Rescued. Revived. Reimagined.
Sustainable furniture for homes with style.
I’m Monica, the founder of Second Nature, where I take forgotten furniture and transform it into custom, eco-conscious pieces that feel fresh and full of personality.
At Second Nature, this is what transformation looks like—beautiful, intentional, and worth every step. Up-cycling isn’t just sustainable, its stunning.
Furniture Saved from Landfills
Every piece you upcycle is one less item headed to the trash. In a city like NYC where tons of furniture gets dumped daily, that’s a big win.
Water-Based
I use only water-based products—they’re tough on wear, gentle on the environment, and safer to have around your family and pets.
Less Demand for Fast Furniture
By creating quality, long-lasting pieces, you're reducing the need for mass-produced, short-lived furniture that often ends up broken and discarded in just a few years.
Exceptional Coverage
Every piece gets a smooth, durable finish with exceptional coverage—no streaks, no shortcuts, just flawless color that lasts.
Upcycled. Custom. Sustainable. Made to last.
