While 100-year-old antiques and collectibles still have a niche in the market today, a new growing trend is repurposing salvageable
materials. This process may be billed as upcycling, restore, reuse, reinvent or a plethora of up- and re- prefixed terms..
Shoppers can find these items in many decor stores and antique shops advertised in The Exchange. Examples may include jewelry made
from silverware, barnyard signs and furniture, Mason jar chandeliers, old frame chalkboards, car part couches, and thrift store sweaters
refashioned into leg warmers. It requires creativity, a funky imagination, and sometimes actual engineering.
Of course antique purists may be horrified when Grandma's solid oak buffet is repurposed into a chippy painted, funky, man cave bar, but
there are still a lot of quality genuine antiques & collectibles available too.
Maybe that hard-to-buy-for relative on your holiday list would love a tricycle table!
