I hope you enjoy this video and get a few new ideas on how to repurpose things you already have! Are you going to give any of them a try?

This video is like a beautiful magazine that I want to keep to hand to browse over and over.

I appreciate your respect of vintage items as opposed to reinventing with so many dollar store replacements. The useful repurposing of old items and objects from nature is so much more organic and classy.

I love your style...reuse, repurpose, redecorate, take things out of storage and display, and bring nature in. Your home is so charming, thanks for sharing it with us.

I love the three green painted tins, with the pictures of herbs.

No way I could pick ONE of your ideas to thank you for. Each and every one is precious, and I know i will spend the rest of my days applying as many as I can to my family's abodes. Your style is uniquely and absorbingly YOU.

Sherry, I've been doing this for years...didn't know it was a "thing"...I was just being thrifty! I don't have a yard but my fiance has a beautiful home on several acres, so I get my greenery, pinecones, and other fun things that drop from the trees at his house. He thinks I'm a bit nuts, but I love it. Thank you for a great video!

My favorite the old door on top of the washer dryer. ❤️❤️❤️. My mother loved to rearrange her furniture. I too love to switch accessories. Thank you for so many great ideas.

I love this video. Using things you already have or moving items around is a great idea. Always makes me feel like I've bought something new.

Hi Sherry. I don't see any project that I don't love!!! This style of video is my favorite! I love small or older items being remade. Your ideas are the most unique on YouTube ❤️

[maryw]

I really love your channel. I was feeling depressed and watching you do makeovers of items really made me feel good and made me want to do things myself. Thank you for having such a great channel!!

I have watched this particular video a couple of times - usually just for inspiration!! Then I go and move something in my apartment. lol. I have made many candles over the years. A couple of tips are... Put an old nylon or knee high nylon over your hand and rub your candle or taper candle. It removes small bumps and nicks as well as accumulated dust and makes the candle shiny - provided you buff it enough with the nylon sock. Also for candles that are melting uneven or have set up uneven or have a nick or notch on them using a heat gun to smooth out the surface works well. I also have an old electric fry pan that i turn on low to melt the bottom of candles to make them even. Once I melt off a little wax I can even roll the candle in it, for a rough finish that makes the candle smooth again. Thanks Sherry!!

I just found your channel the other day. What I especially love is how you show your collections and transformations. Last, but not least, is the enjoyment I get from listening to your tutorials. You speak softly and video your items slowly. Looking forward to the next one. TFS

My cats and I watch your videos to listen to your beautiful smooth voice. It puts us to sleep it’s so calming.

I have an old outdoor lantern I haven't used and I was going to donate it to Charity, but after seeing what you did with yours, I am reconsidering giving it away. I am going to try to do the same. Thank you for the inspiration and ideas!!

I have done the picture frames. I made 18 in white or black for my Granddaughters and Great grand daughters. Then I painted flowers with butterflies, put some flower peddles for wings and on the glass some more of them. Some little ants on the bottom going along. They are so so cute. Love all your work.
