Bed Frame Bench

TLD Member Cindy used an idea from our Weekly Specials to turn this old bed frame into a bench! It turned out beautifully!


Dragon Mural at Success Academy

Mural artist John Gingrich uses paint from The Loading Dock to paint beautifully detailed murals. He painted this dragon mural at Success Academy, a school for kids with discipline struggles in Baltimore, MD as part of a volunteer project.  The dragon symbolizes inner turmoil, fearful to confront but ultimately beautiful and light. 


Décor to a-DOOR

TLD member Julie has created beautiful and practical accents for her home using old doors from The Loading Dock's warehouse.


These ARE the droids you're looking for.

These were created by Owen and Sasha for a Star Wars themed birthday party! Party-goers made droids out of things found at TLD.


Bed Spring Flag
