The Full Story
SOUL OF A PLANET LLC
I've always been passionate about sustainability and the environment. I have always loved decorating my home, but as my passion for sustainability grew, I realized that my love for décor was contributing to landfill waste. That's when I discovered upcycling and found a way to nurture my decorating passion without contributing to waste. I loved the idea of taking something that was destined for the landfill and turning it into a piece of functional art. Every time I upcycled a piece of furniture, I felt like I was doing my part to reduce waste and help the environment. It was a way for me to merge my love of the planet with my passion for creativity.
Now, I upcycle furniture regularly and even started a small business selling upcycled furniture and art. It brings me so much joy to see the transformation of each piece and to know that I'm doing my part to reduce landfill waste. I hope that my love for upcycling furniture inspires others to do the same and to find their own unique ways to reduce waste and protect the environment.
