Upcycling refers to the process of taking something old like an antique furniture piece and refurbishing it to give it a new look or function.

While Lee Valley is your trusted advisor for all refinishing and refurbishing needs, the Habitat for Humanity storefront, ReStore, is the go-to destination for sourcing affordable second-hand pieces to upcycle. In these videos, we’ve partnered with ReStore along with restoration expert AJ Geensen to show you how simple it can be to give older furniture pieces a second life while also supporting a good cause.
