A DIY-LOVING woman has shared how she bought a furniture returns palette so that she could upcycle every single item inside to make it as good as new. 

Shayna, who is on TikTok as @shaynalnwick, began a social media series called the Palette Chronicles to show the impressive before and afters, as well as how she did it. 

In a video introducing the project, Shayna explained how she had invested £568 in the boxes so she could start working on them straight away - but had no idea what was inside until she unwrapped them.

She explained: “I bought two gigantic palettes of customer-returned furniture, and each day we’re going to unbox these boxes and see what’s inside.

Shayna then said of the 14 part project: “Then I’m going to flip it, so let’s get to it!” 

She then went through the boxes and found countless pieces of great furniture - from a metal side table that she transformed using a cool, retro pattern to an upholstered chair.

Other highlights in the haul included a flat pack furniture bedside table, which Shayna transformed into a stylish dark green piece.

She also took a half moon table that had smashed mirror pieces and completely changed its look. Once she removed all of the broken mirror, she sanded and spray painted it so that she ws left with a dark grey table that looked amazing.

Shayna also made herself - amongst other impressive creations - an all purpose stool, two-tier coffee table, a lampshade and a chevron coffee table.  

And her followers think she’s done an amazing job, describing her as “very talented” and saying they wish they could do as good a job.

However, now that exciting project is done and dusted, Shayna isn’t stopping there.

The DIY-lover who has two dogs called Bob and Bluebell, recently moved into a new home - and is hoping to give it a total transformation. 

She explained: “We’re on a mission to upcycle everything to furnish my new home.

She’s since shared numerous videos of the work she has done on additional furniture, ranging from chairs to chest of drawers.
