Local DIY Master Gets Inspiration at ReStore

ReStore is excited to announce our fall upcycle challenge: the Fall Flip Contest! We want you to share your best autumn or Halloween DIY project featuring ReStore items. Here are the basics:
Visit a ReStore location to shop for the perfect piece to transform. You can also shop for the materials to update an item you already own. Think creatively!
Do your thing! Upcycle your ReStore item or materials by giving it a boo-tiful (or spooky) new look. You can reupholster a chair or refinish a table, or create your own scarecrow or other ghostly décor.
Use the form on the contest page to share before-and-after photos of your DIY trick or treat. We also invite you to share a few sentences about your project. (Limit one entry per person.)
The first 20 entries will receive a coupon for $10 off at ReStore.
The top three winners will receive Visa gift cards (first place: $100, second place: $50, third place: $25).
If you want to upcycle but don't know what to start, view the unbe-leaf-able entries from our Spring Upcycle Challenge for DIY inspiration. These crafty submissions include everything from reupholstering furniture to transforming a hutch into a plant stand!
You can also check out some easy DIY Halloween décor ideas while you're at it! For example, use cupboard doors from ReStore to create festive signs or creepy headstones for your yard.
Whatever you're working on this fall, we want to see it!
Use the hashtag #ReStoreFallFlip22 when posting your progress on social media!
