50 Unexpected Ways to Repurpose Your Old Stuff into Home Decor: Ultimate Trash to Treasure Upcycles

[@maryellenyork2819]

It is rare that I will watch such a long video, but your ideas are worth the time.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you, Mary! I hope you get some good ideas along the way!

[@valeriemacrae8441]

Oh yes indeed

[@ReversedImages1165]

I had an old mailbox and put a flower arrangement in it and it wasnt long before a momma bird had 6 babies in her prebuilt home. They were so sweet then they learned to fly away. I miss the little guys but it was nice watching momma take care of them.

[@conniemorgan8402]

I use an old mailbox in my shade garden to hold some hand tools and a small plastic container with a lid holds my gloves (don’t want spiders in my gloves!!)

[@debjones9312]

Could watch 50 minutes of your creativity every week! Your ideas are always really good!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Wow, thank you! You are so sweet, Deb!

[@chalmadanes405]

Making vintage decor out of goof off can? YOU’RE A MANIAC. I love it!!!!

[@WhitsLancaster]

Right??? When I saw that, I thought "she's insanely GOOD"!! Wow, she's got mad skills!!

[@donnamcl6134]

Oh my Sherry you have the most creative mind of any crafter I watch on KZbin! Thank you so much for sharing your ideas with all of us and the great instruction so we can recreate the projects! ALL OF THEM ARE MY FAVORITE!!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much, Donna! I’m so glad you enjoyed this longer video!

[@SD-nh5yr]

Amen ❤❤❤

[@lumontoya9439]

Sherry, I loved this video! I realize it was longer than your usual ones but I was so interested in each project that it was over before I knew it! You have such innovative ideas - I took notes on several. It’s so hard to pick a favorite. I’m hoping to try the teapot sewing kit, globe light cover on candle stand to use like a cloche, scale out of alarm clock and stove burner cover to name just a few! I really feel like I can do it! May God bless you with good health and uncountable ideas to teach us for home decor! Take good care.

[@lisa1340]

52 minutes of your creativity!! I am so excited to grab an iced tea and watch your magic!!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, Lisa! Hope you enjoyed it!

[@donnaallen5295]

You're a pure source of inspiration. I have to watch every week to see your ideas. Watching longer videos of your creations? Count me in.😊

[@pamahlvers4790]

I really like the miniature frame pin cushion. So very cute!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you! 😊 I use that pin cushion in my craft room (and I do leave it sitting out all of the time).

[@elel9612]

Mondays can be a stressful start to a long week, but know i can reward myself with a visit from Sherry that evening! I honestly remind myself several times throughout the day. I not only love the projects, but I think Sherry is a wonderful, talented woman. And the longer the video, the better!

[@jodihepler6202]

I like the cigar box shelf, the book box hidden storage, and the tin containers.

[@Loveable03-y8r]

I love your ideas thank you for shinning your Brightest cheapest light on us God Almighty bless you ❤️✨🌟☀️❤️

[@mnieder5300]

Waiting on my massage appointment and there was no better way to relax than to watch your videos....

[@jacquenewton9279]

Sherry, I love all of your videos but this one was, by far, my favorite! Please do more like this! My favorite was the Christmas scene inside the mailbox! Love and Blessings❣️

[@PaulaJDW]

Mine too!!!

[@pennyhays4547]

I will refer to this video often for inspiration. You could make a three hour video and I would love it. I look forward to Monday evenings with you.

[@coriadams2195]

I appreciate you so much. I am on disability; so every penny counts. I’m at home and desperately want everything to be nice. I really think you have a gift from God.

[@laurajeansimons5212]

Bonus !!! A long video was the perfect thing on this Monday afternoon.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Hope you enjoyed it, Laura Jean! It took SO MUCH editing to get it down to about 50 minutes long.😜

[@mikki3961]

Settled in with my cat and tea for 50 projects...wowza!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Yay! Hope you enjoyed it!

[@jakhan4203]

In creative heaven watching this compilation...sad when it ended lol. You are simply the most creative and 'tasteful' creator!!! ❤

[@CanterburyCottage]

Wow, thank you! You are so sweet! 😊

[@sandicantz2003]

Sherry, so sorry about the storm hit you took after that beautiful patio garden makeover. AND, you still managed to put out a 50-minute Monday video. You go, girl!

[@MalcolmAndrews1965]

My favorites were the knife block book stand, and the cutting board wall displays. Great ideas!

[@diandreawilliams1799]

I sat down to watch your weekly video. I realized this video had fifty projects. I hit pause, got a cup of coffee and settled in.😂 I could watch you for hours. I literally did after your first video came on my KZbin. I have said it before and I will say it again, " You never disappoint and I can't pick a favorite. " lol

[@Heyheyrayeraye]

A 50 minute Sherri video?? Yes please! ❤

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you! 😊

[@Heyheyrayeraye]

@@CanterburyCottage you have the BEST ideas! I see at LEAST one thing I want to try in every video.

[@brendawagner6590]

WOW! I'm in awe of your creativity Sherry! I will never look at a can of Goof Off the same again! I never would have thought of most of these 50 ideas but I am saving this video to review for each time I'm thinking of donating or throwing something out. My mind is blown.

[@laurawilliams7122]

Loved the bookstand at the end. Very creative! 🙂

[@annfitch2801]

The wooden bowels on cutting board

[@serenakoleno9338]

Love the longer video! Must have been a labor of love for you. My favorite was the teapot sewing kit. My grandmother was a seamstress and I am currently reading The Seamstress of Sardinia. A mother's day gift to myself was 5 bags of books from the library booksale! 😊 I enjoy all the book themed projects. I also enjoy tin/metal ones. I watch the other crafters who use more plastic, but prefer natural materialls. TFS. I hope everyone is enjoying their spring! 82 degrees yesterday, 54 today 😂

[@dianeburnett894]

You, my dear friend, are an absolute genius! And a blessing to all of us truly frugal thrifters. I must say, though, sweet Sherry, you make me very nervous around power tools!❤😅❤

[@annclark2075]

I loved all of your creations in this video. You are a woman after my own heart. My grown kids sometimes call me a borderline hoarder. I often find things I have no idea what I will do with. My idea is they will eventually let me know what they want to become. Love reused things. Thanks for giving some of your ideas.

[@lgcushman9154]

I read that "cheap" refers to quality, while "inexpensive" refers to cost. NONE of your projects are cheap! LOVE this video!! GREAT ideas!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Great point! I’m so glad you enjoyed today’s video!

[@sheldaschimmel4970]

Very the vido

[@marcellabrisboy7915]

At least she reuses and recycles things, which is why I love her channel. Things can be done in a budget or inexpensive and cheap. May not be someone else's budget, but the whole concept is to get ideas that we can use of our own projects or recreate for our own taste. Ones who use crickets are expensive and even though I don't own one I still watch the videos for ideas for home projects.

I love the idea of tote bags made out of the worn quilts. So unique.

[@sylviajones4907]

That pot lid with added handle & made into a clock was really impressive. The large "art works" from wrapping paper looked elegant.

[@carolynasfour5644]

Usually when a video talks about upcycling, they just show you one idea, that they slightly vary from each craft, it's just the same item but different color or material, but they title the video "25 new ideas for upcycling" But, what you have done, is give actual, useful, clever, fun, and usable ideas! So refreshing, so excited to be a new subscriber, I look forward to all your videos. Thanks and have a fantastic day!

[@Violet316]

There were so many good ones, but I loved what you did with the glass jewelry box terrarium #49.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, Violet! 😊

[@g.mitchell8915]

My favorite is the terrarium towards the end. You see those old jewelry boxes often in the thrift stores, and they are perfect to make into your terrarium.

[@gm145]

YOU HAVE A NEW FAN! I absolutely love your channel! I just found it and now I’m binge watching. Your up cycles and your decorating ideas are thinking outside the box.😍

[@janmcguire5268]

I collect those glass cat votive holders. I would never have thought to put plants in it! How clever!

[@ChristineDuval-cy5ck]

Love them all. I liked the cigar box shelf, the cutting board with half bowl.

[@janmcguire5268]

I love how you transformed to tote with a logo! I thrift totes like that all the time. Now I know how to make them look great!!!

[@merryaijlman7833]

Yours are the only videos I watch from start to finish. I tend to creep forward with my finger because I get impatient. I loved all your creative projects and as I have stated before I can't wait for Mondays to see what you have come up with. I also appreciate the amount of time it takes each week for you to create your videos. You are so very much appreciated Sherry. I think you are in your element. ❤❤😊😊

[@lu.czuczi]

Awesome, stunning, beautiful, charming... what else could I say? True vintage for free. You are creative in right way 🙂👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Me and my old stuff thank you so much for your great and lovely ideas 😃😃😃

[@JacquelineGarcia-ds4vz]

I typically prefer shorter videos, but your creative, outside-the-box ideas are worth the watch! I liked the embellished seashells, best.

[@juliacockroft8745]

I really enjoyed this longer video as a refreshing change. My favorite projects were the magazine/cutting board holder and the bird bath from the round serving tray. 💝

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed the longer video.

The second jewelry box terrarium was so pretty. I don't think I've seen that one before. Gorgeous

Hello Sherry!!! LOVE the longer videos. I'm unable to pick a fave since they're all beautiful. I've seen these projects before but you have so many great ones it's nice to have a reminder.

I loved every project and am in awe of your imagination. when you start a project, I pause the video and think of what I would do with the items that you are working with then I watch you transform them into objects of desire that are amazing. The Lord richly blessed you with a mind full of treasures. Thank you for sharing them with us.

Thank you, Jo Jo! I love that you pause the video. How often do I do what you would do?

[@jojow8416]

@@CanterburyCottage Oh my goodness, your imagination is way out of my league and I am honored that you thought you and I might have the same idea of giving an old item a new purpose. NOPE, I never get it right and am so delighted to see all the steps that you so generously share to create objects of interest. Today I went to the Salvation Army and saw so many things that you would immediately see possibilities for. Sadly, I stood, stared and tried to remember some of your projects. So I am home doing my homework by watching your videos again. Oh the possibilities are endless.

This was a fun video to watch. My previous church replaced the old glass chandelier lights when we updated sanctuary pieces. Two of those old chandelier lights are now terrariums inside the front doors. I recognized that project as soon as you began. One of the things I want to update at my home is a new mailbox because my existing mailbox doesn't close tight. When I saw you remake a couple of old mailboxes, I remembered that I'd seen an old mailbox in the garden for small garden tools. Of course, I will want to cutesy it up a la Sherry. I'm also thinking an old mailbox might be the perfect container mounted outdoors near my grill to store grill utensils and gloves.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, Linda, thanks for sharing those ideas! Love them! I don’t have any extra mailboxes right now, but as soon as I spot one at the thrift store, I’m going to use your idea!!!
