When shopping in the new Rusty Wagon Art & Funky Furniture Redo Joint, 1030 N. U.S. 1, you’ll find unique items and you’re also likely to have a laugh or two.
Rochelle Cannon, owner, and Angie Vogt, have been friends for 30 years and have fun with what they do, reimagining old furniture or turning wooden pieces, such as fencing or barnwood, into works of art.
And currently, in time for the season, they have a Christmas room, where visitors can pose for a holiday photo.
They have a room for woodworking, a room for painting and several rooms where furniture is displayed. Customers can buy a furniture piece as is, or commission Cannon and Vogt to change the color or paint a design to fit their décor.
The two friends have been doing this type of work for 30 years, and now that they have the shop, are able to have all of their supplies and tools in one place.
“We were able to clean up our homes,” Vogt said. “My garage looks great.”
Cannon previously owned Just Like New resale shop, which is still operating in the same plaza, and decided to concentrate on restoring items.
“I’m a big fan of not throwing stuff away,” Cannon said. “I like restoring things.”
She showed an example of a solid oak table that was in a Southwester design. By sanding, refinishing and changing the fabric, she made it more coastal.
Painting discarded wood with designs really took off after Hurricane Matthew, because so much debris remained for a while, Cannon said.
Two customers on a recent day, Henry and Jan Houle, were having a photo they took of the Granada Bridge mounted behind an old wooden window frame.
“These ladies are very creative,” Henry Houle said. “And they have a lot of laughs.”
