Resources
Ideas for repurposing and restyling furniture
and home decor accents abound on Pinterest
and Etsy. But BC has a wellspring of local
upcycling resources, too: design blogs such
as Upcycle That (upcyclethat.com), along with
green-minded organizations such as Upcycle
Vancouver (upcyclevancouver.com) and
The Okanagan Upcycle Resource Society
(ours-penticton.ca). Habitat for Humanity
ReStores across the province are a great
source for materials and inspiration, too,
offering vintage furniture and new and
used building supplies (habitat.ca/restores).
But you can find items to upcycle almost
anywhere: thrift stores, flea markets, garage
sales. And, of course, your own basement.
