Helpful hint when using dark wax first use clear wax then dark. You can also erase or tone down when you feel its too dark. Either way it came out great!
Hello sweet friend! The last 2 DIY videos i watched they used antiquing wax on a piece, but before they out on the dark wax they used a clear wax first and the darker wax wasn't as dark & rubbed down easier. How cool that the couple are buried in Chattanooga! I only lived about 45min-an hour from Chatt. when i lived in Tennessee! Its so cool you could find out all that you did! Maybe I should try to find out more about the man whose things i got!🤷♀️ The only thing i know is that he was in the airforce in WWII and was from somewhere there in TN near where we lived & after he was out of the service he worked as a Deputy Sheriff& do have his badge! My husband found A box, like a mans jewelry box, when some of our recovery home guys did a house clean out, I'm thinking it was his just not sure where because we did thing ask around out county & nearby too. But this box haggard the letters & post cards, his badge, pocket watch, some badges from his war uniform, very old leather pouch with clippers & tweezers, also going the cup & brush for shaving, cuff links, some other things but i can't remember it all right now🥴 But I'm thinking we could find out more for sure! Lol lordt girlfriend we'd make a good team for sure!😂 The hygienist i used to work with used to be the same way & we used to say we were 'cracking cases'! We'd always go to each other to find out whatever we wanted to know, between the 2 of us we'd get it done!😄 My husband called me 'inspector Tammy' instead of inspector gadget!😂 Yes girl my mama always used Old English products! From the furniture to the hardwood floors! Our hides was built in the early 1950's or late 40's. I mean it looks mid century just looking at it! Reminds me of the houses on those old weekday programs like 'Leave It To Beaver'😄 But the front living room had hardwood floors, the skinnier planks & high gloss.. perfect for sock feet skating!😄 Mama always used Old English on them! And she used the furniture polish too, so did I when i got my own place. Girl the hutch looks so good, its beautiful!! The white shelf piece that was made with doors, i had some old shutters & someone was going to make a corner shelf for me but we moved before he got the chance.🫤 The art piece you had in the basket with the metal around the picture on the inside..i had several pieces pretty much it, along with other metal art. When we lived in the condo in NC before we moved TN, that was my decor style! Donna that breadbox kooks awesome! Looks like A while new piece! We have A roll top bread box that belonged to my FIL but its a real light colored wood & white inside. Girrrrl that rooster is gorgeous! Seriously..i don't do chickens, i don't even know I'd I own anything with chickens in it, probably do, but WOW! That almost makes me want to find a big one & try this!😄 I know it would never look like yours, it would probably look like one of those roosters that was in a fighting match..& lost!🤪 Well you were just the DIY queen today! Everything look gorgeous!😊 I t really enjoyed hanging out, thanks for sharing! Pray you have A blessed rest of the week.. see you soon!🙏🏻 love ya gf!❤
You're a natural detective! You would definitely make a great team with me, we'd solve every mystery! 😂. I love how well the old English worked on the hutch and bread box. It was like magic. ✨ As far as wax goes, I’ve used a couple other dark waxes that were so easy to use. This particular product is not for me. I prefer the Behr dark waxes. It’s like butter. 😉
First of all , love your Jammie’s as you work !! So fun to watch what you do ! Such fun !!! Oooo❤ the 💌 letters ! What a find !!! How precious 💕 thank you for sharing the story ! Lol the detective in you ! I’m a card and letter keeper… of my own that I have received … ❤ Your chicken turned out soooooo good ! Love the revamp ! Thanks for the Old English scratch cover tip ! Your piece looks sooo pretty ! Ooo the bread box … what a change ! Wowzer and yes you gave it love !!🤩🤩 Another fun time with you ! Thanks for the entertainment and conversation! God bless you Sweet friend!
What a flash back with the Old English! It does work and the cabinet looks brand new. I love how the rooster turned out. The bread box looks like it got a face lift...LOL Wish they made a body Old English to make me refine my youth...LOL🤣😂
My husband’s Aunt is the one who told me about the Old English scratch cover. I have the light and dark. The rooster looks kind of like concrete which I love! I think it turned out really pretty. ❤
Donna, The rooster turned out amazing! Dark wax can be challenging especially if it’s harder, some dark wax is more pliable. Old English is amazing and I use the Howard’s products as well they both work wonders. The breadbox looks like new. Your styling as always is Gorgeous. 💜💜💜
I remember when old English came out it was a miracle to be able to fix them scratches and polish all in one product. Iove how you use a wag that has already soaked with the old English on the bread box. Rooster looks fabulous as always when you flip. Great video 😊😊😊
I love the rooster 🐓 he is gorgeous . I think he is beautiful, I want him. Lol . The old English I also have. Before my hubby passed he would go to auction blocks. He bid on my Hutch, which looked a bit beat up. But I used the dark old English and what a difference. He said if they saw it now they would of up the price. I'm so thankful for it. It houses my Angel collection he gave me. I love it. Take care. Hugs to Buster, the sweetie pie. ❤
Love Old English have used for years! It has even concealed the gouges that my Beloved June Bug put in my nightstand! Love how the rooster turned out, gotta try your technique!
The rooster looks so good. The hutch is gonna be so pretty in the booth all styled up with goodies. I always used ole English polish, too, on my antique wash stand but I ran out and haven't gotten anymore. I need, too. It definitely works miracles. ❤😊
Absolutely love the way you did the rooster. When you were talking about the man with blood on his hands, I looked at my husband and said now see I’m not the only person who thinks that way, lol. Sounded just like me.
Hi Donna ❤The secretary turned out Fantastic with that Old English. I only buy the dark one. It's something how it reconditions and covers. The Rooster looks awesome. Great Job. I know you will happy to get your vehicle back. I can't like being stranded. 😂
Donna. I forgot all about old English as well. I used to have to use it when I had to wax all the furniture on Saturday mornings. Thanks for the great memory and reminding me of this great product. Have a great day. Hugs🌸
Good Morning Donna, oh how I wish I could’ve been in the car with you and James at that red light. Just to see James face and hear what he had to say about your detective thoughts.😂. We were never out of the Old English in our home when I was young. My mom used that a lot. Very good stuff. Love how the hutch turned out and the bread box looks totally different. Loved seeing little Buster.
Good morning! James just laughs and rolls his eyes at me. He says I’m taking notes by all the true crime things I watch and listen to..😂. It pays to be aware of your surroundings. 😉 Old English is a miracle worker on wood.
Loved the update on the couple in the letters. I do genealogy and it is rather the same...I love finding out things about my extended family. The rooster turned out really well. And yes, Old English was a staple in most homes when people actually dusted.lol
Now you have us all into these love letters. So sweet for sure. The Old English has been around for a very long time. My mom used it as well. It works wonders. I had forgotten about it to. Got some under the kitchen sink to this day. The chicken is priceless. Thanks for sharing.
I’m so invested in the letters too..🥰. I had forgotten how good the old English is. I use to have to use it all the time to polish our furniture. It’s a great product.😉
My mom and grandma also used Old English all the time. I remember them always cleaning their furniture and using that. Thank you so much for sharing today!
Rooster looks great. It definitely brought that bread box back to life. ❤️ I’ve got both, light and dark plus I got some other oils that specifically works with different woods too. Love them all. It’s amazing how much wood drys out and needs a drink too. 😅❤️
Good Morning on such a chilly day in the south. That old enlish sure is a game changer. I remember we used the dark one to dust with, back in the day. And i would get so aggravated cause it would get all in my fingers nails. Your rooster turned out so pretty. Try and stay warm. XOXO
Good morning!!! It does make the old stuff look new again! And I totally remember that it getting in my nails too..😂 I hated polishing the furniture but it was one of my regular chores. I’m so glad I remembered the old English. It’s an awesome product.
I love how the rooster turned out. I use Old English on all my wood furniture….it just brings it back to life, and I can hear the furniture just gulping it in. 😂 ❤
Wonderful video Donna - as always! My favorite part of my day is watching your videos first thing when I get up! Loved all of you flipped and thrift❣️😊
I love the rooster. You are so good at that. I’m trying to copy your technique, since I now have all the stuff. Your hutch looks so nice! I’m still watching the video and haven’t yet seen the breadbox everybody is talking about. For the table, consider green. Like a sage or spring green. Anyway, I’m loving this video! I hope you show us some more Buster!❤
First of all, just let me say, I loved this video I feel like you included us more and more, and I love about the letters please keep including us on the letters that is my kind of thing❤❤
Thanks for being a shining light! Here in Missouri we got a foot of snow over the weekend plus more is coming in on Friday.. The high for today is 18! Watching past videos helps me with cabin fever. You are a blessing to me!!!
Hey Donna, your mantel is beautiful. Love the rooster. I have done some of my roosters, too. Thanks for the tip!!!!! Love old English oil, too. I have an oringal bottle of oil. It still has some it. It's in my laundry room styled. Girlfriend, you have the best videos!!!! ❤
I've used old English furniture polish for a long time. Have old antique furniture and it covers stratches really well. It makes furniture look so good! It definitely gives you a workout. Have a great week!
I’ve used the Old English scratch cover for years. My mama always used it. It is really good stuff. The cabinet is beautiful and the bread box looks so much better. The rooster turned out great! We are so cold here in SW Va. We got 4 inches of snow Sunday and expecting around 6 inches on Friday. I want Spring!
Donna talking about the letters and the individuals that are in the letters, It is so intriguing to find out things about those situations but for me I am so thankful that you’re sharing them because in my heart I’m keeping it alive because it is so awesome to hear about people’s lives in love letters like that. It’s like a movie anyway thank you ! Haha my husband, and I do the same thing about being detectives. I am the detective I laugh all the time when I say something and I’ll go you think that that’s something and he’ll look at me and laugh and we both say probably not..😂😂. My neighborhood’s not safe either. I’m the detective here too.😊. I use the old English on my cabinets to freshen them up because I have wooden cabinets love it. It’s the best thing they ever made. I have it in the light in the dark.♥️. Donna, the chicken turned out, so pretty love it. When you were showing it, there’s one spot that looks like a lady reading a book. She’s got dark hair. I don’t know if I’m seeing things or not but I love how unique that is . The bread box turned out beautifully. God bless and have a wonderful Tuesday…..🍃♥️🍃
I knew y’all would love the letters and learning what I had found out. I definitely watch and listen to too much true crime but I love it. We have to be so aware these days so it helps me not be so naive. 😄
I love old English I use It and need to do my furniture I have alot of old dark furniture and its thirsty lol. Ive just finish yesterday packing up my Christmas . Love how your your Rooster turned out . Have a great day 😀 ❤
I am definitely going to get a bottle of that dark Old English Scratch Cover. I have a coffee table that needs it and a desk that was my grandfather's that HIS father made for him! It is super old...well over 100 years old. Your cabinet looks beautiful. Bread box looks brand new!
Hi Donna, the Old English made the china hutch and bread box look amazing. Loved how the rooster turned out and the way you styled it on the mantle. The love letter couple's story is very touching and it would be nice to find photos of the whole family. Have a blessed day.💞💞💞💞
Donna, everything looks wonderful! The rooster is now your style! I love the china cabinet except for that part on the very top of it. I would take that off as it is very dated. Just a suggestion. Old English is something my husband and I have used for years. It really is a miracle product. Isn't that life!! Things come and then fade away for a while and then come back again. You are doing such a great job with your booth. I totally admire your enthusiasm and work. Thank you for sharing!!🥰❤️
That roster turned out so great. You are gifted at doing that "teckneek"😆 That Old English is a miracle worker. It's almost unreal to believe how the scratches disappear. Ant that BREAD BOX . Oh my goodness!!! OOOOOOo I would love to have that hutch. It's lovely!! Can't believe you aren't keeping it. The shelves would look pretty in a sage green shade. Girls you killed it ALL today! Love you, sister-friend❤
Thank you! Y’all do bad…😂 I can’t keep everything. I already get comments that I have too much stuff…😂😂😂😂😂 It will find the perfect home. Love you sister friend! 🥰
Good morning Donna! Beautiful thrift flip on the rooster! The Old English worked wonders on the hutch and especially the bread box. They‘be been revived with new life. Old wood does dry out over time. Thank you for sharing! 💕
Good morning Kathy! Thank you! I had forgotten how amazing old English is. It was like magic seeing the bread box just come back to its original beauty. 🥰
As an author I had to laugh at you being a detective and Mr. Grumps being pulled into it. My writer brain started spinning for some cozy mysteries! Mysteries of the Southern Thrifter! Lol if it ever becomes a story, I’ll send you a copy! 😂❤
Hi Donna, rooster turned out great. I use Old English products at home all the time. I love the lemon oil for my kitchen cabinets. It makes all of my wooden pieces look new and moisturized. Thanks for sharing with us. Have a wonderful day. 🙏❤️🤗
Good morning Donna! ☕️ I love how the chicken turned out! Yes, that Old English is amazing. That’s what we always dusted Mama’s furniture with growing up. Her and Daddy bought their furniture the year I was born (1973) and it still looks brand new. She has taken such good care of it. I haven’t seen the dark wood polish though…. I’ll have to tell her about it, because all of her stuff is dark wood! That breadbox just blows my mind! It looks amazing! I can’t wait to see how you use the hutch in the booth!😊
Good morning!! That’s all we used when I was growing up. I had forgotten how amazing it is. The bread box blew my mind too..😄 I’m excited to get to work on the booth with the new hutch.🥰
The rooster 🐓 looks beautiful 😍,Yes l had to clean everything when l was young 😂and l still use it , a couple of months ago my husband and I bought a new bottle its a must in our home but l have never bought the dark one so l may try it 😊
WOW-this is your best mantelpiece decor yet…!!!!! I am never without Old English furniture polish-I use the dark and the lemon oil-I have been using this product since I was a child-learned about it from my grandmother many years ago. 💝💝💝🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Mr Rooster looks dapper. Wow! The old English scratch oil does a fantastic job! I am enjoying you reawakening the soldier and his wife’s life and love story. I love older folks because they not only have a wealth of knowledge, but they know how to enjoy life. We had a trip to Gettysburg which I love the history, but also to Lancaster Pennsylvania where the Amish folks live( love them).We took a tour on a small bus around the community with a group of older couples and they were a barrel of fun.
Love the rooster! I have a few mahogany pieces in my home and the old English polish is a game changer. When I bought my hutch it was pitiful looking and my husband thought I had lost my mind for actually paying for it. He went to bed and I worked for about an hour polishing it. He got up the next morning and when he saw it he said no way that is the same piece! I showed him my magic in a bottle and now he uses it all the time for any little scratch he sees.
Morning, Donna! Mr Rooster turned out beautiful. Your technique always works! I love Old English, too. I use it on my husband's grandmother's 100-year-old grandfather clock. It always looks fabulous. Your love letters are so interesting. It always makes me sad when I see old photos & letters at antique stores. 😢 Cant wait to see the new hutch decorated at your booth. Great video! Have a good one! 😊❤
My mom always used Old English and Liquid Gold in our home. These were staples! I use Old English and it really restores a beautiful and new look to furniture. The rooster turned out really beautiful and that bread box looks so shiny and the wood looks so healthy now!
Good Morning ☀️ hope all is well with y’all ! We are supposed to be getting snow and ice Thursday and Friday in Texas I know I am hoping our office is closed for those days. I really like the rooster, hutch, and breadbox that old English did an amazing job will have to get some. So neat about the love letters and the history of them. I have a post card from ww1 that belongs to my grandparents meets the world to me.
Good morning! We are experiencing freezing conditions here all week. Your piece of history is priceless. I wish I had the letters my granny and her husband wrote to each other. Stay warm! ♥️🥶
Items turned out very nice. I’d like to send you some snow ha. I did lots of shoveling on my driveway today. Stay warm. 😊🙏🇺🇸 Joke: what do you call a snowman with a six pack? Abdominal Snowman!
Donna, I have used the Old English scratch cover and oil for 45 years! It is GREAT for natural wood antique pieces. Our heat dries the woods out, so to "feed" the wood sometimes is a good idea and your antiques will thank You!
Loved the video. On the picture of the soldier of the letters, check obituary of him, there maybe a pictures. Hope so anyway just a thought. Thanks for sharing.
That hutch is so pretty I would almost keep it, and I would take the other one to your booth. Just saying, I would love looking at it more if I could see it every day in the corner of your dining room. Love your videos.
Hey Donna, loved all your thrift flips. I especially love your bread box. It looks amazing with the Old English. My Mama had a bread box just like that and watching your videos, seeing the bread box behind you, just takes me back to that precious time with her. Love watching all your videos and seeing how you style your thrift finds. Your home is beautiful ❤️ learning about the love letters is so interesting and so sweet ❤️ looking forward to your next video...Happy New Year!
Rooster and bread box look amazing ther is a metal can of wood restore that works great too lot of times you find it at antique places or you can order off of Amazon👍❣️
Love everything! What if you warmed the wax up a little bit? Would that make it easier? I have the same hutch, matching buffet and table and chairs. I love it! Have a great day.
Thank you! Not sure. Other dark wax brands I’ve used are not this hard and difficult. Others have also share the same experience with using this brand. My favorite to work with is Behr. It’s so easy and a great dark wax. 😉
My dad was in WWII Navy, Chief Petty Officer. He and my mother exchanged love letters. They had a code, how he started the letter Dearest Darling … words meant north are south of the equator. And how he ended the letter. Example Love you forever, on which body of water he was on. It didn’t pin point where he was but she had an idea of where he was. It is amazing to read those letters with all the blacked out words or cut out spaces the Navy had blocked due to possible giving location if the enemy.
I’ve used old English on my mom’s end table that matches nothing in my house but it’s odd and I love it. We have hubby’s granny’s secretary it doesn’t have glass doors but the top is the same as your China cabinet.
I do preventive maintenance on the rooms at the hotel I work at I use the same old English for dark wood on bathroom vanity it does work AMAZING I let it sit and then wipe the excess ; I love the china cabinet is so beautiful 😍
Helpful hint when using dark wax first use clear wax then dark. You can also erase or tone down when you feel its too dark. Either way it came out great!
Love, love the chin cabinet!
Thank you! ♥️
Love the mantal i love that old english too.
Thank you! I’m still trying to figure out the decor for it. 🥰
Good Morning sweet lady you are so talented i love the chicken and the hutch is Beautiful,Have a blessed day ❤

Thank you! I love how it turned out too! 😍. It does look more like a stone.
Loved the update on the couple in the letters. I do genealogy and it is rather the same...I love finding out things about my extended family. The rooster turned out really well. And yes, Old English was a staple in most homes when people actually dusted.lol
Thank you! I was never allowed to only “feather dust” the furniture. I had to actually polish it. I still do that in my own home too. ☺️
Love it all and always you styled it beautifully! I can't wait to see how your expanded booth looks. 🙂
Thank you so much! 🥰. I’ve got videos of the booth when I expanded it.
Now you have us all into these love letters. So sweet for sure. The Old English has been around for a very long time. My mom used it as well. It works wonders. I had forgotten about it to. Got some under the kitchen sink to this day. The chicken is priceless. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Donna 👋 I've used Old English for years on my furniture, yes it does wonders. 😊
It really is a miracle product! ✨
Good Morning on such a chilly day in the south. That old enlish sure is a game changer. I remember we used the dark one to dust with, back in the day. And i would get so aggravated cause it would get all in my fingers nails. Your rooster turned out so pretty. Try and stay warm. XOXO
Good morning!!! It does make the old stuff look new again! And I totally remember that it getting in my nails too..😂 I hated polishing the furniture but it was one of my regular chores. I’m so glad I remembered the old English. It’s an awesome product.
Thank you for the tips. I love your puppy. Have a great day. 😊
Thank you so much! I love him too. 🥰
I love how the rooster turned out. I use Old English on all my wood furniture….it just brings it back to life, and I can hear the furniture just gulping it in. 😂 ❤
It really does! I had forgotten how amazing this product is. 😉
Thank you! 🐓
Donna you are so talented. I love the way you style your treasures. I don’t have that gift so I will learn from you.❤️
Thank you! I love sharing my tips. 🥰
Wonderful video Donna - as always! My favorite part of my day is watching your videos first thing when I get up! Loved all of you flipped and thrift❣️😊
Awe, thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoy them.🥰
I love the rooster. You are so good at that. I’m trying to copy your technique, since I now have all the stuff. Your hutch looks so nice! I’m still watching the video and haven’t yet seen the breadbox everybody is talking about. For the table, consider green. Like a sage or spring green. Anyway, I’m loving this video! I hope you show us some more Buster!❤
Thank you! I think green would be a great color for the table too!🥰
First of all, just let me say, I loved this video I feel like you included us more and more, and I love about the letters please keep including us on the letters that is my kind of thing❤❤
Thank you so much! 🤗♥️
Thanks for being a shining light! Here in Missouri we got a foot of snow over the weekend plus more is coming in on Friday.. The high for today is 18! Watching past videos helps me with cabin fever. You are a blessing to me!!!
Awe, thank you! We are in the 20’s here in the south. I love it but most southerners disagree with me..😂
Stay warm. 🤗
19 here in southern Md. we have 13” on the ground and no school again tomorrow. More snow coming Saturday morning. Stay warm. 😊
Oh wow I have got to get some of that old English stuff, that was amazing. I love the hutch too. God bless
Thank you! It’s an amazing product! 🥰
Love the rooster, Old English is the best, love the hutch! I would have a hard time letting it go! Love your channel!!
I’m so glad you liked the rooster and the hutch! 🥰
Thank you!! ♥️
Hey Donna, your mantel is beautiful. Love the rooster. I have done some of my roosters, too. Thanks for the tip!!!!!
Love old English oil, too. I have an oringal bottle of oil. It still has some it. It's in my laundry room styled.
Girlfriend, you have the best videos!!!! ❤
Thank you so much! I really try to upload fun and inspiring videos. I love hanging out with y’all! 🥰
I've used old English furniture polish for a long time. Have old antique furniture and it covers stratches really well. It makes furniture look so good! It definitely gives you a workout. Have a great week!
I love old English furniture polish! It's a classic and works so well! I had forgotten all about it but I won’t again. It’s like a magic potion..😄
Thank you for the update! I am invested, too. LOL. Loved spending the day with you. ❤
Isn’t it funny how we get so invested?😄
Thank you for hanging out with me. 🤗
I have used old English for many years, I love it.
It’s amazing! 🥰
Good morning Donna, the flips looks great. Love them. Have a wonderful day my friend ❤️
Good morning to you too! 😊 Thank you! I hope you have an amazing day. ♥️
I’ve used the Old English scratch cover for years. My mama always used it. It is really good stuff. The cabinet is beautiful and the bread box looks so much better. The rooster turned out great! We are so cold here in SW Va. We got 4 inches of snow Sunday and expecting around 6 inches on Friday. I want Spring!
It's amazing how well old English works! ✨. We are having some frigid cold weather too. I’m enjoying it. We rarely get a good winter. 😄🥶♥️
Donna talking about the letters and the individuals that are in the letters, It is so intriguing to find out things about those situations but for me I am so thankful that you’re sharing them because in my heart I’m keeping it alive because it is so awesome to hear about people’s lives in love letters like that. It’s like a movie anyway thank you ! Haha my husband, and I do the same thing about being detectives. I am the detective I laugh all the time when I say something and I’ll go you think that that’s something and he’ll look at me and laugh and we both say probably not..😂😂. My neighborhood’s not safe either. I’m the detective here too.😊. I use the old English on my cabinets to freshen them up because I have wooden cabinets love it. It’s the best thing they ever made. I have it in the light in the dark.♥️. Donna, the chicken turned out, so pretty love it. When you were showing it, there’s one spot that looks like a lady reading a book. She’s got dark hair. I don’t know if I’m seeing things or not but I love how unique that is . The bread box turned out beautifully. God bless and have a wonderful Tuesday…..🍃♥️🍃
I knew y’all would love the letters and learning what I had found out. I definitely watch and listen to too much true crime but I love it. We have to be so aware these days so it helps me not be so naive. 😄
I love old English I use It and need to do my furniture I have alot of old dark furniture and its thirsty lol. Ive just finish yesterday packing up my Christmas . Love how your your Rooster turned out . Have a great day 😀 ❤
Thank you!! It’s a great product and the hutch I bought for the booth was enjoying the hydration.😄
I am definitely going to get a bottle of that dark Old English Scratch Cover. I have a coffee table that needs it and a desk that was my grandfather's that HIS father made for him! It is super old...well over 100 years old. Your cabinet looks beautiful. Bread box looks brand new!
I love the history behind your furniture! That's so awesome! 🥰. I think the old English will make it look amazing.
Rooster transformation fantastic!
Thank you! I love how it turned out! 🥰
Hi Donna! I like option 2. You had alot of great thrift finds.😊
Thank you! 🥰
The hutch and bread box look fantastic! Old English is a game changer. Love how your mantle looks. The chicken looks great!
I agree! Old English really makes a difference. 😉
Thank you!! 🥰
I have used the lid English on my antiques and it does work wonders! The chicken turned out beautifully❤
Thank you! ♥️
Hi Donna, the Old English made the china hutch and bread box look amazing. Loved how the rooster turned out and the way you styled it on the mantle. The love letter couple's story is very touching and it would be nice to find photos of the whole family. Have a blessed day.💞💞💞💞
I'm glad you liked the love letter story. I'll keep looking for more photos. I’d love to know what he looked like.
Thank you. 🥰
Donna you done a great job on that breadboard Really pretty God.Bless you sweetie VA. ♥️👑🙏➕️
Thank you so much! I love the way it turned out. 🥰
Donna, everything looks wonderful! The rooster is now your style! I love the china cabinet except for that part on the very top of it. I would take that off as it is very dated. Just a suggestion. Old English is something my husband and I have used for years. It really is a miracle product. Isn't that life!! Things come and then fade away for a while and then come back again. You are doing such a great job with your booth. I totally admire your enthusiasm and work. Thank you for sharing!!🥰❤️
Thank you so much! I actually love the top. I guess if someone doesn’t, they can remove it. To me it adds to the age of it. 🥰
I like the top, but everyone is not the same.
Loving the letters..I enjoyed this.❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much! 🥰
That roster turned out so great. You are gifted at doing that "teckneek"😆 That Old English is a miracle worker. It's almost unreal to believe how the scratches disappear. Ant that BREAD BOX . Oh my goodness!!! OOOOOOo I would love to have that hutch. It's lovely!! Can't believe you aren't keeping it. The shelves would look pretty in a sage green shade. Girls you killed it ALL today! Love you, sister-friend❤
Thank you! Y’all do bad…😂 I can’t keep everything. I already get comments that I have too much stuff…😂😂😂😂😂
It will find the perfect home.
Love you sister friend! 🥰
@@DelightfullySouthern I say, bah-humbug on those comments about too much stuff😝🤭😄
Good morning Donna! Beautiful thrift flip on the rooster! The Old English worked wonders on the hutch and especially the bread box. They‘be been revived with new life. Old wood does dry out over time. Thank you for sharing! 💕
Good morning Kathy! Thank you! I had forgotten how amazing old English is. It was like magic seeing the bread box just come back to its original beauty. 🥰
As an author I had to laugh at you being a detective and Mr. Grumps being pulled into it. My writer brain started spinning for some cozy mysteries! Mysteries of the Southern Thrifter! Lol if it ever becomes a story, I’ll send you a copy! 😂❤
I'd love to read it! 😄
Hi Donna, Old English is a miracle worker! Remember my mom having it as a kid and I will be 72 in June! 👍😍
It’s amazing! I had forgotten how good. 🥰
Once again you made everything beautiful. ❤️
Thank you so much! I love making things beautiful.🥰
I love Old English scratch remover and the polish. I've always used it....great results every time.
It really is a great product! ✨
Hi Donna, rooster turned out great. I use Old English products at home all the time. I love the lemon oil for my kitchen cabinets. It makes all of my wooden pieces look new and moisturized. Thanks for sharing with us. Have a wonderful day. 🙏❤️🤗
Thank you! It’s such an amazing product I had forgotten about. 🥰
Good morning Donna! ☕️ I love how the chicken turned out! Yes, that Old English is amazing. That’s what we always dusted Mama’s furniture with growing up. Her and Daddy bought their furniture the year I was born (1973) and it still looks brand new. She has taken such good care of it. I haven’t seen the dark wood polish though…. I’ll have to tell her about it, because all of her stuff is dark wood! That breadbox just blows my mind! It looks amazing! I can’t wait to see how you use the hutch in the booth!😊
Good morning!! That’s all we used when I was growing up. I had forgotten how amazing it is. The bread box blew my mind too..😄
I’m excited to get to work on the booth with the new hutch.🥰
The rooster 🐓 looks beautiful 😍,Yes l had to clean everything when l was young 😂and l still use it , a couple of months ago my husband and I bought a new bottle its a must in our home but l have never bought the dark one so l may try it 😊
I think you'd love the dark one too! I love it. ♥️
I too remember the old English,, will definitely loo 23:19 k for if. Buster is so cute, I love how he sits perfectly watching the road. To funny,,,
Thank you! He loves to ride. 🥰♥️🐾
WOW-this is your best mantelpiece decor yet…!!!!! I am never without Old English furniture polish-I use the dark and the lemon oil-I have been using this product since I was a child-learned about it from my grandmother many years ago. 💝💝💝🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you so much!! Old English is the best! I’m so glad to “rediscover” it. I definitely won’t be without it anymore. 😄
Donna,
I love how the Rooster came out, he looks so good. The bread box looks amazing. Thank you for sharing this fun video.
Thank you so much! I love how the rooster turned out too! 😉
Mr Rooster looks dapper. Wow! The old English scratch oil does a fantastic job! I am enjoying you reawakening the soldier and his wife’s life and love story. I love older folks because they not only have a wealth of knowledge, but they know how to enjoy life. We had a trip to Gettysburg which I love the history, but also to Lancaster Pennsylvania where the Amish folks live( love them).We took a tour on a small bus around the community with a group of older couples and they were a barrel of fun.
Thank you! It’s been fun learning about the soldier and his life. I’m definitely emotionally invested now.😄
Love to watch your DIY’s. Have you ever thought of getting a wood country style screen door for the kitchen back door?
Thank you! I have. Maybe one day..😉
Love the rooster! I have a few mahogany pieces in my home and the old English polish is a game changer. When I bought my hutch it was pitiful looking and my husband thought I had lost my mind for actually paying for it. He went to bed and I worked for about an hour polishing it. He got up the next morning and when he saw it he said no way that is the same piece! I showed him my magic in a bottle and now he uses it all the time for any little scratch he sees.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has a magic in a bottle. 😂 I had forgotten how amazing it is. 🥰
Morning, Donna! Mr Rooster turned out beautiful. Your technique always works! I love Old English, too. I use it on my husband's grandmother's 100-year-old grandfather clock. It always looks fabulous. Your love letters are so interesting. It always makes me sad when I see old photos & letters at antique stores. 😢 Cant wait to see the new hutch decorated at your booth. Great video! Have a good one! 😊❤
I'm so glad you liked the rooster! I always think of the history those old photos and letters hold.🥰
Thank you for hanging out with me. ♥️
Howard's restore finish is amazing also
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of it.
My mom always used Old English and Liquid Gold in our home. These were staples! I use Old English and it really restores a beautiful and new look to furniture. The rooster turned out really beautiful and that bread box looks so shiny and the wood looks so healthy now!
I had forgotten how amazing it was!!! I love it. 😉
Wow, going to have to use some Old English on my fireplace.Thank you
It’s amazing!! ☺️
Good Morning ☀️ hope all is well with y’all ! We are supposed to be getting snow and ice Thursday and Friday in Texas I know I am hoping our office is closed for those days. I really like the rooster, hutch, and breadbox that old English did an amazing job will have to get some. So neat about the love letters and the history of them. I have a post card from ww1 that belongs to my grandparents meets the world to me.
Good morning! We are experiencing freezing conditions here all week.
Your piece of history is priceless. I wish I had the letters my granny and her husband wrote to each other.
Stay warm! ♥️🥶
Suggestion on that sofa table before you paint pop that shell looking thing off the front
Oh I am. I don’t care for that at all.😂
Items turned out very nice. I’d like to send you some snow ha. I did lots of shoveling on my driveway today. Stay warm. 😊🙏🇺🇸
Joke: what do you call a snowman with a six pack?
Abdominal Snowman!
I’m so glad you liked the flip! Stay warm too! 😊. You always have the best jokes…😄☃️
@ 😂😊
Donna, I have used the Old English scratch cover and oil for 45 years! It is GREAT for natural wood antique pieces. Our heat dries the woods out, so to "feed" the wood sometimes is a good idea and your antiques will thank You!
Yes! It’s amazing! 🥰
Loved the video. On the picture of the soldier of the letters, check obituary of him, there maybe a pictures. Hope so anyway just a thought. Thanks for sharing.
I can’t even find his obituary. I’ve exhausted all my resources..😄
Send me his and any relatives names and I'll see what I can find. Also town or city information.
Thank You for the reminder about Old English the Hutch and Bread Box look so nice.
You are so welcome! It’s such a great product.😉
That hutch is so pretty I would almost keep it, and I would take the other one to your booth. Just saying, I would love looking at it more if I could see it every day in the corner of your dining room. Love your videos.
Thank you! I hope it finds a great new home. I love my hutch. I understand it’s not for everyone but I love it. 🥰
Love the rooster. Old English is a good product
Thank you! ♥️
Hey Donna, loved all your thrift flips. I especially love your bread box. It looks amazing with the Old English. My Mama had a bread box just like that and watching your videos, seeing the bread box behind you, just takes me back to that precious time with her. Love watching all your videos and seeing how you style your thrift finds. Your home is beautiful ❤️ learning about the love letters is so interesting and so sweet ❤️ looking forward to your next video...Happy New Year!
Thank you so much!! 🥰
I luv Old English. Bread box looked great. Your chicken turned out awesome. God Bless❤❤❤
Thank you! I love it too! 🥰
The thrift flips look awesome
Thank you! ♥️
Rooster and bread box look amazing ther is a metal can of wood restore that works great too lot of times you find it at antique places or you can order off of Amazon👍❣️
Thank you! 🥰
I ❤your videos... it's part of my morning with my coffee.
I’m so glad you enjoy them! 🥰
Love everything! What if you warmed the wax up a little bit? Would that make it easier? I have the same hutch, matching buffet and table and chairs. I love it! Have a great day.
Thank you! Not sure. Other dark wax brands I’ve used are not this hard and difficult. Others have also share the same experience with using this brand. My favorite to work with is Behr. It’s so easy and a great dark wax. 😉
My dad was in WWII Navy, Chief Petty Officer. He and my mother exchanged love letters. They had a code, how he started the letter Dearest Darling … words meant north are south of the equator. And how he ended the letter. Example Love you forever, on which body of water he was on. It didn’t pin point where he was but she had an idea of where he was. It is amazing to read those letters with all the blacked out words or cut out spaces the Navy had blocked due to possible giving location if the enemy.
Oh wow!! Yours are truly priceless. ♥️
I’ve used old English on my mom’s end table that matches nothing in my house but it’s odd and I love it.
We have hubby’s granny’s secretary it doesn’t have glass doors but the top is the same as your China cabinet.
It sounds like you have some awesome pieces in your home! 🥰
Oh wow i will have to get some of that for some of my wood stuff that needs a wake up
It’s amazing! 😉
I’m cracking up at the comment about the guy next to y’all in the car. That would be me because I have dateline going in the background all the time 😂
😂😂😂😂😂 I’m always listening to true crime…
I have my Mother and Father’s love letters, he wrote her from Korea being in the Korean War.
And I also found letters from grandparents. I love it.
Yours are priceless treasures.🥰
The rooster is beautiful, and going to get me me some of that oil.
It really makes such a difference! ✨
Thank you! 🐓
I do preventive maintenance on the rooms at the hotel I work at I use the same old English for dark wood on bathroom vanity it does work AMAZING I let it sit and then wipe the excess ; I love the china cabinet is so beautiful 😍
Thank you! It’s a great product for sure. 🥰 I do the same. Let it set then wipe off the excess.
