Bedrock Industries - My Kind of Recycling!

What can I say? I can go a little crazy at this place!  Bedrock Industries is located in Seattle just under the Magnolia Bridge, off Interbay and Garfield.  If you are not careful, it's easy to drive right by.  Totally non-descript salvage yard, full of incredible "stuff".   Definitely a trash-to-treasure kind of shopping experience!   Wait till you see the "faux" sea glass I grabbed for our party decorations this weekend......

Can you see that cool light fixture above Allison?  (my cute daughter!) Bedrock turned an old industrial light shade from a remodeled shopping mall into a jellyfish like chandelier!  Adding long recycled white glass tendrils, with hand crafted fused glass discs in blue and green.  So creative - wish I had a house big enough for these.

Bedrock collects "garbage" glass, saving it from a life in a landfill, then they create the most beautiful things.  Tiles for floors, showers and counter tops, unique dinnerware, fused glass art and of course, tumbled glass in just about every color imaginable.

Just look at this fun dinnerware and these cute "fresh fish"!

Now... Prepare to be amazed!










OOOOOOOO!  Allison and I scooped up the aquas and the the pinks - just wait till you see what we're doing with it for my mom and dad's 50th anniversary.  Have a great weekend everyone!
