"Upcycling furniture is a fantastic way of taking unused and unloved items of furniture and making them look refreshed and like a newly brought item of furniture. Upcycling is a great way of adding style and more often a theme to your home or business interior at a much lower cost than buying it"

"It is taking a piece of furniture that is either bland and uninteresting or old and damaged and creating something beautiful with paints and fabrics. A simple coat of paint on a once tired looking table can make it look brand new again!
