    My husband's parents owned an upholstery shop. They always used an electric bread knife to cut foam. I see them in the thrift shop fairly often. Might be worth a try. Keep up the lovely work!

    • @cincin9543
      @cincin9543 Před 8 měsíci +8

      I was going to say the same thing! I used an electric knife to cut foam to make positioning bolsters. It cuts through foam like soft butter!

    • @cherryvaleleatherock6900
      @cherryvaleleatherock6900 Před 8 měsíci +8

      Maybe an electric knife can be found while thrifting also😊

    • @janedrolet2807

      Yes, an electric carving knife works great.

      My husband does upholstery as a side job! That is what he uses! That chair and striped fabric were beautiful! My husband often uses a layer of fiber fill! It’s in a sheet! That gives the foam a soft look! It’s just our preference to do it that way! Your cushion looks grew and I love it all! The chair is so beautiful and I love the white pillow you added! Great job!

    The barn wood slats and shelf look absolutely wonderful on the beverage cart. Inspiring as always, Mary!

    • @homethatilove4595
      @homethatilove4595 Před 8 měsíci +2

      That idea of slats is Brilliant!! Totally surprised me 😀

  • @dianastigberg9751
    @dianastigberg9751 Před 8 měsíci +35

    I have covered cushions in the same way but duck taped the back to help keep it in place. When you want to change, it just comes right off and doesn’t hurt the cushion or materiel. I learned this from decorator Christofer Lowell years ago. 😊

  • @patriciakumar115
    @patriciakumar115 Před 8 měsíci +48

    Mary, you're one of my favorite artists on CZcams. Love, love, love all of your creations. You are much appreciated!

  • @vickytimmerman1365
    @vickytimmerman1365 Před 8 měsíci +1

    Mary, remember next time you're in the thrift store go to the kitchen tools and find your electric knife for cutting foam. You'll love it cuts like butter.

  • @deekeene4273

    @Earthy-Artist Před 8 měsíci +30

    The cart was truly a trash to treasure! With your wood working skills just about anything can be saved. We saved a wicker loveseat from someone's trash at the curb & now it's on our front porch. I would have bought the mirror too.

  • @poodlegirl55
    @poodlegirl55 Před 8 měsíci +92

    "How would someone know I would like this striped fabric" says Mary wearing her striped shirt? Lol😊 Mary we know you....and your striped skirt too.

  • @elizabethstrong1780
    @elizabethstrong1780 Před 8 měsíci +18

    I absolutely love all your finds today. It was wonderful to see that brief look at your mother. I do have to say the mug set was my favorite.

  • @karenkeltner2014
    @karenkeltner2014 Před 8 měsíci +12

    Mary, I own two of those exact wicker chairs! I purchased them at least 45 years ago and was told by the elderly owner that they had been in her family since the early 1900s! Next time we re-paint them, I’ll use a pressure washer to remove the excess paint. Thanks for that information! Love your videos!

  • @debbied3116
    @debbied3116 Před 8 měsíci +14

  • @kaytiej8311
    @kaytiej8311 Před 8 měsíci +11

    I am always impressed at your ability to have a vision for each piece, subtracting and adding as needed, seeing beyond the initial surface and use. Very pleasing to watch and enjoy the end result.

  • @creativelady7
    @creativelady7 Před 8 měsíci +13

    Suggestion, Mary. I've temporary wrap covered foam cushions with fabric several times, and I use some duct tape on back to temporarily secure it. Works great, and comes off just fine! I also found that wrapping the foam with a thin white batting helps the fabric look better, more cushy, less stiff, and foam color won't show through. Love your chair and cushion!💚🤍💚

  • @phyllisthomas9579
    @phyllisthomas9579 Před 8 měsíci +11

    Mary, I use an electric handheld meat cutter that I thrifted to cut foam. Easy peasy 😊

    Wow I love that cart, what an upgrade! My daughter has one of those in her pantry that she keeps her potatoes and vegetables in, it has wire baskets. Someone must have donated the cart and kept all the baskets.

  • @debbulgrin589
    @debbulgrin589 Před 8 měsíci +7

    love the wicker chair! Keep in mind that an old electric knife works great on cutting foam. YOu can usually pick one up at goodwill for a few dollars. great video!

  • @linsellinsell6976
    @linsellinsell6976 Před 8 měsíci

    I've been following you for several months now, I really like almost everything you transform. Today you were unique in your summer clothes - you also transformed beautifully, I couldn't take my eyes off your transformation. In the spring, we both planted so-called frozen strawberry seedlings. How are you did they grow and bear fruit? Just a little for me, but now they have grown. I wish you a lot of joy from your sons, a still pleasant husband and a healthy mother.Dear Ms. Mary thank you very much for the inspiration to keep even old and worn things.

    @tifanimoore5416 Před 8 měsíci +6

    Hi Mary. I love all your projects. An electric kitchen knife will cut right through any foam you need for future projects. You can probably find one at one of the thrift stores. Thank you for all your inspiring work!

    I was skeptical when I saw the bar cart at first, but was amazed once it was done. You sure have an eye Mary. The dress looks adorable on you. Glad you had a nice mother daughter day. Love your CZcams channel.

    The note board was absolutely perfect, can’t wait to try those water transfers!! Also you made the cushion simple and easy for the wicker chair❤. Thank you again and again for giving all of us your talented gift of designing old and used to new and gorgeous!

  • @deanadailey7197
    @deanadailey7197 Před 8 měsíci +4

  • @cindyhester9823
    @cindyhester9823 Před 8 měsíci +4

    Could you have put a couple of the original pieces you knocked off under the top shelf (since you left the other two for braces) and made a space to slide stemmed glasses through? That might be pretty as well. Such beautiful work!

  • @user-ix1sf9wm8k

    • @Earthy-Artist
      @Earthy-Artist Před 8 měsíci

      I was going to suggest that too, electric knife the kind used to carve a turkey at Thanksgiving. I tried it out & it works, use with caution of course.

  • @yiayia100
    @yiayia100 Před 8 měsíci +4

    Great ideas Mary! I had wished you would have gotten that fireside basket. I have one and have plans to paint it but hoping to see how yours turned out and your uses. I had a wicker rocker for approximately 40 years, the last 20 on my covered front porch. It finally disintegrated that wasn’t safe to sit in but how I enjoyed that chair!
    Have a great rest of the week🍁🌻🍂

    Mary all of your projects came out so beautiful. Our Goodwill has raised their prices so high you don’t feel like you are thrifting any more. I was excited to find a beautiful old linen table cloth on a half price day for $1.50. Great bargain. Love all your videos. 💕💕💕💕

  • @lynn4834
    @lynn4834 Před 8 měsíci +3

    That table will probably come in very handy. Smart idea.

    @LaLadybug2011 Před 6 měsíci

    Just commenting because I know it helps your channel Mary-others have already said that electric carving knives are fantastic for cutting cushion foam. If you can't find one, a new big serrated bread knife works well also. I also cover raw foam with a layer of cotton quilt batting before putting on the fabric. It helps round over and sharp edges of the foam a little-a professional upholsterer taught me that. Everything was beautiful today as always, but i think the beverage cart was my very favorite. Blessings to you and your family Mary!

  • @dorothylehman4164

Great Grandma that watches you all the time. Keep up the good work. I love what you do I wish I could come out to see you sometime but I don't think I'll ever be able to make it with my health.
