In this video, I demonstrate ten different ways to upcycle and elevate your thrift store finds, so that they can “reach their potential.” These methods include incorporating fabric, using ribbons and trims, adding natural elements, decoupaging (especially with inexpensive napkins), adding pretty paper, adding small embellishments (such as unique buttons), using rub on transfers or stickers, adding faux or real plants and flowers, and incorporating metallic accents. I will transform 10 of my own thrift store finds to show you how these ideas can take a thrift store item from so so to spectacular! Hope you enjoy the video and are inspired to try some thrift flips of your own!

I love the way you finish the back of your projects. I know no one ever sees the back, but it is so professional.

@CanterburyCottage Год назад

Thank you very much! Because I sold my DIY projects in a booth for many years, I always feel like the back should be finished, too!

You are like the queen of thrift flips. I love all of your ideas and some of them are such simple, easy ways to just completely change an item, but it's having the creativity to see beyond what's there and really create something brand new. Thanks for helping us save money and make our homes beautiful. God bless you!

@CanterburyCottage Год назад

Thanks so much 😊 I appreciate your kind comments so very much, Annie!

@jo-annmaruszak9885 Год назад

Interestingly… I see the branch with the butterflies in a modern home. Maybe another one could have bumblebees with flowers. Love your videos.

@christinemanka9411 10 месяцев назад

Love the decoupaged lamp, and the fabric covered frame. So pretty.,

@imaginempress3408 7 месяцев назад

@@CanterburyCottagenew subscriber. You should have been an art teacher. What is the best way to dust/clean your fabric and botanical creations?

@SueHawkins6816 Год назад

I think the lamp was the most dramatic transformation. I find it amazing that a combination of budget friendly supplies can yield such a change. I also enjoyed the wood bowl with the dried pressed blooms. I am a sucker for dried flowers.

@KennethJohnson-ng9fb Год назад

Hello Sue, how are you doing today

@lynnpelletier4321 Год назад

As I watch you work, there's is a smile on my face and I shake my head in awe of your creativity. Thanks for all that I've learned.

@norakager4098 Год назад

Decoupaged Lamp -Branch in frame - Wood Bowl with pressed Flowers STUNNING !!! Thank you for these beautiful creative ideas! You are a treasure dear lady. 🌸

@2222dw Год назад

I appreciate you - I have no idea how you come up AND complete all these projects,but I’m thrilled each week to see!

@CanterburyCottage Год назад

Thank you so much! Delaine, that is so very kind of you to say!

@patskelton4202 Год назад

I , too , Love the lamp , but I also love the wooden bowl ! I have some lovely dried flowers that I plan to use the same way.

@kathycagg6531 Год назад

I really like both the lamp and the fabric covered box. Sherry, you have a level of patience I don’t even aspire to!😊

@jojow8416 27 дней назад

You would have been over the moon if you had seen what our neighbors pulled out of their great grandmother's shed. I took home three amazing, but very rusty, French plant carts and stands. Then I noticed an arched metal arch with three rings for placing plants (not sure of the name) and with watching all your videos I knew I would find a purpose for it and now wish I had taken more of their stash that was put out for garbage. Your channel has sparked the creative part of my oh so damaged brain. Thank you for this renewed gift. You never know how you will touched another's life and you have dearly touched mine. God Bless.

@itzasunnyday4me Год назад

All great makeovers. I especially love the William Morris quote frame. Also loved the trick for gluing the lace on the basket.

@CanterburyCottage Год назад

Thanks so much, Anastasia! 😊

@christiannechase3353 Год назад

An "unfortunate" original paint job on the lamp? LOL! You are too kind! I LOVE the lamp--the finished product, and can't wait to try it!

@cathiespalding2083 Год назад

You always amaze me with your projects…love them all!

@margiebell6825 Год назад

I think my favorite was the towel covered metal file box. I would have never thought to cover it. Looked great!

@glennastumpff9720 Год назад

I love everything! The lamp is definitely my favorite, though. You never disappoint Sherry! Thank you for your amazing inspiration!

@kathrynshedd2730 Год назад

Sherry - you outdid yourself with the Blue and White decoupaged lamp. Bravo!

@michellesapp3992 Год назад

I love all your ideas. I wish you would consider helping your followers figure out how to decorate an area in their home. A good example ...a small corner or an odd shaped space. You are so good at coming up with unique and fun ideas.

@kamillsap3155 Год назад

Hard to pick a fav, but probably the polka dot lamp transformation and the plain wooden bowl w flowers! 🥰

@CanterburyCottage Год назад

Thank you! I really liked how the bowl turned out, too!

@shirleylum2198 Год назад

You are just amazing! I love all of today's up-cycled items.

@CanterburyCottage Год назад

Wow, thank you! You are so sweet, Shirley!

@Lizthinksaloud Год назад

The lamp was beautiful. Such a transformation and so high end. Absolutely stunning.

@melindashahan6836 5 месяцев назад

I love the butterfly branch. So cute! I love when you say, "from my stash". You've got so many great things in Your stash.

@necoragha65 Год назад

Such great ideas. Love what you did with the box and the frame with the branch. It's always a joy when you have a new post.

@cherylmacedo5521 Год назад

Another video of beautiful upcycled goodies. Yes, that lamp…💙🤍💙

@CanterburyCottage Год назад

Thank you, Cheryl! 🤗

@CB-pf7go Год назад

Amazing up cycled projects today my favorites are the wood bowl, the twig picture frame and the file box. Thank you so much for sharing all your wonderful ideas in your videos, I look forward to watching every week.

@libbylaurinitis2620 Год назад

Keep the butterflies, Sherrie, but put the twine covered branch in the recycle bin. Everything else was WOW!!!

@nitaline2483 Год назад

I am like a child in a candy store, just waiting for your videos. Thank you for being you.

@melissahyatt9626 Год назад

The lamp is beyond fabulous! I loved the bowl with flowers and the floral wall hook. The branch picture frame is awesome too (I just have no place to put it). Who am I kidding, I loved it all!! Thanks for making my Mondays!

@CanterburyCottage Год назад

Thanks so much! 😊 You are so sweet!

@elisabethdowd1869 Год назад

So many great ideas, Sherry. I'll never dismiss a thrift store lamp again! The lamp, the hook, and the framed floral branch are my top favorites.

@CanterburyCottage Год назад

Oh, thank you so much, Elizabeth! When I bought that lamp, Goodwill had a beige ginger jar type lamp for sale. I liked the ginger jar shape, but they wanted $25 for that lamp and only $3 for the polka dot one that I bought! 😜

@lillye5301 Год назад

Gorgeous projects! TFS. Blessings 💜🙏🏽

@CanterburyCottage Год назад

Thank you! You too!

@vbickel6109 Год назад

No way can I choose a favorite. Every. Single. One. Is. Awesome!!

@Southeastgeorgiapeach Год назад

Hi Sherry. I absolutely love blue and white things. The make over of the lamp is stunning! It is perfect to go with my blue and white pieces. Now for me to go thrifting for a lamp. Love every one of the other projects too! So many great ideas for unique decor! I will be hitting the local thrift stores tomorrow.

@CanterburyCottage Год назад

Thank you so much! Hope you find a great lamp (and for $3, like mine)!

@lauraponzini9919 Год назад

Simple..lovely..and very creative..you are always surprising..thank you Sherry for your precious ideas

@denisepope8599 Год назад

A bird nest would have taken the frame and branch up to another level. Absolutely beautiful.

@billieo5376 Год назад

That metal box was the greatest surprise. You've got such talent.

@CanterburyCottage Год назад

Oh, thank you, Billie!

@laurieowen8696 Год назад

Lovely as always. I liked the simplicity and uniqueness of the butterfly branch, but loved the rehab on the metal case. That got my wheels turning. I have a few metal cases to work with. I love how the fabric adds dimension and softens it, and I'm visualizing the perfect imagery on mine. Thank you for the inspiration .❤

@dorisandujar8277 Год назад

I love the frame with the branch and faux flowers petals. The branch with the wood butterflies is another one I love. Lately I've been on my landlords property picking up so many things in nature. I've got alot of birch bark and branches, a bag full of pine cones and flat rocks to decopauge on. I'm really getting into this natural way of crafting. I get so much inspiration from watching you and the projects you do help me to see things differently. Thank you 4 sharing.

@CanterburyCottage Год назад

You are so welcome! You are so lucky to have birch bark!!! We had a birch tree but had to have it removed. It started dying after some strong winds split it down the middle! They are not a very sturdy tree but so pretty!

@nancydrury532 Год назад

My favorites were the wooden bowl with flowers, the frame using the fabric scraps and the small bouquet of dried flowers, and the lamp…Sooo pretty!

@mags8014 Год назад

The pressed flowers in the wooden bowl were lovely. And that lamp! No wonder it’s your favourite! Thank you for another delightful video.

@maryellenyork2819 Год назад

I have never wanted to take the time to glue flowers to a branch to create a tree, but I like your idea of a framed twig.

@laureean9785 Год назад

I love how that lamp came out with the blue and white napkins, beautiful!

@CarolynS.Cooper-io4jw 8 дней назад

The lamp is my favorite ! Love all the refurbished items !

@ceceliadunfee4985 Год назад

I love all your ideas. I've done some many of them.

@CanterburyCottage Год назад

Yay, thank you!

@OrganizeCreateDecorate Год назад

While I love everything you do, I have to admit that the lamp is the best yet. That is amazing. You have such a great eye for hidden treasures.

@gailallen2895 Год назад

My favorite is the frame with the sticks and flowers. A smaller version would look good with a grouping of things. Of course the lamp was your choice!! It is lovely.

@beeline22 Год назад

Good afternoon, Sherry! Gorgeous diys, as always! I love them all, especially the Chinoiserie lamp!!! Well done. Thank you for sharing, Bobbie. ❤

@debbiesmith526 Год назад

The lamp was quite a transition! My favorite.

@lisadawson2652 Год назад

All of your projects are whimsical nothing is ever wired to me your creativity is a inspiration to us all ❤❤❤❤👍🏾

@debkincaid2891 9 месяцев назад

It's impossible to pick a favorite --they are all so beautiful! From your book collection, I'd guess you were an English professor but from your obviously artistic talents, you must have been an artist. Your insight and vision are absolute gifts.

@lindabarrington5400 Год назад

I loved the metal file folder. My mouth was open when done.

@spbrown04 Год назад

The inside of your mind must be a magical and busy place! The lamp is outstanding, but if I had to pick just one, I’d go with the wooden bowl with the flowers.

@CanterburyCottage Год назад

Thank you! I don’t know about “magical” but what a lovely compliment!

@pamelataylor3537 Год назад

Hi Sherri, the lamp is my favourite too, it now looks gorgeous with the blue and white napkins, instead of those unfortunate polka dots lol. I also love everything else that you did too. The wooden bowl with the flowers in the middle is beautiful. I also love the frame with the stick flowers and little blue bird on the bottom. I could go on about every project, but I won’t I think you get that I love each of them. It’s made me think that I will look at some items differently now, that’s for sure. I do know that lately when I’ve been out walking round I see sticks that have fallen off trees and a few of them I’ve been going to pick up but I couldn’t bend over to get them and they were a bit big to put in or on my wheely walker, the footpaths are really bumpy and they would have kept falling off. God Bless you and your family and please enjoy your week.

@alohamom2380 Год назад

OMGoodness, Sherry! When I saw your "coat hook" I thought "I have one exactly like it!"😲 Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought to see another one! Love what you did to it and as always, enjoy your creations! 😊

@pamlitz9605 Год назад

The way you were able to piece the napkin together on the lamp is amazing!! You do the most amazing flips with thrift items. I don’t ever seem to find good thrift items but it’s probably my lack of imagination.

@mariemathews7794 Год назад

I like the lamp with the unfortunate polka dot paint job-too funny!

@annettemurielle Год назад

So many wonderful creations, Sherry! My favorite was the lamp! I love it!

@vickimadsen3739 Год назад

The lamp is just beautiful! But I think my favorite is the metal box!!

@diandreawilliams1799 Год назад

I like the butterfly branch. It is so whimsical. The lamp was amazing too.

@nenaturning3859 Год назад

My favorite is also the lamp. The projects are all lovely, the lamps just jumps out at me. Thank you for sharing.

@debbiemasek6481 Год назад

I was most impressed with the metal box! When you first started putting on the fabric I was thinking, Sherry what are you doing? It turned out great! Very impressive! All the extra details were fantastic, so that was my favorite.

@CanterburyCottage Год назад

Oh thank you! Yes, that white tea towel looked strange. I was hoping the paint would turn it around!😜

@55delynn Год назад

I truly love the lamp with the blue & white napkins. I also really loved the coat hook w/IOD transfers

@chellepitts6677 9 месяцев назад

That polka dot lamp makeover is stunning!!

@mariep4018 2 месяца назад

My favorite project in this video was the toolbox. You made it look like a trunk. That was awesome.👍

@deeneedler327 Год назад

Pressed flowers on wooden bowl, amazing...I'm gonna do it! Thanks!!❤

@CanterburyCottage Год назад

I’m so glad you liked this idea! 😊

@savvyheart369 Год назад

The decoupaged lamp is absolutely stunning. I love decoupage, its so satisfying!

@allisonhapke2703 Месяц назад

LAMP! Definitely! But they're all lovely.

@kristymh823 Год назад

By George, you’ve done it again! The fabric on the metal case was the method I needed to see today! Thanks again Sherri for reading my mind … again! 😊

@dorishenry3990 Год назад

That lamp is gorgeous. You have brought the love of blue back in my life.

@CanterburyCottage Год назад

Yay! Thank you!

@lindathompson9334 Год назад

My favorites were the lamp and the fabric-covered picture frame.

@catherinevergati1284 Год назад

Love what you do. Thank you for sharing your projects! They are all so beautiful, but that wooden bowl idea was genius!

@gizmo7877 Год назад

You’re a Genius! As I watch each project, I sit here and just shake my head back and forth in amazement at your boundless imagination! It’s not crafting, IT’S ART, that should be in a gallery. I loved, loved the wooden hanger! Working with material to cover the luggage piece was amazing to create texture and laborious as well. As it opens from the top, I thought the carrying handle should have been placed on the top for balance and stabilization for the contents. I’m walking away with so many ideas thanks to your talents.

@jeanne-marie8196 Год назад

The lamp caught my eye as well. That blue and white napkin set has been put to such good use!

@cindybakergambrel136 Год назад

The suitcase looked like a lot of work but the transformation was one of a kind. Outstanding!

@CanterburyCottage Год назад

Thank you, Cindy! The suitcase was the most time consuming project this week, but it wasn’t that bad.

@diannehiggs Год назад

All gorgeous but that lamp is perfection!!!

@CherylCrow-po5lf Год назад

All lovely projects as usual. My favorites are the amazing lamp makeover and the sweet bird/branch frame. Also will use the lace on basket method you showed us. Thank you so much for something to look forward to at the beginning of each week!

@CanterburyCottage Год назад

Thanks so much! 😊 Cheryl, that is such a sweet comment!

@terrihart2133 Год назад

I love the lamp, the bowl,the hook is adorable. But I am very thankful you gave me a couple of ideas for some wall sconces I have been hanging on to. All turned out fantastic.

@janicegray9999 Год назад

Both of them for under everything was absolutely beautiful. I think my favorite had to be the lamp.

@jo-annmaruszak9885 Год назад

That lamp….OMG. Beautiful ❤ and the William Morris frame…. I love it

@tiedyedsouthernfried3137 Год назад

The lamp turned out beautiful! It looks like Dresden porcelain!

@patriciamalone3553 9 месяцев назад

Sherrie… You should have a million subscribers. You do so many crafts from virtually nothing. I love that you decorate in old world and French country decor.

@CanterburyCottage 9 месяцев назад

Oh, thank you so much, Patricia! You are so sweet!

@donnad.7986 Год назад

All of these turned out so adorable. The lamp is my favorite… it’s gorgeous.

@ChristineJonah88 Год назад

My favorite was the doily ribbon around the basket and the coat hook makeover.

@abbyroberts4424 Год назад

The lamp turned out beautifully

@MsDlord1 Год назад

I've done personalized photo books like you did the frame but Loved the saying and little dried arrangement. The other up cycle was probably the lamp. I will be looking differently at thrift store visits.😊

@lyndawise678 Год назад

my favorite was the lamp. But I also loved the butterfly tree. those buttons were amazing . The cloth covered items was a wonderful idea. I like the basket with lace also.

@janefisher576 Год назад

The mirror covered with fabric was very nice.

@roseannenorman7129 Год назад

So many of them are so beautiful, but I think th lamp is my favorite. I don't know if anyone feels sad the way I do when that soft piano plays, but it certainly gets to o me.

@melissar6365 Год назад

Well done, Sherry! Hands down, you knocked the lamp out of the park! It came out gorgeous!

@CanterburyCottage Год назад

Oh, thank you so much, Melissa!

@grannygarden5887 Год назад

The butterfly branch was okay but i really likes the white lamp decoupage makeover and the fabric covered picture frame . The coat hook though was absolutely my favorite. It was so beautiful.

@CanterburyCottage Год назад

Thank you! 😊 The butterfly branch was not my favorite either, but I think it could be nice in a slightly different application. I may try it again! 😜

@lindadoucet1431 Год назад

My favorite is the metal box. But the lamp is also gorgeous!

@melodymartin222 Год назад

All of your projects are lovely and creative but, oh that lamp!!! Gorgeous!

@arlenecook7883 Год назад

I loved the lamb, wood bowl and the hook. Everything was incredible ❤

@Fitzwillyfl 4 месяца назад

The ingenuity and creativity are off the charts!!

@donnadozier4294 Год назад

Sherry I just love watching your videos. You come up with the best ideas!❤ The lamp was so inspiring! And then the wall hook.❤❤❤

@ninajohnson6578 Год назад

Love the William Morris piece. I’ve loved his work for over 50 years. Almost odd he is so popular now.

@CanterburyCottage Год назад

It is odd how what was once considered “old-fashioned” is back in style! Lucky for us that we were born “old-fashioned”!😜

@JM-lw6yi Год назад

I love your upcycles! The metal box reminds me of the cases we used to store our 45's back in the day! I also love your taste in books. Couldn't help but check out the titles 😄

@katherineharper-sj4ys Год назад

The coat hook is my favorite. But the lamp gives me an idea to transform a lamp for my sister’s new house. Thanks

@judithstonier9872 Год назад

All the projects were lovely but my favourite was the William Morris frame and the flower bowl which looked so Victorian

@angela3063 Год назад

I think the bowl and the lamp are my favorite but all of them are wonderful.

@luzcruz4571 Год назад

I loved all your projects today. My favorites were the lamp and the cover. The cover holding a wreath came out absolutely gorgeous and it's something unexpected. Thank you for sharing these projects. Have a great week.🙏

@michelesmith2562 Год назад

The lamp was my favorite too. It’s beautiful

@melaniemorris7757 Год назад

I like them all! The lamp is definitely my favorite ( have one shoved in the back of the closet that I'm going to give this a try on). The bowl and the green fabric box are running neck in neck for second and third! You are so creative! Great ideas!

@CanterburyCottage Год назад

Thank you, Melanie! Good luck with your lamp. Hope you have some pretty napkins!
