funny was talking to someone kinda about this.. when i was decorating my little ones bedroom i had obtained some plain white photo frames.. spent a few quid in Hobbycraft and got creative.
Also bought some sticker tiles to place on top of the plain white ones in my bathroom to inject colour |

not strictly upcycling but we are having a christmas jumper off at work next month and have been looking for cheap jumpers online.
someone was selling one they made and thought.....'i could do that', well my sister could as she has a sewing machine. |

I did used to do this when first starting out in bedsits and crumby flats. It's amazing what a coat of paint can do to something second hand. 
I think I got lazy though and nowadays if I need something I just shop around for a bargain. I'm not wasteful though, I'll move things from room to room when get bored re-shuffle rather than dispose of |

I've been doing this with furniture for years.
It's amazing the difference a few coats of woodstain and a decent set of brass handles can make to a worse for wear chest of drawers hauled out of a skip. |
