Laura Yeramysheva-Bley, her husband Jerrod Bley and their children (from left) Leopold, Cora and Embry, at the antique dining room table they found on Facebook Marketplace. The family furnished their Lincoln home with used items. They try to lessen their impact on the environment by reclaiming, reusing and recycling everything they can.
