Description

Hello! We are the Salvage Girls !! 2 "stay at home mom's" that sort of fell into all of this. We went to get barn wood one day for a project and when we got to the barn, it was full of antiques, old stuff and lots of junk! The owner said we could take it all if we hauled it away and did the work. So we did! On the drive home we thought, what do we do now?? That's when Salvage Girls was born. It was just last summer, July 2013, and now here we are in a shop of our own. It started in Jenn W's back yard in SE Calgary, then in Jenn P's garage in Carstairs. Finally it got to the point where we had to get a space since we had too much stuff! We struck a deal with the Cerebral Palsy Association of Alberta to rent a bay off them to give it a real shot. Any furniture or home decor type items they have donated to them, comes to us. We fix it up, re purpose it, research it and once it sells, a portion of the profit gets donated back to the CPAA. We also have a program of our own, which is someone donates a piece of furniture etc to us, a % of the profit made from it will be donated to a charity of their choice. Our mission is simple, to keep as much as possible out of the landfills. So much gets tossed that can be reused, refinished or re purposed! That is what we have set out to accomplish and also to bring awareness to the idea of recycling instead of tossing. We have friends in the junk removal business and it is beyond criminal and very very sad to hear of what is just thrown out! We did a salvage job in the fall at a lower Mount Royal home (build in 1910) scheduled for demolition. We had 1 day and 2 trucks to get as much as we could out. We saved 27 beautiful solid wood doors, door headers, windows, the cast iron fireplace insert (which would make an amazing fire pit/place) among many other items. You could say we are similar to the Canadian Pickers but different in that we want to rescue things rather then search through someone's collectibles. We want people to bring us their old stuff they no longer love and we can turn it into something new and trendy again. We both work 2 days a week (Jenn P - Thurs/Fri & Jenn W - Sat/Sun) so that we can also continue being mom's and raising our kids and taking care of business at home with our families. We do custom refinishing, supply the DIY'ers, tear downs, salvaging, garbage picking, clear out hoarder homes, estates etc etc Along the way we stumble upon wonderful treasures, antiques and collectibles. We always research and try to find the back story to anything we bring in. What could be better then owning a piece of history! Paint It Forward Program: Donate a piece of furniture that you no longer want or need. We fix it up, paint it, repurpose it (if needed) and once it sells, a portion of the profit will go to a charity of your choosing! Why not de-clutter your home and at the same time help out a charity close to your heart! It also helps save items from ending up in the landfills before their time is really up! You can find us in Bay 3, 12001 44 street SE! (Located in the Cerebral Palsy Association building) We have 110 year old doors, barn wood, antiques, vintage items, and everything in between!
