Are You Creatively Inclined?

Do you ever see the people who drive around looking for garage sales and yard sales where they can find small treasure troves of items to refurbish? They can completely redo a sofa or even a dining room table. They look for items, such as furniture, to purchase and completely remodeled and turn it into something that looks completely different, trendy, and new and then turn around and sell it for profit. They don’t just buy furniture to refurbish they also make things out of items like window panes, doors, old iron gates, etc. The finished product is typically amazing. These things sell as high dollar items because of the trendy look they get after someone is finished refurbishing. Most people cannot tell that these items were picked up at a garage sale for probably 1/10 of the amount that they sell for. If you are one of these people, then you probably make a pretty decent living or at least have quite a bit of extra cash due to your unique creativity.

Why Refurbish Instead of Buying New?

The answer to this is simple, some people like the old look of these refurbished items. They typically have a uniqueness about them that cannot be bought in the store. This is the main attraction for people who like to have these types of items in their home. Plus, there’s something appealing to the fact that you are eating dinner off of a 65-year-old table as opposed to just going to the store and buying a brand-new one. Refurbished furniture can give your home an entirely new look. It can also help you to obtain the rustic look if that’s what you’re going for. So, there’s definitely a market for these types of items.

Historic Route 66- Main Street of America

Historic Route 66- Main Street of America Over the years, Route 66 has provided travelers, dreamers, and renegades with an experience no other route can give. Established November 11, 1926, covered 2,448 miles and originally ran through eight states starting from Chicago, Ill to Santa Monica, CA and quickly began to be one of the most popular highways in America.

With barren land surrounding them, farmers and their families gathered essentials and traveled west in hopes of work. Towns, mom and pop businesses, and service stations along the highway survived The Great Depression by catering to travelers with supplies, fuel, and car parts. Res...
