The brass plates were undoubtedly mass produced, so no harm done. And the brass-framed bird pictures are absolutely beautiful!

I think I would have hot glued a wood round to the center of the brass plates, but the final look is quite stunning.

@juststoppingby390 23 күн бұрын

I don't know how you do it. Your unique ideas are incredible. You gave those brass plates a new life. Every house I know in the UK in the 70s had them. They were cheap and ugly even back then! Now they are charming and have brass frames. I'm officially obsessed with your channel. I would love to walk away from my house from a month and say do whatever feels good to you because I know my home would be lovely afterward

@CanterburyCottage 23 күн бұрын

Oh, thank you! Everyone’s home in the U.S. in the ‘70’s also had them. My mom’s had fruit designs and hung in our kitchen.

My mom had the same brass plates hanging in my childhood home in the 1950’s! Brought back memories…however, I cringed when you were pounding, but the final result is really pretty! I just love birds (way more than ships…haha) anyway! ❤ You never cease to amaze me.

I love the brass plates and what you did with them! My mother had some that were much the same, and I never liked them much. Now I wish I had kept them after she passed away so I could repurpose them like you did. I love everything you repurposed!! The Chinoiserie lamp that you created is absolutely adorable, and it's my favorite! Oh wait, the beautiful rusty vase with rusty roses and bird lid is my favorite too! You are one of the most wonderfully creative people I know (or know of). I'm so happy and enthusiastic when you post a new video. Thank you for all you share with us!❤

@charlenegoskowicz8220 22 күн бұрын

I really like the plaque (last project). That is my favorite. Every one of these projects is a sure improvement over what those objects were in their former "lives." You did not mess up anything! You saved some outdated "stuff" from the landfill! My granny had some of those brass plates hanging in her breakfast area. Even then, she referred to them as "dust catchers." So much better with the tissue paper overlay!

You did a great job re-imagining some ordinary pieces to make them special. The brass plates were so dated but turned out to be great frames for the bird pictures. I really like the bird cage/cash box & the candle box idea of being able to change the artwork. Good upcycling!

Nothing ruined with your wonderful skills :-) I love the birdcage, looks much more interesting and authentic with the metal box attached. The hidden phone charging box is brilliant. I've been trying to design something to disguise my router box for a few months now. Definitely more challenging than I thought, but you've given me the push to try and figure it out. Also, I'm so happy the little bird pics are still proving useful 🥰

Seems I always comment the same thing, but Sherry, you never disappoint your viewers with your creativity! I loved all the projects but my most favorite ones were the brass plates refurbish, the bird cage transformation and the resin vase turned rusty metal look. Thank you once again for your superb inspiration. Great job! Oops, I forgot to mention riser turned lamp! We are definitely on the same page loving blue and white chinoiserie!! I can’t get enough of it.

@doublescorpions 23 күн бұрын

Sherri, I really like that you finish the back side of your picture frames. When you cover the cardboard with paper or fabric to reinsert into the frame, rather than folding over the bulk corners, try cutting the corner of the fabric on a diagonal just a little ways away (not too tight to the corner) from each corner. This way when you fold over the two perpendicular sides to glue down you end up with what looks like mitered edges at the corner. Hope this works for you! S.

@deborahdavey1743 22 күн бұрын

I initially thought, when I first saw the plates, oh no. I think this was because my grandparents had very similar plates hanging on a wall. But when I saw what you had completed with them as well, I thought they were very beautiful well done for taking, the risk it was well worth it. The wood squares are not to my test, but the hook on the base of the table pedestal is beautiful. I believe the tapestry as a whole had had its day and you using it to make two pictures for your wall is a great idea. Everything you did today was beautiful and surprising as always. Thank you so much!!!!

@brendaholmes72 22 күн бұрын

ok I can see why someone would think the brass plates or the tapesty were messed up. But these were headed to the landfill... You rescured them, up graded the look, and now someone else can enjoy the pieces!!! The frames you created for the tapesty were my favorite project,
