DIY THRIFTED TRASH TO TREASURE HOME DECOR MAKEOVER PROJECTS

In this trash to treasure episode, we're going to take some thrift store items and give them a complete makeover through DIY. We'll take a half pitcher that looks as if it is straight out of the 70's and turn it into a BEAUTIFUL French pitcher. Next, we'll take a key cabinet and make that over for my cottage for guest to hang their keys. Lastly, we are going to turn a wooden chicken that I got in Lansing into a chalkboard. If you're ready for this week's projects...then let's dive in!

The pitcher is completely transformed ✔️

[@debraadams2319]

The key holder turned out stunning

[@traceyaustin3899]

I have a lil key cabinet I thrifted too about 5 yrs ago in my stash ! Thankx for the great inspiration!!!!

[@lindafaierson6030]

I really enjoy your redos. You are one of my new favorite thrifters. My son lives in East Lansing. Went to MSU and stayed in area. He would like to move closer to Ann Arbor, because he works by Detroit. We live about hour south of Chicago. Keep up the good picking.

[@jillgott6567]

After watching your videos I now look at things differently when I shop. I consider how can I add value to upcycle and sell, how would this bring energy, color, help to my home. Love your channel

[@jodiemeschke6889]

Cute projects. Love your hangtags.

[@pamakers8439]

It's all gorgeous!

[@nanharrison2997]

Love these transformations

[@shellydehart8217]

Loved the box for keys. I think that turned out super duper nice. You really put it to the next level. ( by the way I love the kitchen you did over at your cottage. Looks like a good place to go n relax n get way from the hustle of life) I just love all your ideas you come up with. I’ve tried a few of them from watching you. I’ve got so much of them scattered in my house n I hate to get rid of them as I’m running out of places to put them. I lack storage in my house. No garage n don’t trust the attic, too many critters up there LOL. Besides I’m attached to them. Sorry Kelly, there I go again rambling on. Your the best! ♥️♥️😊👍👍👍

[@nancysnell7428]

I love all of them

Yes, I LOVE my scroll saw!!! It really is one of the best things I've learned how to use! Thank you so much for the compliment on all the rescue projects this week! I really appreciate it, Vivian!!! XOXO You have a WONDERFUL day, today!

[@maryheckler6766]

Great projects, Kelly! I especially like the menu sign, I guess because you took a plain old chicken & turned it into something so whimsical. Love it! 💕

[@FLEAMARKETRESCUE]

Thank you, Mary!!! I'm so glad you liked the projects this week! Thank you for letting me know what project was your favorite! XOXO

[@terryprice7428]

The pitcher is a late 1980's home interior piece.Back in the day the rave was blue and mauve everything. I sold this item back then.I am sure your mom remembers it. Love your channel and look forward to all your videos. Thanks for all your inspiration.

[@kathiestewart8922]

You never cease to amaze me😘

[@FLEAMARKETRESCUE]

AwHhhh, Kathie!!! Thank you!!! XOXO

[@ginacable5376]

All beautiful I like your voice too I'm just going through all your videos as I'm new.

[@thesentimentalsoul3683]

That's funny. I literally JUST painted a wood chicken in chk board paint and stenciled MENU on it. As I watched, you, I thought to myself ... "if she puts menu on that .... and you did. Giggle 🤣

[@CraftingItUpandCreations]

I just found one… haven’t did anything but good inspiration!

[@tootsie2]

Love your videos. You make it look so easy. I especially the chicken chalk board. The tea cup is precious. Thank you for sharing.

[@FLEAMARKETRESCUE]

Thank you, Barbara!!! I'm so glad to hear that you love my videos!!! That makes my day to hear!!! XOXO You have a GREAT day, today!

[@candyclay1266]

The old home interiors pitcher and bowl wall plaque that was blue and yellow flowers,the bottom piece actually will slide off the pitcher,i just thrifted one that someone painted white,and youve given me inspiration for mine.💗

[@heathermacleod7068]

Love these 🤩🤩👏🏻👏🏻

[@tammywhite4590]

Loved all of these Kelly! But my favorite was the key cabinet. Love you work! Thank you for sharing

[@ArvoMovieMaster]

Oh yes, you’ll find a use for that little pot from your teacup replant! Lovely!

[@FLEAMARKETRESCUE]

You know me....I sure will! HEE HEE

[@kimberlynolan2573]

[@hopealdridge1134]

Super cute flips, Kelly !!! I love the key box...it turn out awesome and it would also be great for jewelry ! Hope you have a great week !😄

[@FLEAMARKETRESCUE]

Thanks, Hope!!! OH...you're absolutely right....that could be used for jewelry, as well! Good eye! Anyway, thanks for the sweet compliment on my flips and for watching! You have a GREAT day, Hope! XOXO

[@rosiemorales7783]

You nailed it on all these projects! I love everything. Keep up the great work. More trash to treasure videos please🤓🌻🌻🌻🦋🦋🦋🙏

[@debrabeard2216]

Oh my goodness!! I've just got one of those 1/2 pitchers!! I'm getting ready to paint it! Thanks for the inspiration!!

[@FLEAMARKETRESCUE]

LOL...OMG...it was fate! HEE HEE Are you in our Facebook group? I'd love to see your pitcher when you're all done!

[@pamelahinatsu7195]

Hey Kelly. The teacup is so pretty. I've never seen a half pitcher and bowl. Great finish. Take care.

[@junerobbins6871]

I would have kept the raised flowers on the half pitcher. I think it would have enhanced the piece to distress that area and bring it out ! That's me. You did you and both ways are OK.

[@CrimeAsylum]

Love the vids, yes you would have needed to seal the wax for it to not be reactivated, but luckily you didn't, because it looks great!

[@marthalorden8498]

Loved your transformations. May I suggest you replace your brushes? How do you like to clean and store them?

[@anitacalivas8315]

Well we all know the chicken menu’s name is Delaine!! Great video as usual- TFI 🐓🐓🐓

[@averysnest2745]

These projects turned out amazing! DIY paint reactivates if another application is applied. That happened when you applied the ModPodge. You discovered a new technique for future projects! Great job on each one! I commented on your previous video about my mess up on the iron transfer - I didn't follow your directions on cutting out the image I made a rectangle around the image and that extra paper was melted on my fabric- UGH. I had to iron around the image to melt it and peel it off. LOL for not following directions!

[@marybronson442]

You are seriously good at your vision for your finds! I LOVE them❤️❤️❤️

[@elizabethhoney7469]

WOW I love it I'm making one. The Bowl with Pitcher I would love to have my own channel but I get sooo nerves😔😮‍💨🤔

[@tarynkriebel319]

I bought that paint one time n thought, oh my gawd, it’s blue when I bought black lol

[@cLyon-xi9os]

I have been binge watching all your videos and I am learning so much. I really enjoy you and your mom shopping together! But I have a question I haven’t been able to discover in your videos - what epoxy resin mix do you use? Do you mix it with pigment and then the paper clay? I just bought the IOD bird molds but I am a little confused about how you get the best results. Could you help a girl out?❔🤫 Thank you! (A slower video showing the process would be great for all your followers, I am sure.😁). Thank you!

[@FLEAMARKETRESCUE]

Hi C. Lyon!!! That's AWESOME and Yes, I can help a girl out!!! LOL The epoxy resin I use is Magic Sculpt. It comes in two parts. You mix both together (one white part and one gray part) and when it's mixed properly...you won't see anymore gray. I use Magic Sculpt with all my furniture applique pieces. I don't add any pigment to them. I simply paint them after I glue them on whatever it is that I was working on. In your case it is going to be a bird project. Now, you can use Paperclay...you don't have to use Magic Sculpt. The only reason I use it, is because it very durable and it goes on a lot of furniture pieces that might get knocked around. Also, I use it on all my Etsy orders so that they ship well and won't get broken? But, truly either product will would work. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching all my videos and I'm so glad that you have been learning a lot from them! XOXO

[@cLyon-xi9os]

@@FLEAMARKETRESCUE Thank you so much! You answered so promptly, too!😃 I wasn’t expecting that. You just tripled my “fan-ness” for your work and channel ! Have a great day💕

[@kraftykathy.]

How do you make the white frames around your pics in the thumbnail? I use Canva but can’t figure out how to not make it look cra cra 😂I LOVE your channel so much sherry

[@FLEAMARKETRESCUE]

Hi Kathy! Actually, I use Photoshop and there is a button that says "add stroke" and that puts the white boarder around my pictures. I've never used Canva...so, I really don't know how to do it through that platform. I'm so sorry...I wish I could help you, but again...I use Photoshop for all my pictures and thumbnails. Also, thanks so much for the sweet comment about loving my channel! I really appreciate it, Kathy!!! XOXO

[@sandraalbright2332]

Do you sell the plants with the item you worked on. Do you take them out Love your work!

[@FLEAMARKETRESCUE]

It depends...some of the photos that I take...I put in some of my own greenery to make the photo look nice and then take the greenery out and just sell the item. Throughout the summer, though...I look for greenery at garage sales and usually they are like .50 to $2.00, so if an item does needs a little greenery....I will add it to that item because it's was so inexpensive to do. I just had a situation at our booth where I took the greenery out and the item just sat there for weeks....no one bought the item. My mom came by and said, "You need some greenery in that." She took some from her "garage sale" stash of greenery and add it to it and do you know...it was sold within the week, so it just needed something, where other items...people just want the item. Hope that helps! PS>Thank you for the sweet compliment!!! XOXO

[@debbiestarrett3523]

What type of vinyl do you use for these decals on the pitcher

[@lavajones68]

Where do you get these little transfers? Adorable

[@FLEAMARKETRESCUE]

Hi Lava! I sell them in my Etsy store and on my website. Here a link to both, Etsy: www.etsy.com/shop/FleaMarketRescue and my website is: fleamarketrescue.com/product-category/transfer-decals/ If you have any questions...don't hesitate to ask! XOXO

[@lorimckenna2386]

Hi Kelly, I watched a video of yours, I can’t remember which one cuz I’ve watched them all. Didn’t you say there was a goodwill in Rochester Hills?

[@FLEAMARKETRESCUE]

Hi Lori! Yes, there is a Salvation Army in Rochester, Michigan....it's on Auburn Rd. It's my favorite one!!! They have such great stuff there!! PS> Thanks for watching all my videos!!! That made me smile!!! XOXO

What paper do you use for hang tags?

[@FLEAMARKETRESCUE]

I use a cream color card stock for the hang tags. Hope that helps!

[@annakennel356]

Do you have a source for the antique paper uses for the urn graphic?

[@cjhenderson9910]

I don’t think the first project looks like a transfer. It looked to me like a decal sticker. But, cute. I would need the correct information in order to plan projects.

[@FLEAMARKETRESCUE]

The manufacture called it a transfer, however, it I listed it under a transfer "decal" and I also have added a 5 second video on how to use it...so the customer knows what it is and how to apply it. It's one of my best sellers in my Etsy store.

[@cherielittle7815]

I wish your surface you work on was a little softener, when you move things around it hurts my ears, I love you projects
