Here's me:
Diana Durkes is a writer who's in the reclamation business. For the past few years, she's combed the alleys, yard sales and dumpsters around Chicago in search of the tossed and found of urban life. She then drags it all home and refurbishes her finds into respectable members of household society again
In addition to writing Garage Sale Warrior, she shares the how-to's for her makeovers on her blog, Fine Diving in Chicago. She contributes the monthly Tossed and Found column in Time Out Chicago. She also features many of her makeover projects under the label Table for Eight on Etsy.
