You have a vision that I don’t have. Those figurines were totally improved and enhanced. And now they really do look like bronze! 👏👏

Hi Carin! This turned out fantastic! I love how these turned out! You are so talented! The marble bases look gorgeous and I love how you styled them! Big hugs my sweet friend! ❤❤

Oh Carin, your bookends turned out beautifully. You’re so creative my friend. ❤

Carin, those bookends look fabulous! Great job. Have a lovely weekend. ❤😊❤🙏

one of the best thrift flips i've seen!

Carin, What a fantastic job that you did on the marbling and the bronzing looks very high end and I know your very proud of the out come looking forward to another video your friend in Athens Georgia 😃

It's absolutely amazing how different those look from their original state, including the bases. I've also always wanted to try the rub n buff, but have always been intimidated by it. Now that I've seen you use it, I might just give it a try.

What did I just watch?...it was fantastic!! Such a brilliant idea. I'm going to use it myself. Thank you so much🙏

I love how they turned out, Carin!! Perfect ❤

That never would have occurred to me. It really came out nicely. ~ Janet 🥰

You did an amazing job!

I've looked for A set too, with no luck! I found 2 that i love but they don't match🫤 I have two different book shelves, not built in so they're moveable. On one I put some books against the end & used one bookend, and did the same with the other one on the other shelf. I'll eventually find a set 🤷‍♀️ I have books on every shelf, just for decor so they actually look really pretty. If it were A library type situation, I'd definitely want them to match! Girlfriend your videos are never A waste of time! It's time we get to spend together & chat, obviously my favorite thing to do😂, or watch you decorate, go shopping or just whatever! Mmm that lamp was stunning!❤ Yes, i collect old lamps, I'd love to have her!😊 There was some beautiful art work! The one you pulled out..i loved it too! I've recently started collecting the figurines, mostly regency/Victorian ones, but i have a set of an old Amish couple, and a few others more like the set you bought. I really like those.😁 I always google Lens everything girl! Loved the stool, i actually have one that i has that same material & same color wood but its a little bigger. I like to buy/collect old wooden chairs & stools to sit around the house for decor, some have upholstery some don't. I just have this thing for anything made of old wood! 🤷‍♀️ But chairs g stools can also be functional.. well some of mine aren't safe to sit in😄.. just very old! I love the ones that have ornately carved backs! 😊 Oh wow..i love that paint color! They look awesome! The rub & bug set them off, love them❤ I love using rub & buff, it really does go a long way! I'm definitely going to get A can of that spray paint for my stash! This definitely gives me ideas that I'm excited to try😉 Wow again.. the marble affect technique looks amazing! After the gloss they really look good, you did a great job! Those turned out to be gorgeous, like you said, one of a kind! The honestly look like you bought them that way! I'm seriously obsessed❤ Girlfriend try look beautiful on the shelf, no one would be the wiser! Enjoyed the video, loved the DIY's and thanks a ton for the ideas!😊

They really do look like metal! CONGRATS 😅

Fantastic way of coming up with the bookends, if you don't mentioned it we wouldn't of known, Great job. I also will comment here the words used in a transcript in a christian song for any viewer that knows the title. Please let me know, thank you in advance! I'am so amazed by all you have done, I cannot explain the depth of your love. Limits can't contain the heart of you 4x Hallelujah love is made a way, " forever I give thanks " love is made a way " yeah , yeah forever I give thanks...

You did a wonderful job on your DYI bookends. Just beautiful!! When you were talking in the beginning about something in your video being a disaster; my thought is that most of the time if you don't say anything or point it out, nobody will notice.😉

I just subscribed but Ive.been watching your videos for a while now. I love your decor! I play piano and would love to know the title of that classical music playing at the start of this video? Please let me know. - Cynthia (AZ.)

Marble coasters could have worked as a base for ur project

First

How do you clean rub and buff out of your paint brush? I used it and tried to clean the brush a few different ways but couldn't get it out and ended up throwing my brush away.

looks very hard,rugged, un-natural, a definite NO GO-- use a feather !!!!!!!!!!!!!
