Sarah Teresinksi: Upcycling for Stylish Home Decor
When Sarah Teresinski was a single mom, she couldn’t afford the beautiful little dresses she saw in stores for her daughter. So she decided to teach herself how to sew. That simple decision sparked a movement — and eventually, Redeux Style, where Sarah transforms old, unused items into something new and beautiful. Today, she helps people see the potential in what they already have or what they might find at the thrift stores — proving that sustainable can be stylish too.
Hear Sarah talk about:
How teaching herself to sew turned into a full-time creative business
What it was like to face criticism early on — and why it fueled her mission
The difference between fast fashion, fast furniture, and true sustainable style
Her viral ceiling fan upcycle that caught the attention of The Drew Barrymore Show and Architectural Digest
How small, beautiful changes can make a big impact — for your home and the planet

Sarah's friend Dan the Organizer Man
“If everybody that follows me across social media did one upcycle a year, that’s upwards of 60,000 lbs. I mean, that’s a lot. That’s like 5,600 garbage trucks saved out of a landfill.”
