Re-Inspiration Store

I love the Re-​Inspiration Store. Great concept of re-​used, re-​purposed, and recycled art and gifts. Plus lots of local artists. I bought my mom and dad Christmas presents there this year. I work down the street and I’ve been stopping in every few weeks and there’s been a good turn-​over in merchandise. Great people, as one would expect.

Wow what a great fun store! The owner greeted me at the door explained briefly what the store was about then let me roam! So many cool things. Wish I could afford more things but I did find some things within my budget.

Good in theory but perhaps underwhelming in practice. Any environmentally-​conscious person loves the idea of creating novel pieces with what you already have on hand, but the variety of trinkets here lacked cohesion in their displays and casual affordability in their prices.
I enjoyed browsing the pieces and even chuckled (aloud, I’ll admit) at some of the snarky quotes and ideas. The lady working there was incredibly personable and made the visit pleasurable. At the end of the day, however, I felt like I could personally craft some of the store’s offerings and wouldn’t want to pay quite as much as required for those that I couldn’t. I’d stop in again if in the area, but I wouldn’t make a separate trip.

While I love the idea of «up-​cycling» products and turning trash into treasure, I was not overly impressed with this store.
The store is a little house of a thing with rooms of fun items. The woman working behind the counter was extremely friendly and welcoming, talking to customers about the unique selection of products and inquiring about how they heard of the store.
Walking from room to room, the products were nicely laid out with displays by different artists and for different audiences (i.e. «man candles» with cigar scents and other rugged smells, quirky signs mashed together from old license plates, jewelry constructed from bullets). My personal favorite was the jewelry collection made from windshield glass. I was also tickled by the iPhone cover that featured screenshots of Natalie Portman in «V for Vendetta». Many of the products were intriguing and lovely, but rather pricey. Even with a ScoutMob discount as enticement, I couldn’t bring myself to spend $ 50 for a pair of fun and funky shades made from someone’s old deck.
I didn’t «have to have» anything that I saw, but I liked perusing. Cute concept, but I wouldn’t necessarily rush to go back there or recommend to friends. There are plenty of other gift shops and vintage treasure troves in ATL that are more moderately priced and offer a wider selection of products.

This store is an awesome concept… we already have enough «stuff» in our lives and a lot of this stuff gets thrown away without realizing its full potential… as art. Here, you will find all sorts of incredibly unique gifts that friends will surely appreciate, and the items here will make you marvel at the kinds of things people can do with ordinary, discarded objects.
In addition to the owner’s creations, Re-​Inspiration features works by multiple local artists, lending variety to what the place offers. There’s something for everyone here. I’ve seen a fair amount of creations with the recycled concept, but don’t usually purchase anything. However, even I found something here for myself!.. Some delightfully nerdy coasters made from computer chip boards and cards that featured watch faces (with the arrows still on them!) that had been removed from old wristwatches. probably the most interesting cards I have ever seen and will surely impress friends. The coolest thing I got was probably an iPhone case made from vinyl records… didn’t even know that was possible.
I don’t know how often the place is restocked with new items, but I will definitely be back to get presents for friends (or goodies for myself)!

I have been shopping at The Re-​Inspiration Store ever since they opened on Huff Rd. I buy ALL my Mom’s birthday, anniversary, Mother’s Day, and Chanukah gifts there because they have the most fabulous, unique, and wonderful recycled yard art that my Mom just adores. Brooke, the owner, is so sweet and accomodating. She has put things aside for me all the time when I can’t get in quickly to pick up. The new store in VaHi is beautiful and definitely worth a visit!

Clever, unique, and creative! Supporting local artists and the idea of making everything from recyclable materials — it is a definite place to shop!

I live in San Francisco where we are surrounded by eco-​do-​gooders so I didn’t expect to see anything I hadn’t seen before at the Re-​Inspiration Store. I was wrong!
The store was laid out in such a way that encouraged your discovery of one fun thing after another. If only my suitcase could have held more gifts… I ended up purchasing two big, colorful flowers w/​short inspirational messages that I will hang on the wall in my daughter’s room. These flowers were too big to take home easily on the plane so the store shipped them to me, no problem.
If you are looking for a unique gift or you just want to be inspired by people’s thoughtful creativity with ordinary discarded objects I urge you to take a stroll in this store.
Kudos to the Re-​Inspiration Store for being part of the solution to our nation’s overflowing landfills. Loved it!

I recently visited the Re-​Inspiration store on a trip to Atlanta and what a fantastic find! I spent hours wandering through all the rooms filled with such beautiful works of art. I can honestly say that you can find something for everyone on your gift list (and something for you too!) — there is something for every budget. The quality is amazing and it was hard to choose something because everything was interesting, unique, well made, and gorgeous. I highly recommend you check it out next time you are in Atlanta.

Attended a paper/​Valentines making class with Katy and had a terrific time. Quite honestly, I’ve never thought I had a creative bone in my body, but it’s amazing to see what you create when you have great minds around you!!! I would DEFINITELY recommend it!

This store is fantastic! They have a huge variety of really cool, handcrafted items primarily created by local designers. Everything in the store is recycled and repurposed, so if you’re on the hunt for eco-​friendly gifts, this is the place. One of my favorites is the recycled glass jewelry, Smart Glass, made by Atlanta designer Kathleen Plate. And I love Haute Goat, especially the petite stuffed owls made from reclaimed cashmere.
Since they often change out what they have to offer, stop by often.

I stumbled on Re Inspirations while shopping at
Forsythe Fabrics. Re Inspiration is a fun store filled with one of a kind unique art, accessories and gifts… many made by local and regional artists. Everything in the store is derived from recycled materials. I bought a set of blown glass bowls for a wedding gift along with a hand made paper card… it was a major hit to the couple in California!
The owner will also take a piece of funiture you have and challenge an artist to repurpose it! recycling at it’s best!
I am a designer and local artist (not affiliated with the store) and Ii highly recommend you visit RE Inspiration if you like whimsical fun art and/​or if you like to buy local and recycled… a win for all!

Green things make me tingle and I crave and envy people’s ability to transform trash into treasures.
The first time I visited Re-​inspiration Store I was in complete awe. I traveled about the shop finding goodies that I wanted to make a home for. The owner Brooke was really friendly and showed me her workspace as she turned wine bottles into beautiful vases.
The space is filled with great household trinkets. I picked up a dope Doobie Brothers coaster set and bowl made from the original vinyl record and cover.
Other marvelous pieces include upcycled jewelry, sculptures created from scrap metal, vintage tables and beaded mirrors with silverware handles.
I could probably spend an entire check in this store without thinking about it. It’s definitely a spot that will be instrumental in decorating my home and providing inspiration for my own eco-​friendly art projects.
