It's your Swag. It's your story. Reclaim it!
You are valuable and your story is powerful! This may not sound like the beginning of an “About” page, yet Reclaimed Swag is really about you and your story. I doubt you clicked “About” to find out how old I was when I first used a hammer anyway! 😉
I do want to introduce myself. I’m Donna Swaggerty – I make furniture and other useful things from reclaimed wood. Put reclaimed wood together with my last name and it explains where the Reclaimed Swag concept started. But from the beginning it’s been about the power of a story.
You know what another name for reclaimed wood is? Trash.
Every Reclaimed Swag piece uses surplus construction lumber, pallets or crating that was destined for a landfill. Almost by definition, if something is being recycled or reclaimed, it’s been used. And often is useless for its original intent. I think that’s why seeing the transformation from useless to useful, from ugly to beautiful, is so inspiring to me. So much so it’s become my reason for making things – to remind you of how far you’ve come. And why Reclaimed Swag is about you – way more than it is me.
You'll find the most current Reclaimed Swag info over on Instagram...
