The Origins Of Ethos Upcycling

I started Ethos Upcycling early 2014 after reading articles about Chalk Paints, the durability of the paint and the way it looked appealed to me. The simplicity of being able to apply it with nothing more than a paint brush meant I decided to experiment myself.

One of the hardest parts about setting up my own business was choosing the name, eventually after a long hard think I settled on 'Ethos Upcycling'. 

'Ethos' is a Greek word meaning 'character' and 'Upcycling' is about the reuse of discarded objects or material in such a way as to create a product of higher quality than the original. This was perfect as my ideas and what I wanted to achieve with this business were summed up in these two words.

So here I am:

Ethos Upcycling -  Taking old, discarded or simply unloved items and bringing them back to life

I now have my own website www.ethosupcycling.weebly.com and regularly sell items via Ebay.
 
There is also social media for keeping fans and followers of Ethos Upcycling up to date with what’s happening in terms of new products, and ongoing projects, plus details of items for sale.
