Fun flips! Love the print in the Golden frame. If people understood how many books are thrown away at thrift stores, because people isn't buying them.. I work at a thrift stores and we recycle 90 % of the books, because they will not sell. Goodwill bins is the last stop, so if you rescue a book there and use it for the prints, that's great!!
Cory, you do you and ignore the naysayers!! People act like books are sacred. The only sacred book is the Holy Bible. I'm an avid reader and I save my favorite authors/books, but I don't consider them sacred. Would the naysayers rather that book be thrown in the trash or saved from the trash and used in a beautiful way?!?!
Isn't that funny! I think people can be way too attached to "things" sometimes. You can't take it with you in the end so enjoy things however you want to while you're here
I'm not a reseller and country decor isn't my style at all.I watch bc I love your creativity and can appreciate the end results, even if they're not my style. Great job saving so many things from the landfill!
Absolutely love your style of decor n you always style them beautifully. Agree the green topiary just looks more elegant. Awesome flips. Hope y'all are feeling better. Have a incredible week.
Really enjoyed the video today. I loved your flips, especially the frame with the botanical print. I as well love the crock with the tulips, so sweet. You do such a nice job. Thank you for sharing all of your amazing transformations with us. Have a beautiful day.❤
Adorable, I enjoyed your haul and makeovers. Keep doing what you love and doing it well. I love you acknowledging your kids precious touch to your foam. They grow up fast. As far as the book, people it was 50 cents and heading to the dump if not for you rescuing it. You have given its pages new life in so many more ways than on a shelf or coffee table. I vote green.
It would help if your voice overs weren't so much louder than your video. Having to adjust the volume every few minutes is tedious. Thank you! I love the ideas I get here - your style matches mine.
I love all your flips. Ignore people who don’t appreciate what you do. You saved that beef from the trash and now many people can enjoy the artwork!!! I absolutely love what you do. We are saving the planet by recreating things that would have been in a dump❤
All your projects are wonderful. I know how the person feels about cutting up a book, however, if you didn't cut up the book it would end up in someone's pile of stuff or a garbage of stuff. Never to serve a purpose again. Hurray the book moves on.
You really got some good bargains! Luv the flips, those darn bunnies make me run for chocolate! We will have a hobby lobby opening within 8 to 10 miles of me. I am super pumped about this. You always mention hobby lobby and the nearest one was 75 miles from me until now, super happy. Are you doing ugly duckling in march? Some told me you were, i didnt see anything, so i figured not yet.
Yay Dar that's going to be so great having one nearby! Yes ugly duckling will be March 24th I believe. I will announce it in Wednesdays video. And on Instagram on Wednesday as well
I love all the flips I like how you see past the colours or if something is chipped or in rough shape is it just me who thinks the brown bunnies look like they are made of chocolate 😂
Hi Corey..just started binge watching your videos…they are great!!! I do floral arrangements…just a fyi..glue your moss in first…ez peasy then your florals! So much easier girlie!
So, Corey, I have started a project thanks to your encouragement, and I am excited to see the results. No idea if it will sell, but I can always try and donate. Thanks again for your help. You are an amazing flipper and person!
❤ We live in a throw away society…and with countless people into seasonal decorating…and with people seemingly quickly get tired of their decor and change things out often…and we definitely are in a thrifting and reselling trend… With that said, the value of many things aren’t respected for what they are… it’s hard for me to see what is damaged or destroyed just for temporary decor in your home or for resale! It really isn’t ok to use special books, as Bibles, hymn books, old music sheets and books, crocheted pieces, possibly that was made by Grama, or your mom, painting or pulling apart old pianos, etc. ….the list goes on and on! Many of these “crafts” are just for a time, and they are trashed anyway and eventually land at the dump! Decor always seems to change SO often… that’s how society is today in their mentality! So why deface, dismantle, rip apart things that do have value, just to make something for fun or to resell! I cherish, treasure, deeply appreciate, place value on things that remind me of someone I love, or remind me of different times in my life that had meaning to it…. Once things are destroyed for whatever reason, it’s gone…there is no replacing them! So please make your choices really careful on what you will do with what you find! Most books are incredible, in appearance and content! But a lot of books are worth nothing right from their beginning… with all the techy stuff today, books have had to take 2nd place…and that is a tragedy! But most books have great value…and should be enjoyed and appreciated for what they are…..❤ Including all other current, vintage or antiques items that have much character and to be treasured… There are those of you that will read this comment and be ticked off with me…It doesn’t matter in the least because this is what I deeply think and feel… I get concerned by what I am seeing on many U-tube sites these days…….😢
The green topiary ball is nice. It would also look cute with some sort of limb broken off and pressed into foam that you push into.th3 bottom of the vase. The hot glue the little green topiary so it looks like a little tree in the pot. The separation the little branch creates between the pot and the topiary ball will give it a more balanced weight appearance.
I’ve made faux chocolate bunnies by mixing brown chalk paint with glossy top coat or glossy decoupage medium and painting them. Looks just like chocolate! (I think I did a video on this a couple years ago.) Great video, love these decor makeovers!❣️
The bunny with the lavender filled apothecary jar inside of the ceramic baker is really cute together. The colors and variety of the objects really compliment each other.
I did! Loved them all girl and I'm so excited that you're so close to me... I'll have to try and visit your booth one of these days, but I'm disabled and can't drive, so I'd have to find a way there. Can't wait to see more projects ❤❤❤
Even if they are never going to be seen again? It is very interesting that some viewers are bothered by a sticker that they would never know was there unless they actually broke something apart to look for it. I use permanent adhesives. My brain doesn't understand it. It would be like expecting someone to stain or paint every side of lumber before building something... some parts will never be seen again and don't warrant the extra work. Are you thinking someone will see those stickers somehow? 🤔
I think you are so sweet, and I’m not sure why but todays video made me chuckle. Watching you try to attach the wood round to the brass Hosley candle holder had me giggling ( Hosley is vintage brass from India I have one of their brass boxes). I know it wasn’t easy but it was the right call it looked great! I think the green looked better than the white in the rich persons pot 😂. That brown bunny sure made the rounds in this video…I felt so bad for him when the white bunny took his place in the last vignette, lol. I love older books, and I usually hate to see them taken apart, but in this instance I totally get where you are coming from🥰.
For items that are actually food safe like your "decorative" casserole dish, I definitely wouldn't put anything that is not food safe on it/them in case someone wants to use it for food. Whoever buys your casserole dish doesn't know you put stain on it and might use it for food.
I have had such fun watching this video on RUclips. You and your husband are working so hard and making a life for you and your children. It is wonderful to see. Your book of plants was thrown away by somebody and you have saved it so to use it and share it with others page by page, I think is wonderful. I enjoy this format very much though. You are such fun to shop with. I wouldn’t want to seeing the occasional thrift shop in more detail. Looking forward to your next video. Thank you
Thank you so much Deborah you are so sweet. I have to use up a lot of the stock I have picked up before I am allowed to shop again haha!!! My garage is stuff full of projects so once I dwindle that down a little bit I'll do more shopping videos.
Thanks for the tip! I think it was a brand for vintage brass probably around the 70s but maybe people are reselling it on amazon now or maybe it is still going with new production
You’re so adorable & genuine. I love how you show the price tags 😄 Your flips are amazing! They go together so beautifully. Your creativity is incredible to find such random pieces & make them go together. 🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼
I am glad you are using the actual book pages and not copying them, that would infringe on the copyright laws. Also for future reference those little pins on the brass candle holders for pillar candles unscrew so they can be used for multiple things. Even the vintage ones!
I tried to unscrew it but it wasn't budging. maybe with pliers. You make a VERY good point about copying the pages! I didn't even think about that but you are correct!
Really beautiful. The juxtaposition of the rustic rooster and the glam dish at the beginning was super beautiful. I also love the brass mixed with the wood! You stage things so nicely. ❤ Also, you're making an excellent use of the book!
Hello, It's great that you can reuse items and give us ideas on what to do with our thrifted items. As far as the book of prints, most people don't realize about 320 million books are thrown away each year rather than recycled or reused, and paper accounts for 25% of waste in the landfill. (from google) Not only that but unless that book was printed before 1928 it is under copyright. It is against the law to copy book pages and use them in a way to make a profit. When you buy the book you can use the pages because you own the book, but you cannot copy them. I also agree that the original book pages will look much better than copies. 😊
The only reason people say not to tear pages is because they WANT to find fault with ANYTHING. They don’t actually care or even actually believe it’s somehow “wrong”. It’s not a rare antique book. What you’re doing is a sustainable practice and people need to close their mouths.
It was thick metal so I'm thinking I'd have had to use my electric dremel to cut it off. I have a very busy life so I save those extra minutes I wouldve spent fighting a sticker that will never be seen, on being with my babies. I use permanent glue on these items so if someone took it apart, the sticker would be the least of their worries lol.
*I disagree, Cory. The time you spent gluing, re-gluing and finally getting help from your husband to drill in screws - plus the time you spent painting gold over the screws - is MUCH MORE TIME than you would have spent using a Scotty Peeler (from Amazon in the Set with 3 plastic and 1 metal peeler) to remove the tag, which takes 2 seconds, and then grinding off the spike with an angle grinder or a dremel. 😊 I'm NOT trying to bust your chops, sweet friend and Sister-in-Christ. I'm just making a recommendation based on personal experience that will be a helpful time-saver for you, as well as increase the perceived value of your makeovers. Remember, people watching your RUclips videos notice your attention to details. I mean these suggestions in the kindest way possible, Cory❣️😉💜* *I have noticed more than 1 person commented about you not removing tags. Think about the possibility of how many more people had the same thought, but said nothing? Food for thought, my dear friend.💜💙💚💕*
It does look like the 100 acres woods! 😊 what a wonderful way to honour the printing of an old book - by showcasing each beautiful print in a frame. Loved the green topiary best the other one just looked too busy and lost against the backdrop.
@@DesertDIY *I agree, Cory! It wouldn't hurt to put a sign next to the tulips that says, "Beautiful tulips that look FRESH long after real ones fade away and die! Economical AND forever gorgeous!"* *Sometimes you just need to make people stop and think in order to realize they are getting the "look" they desire AND saving money in the long run. 😊🌷🌷🌷*
Gracias por todo lo que nos compartes, me encanta hay personas que dicen que no te lo compran, pero ni lo hacen, ni lo valoran y no disfrutan tengo tiempo queriendo pintar una mesa y un taburete, yo me pregunto ustedes como padres a que hora se dan el tiempo para todo esto tiempo para niños para comer, para bañarse, para las labores de la casa compras y en el caso de tu esposo seguir estudiando, tu siempre tan coqueta y limpiecita, encima de todo el tiempo que ocupan el grabar un video, los admiro sigan adelante, me paso tan agradable las tardes viendo tu material bendiciones y un fuerte abrazo para la familia excelente equipo, no hagas caso de la gente fea.
Fun flips! Love the print in the Golden frame. If people understood how many books are thrown away at thrift stores, because people isn't buying them.. I work at a thrift stores and we recycle 90 % of the books, because they will not sell. Goodwill bins is the last stop, so if you rescue a book there and use it for the prints, that's great!!
Thank you Emma! I agree. wow 90% is crazy!
At my Goodwill, hardbound books are $4. Always. No sales. So I don't buy them there.
Our stores think they’re high end retail , so I never buy , $4 & $5 is no bargain when it’s donated goods .
Our stores are selling books for 3.49 each. Even children's paperback.
Eeww..put the leaves back on the tulips !
Cory, you do you and ignore the naysayers!! People act like books are sacred. The only sacred book is the Holy Bible.

Wow thank you so much! That means a lot to me
@@DesertDIY you're welcome! Btw, I thought it was called Joann's too 😆
Green topiary ball is my vote
I agree
When living in a low light house I used mirrors and polished surfaces to reflect light into the eooms.
You're a smart cookie!
Absolutely love your style of decor n you always style them beautifully. Agree the green topiary just looks more elegant. Awesome flips. Hope y'all are feeling better. Have a incredible week.
Thank you so much Georgie! Yes we are feeling much better. I hope you are doing great too!
My favorite this time is the wood and brass candle stand.
Ooo yes that was such a cool one
Really enjoyed the video today. I loved your flips, especially the frame with the botanical print. I as well love the crock with the tulips, so sweet. You do such a nice job. Thank you for sharing all of your amazing transformations with us. Have a beautiful day.❤
Thank you so much Joy! I hope you have a beautiful day too
Taking the leafs off first is brilliant, look so good.
Thank you Rita
Very nice flips. I really like the videos like this. The basket vignette #13? Was great. Have a great week and be safe. Thank you for the videos .
Thank you so much Kristy I am so glad you like it! Thank you for watching and chatting

Thank you so much Annie. We seem like kindred spirits!
I know what the last jute tray staging needed: a linen cloth laying on the edge, or a doily piece? I treasure vintage textiles 🪡
I thought about that! Great idea!
Love the flips, just can’t stand the sloppiness of the tags 😢
Hmmm. I think sloppy is not a very nice adjective. Thank you for watching I appreciate it.

It would help if your voice overs weren't so much louder than your video. Having to adjust the volume every few minutes is tedious. Thank you! I love the ideas I get here - your style matches mine.
It is really hard to get the sound to match because on the computer it sounds perfect and then on the TV it sounds different. I can't figure it out!
All lovely and I adore the music you used!❤
I am so glad you loved the music. Thank you Andrea!
I love all your flips. Ignore people who don’t appreciate what you do. You saved that beef from the trash and now many people can enjoy the artwork!!! I absolutely love what you do. We are saving the planet by recreating things that would have been in a dump❤
Thank you Paula!
I meant to say saved that book.
Green for me but only because the white was too big. The white is beautiful though. Great video thanks.
Thank you!
My favorite was a picture frame amazing job thank you God bless 🙏
Thank you so much Angelina!
All your projects are wonderful. I know how the person feels about cutting up a book, however, if you didn't cut up the book it would end up in someone's pile of stuff or a garbage of stuff. Never to serve a purpose again. Hurray the book moves on.
I agree, thank you so much
I love how many things I can see in the speckles on the milk jug-- hearts, bunnies, etc. Looks so pretty with those tulips!
That is so creative of you to see that
You really got some good bargains! Luv the flips, those darn bunnies make me run for chocolate! We will have a hobby lobby opening within 8 to 10 miles of me. I am super pumped about this.

Thank you Charlotte I am so glad!
Those looks absolutely awesome. I love oval frames and that is a super great idea of recycling books for art prints.
Thank you! And easy!
I love all the flips I like how you see past the colours or if something is chipped or in rough shape is it just me who thinks the brown bunnies look like they are made of chocolate 😂
Thank you Beverley! Yes. They are supposed to look like chocolate bunnies good eye

You found some nice things! I’ve never found much at goodwill accept a silver champagne bucket which I love!
That's a cool find. I think yard sales can have cooler stuff if you can find any yard sales
I love yard sale season because Goodwill gets filled up after that!
Great video. Luved everything you bought and upcycled. All sooo beautiful. Ur very talented. Blessings from Texas ❤❤❤
Thank you so much Lisa!
#7 the green one
i agree
I loved all of the projects! You really have an eye for detail.

Green topiary ball great
The green topiary ball. It's a nice contrast and the size looks is perfect for the base😊
That planter did work out. I use white wax as a finish for faux concrete. Keep up the excellent work 💪🏾
Great idea to use white wax. Thank you
The green topiary is much better also a pop of color helped
Love that concrete look with the plates, wreaths & bunnies ❤
I Love❤how everything looks!! Thank You Cory!!❤️

Thank you so much! I am so happy I get to inspire you!
You found a book that keeps on giving! I think it's great! ❤
Wow its so sunny in your yard.
Yes, sunny days are rare lately! I am enjoying it. We have huge pines all around our house so its almost always shady here
I really enjoy watching your flips. But, leaving stickers on things would drive me nuts. 🤪😊
Even if they are never going to be seen again? It is very interesting that some viewers are bothered by a sticker that they would never know was there unless they actually broke something apart to look for it. I use permanent adhesives. My brain doesn't understand it. It would be like expecting someone to stain or paint every side of lumber before building something... some parts will never be seen again and don't warrant the extra work. Are you thinking someone will see those stickers somehow? 🤔
Why don’t you take the labels and prices off the decor before painting, staining, selling, using, etc.
As I explained in the video, those will never be seen since I used permanent glue to attach these pieces together.
I think you are so sweet, and I’m not sure why but todays video made me chuckle. Watching you try to attach the wood round to the brass Hosley candle holder had me giggling ( Hosley is vintage brass from India I have one of their brass boxes). I know it wasn’t easy but it was the right call it looked great! I think the green looked better than the white in the rich persons pot 😂.

Thank you so much Julie! I am so glad you enjoyed my video and got a good laugh. That's what life is about
For items that are actually food safe like your "decorative" casserole dish, I definitely wouldn't put anything that is not food safe on it/them in case someone wants to use it for food. Whoever buys your casserole dish doesn't know you put stain on it and might use it for food.
I will leave a note saying not food safe anymore
Magnifique😊
Merci!
Paint brush flip for sure
what thrift stores to you go to?
Goodwill outlet and goodwill stores
L😊VE TO SEE THEM ALL AT THE END of the SHOW DONE ✅
Those chocolate bunnies are gonna melt
They are so real looking, aren't they? they are fake.
Great finds & flips as usual! I have always called it Joann's too 😊 TFS ❤
Thank you Shelly
The only reason that I could see in copying pages of the book would to be able to use them more than once. Could double your money . 🤷🏼♀
Someone brought up a good point that it would be a copyright issue if I sold copies
Just IMO the tulips look too top heavy for the crock. I enjoy light and airy greenery or dried florals in these type of little crocks
Ok that's a good tip thank you

Thank you Linda! You'll love the book
You did a great job! I looked up Hosley and it looks like an Amazon brand.
Thanks for the tip! I think it was a brand for vintage brass probably around the 70s but maybe people are reselling it on amazon now or maybe it is still going with new production
This is a great, very inspirational video! I love it!

Please use a smaller picture for the oval frame so it doesn't look like the frame is too small for the frame. 29:04
Maybe on the next one

I love all of your projects. You do a beautiful job putting everything together. Beautiful. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I just discovered your channel today and had to comment on how much I love your ideas as well as your warm and down to earth friendly personality!
I use a thick emery board to smooth out chips on my projects.
That's a good idea
Modpoge blue and White napkin, another Idea.
love that style
For future info, you can take wire nippers and remove that little stem on the candle holder and then it will sit flat on your wood round :)
Enjoyed the video! Thanks!
Thank you!
I absolutely love your thrift flips. I would recommend using some colored flowers. I guess it's just my preference.
Longaberger basket is probably worth $100+ !!?
I vote for the green toparary
yay

The green one.
It does look like the 100 acres woods! 😊 what a wonderful way to honour the printing of an old book - by showcasing each beautiful print in a frame. Loved the green topiary best the other one just looked too busy and lost against the backdrop.
Love the flips especially the book and frame. If you mod poge or use white glue slightly watered down it gives the pages a oil painting effect. 😊
So pretty the metal cake stand
I think either topiary ball works but the green shows up against the silver plate better.
Thank you Lynn! I'm glad you liked it!
Very pretty and creative
Thank you Judy!
Price the tulips at $12. You can always reduce it after a few weeks if there are no bites.
Good point
@@DesertDIY *I agree, Cory! It wouldn't hurt to put a sign next to the tulips that says, "Beautiful tulips that look FRESH long after real ones fade away and die! Economical AND forever gorgeous!"*
*Sometimes you just need to make people stop and think in order to realize they are getting the "look" they desire AND saving money in the long run. 😊🌷🌷🌷*
Really neat flips -don’t think I could pick a favorite!
That basket is more than $20.00 if it was bought at a high end store 😮 it’s beautiful !! ❤❤
Your talent continues to grow, I enjoyed it very much.
Gracias por todo lo que nos compartes, me encanta hay personas que dicen que no te lo compran, pero ni lo hacen, ni lo valoran y no disfrutan tengo tiempo queriendo pintar una mesa y un taburete, yo me pregunto ustedes como padres a que hora se dan el tiempo para todo esto tiempo para niños para comer, para bañarse, para las labores de la casa compras y en el caso de tu esposo seguir estudiando, tu siempre tan coqueta y limpiecita, encima de todo el tiempo que ocupan el grabar un video, los admiro sigan adelante, me paso tan agradable las tardes viendo tu material bendiciones y un fuerte abrazo para la familia excelente equipo, no hagas caso de la gente fea.
