DIY Upcycling Thrift Flips into Unique Home Decor (Using the 3 B’s)!

[@CanterburyCottage]

I AM SO SORRY! I thought the Waterlogue app was free; I don’t remember paying for it. However, it costs $3.99 for a one-time purchase fee. AND, it is available only on Apple products. If you are an Android user, the Artsy app which has a free version also has a watercolor effect option. Another app, Ollie, also has a watercolor feature; it costs $1.99 for a one-time purchase fee. Again, I am so sorry. I didn’t do my homework this week!

[@marymahoney233]

I’m glad it costs money! My first thought when it was free was that nothing is free- they are probably farming information, particularly with access to your photos. But if they are charging- chances are they are more legit. At any rate, it looks like a great app !

[@shellydehart8217]

All is forgiven ♥️😊👍

[@lovingmayberry307]

Was just coming here to tell you it's not free. In fact, the only version i could find for Android was $3.99.

[@katmcc1517]

My android has a watercolor filter in the photo app - maybe not quite as nice, but fun to play with!

[@sandrahenkel-johnson9398]

FYI, I just checked my Apple App Store and this app is $3.99.

[@linmoore4068]

Do you sleep? Your brain must never rest with so many different ideas running through it 🤣. Your creativity amazes us

The book with the greenery growing out it so clever and beautiful

[@lesliejackson8188]

*Sherry, I have L🤍VED birds, 🐦 flowers (blooms)💐and books 📚 since I was a small child. I had a favorite tree growing up with the perfect "Y" in the branches. You could sit in the "Y" with a leg slung over each side and read for HOURS. It was really high up, so if I was quiet 🤫 and no one looked up, nobody knew I was there. I sat up there in my perch and surveyed the neighborhood and the open fields that had been farm land (it was a new housing development) and soaked in the breeze, the lilting sounds of birds 🕊as they sang and chirped - and simply enjoyed nature all around me - with the wildflowers growing in the field near the tree. Summers were magical and serene. If my Mom hadn't seen me for awhile on a sunny summer day, she knew I could be found in my "reading tree" and sent one of my siblings to fetch me for lunch or dinner. 😊*

[@shewhispers45]

What a beautiful memory you shared of this tree from your childhood. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. I had a tree too right next to my front door and in the Spring I would climb up it to visit with the birds that would build their nests up there. I was an adult though and often my husband would come outside, look up and see me there, shake his head and go back in. He left me alone while I communed with nature. I was in my happy place. 😊

[@foxymama9203]

What a great memory! I, too, had a reading tree in the woods behind my childhood home! I feel so sorry for this generation’s children who mostly don’t know what it is like to roam the woods and discover the beauty and wonder of nature without distractions from technology. For reference, I am 60 years old. Those magical memories are some of my best!!

[@frankietindell56]

Sheri, the 3B’S are Birds, Blooms and Books. I always enjoy your video’s so much, I hate for them to end. I wish you could do one everyday. That’s how much I enjoy them. I hope you have a beautiful week.

[@flowerpower3618]

If you love gardening , you are naturally inclined to this

[@ellenl5626]

The Frankenstein bookshelf was such a clever and unexpected way to repurpose two items!

[@spbrown04]

My favorite color is green, so I’m not complaining! Honestly, the two books that were nailed together in the final project had such lovely blue covers that I didn’t really think they needed to be painted.

[@doig18]

I really like all of the projects today. The last one I absolutely loved the books blue and thought it looked better that way, but realize it’s a personal preference. I had forgotten the candle trick with melting the flowers into it and can’t wait to try that!

[@nancykintner9177]

I believe homes should reflect the people who live in them....and your home does that...❤

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you, Nancy! What a lovely compliment!😊

[@Elizabeth-arb22]

All of your projects are lovely, but the "Frankenstein" hanging bookshelf with the beautiful carved frame just touches my heart. I love all your inspired, and inspiring projects! 💚💚💚

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh thank you!😊

[@joannsnyder6667]

I am adding the 3C’s. Cute. Clever. Creative !!! You never disappoint 😊. Happy Spring Sherry🌷🌺💐🌸🕊️🦜📕📘📙

[@bonniebonnie7149]

Books, botanicals, and birds!

[@flowerpower3618]

The book with the flowers would make an adorable dining room table decor for a ladies luncheon

[@debreno7734]

Or maybe 4 b's? Blooms, boards, books, birds. Such creative ideas!

[@grannygarden5887]

I really loved how many candle stands you used. My favorite project was the white and lavender flower candle stand that you said you would use as a soap dish. I got to thinking how nice yours would look in a bathroom. Edgar Allen Poe is my favorite author so the book ends drew my interest. Thank you Sherry for all your hard work and just you being you . Mondays wouldn’t be the same without you. Blessings

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much, GG! I have a bathroom makeover coming, so I may have to make a unique soap dish. As an English teacher, I loved teaching Poe; the kids always liked his creepy stories! Just thinking about it is making me want to read some of his stories again.

[@barbaradzitko1826]

Sherry, your energy and creativity astound me. These projects are too adorable. Can't pick a favorite.

[@chrismatheson4376]

I'm not keen on purple and sometimes yellow and brown irritate and annoy me. Some lovely ideas Shelley. Thank you for sharing. Every blessing!

[@linw5302]

Also annoyed by some browns. Annoyed is exactly the right word!

[@mals86]

I don't care for purple either.

[@TriniMonstera]

I dislike lavender furnishings, bedding, walls, drapery and clothes. But I do like lavender flowers.

[@melindashahan6836]

I LOVE what you come up with. That bird bath candle stand with birds was so adorable!! The bird coming out of the oval frame was so cute also. That book did look like it was growing flowers!

[@dianeknott3655]

I LOVED the open book with the flowers!!

[@karenstone4475]

Books and birds are 2 of the “b’s”. Waiting to discover the 3rd!!

[@alenazima7474]

Loved every project you made especially flowers blooming from the book. Thank you 😊

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much! The blooming book was my favorite project this week, too.😊

[@MsKatillac]

My guess was books, birds, and blooms...I was close!

[@janetbirkmann669]

Bows, butterflies and birds was my guess before watching the video! Oh well, I got one out of three! Fun video!

[@roxiewallace2900]

WOW, WOW, and WOW!! You have the greatest imagination! All of these "B"s were so creative! Flowers coming out of a book!!! 😮 One of your best videos so far!!

[@teresacamp3365]

My guess would be Birds, books and butterflies, buttons, blooms, baskets, but can't forget bows you are the queen of the b......things. lol love everything you always do just something about bird cages I love as well !

[@kimberlyscrivner9373]

My favorite is the book with the flowers coming out of it.

[@lydialangfordjoiner765]

I was so enamored by your crafts that I totally forgot about the 3 B’s. You astound me! I enjoyed seeing all of these so much, I’m about to watch this again. Thank you for sharing dear Queen of Decordom.👑

[@lanet9442]

These were some great fresh ideas…my favorite was the book with the flowers in the middle!

[@christinewilliams7005]

The picture with the bird popping out is a really cute idea! I really like the painted candle stand with the 2 birds clipped on and the eggs. AND the birdcage project was pretty. They were all great projects - good job, Sherri!

[@IndieAnnieJones1]

These are my favorite B's Blossoms, Birds and Books and bountiful inspirations which you always provide!!! Thanks for all these wonderful ideas!!!

[@AmandaBishop-v6j]

You are my favorite crafter on KZbin! You explain everything so well, I appreciate how well you take your time and your ideas are amazing. Keep up the videos! Thank you 🙏

[@CanterburyCottage]

Wow, thank you! You are so very kind! 😊

[@bevhueffmeier949]

I absolutely love the book and growing flowers. All these projects were wonderful!😊

[@debrap947]

I love the bookends but as a bookworm, they take up space for more books! 😆😆😆

[@mbcnetwork9346]

A long time ago, when a friend & I were in grade school, my crayons had a color called "sea green". We both disliked it & called it "seasick green". Ironically, I really like it now.

[@CanterburyCottage]

I think I know that crayon color! I hated green when I was little. I never wanted the green place marker in board games. But, like you, now I love green-including sea green!

[@SouthernMama2five]

My guess is Birds, Books and Brass (?). It was so fun to watch you create these fun projects. I loved the bookends and the blooming book!

[@jackieberisford7267]

My favourite was the book with the flowers coming out in the middle. THANKS FOR ANOTHER LOVELY VIDEO

[@carolsopinski4549]

Ok! That Tulip candle stand is awesome❤. Thanks for all the creativity!!!

[@chantelz1093]

I am inspired by all these creative videos and create many decors by myself. I collected them and threw away yesterday. After all these fun making, the house is filled up with junk.

[@sherilynpeters6459]

I look forward to Monday to watch your creative videos. Todays video did not disappoint. The 3 B's Birds, Books and Blooms was a cute way of starting your video.😊

[@margaretdillinger5090]

Yeah, I knew it but didn’t write it down. My words are “ creative genius”. Every project was so beautiful but the birdcage ended up being my favorite. The bird bursting forth was just wonderful. You never disappoint, never. 😊❤

[@mauriemartin6080]

Oh my, I LOVE all of these! It amazes me how everything you touch ends up looking high end & sooo pretty!

[@kerstindrost5610]

Books, birds and butterflies

[@CanterburyCottage]

That is a great guess!

[@itzasunnyday4me]

My favorite was the frame shadowbox. 3 B's has to be birds, books......equals "brilliant"! 😊 Thanks for sharing.

[@journalsbyfranca1272]

I absolutely love the gold candlestick made from the tulip candlestick! It is absolutely gorgeous and looks very vintage and elegant. ❤

[@triciacaliri9244]

I love the flowers growing out of the book! Pure genius!! 💐

[@bethbenson1931]

Oh my gosh, watching you is so much fun. I have been looking for small birds, but they seem to be a little too expensive even at the thrift stores. I went to a yard sale a few weeks ago and was able to buy a box of 13 assorted small birds ranging in price from 25 cents to a dollar. I was so thrilled ! I have gotten 2 nice bird cages and lots of candle stands, so I will have so much fun once we move. Thanks for the lovely ideas you shared with us today. They were all winners! 😊

[@CanterburyCottage]

You are so welcome! I am so glad you found some reasonably priced birds. I sometimes buy thrift store wreaths and floral arrangements because I really like the bird in it! 😜

[@judywilliamson2068]

Birds, butterflies, and books. Those seem to be your three favorite B’s!

[@conniemaniaci3612]

Loved all the thrifts. So easy, anyone can do them. Thank you!❤

[@theopkingdom3433]

The book ends are amazing!

[@wanderandwonder5717]

Love this week's video. My favorite was the break out bird picture frame. I can't wait to create one!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Yay! Thank you! Try to find a thin resin bird to use, or you might even try breaking a ceramic one.

[@carolyntalley3790]

I love the 2 candle holders that you put together. And also the box turned into a shelf

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, Carolyn! 😊

[@barbarafuhrman7395]

Always feel more energy an talent after spending time with you...blessed to have you as a friend❤❤❤❤❤ in the craft room😊

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much, Barbara! What a lovely thing to say! 😊

[@gizmo7877]

I love birdcages, the more unique the better but often I can’t figure out the best way to decorate them that isn’t the usual. and I adore Teal, so hard to get that color.

[@CanterburyCottage]

I think most people do love teal, and I don’t understand why I don’t. You can put anything you like in a birdcage (that will fit through the door). I have a birdcage filled with old player piano music rolls.

[@debramcadams7840]

The blooming book is soo CUTE and creative!!!

[@lauragreen4899]

Books, birds, butterfly,

[@sweetbee52]

Books📚 birds🕊️ and blooms 💐. Gorgeous every single one! 😍😍😍

[@cathycarr700]

Your channel is such a treasure to watch. You really have beautiful ideas. Thank you for sharing with me.

[@kimphilpin1062]

I was really blown away by these crafts. I could not pick one I loved best.Amazing job . Xx

[@playdohsrepublic3562]

I love the color teal. It never crossed my mind someone would dislike it so much!

[@melindashahan6836]

Beyond beautiful, brilliant, bonafide ideas!! That's the three B's!

[@vickinoeske1154]

I don't know how you continue being so darn creative.😊 You are amazing!❤

[@darlenepurcell]

Books, birds and still watching. Beautiful! You are so creative!

[@dorothybunot5994]

Oh my gosh Sherri. There's a lot of things. I wanted to buy but You went so quick. I would love you if you'll make some more of those water pictures they were gorgeous

[@mumzoleary7360]

Your imagination is endless!!! I watch in awe every week!!!

[@sherylcarter6242]

So happy to see more birds, books, and blossoms! Happy Spring friend!

[@kathyallen6238]

I really liked the transformation of the cast iron white bird bath. I didn't get blossom; I thot the 3 B's were birds, books, and blue!

[@thechickincharge1073]

Books, birds and baskets! Just guessing!😂 Okay, no baskets! It is spring so the blossoms make my heart happy! I actually have the pieces to make my version of almost everything you made in this video! I cannot wait to make them!!

[@kellieleahy66]

I love every color. Baby poop green is at the bottom of the list, though. I also gravitate towards certain colors in my home.

[@noraleestone2859]

I'm sad to hear that you dislike the colour teal. 😞 It is one of my favourites, and, in fact, adorns my nails right now. 😍 I'm drawn to the jewel tones, or dusty versions of them.😊 I loved the bird bath and the small book shelf. 🥰The bird cage and scalloped floral shelf are also in the running. 🥰 I enjoyed your video, as always, and that's no April Fool's joke. 😂 See you again next week. 😁😘🤗💖👌👍👋

[@constanceblair6625]

The Frankenstien bookshelf "monster" was my favorite, the rustic crate and more elegant frame speak to me.

[@gloriaguzman729]

The plastic frame with rose,is so beautiful!!!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, Gloria! 😊

[@PrairieMom]

OMG I totally guessed all three. I marvel at the ideas you can see in a pile of wood and florals.

[@tammycarroll710]

Another "Home Run" Sherry!! I loved everyone of them!

[@graytabbygehrke1352]

Blossoms, always, always birds, and books 😁

[@CanterburyCottage]

Ding, ding, ding! A+

[@graytabbygehrke1352]

I really don't care for the " watercolor" look.doesnt look at all like watercolor to me.

[@greatestever6738]

Hello, Sherry, thank you for all your beautiful projects. I went to the Goodwill bins and bought a used dictionary and made a place to keep stamps and return address labels. It looks great it even has gold trim. I don't have any social media,or I would send you a picture, but idea came from you and I thank you for the idea. Hope you had a Happy Easter 🐰.

[@gaylelynn4947]

Again loved everything. I bet you were a Fantastick teacher.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you, Gayle! I sure tried to be a good teacher. (There is a lot about teaching that I don’t miss, but I do miss the kids!)

[@bevviebyrom5471]

Love love the blue candle stand. My hated color is mustard yellow. Bleurgh!

[@TheSweetsherrypie]

Bird,book, bush Sherry I’m a fan, so you are my favorite ❤

[@lyndawise678]

You are my favorite crafter, you continue to amaze me with each genius thought that you bring to fruition(sp). I loved the candle stands and the blue bird popping out of the picture.

[@dorrainehudson4335]

I’ve loved the Waterlogue app for a long time. It’s so fun. I also think you might be crafting in your jammies and robe. We are kindred spirits!

[@Violet316]

Ten thumbs up, I loved almost all of them, actually, the only ones I didn't care for were the wood bookends. I tend to lean toward brass, bronze, and gold, rather than wood.

[@SueHawkins6816]

I have used the wax paper/candle method with napkins but never considered pressed flowers. Geeat idea!

[@obenpease4721]

The tulip candle stand was brilliant! But loved all of them. You make me smile.

[@t.t.6861]

I think books, birds and burns would also fit. I love the "Frankenstein"-bookshelf.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, T.T.!😊

[@brenyule]

Hello my friend! I just love the crate and frame combo you turned into a shelf. Gorgeous frame! You could even fashion a replicated corner with your clay you’ve used before. But when you dangled the greenery over the corner it wasn’t noticeable. Beautiful! The candle stick tulip combo was a fav too. I noticed the little bird peeking out the frame you used to stage with it. Too cute! 🪺🦋🐦📖

[@aolsweetsew]

I most definitely will be using the app. Chartreuse is the color I'm least fond of. I got the birds and books. Didn't catch the blossoms, but should have. Thanks for sharing your talents with the world.

[@heynursie5918]

Sherry Loved this video as always.. I was so lucky I was able to purchase the tulip candle stand! Can't wait to get it. I want to thank you again for all the lovely things I have from you to make my home better. I also have learned alot like creativity and bravery.. When my daughter was in school, she would bring home lots of books that the public library was getting rid of. She just had " to save them "

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, I’m so glad you liked the tulip candle stand! I often get criticized for “ruining’ books, but people don’t realize that thousands of books are thrown away everyday-even by libraries and schools!

[@katherineharper-sj4ys]

Sherry all of these are cute as can be. I think I like the birdcage one best though.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much, Katherine! 😊

[@mariep4018]

I happen to paint my own paintings with watercolors. But I love what you did it’s beautiful. And mine are much large paintings of big, and mostly on seascapes and landscapes of coastal cities of Europe. I don’t paint florals I’m not a flower artist. Mostly, I paint with lots of activity and people. Have a nice day. Love you are DYI you’re very creative and talented. Really come up with a lot of ideas.❤

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, Marie! I don’t call myself an artist-I can’t draw or paint (other than walls and furniture)!😜 This app is for us less artistic people who can’t afford to pay artists like you!

[@terriallen2537]

Hello Queen of Uniqueness! I get so such inspiration from watching you and your channel. You never disappoint in bringing something new, unusual, and Stunning in each video. Thanks for all you do for us. Take care and God bless 😊

[@katherinepereira9088]

Good morning Sherry - all unique and lovely projects. My favorites were the bookends, the bird bath (I love anything gold or silver) and the birds on books. Least favorite color would be orange.

[@angelaspicer2753]

🐦 🦋⚘️ birds, butterflies, and botanicals! 📚 too I guess lol

[@barbarahay6611]

the Waterlogue app is a great idea for junk journaling!

[@shellydehart8217]

Sherry, you are so blessed n gifted to be so creative. I really do admire your great talent. It was so hard to pick a favorite as they were all so wonderfully created. I just wish I had as much in my stash as you do. Hope you had a blessed Easter. ♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍🌟

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, Shelly! You are always so sweet! You don’t want a stash as large as mine-it is hard to keep it organized and under control!

[@ravenfox9647]

So unique and beautiful! I truly was inspired by the flower and book idea! I also love green and blue but the color I can't tolerate is red...

[@kristinrule4155]

I just can't decide which is my favorite so I choose all

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, Kristin! 😊

[@lindadelacy9330]

WOW!! love how the joined candle stands turned out! Brilliant idea! Oh my goodness, the birdcage is amazing. You have the. most wonderful ideas!!

[@jackielucchesi6654]

Love your Bee bathrobe!!!!! My fav are the bookends and birdcage and the books.....I say the 3 B's are birds, books and branches.....

[@connietowler3725]

Can't pick a favorite, I like them all. The one with the bird coming through the back of the frame, that was different, liked how you did that. Thank you...

[@bevviebyrom5471]

The candle stand( gold one) looks soo old world. I’m soo in love with it. Very Victorian looking,
