A tip, when you want to use a "pop of color", but want to play it a bit safe and appeal to a wider audience, ALWAYS go green! A soft sage works for many. Regardless of if you go dusty, pastelly or bright
@@MrIljuha2000 Not really? Green is the only "color" that is also a neutral. Primary colors like red, blue and yellow are very strong and many ppl prefer neutrals. (white, beige, brown, grey, black...and green)
I know some people call it monopoly money because all our bills are different colors but it makes it so much easier to not mistake 10$ from a 20 or 50 like with US money
missing those sorry girls videos where it was becky against kelsey! a og sorry girls vs new sorry girls will be super fun! following this series of profit for non-profits! love your content!
My studio tutor used to buy wood glue/PVA in bulk and put them in those kitchy ketchup bottles. It meant using less plastic, it was cheaper, and you could refil the ketchup bottles so it was easier to squeeze as there was less air in the bottle. Hope that helps!
This feels pretty fun and reminds me of some of the older SorryGirl content. Kinda wish through that here was a bit of a rough estimate for the free from the store room stuff to give a better idea of the actual profit
I totally agree, not all of us have a store room stocked with things, and would likely have to buy all these things like paint glue etc if I ever wanted to attempt something like this
I'd paint them a different color although the blue is cute it reminds me of a kids room or fun house. The other ones looked so expansive you totally could have sold for more but it was a very good profit. You could totally do them again in a light stone color I'm sure they'd sell fast
My thoughts, I knew that the glass table would sell immediately because it was a unique piece and the color could go with almost any home. The first one with the pop of color, no matter how much work was put into it, still looked a bit plain. Excited to see the next projects in this series!
Love this new concept! I also just came up with another series you could do. Have subscribers send you a blueprint of diy they come up with and you make it. Not just sending an inspo pic, but actually just an idea. I have so many ideas all the time, but not the skill to actually figure out how to execute.
A great non profit is A Home For Hooves Farm Sanctuary! It’s is a forever home for abandoned and rescued farm animals on Vancouver Island, BC. This place has a massive place in my heart. We’re raising money for a new property to accommodate the influx of animals we’ve had since another local sanctuary closed down.
LOoOooOoVE THIS NEW SERIES! Would be great to set a “profit goal” for the year and work all X amount of episodes to see if you achieve it in all episodes or in less than you estimated.
I seriously love Rachel and the way she explains and walks through things but this video seems to have a lot more personality in it! And I love it her videos in the past seemed stiff so I’m so glad to see her shine in this video and hope this energy stays !!!❤
Rachael might be the most charming person I've encountered. She's like a real life fairy building furniture and designing decor items and her videos feel almost magical and it makes them so fun and inspiring to watch!
I actually really hoped you’d pick lavender for the lacquer tables! I would have loved that in my own place! Both turned out great, amazing work as always!
I got a super cute dressing table for free and my brother's Dad painted it for me and that's the color I picked. My mom thought I was crazy but it came out so good that she complimented me after 😉
Great concept for videos. love that you are donating the profits while still giving us tips and best practices. I can’t wait to continue watching more videos like this.
Love the idea of this series! A non profit I’d like to mention is Retiti Elephant Sanctuary in Kenya. It’s a community owned Sanctuary that takes in orphaned and abandoned elephant calves, with the goal of being able to release them again
Yesss... I love to see diy upcycling projects!!! The creativity to see something old reimagined is so much fun!! So happy to see a dedicated series for this concept. Yayyy 💕😊👏
I love the colour of the turquoise tables! A potential nonprofit to support is The Couchiching Conservancy in Orillia, Ontario. They protect forests and wetlands in the region, safeguard habitat for wildlife and also have a bunch of nature reserves with public trails (also no cost to walk the trails). 😊🌿
Love the series! As for a suggestion for a non profit, I would suggest "Laughing at my nightmare". It provides equipment to people living with spinal muscular attrophy and other disabilities. The founder has also a RU-vid channel with his wife, called squirmy and grubs. I love them and the charity does so much good work! :)
I think you chose well on the color. My suggestion is to see what colors are trending in the stores and go with that. Right now, aqua is a popular color, or pick a color that goes with the era that the piece of furniture will fit.
Rachel!! I love this episode for so many reasons. first, it's you and you are awesome. second, the idea of upcycling with what you have is so on brand for the Sorry Girls.And for a good cause I know you will find the right one. I hope women's shelter of some kind or women's health care. PP or something similar. Thanks for inspiring me to think first before I make a purchase. Your channel has helped with me with that when it come to my home design. To reuse.
Oh my gosh those tables just transported me back in time! I’m sureeee we had these in my 90’s childhood home, they were supposed to have some fabric table cloth under the glass to cover the cheap unfinished mdf base 😅 I can’t be the only one to remember this?!
Some excellent ideas! I like the white better for the glass top coffee tables. As for the blue-ish table, it’s very pretty but not a universal colour. The fashion now is the natural beech wood look with a darker varnish contrast - maybe the legs be natural beech wood and the top is darker ?
I'm looking forward to this series. I have one thought about the glass tables. When plastering I would have held the top piece next to the tube so that the texture would be cohesive above & below the glass. All of the tables look great!
I hope the buyers won‘t get mad when they see what the items cost to make 😅 I like the mdf tables, i hope you get a good price for them. The problem is mdf furniture is so common (so ikea), it would take something really unique to generate more interest in them. One idea would be to add a detail that would give the tables an additional function. I suggest a small hole on a corner of each tabletop where you can fit in a small glass container that can serve as a flower vase.
I don't see why you'd be mad that someone didn't spend much on the materials for your tables... 1. They're paying for the work to make them, plus the creativity to design them 2. everything she got for free would have to be paid for if they wanted to make the tables themselves
Honestly I don't want to say this because I know that is not the point of this video- but your labor is worthwhile. People need to remember to add a charge in for that.
Fantastic episode! I'll definitely be following the series. Both designs are superb. My favorite nonprofit causes: Planned Parenthood, Doctors without Borders, Habitat for Humanity.
I love Habitat for Humanity, too! It would be fun to see the Sorry Girls volunteer at one of their builds for the duration of a house build! Or help thrift and style full rooms in one of their houses!
OMG... I had to stop at 11:54 to tell you... My sister has had a solution for the limited colors of corresponding spray paint to other modes in her head for so long! She owns her own prop rental company, "Make A Scene Rentals" and the struggle of the pandemic has never afforded her the time and resources to capitalize on her idea... BUT she has always said she would love to share the idea with other 💖women💖 who could make it happen... I think that is The Sorry Girls! Have a groovy day, the big sister.
Great job! Love the tables. Canadian Alzheimer’s Society is am organization that needs more recognition & donations. This tragic Disease has hit my family hard and it’s been tough seeing my mom suffer.
I loved all these tables and would gladly have them in my home. The wooden tables I would of added dried flowers to the legs and a few on top to the outer part of the circle xx
Love the concept of this series! I'm an avid fb marketplace shopper with aspirations of flipping items but struggle with inspiration. Thank you for the motivation!
This series is nothing short of brilliance, a testament to a captivating concept seamlessly woven into perfection, leaving no room for anything but admiration and awe. The synergy it exudes is remarkable, a harmonious union that effortlessly enthralls, making it a match made in the heavens of creativity.
Love this series! I would like to echo the suggestion of the Open Medicine Foundation. They do much research into diseases that have been neglected for decades like ME/cfs, fibromyalgia, chronic Lyme and long covid currently joined the ranks. The burden of these diseases is incredibly high on those suffering. Thank you for considering💚
Omg you guys should do a series like the trading a Bobby pin series, but every time you trade you upcycle the item and then trade for an item that needs upcycling. Maybe there can be an end goal?
Ok hear me out. Repaint those tables in the mushroom aesthetic that's so popular rn. Beige shroom legs and a rich red top. 🍄 🍄 Or slightly more muted red and go neutral nursery vibes
The lacquered tables are such a pretty color. I know it's an aesthetic, but making things genuinely look valuable might be an issue for this series. The lamps from previous videos would probably do well, but it's harder to sell stuff that looks like particle board or plastic, even if it's cute.
I really enjoy this series and I love that the money is getting donated! Please do more because it was so fun to watch. I like both of those styles of tables!
YESSS!!! I am SO here for this series!! What a great idea, Rachael! They turned out absolutely beautiful, and I hope you get a higher offer for those turquoise tables. Genius to end up creating TWO sets from the one original. I will be looking forward to the next video. The filming and editing was, of course, Sorry Girls quality: Perfection.
Great tables, the blue lacquer ones were more my taste so I'm surprised they didn't sell. I did see that you had priced them at $70 in the ad, so maybe that's why? Would prefer to have a conclusion to the project with how much they sell for in the episode but I kinda understand the want to upload quickly after a project is done. A charity dear to my heart is Ocean Conservation Namibia where they save seals trapped in ocean plastic. A small team who have already saved over 500 seals just this year! They have a RU-vid channel you could direct people to to help raise awareness too
What a great idea for a series! Love it. It was so creative and resourceful to buy two tables and make four, and the end result is so good! I look forward to seeing your next project!
Go to an art store which sells spray paint to graffiti artists. They have way more selection at least here in the us. I had a project and my local art store had at least 20 gray spray paint colors. Then get a lacquer clear coat finish.
The Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund! Their goal is aims to build cultural understanding and create a path toward reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in the land we call Canada. The goal is to improve the lives of Indigenous people by building awareness, education, and connections between all peoples in Canada.💜💜 we also have a program called Legacy Spaces!
I'm going to enjoy this series. Rachael is a hoot (sorry, oldie here) and I laughed in recognition at the overthinking. Really nice that you tell us the details, like sanding between coats!
The two black tables would have looked cool with a light inside pointing upwards, then the light would come out like a round glow from under the smaller circle ontop of the glass. Oooh one of those colour changing light would have been amazing.❤
Love this new series and both sets of tables. Would love to see a series where you four pair up and battle each other with different DIY or interior design challenges.
I'm totally down when it comes to upselling thrifted items... But imo selling found/free items for profit feels wrong to me. Someone could have gotten that for free and might have needed it for free. Just some food for thought, love you girls!
