  • It is easy to overlook the common and cheap items on thrift store shelves; however, with a little DIY magic, you can turn these items into beautiful home decor. In this video, I’ll be transforming ordinary thrift finds such as a used cutting board, wooden bowl, metal stand, metal planter, jewelry box, broken resin orb, patriotic resin sheep, metal and wood butterflies, a small lamp, a small bird cage, a cheap metal platter, a plastic picture frame, a wood picture frame, and faux flowers in acrylic “water” that has turned yellow. The results are extraordinary!

    Sherry, you batted 1000 on this week’s projects! I say leave the mirrors in the jewelry box as it gives it depth. And how are we supposed to pick a favorite?! My goodness, they are all excellent and exceptionally inspiring. You will have to work super hard this week to top this collection.

Your ideas and ability to put different things together just amazes me, Sheri. I think I will go back to my original way to pick a favorite…I’ll just watch the video twice.

    Loved the fluffy sheep with the red bird and his little nest! Was sad to see that he was snapped up. Will have to keep my eyes open to make my own. My 91 year old aunt died earlier this month, sharp and interested in life till the end, and she was very crafty and loved to watch her son drag race on You Tube. Typing that made me smile. Watching made me a little tearful (in a good way) thinking of her and her pleasure in being creative.

    Sherry, these are all very beautiful, as usual. I can’t possibly pick a favourite cos I just love all of them. You’re so creative and everything you do just looks so good when you’ve finished. TFS and please enjoy your week.

    I’m glad you left the mirrors in the jewelry box. That is my favorite project today.

      Thank you, Julia! I definitely liked the mirrors more after I added in the faux plants.

    My favorite project is the cutting board/wooden bowls. So clever!

    I loved all the projects but I think the frame with the transfers on glass was my favorite. You are such a creative and talented lady. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
