As co-owner of the well-known Salvage Studio, Beth Evans-Ramos honed her unique skills by rescuing good junk and repurposing it into fun and functional pieces. Her interests range from art, to gardening, to professional “junking” and she confesses to an unabashed addiction to anything rusty. Beth has shared these passions with others throughout her career, teaching workshops and speaking to groups, both locally and on the national circuit. Beth and her business partner, Lisa Hilderbrand, and their business, The Salvage Studio, were featured in Sunset Magazine (October, 2008) with their “Think Green Event.” Her own Mill Creek garden and art graced the pages of Flea Market Style in an article last summer about her talent for “repurposing” household items.

Beth is the co-author of The Salvage Studio:  Sustainable Home Comforts to Organize, Entertain and Inspire (Skipstone Press, 2008). The Everett Herald, in its review, wrote “Everything old really is new again” about Beth’s creative pieces. Beth’s most recent area of focus is Vintage Eco Design and Consulting, where she works with retail businesses to incorporate sustainable products and styling.

Please join us for NPA’s South Sound lecture and the opportunity to meet Beth and see her many inspiring creations! And plan to take in the beauty and splendor of spring at Lakewold Gardens during your visit; the small nursery and gift shop are a fun place to shop.
