Many of us have been introduced to Diana Durkes by Time Out Chicago, where you can find her regular "tossed and found" projects. Diana's blog, Fine Diving in Chicago, makes it easy to follow this re-user's Before & After projects, which will inspire those new to diving and enhance the know-how of old pros. Diana even tracks/maps her dumpster diving locations, evidence that she is digging far and wide. Here are some favorite re-works of magic:

• Retro chest of drawers
• Lepidoptera Table
• Rocking chair
• Octagon table
• Pair of night tables
