    You certainly did not ruin the plates or tapestry. I absolutely love watching your videos. You have inspired me to make many of the projects you have done. Thank you.

  • @loyalistrose5727
    @loyalistrose5727 Před 22 dny +14

    You never cease to amaze me with your ability to turn trash into treasures. I loved the rusty vase and picture frame at the end the best.

  • @bobbipetty7411
    @bobbipetty7411 Před 22 dny +54

    I can't say you have ever ruined anything you've done. You take the ordinary and make it extraordinary.

  • @gloriaguzman729
    @gloriaguzman729 Před 22 dny +21

    I'm sorry Sherry,but I can't choose only one! Every single project is just amazing,and too much creative! I love all of them!

  • @nancysnell7428

    You didn’t ruin anything, you gave them new life. I love the rusty vase, definitely a winner.

  • @sonjafarnsworth6208
    @sonjafarnsworth6208 Před 22 dny +14

    The brass plates were undoubtedly mass produced, so no harm done. And the brass-framed bird pictures are absolutely beautiful!

  • @maryellenyork2819
    @maryellenyork2819 Před 22 dny +26

    I think I would have hot glued a wood round to the center of the brass plates, but the final look is quite stunning.

    • @CanterburyCottage

      Mary Ellen, I didn’t even think of that. Now, you’ve got me thinking about trying that!

    @margaretdillinger5090 Před 22 dny +28

  • @cherylparish1375
    @cherylparish1375 Před 22 dny +13

    I love the cashbox/Birdcage. It looks really vintage, so clever! But it's a tie between the little lamp and the rusted look vase! 😊 Thank you for inspiring us! Great video!

  • @kibibishaw1194

  • @cbb90945
    @cbb90945 Před 21 dnem

    I gasped when you cut the tapestry!!! I wish you wouldn't have but as long as you are happy! Love *almost* all of your ideas!

  • @juststoppingby390
    @juststoppingby390 Před 22 dny +4

    I don't know how you do it. Your unique ideas are incredible. You gave those brass plates a new life. Every house I know in the UK in the 70s had them. They were cheap and ugly even back then! Now they are charming and have brass frames. I'm officially obsessed with your channel. I would love to walk away from my house from a month and say do whatever feels good to you because I know my home would be lovely afterward

    • @CanterburyCottage
      @CanterburyCottage  Před 22 dny +1

      Oh, thank you! Everyone’s home in the U.S. in the ‘70’s also had them. My mom’s had fruit designs and hung in our kitchen.

  • @Elizabeth-arb22
    @Elizabeth-arb22 Před 22 dny

    I love the brass plates and what you did with them! My mother had some that were much the same, and I never liked them much. Now I wish I had kept them after she passed away so I could repurpose them like you did. I love everything you repurposed!! The Chinoiserie lamp that you created is absolutely adorable, and it's my favorite! Oh wait, the beautiful rusty vase with rusty roses and bird lid is my favorite too! You are one of the most wonderfully creative people I know (or know of). I'm so happy and enthusiastic when you post a new video. Thank you for all you share with us!❤

  • @karenyoung58

  • @chellepitts1990
    @chellepitts1990 Před 22 dny +1

    My mom had the same brass plates hanging in my childhood home in the 1950’s! Brought back memories…however, I cringed when you were pounding, but the final result is really pretty! I just love birds (way more than ships…haha) anyway! ❤ You never cease to amaze me.

  • @yukey2587
    @yukey2587 Před 22 dny

    I liked the 3 little imperfect squares. They are like 3 little urchins, needing a home. I bet they are happy on your wall!

  • @anniehamilton1709

  • @lauramccall5892

    My favorite is the candle box and the bird cage. They were all so clever and creative !

  • @kimkramer3859
    @kimkramer3859 Před 21 dnem

    You are brilliant and save so much from the landfill
    Don't every think twice about where your genius takes you even when it means cutting something up and giving it new life!

  • @katherineharper-sj4ys
    @katherineharper-sj4ys Před 22 dny +1

    I don’t think you ruined anything. All of these are really great. I just love your style and your unique sense of design. Can’t choose a favorite but the paint inlay frames and tapestry are very nice.

  • @ruthie6749
    @ruthie6749 Před 21 dnem +1

    Fantastic! I loved all your projects. And I found watching you create very relaxing. The tapestries were perfect!

  • @vintagelady1
    @vintagelady1 Před 21 dnem

    You did a great job re-imagining some ordinary pieces to make them special. The brass plates were so dated but turned out to be great frames for the bird pictures. I really like the bird cage/cash box & the candle box idea of being able to change the artwork. Good upcycling!

  • @conniegray3272
    @conniegray3272 Před 20 dny

    My favorite is the table pedestal base turned shelf with a hook! Very unique! 🏆

  • @charlenegoskowicz8220
    @charlenegoskowicz8220 Před 21 dnem

    I really like the plaque (last project). That is my favorite.
    Every one of these projects is a sure improvement over what those objects were in their former "lives." You did not mess up anything! You saved some outdated "stuff" from the landfill! My granny had some of those brass plates hanging in her breakfast area. Even then, she referred to them as "dust catchers." So much better with the tissue paper overlay!

  • @drcwaters2012
    @drcwaters2012 Před 22 dny

    I love the wood blocks with the partial IOD transfers. As BobRoss always said, " There are no mistakes, just happy accidents." 😊

  • @constanceblair6625
    @constanceblair6625 Před 20 dny +5

    No thrift store find was harmed in the making of this video😁Seriously, I believe all of these projects are perfect as usual and I'm inspired by your ideas.

  • @debrabell2604
    @debrabell2604 Před 22 dny

    I love them all as always but The resin vase with those moody flowers is gorgeous, oh my gosh 😮 I liked the way all the pictures turned out.

  • @abbyrock5684
    @abbyrock5684 Před 21 dnem

    My mother had those same brass plates back in the 1960s and I didn't like them, so, IMO, you improved them tremendously!
    Love every project!

  • @user-wg4vx1xf4v

    You have absolutely outdone yourself with these flips

  • @brenyule
    @brenyule Před 22 dny

    It’s hard to pick a favorite. The. Tapestry frames were gorgeous. Loved the birdhouse and planter too. So love these flips!❤.

  • @yzolakitchi
    @yzolakitchi Před 20 dny

    Nothing ruined with your wonderful skills :-) I love the birdcage, looks much more interesting and authentic with the metal box attached. The hidden phone charging box is brilliant. I've been trying to design something to disguise my router box for a few months now. Definitely more challenging than I thought, but you've given me the push to try and figure it out. Also, I'm so happy the little bird pics are still proving useful 🥰

  • @debbiefletcher4781
    @debbiefletcher4781 Před 22 dny

    You created lovely art out of items that weren’t being treasured any longer.

  • @Southeastgeorgiapeach
    @Southeastgeorgiapeach Před 22 dny

    Seems I always comment the same thing, but Sherry, you never disappoint your viewers with your creativity! I loved all the projects but my most favorite ones were the brass plates refurbish, the bird cage transformation and the resin vase turned rusty metal look. Thank you once again for your superb inspiration. Great job! Oops, I forgot to mention riser turned lamp! We are definitely on the same page loving blue and white chinoiserie!! I can’t get enough of it.

    • @CanterburyCottage
      @CanterburyCottage  Před 22 dny +1

      Thank you so much! When I first started collecting blue and white pieces (10 or 11 years ago) they were fairly easy to find in thrift stores (and cheap)! They are much more expensive to collect now.

  • @sherylcarter6242
    @sherylcarter6242 Před 21 dnem

    I also love chinoiserie! I love seeing "my" style shown instead of bland neutral stuff. Thanks for representing Sherry!

    All are very unique and pretty! The brass trays are perfect! And the hobby lobby frames are so cleverly redesigned!

  • @brendaholmes72
    @brendaholmes72 Před 21 dnem

    ok I can see why someone would think the brass plates or the tapesty were messed up. But these were headed to the landfill... You rescured them, up graded the look, and now someone else can enjoy the pieces!!! The frames you created for the tapesty were my favorite project,

  • @linsuemayland6719
    @linsuemayland6719 Před 21 dnem

    I always love watching your clever transformations. My favorite today is the resin vase. It looks just like a gorgeous antique vase with a lovely floral arrangement.❤

  • @vickinoeske1154
    @vickinoeske1154 Před 22 dny +2

    I don't know how you do it week after week, but you always come up with ingenious ideas. The small pieces of tapestry in the frames look great. And, I love the little lamp. I wondered what you were going to do with that.😊

  • @doublescorpions
    @doublescorpions Před 22 dny

    Sherri, I really like that you finish the back side of your picture frames. When you cover the cardboard with paper or fabric to reinsert into the frame, rather than folding over the bulk corners, try cutting the corner of the fabric on a diagonal just a little ways away (not too tight to the corner) from each corner. This way when you fold over the two perpendicular sides to glue down you end up with what looks like mitered edges at the corner. Hope this works for you! S.

  • @greatestever6738
    @greatestever6738 Před 22 dny

    Sherry, I love your videos, I watch them over over. My favorite was the bird cage. And you certainly ruined nothing.😊

  • @corinnetippit7983
    @corinnetippit7983 Před 22 dny +5

    After the huge garage cleanup I bet you found some handy items to incorporate with thrift finds. I really like dark wood with hook project.

    • @CanterburyCottage
      @CanterburyCottage  Před 22 dny +1

      Thank you, Corinne! Yes, I have a few more items that I need to make use of really soon that I’ve been storing in the garage.

  • @maryjokley7247
    @maryjokley7247 Před 21 dnem

    You didn’t ruin the tapestry especially since it was previously glued down. Love the results!

  • @deborahdavey1743
    @deborahdavey1743 Před 21 dnem

    I initially thought, when I first saw the plates, oh no. I think this was because my grandparents had very similar plates hanging on a wall. But when I saw what you had completed with them as well, I thought they were very beautiful well done for taking, the risk it was well worth it.
    The wood squares are not to my test, but the hook on the base of the table pedestal is beautiful. I believe the tapestry as a whole had had its day and you using it to make two pictures for your wall is a great idea.
    Everything you did today was beautiful and surprising as always. Thank you so much!!!!

  • @midgethorn4083
    @midgethorn4083 Před 22 dny

    The lamp turned out nicely. Everything did!

  • @pollyporter-campbell7493

    Well, with each project I'd think, "This is my favorite" them you'd do the next one. So I'd have to say they're all my favorite!

    Oh my goodness... The Resin Container ..loved the design on it. ..that is one of my favourites that you did, ( but, being me, lol.. I probably would have done a different paint finish, ) it looks really nice. The other favourite was the Lamp... I adore seeing Unique Lamps like that ..( not " junky ' what- in- the - w o r l d - were -they-thinking" Lamps, lol). This one looks sooooo pretty...it looks so lovely .
    I know your Community looks forward to seeing what Miss Sherry is up to on Mondays!

    This was an especially wonderful collection, Sherry, I loved them all! As a student of herbalism that little spoon rack absolutely charmed me; unsurprisingly someone has snapped it up, but I'm inspired to hunt one down and remake it in similar fashion. I got a lot of beautiful ideas from this post, thank you!

    • @CanterburyCottage
      @CanterburyCottage  Před 22 dny

      You are so welcome! I’m so glad you liked today’s projects. Since you are an herbalist, I think you need a much larger spoon rack anyway!

  • @katherinepereira9088
    @katherinepereira9088 Před 21 dnem

    Loved all of these. Favorite two (can you believe it? I actually narrowed it down to two) are the bird cage and the set of picture frames.
