DIY Upcycling Thrift Flips into Unique Home Decor (Using the 3 B’s)!

Рет қаралды 84,602

Күн бұрын

In today’s video, I turn a variety of old thrift store finds into unique, useful, and stylish home decor using the 3 B’s. The DIY projects include creating a wall shelf from a picture frame, an embellished bird cage, author themed bookends, a gold floral candelabra, and a number of other one of a kind decor. I’ll show you how to turn any photo into a watercolor painting! (You’ll have to watch the video to find out what the three B’s.) Hope you get lots of inspiration!

I AM SO SORRY! I thought the Waterlogue app was free; I don’t remember paying for it. However, it costs $3.99 for a one-time purchase fee. AND, it is available only on Apple products. If you are an Android user, the Artsy app which has a free version also has a watercolor effect option. Another app, Ollie, also has a watercolor feature; it costs $1.99 for a one-time purchase fee. Again, I am so sorry. I didn’t do my homework this week!

@marymahoney233 4 ай бұрын

I’m glad it costs money! My first thought when it was free was that nothing is free- they are probably farming information, particularly with access to your photos. But if they are charging- chances are they are more legit. At any rate, it looks like a great app !

All is forgiven ♥️😊👍

Was just coming here to tell you it's not free. In fact, the only version i could find for Android was $3.99.

My android has a watercolor filter in the photo app - maybe not quite as nice, but fun to play with!

*Sherry, I have L🤍VED birds, 🐦 flowers (blooms)💐and books 📚 since I was a small child. I had a favorite tree growing up with the perfect "Y" in the branches. You could sit in the "Y" with a leg slung over each side and read for HOURS. It was really high up, so if I was quiet 🤫 and no one looked up, nobody knew I was there. I sat up there in my perch and surveyed the neighborhood and the open fields that had been farm land (it was a new housing development) and soaked in the breeze, the lilting sounds of birds 🕊as they sang and chirped - and simply enjoyed nature all around me - with the wildflowers growing in the field near the tree. Summers were magical and serene. If my Mom hadn't seen me for awhile on a sunny summer day, she knew I could be found in my "reading tree" and sent one of my siblings to fetch me for lunch or dinner. 😊*

@shewhispers45 3 ай бұрын

What a beautiful memory you shared of this tree from your childhood. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. I had a tree too right next to my front door and in the Spring I would climb up it to visit with the birds that would build their nests up there. I was an adult though and often my husband would come outside, look up and see me there, shake his head and go back in. He left me alone while I communed with nature. I was in my happy place. 😊

@foxymama9203 6 күн бұрын

What a great memory! I, too, had a reading tree in the woods behind my childhood home! I feel so sorry for this generation’s children who mostly don’t know what it is like to roam the woods and discover the beauty and wonder of nature without distractions from technology. For reference, I am 60 years old. Those magical memories are some of my best!!

I really loved how many candle stands you used. My favorite project was the white and lavender flower candle stand that you said you would use as a soap dish. I got to thinking how nice yours would look in a bathroom. Edgar Allen Poe is my favorite author so the book ends drew my interest. Thank you Sherry for all your hard work and just you being you . Mondays wouldn’t be the same without you. Blessings

Oh my gosh, watching you is so much fun. I have been looking for small birds, but they seem to be a little too expensive even at the thrift stores. I went to a yard sale a few weeks ago and was able to buy a box of 13 assorted small birds ranging in price from 25 cents to a dollar. I was so thrilled ! I have gotten 2 nice bird cages and lots of candle stands, so I will have so much fun once we move. Thanks for the lovely ideas you shared with us today. They were all winners! 😊
