Sherry, you deserve an award for the BEST UPCYCLER! Nobody I've seen doing projects with found objects on KZbin can come close to your creations. And what an unbelievable find! Who just throws out a grandfather clock like this in such decent condition....? You pulled together such a beautiful and unique creation from this clock. You are #1!!!!

[@debbiegipson4512]

To paraphrase William Blake....The hours of folly are measured by the clock; but of creativity and beauty, no clock can measure... Yours is the exception! Lovely.🥰

[@vickidunkle3698]

Oh my goodness Sherri! This is over the top creativity!❤😂😮😊

[@annenickmom]

Sherry, although your projects are consistently amazing, I hope you realize how inspiring your work has become to all of us viewers. Your willingness to take on projects of any size energizes most of us to explore our own creativity with greater courage. Thanks for sharing your time and talent with us!

[@debnem413]

So so sorry to hear of your unfortunate accident….it’s very generous of you to share your experience so that others can learn from it (must be the teacher in you!). I pray your ankle heals quickly and completely…..and, oh, the clock redo was spectacular. It makes me wonder if your neighbors put out items thinking “Let’s see what Sherry can do with that!” Be well.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you, Deb. The car accident was actually a few years ago, so I am fully recovered. You can be sure that when I saw the clock on the curb, I carefully pulled over to the side of the road! 😜

[@chrissiec5915]

@@CanterburyCottageit seems you have learned to curb your enthusiasm! 😉

[@beverlypierce596]

I love how you never give up when working on a project, but just keep going until it’s to your liking. Also I love how nothing is ever wasted!! The finished clock is gorgeous.

Thank you so much, Beverly!

[@susanwilson5101]

Yes I like that too

[@shellieglass289]

Sherry, this video recycling a grandfather clock was delivered at the perfect time for me. In my latest military move, my grandfather clock was damaged beyond repair. So this project is perfect to repurpose the pendulum, the heavy weights, and clock face. Thanks for the great idea. Shellie

[@tmerglewski814]

Sherry Sherry Sherry you are without a doubt one of the most talented and creative people on KZbin and it’s a honor to watch you every week. 🙌🥳😘

[@mrs.pattiderge6743]

Oh my word. Sherry, you clever, clever girl! I love what you did with this curbfind flip. That blue color is the best. I am so glad you weren't too banged up in your car totaling crash. A broken ankle is no fun. You probably have heard this already, but last week, one of the clues on Jeopardy was William Morris! I was so thrilled I knew the answer, thanks to you!

[@CB-pf7go]

Please tell me the magic wii never stop... these project transformation videos are amongst my favorites and this one takes the cake. Just gorgeous.

[@happystamper62]

Holy cow!!! What a wonderful transformation, Sherry!! I love everything you did to the clock and it looks fabulous in that space! :)

[@maryperner9625]

A very fine transformation, although I agree with you. I'd love to have seen the cat bed.

[@carolkokx9638]

The clock is absolutely gorgeous

[@cherylparish1375]

When I got my first glimpse of the grandfather clock, I already thought "no way would I consider taking it". I cannot tell you how much I love it now! I walked away from one in a Goodwill store thinking I could not remake it into anything salvageable. All I can say is wow!!!! I have a small area in my family room where I have an inexpensive ladder bookcase that needs to be replaced. The hunt is on! Thank you for the inspiration! This would look amazing in that room!

[@mazegwaard1220]

Hello Sherry, you are a gifted lady and for me your magical, greetings Marja

[@CanterburyCottage]

Wow, thank you, Maze!

[@diandreawilliams1799]

Everytime I see a clock, I think of you. I know how you love to turn them into a work of art. The clock is beautiful ❤

Oh, that is so sweet! Thank you! 😊

Long live the Queen of Decordom!!! Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah! You are fantastic! I’m so thankful you were driving along at just that moment to find the clock! Wow! I’m also thankful you have recovered from the previous accident with no severe problems and grateful you shared your story in order to help others♥️

[@Prettynickle]

Oh my gorgeous! Such a wonderful finished clock. You always improve any item!

[@paulaspirito7698]

How can so much creativity be in one person?! You have left me in awe once again. Thank you for choosing to share your gift with us.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much, Paula! 😀 You are so sweet!

[@buzzyboo6673]

Every time you added a piece of the workings to the finished clock, it made it that much more perfect. You are always so creative. I bet this piece is not going into your store! It's beautiful where it is.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much! Yes, as I was loading the clock into my car, I was already brainstorming where I could put it!

[@shirleywashington4969]

I can’t help wonder if You’re family members and friends worry they be Unrecognizable when they leave your house as you were compelled to embellish them You are AMAZING Thank You SO much for sharing! 🌺🌸🌼

[@dedeodell1016]

The grandfather clock is a showpiece. Gorgeous

[@thechickincharge1073]

That turned out amazing! The color is so vibrant and I think the gold accents make the face seem like a show piece. I have had many a near accident looking for yard sales and curb shopping. I am so sorry that happened to you! It is so hard not to over react when you get back in the car after an accident. I totaled a gorgeous red truck driving in a storm. I was at a stop sign afraid to move because the rain storm was so heavy I couldn’t see anything right in front of me. People behind me were mad because I was just sitting and they kept honking their horn. I was a complete nervous wreck! After a full 5-10 minutes of sitting I let my foot off the break without touching the gas and tried to ease on the highway and was hit immediately. I was a jumpy driver for almost a year afterwards. I wasn’t hurt though, praise Abba! I am thankful it was only your ankle, Sherry! This project was amazing and you give me so much courage to step out and try new things!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you! I hate driving in storms. It is so frightening when you can barely see anything! I’m so glad you weren’t seriously hurt. Because I couldn’t drive for six weeks while my ankle healed, I was a nervous wreck when I finally got behind the wheel again.

[@chrissiec5915]

Oh the suspense! But I resisted the urge to skip to the end, and watched with bated breath as the masterpiece unfolded. It was so worth it - beautifully done!

[@lindakomoll1525]

WOW! I love watching you turn others trash into your treasures. Thank you for sharing your crafting journey!

[@southerntoucan4059]

Beautiful! I have three in storage wondering what to do with them. Thank you for showing me what I can do with them. I have known a lot of talented ladies, you come out on top!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you! This is a good project for an inexpensive or broken clock. It would be hard to paint a really nice vintage clock.

[@carolthomas5187]

Yes, yes, yes, she sure does

[@lauriehuber3040]

The clock turned out amazing! Love that you added the pendulum and parts as part of the display. The bird trans fare really added a lot of character. Opening up the bottom was a great idea and carried the bird theme as well. (glad no cat bed was added🥰)

[@TJ-mu6ud]

Sherry, your creativity and imagination transforming trash to treasures never ceases to amaze me!!!

[@judyg8557]

What an absolutely amazing clock transformation! Every time I think you're finished with a project, you add another beautiful element!!! I just love watching your imagination and creativity at work as you transform items. You give me so much inspiration and motivation in every video! Thank you!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much! You’re so sweet, Judy! 😊

[@ellenc.1685]

I love how you use the mallet on objects. You have the vision of a sculpter. As a child, were your parents ever concerned about their furniture pieces? Leave you alone long enough and everything is transformed! Love, love, love the clock. The bottom as a cat bed is brilliant. Thanks for sharing about your accident. Also, have been using Fetch since you shared it previously. It really works.

[@kblack8770]

Sherry, you turned an ugly duckling into a beautiful swan. The leftovers found a place to live, in the clock, also. Your home is such an inviting place and I appreciate you sharing so much with us. You know Sherry...It could be that you will walk past your clock one day and find you have a "Catbird" investigating that bird nest. Stay Blessed, Happy and Safe. Karen in North Carolina.

[@maryfrankey3102]

Hi Sherry, What a beautiful transformation ! I am amazed how you used the clock pieces as part of your decor for your curbside flip. Thank you for sharing your advice about safety and I hope you have healed well after your accident ❤

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, Mary! The car accident was a few years ago, so I am fully recovered. I feel very lucky because it could have been much worse.

[@genevievemurray7743]

This clock is maybe one of your greatest upcycles. Reproduction grandfather clocks look as cheap as they actually are but you’ve made it made it magnificent.

[@Marsha465]

Beautiful transformation. What a vision you have to be able to turn this clock into a updated version.

[@annorthover9681]

Absolutely beautiful.

Wow that turned out so beautiful Sherry! I must keep my eye out for something similar. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@fantan04]

Hi Sherry ☺️ What an amazing transformation - the clock looks so lovely, as does everything you have placed inside it! You have such super ideas and a real talent for putting them into practice! Monday evenings in the UK are extra special for me because of you and your wonderful channel! Thank you so much Sherry! 🥰🥰🥰 Ann x

[@sharlesb7735]

You blew this one out of the park! I absolutely love what you did, every part of it is superb, and where you situated it in your house is perfect.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much! You are so kind! 😊

[@chrisn4023]

My mom's uncle made her a child's kitchen cupboard out of a old grandfathers clock when it stopped working. She said it was beautiful with glass door and wooded shelves with cup holders. I wish she would of saved it for me and my girls. I loved your idea too. I think it came out great!!

[@erinplunkett4123]

The clock cabinet came out beautiful. My cat would love the space on the bottom! I was in an accident similar to yours years ago. I have permanent damage from mine and I was the passenger. I am glad you did not get hurt worse, nor anyone else.

[@terriallen2537]

Sherry... You ALWAYS Amaze me!! Your talent is beyond measure. Everything you touch, revamp and/or create is absolutely STUNNING! So thankful you share your talents on KZbin. You are such an inspiration!! Take care and watch out for stopped vehicles. 😘

[@ruthfitzwater-cn3vc]

I love your “can do” attitude, Sherry! I smiled when I heard you ask if we ever shopped from the curb…since I actually found a “free” metal shelving unit on my way home from supper with friends last night!

[@anniehamilton1709]

Love how this piece turned out, very clever. I love checking out what others discard. TFS

[@andreacapaldi4300]

Absolutely stunning and I love the added shelves and the bottom open 👍👍👍

[@melissahyatt9626]

I am sitting here in complete and total awe. Just blown away. Great job, I absolutely love it!

[@sharenp3839]

Oh I do love this clock!!! Live and learn, at least that accident wasn’t worse, and you learned a valuable lesson. Years ago I had a yard sale. My girlfriend had surgery and wasn’t supposed to drive. But she just knew I’d have stuff she would want lol. So she drove, was looking at the stuff in my yard and hit a parked car. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@audreyrigney3856]

What a clever and amazing job you did, Sherry! I hope you invited the previous owner of the clock to come by to see it's transformation ☺ Well done.

[@laurajeffcoat4731]

I knew how much you loved clocks Sherry, but WOW this was huge. I absolutely love what you did to this grandfather clock. Amazing transformation 🤗💓💕💞

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much, Laura!

[@catherinestrong4470]

Wow love what you done with the clock. Amazing things you come up with from curb finds

[@sherylcarter6242]

I scraped the side of a parked car once looking at houses, I feel your shame! The clock turned out great and I love your whimsical touches.

[@karenoberg4260]

William Morris paper would look pretty in side the clock

[@angelgirl8544]

Wow. That was an amazing transformation.

[@CanterburyCottage]

You continue to amaze me with your ideas!! So glad you survived your accident , so you can be here to share with us !! LOL !! Seriously, I"m very glad it wasn't more severe. Take care!

Hi, Sherry. The grandfather clock is one of the best makeovers I’ve ever seen anywhere. A-mazing!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you! 😊

[@SueHawkins6816]

You are one creative lady. I love how you can look at a piece, envision something different and then make it happen. My favorite part is the bird on the chain. It just speaks to me. What a great idea.

What the holy heck?! Your creativity is absolutely incredible! I never would have dreamed this up for an old grandfather clock! Wow!

Oh, thank you, Misty! My car accident was a few years ago, and I am fully recovered. You can be sure that when I saw the clock on the curb, I carefully pulled over to the side of the road! 😜

[@katspaperdesigns5146]

I think this is your best transformation yet! LOVE this so much! I think I will transform my pine china cabinet after seeing this!!! TFS!!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you! I would love to see our china cabinet when you finish. Be sure to take a “before” photo.

[@brendamathis4374]

It always makes me laugh how you don't have any problem going after something(rubber mallet )once you've made your mind up. Lol. How beautiful!!!! You are so creative. What a blessing you are to all of us. Thank you!

[@robinwebb2160]

Oh my 😃The flipped results of that clock are just amazing!😍

[@mountainmama2101]

I was wondering how you would address that tacky gold color on the columns near the clock face when you started out. Now I feel silly because you had a perfect solution, as always. I also want to say how grateful I am that you don't do pottery barn dupes every single video. What you do takes real know how and creativity. I am always in awe of your work.

[@lynedington5587]

What a great use of the space inside the clock. It is stunning!

[@annacooremans485]

Absolutely stunning transformation of that grandfather clock. Hopefully they won't see your video or they'll want it back😊

[@CanterburyCottage]

[@melbabowen4389]

Even though the grandfather clock is not a priced item, I still can’t believe anyone would just throw it away! It turned out beautifully!❤ I hate your fractured your ankle. I was in a very bad head on collision 2 years ago, fracturing my ankle. Oh my, it was so painful, but it healed very well. Take care of it ❤
