Thrifty Thursday~ Upcycled Home Decor

NY City Love Photo by Pixamatic

 Happy Valentine's Day!
We hope all of you have a wonderful Valentine's Day! 
Love is in the air and Spring is on the way!


I'll bet many of you are idly daydreaming of Springtime! Aside from being the season of love, it's also when we freshen up the home and get rid of the winter doldrums!

And it's a great time to go thrift store shopping for some "new" accessories for the home. The next time you walk by something you think is useless, think about these Etsy items from our team we are featuring today. It's always amazing what some of our Upcyclers can do with typical thrift shop finds~ Cast off's and junk are turned into unique and clever works of art, home decor and housewares!

Check out these eco-friendly, fun and functional finds for this Spring...

All Steampunked Up~cycled for the Holidays!

One of the most intriguing fashion trends of recent years is Steampunk~ a fantastical blend of Victorian-era fashion and pre-modern industrial technology. It's popularity started in the 80's and the movement is still growing strong, with dedicated and imaginative fans attending expos and gatherings around the planet.

For Upcyclers, it's a fantastic genre to work with. We create new from old~ using cast-offs unwanted by society that would otherwise be destined for overfilled landfills. Steampunk's inspiring and bizarre images drive you to think beyond the normal use of typical items and take you to another time and place in history.
