Back to My Roots

Before all of this house craziness began, I found a lot of joy in refinishing or re-purposing furniture.  This was sort of the basis of our blog name “Upcycled Ugly”.  I would buy or inherit “ugly”, old furniture and attempt to turn it into something cooler, more attractive, or more functional.

I recently was able to spend a bit of time getting “back to my roots” and it brought me a lot of joy.

Anyway, thanks for humoring me!  These projects are so much more fun when I get to share “before and after” photos with you wonderful people!
