How things change! Those of us old enough to remember the 1980 Jona Lewis song You”ll Always Find Me in the Kitchen at Parties will recall that in those days being in the kitchen at parties was perceived as a boring and antisocial thing to do. But now kitchens are often the focus of parties! Granted, they may be bigger and more open plan than before, but kitchens are more often than not the place to be.
In recent blogs we have featured various examples of upcycling i.e. reusing existing items of furniture to create new products. In this article we are delighted to feature an example very close to home!
Our recent DIY Homefit blog on Five things to do with an old kitchen cupboard sparked a lot of interest, so we have decided to do a regular monthly feature on the topic of upcycling. These days many of us are interested in upcycling, both as a means of economising and spending less, and also to reduce our carbon footprint.

What is going to happen to them? They have served you well over the years …. do they really deserve just to end up in a skip at the local waste recycling centre, or in the garage awaiting Bonfire Night?
