Kate and Dani
The 411:
Dani and I are BFs who used to live in the same town. Then Dani moved to Seattle and we started our junking business in 2013 as a way to fund our plane tickets to see each other! We have a passion for turning junk into treasure with a modro (modern + retro) design aesthetic.
You knew you were a junker when…
…I picked out a broken bird bath out of your neighbor’s garbage (in the middle of the night). Then I fixed up that little gem, painted it in trendy colors and sold it! Note: The neighbor saw the finished product and considered buying it back!
Best all-time junking find:
vintage Coke bottle vending machine
You never junk without…
…an imagination! You’ll never know what you find and you’ll never know what the final product will be.
In your garage: cars or junk?
two cars and one trailer containing all junk!
No one would ever guess you…
…have gone junking in heels!
