Customers share handcrafted pieces made from items purchased here

Sometimes our customers send us pictures of their creations after they have renewed a piece they bought from our store. Here are some photos of those upgrades that we have received so far!

A Herington woman bought the yellow dress on the left for a costume for her granddaughter to dress up like Belle Starr, the outlaw that ran with Jesse James. Here is the outcome of the full costume view! 

Here is a well worn black and green dresser that a Fort Riley woman bought from our store.

She turned that into this dresser for her daughter.

Here is another rough dresser that a Council Grove woman bought.

It needed some TLC and got turned into this creation!

Sometimes, our customers will find a unique use for something they buy here, such as this wooden drawer separator box used to display nail polish colors.

Do you have before and after pictures of something you have purchased from our store? If so, email them to Stephanie Gilbert, store manager, at PrairieChicKansas@gmail.com.

Artists who repurpose wood pieces can sell their works

Artists can use wood to repurpose a discarded door, a disastrous dresser, a nuisance nightstand, a bulging bookshelf, or any other worn out wood pieces into something new. Someone with an imaginative mind can see potential in something that others may consider as rustic recycling material. Someone who has some crazy carpentry skills could imagine something similar to these examples:



These aren't the types of pieces that will be found in a metropolitan mall, but they are just the types of work that we are looking to help you sell. They are the types of items that will give the Prairie Chic store its unique offerings. Would you want to create a work of art or other repurposed creation that you could sell? If you have items like these, or any others made out of mangled metal or broken brick or other past prize pieces, and you would like to sell them in our store, contact Stephanie Gilbert, store manager, at PrairieChicKansas@gmail.com.
