8 Unbelievable Trash to Treasure Upcycles/Transforming Curb Finds!

[@Blessedgirl1955]

Sherry you may get tired of hearing this but I swear you are just a genius when it comes to making something unique out of thrifted or roadside finds! These were all so unique and special. I look forward to each and every video you post.

[@CanterburyCottage]

How could I get tired of hearing such nice things! You are a sweetheart! I am so glad you enjoy my videos!

[@shirleyplummer8286]

I admire you for not letting anything go to waste.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you, Shirley! (I think some of the most interesting things are made from the “leftovers.”)😊

I love that!!!

I am so glad you rescued that precious child's bench, all of it transformed! Gorgeous.

[@sing2me]

Sherry, tell your husband, "thank you", again for that child's bench. ❤

[@lindabirkes-lance8915]

I agree. I have an adult bench with very similar end pieces that I love. If I could find a child’s bench like that it would be adorable by my grown up bench.

[@gingerannamae6308]

The rose planter box/bench is gorgeous! You have the patience of a saint. ❤

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you! 😊 That lamp gave me fits. I had never disassembled a lamp like that-there were so many wires!

[@maggiesue4825]

I'm amazed by what people throw away. You have a rare gift of seeing what others don't, and bringing your vision to light!

[@mumzoleary7360]

Never a disappointment, you manage to bring new content every week. I think you are one of the best crafters on You Tube!!

[@vickinoeske1154]

The piece of wood with the animal motif looks like a piece of folk art. You never fail to amaze me with your ingenuity. ❤❤❤

[@mrs.pattiderge6743]

I admire how you save curb clutter and turn it into "gems." What a creative person you are. My favorite would be the child's bench that you utilized in several different projects. I am obsessed with the suitcase bottom and bench ends. Oh my word, it has my heart. Thanks for sharing your brilliance!❤️

The bookcase was something else! I can’t imagine being able to see ahead on something like that! And the little suitcase ❤

[@ibaber]

I am blown away seeing how you managed to use all the parts of the child's bench. I loved every items you made there.

[@donnabrasher3303]

You have great vision, Sherry. It's lovely to see you reuse and beautify items others have discarded. You are a great inspiration, keep up the great work!

[@drcwaters2012]

I can't believe how simply adding arches to that bookcase completely elevated the look!

[@patriciakumar115]

Sherry, you're indeed a makeover genius! Hands down, you're one the best on KZbin. Your transformations are always inventive and spot on! Thank you for sharing your creative genius with us.

Sherry,the change of little bench,is just stunning!!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you, Gloria! At first, I really didn’t know what I was going to do with that bench!

[@barbbell6291]

All of these projects are worth so much recognition! Giving each piece a new life by reusing other pieces of thrifted finds really brings them to life again. Good for you to see the potential, I need to train my brain to think outside the box, as you so seamlessly seem to be able to do. Each piece is so different and wonderfully unique. I look so forward to each Tuesday video from you and am never disappointed. Thank you so much.

[@tneumans]

I am so glad you did something with the sides of that child’s seat. Everything turned out amazing. I like the green color on the lamp.

[@laurieowen8696]

I am such a roadside dumpster diving crafter. I love them all. Thank you

[@diannamacdonald3716]

I really like the lamp! At first I thought the green was too much but the black wax was the right addition. The other piece I really like is the seat slats turned wall hanging with the IOD transfer. I never would have thought to use the rusted brackets on the top and bottom but it was the perfect finishing touch. Your mind is amazing, Sherry!

[@lanelothian1925]

Sherry, I love your ingenuity, especially like what you did with the mid century modern lamp, it turned out really nice. I’ve stopped before to pick up stuff at the side of the road. It give you immense satisfaction when you turn in essence someone else’s junk in to something you really like.❤

[@tinyhouse5454]

That childs bench plaque is adorable

[@gizmo7877]

I don’t know how you do it! Your imagination is endless! I loved the child’s bench outcome! You’ve even given me a few ideas too. I get so stuck sometimes it drives me crazy. You give me the push I need to accomplish many crafts. With a garage full of wood, tools, hardware, etc. I can now move forward to create one of a kind pieces that hopefully are appreciated by others and bring happiness to them. SIDE NOTE: I’m a sucker for anything wood, can’t get out of GW without at least three pieces. I need a STOP button!! You’re phenomenal!

[@bethmast6741]

I do admire your "waste not, want not" attitude. That's how I was brought up. I really like all these projects. The chair and bookcase are my faves. I've been looking for a good bookcase for the grandkids room, and I love your treatment. Craft on, my sister!

[@pamelataylor3537]

Sherry, what you do to the, items you find is amazing. God has certainly blessed you with a very talented brain. Anything you touch always looks 600% better than when you start. Most people just throw their stuff away but you always find a use for everything. I love watching you do you thing with pieces of junk. The green you used on your projects in this video looks great in your home, it suits what you’ve used it on. I love most shades of green but they don’t look good with my house and cos it’s rented I can’t do too much with it. TFS you great talent with all of us, you inspire me so much.

[@debhat]
