Upcycled by Char Hi, Thanks for visiting my page. I am a mom, working full time and upcycling furniture as a hobby (for now!). Again, thanks for taking the time to visit my page.

The creative aspect of upcycling furniture is a great stress reliever and helps me relax. I will begin posting items I've done in the past, some of my current projects I am working on and progress into showing how I accomplish the transformations of furniture I have or find.

I've been keeping myself busy!

Decided to make a staging wall in my spare room. First pic is before and next is almost finished. I have one more panel to complete.

Created a little plant stand out of two thrifted pieces, I'm in love with this one.

Refinished a bookshelf in our office, much needed decluttering!

Upcycled an thrifted picture frame with IOD transfers, a little paint and gilding wax. I think it turned out great!

So much more to come :)

Next victim! I have to finish some chairs for a kitchen set I’m refinishing (stay tuned for the reveal) then tackling this cute table. It’s really sturdy and a little heavy. Love starting new projects!

Hi All! It's been a minute since I posted. Life has been a little crazy.

Just finished this commissioned piece (lol - for my sister) who wanted a small table to use outside on a covered backed porch.

I paid maybe 5 bucks for this piece, it was pretty dirty when I picked it up. Cleaned it up and sanded it. It had a lip on the top and I thought it would be better if it was a smooth top, so my hubby cut a piece of plywood to fit the top and beveled the sides so the handles could still be used.

She wanted something floral and chose the bird tissue paper for a decoupage top and shelf.

I didn't spend too much time filling in all the imperfections because I liked it and it was for outside.

I did buy some rubber footies for the legs in case water collected on the floor of the porch.

I double sealed it too for durability.

What do you think?
