Some of the highlights from her recycled furniture range include Printers Tray glass top table made from an original printers tray, Suitcase Chairs recreated from worn out vintage trunks, Hatbox Ottoman made from a vintage brown hatbox, Suitcase Side table made using a black vintage Remington typewriter case and the Ammo Crate side table.
