About Upcycled & Hand-Painted Home Accents
I don't just paint these items, I prep them for real-life use. Every jar, coaster, and clay kulhad gets multiple coats of high-grade waterproof varnish. This means you can actually wipe them down or use them as functional decor, rather than just keeping them on a shelf.
It starts with a simple question: why throw it away? My upcycling process turns discarded glass jars, kulhads (clay cups), and bottle caps into functional, vibrant decor. Whether it is a nazar (evil eye) trinket dish or a festive lantern, every piece is hand-painted with acrylics and sealed to resist moisture.
I focus on bringing Indian traditions into modern, conscious living. If you have an empty bottle that looks too pretty to trash, I can transform it into a vase or a festive accent piece. For those looking for gifts, I offer wood slice coasters and personalized decor that feel grounded and real, not mass-produced.
Each piece is original, signed, and treated with varnish to ensure the art holds up to daily handling. If you have a specific theme or an old item you want to give a new life, send me a message and we can work on it together.
