I’ve always loved breathing new life into old furniture. There’s something really satisfying about taking a worn-out chair or a tired cabinet and turning it into something fresh and full of character. That’s what Upcycle Craft is all about—sharing those moments and projects with folks who want to do the same.
I’m Jason Harvey, and this site started because I kept getting asked how I do it—how I find and fix up pieces, what materials work best, and how to avoid big mistakes. Over the years, I’ve made plenty of those mistakes myself, so I wanted to create a place where people can learn from real experience, not just theory. Everything here is stuff I’ve tried at home, in my own space, often with limited tools and sometimes on a tight budget. It’s not about fancy workshops or perfect results, but about workable ideas you can trust.
Upcycle Craft exists because I believe upcycling isn’t just a craft; it’s a way to reconnect with things, reduce waste, and create a home that feels uniquely yours. It’s about finding joy in the process, even when things don’t go exactly as planned. Here you’ll find projects and advice that come from rolling up my sleeves and getting hands-on, with the hope that it inspires you to do the same.
This space is meant to be reliable and straightforward—no fluff, just practical insight from someone who genuinely cares about making old things new again. Whether you’re just starting out or have some projects behind you, I hope what you find here feels like advice from a friend who’s done this all before and is happy to share.
