Embarking on an upcycling project offers a unique opportunity to breathe new life into discarded materials, transforming them into something not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. My latest endeavor, a coffee table, stands as a testament to this transformative power, marrying the rustic charm of an old basketball court floor with the nostalgia of…
Minimalist Poster Frame
My vision for this project was to make a frame of a poster of Folsom Field during a football game. It was given to me by a good friend, but the odd size of the poster made it a nightmare to find a frame for. And the poster is a little beat up, so displaying…
Paper Mache Head (Inspired by Duane Flatmo)
Paper Mache Head (Inspired by Duane Flatmo) The inspiration for my upcycle idea came from an aesthetic that I experienced about 10 years ago, but have never forgotten about.

Floating Bookshelf
I have a bookshelf in my room next to my desk that is in no way aesthetically appealing, however it is functional.

Medieval Cyber Helmet
For this project I was inspired by designers that I enjoy to follow and some things from my childhood.

He is the one who created…
Aquatic Light
For the upcycle project, I planned to create a visual theme inspired by aquatic or underwater elements.

The Orbeez inside the bottle helps to showcase the LED light in a way that resembles the glow of sea life in…
Artificial Wire Bonsai
1. Context Information: The inspiration behind my project arose from my fascination with the meticulous artistry of Japanese Bonsai cultivation, where every tree embodies a harmonious ecosystem within itself.

Rustic Wall Art | Upcycle Project Overview
Post 5: Rustic Wall Art – Hailey Usher Initial Inspiration Before starting out this project, I first considered what materials I had available to me to upcycle.

The Maximalist Victorian style can be best represented by this photo below. An illustration that depicts a man in a toy-shop in the middle of making another of his works.

Upcycle Design Report: Rustic Mid-Century Wall Clock
For my upcycle project, I decided to pursue the creation of a rustic, mid century-style wall piece.

“Floating” Wine Bottle Holder- Post 5

Industrial Style Bar Cart
My Motivation My inspiration for making an industrial-style bar cart initially came from my love for the urban look. Why I chose an industrial style came from me looking around at house designs and coming to the conclusion that it was one of my favorite aesthetics. The industrial theme was also chosen for its raw…
Stained Glass Motorcycle Helmet
Final artifact Inspiration I was inspired by several things. The first was a slow-speed but fatal motorcycle crash that I witnessed. The motorcyclist had done everything right in terms of protective gear yet still died. I wanted to make a motorcycle helmet from a fragile material that would inflict harm on the wearer if it…
Afrofuturism Mask
Afrofuturism Mask Behold! The final result of my Afrofuturism upcycling design project!

Countertop Wine Rack
Background About 4 years ago, I built a base for my patio from Trex® composite wood. I built this because the concrete floor was very hard to clean with all the dust that accumulated there over time and it was not aesthetically pleasing. Since installing the new decking, the Patio is much nicer to walk…
Upcycle Design Report – ‘HOME.’
Overall My upcycle project, HOME., is a vector image designed to look like star charts of 19th century science graphics with my own touches added here and there. I made it using Inkscape, an open-source vector graphics software (which I would recommend within my limited experience with both graphic design and Inkscape itself). The final…
The Shoe Project – Sophie Berry

Picture Frame
My picture frame upcycle project is based on the mid century modern aesthetic. The reason I chose this aesthetic was to explore a new style that I am unfamiliar with, and more importantly, one that I enjoy. I found this style looking through Charlotte and Peter Fiell’s book 1000 Chairs. While skimming through all the…

Goal: Build a cork bulletin board in the midcentury modern aesthetic with remnant wood . It will house a large poster of the United States so I can insert pins to the locations I’ve traveled to and then display it as wall art. Context: I’ve owned this 50″ x 32″ poster map of the United…
Blue Dragon Storm Vase

Hanging Planter: “Floating Bits of Life”
My upcycle project vision has come to life, and I am happy with what I have created!

This cottagecore aesthetic can be defined by blends of earthy, bright,…
Aquarium Scuba Tank
For my upcycle project I wanted to do something more out of the ordinary and go for a niche aesthetic. The aesthetic I chose is called oceanpunk., which I also decided to pair with the minimalist aesthetic. Oceanpunk has many defining features and is somewhat of a combination or subset of more popular aesthetics such…
Koho Topographic Scrap Wood Sculpture (virtual design)
Initial Thoughts I began my journey with this project, deciding what I wanted to get out of it. With the project’s specifications to make an upcycled artifact that conforms to a specific aesthetic, it was for the most part as open-ended as we wanted it to be. I had a few ideas of where to take…
Cottagecore Patchwork Jeans

Post 5: Cactus Pot
Much of my inspiration for the desert aesthetic flower pot comes from the clay flower pots that many people have used. [1] I knew I wanted to make something out of Legos since I had an excess amount of Lego materials left over at my parents house from when I was young. However, I did…
Rustic Shou Sugi Ban Chess Board – Made with Mountain Barn Wood
Hello everyone. For my upcycle project, I created a rustic shou sugi ban chess board. The rustic nature of this chess board gives way to a natural, stripped, and simple design.

LED Googie Sign
My Upcyle project goal was to create a sign from aluminum cans, inspired by the Googie architectural style during the Atomic age.

Cardboard Topographic Tissue Box Cover
The sources of inspiration for this project came to fruition thanks to the mysterious ways the YouTube algorithm worked. While I intended to use cardboard going into this project (I wasn’t kidding about having an abundance of cardboard lying around), I had no idea how to utilize it. That was until I stumbled upon a…
Industrial Planter
To be honest I really did not have any inspiration when creating this project. Most of my projects revolve around making my room cozy, and implementing things that I need or would like in my room. I think one of the enjoyments of the industrial aesthetic is that it is all about reclaiming old pieces…
Post 5: Industrial Bedside table
My process for creating this project involved going to many many thrift stores to find inspiration for something I could upcycle.

Minimalist Knife Block with Re-used Wood

Flowering Mushroom Book Decoration
Inspirations: I was inspired to create this project from people who have created tea stained artwork, used old books for decoration, and like sore simple decorations that don’t crowd or overwhelm their living spaces (close to minimalists but slightly more). I had wanted to use a duplicate book that I had to create some sort…
Yassifying a Cantaloupe
Background to the Yassification For my upcycling project, I took a cantaloupe and carved a floral design into the surface. The floral aesthetic has been around longer than humans! We put floral patterns in just about any item, ranging from clothing to handbags to bathroom tiles, and even to fruits. My project is based an…
MX-5 Diorama
For this project, I decided to go with a realism aesthetic. The realism aesthetic originates from 19th century France.

Upcycle Design Report: Surreal Symphony
Let’s start by refreshing on what my upcycle project actually is. I used vinyl records that no longer play music as canvases for surrealism paintings.

Rustic Table Coasters
Inspiration: When deciding what I wanted to make, I mainly focused on what materials were easily accessible to me, and since we live in Colorado, I decided to go with something outdoors.
