Services
Vinton Street Upcycling offers the ability to show up for yourself, your family, and the planet with a wide array of services catered specifically to your needs. Our ability to customize creates a feeling of luxury while our ability to do much of the work in house with upcycled materials makes us more reasonably priced than big name companies. We’ll refresh and/or repurpose furniture, help enhance your event, or organize and assist in decorating your home. We can even tailor a class or workshop for your special occasion (see our Parties/Classes tab for more information).
Because we welcome personalization and we like to think there’s not much we can’t do, it’s difficult to create a menu of our services, but we are working on it! In the meantime, here’s a bit about what we have to offer.
Upcycled Furniture
Upcycling furniture is where it all began for us, and it remains one of our favorite projects. Whether you’re looking to give a facelift to a piece with good bones or transform a piece in both form and function, we can help.
We have refinished dressers and bookcases, turned discarded coffee tables into upholstered ottomans, and have even taken a stack of old books and reclaimed wood to create a one of a kind end table.
If you’ve got the furniture and need the inspiration, want us to be on the lookout for the perfect piece for a project, or need a custom piece created from upcycled materials, reach out! We’d love to work with you.

Home Organization/"Glow Ups"
Glow Ups at Vinton Street Upcycling provide organization services and decor refreshing on a small or large scale. Whether you’re looking to organize your pantry, update your teenager’s bedroom, or reimagine your bonus room, we can help.
Each customer’s goals are unique. We begin with learning more about your space, what you want to accomplish, and the amount you hope to spend. The next step is brainstorming ideas and choosing materials that provide the desired form and function within the parameters of the physical space and your budget. We even have a dedicated handyman who is able to assist with installing shelving, larger scale jobs, and special projects.
Our customer-centered approach and the fact that we are upcyclers at heart make us as good, if not better, than our bougie competitors.
Science confirms the benefits of a tidy environment that appeals to the senses. Contact us to get the ball rolling on your next project!

Events
When considering how to add a little oomph to your events, keep Vinton St. Upcycling in mind. We can help enhance the occasion in a variety of ways.
Bulk pricing on several of our retail items make them perfect for giving as favors/prizes. We’ll even customize the label with your business logo or a design customized to your event. We also create custom gift baskets, hotel welcome baskets, and other decor elements such as florals, centerpieces, and tablescapes. Maintaining good relationships with other local small businesses is important to us, so we are able to curate items, in addition to the ones we make, for events and gifts. Stop running yourself ragged; let us do the work. Want to add a gift card or a nice bottle to your custom gift? We’ll pick it up for you.

Customized Gifting
We believe that people genuinely value giving thoughtful, personalized gifts. We also believe that the demands of everyday life make this difficult to execute. That’s where Vinton Street Upcycling can help. With some basic information from you, we’ll curate/create a gift that aligns with the occasion, recipient(s), and your budget.
Why us? Not only do we craft lots of awesome gift items right here in our home (we’re famous for tossing in extras), but through our space at the Manchester Craft Market, we have regular, direct access to the goods of over 200 local makers. We even design, print, and cut labels, gift tags, and greeting cards for the ultimate in personalization.
Already know what you want? Whether it’s a gift card or a fancy bottle of bourbon, save yourself some time and let VSU do the running around for you.
Top notch service continues even after your custom gift is all wrapped up. We offer FREE local delivery, pick up, or we can ship to you or directly to the recipient(s).
The best part, you don’t need a champagne budget to be able to afford this type of service. We charge a flat rate of 20% and waive this fee if your gift only contains VSU items and doesn’t require additional shopping/travel/curation. Need multiples of the same gift? Bulk discounts are available. Contact us to learn more or get started.
Classes/Workshops
I spent nearly 18 years teaching public school, and I have always been a passionate learner and avid researcher. As a result, I put 100% into each class/workshop I create and teach. Passionate about yoga and trained in Vedic meditation, I try to incorporate an element of mindfulness in the content I create and love helping people show up for themselves and try something new.
Currently, I am offering classes at the Manchester Craft Market in the Mall of NH as well as on location (be it your home, office, or Airbnb).
We offer several different class options, including Unlocking Your Birth Chart, Potions Class, Bedroom Glow Up, and Cleaning House, and are always up for creating a new class/workshop to meet your specific needs.
One of the greatest honors of my life has been the ability to teach so many amazing humans. Extending that to include all of my passions feels right, and I hope to see you in class.
Parties
Allow Vinton Street Upcycling to crash your next party with onsite crafty classes/workshops. We customize an experience to match your desired budget, purpose, and duration.
Whether you are planning your tween/teen’s birthday bash, workplace team-building activity, or a girls’ weekend/bachelorette, we’re ready to help you make amazing memories.
We all deserve to celebrate in style, and VSU remains steadfast in our commitments as a local small business to offer customized, sustainable experiences while remaining fun and affordable.
