    Upcycle And Repurpose Projects

    Upcycling and repurposing thrift store finds is a passion of mine. Not only is it an eco-friendly way to recycle old things into funky and fun home decor, it's extremely budget friendly.

    Some thrift store items can be upcycled with just a little spray paint and some take a little more thought and creativity. Either way it is great way to create some extremely unique items to decorate your home with that cannot be found at big box stores.
