    Hi Cory! I loved the way you repaired the lamp. 👍 The pattern enhanced the style of the lamp, and the contrast of light and dark in the paper really showed well when the light was on. You are knocking it out of the park with each new video. I can’t believe how you transformed the bookcase! 😯 The decor was summer camp/summer country to me. It has a fun, lighthearted feel to it. Lastly, you are looking great with the weight loss! Way to go! 👏😊❤🙏

    So great to see what you put together and how you transform old pieces to give them a new life. Love that lamp. It reminds me of a childhood wall lamp that I had as a child - all metal too. Though deep pink in colour. It now lives in a little alcove bed with bougainvillaea coloured walls.

    What a nice change for the shelf unit Cory!! Everything goes nicely together!! I was never a fan of the darker side of the 70's !! I liked the lighter colors and steered away from the fall colors! It was in the 70's that I really fell in love with wicker when I visited older relative's homes! My great aunts had lots of wicker and treasures that their father a sea captain had brought back! Yes everything was dark wood but the pretty floral patterns on the china, vases, glassware and stitched cushions really stuck with me! The light and airy summer curtains blowing in the breeze, beautiful bouquets of flowers and the gorgeous quilts at the foot of the beds in case it got chilly at night are lovely memories I treasure!!

    I think everything looks great.The shelf cabinet is perfect with the crackle finish. I love the lamp and the plates are beautiful as are the books. It all ties in really well together it is my favorite. I think it has a bit of a french county farm style. I think it's great.😊

    Cory, I’ve been trying to think who you remind me of. It came to me today. A young Mary Stuart Masterson. You are too young to know who she is. Maybe some in the comments will know xxx

      *@misslannie73...you are SO right...Cory DOES resemble a 20-something Mary Stuart Masterson‼️😳🤪🤣 I have been trying to think of who Cory reminded me of, too❣️ My favorite movie that Mary Stuart Masterson is in? It's "Fried Green Tomatoes" - and I noticed Cory has the same quirky smile and sense of humor Mary has - especially in the food fight scene with Mary-Louise Parker❣️🤣🤣🤣 Cory, I think you would L💚VE that movie 🎬 because Jessica Tandy, Cicely Tyson and Kathy Bates are also in it. 😉 It's a very charming story about the old South, but it doesn't hide all of the terrible injustices against blacks and women while the story is told. The parking lot scene with Kathy Bates is HILARIOUS‼️🤣🤣🤣👍🏼*

    And you are definitely the one to make these things beautiful!🦢 The book case looks more like a 70's.. reminds me of said furniture my older sister had in her bedroom years ago. I love the crackle effect, my daughter used it on a few pieces in her home and i really liked it. That piece turned out beautiful.. love it🤍 Love the terrarium! I love to collect old lamps, that one is actually really cute, very unique! Love what you did with it! Like you said, some things just depend on how you style them. The Mix match is even trending in clothing. I want to collect mix matched dining chairs for my dining table, i love that look❤ I think you did a great job as always, the bookcase turned out really pretty and love how you've staged it! TFS😊

    You did a great job! Just a thought - how would some of the chicken plates looked stacked vertically - you know, like in a dish drainer, in the greenhouse/or terrarium? or maybe even put the candlesticks in there? That was brilliant to put the scrapbook paper sleeve over the electrical wiring on the lamp - it looks charming. Great makeover AND vignette! 15:43

    I don’t feel farmhouse, but I do feel summer cottage at the lake. Often summer cottages had a collection of random older things that people brought from their city homes that were unused. They filled the cottages with these random mismatched dishes, silverware, glasses, furniture, rugs, blankets, curtains, etc. not being used in their homes any longer. It had a very relaxed, unfussy feel where you didn’t have to be so careful of things. It was for summer play and carefree times.

    The vignette is cute but not my style. It reminds me of Canterbury Cottage. I don't remember her name but that's her channel name here on UA-cam. She decorates similarly.

      That's a big compliment. Her channel is much more successful than mine! Haha thank you

    Almost has a touch of modern primitive country to it. Great look n very well put together. My favorite is the actual bookcase n how you revamped it. Have an amazing week.

    You really should ask for more money for your things and then mark them down after a week or two!!!

      Maybe one day! For now I need my items to "fly off the shelf" to make room for more
