ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This week I'm giving you a home tour of my fave thrifted items, which I have flipped, upcycled, or remixed to repurpose for something other than their intended purpose. Hope it gives you some inspiration.

Not gonna lie, love that I know most of the items you shared. I’ve become an official Laugh Cry DIY creeper 😂

@carolinejane8145 6 месяцев назад

Me too 😂

I appreciate that because I was like, “oh no, they’ve all seen these and are gonna be bored.”

⭐️🐈 Love how your brain reworks stuff! Do stepchildren count as 'thrifts'? I tried to re-purpose mine (and my own sprog- no favouritism) as useful household items that cleaned and fixed stuff, but someone called the police🤷‍♂️

Your remote-holder just shows that your brain works brilliantly different than hours. Thats such a crazy-good idea 🙂

@LaughCryDIY 6 месяцев назад

Originally I wanted it to be a shell (and it may still end up that way). But some things just speak to me…like shower rings 😂

@estherwolf110 6 месяцев назад

I am always repurposing finds. Old 2 man crosscut saw for a curtain rod Thick, vintage bed covers for draft and light excluding door curtains A vintage steamer trunk into a composting toilet A tall and skinny bedside table for a bathroom sink stand An old door behind the cooker instead of tiles A wooden gate rescued from a woodpile for a headboard And much, much more!

@LaughCryDIY 6 месяцев назад

OK I love these!!!! I am especially fond of rescued doors and gates. In Paris, I saw an old art nouveau gate that I would have robbed a bank for.

@hnek 6 месяцев назад

I am v curious about the composting toilet steamer trunk myself... I feel like there are some truly tasteless jokes to be made

I repurposed a piece of flat white stone as a candle stand, a square piece of marble ceramic as a mousepad and a piece of flat wood to place all my creams on top.

Ok I love those, and the marble mousepad is genius! I may steal that for office makeovers!!!!

@carolinejane8145 6 месяцев назад

It’s good to see that you’re using these things. My favourite things are the spice rack and the apothecary cabinet with the palm tree bookends getting an honourable mention. Unfortunately I am the grim reaper when it comes to plants, so I’ll never need plant stands.

@LaughCryDIY 6 месяцев назад

Haha. Spoiler: half of my plants are fake. I feel the same, and my place is actually quite low light.

@harveythepooka 6 месяцев назад

Tons of good ideas! I wish those light remotes weren't so ugly or so small. I always lose them but also don't want to put them somewhere I have to see them, lol.

@LaughCryDIY 6 месяцев назад

I feel you on that!

@SM-ov5rf 6 месяцев назад

Hooray for new Laugh Cry DIY content! I can’t think of obvious thrift reimaginings, however I do use vases to display feathers (peacock or Australian ibis, and branches. I’m seldom given flowers and this way I can keep vases out

@LaughCryDIY 6 месяцев назад

I have peacock feathers too! (Didn’t show them in this vid though.) I love ‘em. I had to look up Ibis, as I’d never heard of them. Very cool. I also always want bouquets around. I’ve been wanting to do make some epic paper flowers so that I can keep them out full-time. Maybe a future episode...

@musictheorywithmalia 6 месяцев назад

LOVE all of these. That umbrella stand turned planter is sooooo cute! Here's my thrift flip: using an urn as a vase for flowers :D

@LaughCryDIY 6 месяцев назад

I love that too!

@melaniepeters4744 6 месяцев назад

Fun video! Lots of fun tips. The umbrella holder reminded me of the peacock rug you painted.

@LaughCryDIY 6 месяцев назад

Totally. They’re a nice pair.

@bodicegoddess 6 месяцев назад

Love the napkin holders as file folders! I have a brass napkin holder on my desk for my multiple laptops - makes it easy to switch from work to school machines.

@LaughCryDIY 6 месяцев назад

Oooh! That is so smart too! I never thought of that.

@joanipicard408 6 месяцев назад

I use over-sized coffee mugs from the thrift store as planters. I have also used an outdoor tin fence flower planter inside; lined with a zip lock bag of dirt with a heart leaf philodendron. It hangs on a nail on a kitchen wall.

@LaughCryDIY 6 месяцев назад

Oooh! Love those!

@jadestone8552 6 месяцев назад

Wait! I watch every one of your episodes, so how did I miss Alaska and the store tour?

@LaughCryDIY 6 месяцев назад

Haha. Well, I appreciate it. I guess surprise for you! Haha.

@Sergeant-of-the-crossing-guard 6 месяцев назад

I inherited an umbrella stand and put a small wooden round on top. PERFECT next to my reading chair in a corner where a “regular” table wouldn’t fit. I appreciate how you have seen the good in the items you have found and not covered them in baking soda+paint to dupe something from Pottery Barn 🙄

@LaughCryDIY 6 месяцев назад

I love to hear this! Hahah. Admittedly, I’ve baking soda painted a few pieces-but never for a pottery barn dupe. 😂😂😂😂 I can’t do beige.

Wait, the green tropical in office or the black and white in living room?

@heathercraven-sw6is 6 месяцев назад

Hi Katy! From one maximalist to another, I love the tasteful color explosion in your home! I feel like my home is more of a sh*t show of color that doesn’t always look “blended” or “cohesive”. Your ideas are super helpful on how to make spaces look eclectically interesting and less chaotic! 😂 I love your closet office and the apothecary cabinet flip! I look forward to seeing more! Thank you!

@LaughCryDIY 6 месяцев назад

From one maximalist to another, I love to hear it! Tbh I’d much rather have colorful chaos than a sad beige home.

Candlesticks as bookends - so pretty! I love it.

@LaughCryDIY 2 месяца назад

@marierose6792 6 месяцев назад

Love your video. I do the same. I moved into an all white painted apartment. In the space between the kitchen cupboards and the ceiling, I displayed settings of plates, jugs and cups etc in the greens and blues to set a colour scheme. Spacing each grouping is important. I put little hidden lights and I get a WOW from everyone who enters. All found or bought in thrift stores and discount stores.

@LaughCryDIY 6 месяцев назад

I love that! And I kinda want to see a pic if you want to send to katy@laughcrydiy.com

@margielee2088 6 месяцев назад

So glad I'm short and round because if I was tall and skinny I would have to worry about you seeing me and trying to turn me into a plant stand. Lol. Love how your mind works.

I glued crystal knobs under my thrifted trays to give them some hight and glam. I love how they look.

Yay! Yes, Mr. Elephant has moved around the apartment a few places! (I still don’t have a name for him-any ideas?) Thank you so much for sending him my way! By the way, two of him would also be a great bookend. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@missellie1 Месяц назад

My great aunt gave me a plant stand in the shape of an elephant, and I've used it as an end table for a decade now. Every apartment, dorm room, house I've lived in, it's come with me. Last year, I found its twin on goodwill's website, and I had to buy it. Now I have two elephants on each side of my recliner, just like the lion statues from Between the Lions.

@LaughCryDIY Месяц назад

I LOVE to hear this. This is my dream with cheetahs or maybe even camels. I love plant stands like that.

@tngirlz4622 6 месяцев назад

Oh 100%. The way she loves to hop up on the ironing board and sit on the stacked clothes. 😂

@marthadueck6461 6 месяцев назад

I also use all kinds as things for plant stands or a book stand. Every one laughs at me because I’ll take something and diy it. If I need something to do a display at the thrift store where I work I’ll go around the store till I find an item of two to put together for me to use. My house is mostly all DIYs.

@LaughCryDIY 6 месяцев назад

I love to hear that! I always thought displays sounded so fun.

@hnek 6 месяцев назад

i love the file/napkin holders. I know I have repurposed stuff why can't I think of any!? My brother's stand up bass fell down some stairs and broke, so I used some pieces of it to make little hanging shelves. I still have parts of it in the garage waiting for another inspiration.

@LaughCryDIY 6 месяцев назад

RIP to the bass. That’s a good fix tho. I’m trying to think about what else it could be used for 🤔

@heidibee501 6 месяцев назад

Very fun. I got some good ideas as l always do here. Thanx and enjoy your personlized treasures. Remember Lisa Lamp? I have my own version and it is our night light, with its welcoming red bulb.

Oysters! dip in middle (cocktail sauce). Getting ready to launch my new business - vintage piece candles so they can be used for other things when the candle is gone.

@LaughCryDIY 6 месяцев назад

Oh!!! That makes sense. And I adore candles like that! Best of luck for it. Tell me when it’s up and running.
