You are my Queen. Sometimes I watch marathons of you while I'm working on my projects. You are my favorite person out there.

@jerisharpe906 5 ай бұрын

They are really beautiful. Another top of the line remake. You are the queen of giving new life to items that many would throw out. Love, love, love you make overs.❤❤❤

I found your channel accidentally last night. I was watching crafting videos and fell asleep. When I woke up KZfaq had your channel playing. My husband refinished furniture and I’d help him, but he had some kind of natural instinct as to what to use, which way to sand and had amazing patience with it. I have skills in other areas. Like I sew and if I mess up taking something apart to correct it isn’t earth shattering. I’ve really enjoyed watching you clean and revitalize these pieces. Each time you said, “writing desk,” I would think of the Mad Hatter saying , “why is a raven like a writing desk?” I live in the Potomac Highlands area of West Virginia. Apples are grown here commercially. I put apple decorations around my home. It’s not all apples all the time, but if I see something cute I will buy it. Your finished pieces are gorgeous. I’ve got a few pieces that I need/want to bring back to life. One is a little wash stand looking piece I found on the side of the road in Texas. It’s cute, but it’s mostly pressed wood aka compressed rat vomit and glue. I’m planning to do a crackle type finish on it. There’s a crack where the mirror section came off and crackle-tone can cover a multitude of sins. I’ve also got a gorgeous double rocker with a needlepoint upholstery and arms carved into swans. It needs to be restuffed, the swans are coming apart and it’s in dire need of having the wood refinished. As far as things no one wants; I rent a room and my roommate and I have been keeping an eye on a round dining table at Goodwill. The top was loose and it was diiiirrrty. On Sundays they have a tag color for $1.00. Last Sunday that table had a $1.00 tag. We got it home, cleaned it up, tightened the top and it’s been great. For anyone living in the Austin, TX area keep your eyes open for side of the road gems.

Enjoy all of your projects! That little shelf with a cubby and box attached would be a wonderful side table for a small bedroom. It could be attached to the wall and there’s plenty of room for a phone, books, pen and glasses. Really love the look of that one especially.

The second little blue box looks almost like it would have been hung on a wall holding a rotary phone. With a box for notepaper and pens and the lower cubby for a phone book (remember those?!”)…. It has such cute lines! ❤❤❤

I loved how the sugar bin turned out, and I was shocked at how great the hinges looked when you put them back on! I was also surprised by how much I loved the 2 drawer box! I never give pressed wood pieces a second look, but with a great paint job and knobs, you made pressed wood boxes a hot ticket! Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas, Yvonne! I appreciate you.

@shellydehart8217 5 ай бұрын

Each piece turned out fantastic. I wonder if some people realize how much time n effort you put into a piece. I’ve come to realize your skills at making something over is a perfection you’ve conquered. To take something that looks like it will never live again, you make it over looking old n even new. There’s a lot of channels out there that do makeovers but as for me your #1. My favorite was the green box but I was a little leary of the blue one but after seeing it close up n adding the porcelain knobs it looked awesome. ♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍🌟

I've never seen a portable telephone station before! I love the cast iron color & the fact that it can be used for other things since we no longer use those old, chunky dial phones.

The little sugar box looks like someone’s high school woodworking project or home project. I think it’s so adorable! I might have grabbed it if thrifting, but certainly not the other two……….at least not prior to having watched your video ….now everything is a possibility😁❤️❤️
