DIYing *THAT* frame tv for under $35?! 

New products are great, but we need more patches, too.

This is genius! Love the DIY and the video♥ It was right of you not to replace the TV. So happy for you!

Gorgeous! Nice work as always!

How’s this before lockdown in the new office/studio? Not that I care, or will shame you for shopping/filming whatever was the reason of the comment, but I’m legit confused

@@bibshot1989 there is a new lockdown in Toronto since last week

Bruh, I’m like...actually disgusted.

And they're ageists!!

😂😂😂😂

Right?!?! "Internet people" make me sad.

I didn’t even notice. Lol🤣🤣

I finally retired my 2008 TV to the bedroom. still very happy with it (even tho it weighs as much as my car).

Omg yes! 👏🏼👏🏼

The TV of my parents is over 16 years old. It's one or the fat ones that are as wide as they are long 😂

TV? What tv? I sent the last one to Goodwill. Good riddance.

Yeeeeeesssss

Ikr I'm so glad she didn't buy a new one

I feel the same way

Right just because not latest model. My husband and I still have the TV we bought with wedding money still working and 11 years old.

I agree so much. I can't believe people were actually being critical of the TV in the first place. I'm obsessed with technology too but I hate throwing things out just because they're old. That's so wasteful.

*Me writing with a total crash of a phone* : agreed!

Right? So crazy When i bought a "new" tv (my ex took our old one when he moved out) i just bought an "old" model, the model/design was literally only 2 years old, brand new flat smart tv for only 300$ because it is considered ugly and old fashioned I can't belive people spend 2000$ on that tv

@@trishpipkins yeaah i do't get it. I'm writing in an 11 year old computer that works perfectly fine... what's the deal with HAVING to replace everything?! if it works, you use it, if not, you try to repair it. If not possible, THEN you buy a new one.

@@trishpipkins I know right. If I want to upgrade I either gift it, donate or sell it and I buy second hand when i can. I upgraded my TV but only because of size because 20" was too small but I had another use for my old one. Upgrading for no reason and just chucking it away is so wasteful

I’d go in a different direction and make it steampunk

@@LaSa1 👍😂😂 yep, go for it and make it a real feature in itself- could end up the size of a small caravan 😊😊

At that point it'd be a shelf

@@olbird7647 depends on the size of the tv lol

I've been using the same TV for eight years. It's older and a little small but it still works perfectly.

One of my monitors is around 11 years old and its still going strong. I was going to replace it with my shiny 4k one but then i decided to keep it bc it still works and its just more convenient having 2 i think

Our TV died like two months ago but we had no plans to replace it if it hadn’t broken. We had it for six years which apparently is the shelf life for modern TV’s???

right? Me and my bf using also tv which is very old, not super thin, but it works and it is totally okay. 💖also, I love her 😁

It’s great to hold on to things. I have clothes from 4 decades ago. I like holding on to stuff. My mum claims it’s the Scottish in me. But sometimes, especially with electronic equipment, stuff becomes incompatible. Then it won’t work and it’s darn near impossible to get parts for repair. And it can become more expensive to keep old stuff going than to just go ahead and buy new. The pace of technology is actually accelerating. I don’t particularly like it, but given that it allows us to have not just new, but better equipment and systems, it’s hard to insist that companies forgo better technology in service of longevity. As consumers we should require the companies we buy electronic products from to create more environmentally friendly recycling systems. The newer ultra-thin TVs aren’t just sleek and sexy. They are more energy efficient and because they are lighter they require less fuel to ship----also less packaging. Their lighter weight and smaller depth means they are less of a strain on walls and floors too. Not that it is that big a difference. Those in areas of the world that are prone to lots of small earthquakes, especially those who live in high rises, might care about this feature. Newer TVs are also internet ready. That’s not a big deal if you have phones, laptops, etc that are all capable of accessing the web. Not everyone lives this way and for now the majority of the population still feels that having a TV is more important than internet access. I’d argue for both and for everyone to have an antenna so that their TV will receive over the air signals. I held on to my last mobile for 4 or 5 years, but newer technology convinced me to replace it. Having a new phone has improved my health and given my family greater peace of mind. My latest phone can read my blood sugar ( I have insulin dependent diabetes). It may not seem like that big a deal, but it really is. For one thing, it’s much easier for someone else to use my phone to take a blood sugar reading than to use my glucometer. My phone also allows my readings to be uploaded just about anywhere I am so that my doctors and my family have real time info on how I’m doing. Older systems that required cable attachment to upload readings had much lower utilization rates. Most of the time, it isn’t necessary to have this information but it provides peace of mind to those who care for me. So far I’ve been fortunate in that I’ve never lost consciousness while I have been alone, but there have been times I’ve passed out and was utterly incapable of helping myself. My phone stores health information that is helpful to both my family and EMTs. Another wonderful aspect of this technology is that it allows literally millions of people with diabetes to provide data to researchers. This technology permits much larger sample sizes for studies, much larger than could ever be conducted in person. There are reasons to have the latest technology besides the cool factor. I actually don’t know how old any of my TVs are, but none of them are internet ready. If a TV comes out that improves telehealth visits, I’ll probably be an early adopter.

Same! 😂

Me too!

Me three! 😀

You’re very observant, I didn’t even think of that I was just along for the makeover ride lol 😆

Yes! I was so ready to ask about the remote issue. Very glad Becky commented.

This DIY would vibe SO well with our vintage art slideshows for tv. :)

Uhm I’m sure she could’ve re sold it someone or donated it to someone that could it. Highly doubt people just toss them.

@@dansteinsdorfer9848 ... don't bet on it. People simply don't want old TV's now. I bought a new smaller one for my condo, and I couldn't give my old one away. At least where I live they can be recycled.

@@dansteinsdorfer9848 I’m pretty sure they do. Unfortunately either not a lot of people know how to responsibly dispose of electronics, or they just don’t care enough to find out.

Maybe the whole idea was to show how things can be achieved when you don't have lots of money or all those tools I think it's a Good thing to show America Again that You Don't need the Latest & Greatest Tools to Achieve Great Designs by Using the Brain & thinking a little Harder as to How to Create Unique Quality Outcomes without Spending Every dime in Your Piggy Bank... You Rock Becky Most of All You Make Girls Realize Dreaming can be achieved with Thinking & Creativity

happy thanksgiving to all our American friends!! 🎉

@SrUsHtI _ AnAnD you should start a friendsgiving with your friends after Covid goes away! Have fun trying to make recipes with one another and sit down eating it all together😊

@SrUsHtI _ AnAnD don't feel too bad, thanksgiving food might be nice but the origin of the holiday is hella bleak and problematic. it's not exactly a fun day for native americans.

@@teapotlizard So glad it's evolved into a loved ones appreciation day.

I don’t think it’s shaming.. she asked about the look of her fireplace and people genuinely pointed out that the TVs edged throw it off. There ads plenty of tv’s out there for $200 or less. She was just using the most expensive one on the market now. It’s not really a big deal that people brought it up, in my opinion.

@@dansteinsdorfer9848 $200 is still a lot of money

@@dansteinsdorfer9848 you do know it was sarcastic

Ooooooo, what kind of trim are you going to use 4:52? Double mat or single mat?

Juana J Puthenparambil Yes they are pretty ! & I Love The streaks in Becky's hair !

He’s like “if I can just squeeeeeeze my head through *pop* then I can gets all the loves”. My Rottie does the same thing. Her head fits perfectly in the space between my desk chair’s arm and back and she will shove her head in there when she thinks I’ve been working too long.

I want a doggie so bad 😫😭

The cutest dog.

I did 4 years of art and cutting mat was always my least favorite part 😬

Same! Instant flashbacks.

Sameeee! Art school flashbacks!! Ughhh and when you push too hard and end up with a slight curve in the mat!🤦

When I would mess up one of my bevels and have to start over 😭

See I would always over cut at the corners OR miscalculate (we couldn’t use calculators & math and I had beef) and end up having to start all over again 🙃

speed square

Was about to comment the same! Becky drop your hair routine

Right? Like I’ve always envied her hair because mine is stick straight and won’t grow past my collarbone.

All the time and water I've wasted cleaning out paint trays before they dry.

That's the one my family has too not dynex but the first hd tvs too

Yes please

Omg please do it I need help as well

Yess please

ohhhh a storage themed video is SO needed!!!! help a fellow torontonian out
