Pink Saturday - RePurposed or Upcycled?

Recently I came across what seemed like a new term to me: Upcycle.
Call me crazy but I had visions of an upside down unicycle!

What I gather is that it means to make something new out of another product or item. Like maybe making a park bench out of old tires.

So when I find great things and make them new again by using a can of
PINK spray paint...

Would that be upcycling?

Or recycling?

I guess I can just say I'm "repurposing."

Hope you enjoyed my pretty pinks. For more lovely shades of the same color... hop on over to Beverly's blog How Sweet the Sound!
