The dress looks lovely on you.😅you did a great job on the chair and cover.

[maryglover]

The dress that you found looks and fits perfectly on you !😃

[carolflanery]

oh Mary. What I would give to have one more shopping day with my Mom. How blessed you are!

[patriciakumar]

Mary, you're one of my favorite artists on YouTube. Love, love, love all of your creations. You are much appreciated!

[dianastigberg]

I have covered cushions in the same way but duck taped the back to help keep it in place. When you want to change, it just comes right off and doesn’t hurt the cushion or materiel. I learned this from decorator Christofer Lowell years ago. 😊

My husband's parents owned an upholstery shop. They always used an electric bread knife to cut foam. I see them in the thrift shop fairly often. Might be worth a try. Keep up the lovely work!

Mary, your vision for making things fresh a new always amazes me.

The cart was truly a trash to treasure! With your wood working skills just about anything can be saved. We saved a wicker loveseat from someone's trash at the curb & now it's on our front porch. I would have bought the mirror too.

[deekeene]

You are so good at thrifting old things & turning in to something so lovely!!

[elizabethstrong]

I absolutely love all your finds today. It was wonderful to see that brief look at your mother. I do have to say the mug set was my favorite.

[barbarapark]

The barn wood slats and shelf look absolutely wonderful on the beverage cart. Inspiring as always, Mary!

[debbied]

Really liked how you put the barnwood in as shelves in the lil table. Always love your projects. Thanks for sharing!

Mary, I own two of those exact wicker chairs! I purchased them at least 45 years ago and was told by the elderly owner that they had been in her family since the early 1900s! Next time we re-paint them, I’ll use a pressure washer to remove the excess paint. Thanks for that information! Love your videos!

[catheymarker]

Thanks for the great ideas Mary! Everything turned out beautifully as usual!

[kaytiej]

I am always impressed at your ability to have a vision for each piece, subtracting and adding as needed, seeing beyond the initial surface and use. Very pleasing to watch and enjoy the end result.

"How would someone know I would like this striped fabric" says Mary wearing her striped shirt? Lol😊 Mary we know you....and your striped skirt too.

[phyllisthomas]

Mary, I use an electric handheld meat cutter that I thrifted to cut foam. Easy peasy 😊

[cherylbaryo]

I use an electric knife to cut foam. It works well and I usually see the knifes at goodwill. 👍😊

Love the videos ❤

[artsyladie]

Suggestion, Mary. I've temporary wrap covered foam cushions with fabric several times, and I use some duct tape on back to temporarily secure it. Works great, and comes off just fine! I also found that wrapping the foam with a thin white batting helps the fabric look better, more cushy, less stiff, and foam color won't show through. Love your chair and cushion!💚🤍💚
