Habitat for Humanity Peterborough & Kawartha Region and Chemong Home Hardware Building Centre are excited to announce “The Big Flip” furniture flipping contest in honour of Earth Day on April 22, 2024. This Kawartha-wide event aims to promote sustainability by reimagining and reviving used furniture and to keep it out of the landfills.
The contest concept is simple: find a used piece of furniture (a great place to start is the Habitat for Humanity ReStores) take a before photo with it, document your process of “flipping” with one picture (flipping can involve, but is not limited to, painting, restoring, reupholstering), and take a picture of you and your finished piece together. Submissions can be entered at www.thebigflip.ca between April 1 and April 30, 2024.
There are two categories that will each have a winner: Designer’s Choice will be chosen by a team of esteemed experts. Owner of Birchview Design, Sonja Sanderson, and her team of interior designers will score entries by the following criteria: 40% creativity and originality, 30% usability, 30% transformation. The People’s Choice category will be chosen by online votes between May 1 – May 8, 2024 at www.thebigflip.ca.
Each prize consists of a Fusion Mineral Paint™ prize pack, a one-year membership to the Peterborough Tool Library, and a $500 gift card to Chemong Home Hardware Building Centre, a great place for people who like to DIY!
Location: Habitat for Humanity, 300 Milroy Dr., Peterborough, ON
