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

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

    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!

    I can't even tell you how long I've been watching your videos and I get so inspired by all the clever ideas you come up with. I think I've naturally melded with your style now, and family and friends are amazed at what I come up with (hint, hint, following your style most of the time!) I appreciate you so much and think that your artistry brings the utmost joy to what I try to accomplish to this day. Thank you so much for having the courage to create this wonderful channel. You are a great idol.

    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  6 місяців тому +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.

  • @ginacrusco234
    @ginacrusco234 6 місяців тому +4

    I liked all of your DIY projects today, but I liked the dried herbs rack just a little more. So I guess that’s my favorite. I see those wooden spoon displays all the time at the thrift stores but I never thought to make them over as you did! So creative! ❤

    @loisruthstrom8143 5 місяців тому

    I love how the little blue and white lamp turned out! I have been wanting to make a lamp like that from a small pot that I thrifted. I salvaged a brass vase base from a small, broken glass lamp, as well as the faux brass cap, which are the perfect size for the pot. After seeing yours, I think a chandelier socket would work well for my project, too. Thanks for the idea! 👍😀

    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!

    Too many good projects, Sherry, to choose just one favorite today. I absolutely love the resin vase turned vintage rusty vase. I'm a lamp lover - no idea why, but I have more lamps than I'll ever need. I never would have thought to make a lamp from the china riser. Very pretty. And no, you did not ruin the tapestry.😊

    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!❤

    I liked the frames with inlay and tapestry the best. Your videos are a cut above all others in your field. You really are creative, not just slapping on white paint and transfers. I think you inspire everyone so much we're all hitting the thrift stores to imitate you which is driving up prices and causing shortages.

    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 🥰
