You shouldn’t have to start over to love where you live.

Your kitchen looks dated, or a room just doesn’t feel like you anymore. Every option you find seems to mean a full remodel, and new cabinets alone can run $10,000 to $50,000. So the project sits on your list while the overwhelm grows.

Your home should bring you peace, not stress.

Sarah Trop, interior designer and founder of FunCycled

your guides

We love taking something broken and making it beautiful.

We get it. Most people don’t need a brand-new house. They need the one they have to finally feel like home. Sarah and John Trop started FunCycled in 2012, sharing tips for redoing furniture and selling the pieces they rescued. That love of second chances grew into interior design and kitchen cabinet painting for homes across the Capital Region.

Sarah leads the design. John brings years of hands-on carpentry. Together, we keep what you love and build around it, so your home feels personal, not catalog-perfect.

WITHOUT A PLAN

The kitchen stays on the “someday” list for another year. The room that never felt right keeps quietly draining you. Or you pay for a full remodel, $10,000 to $50,000 for new cabinets alone, when a fresh finish and a smart design would have done the job.

WITH FUNCYCLED

You pour your morning coffee in a kitchen that looks brand new. The pieces you love, maybe a family table or a vintage find, have a second life in a room that finally feels like you. Friends ask who did your kitchen. And when you walk through the door, you feel what home is meant to feel like: peace.

Your home is ready for its second chance.

You don’t need to start over. You need a plan, and a team who loves bringing tired spaces back to life. Send us a few photos of your kitchen, or book a design consultation, and let’s get your home feeling like home again.
