The Recycling Decorator was created to fufill a class assignment for a graduate class called, "Internet for Librarians" (LSC 548).  This class is taught at the University of Rhode Island.  The information for this site comes from the author's experience as a homeowner, former employer at a furniture store and interior design shop, as well as a personal interest in anything antique, vintage, used, well worn and loved.  Also, the author's mother once owned a cosignment store and information was passed on from one generation to the next!
