    I turned one into a Cat entertainment center with some cut out holes to climb through, carpet strips for scratching a hammock and high perch. It's fun to see it still entertaining.

    I'm glad to see you have your four-legged supervisor's approval! 😅

  • @daphneschulz
    @daphneschulz 2 года назад +112

    I love them both! The only thing I would do differently is maybe add some bun feet in a natural wood finish to the apothecary cabinet too! But like I said absolutely beautiful! ❤️❤️❤️

      @beverlyburns4281 2 года назад +14

      I was thinking that same exact thing!

    • @chanaheszter168
      @chanaheszter168 2 года назад +7

      Yup! Bun feet or taller. Low glass equals tiny handprints. Just saying...

    • @heidigresh2743
      @heidigresh2743 2 года назад +6

      Same thoughts… bun feet.

    • @patriciaoldfather6377
      @patriciaoldfather6377 2 года назад +7

      I was thinking some simple short legs.
      I definitely think it needs to set up off the floor just a little bit. About 6 inches would be great. Otherwise, it is beautiful just like everything she does! 👍🏻😊

    • @boonedogglepip5463
      @boonedogglepip5463 2 года назад +3

      Yes, some kind of feet or legs but I think I would hang it on the wall, as is. Love it.

    Am I the only weirdo geeking out on how many different saw horses she has? Those extra large chunky ones look hand made. Also, the projects are absolutely beautiful, and you are so talented.

    Complete awesomeness! I think the apothecary cabinet would be crazy cute with legs too!!!

    • @georgiasmith9477
      @georgiasmith9477 2 года назад +2

      I was thinking the same thing! 😅 It’s cute like it is but legs would take it to the next level. (Pun intended)

    • @denisekuenzel9465
      @denisekuenzel9465 Год назад +1

      Yes, it definitely needs legs. I also would like the other piece better if those legs were painted white to match.

    Hi Mary ~ These are wonderful ! No I couldn’t do that, but I love watching you do all of this. Love the Buffet with the little open space under the top and those legs….love them in the wood tone ! Then the Apothecary Cabinet, how sweet is that !
    I do thank God daily for the amazing gifts and blessing He has given people. He gave you this gift of seeing items used in amazing ways ! Not everyone has that gift. We are to share those gifts with others and you do….whether it is someone purchasing your items or watching you create. I find such joy and peace watching you. You are a blessing for sure !
    I pray you have a blessed week ! 🙏🙏

    Several years ago, I redid a very nice oak entertainment center into a desk for my sister. It turned out much better than I thought it would, especially after I had so much trouble cutting areas which really weren't meant to be cut. You did a fantastic job!

    This is definitely one I will have to show my husband to get him to understand what I have been wanting, and to show him why I want to pick up every old piece of junky furniture I see, lol. Gotta get him to understand the potential and nobody proves that better than Mary. These pieces are absolutely beautiful. The white piece is exactly what I have been wanting for my kitchen. Love the apothecary one as well.

    Someone gave my mom a quilting hoop made out of cherry wood. It’s large. Thought I might want it to do something with. It’s Amish made from Ohio. I was thinking of just hanging it on the wall with a piece of my great grandmothers quilt. Do you have any ideas?
    I needed this video today. This is exactly what I want for my second bedroom being turned into a library room. Just love it Mary. You’re so creative.
    The bleed through or bubbling may be eliminated if you use a stain blocker primer, and a sanding, like Zinnsser Bin or another. I’ve had to do that. Have a blessed day Mary.

    Beautiful job, Mary, and it was so fun to watch your process. I love both pieces! I would even use that buffet as a stand for a modern flat screen TV-it’s perfect for that too. And I think I’d put short-ish, skinny legs on the apothecary cabinet like many of them have. So cute!

    • @patriciaoldfather6377

    Some of these entertainment cabinets are beautiful hardwood and very well made. Love the green but I wonder if you could redo one and leave the wood? Maybe stain it a darker color like espresso?
    My folks bought one in ‘ 83 that was top of the line; solid walnut. Looks like yours. They are gone now, but there’s just too much fine wood and craftsmanship on ours to just haul off. Love your ideas!

    The new pieces of furniture are beautiful. The green color is reminescent of the green paint used in the 1920's. My preference would be to paint the legs of the buffet white. One would never guess what piece of furniture the two new pieces were made from. ❄️❄️☃️❄️❄️

    Beautiful work! Totally unrelated, but your wearing skirts/ dresses that fall below the knee reminded me so much of my upbringing in church and my mother (RIP). For some reason, seeing you do this kind of work while still dressing like a lady (as my Mom would say) is inspiring. I totally rebelled against having to wear long dresses and skirts all the time and left the church as soon as I turned 18 over such a rule. Now, 30 years later, this is what stands out while watching this video. I don't know why...peaceandblessings
