  • In this video, I challenge myself to find a few items in a local thrift store and redo them in a day! So much fun. 😁
    **NOTE: I ended up going back to the thrift store and getting the rest of those pretty clear cups. (this will make sense once you watch the video)😉

      Janey Jane Dee That's too funny. I'm 72 and started collecting milkglass about 5 years ago. Recently while dusting a number of these pieces I had to give my head a shake!! WHY am I collecting this stuff. My daughters don't want it. So I stopped. Somehow a weight has been lifted! LOLOL At my age, I'm supposed to be purging, not collecting! Have a great rest of your day!

    I was so excited when I saw that you bought the metal table. As a professional interior decorator and furniture designer myself, I couldn't help but tell my husband, "I hope she puts a wooden bottom shelf on it." And sure enough, you did.

    You were so right to paint the whole chair white. It's much better with the trim showing through where you distressed them to make some places to show through.

    @robinr1714 2 года назад +6

    Hi, Mary. I really enjoyed the trip to the thrift store. I'm reasonably sure I've never seen a cleaner, more organized thrift store. My parents collected glassware, so I kind of lean in that direction as well. Young people today don't seem to be interested in that sort of thing--no pretty dishes, crystal or silverware--sad--loss of an era. Loved to hear the birds singing.

    These are definitely my favorites. I do love taking something old and discarded and making it pleasing and useful. I've been doing the same at home. There is such a great feeling of accomplishment. When you tell someone you only have under $10 in a functional coatrack or table it gets the "wow" factor.

    When my Gf and I built our tiny house We decided to use as much recycled/upcycled stuff as we could. We bought all of our kitchen cabinets sinks and cabinets at the Habitat For Humanity ReStore and repainted/ reporcelained them and then we bought all of our furniture at thrift stores and flea markets and fixed and painted them, Saved THOUSANDS of dollars and noone will ever know, It's pretty easy to do and doesn't take much time because like you showed in this video, you can work on several things at the same time. The ONLY thing we bought new furniture wise was our couch, box springs and matress.
