Meet Our Owner
Lisa Silfwerbrand
Lisa is the author behind the popular Recreated Designs blog about upcycling inexpensive (and most often free!) vintage, flea market, and dump centre finds. She and the Recreated Designs blog have been featured around the web, on TV, and in print, daily inspiring others to tap into their creativity while saving things from the global landfill.
As the recipient of a 2019 creativity award, Lisa teaches paint and art classes here at Recreated Designs and virtually and loves engaging with fellow creatives. She has also taught audiences worldwide through a series of regular shows geared towards upcycling and reuse for Hometalk TV.
When not blogging, teaching, or hanging out at the cottage, Lisa loves to travel… hunting high and low for amazing vintage pieces. She has filled her home with these rustic finds creating a space that reminds her of simpler times and her love of nature.

Michelle Muncaster
Michelle paints and upcycles items under the name “A Refreshing Change.” She loves to breathe new life into items that may have been forgotten or items that have cherished memories but no longer suite today’s décor styles. Michelle has been doing this all of her life but once she discovered Annie Sloan Chalk Paint about 10 years ago, she became even more passionate about upcycling. Her current focus is refinishing jewellery boxes as they provide an outlet to be very creative and to take things to the next level that people might be too afraid to use on larger pieces of furniture.
