Upcycling

Today was a busy day filled with a lot of driving and picking up materials for the shop. All the driving today was fueled by an epiphany ... I had previously decided I was going to install tile in the majority of the shop, but that all changed today. I decided to stick within the theme of the shop "Up-cycling and Re-purposing."  There is a small glitch in this new idea and that is I created more work for all of us! Boy not everyone was happy, but after sharing the idea and convincing through a collage of pictures backed by some research the idea became a little more tolerable.

If all works out the way "I think" it will then what a treat the floors will be. I am so excited and so exhausted all at the same time.

I am really tempted to share the new idea with everyone, but I think I may save this surprise until we actually start creating the floor. I will make sure to post pictures as well as share the process as we learn our way through this incredible Up-cycled project.

What I will share is a photo of the shop in the condition we received it- now remember I have plans for the face of this building.



Future home of U.R.U. ... we are the Pink one for now...

Here is the mock up my son created for me; however, I have a few other ideas in mind as well.


Let me state for the record, "I reserve the right to change my mind and drive everybody a little crazy," ... I am just kidding (Kind of)


On a closing note- If anyone has some fabulous up-cycling or re-purposing ideas please share!
