Hi Friends!
I hope you had a great weekend! Mine was fantastic both personally and professionally! We hosted our Earth Day Upcycling Contest this past Saturday. It was such a great event, and I am so grateful for those who participated. My hope is that perhaps it served to inspire others to think creatively and to consider repurposing and upcycling! Congratulations to Tami, our Grand Prize Winner and to Ryan, our Staff Pick Winner!

At FunCycled, we love working with clients to help restore and breathe new life into old pieces of furniture. Whether it is a chair, a side table, or bedroom furniture, taking something that is tired and refreshing it truly brings life to me and my team!
My friend and past client Brielle reached out to me to see if I could help her find a hutch for her dining room. She had a large, empty wall so we knew we had to find something large and tall. She gave me her budget and I got to work! In less than a day, I found this beauty and picked it up for her. It’s over 85″ long, and so full of character!! Take a look at the before photo:
We painted the whole piece (inside and out) in Benjamin Moore’s White Sand (image below). White Sand is a beautiful neutral color which met the goal of brightening up this hutch and yet keeping it warm.
And just check out this lovely transformation! With a lighter color paint, you are now able to appreciate the details of the molding at the top and edges of this hutch. Plus, the lighter color helps highlight the window lattice on the glass doors. Put simply, it is beautiful!
Here’s a closer look at the details! We also changed the hardware for our client to bring a more modern touch to the finished look!
A huge thanks to Brielle for hiring us to do take on this furniture project. We are so glad you love the outcome! We do, too : )
