Sherry, do you ever sleep, or do you lay in bed at night thinking of brilliant thrift store makeovers?LOL

[@CanterburyCottage]

You are so sweet, Vicki! I do sleep (but I sometimes get ideas right before I fall asleep or right after I wake up in the morning)!😊

[@vickinoeske1154]

@CanterburyCottage You crazy woman! hehe I'm glad that you're sleeping. Your over taxed brain (from all of the creativity) needs rest.❤️😊

[@kbencsik1]

You and your creations are amazing. Extraordinary. I don't think anyone on KZbin comes close to your creativity. 👏👏👏

[@gaylebagley5612]

I just asked her if she ever slept at the same time! Great minds! 😄🌷

[@j.peluso2139]

@@CanterburyCottage you know Sherry. If I’m doing a major project on something. I can visualize exactly what to do with it, the first few minutes after I wake up in the morning.

[@Fitzwillyfl]

It’s very clear to me that Sherrys super power is out-of-the-box creativity and a out-of-this-world imagination!

[@jenjordan1832]

Every time you say, “I’m sure by this time, you’ve figured out…” I always think, “Nope, I still have no idea where you’re going with this.” You leave me pleasantly surprised every time!

[@CanterburyCottage]

LOL! I hope I will keep surprising you! 😊

[@yzolakitchi]

I think you may single-handedly, be keeping Waverley Wax in business!! I love the house-shaped wine rack. I was thinking an antiqued/mercury glass mirror or diy-ed version would make a lovely base to hide the cross-shaped base and give a pretty reflection of the plant. Those William Morris transfers worked great! I could practically smell the musty trunk through the screen! 🤩🤩

[@donnamahaffey4225]

I love all the decor you made over. I wish I could really think outside the box like you do. I love watching you create such gorgeous and unique decor. Thank you for sharing.

[@lanet9442]

Another week of great transformations…but my favorite was the suitcase to hide the litter box.

[@wendyhanberg8733]

Mine too!!! I’m definitely going to try this one!!

[@sarahz5646]

Fairy lights inside the wine rack would be neat. ♥

[@CanterburyCottage]

What a cute idea, Sarah! 😊

[@kelleyhawk6595]

@@CanterburyCottage if u want to learn how to get a genuine chippy finish, throw away the sandpaper and use cracked gesso and antiquing glaze with milk paint!

[@jodilea144]

They’re all great, but I especially like number 3! I was kind of hoping for a mouse to be peeking through, but the bird is nice too. 😊

[@carolburton5853]

Loved them all as always. No need to remove the X in the wine rack. It turned out beautifully. Thanks for sharing all your creations and how you achieve them. It sparks ideas for all of us out here thrifting. 😍

[@debbiedoodah3188]

Happy Memorial Day, Sherry! I really like the clock with the bird, the wooden bowl to hold your string, and the toothbrush holder idea! The trunk for your cat box was genius; what a special cat you have! You are so creative! ♥🌻

[@user-sk2px6ox7m]

Wow the clock with the bird just love it!

[@lindadelacy9330]

Sherry, you are SO creative-- I can't believe all of the amazing things you've made. My fave on this video was the house-shaped wine rack. Awesome transformation!

[@Jendarhan64]

Every single thing was my favorite!!!! You are so amazingly talented, honestly you should be making LOTS of money for your ideas! Seriously, I am just amazed at your creative genius. Again, I loved it all!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@bethbenson1931]

I love birds, so the lovely gravy boat with the bird and the pansies was my favorite. And pansies remind me of my mother who always had fresh pansies in a ring-shaped bowl on the hutch in the dining room. Thanks for bringing back a special memory. ❤

[@CanterburyCottage]

Love that! I have a similar memory of my grandmother. She loved irises and grew every color in her yard. Every spring when the iris bloom, I am taken back to my childhood watching my grandma work in her garden.

[@Southernbelle10]

My favorite makeover is the wine rack! It looks like a little conservatory, and I love how you styled it. The only change I would make is to paint the unpainted wood that you can see on the inside of the base. I love your show!!!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you! You are right about painting the inside! I didn’t even realize how much you could see it!

[@Purplemoons49]

I loved the gravy boat with pansies. It reminded me of my grandmother who loved pansies. It was so cute

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you! My grandmother loved irises, and they always make me think of her!

[@katherinerichardson1767]

#5 is not only pretty but very useful.

[@Cherie5353]

Dixie Belle’s Big Mama’s Butter, Orange Grove would help that old trunk smell so good. Love everything.❤

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you for that tip. I know where I can buy Dixie Belle products locally, so I’ll have to look for some Big Mama’s Butter.

[@serenakoleno9338]

Don't worry, the remedy for removing odors is kitty litter.😂. Charcoal works too. I would not use anything else, citrus repels cats😮

[@joannsnyder6667]

You have such remarkable vision! The way you transform everything is genius! Some people just paint something… add a transfer… not you… first take it apart. Hammer, saw pliers., power tools. Recreate… reinvent and voila a masterpiece! Loved the wine rack and all 9 others!!

[@user-xu2mc6bx7q]

I'd have to say it would be tie for my favorite. The gravy boat with the pansies is so sweet, but the wine rack is totally cool. Love the way you used greenery to dress them up.

[@LD10ddssaa]

I had a large trunk that I used to make a litter box. I added casters, peel and stick wallpaper on the inside and took an antique frame, installed it on one side for the entrance of the litter box. It’s great. It helps to keep the dust down.

[@PellyjellyMom]

The wine rack was my favorite but they are all beautiful. The gravy boat is very sweet with the bird and the matching flowers.

[@debrahurst1319]

Everything is perfect. I wish I had a crafty friend like you to work on projects.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you, Debra!

[@Elizabeth-arb22]

The green clock that is now inhabited by a bird and greenery makes my heart sing (and is my favorite)! Your creativity and willingness to engage in whimsey is just so wonderful! I immediately went to your store, but it has been sold. I'm not surprised as it is just delightful! Your cat's litterbox with the William Morris rub on transfers is probably the most lovely litterbox in all of North America! And the bread bowl with more William Morris designs - how adorable for such a practical purpose! Thank you for the inspiration, Sherri! ❤

[@pennyhays4547]

Glad to know someone else picks up mushrooms to save!

[@maryruggiero2884]

I absolutely love the gravy boat makeover! The flowers work so well with the gravy boat!

[@janicelang2232]

Everything is great! My favorites are the sewing basket and the simple wall pocket.

[@renyatuliszewski6726]

The gravy boat was my favorite.

[@chellepitts1990]

I love, love, love the gravy boat candle stand!!!! Everything you do sells out before the video can even be watched! You are truly gifted❤

[@jansusanjennafletcher1712]

How exciting to find matching pansies in your stash that matched the gravy boat! I have so many little items that I refuse to throw out - you give us a reason to be proud of our collections of odds and ends!

[@KJ-wh8fu]

You never cease to amaze, Sherry! All flips are lovely, but I especially like the transformed bun basket.❤

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much, KJ!

[@mauriemartin6080]

Yes, the wine rack needs a solid base in there. Turned out FABULOUS!

[@maggiefoers2038]

Hi. Your imagination has no bounds. Fantastic mind 😊🤗

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, Maggie! 😊

[@6boysareus]

Wine rack/ Greenery cage and simple bowl turned into a sculptural topiary. So creative!❤

[@janellelindstrom8407]

This demonstration was fabulous, creative, and relaxing. Love watching your nimble fingers at work. Your wine holder transformation was my favorite.

[@user-xz2nc9wh2x]

I think the string/bread basket is awesome and useful.

[@deborahnickloy5747]

Favorites: 8 (yes, I think the solid base on #8 would be even better. But it's still my favorite, especially with that chunky crock as the planter!) Then #10, It would fit in anywhere! Also love #3 - so creative! Really like how you number them at the end and let us choose our favorites. Fun!

[@shellydehart8217]

There’s no doubt about it I always fall in love with your makeovers. It’s always hard to pick favorites as there all so creative. You asked about the wine rack n if you should put a bottom on it. I say yes. That way you can change it out with different size of pots. It was my favorite too. ♥️♥️😊👍👍👍🌟 PS. I would love to have a peek at your stash. You have some amazing items in it. You manage to find some real goodies too. 🥰

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much, Shelly! I do think I need to put some kind of base in the wine rack, so I can put more things in it. I will try to take a tour of my stash in a future video.

[@laureltobiason793]

I loved how you saved the gravy boat from the landfill with that adorable idea! Now I need to find some candle holders!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you! I almost didn’t buy that candle holder because I already have so many birds. You just never know when a thrift find will be the perfect addition to a project.

[@jw1234]

The bread basket & the wine rack were my favorite make overs.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you!😊

[@kathyallen6238]

I liked the airiness of the wine rack with the plant in it. If I were putting a host of small pots in it, then a bottom would have been good, I am surprised, though, that there isn't a bird perching on it somewhere! I loved the pansy gravy boat arrangement! What a great update! The William Morris transfer on the trunk was great!

[@profkanine]

Cleaver and stunning upcycling...❤

[@lesliejackson8188]

*Today my favorite is the Pansy Gravy Boat Bird Candle Stick with greenery and pansy accents; very pretty and creative. Sherry❣️💜💛💜🖤🍀*

[@elizabethrocha975]

Greetings from Southernmost Texas where the temperature is currently 99 degrees or as the meteorologists say 120 degrees heat index. (I wish I were exaggerating.) Sherry, you did it again: I was totally entertained, but I do have three favorites -- the green clock, the green bread bowl, and the wine rack. Thank you for showing us how to see things with a new eye; my Mondays are complete because of your videos. Your Virtual Neighbor Liz

[@beeline22]

Good afternoon, Sherry! Thank you in advance for the inspiration. Hope you are enjoying your Memorial day weekend! 🇺🇲❤️, B.

[@Christie-gp2cy]

Sherri, everything looks great, but I especially liked the wine rack makeover. You are amazing with amazing with your electric saw! Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@rosiemorales7783]

#8 is my favorite. Yes, I think you should replace bottom with a piece of wood. So, so beautiful 🌻🌻🌻🦋🦋🦋

[@grannygarden5887]

Sconce at the end was terrific and i liked the laundry twine basket . All the projects were lovely , god bless you Sherry and thank you.

[@jaynegodsmark9892]

Oh my word, that clock is adorable 🥰

[@sheilagravely5621]

Sherry, leave the X in the wine rack and put a small set of twinkle lights in the bottom. I think that would be glorious. I loved the green clock with the bird, but I would have put a mouse looking through. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤

[@CanterburyCottage]

Sheila, I love both of these ideas! I never thought to put lights in the wine rack. I need to find some small mice to use in projects!

[@constanceblair6625]

Love the vintage look of all these projects.

[@kathyjones4869]

Love them all especially the wine rack transformation! It’s fine with or without an added bottom!

[@SD-nh5yr]

Hello! #3 is my favorite..... the little birdie peeking out is just too sweet! ✌️🙏❤️

[@alicejump2290]

So funny as I started to watch, I thought I wish she would number the items! Yeah! I loved number 2, and 9 and 10 were such creative choices! Blessed spring and summer days!

[@noraleestone2859]

Oh boy - you really hit it out of the park this time, Sherry! 😲🤩 In a nutshell, I love numbers 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, and 10. 😁😘 The wire candlestick topiary, and the cat box trunk were particularly inspired. Imo, putting solid wood on the bottom of the wine rack would've distracted from the overall lattice design. I think, of the last 3, the gravy boat is my fave, followed by the mantle clock and the tin tile wall cubby. If I had a home where I could display these, I would try to buy them all. 😯😂 Thank you so very much for your great continuing work on creating these videos. I'll see you again next week. 😊😘🤗💖👌👍👋

[@sharonmassey9609]

The wine rack remake is my favorite. I don’t drink wine but I will definitely look for a rack when I’m in Good Will or a thrift shop now!

[@margarettallett762]

Your constant ability to make cooler things out of cool, interesting, unexpected things is amazing! I sooooo enjoy your creative processes and outcomes!! MUST GET THOSE TRANSFERS!! ❤

[@TheCo2rrt]

I absolutely loved the gravy boat. 2nd was the kerosene lamp/ hanging basket

[@amandakizer4718]

I love the wine rack green house! And the wall sconce with the globe ! Bravo!

[@andreasomera3153]

My favorites are 2, 3 and 8. Can’t pick just 1, they are all very lovely. I just recently found your channel while vacationing with my young granddaughters and we have been watching your videos together and enjoying them so much.

[@kathleensemmens2530]

The clock with the bird peeping thru is very creative and amazing! 👍

[@rachellephillips4021]

Loved 9! and to be honest this video is my favorite so far. Love the way your eyes see things .

[@lynedington5587]

I am always amazed at your creations.

[@SherryNerreau]

I loved what you did with the old trunk - so pretty, and the bread bowl makeover was amazing Sherry. You've done it again!

[@arciliacarrasco632]

Your redone wine rack is perfect! I’m a retired educator and love your work.

[@buzzyboo6673]

I never want your videos to end! I like #5 the best.

[@karenbreslauer2053]

3. 5. 8. 10. Are my favorites That sweet little bird peeking through the face of the clock so whimsical, the bread basket turned twine holder. Very clever. The wine rack was my absolute favorite. Just so cute and the metal looking sconce very lovely Thanks for sharing Karen from Florida 🌴💕

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, Karen! The wine rack was my favorite this week, too!

[@rasharasho5697]

I always enjoy your videos & i never want them to end 😍 everything you make is special, unique & whimsical .

[@cretapoole857]

Everything you did was Beautiful. What a Great idea making a cat litter box from an old suitcase!!!!!!!! You amaze me.

[@user-bc3oq9sw1w]

I especially love the wine rack but I kind of think a flat bottom would be nice and provide some more room for other items. Love your videos!

[@Violet316]

I also loved the house-shaped wine rack, keeping the bottom open is better so you can put things in it like the crock with greenery.

[@charlenegoskowicz8220]

You certainly upgraded everything! I like the copper medallions best. You made them look like 19th century Grand Tour souvenirs.

[@melissahyatt9626]

The litter box blew me away! I also liked 2, 3, 6, and 9, though they were all lovely!

[@conniedelvigna9427]

#1 the hanging medallions are my favorite.

[@tep1962]

Great flips again. Of course, the clock with the bird was my favorite, then the pansy gravy boat with the bird. 😉 Pansies were my mom's favorite. I also loved the winerack. You did it again, Sherry.

[@annebicks6877]

Just love the gravy boat and bird! Unique and lovely!

What beautiful and creative ideas! You cease to amaze me! Never thought of the litter box idea! I’ve always wanted to make my kitty a bed using an old suitcase! I bet you could create a lovely one…hint! Hint! ♥️

[@CanterburyCottage]

Love that idea, Sherry! I might need two-one for the cat and one for the dog!

[@gaylebagley5612]

That twine dispenser would be great in a gift wrap area! Do you ever sleep, Sherry? I love everything you do! 💗🌷

[@janefisher576]

Loved them all, #8 was my fav

[@katherineharper-sj4ys]

I have now seen everything. A William Morris print housing for a litter box! What an interesting idea. I’m not sure if my kitties would appreciate something like this but I sure do. What a great idea. Sherry you never cease to amaze me.

[@erinpollard7423]

Favorite makeover was the wine rack 👀 ❤ You re-made it perfectly!!! Don't change a thing ❤

[@heatherhoffman9719]

Love the wine rack and i think leaving the x will be fine! you can place a plate or a basket or anything of your choice in there. Love the gravy boat too!

[@clairemillette4645]

Wow c'est vraiment magnifique j'adore felicitation madame 😘👌👌👌🌟🌟🌟

[@debreno7734]

I can't decide on a fave. The brass candle sconce is an unexpected surprise! Love the bread bowl makeover! And the wine rack re-do is fab! I'm glad you didn't make the bottom solid. I wonder what it would look like with some fairy lights in the bottom...? I so enjoy your videos, Sherry. Thank you!

[@cynthiaann4465]

LOVE the kitty litter trunk idea!!! 👍👍

[@jrrushing]

So many unique ideas ! It's hard to pick a favorite.

[@barbkrieser8972]

Love the gravy boat and made over wine rack...but all are great. Some , lots of work TYFS ❤😊

[@bevwilkinson2853]

I love pansies and birds so the gravy boat was my favourite and also the clock but all the makeovers were very good :)

[@melbabowen4389]

All of the projects are wonderful! I would add a solid piece of wood in the wine rack terrarium. The old clock and bird project is charming.

[@darlenedugan8030]

I love the wine rack just how you did it . 🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@bonnieirwin1621]

These are the types of videos that I like best. The room makeovers are nice but turning thrift store items into adorable useful pieces that were destined to the landfill is my best. I wish I had just a little of her talent to see what could be. I pick up a piece, look at it...say, what would Sherry do, put it down...😢 don't have the gift! Great job Sherry! I liked them all but the easiest was my favorite, the last one.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much, Bonnie! I’m sure you are more creative than you imagine. I think the more you craft, the more ideas will come to you.
