Publisher: Rusted Treasure

We are a husband and wife team who started Rusted Treasure because of Jennifer's love for furniture re-finishing and Kevin's love for antiques. We were starting to re-finish so many pieces of furniture and collect so many antique and home decor items we decided to open a booth in a local antique mall earlier this year. The success we have had has been truly amazing. - Jennifer - I am Jennifer co-creator of Rusted Treasure. I am a wife and mother of 4 great kids, ages 13,15,20 and 21...well two are now technically adults, but they still live at home while going to college so they still fall under the "kid" category :). I absolutely LOVE to find old furniture that has been neglected or abused and transforming it into something modern and useable again. Sometimes this is a pretty big under taking but, it is a challenge I gladly except! I started re-finishing furniture because well....Im cheap! I really hate to pay money for anything I can do myself (see honey I can admit it lol). So, I started painting pieces of furniture for our home, and as time went on I started perfecting my technique and getting more consistent. Earlier this year I found myself laid off from my job, which gave me the opportunity to shift my re-finishing skills into high gear. I started selling some pieces to help out since I wasn't working and the response was very positive. I talked to my husband about setting up a booth in a local antique mall to start selling the completed pieces (since we were running out of room in our garage) and he was so supportive. I really hope everyone could have at least one person in there life that is as supportive as my husband. I could not have accomplished as much as I have in this process without him. I have never given up because of my partner...in our little business and life!! - Kevin- I am Kevin, the other co-founder of Rusted Treasure and husband to the woman up there!! I have loved history and basically anything "old" for as long as I can remember. There is something so intriguing about finding an item that is 100 years old and learning about where its been, what it was made for, or who owned it. Times have changed and are constantly changing, all these items that I find and collect just show us where we have been and where we are going. I was really excited when Jenn suggested opening our booth. This is something I have been aspiring to do for years and with my antiques and Jenn's re-finished furniture we are able to combine both our passions into a thriving business. Plus, it doesn't hurt to start a new and exciting journey with your best friend! k you for getting to know us a little and we hope you come back often!!! -Jenn and Kevin-
