3 Totally Wrecked Trash To Treasure Makeovers 

You need to write a book! Include excerpts from your grandmother’s scrapbook and tales from the foster kids, etc. Maybe wait until your husband graduates. 😊❤

Loved everything you did. I don't understand why your items aren't selling as they are beautiful. Such a lovely tribute to your grandmother 💗🌷

Thank you four backstory, I wondered how you got started. The story about your grandmother is so special,God gave us a special gift with grandparents. Please keep her alive in your heart. Thanks again😢 for your channel.

I love Trading Spaces!! That was such a fun show!! Remember the cheap budgets they had?! Thank you for sharing your journey and your grandma’s influence on your life.❤

I love the bee board with the china!! ❤❤❤

I recently found your channel and am enjoying your videos. Your tag line “We can make that” reminded me of my beloved sister, Gaye. We would see an idea and say to each other “we can make that” and then have the fun of tracking down the supplies needed. Maybe ten percent of the projects were completed-the enjoyment for us was the shopping for the materials.

That hutch 😮😢 definitely a diy that was incomplete or maybe just gone really wrong. 😂🤣I’m so happy that it found its way to you to save. You have such vision,creativity and talent.

Glad to hear you're upgrading your PPE 👏 As a mom of one, I'm so impressed by how productive you are with four!

I agree with going to school and working. Years ago, I was a full time student, studying to be a nurse. 5 days a week, them I had to work 2 12 hour shifts on the weekend. I did this while being a single mom of 4. My mom was so awesome, I couldn't have done it without her.

I loved Trading Spaces!!! The top that just happened to fit the unique table was so fortunate! Love the last project with the plates. Great video!

All amazing flips but the plate holder is my favorite!

Fabulous piece, the handles are everything!🎉😅❤

These are my favorites. Trash to treasure ❤❤❤ I love the story about your grandmother. That is awesome. Tha table is awesome. That was the best thing when your table top fit!!!

The plate holder is beautiful. Love the plates also.

How cool that your Grandma kept a renovation scrapbook! I was in Lowe's last week lamenting how expensive paint has become... These were all really interesting projects--I do love a Trash to Treasure challenge. You certainly do have the "eye" when it comes to seeing potential, and my favorite from this episode is the beadboard China holder.

Love all 3!

I agree! I Love the old days and old ways. PS your projects turned out sooo goood🎉😅❤

I love how everything turned out. You and your husband are such hard workers. Nice memories of you and your grandmother. I have a grown granddaughter that loves my classic traditional style. I noticed she has copied my paint choices. I remember Trading Spaces. The one that stands out when the female designer made a backsplash out of wine labels for a Mormon couple that did not drink😩

Good job with the table. Ingenious!

Dear friends, love seeing how you work together to make your creative visions come to life. Talk about teamwork! Continued success in all that you do. ❤️2U

It was nice visiting with you again!! Love all the makeovers!!

I think your projects turned out great and perfect for your beautiful plates.

The wheels for the table are called casters. Love what you do!

Your Grandmother sounds like an amazing woman Cory! All of your projects look sooo good!! I love that little table and the top couldn’t have been more perfect for it!! Hope you have lots of sales this week!!🥰🥰🥰

Love the Hutch...those drawer pulls are gorgeous. Love that blue n gold platter. You always do an amazing job. Have a awesome week.

The hutch looksgreat with paint and new handles! The table for your booth worked out wonderfully!! I love beadboard!! Your playes looks lovely on the display unit!! It's amazing how we pick up certain likes and hobbies from our grandparents!

I’m amazed how everything looks!! Thanks for sharing that shellac comes in a can. I have some spray, but my piece is already inside. It’s a huge dining room table and it has a stain where my son-in-law put down a can and it rusted and left this bluish stain. I love your laugh.

Hey Corey... You got a new haircut. Looks so nice!😅🎉❤

Thanks for showing how you showcase your vintage plates. All the more special because some pieces were your grandma's. I would like to do something similar. I like mini plates but don't want a bunch of nail holes in the wall. Great idea!

I’m holding my breath while you’re painting so close to the garage door 😱

Enjoyed your story n the great job you did❤

Thanks for showing how you did your bead board and china wall decor. It is so pretty ! I love it!

I love the bead board display! Gorgeous❤

Your recycled pieces are great!! Love that mossy green and that table turned out so great with the retrofitted top!! A beadboard plate display? Brilliant!! I too loved Trading Spaces!! Real creativity comes to play when you are forced to make something from nothing or next to nothing!

What a treasure the book your grandma saved!!! She sounds amazing. Loved everything you restored - especially the table for your booth!

I love your "imperfect is perfect" attitude .... me too

Omg what an awesome job on the table and hutch

Love these. I just so enjoy your re dos. I also watched and loved Trading Spaces. I even still remember all the designers names, and the host Paige Page. Can’t wait to see your next projects.

I was worried you'd get paint on your garage door, lol! I'd call that little wheel piece a sleeve, it fits! That table and its top are a match made in heaven! Love your plate collection, thanks for the shellac tip! Yes, reposition stuff on your display pieces, if just to give them a fresh look. Love your channel, thanks for sharing and the tips! PS, loved hearing about your gram's record keeping and pics, she was so inspiring!

Really good flips today 👍

Another fun post . Love, love ,love that green hutch!

I love how encouraging you are! My neighbor and Ii used to dream about being on Trading Spaces. I don't think they would ever have gone all the way to Brownsville, Texas. 😊

Love the way the table top fit perfectly

Great video, especially love grandmas plates on the display wall!

Loved the hutch and the color is beautiful. How cool to find the perfect table top.

The projects turned out so nice!

Wow, Frankenhutch is right!! Hahaha! The transformed piece is absolutely beautiful. The drawer handles!! ❤️ Your reaction to the hoarded foldable table top fitting the gaming table was delightful! It came out great! The plates look so good on your beadboard piece! Great video. Bravo!

Your grandmother sounds like one heck of an amazing woman!! I’m not surprised you’ve been so inspired by her ❤❤

Great video. Thanks.

ABSOLUTELY a GREAT and INTERESTING VIDEO...

Trading Places!! Oh my word I haven't thought about them in years. They straw wall!! I would of cried!!

Love all the makeovers my favourite was the hutch what a difference.i agree with you years ago painting a room was way cheaper than wallpaper you could paint your room if you didn’t like it you would just paint over it not now paint is so expensive

For a quick and cheap lighting fix (?), you might try the push lights from Dollar Tree that you could stick on to illuminate the bottom shelf. Just a thought.

Hey, I like your style and agree, life is beautiful, imperfections and all. Namaste ☯️

Caulking tip was excellent advice👏👏👏

I have learned so much from you. Thank you for teaching us how to do this. It doesn't seem possibly the you moved into your home 2 years ago.

The piece turned out great . I would have bought it. Plus I liked the plate you had sticking out of the drawer . I would have bought that too.

I think everything is beautiful 🤩💯

Great job on the flips, yeah, lighting is a problem in my both as well, I don't have access to really any outlets. I have a plug in a plug, plugged into a plug, all sounds and looks so safe. I have added some lamps in my booth which does strategically help a bit.

I loved Trading Spaces! I would get Cottage decor magazines. Or Shabby Chic ones. I have quite a library of decorating books. I have a small room that I ought to make into a library.

Love these projects.

Love the plates. I have in my booth cream and blue covered serving dish, two plates, and matching platter. No one has bought them and think they are soooo pretty. I love the color combo.

Really enjoyed hearing about your Grandma and the creative legacy she left you.

I appreciate your husband's persistence and also that you worked together on the furniture, which turned out to be beautiful, again. My father comes from such a poor family that he had to work at 14. He became a turner's assistant. Then, as an adult, when I was born, he completed his high school diploma and college, because he always wanted to continue his education. He also worked full-time. What my parents went through is unbelievable for me, I am a spoiled millennial. :D

It’s always a pleasure to listen to you while you’re working…loved hearing how your grandmother inspired you.

I love your Trading Spaces memories. It’s one of the first decorating shows I watched as a young mom and it inspired me to decorate my home in my own style.

One could put a piece of moulding on the bottom horizontal 1x2 and on the center horizontal 1x2 to create plate rails. This would give the bead board item on the wall more plate display area in addition to those already mounted on it. Love your channel ❤️. From central WY.

Those handles are amazing

Even though my taste is very different from yours, I love your videos. You are so kind, real, approachable. I love your creativity. Thanks.

Great work, again.

That table would make a great kitchen island. That is what I do. I make antique tables into kitchen Islands with casters. I have my own( I got the first one) it is gorgeous. I am a primitive collector. ❤❤❤❤

the bookshelf would look good angled in the corner

New to your channel. Thanks for sharing and being real…😊

I love how you have taken the doors off the cabinet. I have that cabinet. The door is one door and there is wood scroll on the glass. The knobs are original and are big square knobs. I'm trying to refinish it. The wood is beautiful under all the crap . I mean someone glued tile on it.

You have become my new favorite.❤

Absolutely beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤

All projects were great but that plate display is just gorgeous!

Oh and I loved the story of you and your grandmother - so sweet! Thanks for sharing. Stay well. Chemical sensitivity is very wreak.

Charming narrative…love your videos!

Perfect! Perfect! ❤

Loved everything, but especially loved the plate display. Thank you for sharing the story about your Grandmother ❤

Thank you for sharing with us. I wish I had known your grandmother as we would have had a lot in common. My daughter has had an interior design business for about 11 years and has done something I wanted to do all my life. Love watching your videos!

Hell-o kiddo or should I say my fellow TEXAN!!

They are all so beautiful! Thanks for sharing, Corie ❤

Love your ideas!

Beautiful diy. Love the plates

Cory, I love your shows. All of the different ones whether you’re making crafts, stocking your store, going to bins, or redoing furniture! I love how you share your life with us. You are a very genuine, caring person. I’m so relieved that you wear the respirator; however, I worry for your eyes not being protected. When you were sanding the bondo on the first piece, I could see all the dust from the furniture & dried bondo flying into your face. Take care. You’re a lovely person. 🥰🥰🥰 PS I wrote this comment before I watched the part where you said you just purchased a full face mask! I’m very thankful you did that! 🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼

That's a lovely piece

My mama was that person. She was a single mom of two. Bought 14 acres of land, put in home. Cut down trees up until a couple of months when she died at 77. I have a hutch she and I refinished a month before she passed. It is soooooooo special to me. Love the story of your grandma! Memories are so special to hold onto. ❤❤❤

I adore your plates! I'm all about shabby chic and farm house decore also. Go figure, we live on a farmette, lol! I love your furniture over hauls! I prefer to use Dixie Belle on my personal furniture. That again goes to my shabby chic, farm house decor, lol! I'm really enjoying watching! ❤❤❤

I was watching and thinking that the white piece could use some caulk. And then you caulked it. Nice job!

Great video! Thank you.

Love your stuff the table is so cool and love trading spaces also😊!

Great projects!

id love to see her book! and the pictures! :)

My first gallon of paint cost me under $8! Yes, I walked into the local hardware store with a wooden puzzle piece in the shape of a pig , and said "here, I want a gallon of paint in this color, make it be so", and he did. I thought I was being a bit spendy, but I also thought it was glamorous. This was in the very late 80's, and it astounds me now to go for paint and spend close to a hundred dollars for a gallon of custom pain. And if I walked in now with that pig, I would be laughed RIGHT out of the store. I think your booth looks great! What's wrong with shoppers???

I use battery powered fairy lights ,candles ,and the candlesticks with a little gold base,which I paint,from the dollar tree. The dollar tree batteries last one month without turning them off. I just replace batteries the first of every month. I have also used rechargeable batteries too. Lighting makes a big difference. I also learned early on in booth retail,(started with 1 booth 23 years ago and have 4 now) that packing them full and I mean full and having baskets of small baggies of jewelry or stickers or drawer knobs or boxes with art that people have to step into your space to look thru makes them feel like they are treasure hunting. I have sold thousands of $2-$5 magnets of miniature kitchen utensils (tea kettles whisks,mixers,cheese graters, rolling pins ) people love all things miniature! I have 4-6 boxes, baskets or spinning displays that people have to rotate to see what is on each side in every booth. When you think your booth is full add 50 more things. You CAN do it without it looking cluttered. Also use those risers you love so much to create dimension and space for more stuff. People won’t step into your space if they can see everything from the isle.

You Grandmother sounds like my kind of people (as we say here in North Carolina). What good memories and what a good keepsake that scrapbook type record is for you. I am probably as old as your grandmother would be and I do remember when you knew your neighbor and when you helped each other. I grew up on a tobacco farm and we ‘swapped’ labor with the neighbors. We helped them on their ‘barning’ day and they helped us on ours. No time was kept and no money changed hands-we just helped each other. Corey, I wish you were my neighbor. You could help me decorate and I could babysit for you because I have children, but no grandchildren. I love when you talk about your family history and I love everything you and your husband do. What your husband is doing is HARD. I was married and had 2 children by age 19. A freak accident made me an uneducated widow at age 24. So, for the next ten years I worked, went to school, raised children and tried to be mother and daddy to 2 small boys. And it was rough. That being said, I always admire young people trying to better themselves with education! I love to hear you talk about your Grandmother and tell those special stories. Your beadboard rack is special and so pretty. Love all the displayed pieces. Sorry for the bio, just really related to a lot of what you were saying. Good luck with rearranging your booth!

Awesome

Mine was watching Christopher Lowell. He wrote books to. He was a set designer. He got me interested
