THE PICKLEE STORY…
Picklee.com [pronounced "pick-lee"] was founded in early 2012 by Jordan Crompton, (that’s me!) a twenty-something girl with a ridiculous passion for reviving old, forgotten about pieces and creating beautiful things on a dime. My purpose for creating Picklee was to inspire as many people as I could reach with fresh, innovative ideas for creating beautiful things & saving money. My greate
st passion has always been bringing new life to old things by reviving & restoring otherwise helpless “picks”. Nothing makes me happier than finding a piece of furniture to re-purpose (or creating one) for a fraction of what it would cost at some of my favorite fancy stores.
Basically, I’m just your average girl with a taste for the finer things…but without a budget to match! This little hitch is what keeps me constantly inspired to create and share beautiful things (from crafts and jewelry to furniture and home decor) that just about anyone can do. You’ll find that many the things I create are beach rustic/coastal inspired…I grew up (and still reside) along the coast in tiny Rhode Island, what can I say 
Oh, and I can’t forget my second greatest love- food. I love trying new things and experimenting with fresh, healthy, organic foods. The best meals are those that taste like a splurge, but are actually super nutritious and beneficial for a healthier lifestyle. On Picklee.com I share tried and true healthy living tips, new recipe creations and of course my top recipe “picks”.
Nothing inspires me more than reading your emails & hearing your ideas, thoughts and comments, so keep them coming! I hope my “fresh picked inspiration” stirs up your creativity and brings you as much joy as it gives me to share.
you are incredibly talented!
My wonderfully talented niece. I am so proud of you!! I wish you all the best Jordan and I am so happy that you found something that you are so passionate about.

Love your blog! I am all about re-finishing thrift store furniture but I have never dared to re-cover a chair until now! Your results are just in time for my moving into a newplace in Dallas and I will def. follow your lead! Thanks for sharing!
I was inspired by one of your posts in restyling accessories! I’m the type who doesn’t throw away stuff always keeping in mind, I’d find something to do with old things.
We’ll share with you some of the restyled accessories I’ve made. 
That’s great! Please do share your creations, I would love to see them!
Best,
Jordan

A wonderful store in Newport, and I can’t wait to visit which will be in another week. Jordan and her mom are great, and the store is so beautiful…..
Thanks Brenda!
in simple words you are G-G…(genius and gorgeous)…
I feel the same way you do about furniture. I always told my fiance I wanted to start a furniture salvaging business. I actually get sad when I see a perfectly good piece of furniture sitting on the curb for trash pick up. The least that person could do was donate it. I wish I had a bigger car (we drive a two door Chevy Cavalier- TINY!) so I could pick up those pieces of furniture, fix them up, and give them new life.
I hear ya, Libby! That’s how all of this madness began with me! I just can’t bear to see perfectly good things go to waste!
