I love that you rescue things from the dump. Where I live people are not allowed to take anything. The "trash " is dumped into a big bin that is not accessible. I wish we could look for treasures.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

I wish more places let us

[@patriciaclark6024]

That wood shelf project would make a really good stress relief 😅😂❤

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Sure would!!

[@pamelastansbury1407]

Totally binge watching! So happy I found you. I've never had the courage to know how to work with wood, have wanted to for years.. and you have given me knowledge to give it a try. Thank u!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

You can do it! Thanks for watching ❤️

[@jodilea144]

I just love the way your brain works! These are all great transformations. 😊

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thank you! 😊

[@dcochran47]

I can't decide which project i like the best. It may be the colander and shovel handle.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thanks so much for watching. Glad you enjoyed.

[@lianneneima6385]

Wonderful ideas! Thank you.

[@melodymedlock160]

Those bracket’s….❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Aged to perfection.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

[@Valerie77777]

I absolutely love when you layer your colors like in the first project, and then scrape to get those different colors to come through. To me, that look is amazing! SO many awesome projects! Thank you for all of these ideas ❤

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thank you so much!

[@rebornhome]

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thanks for subbing!

[@HeatherHalsey-vw2gh]

I about lost it when u was standing, dancing on that wood...I loved it...

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Lol so glad you enjoyed

[@nancyhansen8844]

Thanks for the tip of putting a light coat of Modpodge on top first. All you ideas are so inspiring!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

You are so welcome!

[@loumac]

I love the chippy layers of paint.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thanks 😊

[@debkincaid2891]

Am in love with the botanical card idea! 🥰

[@OurUpcycledLife]

So glad!

[@lottiesmith8937]

I really liked the idea of using the little red toolbox. I never thought of turning it upside down and using it as a towel holder/shelf ❤ awesome!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

You are so welcome!

[@carynhardt1]

Fabulous!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thanks glad you enjoyed

[@lisa1340]

Love the plant hanger!!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thanks

[@7andearth76]

You could also place a rod inside the tool box for a roll of paper towels to hand alongside the cloth towel (if wide enough)

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Great idea

[@rachellarsen939]

Love these ideas, I've been taking book page's and putting rub on transfers on them, love the look!!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Wonderful!

[@toniagarcia2885]

Nice dance moves on that piece of wood, 😂 love your videos. 😊

❤❤ All these recycles are awesome! Love the recycled 70’s lamp to planter!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thank you! 😊

[@shalinighosh8413]

All your makeovers are so so inspirational!!!❤

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thank you so much!!

[@janewerner4002]

You are extremely creative. I enjoyed your video!😊

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thank you so much!

[@melodymedlock160]

I really enjoyed these. Tons of inspiration. I think I would’ve liked the candle holder on the pedestal a lot better if the pot lid was painted? Just my opinion of course but I wasn’t a fan of how shiny & new it looked. I loved the patina on those amazing brackets. You created several things that I haven’t seen done before. That’s always a win in my book. I love unique decor and don’t follow along with the masses. Your choices were very creative. I loved the unexpected ones the best. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Glad you enjoyed

[@piafico4692]

Deidre, you certainly are the Queen of upcycling! You come up with the most unique ideas and I love all your money saving techniques that you use, especially the decoupage ones and how to make your own and the different paints that you make yourself. You are just amazing! Thanks for all your inspiration. I love watching your videos! I love all your creations especially the botanical prints using the natural leaves as stamps!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thanks so much 😊

[@piafico4692]

@@OurUpcycledLife you’re welcome🥰

[@lisetteirachett6607]

Ditto, 101% You are WONDERFUL!! Love watching and learning!

[@cassfonnesbeck8057]

Wonderful upcycles! I especially liked the tote you turned into a towel holder. I have several that need to be upcycled, and this is a wonderful idea!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

You are so welcome!

[@andrearussell9755]

I love your fabulous recycling dyi's. Thank you for sharing... I love all, no favorite one. 😊

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thank you! 😊

[@helenbritcher9353]

You have great ideas!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thanks for watching

[@margitivideoblogi6920]

You have so much stuff on the road😮 we have so clean country, never find such stuff!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

We have certain days stuff goes out

[@irenehynes7536]

I love thé plant stands that you made here. I need some for all my plants! Checking the Thrifty stores this week. Thanks for these ideas!😊

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Have fun!

[@judieahmed98]

I enjoyed your video.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@kippytx]

So good

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thanks

[@alwaysathome]

Love the driveway trick!!

[@saltlifegull4091]

AWESOME!! Did you use a laser or ink jet printer? I noticed the ink didn't run when you put coffee water on it. You're amazing!!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Laser

[@hollybeam332]

Girl, I knew I had to follow you as soon as I saw you stomping on that board in your driveway. 😂 I love it! Also, I grab some super heavy tire chains from our garage and beat wood pieces I'm distressing, they work fantastic!!❤

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Yay! Thank you!

[@marysusa6985]

Have you ever been on the show "Flea Market Flip?" I bet you could win!! Great upcycles.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

lol! Love that show ❤️

[@lydiakinnaman3679]

Can not can't pic a favorite. All wonderful. I WOULD HAVE LOVED THE TALL METAL CHAIR AND CUT A HOLE GOR A TERRA COTTA POT.BUT NOT SURE HOW TO CUTTHE HOLE AND DEAL WITH THE SHARP EDGE.... so want to find a wooden tall bar stool.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Neat idea

[@HeatherHalsey-vw2gh]

I have never really seen u work with spray paint❤ Beautiful projects as always ❤❤❤

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thank you so much!

[@margaretdillinger5090]

Love these flips and thank you for the tips. 😊❤

[@OurUpcycledLife]

You are so welcome!

[@marih3286]

I would have turned it the other way so the larger round would provide more stability...

[@sandynuber1509]

Deidre, I love all of your upcycles. I looked in your description to see if you had that stamp that you used on the leaves. 😞 Do you have a link for the stamp? Much love from Texas ♥️🤠

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Unfortunately I don’t have a link

[@donnalayne2395]

All of your projects turned out so beautiful!! I had to laugh out loud when you took that piece of wood outside to your driveway 😂 but you were so right that shelf turned out so so so good it was definitely my favorite!! ❤ I have primitive decor in my home and the rougher something is the better it looks in my opinion 😁

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@bitty_bytes001]

Is there a finish besides the Krylon spray? Because I do not like the smell, is there anything non toxic?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

You can use mod pdoge

[@bitty_bytes001]

Oh okay.. I happen to have that on hand. Great. Thankyou. @@OurUpcycledLife

[@SusanneCape]

The first project was not cleaned up, or did you not film that? Many thanks.

[@suziecreamcheese211]

You may have wanted to put that red pedestal up side down for more stability.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Great tip

[@jillmadonna6874]

Beautiful vision you have, I find that kind of great stuff also but just stare at it or admire it as is because i lack the upcycle vision you have. i also am sad to see folks spraying all that toxic spray paint. Why is there only toxic spray paint? I have used a pump sprayer for nontoxic paint at times...is the toxic spray paint the only thing that works on metal? thanks for sharing.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

It works best on metal unfortunately. I always use it outside

[@rosalindalozano233]

Howdy, what is the brand of your Brad nailer. I love it!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

It is a electrical brad nailer. I have since upgraded to a ryobi cordless

[@adamswiggan]

Check for lead paint?

[@Liz-wn9bp]

You are the MacGyver of up cycling lol

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Lol!!! Glad you our enjoying

[@pamcadd8658]

Diedre, what brad nailer do you use? I'm looking for one that is light weight enough for me to easily use, but I can't find one that is electric (not cordless/battery or pneumatic) that drives nails longer than 1". If yours is limited to these shorter nails, do you find this to limit its usefulness? Once again, your creativity is inspiring - but I envy your access to a dump where you can find interesting stuff. Here in Washington State, everything is thrown into a pit for the landfill and there isn't a place to pick up stuff.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Yes you are limited with and electric. I just bought a ryobi cordless

[@soniabanwell6670]

Hi Deidre, is the engine enamel u used a clear coat?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Yes, it is

[@judigood4606]

Hello! Thank you for all the wonderful ideas.. I wish my brain worked like your does. Lol I have a question… how do I get the discount on the Etsy site that you mentioned. I am not a patron but I do subscribe to your channel. Thanks so much, have a beautiful day.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

So glad you are enjoying! If you sign up for my newsletter there is a discount code included bit.ly/3NwjuK3

[@judigood4606]

I did sign up for the newsletter. But did not see a code. Sorry if I’m being nit so smart. I did get a msg with a free download but nothing for Etsy.

[@maryannbeatty8473]

I like the base you made, but the silver lid seemed like an unnecessary addition.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thanks for watching

[@peggyt1243]

That first table - the one that is now spotted red ............. I would take it right back to the dump.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

I know it isn’t everyone’s taste but I love to teach the technique and you can put your own spin on it❤️ thanks for watching

[@zanwelch9376]

Could you tell me the name of the brush you ordered from Julie that is so great to paint with please

[@OurUpcycledLife]

I haven’t ordered a brush from Julie sorry. I really link the Wooster short cut brush

[@paulaandrearincon8137]

señora muy bonito todo lo que usted hace....pero usted esta influenciando a las personas que use esas pinturas en spray y son contaminantes para el planeta

[@sylcarroll6549]

Sorry but shabby chic is not everyone's favorite, some of your projects are unique but the mixed paints are not pretty. Maybe try lighting up on colors.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Not for everyone but you can take technique and put your own spin on it

[@maryannbeatty8473]

Okay, I have to honestly say that is a very UGLY paint treatment. I like chippy, but that is a hot mess!
