Ki Nassauer

Hockey-moms-turned-business-partners Ki Nassauer and Sue
Whitney scour salvage yards, city clean-ups, and even
abandoned grocery stores and bowling alleys looking for
trash to rejuvenate into striking home decor.

The rubbish renovators operate JUNKMARKET, their workshop
and warehouse where they also conduct occasional but wildly
popular sales of vintage furniture and their own one-of-a-
kind junk creations of furniture and whimsical accessories.

In 2004, the JUNKMARKET girls debuted a new gift line in
Target Stores. Popularity has spurred a column for Country
Home magazine, and Nassauer and Whitney also appear on
national and regional television shows. In addition, they
offer junking seminars for avid followers (their mailing
list has grown to 18,000) who are inspired by eclectic
tastes from the junking underworld.
