Here at The Resource Exchange, sharing customer projects is one of our most valued means of engagement with the community. Seeing where our materials are going and how they’re being used drives us further in our mission of diverting valuable materials from landfill and putting them back into the hands of local collectors and creators!
As they say, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure – and we’re stock full of treasures! Check out these awesome customer projects using velvet remnants by local designer Kevin O’Brien!

Thank you Kris!! 💚
