Full Circle Furniture is exactly what the name indicates: It’s a furniture store where each piece was once something else.<\/p>\n

\nThe store is the product of a local environmental group that seeks to salvage items destined for the landfill.<\/p>\n
Nicole Craig’s computer desk used to be a door. “Everyone’s amazed,” he said. “It used to be two doors; doors slated for the landfill and given new life.”

\nShe gave the desk new life herself with do-it-yourself instructions, WISC-TV reported. “Just working through instructions, I was able to build a table out of the doors, what a great idea,” she said.<\/p>\n
Keeping those old doors out of the landfill is the next big project.<\/p>\n
“It would have been considered garbage,” said environmentalist Christi Weber. “We can make functional pieces and it also tells a story.” The story behind Craig’s door, which became a desk, was that it was one of more than 200 saved from a Meriter Hospital deconstruction project downtown. Now, each door is useful in a new way. “As tables, desks, craft carts, kitchen islands for eating at,” said Weber. “We’re providing alternatives to some of the furniture that is just throw-away. This is something long-lasting, durable, healthier.”<\/p>\n
Currently, Full Circle Furniture is only selling pre-made items that cost from $700 to $2,000. They plan to provide the do-it-yourself instructions to the public by the end of the month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
