A Chick Good To Know
Reuse offcuts
If you rip out the old kitchen, do not automatically throw everything in the skip. old pipe can be upcycled for the brackets, while the pieces of wood that has been languishing in a garage can be used as a shelf.
Or, if you install a new wood worktops, keep the offcuts for some chunky rack instead.

Go to the lighting industry
There are many replicas around, but if you can hunt them, the original pendant lamp factory will actually see the business.
They can be spray-painted in the color you want for the new look, but the chipped paint can look good, too. Playing safe with muted gray and pastel fine powder, or go bold with bright pink or electric blue.
Closing-down restaurant is also a great resource if you're a fan of oversized lighting.

Be creative with crates
Old wine or fruit crates are so versatile when it comes to kitchen storage. They can be free standing, wall, stacked together to cover an entire wall, painted or simply left as they are.
Add hook on the inside (or below if the wall) to cover enough of your favorite cup of tea, or take it to the next level by lining the inside with floral wallpaper.

Whatever you choose -? wallpaper, old magazines or sheet music can be simple - cover it with a piece of glass cut to size so that you have a lap-clean surface.

Keep those old cans and bottles
Before disposing of all cans and bottles in the recycling bin, just think about how they can be reused. potted plants galvanized all the rage, but a can make equally good containers for herbs and plants in the kitchen - as well as glass jars.
If you do not want to leave empty bottles or cans, outer cover with pretty wrapping paper or wind around the tape or rope.

transform with paint
one of the main objectives of upcycling is to change something for as little money as possible - and repainting of existing units certainly ticks that box. A simple paint job can effectively provide an entirely new look, sometimes for less than £ 100
Why not choose three shades of the same color to create an on-trend ombre effect? Then the team with some accessories in a contrasting color. Add to handle reclamation to complete the look.
