Description: You are bidding on a upcycled shelf organizer with hooks. The shelf is solid wood painted in aubusson blue and old white chalk paint finished in wax. Names can be added with chalk marker on the hearts. This a great piece for a front entrance, kitchen or kids bedroom and more, as it offers great options to keep items more organized.

Zsooszh it Upcycling is my happy place, my creative time-out place. It is a culmination of many of my passions; art, creation, home décor, the environment, recycling, upcycling, old wood, the smell of hemp oil and picking cat fur out of fresh paint. I usually work with beautiful old solid wood. Underneath the zhooszh, you will often find original tags, dovetailed seams and historic hardware. I try to keep every piece original structurally – but always with a splash of colour – zhooszhing it up, but leaving enough of the original that the history is not lost. My work is unique, every piece different. I like to consult with my customers, too. I have a stock of unfinished pieces, but sometimes people have something they want me to Zhooszh Up for them. Together we can create personalized pieces that will reflect both my work and their personality and needs. I love what I do and whether I sell my pieces, or gift them or donate them to animal rescues - my other passion! - when a finished piece goes out the door, it is like a piece of me leaving. 

Notes: Pick up item in Barrhaven. No cash value. Please remember 100% of the funds go to helping Ottawa animals in need.
