Sooo…about those Readers Digest books…the ones with the pretty covers. I’m a Junk Journal maker and we are always on the hunt for those to make journals out of. Please consider using the ones with plain covers (70’s - ‘80s) and not the pretty ones from the 60s.
Thanks for sharing :) I’ve had soooooo many of those books over the years and very few ever sell, I must have not found the junk journal market :) These were two I’ve had in my house for about 8 years now ☺️
I 4 got to mention I have a very similar table with one drawer but it's bubbled on top so now I can redo that piece and I hope it looks half as good as yours. Thanks 4 sharing
YEAH, i AM WITH YA ON THE TINS MADE INTO CANDLES. I have had quite a but of problems with tins holding wax... most aren;t made to hold liquid,,,, but i love some handmade candles....
Great upcycle ideas and had to share with my guy that one of my favorite artists/mentors/blogger/teacher and business owners sometimes uses her dining area/table as a convenient area for painting and creating.. my dinette area here is my temp studio as i am a newbie and love fmp.. my guy just rolls his eyes.. feeling validated here.. ! Thank you melanie for all you do,!
I recently discovered a Habitat for Humanity Restore in my area and am inspired to go junking this weekend! I love the candle in the tin! It brought back fond memories of my mom and gma!! Cute t-shirts! ❤
I so enjoyed this video and I'm happy to say I subscribed. Can't wait 4 better weather so I can go a picking too. I loved your transformation especially the readers digest books how pretty.
Love your ideas! Thank you for all the inspiration! I think it was awesome you decided to hand paint some items and get creative! When you were doing your tray, I immediately thought about the new Iron Orchid Designs Paint Inlays! The blue and white one they have out would of been so cool to try on your planter or tray. Thank you again for sharing your creativity with us and for all the inspiration!
I have to have one of those shirts! LOL - It will make my teenage granddaughter roll her eyes - we recently redid her bedroom and bathroom in a clean modern style because that's her retreat from my farmhouse decor everywhere else! Love that blue and white tray. All your projects are great creative inspiration.
beautiful soft home colors and love your hair . Totally love the ideas here yes! Always learn so much with your videos. Love them enjoy them on my nightshifts lol.
Hi Melanie. I loved the book! And the tray. Someone recently gave me a ginger jar lamp. I was going to paint it but if, as you say, ginger jars are making a comeback I’ll just clean it up and put it in my booth! Thanks for the tip!
Absolutely loved this video so much‼️ You should definitely do DIY videos more often, you have some really amazing ideas! Aside from the painting of furniture, which I do often enough now lol, I will be giving all of the other 5 projects a try with possibly adding my own twist 😁 My favorite had to be the books or the tray, however, I truly loved them all ❣️ Thank you so much for sharing with us and always being such a huge inspiration ❤️
Your hair looks great in this video. I love the way it flips out. Mine does that now. When it grew back after chemo, it came back a little curly and I think I’ll keep it this length so I can keep the flip. Anyway, the color looks good on you too.
Yes! Several seasonal styles, and a few more coming soon :) They’re called Redesign with Prima lostandfounddecor.shop/collections/redesign-prima-decor-transfers-buy-online
Hi first time watching you I really appreciated how you showed before and after ( many other show after so briefly that you barely see it) Second thank you for only showing what to do in few minutes not making us watch entire time of work Third you were nice to listen to without a lot of chit chat I have some serious health conditions and watching videos under 20 minutes are great Last when I can would like to try few of these Thanks

Hmm, ok, totally off the cuff I would say the little nightstand $99, the vase $10-ish, the candle $25-$30 ( I would love to have a whole line of vintage tin candles), the books $6-$8 each, tray $10, planter $7-8
@@LostFoundDecor thanks so much for the info. I learn so much from you on your channel and recently started a booth with two others and have had some difficulty in deciding what to charge.
Just another “canvas” for expressing creativity :) As I mentioned in another comment, I had those books for years just sitting around, it was time to do something new with them. Doesn’t have to be your thing though, we all have different tastes and styles. Thanks for watching!

thanks so much! I got a fun new hair tool last year for christmas, and it helps me get this style. Funny how our hair can change on us!
So what is the name of those transfers you used,?
Loved them all...I'm going to go look at the transfers. Any seasonal style
Yes! Several seasonal styles, and a few more coming soon :) They’re called Redesign with Prima lostandfounddecor.shop/collections/redesign-prima-decor-transfers-buy-online
I love your channel and all your tips and advise! Can you share where you get your shipping boxes if you are not shipping priority?
Amazon at times. Or U-Line. Sometimes Staples / Office Depot :)
Wonderful!
Many thanks!
Love this video! Great ideas 🙂

Pretty
Thanks!
Where do you get your transfers?
what is the difference between mineral paint and chalk paint ?
Does Fusion paint not require a top coat to seal it?
No, it does not :) It's acrylic and so is sealed without a topcoat
If you were to sell these in your store, what would you charge?
Which items?
Please list what you would price them each at, if you were to sell them.
@@LostFoundDecor All of them please?

I really don't understand this thing about painting books it absolutely does not make any sense to me whatsoever
