    They are really beautiful. Another top of the line remake. You are the queen of giving new life to items that many would throw out. Love, love, love you make overs.❤❤❤

    This desk box was used as a telephone stand. My grandmother had a similar one. Thanks for sharing.

    I found your channel accidentally last night. I was watching crafting videos and fell asleep. When I woke up CZcams had your channel playing. My husband refinished furniture and I’d help him, but he had some kind of natural instinct as to what to use, which way to sand and had amazing patience with it. I have skills in other areas. Like I sew and if I mess up taking something apart to correct it isn’t earth shattering. I’ve really enjoyed watching you clean and revitalize these pieces. Each time you said, “writing desk,” I would think of the Mad Hatter saying , “why is a raven like a writing desk?” I live in the Potomac Highlands area of West Virginia. Apples are grown here commercially. I put apple decorations around my home. It’s not all apples all the time, but if I see something cute I will buy it.
    Your finished pieces are gorgeous. I’ve got a few pieces that I need/want to bring back to life. One is a little wash stand looking piece I found on the side of the road in Texas. It’s cute, but it’s mostly pressed wood aka compressed rat vomit and glue. I’m planning to do a crackle type finish on it. There’s a crack where the mirror section came off and crackle-tone can cover a multitude of sins. I’ve also got a gorgeous double rocker with a needlepoint upholstery and arms carved into swans. It needs to be restuffed, the swans are coming apart and it’s in dire need of having the wood refinished. As far as things no one wants; I rent a room and my roommate and I have been keeping an eye on a round dining table at Goodwill. The top was loose and it was diiiirrrty. On Sundays they have a tag color for $1.00. Last Sunday that table had a $1.00 tag. We got it home, cleaned it up, tightened the top and it’s been great. For anyone living in the Austin, TX area keep your eyes open for side of the road gems.

    Wow! The crackle on that sugar box was absolutely wonderful

    Love the last little cupboard- it’s my favorite! 🩵

  • @sincerelyme-777
    @sincerelyme-777 Před 3 měsíci +2

    Enjoy all of your projects! That little shelf with a cubby and box attached would be a wonderful side table for a small bedroom. It could be attached to the wall and there’s plenty of room for a phone, books, pen and glasses. Really love the look of that one especially.

  • @voodle48
    @voodle48 Před 4 měsíci +7

    Gorgeous every single one! I thought the writing desk piece would make a great charging station for lap tops tablets and phones.

  • @dennisyoung4496
    @dennisyoung4496 Před 3 měsíci

    Nice, I love how you redo the old craft wood and give it new life. I use to build custom cabinets and furniture, so I have a long love of beautiful wood.

      You are really a patina specialist! All three pieces are beautiful.

  • @Thatsinteresting363
    @Thatsinteresting363 Před 4 měsíci

    The second little blue box looks almost like it would have been hung on a wall holding a rotary phone. With a box for notepaper and pens and the lower cubby for a phone book (remember those?!”)…. It has such cute lines! ❤❤❤

  • @debrawalls1379
    @debrawalls1379 Před 4 měsíci

    1. Love, love, love this beautiful, amazing color! Don’t really care about extreme crackling-some crackling is good, but to each his or her own choice. 2. The color of the hinges and the green bottles you have staged on it. 3. Wow, wow, wow that color is exceptionally beautiful!!!

  • @annelane2966
    @annelane2966 Před 4 měsíci +1

    You are a magician!!! Good work. Yes, I would've either walked right by or thrown away. You definitely have an eye for what "could be".

  • @shellydehart8217
    @shellydehart8217 Před 4 měsíci

    Each piece turned out fantastic. I wonder if some people realize how much time n effort you put into a piece. I’ve come to realize your skills at making something over is a perfection you’ve conquered. To take something that looks like it will never live again, you make it over looking old n even new. There’s a lot of channels out there that do makeovers but as for me your #1.
    My favorite was the green box but I was a little leary of the blue one but after seeing it close up n adding the porcelain knobs it looked awesome.
    ♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍🌟

    @gailhannon5794 Před 4 měsíci

    I would have taken the ‘sugar’ bin home just because it was old…but, oh my goodness! Gorgeous!❤ The second I honestly would have left behind! But, that cast iron makes it beautiful!🎉 The strawberry cubby went from hideous to fabulous with that blue!😊 Love it all!❤

  • @tinagranados2018
    @tinagranados2018 Před 4 měsíci

    If we still used phones, the black piece would’ve been a perfect little place for a phone station with the phone on one side and notepad and an address book on the other. It is very very cute.

  • @huntalot3054
    @huntalot3054 Před 4 měsíci +2

    The little cabinet would be cute with little ball feet. Something to rise it up.

  • @NDbred
    @NDbred Před 4 měsíci

    I've never seen a portable telephone station before! I love the cast iron color & the fact that it can be used for other things since we no longer use those old, chunky dial phones.

  • @Thatsinteresting363
    @Thatsinteresting363 Před 4 měsíci

    The little sugar box looks like someone’s high school woodworking project or home project. I think it’s so adorable! I might have grabbed it if thrifting, but certainly not the other two……….at least not prior to having watched your video ….now everything is a possibility😁❤️❤️

  • @Blessedgirl1955
    @Blessedgirl1955 Před 4 měsíci +2

    I could never have imagined how pretty those were going to turn out but I would buy that sugar box in a heartbeat! You did an awesome job on all of them and surely they will sell.

  • @melaniebreuer6525
    @melaniebreuer6525 Před 4 měsíci

    I so enjoy seeing your transformation of using black and white on most things, which btw, i do still love, to using all the beautiful colors of paint and waxes available. I too have changed my decor over the years, adding in more color and textures, You are such an inspiration, and i am always excited to see a new video, on both your channels.

  • @rbirkheimer59
    @rbirkheimer59 Před 4 měsíci

    Those came out so,so good :) I like them all but I just love the remake of the apple piece. That color is really one you could never get tired of. The green crackle was amazing, I don't think I have ever seen one so crackled like that. Black was the perfect choice for the telephone cubby thing? They all turned out really great. So happy you gave them a new life. God Bless. Hugs, Rebekah

    @mimimd9652 Před 4 měsíci +3

    I loved how the sugar bin turned out, and I was shocked at how great the hinges looked when you put them back on!
    I was also surprised by how much I loved the 2 drawer box! I never give pressed wood pieces a second look, but with a great paint job and knobs, you made pressed wood boxes a hot ticket!
    Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas, Yvonne! I appreciate you.

    All are nice. The crazing on the sugar box is beautiful. Love how the milk paint naturally does that.

Beautiful job, every time! Now, as far as these items go, I wanted you to know that, on camera, I can still see the “sugar” and wondering if one of those beautiful decal that you place would cover that up? Just a thought. May the Lord continue to be your blessing! ❤️
