    I’m not a ‘yellow’ person…. but that bench is totally beautiful. Love how you preserved the layers of its history but still made it ‘yours’.

    Looks like the top of a captains chair from the 1700-1800's worth $500-$1800. Dang people have no idea what they're throwing away. Love your ideas.

    I love your little bench. I also love yellow and blue, in a combination of colors. I think a blue and yellow bathroom would be gorgeous. But that bench would be so cute, in that bathroom. You inspire me so much. Thank you.

      Some dumps allow it. I think that varies by where youre at. Most , sadly ,do not. But there is a place near my home where folks take metal, and they basically just wont say anything. Dont think its supposed tobe allowed but they just turn their head, lol. My husband had a friend who worked the back of the trash truck and omg, you wouldnt believe the things he ran across. From furniture, to jewelry, to perfectly working appliances , to money. Yes, actual money in the trash. I dont think folks pay enough attention when they throw stuff away.

      Our town and many others nearby have what’s called “Take it or leave it” structure/space at the recycling center. I was there one day and a lady was dropping off two perfectly good large tomato planters with the trellises and I grabbed them before someone else could.

    @irinadalah9089 2 роки тому

    the cabinet was not only dusty and grimy. it was also badly thought: the door is at least 10 inches narrower than the inner space. it makes for a really complicated usage. the door though, was amazing! I love this kind of shutter type doors for cupboards!!
    as for the pegboard? I always felt your smashed planters are begging to go on one 🤪
    and yes, you totally inspired me, as always!! I'm decoupaging my coffee table which is not only real, hard, chuncky wood, is also made with a lot of metal bits, in a medieval style! the only weathered aspect is the paint marks the kids made on it when they were todlers (and didn't keep the plastic cover on when they painted on it, 'cause "sorry mom, it's just too beautiful to cover it up!")
    again, thanks for sharing!

    Loved them all especially the cans & bench!!! Myself I would have to have a shabby chic pillow top for bench seat made from worn out old & faded pretty flowered material. Also the lampshade, I would have never thought to mod podge that!! I would have used my gorilla glue spray adhesive but it worked for you!!!

    HOLY INSPIRATION BATMAN!!!
    You just started my new year with an upscale that solves 2 problems I have.
    The cane backed chairs in horrible shape, so very doubtful of selling them.
    And my need for peg board in my newly created craft room!
    I'm so happy right now I can barely sit still to even send this text.
    Loving, subbing, and obsessed with this channel. 😍 Thanx

    FYI: You can use an alcohol swab, or a cotton ball soaked in rubbing alcohol to remove the print from your freezer/sandwich bags. That enables you to recycle a used bag for your crafts. Permanent marker can also be removed this way. Love your videos!
