Oh boy Canterbury Sherry time!❤

@patriciamalone3553 10 месяцев назад

Sherri… you are a smart girl for not throwing away such things as your goof off can.. verrry cute!

@ivankagren2746 3 месяца назад

The books are a great idea. Old ones are becoming very hard to find😊

@melissahyatt9626 10 месяцев назад

The clock, spice rack, tins, and basket were my favs, but that all were wonderful! The lamp blew me away too!

@debramcadams7840 10 месяцев назад

All these flips were great. The lamp is my favorite 😊

@CanterburyCottage 10 месяцев назад

Yay! Thank you!

@m.service5584 10 месяцев назад

The lamp is MY favorite, too, Sherry!!❤

@aolsweetsew 10 месяцев назад

I really liked the spice rack reimagined. I'm redoing the decor on top of my kitchen cabinets. If I can find a nice spice rack at the thrift store, I may try this. Thanks for the inspiration. Thanks also for sharing how to undo our boo boos. I have a decoupage project that I was never happy with, now I know how to redo it. P.S. I wish we had better thrift stores where I live. Even our Goodwill has gotten expensive.

@Becky-nn3pu 10 месяцев назад

All of these projects are just gorgeous! I can't pick a favorite! Your creativity is amazing!

@CanterburyCottage 10 месяцев назад

Thank you so much, Becky!

@dianabrown4152 10 месяцев назад

Of all of the videos that I have watched using thrift store finds, I think yours are the most enjoyable. I just started following and have only watched two, but I find them very creative and love them all.

@margaretdillinger5090 10 месяцев назад

I never knew you could do the reverse decoupage with scrap book paper. Loving these flips so much. The basket turned out gorgeous. Loving that lamp.

@CanterburyCottage 10 месяцев назад

Thanks so much! I hadn’t tried using scrapbook paper before, but I will definitely be trying it again!

@margaretdillinger5090 10 месяцев назад

@@CanterburyCottage I am going to try it. I tried reverse decoupage once but I know what I did wrong so I’m ready to try it again.

@MamaT160 10 месяцев назад

The cloche lamp is stunning!

@artstartdiy 9 месяцев назад

Beautiful work! The change to the birds for the trivet was a good choice, if you use a gloss topcoat on it it would resemble real tile❤️✨

@greatestever6738 10 месяцев назад

I think the picture in the black frame really looked like it came from the past the most to me. What great ideas! I love them all. Birds are so beautiful.

@CanterburyCottage 10 месяцев назад

Oh, thank you so much! 😊

@gizmo7877 10 месяцев назад

I don’t know much about antiques like you had today but I’m in love with that basket and would love to try to print on material. But only if it will go through the printer without jamming. It jams when I try to run through tissue paper adhered to copy paper. As always, you do a bang up job recreating old to new. You have a wealth of knowledge.

@bonniesmith1179 10 месяцев назад

Gosh Sherry. I couldn’t decide which item I liked the best because they were all so good. I thought the spice rack was amazing as well as the clock and basket. Truly, they were all amazing. The framed picture turned out stunning! Your ability amazes me, and your creativity. As I’ve gotten older I don’t trust my judgement on. decorating and creating like I used to. Once I finally do complete something it turns out well but I spend so much time thinking about it things don’t get accomplished as soon as I’d like. Thank you for sharing your talents with us all.

@conniedelvigna9427 8 месяцев назад

The cloche lamp is so unique and beautiful. Eye catching, but serene at the same time

@nancysemenko4871 10 месяцев назад

When I watch your videos, I think that it won’t work. And then , just like that you have made an amazing piece. The clock is my favorite. But then everything is amazing. Thank you for sharing your talent.

@lynnnickerson6334 10 месяцев назад

Hi Sherry, it’s pretty hard to pick a favorite… they all look so nice! You come up with so many great ideas!!! You keep inspiring me, thank you for sharing!

@dorisandujar8277 10 месяцев назад

I really am not sure which project looks more vintage but I will say that I love everyone. You amaze me with your talent and I'm mesmerized all the time. I'm 66 and I grew up all around antiques as my parents had a store. My mother was always stripping furniture and hauling things home to redo. I guess I've forgotten a lot over the years but my love for this remains. That's one reason why I love watching you so much. It warms my heart and brings back memories. The basket is lovely and I want to try doing one. I've taken quite a few home from my senior center. Thank you for sharing.

@terrybazin8067 10 месяцев назад

Sherry...most motivating and inspiring video I have watched in a while. I got out of my comfy chair and started painting a few things so I could do a few decoupage projects in the morning. Thank you for the great great great video. Don't know what it was that intrigued me, but this got me out of my current state of the blahs. ❤

@kathrynrudolph5121 10 месяцев назад

Your creativity is astounding! The cloche lamp is stunning!

@sherilynpeters6459 10 месяцев назад

The spice rack was my favorite. I really loved all of the projects. Your creativity contributed to the vintage appearance. It is always a joy to watch your videos.😊

@fantan04 10 месяцев назад

Hi Sherry 😊 Having been on holiday I have missed watching my favourite crafter and am binge watching what I missed! These flips are amazing - I never fail to be staggered by your imagination and creativity. Honestly, sometimes I sit here with my mouth agape whilst shaking my head incredulously when I see the results of your talents! Love, love, love your videos and your company. 👍🥰👍 Ann x

@suecox2308 10 месяцев назад

All of these are clever, and I love that you used your Goof-Off tin in such an imaginative way--nothing wasted!

@tangerinecottage 10 месяцев назад

I love them all! I really loved the repurposed goo gone can with the cat label. I also loved the little shelf with blue and white.

@CanterburyCottage 10 месяцев назад

Thanks so much! 😊

@helenlouise_ 10 месяцев назад

The books and the tins were spot on! I also get great ideas on how to "antique" my thrifted frames😊 Thanks Sherry!

@CanterburyCottage 10 месяцев назад

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching, Helen! 😊

@barbaradzitko1826 10 месяцев назад

Sherry, you are definitely the best at what you do. You always come up with such great ideas.

@nicolemacturk4491 10 месяцев назад

I love the cloche lamp. I will be looking for a glass lamp base like that one to make my own. Also, I noticed the black picture frame on the table next to you when you were introducing the video. I have the same one, It is ivory and I have the matching tray too. I love them both. Your black and white picture looks good in the frame painted black.

@lydialangfordjoiner765 10 месяцев назад

Oh, my, Sherry, you are fantastic! I am definitely a fan and look forward to the time I can watch your episode on Monday. Something always happens and interferes which is utterly frustrating, else I would watch the moment it appears on RU-vid! What a joy to finally get to see it! You truly are an amazing, creative Master of Decor.♥️ Thank you so very much!

@CanterburyCottage 10 месяцев назад

Oh, thank you! You are always so very kind, Lydia! I appreciate your comments so much!

@lauriestiver8410 10 дней назад

I can't wait to make over a new clock into a vintage one! I am doing some research on ebay to copy a real one! Thanks Sherri for all your fab ideas! I loved the way you transformed a basket into a treasure with the cloth transfer!!

@marthajones7265 10 дней назад

I'm sorry, but I can't pick a favorite. I loved all of them. Wonderful video. Thanks!

@ruthfitzwater-cn3vc 10 месяцев назад

The fabric you ran through your printer for the basket turned out beautifully. Who knew and you always find such charming images!

@jenely886 3 месяца назад

Love the clock! At first, didnt think it was going to look good. I should know to trust you! The books and lamp turned out soooooo good! And the goof off tin, what?! I LOVE that you don't waste anything. As always, amazing work!

@CanterburyCottage 3 месяца назад

Oh thank you!

@connieh.4689 10 месяцев назад

@maryfrancesbaker289 10 месяцев назад

The green handle is the perfect vintage shade!

@shadygardens2256 9 месяцев назад

All of these projects are amazing! I cannot believe how authentically old and vintage these things look after you redid them. I can’t wait to try some of these projects. Thank you so much for the ideas!

@karenbreslauer2053 10 месяцев назад

Spoke too soon. That cloche lamp !! You knocked it out of the park You amaze me

@sherylcarter6242 10 месяцев назад

I absolutely love the spice rack. I think the revised mod podged tile goes much better than the first.

@CB-pf7go 10 месяцев назад

The milking stool and the black framed print are spot on the most vintage looking. I’ve been thrifting for so many years and can remember finding actual vintage decor for a couple of dollars. Prices at my local thrift stores are through the roof now a days.

@CanterburyCottage 10 месяцев назад

It’s so true. I started thrifting in college and furnished my first apartment totally with thrift store finds. Back then everything was a good deal!

@elainecivi6786 10 месяцев назад

That closhe lamp is to die for!

@barbaralauinger6350 10 месяцев назад

I like the “antique” books best. You make such beautiful things.

@ellenswartz7203 10 месяцев назад

I love the framed print. It is beautiful. And the blue onion spice rack. No one could ever guess it’s napkins. You continue to blow my mind with your creativity. “I finished a can of Goo Gone”. Project!!! 😂

@loisdouglass4112 10 месяцев назад

I am just getting started in Upcycle ing and love it so love to watch your videos for ideas and inspiration!! I am doing my first show Sept 16 and 17 and I sure hope I am doing the right things! I am doing tiered tray, trays, and lifters if that is what they are called. I. Really enjoying the process!

@dianeknott3655 8 месяцев назад

The books! And the tin can with the cat! Loved them! Oh, and the vintage landscape!

@nitachance4238 10 месяцев назад

The books and the lamp have my heart!

@dorothylehman4164 9 месяцев назад

That little stool is a true antique and it's so cute what you did to it I love watching what you do

@maryowens9179 10 месяцев назад

They all turned out great ❤

@robinsabo6932 10 месяцев назад

It’s always difficult to choose a favorite because everything you create is beautiful and clever! I love the basket with the cloth print in front and the cloche lamp in particular!

@lumontoya9439 10 месяцев назад

Loved them all but especially the lamp and spice rack. Thanks for the clear instructions on what is needed and how to do each project. You’re so talented!!

@joycefoster684 9 дней назад

The cloch lamp was amazing! Would love to find a lamp like it. I've never seen a lamp without a base! All your ideas are beautiful. Thanks for sharing your creativeness!!

@tammycarroll710 10 месяцев назад

The clock and the lamp, oh my I can't choose just one!😍

@sprogohomeaway9602 10 месяцев назад

I really love all the projects, especially the books which was my favorite. Hope you will consider doing another trash to treasure video and a video of charity shop buys that most people will not purchase. Xxx

@tinamcivor2996 10 месяцев назад

You never disappoint Sherry! Your transformation of the modern tin box to antique look was my favorite

@rebeccaburke4348 2 дня назад

You are a genius at creativity. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

@marydelhay6837 10 месяцев назад

Sherry, all the projects this week were perfect! I thought the framed print looked the most convincing. My favorite one was the lamp, though. Thanks for sharing!

@sarahwah1255 10 месяцев назад

I too love antiques 💕All the projects are so creative and well done!🫶🏻 I really like the nature picture 🙋🏻‍♀️

@CanterburyCottage 10 месяцев назад

Thanks so much, Sarah! 😊

@bonnieodonnell2780 10 месяцев назад

Most vintage looking-the milking stool, the clock. I love the lamp.

@riostephanie489 10 месяцев назад

I just found a little black kitten 3 weeks ago that I have named “ Sweetie”. We have become quite attached to one another! I’m definitely making this tin, it’s so adorable 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

@crystalwaters8852 8 дней назад

I love the picture & frame & the lamp with glass base. The trivet is pretty special too.❤

@chellepitts6677 10 месяцев назад

Most ALL looked antique!! I LOVED the gold clock, but someone beat me to it in your catalogue…haha. But lo and behold, I got your green wall clock that will match my kitchen perfectly!! The books were fantastic as well!

@rhondasales5176 10 месяцев назад

Love the basket but the books look the part the most to me. Tyfs

@heidigresh2743 10 месяцев назад

Not sure if the cloche was truly antique looking but it was my favorite piece this week.

@horselady65 Месяц назад

You inspire me, I’ve been hitting thrift stores looking for frames for my dark academia room I’m doing. 😊

@sandicantz2003 10 месяцев назад

My picks for the most authentic-looking antiques were the milking stool and the old frame and painting. Loved everything, though.

@danastory9294 10 месяцев назад

❤ them all but that cloche lamp is everything!! I will never see one of those again!!❤❤❤❤❤

@Elizabeth-arb22 10 месяцев назад

All your projects are terrific! I just can't choose a favorite. However, the recycled googone can with the black cat stove cleaner label stole my heart. Maybe you will make another one? 💗

@janethayes1908 10 месяцев назад

If those GW ladies could just see the trivet now!! I love it!!😂😍

@lindasmith5190 10 месяцев назад

The cloche lamp is beautiful and the "old" picture with the black painted frame.

@bethbenson1931 11 дней назад

That lamp has got to be my favorite. I found a large glass cloche top at a yard sale for $1. Took me a few weeks to find a lovely china raised cake plate to put it on. Also found a nice wood round for the base when I want a change. Watching you and wonderful Pinterest has given me many ideas on what to put in it. Thanks so much! 😊

@CanterburyCottage 10 дней назад

I’m so glad I can share some ideas with you, Beth. Sounds like you found some great items!

@apropst5867 10 месяцев назад

Sherry...two thumbs up on the cloche lamp. I don't know which you like more; clocks, birds, or books ! 🤔🤣

@delorisharrison6731 Месяц назад

Hi Sherry…love the painted black frame and wallpaper cutout! Looks so genuinely old! Landscapes are back!! 🎉

@stephhorning4393 10 месяцев назад

I absolutely love watching you & your flips!! It is 1048 PM & I have to be up @ 3 AM but I had to keep watching!! Thank you!!😊😊😊

@jillmason9129 10 месяцев назад

So many great ideas for “vintagizing” newer items! Always look forward to your videos!

@juneramirez8580 10 месяцев назад

Finally my decor is back in style!!! Lol. I all came from an Aunt that was born in 1900! Some is 1930's and needs serious refinishing and the rest is from the 1950's. Baskets here in AZ run much higher.

@Blessedgirl1955 10 месяцев назад

Sherry I loved them all but my favorite was the glass lamp and the clock and you sure did make those books look old. Thanks for always giving us links and free printables, I appreciate that.

@ruthfitzwater-cn3vc 9 месяцев назад

The cloche lamp and the print on fabric are my favorites! Your brain is just genius!!

@CanterburyCottage 9 месяцев назад

Oh thank you!☺️

@blueburytreasurelaurabrown8482 10 месяцев назад

I loved the cloche lamp…..that was my favorite today. ❤❤❤

@CanterburyCottage 10 месяцев назад

I agree. It didn’t look vintage, but it was my favorite project this week!

@jaynezook 10 месяцев назад

The lamp was my favorite! Because of your videos I picked up 2 free ones last week and ripped them apart to make big lanterns. Thanks so much for sharing your ideas!

@alisavogt2892 10 месяцев назад

I think my favourite is the cloche lamp. It would be so easy to change up the items inside based on seasons, holidays, etc!

@CanterburyCottage 10 месяцев назад

Thank you! Yes, I love that idea!

@brendamathis4374 10 месяцев назад

Sherry, I adored the basket, I am absolutely going to try my best to make one. As always thank you so much for sharing your talent and I ask the Lord to bless you

@conniegray3272 10 месяцев назад

@vickinoeske1154 10 месяцев назад

Sherry, I cannot believe you only spent $4 on the antique milking stool. You lucky girl. It turned out so cute. Love the spice rack. Love all of your ideas.❤

@caronward4042 10 месяцев назад

I loved the way the vintage framed print turned out. The Black Cat Stove Polish item-- I think I might have just left it as is because the image is so striking. I adore your creatiity and charm!

@ellenl5626 2 месяца назад

I love how you upscaled the Goof Off can! The framed print was my favorite today and as always I learned something interesting from you...thick Antiquing Wax over black paint.

@dorothybeaty3638 10 месяцев назад

Oh my that cloche lamp was the best item yet. Sherry you are my favorite crafter so many good ideas.

@lovingmayberry307 10 месяцев назад

Tins and lamp! 💜

@jansfield5314 10 месяцев назад

We are spoilt for choice Sherry, I love them all, but the spice rack and Trivet were my real favourites! Oh how I love your videos and I learn so much xx

@thepennycrafters7616 10 месяцев назад

Sherry the lamp!!! Absolutely beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@joycewirth3022 10 месяцев назад

Hands down was the glass cloche, a lot of work but it came out amazing. Maybe I can find a lamp like the one you used to make my own, but since you posted this creation, all will be snatched up in an instant. The clock was great and turned out so nice. Thank you for all your great ideas and how-to's. See you next Monday. 🌞
