\n“I began ‘up –cycling’ years ago when I was in my early twenties. I used furniture that was not being used by anyone and wa s in danger of being either discarded or given away\,” DeMonbreun said. “A s time has gone on\, I have found myself seeing things on the side of the road and visualizing the finished product before I rescue it.”
\nDeM onbreun\, who has been a framer for 31 years\, named her hobby-turned-busi ness of painting furniture after a favorite word created by her mother dur ing childhood.
\n“I think it is just a delightful expression that I wanted to incorporate the word into my painted furniture. It is a surprise when a chair that has been thrown away is brought back to life for someon e to enjoy once again.”
