Nik, I never tire of watching you create "real" stuff out of nonstuff! Isn't it great to be able to blur the craft lines and just plain create!? Well done!
That. Looks. AMAZING!!! The texture on the paintings, the transformation of the clock and Poe. Never mind that it's a flipping fireplace, too! Seriously. You've outdone yourself.
you're amazing - there is nothing else to say lol - the entire video was wonderful to watch - and the beginning with those gorgeous cats - oh my goodness - we rescued 4 kittens and they will be 5 months old in 2 weeks - they are such a blessing - but Nik everything you did is just wonderful - thank you xx
WOW!!! Unbelievable stunning and breathtaking!!!! and of course A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! Can't believe what you did to Poe!!! He looks so heavy and the real thing. Love the fireplace and thanks for the idea of how to decorate my mantel!! What an inspiring video, I wanted to watch more!!!
HOLY COZY CORNER BATMAN!! This is AWESOME Nik!!! Your talent is boundless! Funny story...my adult son saw an electronic fireplace I had in a new apartment. I said, "It looks pretty real, doesn't it?" He said "Yeah! If you've never seen a real fire." Now I think of that every time I see an electronic fireplace. 😄 I love that yours even has the sound effects! Absolutely LOVE the decor pieces!! Seriously Nik, you're so talented!! Congrats on a job well done!
WHOAH! I AM BLOWN AWAY! How damned extraordinary is that! BRAVO, my friend! How awesome it must be to have that in your craft room! I totally dig it! TFS! Lil hugs xo
Oh Wow, Nik! I LOVE this! The Poe bust is looking 100 times better, I love the moth, and I especially love the nest cloche! You're so talented! Hugs from Belgium!
I love the entire series of projects. They look awesome. You have definitely made a wonderful statement corner and warmed up you workspace. As for living and learning and relearning, well…..I got you on that one ! I sooooo resemble that scenario.
And the Booksmith strikes again! Knocked it out the park on every piece Nik. I enjoyed the transformations immensely. I love seeing something old, discarded, or otherwise tossed, turned into something amazing and useful! Thanks for sharing! What's next? Can't wait! Take care. xx
Absolutely fabulous darling! I love that Halloween decor is just home decor! The bronzing of Mr.Poe 🖤! I was on the fence about getting him this year, because I really didn't like the paint job, never thought to repaint 🤦 I guess its one of those live and learn things I have no problem repainting a thrifted item don't know why I never thought to repaint something new. As always, everything looks wonderful and I'm totally going to try some these ideas out! Thanks for taking us along for the ride!
Oh, Nik! Your previous commenters have used all the words! Couldn't agree more with every one. Thanks for sharing your beautiful cats. Would love to see more of them. Fran
I would never have imagined it to be possible to thrift and decorate the way you have... The Edgar Allan Poe bust statue... So simple and yet something that never struck me! For the painting - I've recently moved to getting printed canvases or even trying to print on canvas sheets attached to thick paper in my inkjet printer. You could explore that for a future project :)
Nik: I’m most impressed with your crafting ability. As a professional designer, I’ve seen a lot of things and I can tell you,- your’s was an amazing job you did. Really some great ideas. Carol from California
I knew you were a freaking genius but wow. I've learned so much from you on my book binding journey and then here you are turning this masterpiece out. Love it, 10/10, Poe bust = chef's kiss. Death moth box ❤
Your attention to detail never ever ceases to amaze me. Great work young lady. I am in total awe of your creativity. I am always mesmerized watching these videos come to life. I pray that you are doing well young lady ❤️. Take care and God bless you and yours. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas
Very fun. I too made a fireplace out of a bookcase with recycled stuff. Mine is free standing so I can take it where I move. My rock salt lamp is the flame and I have a copper plate to reflect light. Enjoyed your projects!
Why does this not surprise me?? 😄A salt lamp is genius! And doubles as a great nightlight, too, I bet. This one is free-standing, as well. But, its kinda heavy and would take 2 people to move it. Good to "see" ya!
Hi Nik, you are amazing, but I have to say I love the portrait of that lady so beautiful. I really love how all of it came together. We have to have a vision for sure.
WOW!...you are amazing!...so much talent...love the way the fireplace insert turned out...way to go!!!the pictures ...bust and cloche turned out wonderful...as well...keep up the great works...I love watching you work your way through a project...wonderful ideas...
Thank you so much for uploading this! That fireplace is so beautiful and I never would have thought to build one with a heater insert. Amazing! Thank you for inspiring me
You are so inspiring Nik. I don't have an electric fireplace, but thought a tv screen playing a burning fire might work under my faux mantle. Maybe I'll finish by Christmas. Thanks Nik 🌻
WOW! Love love love this!!! And yeah - lupus brain fog makes me forget a lot of things and have to constantly relearn if it isn’t something I do often.
Absolutely fantastic video. I loved all of the projects and picked up some ideas to use in my life. Fascinating to watch you transform thrift shop finds into wonderful works of art.
You have got to be kidding me!!! You are insanely talented and this was just amazing to watch. It's all so incredible!!
Nik, I never tire of watching you create "real" stuff out of nonstuff! Isn't it great to be able to blur the craft lines and just plain create!?
Well done!
That. Looks. AMAZING!!! The texture on the paintings, the transformation of the clock and Poe. Never mind that it's a flipping fireplace, too! Seriously. You've outdone yourself.
WOW!!! I’m speechless at what you’ve done with mostly thrifted finds! Absolutely amazing. 🤩
you're amazing - there is nothing else to say lol - the entire video was wonderful to watch - and the beginning with those gorgeous cats - oh my goodness - we rescued 4 kittens and they will be 5 months old in 2 weeks - they are such a blessing - but Nik everything you did is just wonderful - thank you xx
I admire you so much for having a vision and following through on it...however long it takes.
Looks so amazing! A life size version of one of your miniatures!
WOW!!! Unbelievable stunning and breathtaking!!!! and of course A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! Can't believe what you did to Poe!!! He looks so heavy and the real thing. Love the fireplace and thanks for the idea of how to decorate my mantel!! What an inspiring video, I wanted to watch more!!!
Extraordinary. I love everything you do, so I’m not *surprised* this grouping came together so amazingly. Absolutely stunning. 💚

Amazing transformations! Thanks for taking us along!
You are SO handy! Your new fireplace mantle is gorgeous!
