Let me know if you enjoy the comparison videos better like this one, against the thrift store! Or if you like them against other stores that are more comparable? Remember, even if you don't like the thrift store setup better than the Pottery Barn one: wasn't it fun to see what you can do spending a lot less money! Hopefully it gets your creativity flowing, and your mind thinking for your own home!
I love all your videos.
Your video was very informative. I would never spend that much...But thank you for sharing.
I liked the video, the branch really turned out beautiful.
Your work is awesome!!
Your videos are great
Now, now. You NEVER let us down. I love the leaf creation--using a wash to tone down the garish DT leaves was brilliant. You have inspired me!
I so agree with everyone who said “there is nothing to redeem.“ When I choose a UA-cam channel to watch, it is mostly because I was first attracted to the presenter and then whatever content they choose to offer is a bonus. You don’t have to try to please us. Whatever you choose to take the time to share with us is a gift. And you are the best gift, so please just know that! You are a breath of fresh air to so many of us out here.
This is exactly what I wanted to say but much more eloquently phrased. :)
I love this sweet comment!
I'm just blown away Leslie . I can't believe what you have done. Your tree branch looks incredible and the work you put into this video for your subscribers that were displeased with your first video shows just how serious you are about your channel. I just wanted to say thank you so much for all of your work and dedication. I really hope that you have an incredible week ahead. Now put your feet up and try to take a little break. See you in your next video 💞💕💓🤗💓💕💞 Just wanted to add your husband is the luckiest man in the world to have you as a wife .
You are too kind! Thank you ☺️❤️
@@ACharmingAbode so are you sweetheart may God continue to bless you and Jason
Totally agree with you, Laura.
I couldn’t agree more! She is truly such a joy to watch each and every time!! 💗💗
I couldn't agree more ❤️💯
Your tree branch looks more high end than the one from pottery barn!!! It’s fuller and the leaves are bigger. Thank you for doing this video, watching people create things is so inspiring.
I completely agree!
Same here! I plan to recreate it. The celery wash idea is a gamechanger I never would have thought of... even better than cream or white...
🤔 The leaves that she put celery wash on do not appear to be the same leaves that she used on the branch. The leaves on the branch had stems on them and the ones in the wash scene did not. Am I missing something?
I agree!!!
Leslie, I didn’t think you needed to redeem yourself at all. I think your branches looked equally as good as Pottery Barn (if not better) and even if you had bought pumpkins, you still would have been way under in cost. You’re always fun to watch and very good at what you do. Thanks for showing us just what we can accomplish if we put our mind to it.
Amen! These comments about redemption, as if Leslie was on trial. Be kind and enjoy!
Agree! Didn't need to do over.
Though I have to say, I liked your branch way better then the pottery barn. Nice job.
I love the thrift cakestand better too!
You inspire me to create, too! Thank you so much!!!❤😊
Watched with my daughter. When we saw your leafy branch, we both yelled, "so much better than Pottery Barn!" Beautiful. The vase painting just needed different application, like perhaps a sponge. LOVED the pumpkins, although I do like the green PB pumpkin. Great ideas!!! TY!❤
I absolutely love the side-by-side comparison doing thrift store with a regular store! Please do more!
Love the thrift store setup. Especially the branch and leaves….
You did a great job and I love your enthusiasm and humble attitude.
I love, love your thrift store version! I would love to see more of your dupes. You did an amazing job, I'd put that on my island for sure! Well done, girl!
Both are nice. The thrift store one was amazing. The branch with DT leaves is ingenious!! Awesome job.
Your arrangement looks amazing Leslie. Everything turned out beautiful. Your tree branches and leaves look so good and your vase turned out great. You always put out wonderful videos so don’t feel like you need to redo them to satisfy some people. You are the sweetest person. Look forward to seeing your next video.
Here's a hint: next time paint your vase white and then black and then set lightly sand off some of the black. I do like the comparison between pottery Barn and the thrift store
I absolutely love thrift stores! You definitely have a gift for envisioning how you can make those things similar to the store bought items! You really didn’t have to redeem yourself, all your videos are helpful and most of all they are authentic! 🧡
love the thrift store vs regular store comparisons 😃. what a fantastic idea and a great way to encourage upcycling!
Leslie, You have never let me down! You are amazing! I can't believe how you were able to create the branch with the leaves. Totally unbelievable. You' have such a great eye and your DIY skills are terrific. This was a great comparison.
I think the branch and leaves you put together look so much better than the PB option. Very creative!
I really like your leaf branches better. I think you did a great job. I would never pay pottery barn prices. Great job!🍁
I thought the same thing. The branches she made were way cuter
Perfect! Woman after my heart! If someone says they spent “x” amount of $$, I purposely try to replicate it using thrift finds and paint. Even repaint loved items from year to year. Your leaves/branch were so inspiring! LOVED IT!! Especially loved the big black jug! Paint covers a multitude of sins lol
Super job. Your branch is outstanding. Just perfect! While you did not have to redo your Halloween setup, using thrift store materials showed us another of your many talents.
Yes! More of THIS! Store vs. thrift store. I live in a resort town, Cape May, NJ! Victorian town but we have loads of great thrift finds!
Great vid Leslie.
I love that you made or revamped your thrift store items. I absolutely love those homemade pumpkins!! So cute! My vote is for the thrift store centerpiece. It’s so worth the work you put into it and has more interest.
Whoop whoop! You have redeemed yourself. Such a classy crafter you are. Great job , Leslie. You rocked the Thrift Store finds.
I like the thrifty way / look best. I have always been inspired by others and try to create similar on a budget. Things dont have to be expensive. Branding makes it that way unfortunately. We cant all afford to buy anthropology, ballard design, pottery barn ABC home ... I enjoy getting the look and feel for much less money. We ALL get inspiration from somewhere. Craft/ thrift and save on.
Awesome comparison Leslie, I love the thrift store one because it's done with love and nearly nothing compared to pottery barn. I can't even afford to "Breathe" in that store.
The diy branch w the leaves is my favorite. The vase turned out beautiful! Love the ones that you created better.
Loved this one. Think yours looks better because of the tree.
That is a great thrift store!Thrift store is the winner! No need to pay that much for just a few months of decoration. Plus so much more creative. You did an awesome job on the limb!!! WOW!
Yes! Yes! Yes Leslie! I especially love the branch. It looks so good! This just shows that with imagination and ingenuity, you don’t have to spend a lot of money and you get a great sense of satisfaction. I hope Pottery Barn will let you return their overly priced decor 😊
Oh yeah! Your decorations you made looked way better Leslie. I don't think I would have painted the Vase. The color of the Vase matched your cabinets and was more of a fall color. I am a Thrift Store person. I decorate my whole house in Thrift Store, Garage Sale & Auction finds. U did an AWESOME job. Thanks!
OMG! Yours is SO much better! Especially the pot and leaves. Much prettier!
I don’t really mind whether it’s Thrift or a Hobby Lobby type comparison. They are all great.😍
If you’d done “apples for apples” with HL, it might have been somewhere in the middle (price wise), so definitely fun to see the thrift examples every so often.
Thank you for all you do for us silly folk out in “view ville!!”😁
I'm with Sarah! You did an amazing job with the fall twig. Love the pot .... can't win em all ... the cups were too muted but like you said, had you painted the face black, it would've been great! I like it and I'd do it your way for sure - any day! More money in your pocket!
You didn't let us down with your last video...it was just fine! I loved this one as I love saving money and doing DIY's! Great job Leslie!
Amazing!! Wonderful comparison and shocking price difference. Plus lots of ideas to create our own look!! I would love some fireplace ideas for fall🍁
Love the thrift store version! Your tree branch is spectacular!
Really impressive how you recreated the Pottery Barn look. Appreciate your creativity.
Absolutely no apology needed, Leslie! Both versions were informative and entertaining. It's your channel and you can do whatever you like on it! We are guests in your home when watching your videos.
I loved the way you did the branch in today's video - that was incredible.
I love the thrift store dupe!! Girlfriend I might even have make a branch like yours. I think you did a wonderful creating your project!! Score: 10
Wow! I love your Fall arrangement! The branches you made are gorgeous with the vessel! Yours is by far more beautiful!
You outdid yourself and it turned out beautiful! Wow the money you can save by using your imagination! If I decorate for a season ,usually fall Christmas/ winter and spring/summer , it’s thrifted or from the great outdoors .
Its amazing how beautiful your tree brach turned out! Everything from getting the branch from your own backyard to colorwashing the leaves , right down to the fact you just came up with that idea. Turned out great!!
Your branch is awesome! Thrifting is so fun and love how you used what you could find. Definitely my favorite!
Leslie,
I agree you did not have to redeem yourself, you are giving us many options. They all great options, you have my mind spinning how I can use things I already have and just as some new things. You are always a bright light to the day with so many ideas and tips. Love, love your videos with Jason also.
Enjoyed this video and the first one! You didn’t need to redeem yourself-love your ideas and inspiration. That branch you made yourself is amazing!!!
I always love to see dupes that look great and can save money! Did you consider using air dry clay to add handles to the large black vase?
The branches with leaves look amazing!! I may even like that more than the expensive PB branches.
Leslie, I love watching all of your videos no matter what they are. You are such a joyful person and I see God’s light shining through you! Your videos just make me feel happy!
Amazing job, Leslie! While I certainly didn’t see the need for you to redeem yourself, I so enjoyed seeing your incredible creativity with the thrifted finds! I am inspired to search for a branch and fire up my glue gun! I liked the look of yours better than the ones from PB! Thank you for all you do for us!
Years ago I went shopping with a friend who was looking for Fall decor for her dining table because she was having a small dinner party for her husband’s coworkers and managers. We went to PB, RH and C&B. She spent a fortune and I was just speechless. I would have gone to Target and Walmart back then.... today I would have done just what you did ... thrift stores and diy. I know a lot of people that feel really good when they spend a lot of money to purchase the “best” that money can buy (in their opinions), however I’m just the complete opposite and brag about how little I spent and feel so proud about being cheap and a bargain hunter. Your tree branch with the leaves was absolutely gorgeous... I will be trying my best to recreate it.... TFS 🍁
Loved your thrift store version!!! That fall leaves branch is incredible, even tho it did take awhile to create.
I do enjoy following your videos, both decor and the courageous sharing of your life.
I'm one of those that probably reflects as the viewer that is not subscribed, because I usually watch on my daughter's big TV...and my subscription is on my phone.
Regardless, I do enjoy..and keep your family in my prayers.
Great job, the Thrift store one looks just as good,especially the branch and leaves. Don’t let peoples negative comments get you down. I enjoyed watching you doing the Crafting.
I loved this video! You did a great job! I loved the thrift store version better. Making that from twigs in the backyard and glueing the leaves came out better than the $60 one from PB!
very good. are you going to do Christmas decorating using trees from outside?
Leslie I love this! you did an amazing job with the thrift store one and I have to be honest I like your "made" branch so much better ❤️ and the whole thrift store one was just so great and the price well thats a Win-Win!!!!
Well done! Doesn't matter that yours is a little time consuming - most of us have more time than money! Beautiful!
I loved this video! It helps to see how much I can save just by doing a little DIY.
You nailed it and you never need to feel like you let anyone down. I know you are strong. You are stronger than anyone I know and I support you and will share your channel with my friends.
Ok, first, I didn’t feel let down by your previous video at all. That said, I really loved seeing how you were able to recreate the expensive PB look with thrift store finds and some elbow grease. Super fun video and super impressive diy!
I loved this comparison! Your thrift store arrangement is beautiful and you have the satisfaction of knowing you made it work with a little craftiness! Also, the price difference….! I agree with another viewer, You HAVE NOT let us down! I LOVE your videos!
You are too much!!! I thought the first video was just fine. This second one - you outdid yourself! I’ve copied expensive ideas for years. It’s always a matter of time/energy/money - how much of each resource do I have? Your DIY project is only 10% of the Pottery Barn decor! That is fantastic and amazing! Well done. Plus, PB items were probably made in China. It’s so much nicer when it’s handmade!
I loved the thrift store comparison! I am a thrift store shopper. I save pictures of vignettes that I like and look for less expensive alternatives. I have to be patient sometimes because they don't always have what I want, but then I go back the next week and I find something that will work! I keep an open mind as I'm looking and have found great success. Also, I have learned that things don't have to match piece for piece. It's the "feel" I'm going for. If I can find things with the right dimensions, the display works.
You went to a lot of trouble to set up this video.🇨🇦
Yes! I definitely did! ❤️
Oh my gosh....you are delightful! I am really enjoying your videos. I even borrowed your idea for Halloween and found a dead branch and put scarecrows on it! I love everything about you! Thank you for ALL you do in the midst of being a caregiver! Hugs and prayers...always!
This was awesome!!! You did a great job replicating the Pottery Barn look for a fraction of the cost! Bravo!
I want to compliment you, Leslie. Your 'thrift-art' is way better looking than the expensive 'design' stuff. At first I thought the branch wouldn't do it for me, but you surprised me and I will copy your idea 🙂 Regards from The Netherlands.
Yep. The homemade tree branch wins hands down! What could be better than homemade!? Your family will remember that branch forever! “Remember when Mom made a fall tree branch?!” I love it!
You certainly didn’t need to redeem yourself. You are so sweet. You do this for us out here and everything you did was fantastic! Now! Your thrift store creations were soooo good! You totally nailed it! Such a creative mind you have! Applause applause 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏! 🙋♀️💕🌴
Thrift store is the winner in my book! Your DIY branch I think is better that the expensive one. I'm definitely going to try the toilet paper trick for my fall decor. Thanks for the tips!
Great job again, Leslie ! You matched Pottery Barn to the T and you saved a lot of money. Love it.
WOW!!!! Your Fall foliage branch came out amazing!!!! Loved seeing the comparison, the foliage from PB was insane at $60!! Too much money. I love the upcycling with the branch, and what a great idea to create your mugs instead of finding pumpkin mugs out there. I love shopping at thrift, there are so many great treasures!
Ooh wow!!! Your 'fall foliage branch' is WAYYYYYYYYYYYY pretty!!!! Great finds and great job on the makeovers!! [And you are very fun to watch!! :) :)]
Oh my goodness. Fantastic. I like yours better. Especially the branches. Amazing. Well done.
Love this video. You have created a fabulous DIY replication of the Pottery Barn look. I love the idea of DIY to save money, especially for a short-term decor display. When I win a huge lottery I can buy the expensive stuff and get a house with room to store it all. :) A tiny tip for the future - use a sponge (sea sponge if you can find it - check craft stores) to dab watered-down white paint on the vase and then another clean wet sponge to remove some of that white paint if you need to. This will give the more splattered look you were going for.
I totally loved watching you do this one. You are so darned smart. Good to see hubby.
Quite plain and simple: Leslie you are a blessing! A true joy to watch and listen to….each and every time. And, oh yes, to pray for quite often. 💗
Great job Leslie. Your tree is just the best. But there was no need to ‘redeem’ yourself. You are one very busy lady. Best wishes to Jason .
Bravo Leslie👏...the branch you made is fantastic ! I loved the thrift store set up. Oh and by the way, you have never let us down ....
I cannot believe how nice the branch and leaves look. Way better than the Pottery barn ones. Clever ideas for the pumpkins. Awesome job!!
Love this comparison video! Not only that, but I like the DIY vase and leaves better than store bought! Love the cake plate too. Now you have me ready to go thrifting myself!!
Bless your heart. You went to so much work trying to please everyone, but it shows it can be done with some effort.
Love that black pottery barn vase, I have too. Love it!! You did an amazing job on that diy vase. tfs 🥰👵🏽😊
That was actually awesome. I do like the thrift store one better because I’m a thrift store girl myself. I like the fact that you were able to go in your backyard and get the sticks and glue the leaves on that really looks better than the other one. Thank you
You are such a trooper, I didn't think you needed to redeem yourself. Boy oh boy I love what you did with minimal budget.. thank you
Love what you did! Absolutely fabulous. I like both versions. Glad to have the thrift store option, too!
Wow Leslie, you knocked it out of the park! Amazing. I loved how you gave those leaves the wash to tone them down. Perfect! I agree that the pumpkin faces might need to be a bit darker to see them better. But your creativity is sensational. I am having a great day today which is not always the case…….your video really made me happy! Nice to see Jason help with the branch sizing. It came out super. Love you guys. I always look forward to your videos! 🙏🏻💕🙏🏻
🙌🏼 Leslie really did that didn't she! You definitely put a lot of time and work into that 💖 bless your heart! You have an amazing personality, so enthusiastic and sweet!
Leslie , you never disappoint with your videos.❤️❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 You did an amazing job duplicating the Pottery Barn display. That was a fun video. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️
You did an amazing job! The thrift store decor is not only less expensive but way more beautiful in my opinion. (I'm a bit biased as a regular thrift store shopper!) There's nothing like the thrill of the hunt at thrift stores. Keep up this kind of content if you have the energy for it,!
Leslie Very nice. I love that you could do this with some item's found right in your back yard. The pumpkin's turned out so nice. So creative.
Love the thrift store one for the price, the pumpkins from pottery barn are my pick. But Walmart gets pumpkins in that are just as cute. I would never spend $331.00 for a look. Thanks for the awesome ideas.
Loved it with Thrift Store. My favourite part was making the pumpkins with toilet paper. Thanks for sharing.
Bravo! You nailed it girl! Thrift store version WAY better than Hobby Lobby. Awesome Job.
Your other video was great too, but I did love this! How fun. Your thrift one looks even better I think. The black border around the placemat ties in with the large vase.
Your tree with leaves is WAY better looking than PB's! Love the black vase you touched up and the cake plate. Not crazy about the pumpkins and mugs...you but can't beat the price and it looked like fun.! Great video. (I was not disappointed in the last one, you put so much effort in to what you do!)
I really like yours because it gave the natural look even more natural.
Loved it!
You did not disappoint before, it was two different looks. This time I like the thrift store version, beautiful, especially the branch with faux leaves. Pottery barn has nice things but too expensive for me. Thrift store, thumbs up. Have a blessed day
wow Leslie,you done a wonderful job on this. I love the idea of the Thrift store verses Pottery Barn.
I didn’t think you let us down last week. I always enjoy your videos! You were very creative in this video! I vote thrift store for the win! Your leaves are actually prettier!
Super fun video using thrift items or what you already have. The mugs are cute but I liked the original design too!
You have nothing to redeem. We are lucky to have you brighten our day.
Extraordinary! Your vase and branch exquisite! And mugs and cake stand fantastic!
Hi Leslie - What a great job you did on the thrift store projects. In my opinion it turned out greater than the Pottery Barn, and you did it yourself. The stick and leaves is fabulous. Great job. Thanks for sharing and continued success. Love PegEgg
I did enjoy the comparison! The thrift store one looks very nice. I think most people would like it. However, the Pottery Barn one just looked softer and richer. Thanks for doing this!
