About Us
Beth Evans-Ramos
&
Lisa Hilderbrand
We met in a garden club and bonded our friendship while fetching sword ferns. This memorable first outing included a most agreeable visit to a Goodwill thrift store. We recognized immediately that we shared a love of good junk and appreciated a good laugh. We had been decorating our gardens with found objects, and soon recognized it was considered garden art. Our first business venture was a series of outdoor garden art sales, which were an immediate hit. A small business park venue housed the next series of wildly successful sales, where we were able to include home décor and gifts from recycled remnants. Then the Salvage Studio opened a retail location in Edmonds for the next three years, with weekly sales, workshops and events. What a grand time was had by all in that clubhouse atmosphere!
♦
In April 2009, it was time to reinvent ourselves again. Closing the retail studio space was bittersweet. But we are thrilled to have more time and energy to focus on select sales, workshops, speaking engagements and our newest endeavor – Vintage Eco Design and Consulting.
♦
And we love our personal lives.
♦
Beth is a wife, mother of two sons and a daughter-in-law, grandma, cat lover, artist, occasional gardener, constant junker and friend to many.
♦
Lisa loves to garden, cook and create; loves free piles, her husband and their cats; and loves a hot lunch; but not necessarily in that order.
♦
The Salvage Studio allows us to embrace our passions, and share them in a joyful and constructive way with so many other kindred spirits. We are deeply grateful for all the support and friendships we have received as a result of our life work.
