My husband just came back from a deployment and I just wanted to say that your videos helped me through it. I don't have any family near by and your videos made me feel like I had a friend to hang out with so thank you for being authentic and making all of us feel like your friend.
Wow thank you so much I am glad he is home safe. I know exactly how that is. When my husband was in Afghanistan I was stationed away from family and it was really hard and lonely. I hope you guys have a super fun spring and summer catching up!
Thank you for your husband's service and God Bless your family! ❤🇺🇲🙏
As a vet, wife to a vet (23+ yrs active) & mother as well to a vet, (all of us out now), I KNOW what you go through & want to say sweetie, you ARE NOT alone! You all are covered in prayers daily even by those you may not know. Please tell your husband, thank you for carrying the baton, thank him for his service... But also, thank YOU for being his spouse & major support team. It takes exceptionally strong spouses to be married to the military & other such 1st responders. Without a good support system we vets couldn't be as effective as could be. It truly does take team work both at work & at home. You serve just as much as we do, if not more, so THANK YOU! 💝🙏 always.
Thank you so much! I think that since we are both Marines we really understand each other and have the same type of work ethic. We are a "no excuses" family. Hard work pays off and we tell our kids all the time that "can't" is a bad word, and that we can do anything we set our minds to. It does take a lot of strength, but it is always worth it.
Love how you wove the floral details rather than just create a center floral arrangement. Good economical use of florals
You're becoming one of my new favourites. I like your format where you thrift and then upcycle and your winsome down to earth way is so refreshing...not over the top just nice to listen to.
Wow, thank you! I am honored
I love little chubby hands helping.
They're the best.
I came to say the same thing
I appreciate that you price your items affordably. It's best to move items quickly and not hold onto them a long time. I saw a lady on UA-cam refinishing set of candleholders. She painted and waxed them. Later I saw them on Mercari for 125.00. I'd say she may still have them. Always love your projects.
Holy moly! Yes I'd rather my items move quickly too.
I think you should raise prices a bit. Pay yourself a living wage.
What you did with that tray is GENIUS!
Thank you!!
I loved the tray after you and your daughter polished it
I rec'vd the set of Disney books as a child @ Christmas. It was actually a Boxed Set & there is a 4th book to complete your set called "Stories From Other Lands" . It has the same deep green cover with a bright yellow spine and bag pipes as a symbol. The Box itself is the same deep green with a label.
"The Secret Garden" book would look great staged with plants, pots, and gardening tools. 🌱🪻
Great idea!!
Absolutely love the lamp! And how you and your husband lovingly save these beauties! And save our Earth while doing so!
Thank you so much
Your book of animals, I buy older books with black and neutral backgrounds, cut the photos out, and add soft highlights of watered down paint (sparingly) to add just a blush of color and frame them. Takes minimal paint.
That's a cool idea
Love watching you diy each product you purchase. The tray turned out beautifully! Such talent God has blessed you with. ❤
Thank you!
OMG, what you did to that silver tray was beautiful. I loved it.
What a good Mom.
Thank you Ann
I really enjoy watching you put together your vignettes each video
Thank you Cheryl!
I love to pick up patina'd silver. I use it as is everywhere. It's a specially great in fall but I just love the moodiness that it gives
I totally agree!
I am so sorry you painted it.The cleaning of this tray was awesome. I cleaned over 1,000 rings that my mother and I bought at an estate sale, I like your daughter found it so enjoyable. I am so sad that you could not see the imperfection as part of the tray's history and the life cycle it has gone through. To me the polish with the damage was BEAUTIFUL. It's your project, not mine
If it were for me to keep I would feel that way as well. Since I was not keeping it, it would take forever to sell with those imperfections or not sell at all. At the end of the day I have to do what's best for the piece to find its new home.
My daughter also liked cleaning trays. I used black chalkpaint it could used for seasonal signs with white chalk. Like happy birthday etc
I would have bought it polished or not. But, never would I buy silver painted. I think that was trending a few years ago. To each his own preference, but not mine.
I thought the sticker/tag said silver plate.
Your videos just keep getting better and better! I can tell you are getting better with editing and filming. All your hard work shows! Also, your hair and blouse combo looks really pretty, and also professional and stylish. Cute!
Thank you so much Leslie. Editing is the worst part of doing youtube haha. I appreciate you noticing that. Also all my clothes I get second hand on thredup. I put a referral link in the description box. It might give you a discount but honestly they always have really good discount codes on their home page when you go on their website anyway. I'm not sponsored I just really like to get my clothes there because I know which clothing brands fit me well like American eagle high rise jeans but I can't afford them new haha. And the shirts I buy are usually like 5 or 6 bucks. I just set the sizd and colors I want and then change it to show me prices low to high and buy the cheap stuff. It's name brand stuff
I might have to check them out again. I've looked in the past, but I'm a size 18/20 and didn't find much.
I like the idea of sealing the moss with ultra hold hairspray
It's wonderful that you encouraged your daughter's enthusiasm. You could tell by the way she attacked the tray with that polish. that she was excited to transform it. LOL
I have collected tarnished silver trays and platters for about 40 years. They go in and out of style, but not for me. I use them all over my house and give them a light polish sometimes, but always try to keep the patina intact as much as possible. So, you can guess where I'm headed here... I wanted you to keep it tarnished, but then I saw what you did to it, and WOW! I think you really upped the chic factor. I love the paint and I didn't think I would. I wonder how it might look if you did a coat of antiquing wax to bring out the carved details.
I'm so glad you liked it. Great idea
Have you ever watched Jami Ray and Zeb? They have a shop and they shop at the Bins and thrift stores. They also have paper and paint etc. on their website. I'm so sorry for your bad day you were having. But so glad that you had a viewer that cheered you up.🎉We love you Corey, take time for yourself sweet lady🎉😂❤
Thank you so much Dianna! I have watched them. I wish I had more time to watch more
And, Jami and Zeb curated the Cottage Colors. Crockery that you used was created to mimic actual crocks. They have new colors coming out soon. They are amazing.
Every Texas home needs a Bluebonnet picture! Love it!
Haha yes
I absolutely love your flips and I think it’s wonderful that your daughter enjoys vintage items❤. That lamp is stunning and I have no doubt you will get it figured out❤
Thank you so much!
Books !! I had to store all of my books at my brothers, just got them back, today.. 10 boxes with 6 to go.. I am so excited to have them back.. I do so much, with them.. risers, backdrops etc. I always read to my children.. just got through reading a book to my 52 yr old daughter. It usually starts with me laughing out loud and being asked, what’s so funny? Next thing you know, we’re a chapter in and she’s hooked 😉My daughter lives two doors down, and will come over before bedtime for our story time.. I love it ❤️
I love, love, LOVE that art deco lamp!!!!
Love the frame you made for the lavender print! Thanks again for another enjoyable video Cory!
I love your braided hair and the Disney books!
My mom has so many paper back books with ideas for painting your own projects but they are all out of print so I'm anticipating using the black & white prints as well as the colored examples for multiple projects
It’s wonderful that your husband helps you!!!😊
Thank you Pauline. He is great
I’m with your daughter. Polishing silver is fun!
I love tarnished silver-so much variety in the resulting patina👍
True!
I always did the silver for my mom, I still love it
I had those Disney books growing up!! So, 1965 was the year my younger brother was born and I believe he still has them.
I also had that book set in the early 60s. I still have a couple of them, although they have been well loved.
how awesome!
We loved them also. They are a set of 4.
I love old story books- it comes from my Granny reading to me.♥️ I miss her all the time.
Thank you for rescuing those. Love your outtakes!
Thank you. I can relate. My granny was the same for me too
Love your ideas. Beautiful pieces. Just a tip, pour your paint into separate container when using additives ie., baking soda, etc. Dipping brush into container may contaminate all your paint. ❤
True! Good point
The lamp is fabulous even without the glass! Loved everything❤
Thank you Julie
I like silver platters stacked, very impactful
I never would have thought of using baking soda to make a rough finish. Love that idea!
Seen on afew others.....it's a new thingie
Loved all the flips, but the canvas you framed and the silver tray are my favorites.
Thank you Dianna
I have a little tip for you about polishing tarnished silvers and brass. If you spray it with a clear lacquer sealer when you have cleaned it. It won’t tarnish and need polishing again. 😊
Very smart!
Wm Rogers tray is gorgeous, I'm the odd duck who loves silver polished! I'd use it as a "riser" and place items over the bad spots.
Great idea
The yellow flower is pronounced ,For -sith-ee-a..(from an old lady gardener)...beautiful lamp.
Hi Cory it's Ange from England. Love the items you upcycled today. The colour is amazing. I did like the lamp shame the glass was missing. How I wish I lived over there as I certainly would shop in your booth. .Love to you and the family. Take care catch you next time. Xx
Thanks so much! 😊 if I ever get to visit England I'll bring you some goodies haha
That lamp! I seriously gasped. It’s so gorgeous 😍 Even though I can tell it’s unique and not a common find, it still broke my heart a little when you said it and confirmed that 😂 I’m sad that I’ll likely never find one similar to yours.
Awww I'm sorry
My advise… I’ve been thinking about this on pretty much every video. I truly hope with all the great books on things that you find, you are keeping back the best (or special) ones for yourself. Even when your kids outgrow them because when they have kids of their own, they will love that you kept that. My grands love the things that I kept from my kids (their parents,lol) and they also have toys that my mama kept that were mine!! Tell me they didn’t make toys that could stand the test of time!! Lol… Toy, books, ornaments anything that would have made a memory. You won’t regret it!! Even if you’re tempted to throw them out because you have moved or wagged that tote a million times and it’s in your way….the moment you see your grand babies playing with them, this flood of wonderful memories come flooding back and your heart is filled and overflowing…❤❤❤
That's wonderful advice
Putting that frame on that canvas really made the colors pop! Great redos!
Thank you
I'm so loving these videos! I've been missing the premiers because of church but I always catch the replays! Keep doing these! 💕
Thank you Jennifer! That is ok!
Omg I would have never thought to paint that tray. It looks beautiful!!!
Thank you Melissa
I think younger viewers and younger people will love the painted tray..I am older but I love it painted..u did a great job.
Silver tray would look beautiful with a mirror added to it also ... Loved your video ... Thank you ... ❤
Great idea!!
Creative and clever projects. Side note: You can actually remove the extra louvers from the stack at the bottom of your window blinds where you staged your projects. It will give your blinds a more custom look.
Yes one day
I have a few silver-plated items. Always polish plate less frequently than sterling, because ultimately the plating will wear off from polishing. Also try simmering with baking soda in an aluminum pan, or with aluminum foil in a regular pot. No scrubbing!
Great tip
WOW !!! The frame made a HUGE difference
Oh hon, wash the silver sponge out after every polish, you're just smearing the black tarnish around. 🫶
The tray turned out beautifully! 💞
When I get the sponge wet it doesn't work as well. that is why I use a rag to wipe off the black right away.
I LOVE that lamp! I'd pay $100 for it even without the glass!
WOW! That is really awesome
The tray is William & Roger's, which is silver plated, and the yellow flowers are called Yellow Bells, that bloom on bushes. I have huge bushes of them blooming in my yard right now! Great upcycling!
Thanks for the info!
In ky we call the yellow flower, forsynthia. They grow on bushes. I have several in my yard as a natural fence. ❤
I’ve never heard them called yellow bells. We call the Forsythia in Georgia, too.
Just a FYI. If you mist the back of the canvas with water it will tighten the canvas and won't be so floppy
Great tip. It works!
I love the cottage colors from DIY. Just so you know, the cottage colors have a built in sealer. You don't have to seal it with wax. The regular clay based DIY paint needs to be sealed! Great job on all your flips!
Thank you for letting me know!
Loved this video. Lots of interesting finds! Dont forget about the rechargeable light bulbs in case you do run across a lamp thats not fixable. I love them when i dont have a plug in close to where i want my lamp too!
Great tip!
My Aunt had those Disney books while we were growing up and read them to us
Love all the pieces! The lamp is beautiful!! ❤
Thank you! 🤗
Love the books you found, wow! The mammals bok is amazing. Nice vignette, looked very nice!
Thank you so much Emma
As always everything turned out beautiful ❤
Thank you so much Cin!
That lamp is so beautiful
Thank you
Good job on the lamp & I think the crisp new shade & its style is pretty for the lamp. I don't care for that finish on the brackets, plain white would be prettier to display a lovely plate or vase , etc. on, or a burnished wood look would be very versatily as well. I like the planter, bird & vine table candle holders r very cute. The pics with Frames turned out nicely as well, love the gold flecked vase with the boxwood ball is really cute! Good ideas!
Love the finds...the tray is beautiful, but the lavender canvas print is gorgeous!
Thank you Linda!
Hi, I'm new to your channel and I absolutely love what you did with that tray! I think they all came out beautiful. Thanks for sharing!! ❤
Thanks so much! 😊 I am happy you are here!
Nice floral print. I like the frame you put around it.
Thank you!
Love all your projects, they're beautiful
Thank you Dottie
So fun watching you what you come up with!
Thank you Cathy!
I'm almost all the way through watching this video. When you brought the books out, especially the one with the $1.99 Goodwill sticker, I could just imagine an older lady in an upscale neighborhood of Houston calling a colleague and saying, "Helen, there's a girl on UA-cam going through our free bins and pulling out very valuable stuff. She pulled out a silver tray, for cryin' out loud. Yes, a 92 mark silver tray. Who is going through our stores and saying "OK" to this stuff? We're losing money HELEN!"
OMG, I'm laughing with tears running down my face.
Haha that would be funny
More great stuff! You’re so good at this stuff Cory!! 🥰🥰
Thank you so much Kim!
Hello! I have to admit when you started painting the tray after all the hard work of getting it so beautifully shiny, I was thinking “NO! DON’T PAINT IT!!!” But then when you were finished I was like “ That’s Gorgeous!!” Lol That lamp is beautiful. You did a good job on all of these. Thank you for sharing
Thank you Holly
Great haul on books!! The lantern looks so pretty!! Wonderful print that you found too!!
Thank you Caroline
Love your style you always find cool things love watching you at the bins.❤😊
Thank you Bertha
Haha. I had that cottage style book when it was first published! That lamp is gorgeous!
I love it!
Loved the lantern !! I pick up every one that I run across,too❤️
I enjoy your flips. Love the tray and lamp
Thank you Sharon
Just stunning work, love these videos!
I LOVE DIY paint. It’s my favorite. OMG, that lamp is perfection!
Thank you!! 😊
Great work, Corey. Well done, and thanks for sharing.
When i find those silver plated pieces, i always paint them.
I found faux Slag Glas shades but still made in 40s! They are framed in separate sections. I'd gathered maybe with the your glass missing a framework also missing to hold that post higher or maybe even wrong post. A furnished cottage that came with our house had older lamp someone had relaced the harp. But it makes any lampshade and finial no longer fit. Harp too thick, so they left shade and finial teeter totting on top. I just use shadel3ss as a bright work light.
I absolutely love that lamp!! The big picture looked amazing with just adding that frame, it was a beautiful print too.
You’re so down to earth! Thanks for making these videos 🙌🏻
Thanks for watching!
I love the vignettes that you create!
Gorgeous re dos. I really liked the container you put the yellow blooming branches in with the moss. Beautiful job.
Thank you Mary
Hi, I just found you & will add to your subscribers. You have great ideas & are very creative. As for the Disney books, I still have my original set I was given back in the 60s. I was born in '62 & received them for my 5th birthday. There are 4 to the set and each spine was a primary color.
Hi there! I'm so happy you are here. My mom was born in 62 as well
That lamp is simply amazing! I need to live where you do because I never find as good of thrifted items as you do and you do a great job giving them new life.
Love that lamp.
LOVED the silver tray!!!
Yay!
Great haul, again! I just love the way you flip them and set them together. Thanks for sharing your ideas, Cory ❤
Thank you so much Gina
@@DesertDIY you’re so welcome, Cory ❤️
Love your ideas.
Thank you!
Beautifully cohesive vignette!! And what a worthwhile trip to the bins!!!
Thanks so much! 😊
After you glue it down spray it with firm hold hairspray. It works !
You have such a beautiful way of putting things together that look soo pretty
Thank you Gloria!
We had that Walt Disney book set when I was a kid. I'm sure they're still at my parents' house. Thanks for the flashback!
Spray the moss with rubbing alcohol to break the surface tension. Then spray with watered down white glue or Mod Podge. It'll hold forever. I do about 3 parts water to 1 part white glue.
Wow I love the finish on the tray❤ I am so enjoying how you choose your items to complete a vingnet!
Oh my! I had the set of those Disney books! My brother and I used to read those over and over! I’ll have to ask my mom if she saved them! So great you found 3/4 of them. There may have been more but we had 4 in a holder that held the 4 together! Such a great memory! So glad you found those to hopefully share with other kids/adults!!! ❤
how cool!!!! They sold in my booth today for 9.95 each
Congratulations! That’s such a great price!
That large picture is absolutely gorgeous!❤
I think so too!
Tray looks great!
