Whatcha Working On?
BIG!NYC wants to know what you've been up to! So whether you've been planing antique joists for a piece of furniture, or refinishing salvaged kitchen cabinets for your home, we want to hear about it! Submit photos and one paragraph about your reuse/upcycled project with BIG!NYC materials and we just might feature it on our website, Facebook or in our newsletter! Send pictures and details to projects@bignyc.org.
