We have one television and we only watch it maybe, once a week. But it’s “center stage “ and dominates the room. If I could cover it I would!! In your home, I might try a decorative hook (coat hook style )above the clock, so that when you want to use the television you could easily transfer the painting above. (Doubling up the wall decor) we had an old fuse box on a main wall. For years we had wall art over it, then later I made a Velcro cover for it, so we could access it when needed. Your television doesn’t stand out and dominate, due to the dark bookshelves. But I personally like the look. I like when they overhang pictures on a bookshelf, using a stocking hanger hook. I enjoy layers, I just don’t enjoy the dusting 🤭. I enjoyed this, as always, thanks!
I live in Scottsdale AZ and people say your thrift stores must be amazing Well they are not! Everything is so used. I don’t mind painting or repairing things but not for the prices they are asking.
In the UK we have charity shops, I rarely see any thrift stores. And most of them are getting expensive! I’ve found the best place to go is the tip (or dump) as many of them now have charity shops and they’re so much cheaper. Thanks to Sherry I’m visiting my local tip shop regularly! 😊
There is no such thing as "too much" William Morris. Everything blends together seamlessly. Seeing someone besides me put framed artwork in front of TV thrilled my very soul. I've done it for years to cover that ugly black hole....lol
I thrifted a really old highchair and it made a lovely plant stand. I wrapped ivy down one of the legs, and everyone that comes by loves it!oh, I didn't do Anything to the chair....❤❤❤
I came home from college and to my delight my childhood rocking chair was in the living room. My mother had it fixed and refinished. It was black with gold toile painting on it. Under the paint the rocker was made from walnut. I have it in my living room now and my first granddaughter sits in it. It’s priceless.
Wow. So many things to choose as favorites. The watermelon print looks really good as a coverup for the TV. I loved the gold frame with the William Morris fabric. I thought it looked excellent next to the WM curtains. I didn't think I'd like the butterfly mirror, but that gold leaf gave it real WOW power. Well done.
I love the welcome needle point. The green frame really sets it off. You’ve created so many wonderful things for your home. The picture in front of the TV is perfect. We don’t have a TV in our living room. Really love the William Morris things in your house. I look forward to your videos.
I live in a rather large town in Arizona with lots of thrift stores, but our prices are always higher than what she shows us. Goodwill has almost gotten out of my price range. In many items, what was $3 two years ago is now on sale for $12.49. Considered not going anymore, but I still pop in now and again. That, plus I don't resell my items, so my house can only hold so much. 😊
In shopping thrift stores in many states and cities, I have discovered that the best prices are usually in the suburbs of large cities. Smaller towns don’t get as many donations, so they have higher prices. Inner city thrift stores are usually both overpriced and picked over. Of course, there are always exceptions. I live in a mid-size city.
The William Morris table cloth looks great next to the William Morris curtains. Also, I love all your new glasses. The frames that you have picked out are perfect for your pretty face.😊❤. Another great video. Thanks.
Great finds Sherry. I have to tell you about my roommate back in the sixties. She would find old black lunch boxes like the one you found. She would paint them with oil paints covering them with tiny flowers. She always was able to sell them to men who thought they would certainly get comments from their coworkers. Thanks for another great video. ❤😊
Oh, what a fun roommate you had! I wish that I could paint like that! Funny, but my college roommate was an artist,too. I always admired her realistic drawings.
Except for the 'mixed metals' (no!) and 'earthy color pallete' (no!) , I have been doing all these for decades. Fortunately, I have NEVER cared about home styling trends. You selected lovely items and did a fabulous job upcycling as always, but people: fill your home with what you enjoy and love, and stop being consumer sheep!
Holy socks, I totally support your choices! Sorry, but as a child in the 70s and a teenager in the 80s, no earthy tones! And mixed metals, too easy to go tacky!
I think that people decorate with what they like...not what other people say is "trendy"! I am Eclectic. Country, shabby chic, Victorian, roses, lace, silver, sparkly crystal, tea cups, wood, milk glass, apples, angels, tins, and lots of knick knacks!!
The cabinet knobs in the last project are THE BEST! What a great place for them. Yes, I think that picture fits just right in front of the tv. I have a picture in front of the fireplace. LOL I love the tablecloth as a picture. It fits well on that wall.! Thanks for the inspiration. Spring is getting closer, at least my daffodils thinks so!
Love the painting leaning against the TV! It's a great idea! Can easily be lifted down to the floor if watching TV. And I love the William Morris tablecloth framed and hanging near the William Morris drapes. And the gold leaf mirror is amazing! And love the knobs!!
Love it the picture looks fabulous in front of the tv...I honestly couldn't see you taking your clock down...😊 the frame is gorgeous with the needle point...😊the frame is perfect next to the curtains the table cloth is awesome...😊 the mirror is awesome I love it...😊 that table is divine decadence and a great conversation piece...😊
Sherry, nearly everything you touch turns to magic. Loved the red table with the fox hunting theme. I know it goes well with the rest of your fox hunting items. The bird and flower dishes you showed are Royal Copley and go for about 12 - 15$ apiece. When you showed the books, my eyes went straight toward the ones you purchased. I subscribed to your channel a while back after I finally made an account. Keep up the magic!👌👌
Thank you for the tip about the bird dishes. I didn’t know anything about them. That’s funny that you noticed the books right away, too. You obviously love old books, too!
The salt and pepper shakers are very nice...😊the cloche is very earthy...😊 the pillow is adorable love it...😊 the trinket dish is darling...😊 the lunch box IA very unique...I love the blue it almost looks like it's porcelain 😊...the chair is so sweet...😊...love clocks just like you...City Beauty products look so nice on you...😊
Love the red table. I tend to go my own way when it comes to decorating. I use what I like and what makes me feel comfortable and happy, which is most of the trends you mentioned today. You are so talented in upcycling the treasures you find. Thank you for sharing.
I totally agree, Sandy! I only follow trends out of curiosity. I feel like I can always find things that I like that are somewhat trendy, but like you, I buy what I like whether it is trending or not.
Yes to covering the tv! I found that idea inspiring and am going to look for a way to stage a picture in front of my tv! From the clock cabinet to the chair, so many yummy ideas!
Sherry over 20 years ago I did the exact same thing to a mirror that used to slide in the back of a dresser. It was actually plastic thank goodness because it was so heavy. I've been using that mirror hanging on my entry wall ever since because it is so gorgeous. Nobody would ever guess that it was plastic for one thing also a dresser mirror one of two I believe because it is long and tall and somewhat thin. I used to leave the gold leaf kind of chipped up and then I would use a watered-down brown acrylic paint as an antiquing finish
Good afternoon, Sherry! I commented on the original video, but it disappeared after the sound went out. Anyway, I'm glad it's back up! Thank you for sharing the new 2024 decor trends on a budget! Im going to have this list on me when I thrift. I've mentioned this before, your home is so beautifully decorated. It feels welcoming and cozy. Yes, the lovely art should stay in front of the tv. Stay warm! ❤ Bobbie. xoxo
Good afternoon, Bobbie! Thank you! I had a technical issue today. Always so much fun! I deleted the first video as soon as I discovered that some of the audio was missing. I fixed it and uploaded the corrected one. However, for some reason there was a delay, and RUclips didn’t delete the first video right away. So weird.
I have Blue Boy and Pink Girl hanging in my house! Purchased at the antique mall. My grandmother had these pictures in her home too. After she passed away not sure what happened to her set so when I saw these I was so excited to get them❤️
My uncle painted 'Pink Girl' for my Grandmother in the 1970s. They are both long gone, so the painting (by numbers, with a little personal finesse) is a sweet memory .
Oh my goodness! That butterfly mirror was magnificent and so well done! It was a statement piece by its own rites! I am going to follow what you’ve done today to spruce up my coffee room and my bedroom/craft room! So many fabulous ideas! I have to watch it again now!
Home trends change every year, and not necessarily for the better. I do my own home trends, I don't need anyone telling me how to decorate my home!! With that said, I love everything you create❤
It's hard to choose a favourite find/project. Like the red end table, though❤ Working tip to goldleaf. Let the thin papersheet protect the leaf when placing it on the object and then rub it on, preferably with a soft cloth. Finish with a varnish to protect against oxidation and scratches. Gold leaf is so much fun.
Framing the welcome hand embroidery with just the right color and embellishment was typical creativity for your aesthetic! I have been playing with idea of using gold leaf in my art work and am just blown away by the frame! Appreciate your sharing techniques with your viewers, thank you! Blessed peaceful and safe days!
@@CanterburyCottage mostly acrylic painting on various surfaces, metals and traditional papers like watercolor! Recently completed a series of graphic drawings of women of the west! My current idea is to do a series of “Women of the Sea” (women pirates fascinate me) in styles like Art Nouveau with gold leaf!
Firstly you made my day using a clock.I think you may recall I love your crafts using clocks. The art work in front of the Television looks like it was made for the job. The framed table cloth goes wonderfully with the William Morris curtains, I’m a very much you can never have enough W.M. kind of girl. I must say I loved the butterfly mirror and what you did with it. All you did in this video was great. Thanks for the ideas.
I love the plaid wallpaper on your wall at the beginning. I used to have a lot of brass but I always felt bad when it wasn’t “polished” & got rid of it all.
Thank you! The plaid wallpaper is actually padded fabric! It was here when we bought the house. I love tarnished brass because then you know it is the real thing.
I love the large picture leaning in front of your TV. The tablecloth picture is perfect next to your drapes, too. The gold leaf frame is stunning. The antiquing wax really shows off the beautiful details. The little red table might look good with antiquing wax, too. I love thrifting, but we don't have very good options in my town. You made some great finds.
When you said "you'd keep collecting books & clocks," the song, I was Country... when Country Wasn't Cool started playing in my head! 😂 I truly love every the way you set up the grouping in the Alcove!! I really loved the floral art work beside your bedroom bookcases. The oil fruit pic was an amazing steal! When you brought out the vintage birds, I literally said outloud.... OF COURSE you did because it wouldn't be right you not using birds or butterflies!! The knobs are ABSOLUTELY totally YOU all the way!! I love them!! I love everything! The lunchbox turned out so pretty also!! Hope you have a super great week ahead!!
I love how every 10 years...My home is back on trend/in style again!...with the exception of the peach/red/pink accents...I think I have 8/10 of your trend list in my home! Did the earthy colors 12 years ago when we built/reno'd our current home.....it is like shampoo... Wash, rinse....and Repeat!!!
Well, Sherry, you have done it again! Another informative and charming video. I so appreciate your narrative of each of the trendy things for 2024. Funny thing is, I was amazed at how many of the trends I already have in my home. Loved the fox hunting handles you put on the red table. Every time I see vintage handles in a thrift store, I pick them up because I know one day I will need them for something. Great video! And thanks for the tips of the City Beauty products.
I love your videos!! Honestly, I don't know if I'll do any of the diy's, but just seeing your finds is a joy. I love your style, so similar to mine. I've been ro Ireland twice and love William Morris. And on top of your industrious talent, you are authentic. God bless!
Oh, thank you! I hope you love them. I wanted to keep that pink lamp, but I honestly didn’t have a good spot for it. I’m so glad that you will enjoy it now!
Yes….do it in front of the TV!!! Let me tell you I am one of those women who refused TV in my livin*room and have always hid it in special remote cabinets until……we bought the Frame TV with Matt finish…..I have EVER been happier….we purchased a go.d filigree frame that attaches magnetically and down loaded a huge amt of real art…..I LOVE IT….just know it is very $$$$
I think the still life painting propped up against the TV looks lovely there under the clock. It's colorful and adds so much visual interest. Likewise, I think the framed cut tablecloth looks lovely near the William Morris drapes. I don't think it looks busy. I like the color it adds to that space. I'm impressed by everything you do. You, certainly, have an eye for design. It's a gift and talent that I hope to cultivate for myself by watching you. Thank you for the inspiration. ❤
The gold leaf on the butterfly mirror was so gorgeous. I love how you could see the wood grain through the gold! I think your red table would look more like your aesthetic if you used dark antiquing wax. I used a similar color on my kitchen island and then used walnut stain with a rag. Before antiquing mine, hubby was freaking out at the bright red. He LOVES the antiqued brick red we have now. I love your style, period. I think we are close in age, so I’m not terribly surprised. Great video!
Yes, I agree , leave the painting in front of the TV. I love the framed ‘Welcome’ needlework. The Pewter set is wonderful. Well found. It is amazing what you have done with a frame and fabric. I must keep my eye out for something suitable. Thank you.
Yes! to leaning the lovely still life against the TV! TVs are ugly, and the still life is such an improvement when it's in place. I love the William Morris fabric print in your family room next to the William Morris curtains! It's not too much! 🙂 I loved this whole video, but the way you transformed the butterfly mirror with gold leaf and antiquing wax is amazing, and I think it's my favorite! And the red side table with the terrific hunt knobs is a treasure. Thanks for another super video!
I like the picture in front of the TV. I also like the way you turned the black dinner pail into a clean white with blue touches. The gold butterfly mirror is awesome. Thank you for sharing your gift of design.
Definitely keep the picture in front of the TV. The tablecloth that you framed looks beautiful right where it is. My favorite makeover was you’re welcome sign that was needlepoint. I fell in love with that.
I've been using the City Beauty lip product off and on for years and it really works (I'm 77 years old). I think that the watermelon picture looks good while covering the TV. I currently live in a horrible old double wide, but hopefully will be able to find another home like the one my husband sold. Thanks for all the wonderful ideas.
You can fix the dent on the large painting by putting water on the back of the canvas and rubbing it in with a microfiber cloth the dab up the excess. Canvas is made of cotton. When it dries, it shrinks and the dent goes away. I have saved so many oil paintings with dents this way. It tightens up the whole canvas. Maybe you can do a video of you fixing it! ❤
I love the pix in front of the tv, keep it there. The material framed is a bit too much, but, to each his own. You are the most imaginative diy decorator on Utube! Thanks for all the info!
2 thumbs up for the fruit painting covering the tv and the William Morris tablecloth in frame next to the curtains. I also grew up with a relative who had the Blue Boy painting in their home also. And I think there was a matching girl in a flowing pink dress that went with that. I love your thrift flips...give us more please!
yes to covering the tv with the painting- genius
I love it!
I agree wholeheartedly!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Agree!
We have one television and we only watch it maybe, once a week. But it’s “center stage “ and dominates the room. If I could cover it I would!! In your home, I might try a decorative hook (coat hook style )above the clock, so that when you want to use the television you could easily transfer the painting above.

Love the painting there! The colors are great, too!👍
You are so fortunate to have such great Thrift Stores that also price things reasonably.
Yes, I realize that I am lucky. I have shopped in stores in other places and sometimes the prices are outrageous!
Yes! Ours have gotten so expensive 😫
I live in Scottsdale AZ and people say your thrift stores must be amazing Well they are not! Everything is so used. I don’t mind painting or repairing things but not for the prices they are asking.
I'm in New England it's pretty expensive here too. I don't see many garage sales anymore 😢
In the UK we have charity shops, I rarely see any thrift stores. And most of them are getting expensive! I’ve found the best place to go is the tip (or dump) as many of them now have charity shops and they’re so much cheaper. Thanks to Sherry I’m visiting my local tip shop regularly! 😊
There is no such thing as "too much" William Morris. Everything blends together seamlessly. Seeing someone besides me put framed artwork in front of TV thrilled my very soul. I've done it for years to cover that ugly black hole....lol
Thank you! I wish you would have told me to find a painting to put in front of the TV years ago!
I’ve rediscovered my love of William Morris thanks to this channel. Temu has some amazing and well priced William Morris items available.
I love the service Temu provides so will look that up. I did buy a William Morris scrapbook of designs off Amazon.
I love your chair and the warmer colors. It's almost too good to be true that the grey and white everything trend is gone!
Thank you! I can’t believe I actually convinced myself that I liked gray! Now, it’s going to take awhile to get rid of all of it!
I never did gray anything, I do not follow trends, you are very creative, you never have to follow trends, your home is timeless.
Grey interiors: 🤮. Thought this all thro the trend. Will still be thinking it. 😊 Unless, of course, you enjoy living in an institution....😊😁
I really like the way you take seemingly unrelated items and marry them together to create little treasures. The little chair is so cute!
Oh, thank you, Dianna! 😊
The Lunch box, the child's chair and that butterfly mirror!!!!! GENIUS!!!!!
Thank you, Kristin!
I thrifted a really old highchair and it made a lovely plant stand. I wrapped ivy down one of the legs, and everyone that comes by loves it!oh, I didn't do Anything to the chair....❤❤❤
I came home from college and to my delight my childhood rocking chair was in the living room. My mother had it fixed and refinished. It was black with gold toile painting on it. Under the paint the rocker was made from walnut. I have it in my living room now and my first granddaughter sits in it. It’s priceless.
The red little table,is just beautiful!!!
Oh, thank you, Gloria! 😊
The red end table..................YES!
Oh, thank you! 😊
It’s nice to see my decor choices are in style.
That’s how I feel, too!
When they inevitably go out of style, you just keep doing you, boo! 😊
Wow. So many things to choose as favorites. The watermelon print looks really good as a coverup for the TV. I loved the gold frame with the William Morris fabric. I thought it looked excellent next to the WM curtains. I didn't think I'd like the butterfly mirror, but that gold leaf gave it real WOW power. Well done.
Thanks so much, Lorraine! I wasn’t sure I would like the gold leaf or not, but I’m so glad I gave it a try. 😊
I love the welcome needle point. The green frame really sets it off. You’ve created so many wonderful things for your home. The picture in front of the TV is perfect. We don’t have a TV in our living room. Really love the William Morris things in your house. I look forward to your videos.
Thank you so much, Jan!
Wow! Your thrift store is far better than anything in my small town. Great projects!
I live in a rather large town in Arizona with lots of thrift stores, but our prices are always higher than what she shows us. Goodwill has almost gotten out of my price range. In many items, what was $3 two years ago is now on sale for $12.49. Considered not going anymore, but I still pop in now and again. That, plus I don't resell my items, so my house can only hold so much. 😊
@bethbenson1931 our thrift stores don't get much good stuff either, and you're absolutely right, prices have gotten out of control.
In shopping thrift stores in many states and cities, I have discovered that the best prices are usually in the suburbs of large cities. Smaller towns don’t get as many donations, so they have higher prices. Inner city thrift stores are usually both overpriced and picked over. Of course, there are always exceptions.

@@CanterburyCottage you get the best stuff!!
I love the deer picture with the William Morris print. And wow, that butterfly mirror is gorgeous!
Thank you!
The William Morris table cloth looks great next to the William Morris curtains. Also, I love all your new glasses. The frames that you have picked out are perfect for your pretty face.😊❤. Another great video. Thanks.
Oh, thank you! I have Pair Eyewear glasses, so the fronts are changeable. They are just held in place with magnets.
Great finds Sherry. I have to tell you about my roommate back in the sixties. She would find old black lunch boxes like the one you found. She would paint them with oil paints covering them with tiny flowers. She always was able to sell them to men who thought they would certainly get comments from their coworkers. Thanks for another great video. ❤😊
Oh, what a fun roommate you had! I wish that I could paint like that! Funny, but my college roommate was an artist,too. I always admired her realistic drawings.

I have to agree with you. I never in my life followed what was popular. Be it clothes, purses ,furniture whatever I like doing my own thing. ♥️😊👍
Love the red table

Love all the projects, but especially love the child's chair loaded with books, and the S&P shakers updated to a beautiful vase.
Thanks so much! I think the chair was my favorite, too. (And, I wasn’t expecting to like it that much.)
Absolutely keep the painting in front of the tv!! Love it! ❤
Thank you! Will do!
YES! To the painting in front of the tv! I've been doing that for years, I think a blank tv is so ugly!
And I LOVE that $7 painting!!
Thank you so much! I wish I had thought of it before. Well, I didn’t think of it; it was an accident!
That $7 painting is Wow! Perfect in that room with the bright green watermelon! Brilliant!
The cabinet knobs in the last project are THE BEST! What a great place for them. Yes, I think that picture fits just right in front of the tv. I have a picture in front of the fireplace. LOL I love the tablecloth as a picture. It fits well on that wall.! Thanks for the inspiration. Spring is getting closer, at least my daffodils thinks so!
Thank you, Jan. My yard is covered with 10 inches of snow with an inch of ice on top of that. The daffodils are nowhere in sight in Illinois!
Love the painting leaning against the TV! It's a great idea! Can easily be lifted down to the floor if watching TV. And I love the William Morris tablecloth framed and hanging near the William Morris drapes. And the gold leaf mirror is amazing! And love the knobs!!
Thanks so much! I’m so glad you like these items, too! 😊

It is good to know that it works on plastic. What a great way to dress it up. I will have to try this on something in the future.
I say yes to the framed art in front of the tv 📺
Absolutely brilliant putting the painting in front of the TV!!!
Good afternoon, Sherry! I commented on the original video, but it disappeared after the sound went out.

They are classic! What a lovely reminder of your grandmother (who apparently had great taste)!
Love the red table. It brings out the red in the pillow. If it is too bright, try some dark wax to tone it down.
Good idea!
Your style is exquisite always. I am more thrifty than most, but you always inspire. ❤
Yay! Thank you!
Another winning video with such creative ideas! I want to shop at your thrift stores.
We could go together! 😀

You are so welcome! Yes, try the gold leaf. It was so easy, and I didn’t use real gold, so it wasn’t expensive. What type of art work do you do?
@@CanterburyCottage mostly acrylic painting on various surfaces, metals and traditional papers like watercolor! Recently completed a series of graphic drawings of women of the west!

Thank you! The plaid wallpaper is actually padded fabric! It was here when we bought the house. I love tarnished brass because then you know it is the real thing.
That red table looks smashing next to the chair with the leopard print seat and the fox hunt knobs are perfection. I.love.it.
Thanks so much!
I love the picture in front of the TV! And the clock in a clock! Especially since it had a little bird on top.
Right!
Yes! On putting the painting in front of the TV. It fits perfectly and looks beautiful. ❤. Plus I love watermelons
I have that bird book from long ago. It still works. It is really nice. I get it out from time to time if I hear a new birdsong.
I can see why you had those drawer knobs!! They are perfect in your space! That William Morris "print" is perfect! Beauteous as always Sheri!!!
O M G - the knobs!!!
I was so enchanted by the lunch box.
Fantastic ideas as always ❣️🙌🏽
I think leaning the picture in front of the TV is a great idea, especially since you don't use that TV very often.
The print and drapery combo looks very British to me and very Wm Morris appropriate
Yay! Thank you, Melody!
I love the large picture leaning in front of your TV. The tablecloth picture is perfect next to your drapes, too. The gold leaf frame is stunning. The antiquing wax really shows off the beautiful details. The little red table might look good with antiquing wax, too. I love thrifting, but we don't have very good options in my town. You made some great finds.
When you said "you'd keep collecting books & clocks," the song, I was Country... when Country Wasn't Cool started playing in my head! 😂 I truly love every the way you set up the grouping in the Alcove!! I really loved the floral art work beside your bedroom bookcases. The oil fruit pic was an amazing steal! When you brought out the vintage birds, I literally said outloud.... OF COURSE you did because it wouldn't be right you not using birds or butterflies!! The knobs are ABSOLUTELY totally YOU all the way!! I love them!! I love everything! The lunchbox turned out so pretty also!! Hope you have a super great week ahead!!
i am so addicted to this site!! I want my house to look just like this.
so cozy andcomfy but rich looking ,
I love how every 10 years...My home is back on trend/in style again!...with the exception of the peach/red/pink accents...I think I have 8/10 of your trend list in my home! Did the earthy colors 12 years ago when we built/reno'd our current home.....it is like shampoo... Wash, rinse....and Repeat!!!
The wall hanging using the tablecloth is inspired. I don’t think it is too much where it is hanging.
Well, Sherry, you have done it again! Another informative and charming video. I so appreciate your narrative of each of the trendy things for 2024. Funny thing is, I was amazed at how many of the trends I already have in my home. Loved the fox hunting handles you put on the red table. Every time I see vintage handles in a thrift store, I pick them up because I know one day I will need them for something. Great video! And thanks for the tips of the City Beauty products.
Oh, I’m so glad you enjoyed this video. I had so much fun thrifting with my trends list! The lip gloss and mascara are fantastic!
The red table in your Livingroom was my favorite. The still life painting in front of the tv looks great.
I love your videos!! Honestly, I don't know if I'll do any of the diy's, but just seeing your finds is a joy. I love your style, so similar to mine. I've been ro Ireland twice and love William Morris. And on top of your industrious talent, you are authentic. God bless!
I used to have the same Welcome needlework-but I finished it as a bell pull.
Oh, I love that idea! I was thinking it would make a lovely tapestry!
YES! Leave picture in front of TV. I do watch youtube on my tv a lot, but I still keep a picture in front of it until I use it.
I love love love the position of the still life hiding the tv when not in use..
I bought the beautiful pink lamp and shade and a black vase from you! Can't wait to get them ❤
Oh, thank you! I hope you love them. I wanted to keep that pink lamp, but I honestly didn’t have a good spot for it. I’m so glad that you will enjoy it now!
Yes….do it in front of the TV!!! Let me tell you I am one of those women who refused TV in my livin*room and have always hid it in special remote cabinets until……we bought the Frame TV with Matt finish…..I have EVER been happier….we purchased a go.d filigree frame that attaches magnetically and down loaded a huge amt of real art…..I LOVE IT….just know it is very $$$$
Everything is charming. Yes to the painting over the TV.
Love the picture covering the tv. Looks great, fit perfectly and easy to set out of the way if you want to watch tv in the kitchen.
Thanks, Laura!
Love love love the red table!!!
I use a vintage lunchbox for my purse. The more banged up it gets the better like it.
I think the still life painting propped up against the TV looks lovely there under the clock. It's colorful and adds so much visual interest. Likewise, I think the framed cut tablecloth looks lovely near the William Morris drapes. I don't think it looks busy. I like the color it adds to that space. I'm impressed by everything you do. You, certainly, have an eye for design. It's a gift and talent that I hope to cultivate for myself by watching you. Thank you for the inspiration. ❤
My decor is finally in style. I called it cottage.
Yes, overall cottage style is quite popular right now!
The gold leaf on the butterfly mirror was so gorgeous. I love how you could see the wood grain through the gold! I think your red table would look more like your aesthetic if you used dark antiquing wax. I used a similar color on my kitchen island and then used walnut stain with a rag. Before antiquing mine, hubby was freaking out at the bright red. He LOVES the antiqued brick red we have now.
I love your style, period. I think we are close in age, so I’m not terribly surprised. Great video!
Another winner. You definitely have some great thrift stores in your area.
Thank you! 😊 I do feel lucky to have several good thrift stores near me.
Yes, I agree , leave the painting in front of the TV. I love the framed ‘Welcome’ needlework. The Pewter set is wonderful. Well found. It is amazing what you have done with a frame and fabric. I must keep my eye out for something suitable. Thank you.
It looks like Arts and Crafts era style is coming back! :) I love the painting over the TV.
Yes! to leaning the lovely still life against the TV! TVs are ugly, and the still life is such an improvement when it's in place. I love the William Morris fabric print in your family room next to the William Morris curtains! It's not too much! 🙂 I loved this whole video, but the way you transformed the butterfly mirror with gold leaf and antiquing wax is amazing, and I think it's my favorite! And the red side table with the terrific hunt knobs is a treasure. Thanks for another super video!
I like the picture in front of the TV. I also like the way you turned the black dinner pail into a clean white with blue touches. The gold butterfly mirror is awesome. Thank you for sharing your gift of design.
The salt & pepper re-do was ultra clever and a beautiful green.♥️
Definitely keep the picture in front of the TV. The tablecloth that you framed looks beautiful right where it is. My favorite makeover was you’re welcome sign that was needlepoint. I fell in love with that.
I so look forward to Sherry 😊
Oh, that is so sweet! 😊
Love the "Welcome" frame....the S&P marble vase is my favorite!!! So simple...so clever....but that's Sherrie!!!! TFS ♥️ 😊
We have completely different styles, but I enjoy watching your videos and am inspired
And clever remake of the candle stand into a cloche covered specimen holder.😊
Yes on the still life in front of the tv
I've been using the City Beauty lip product off and on for years and it really works (I'm 77 years old). I think that the watermelon picture looks good while covering the TV. I currently live in a horrible old double wide, but hopefully will be able to find another home like the one my husband sold. Thanks for all the wonderful ideas.
Thank you, Carol! I guess the City Beauty lip gloss is considered a classic, but I had never heard of it before. I’m going to keep using it though!
You can fix the dent on the large painting by putting water on the back of the canvas and rubbing it in with a microfiber cloth the dab up the excess. Canvas is made of cotton. When it dries, it shrinks and the dent goes away. I have saved so many oil paintings with dents this way. It tightens up the whole canvas. Maybe you can do a video of you fixing it! ❤
I love the pix in front of the tv, keep it there. The material framed is a bit too much, but, to each his own. You are the most imaginative diy decorator on Utube! Thanks for all the info!
So smart to place a layer of felt behind the embroidery piece.
Thank you for breaking down a great way to shop for vintage and creative pieces.
Love the picture in front of the TV and where you put the deer picture. Enjoyed this video. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you, Connie!
2 thumbs up for the fruit painting covering the tv and the William Morris tablecloth in frame next to the curtains. I also grew up with a relative who had the Blue Boy painting in their home also. And I think there was a matching girl in a flowing pink dress that went with that. I love your thrift flips...give us more please!
Oh yes, definitely keep the painting in front of the TV!
Awesome placement
I like the red table where you put it. Once again you out did yourself!
Now a days we have framed tvs are you kidding me that art work in front of the tv is perfect 👍🏾
