As an avid "upcycler", I love the challenge of taking something that has been discarded and giving it new life. Check out some of these transformations.

Purchased from a Habitat for Humanity ReStore for $50, tender loving care, paint and pretty drawer pulls brought this dated dresser back to life.

How Cool is This?

This painting was done by one of my fellow volunteers on the Habitat for Humanity Upcycling Team.  Flooring underlay became a canvas for this amazing painting.  Luke, you are so talented!!

Upcycled Bicycle Wheel/Chandelier Side Table

An old bicycle wheel and chandelier were reinvented to make this amazing table.  Everything is from off cast materials, including the wood.  Another amazing Habitiat for Humanity Upcycled Item.  Go team!

Upcycled Secretary Desk

Another Habitiat for Humanity ReStore find. Paint, new pulls and a little fabric makes a great mini-office in this owner's small apartment.

Removing the little boxes on the back allowed me to add a fabric wrapped peg board in the owner's favourite colour!

Lego Anyone?

The Habitat for Humanity Upcylcying team takes broken and discarded furniture and gives it new life.  Neil's sense of fun shines through on this upcycled dresser!

Kitchen Table

I purchased this table for $5 on Kijji. While it was a solid wooden table, it was in dreadful shape. After a good sanding and cleaning I used leftover bedroom wall paint and some painters tape to make a fun table for a student's home.

Office Desk

 An old broken dining room table was upcycled to make this lovely desk. The perfect size for this small home office.
