About Me:
Hi, I'm Cristin Frank, In 2009, I founded The Eve of Reduction, a lifestyle movement encompassing consumption control, simple living and upcycling. My message is clear. "Use your talents and creativity to find personal satisfaction. I will be presenting at the Buffalo Home Show in March on the subject of furniture upcycling. This presentation will also introduce my new book, Living Simple, Free & Happy, which is launching nationally that month. Eve of Reduction's platform continues to attract media attention. My story and projects have been featured in Money Magazine, FamilyFun Magazine, NPR Marketplace Money, CNNMoney.com, HGTV.com, eHow and Apartment Therapy.
Favorite area of home improvement:
I love furniture upcycling, and the challenge of making something useful and beautiful from what is otherwise trash or clutter.
