With our new pioneering experimental, mend and make do mentality we have had a go at upcycling – here, salvaging 2 mirrors. In our quest to tread more lightly and make do we still want to live in beautiful spaces …
Financially, upcycling makes sense and generally old furniture tends to be nicer, well made and has proven it can endure time (and family life!). There is much inspiration to be found on the net. Remade in Britain has lots of how to videos and examples of furniture that have been salvaged and upcycled for ideas. Clio Muse & Sarah Moore has even made a career out of upcycling and repurposing salvaged furniture.
We found these big wooden framed mirrors on Gumtree locally. 4 for £20! They needed a few screw holes filling but after this and painting with 2 or 3 coats of Annie Sloan paint were perfect and worthy of a space on our walls!
Have a go …
