Hi, I'm Sheryl Beckman and I hate to throw anything away. Instead of buying new, I repurpose, upcycle and reuse everything that I can get my hands on. For instance, instead of throwing away old or broken furniture, I'll repair the damage or turn it into something that's usable. After making repairs or changing the entire look of the piece, I may add new upholstery or a fresh coat of paint. If you enjoy doing home projects and bringing new life to old furniture, you're going to love my blog. I wrote this blog so that I could share my knowledge of upcycling and restoring unusable furniture. As you read my posts, you'll be amazed at what you can do with old furniture and the transformation you'll see. You'll be so excited, you won't be able to wait to get started on your first project.
