Скачать или смотреть Upcycled Dining Room Sideboard Start to Finish with Japandi & Mid-Century Modern Style

In today’s video, I’m sharing our sideboard cabinet makeover.
This white sideboard is part of a sustainable furniture upcycling project inspired by Japanese aesthetics, wabi sabi, and Japandi interior design.

Made from particle board and MDF, this piece embraces modern materials while reimagining them through authentic, hands-on craftsmanship. Influenced by mid century modern, modern rustic, and minimal design principles, it is created to live quietly in a dining room as a cabinet or buffet — calm, functional, and timeless.

Creating upcycled furniture like this is deeply connected to well-being for me: slowing down, working intentionally, and finding beauty in imperfection rather than perfection.

This video focuses on texture, sound, and process, allowing materials and movement to speak through a quiet, minimal making approach.

I’m still learning as I go, so you’ll see the mistakes too.
Let’s grow and learn together.
We hope you enjoy following along with our Japandi-style renovation journey in the UK.
