Now we're recycling, precycling, downcycling and upcycling....!!
I can't say I completely understand the exact terminology for each 'cycle' but they make it kid friendly at Planet Pals.
Talking of which...there's nothing more unique in a kids room than your own recycled design feature...whether it be a repainted piece of second-hand furniture or cushions made out of old jeans...! Planet Pals call it Refashioning'...I like that!!
Junk shops and car boot sales are a treasure-trove of potential D.I.Y. upcycling projects...start off small with ideas for lamps or soft furnishings and keep in mind how or where at home you can best use anything you find. If you're anything like me...too many projects ongoing at any one time...give yourself a break and stick to one or two projects at a time.
If you're seeking inspiration as to what can be achieved then take a look at Re's website...or The Old Cinema...for great ideas. You may find what you're looking for without even having to lift a paint brush.
