Our Upcycled Life
Welcome! We are Deidre & Kirsten. The dynamic Mother-Daugher duo from Our Upcycled Life. Our lives revolve around upcycling. Thrifting, DIY’s and crafting are our jam. But we also love working together! And we think we make a pretty good team. Equal parts chaos, creation and cohesion - it’s always an adventure! Come behind the scenes with us where we chat about our upcycled adventures but also how our lives intertwine with our work. We navigate what it means to be a Mom, how we built our company, and perhaps some unsolicited advice. If you are a crafter, a Mom or an eldest daughter (I see you and your overambition...) then give us a listen!
