Broke my heart when you spray painted that big beautiful, maroon bowl.

[@leannemoss7002]

Came here to say the same thing! That was probably a hand done glaze. So sad

[@innerpeas1]

yes that glaze was beautiful

[@elijeremiah1058]

I never compliment anyone but wow that dresser came out amazing

[@Patti-1962]

We buy bags of large white rocks from Lowes (under $5), find a spot to spread them out in our garden, then let our grandchildren make a fairy garden! I save all the figures and fairy decor from year to year, adding to it when I see a new item. To finish our garden, we sprinkle some of the see through gems that come in bags (different colors), and the sunlight makes them sparkle!!

[@ariesleorising9421]

So fun!!

[@juliesatterlee5450]

Sounds adorable but doesn't the DT stuff ruin in the rain?

[@Patti-1962]

@@juliesatterlee5450 Not at all!!

[@mariaking7221]

Amazing cabinet

[@marcidunfee6063]

What a sweet idea! It’s one I will implement. Thank you🧚🏻‍♀️🧚🏿🧚🏻‍♂️

[@sunflowerbaby1853]

I am not a thrifter. I am not a hunter. And I really don't like shopping. But I do really enjoy watching you have fun doing it!

[@BradfordHomestead]

Thrift stores marked up their prices 30% during the 2020 and 2021 debacle. They’ve reflected inflation as well. And some of us can’t even afford to shop there anymore.

[@lorimills7372]

I agree with you about thrift stores! Goodwill in my area is now charging $5.49-$6.99 for a single piece of children’s clothing! I’m talking size 2t and 4t! I could hardly believe it. It seems so wrong for a “charity” to charge people so much…inflation hurts the consumer most!

[@RnR-Rebel]

@@lorimills7372- It’s simply greed. Goodwill is for profit; look on the site I mentioned above to see where/how profits are spent. Many of us in my area got 2 locations shut by bombarding the regional offices w/ complaints of the shenanigans they were pulling on customers (the worst was always saying it was marked wrong, outright saying people were thieves switching tags! if every other store has to honour the marked price so do they), the deplorable way the subhuman mgrs treated employees😢. I haven’t stepped foot in one since I asked for a discount on a vtg dress that was completely trashed, falling apart w/ only the neck, sleeve trimming salvageable & they threw it in the trash rather than discount it; that’s a charity org? Not to mention caring about the environment? I even got cash back (unheard of) when I returned the items I [stupidly] bought after writing the regional office about the debacle, stating I’ll never shop there again thus wouldn’t accept credit. There’s power in numbers; gather people in your area & bombard regional offices, better off gone!

[@mariakay6824]

I work for Goodwill in the Human Resources Department and we are definitely non-profit. We have several missions that the community supports through donations and shopping at our stores. We’ve helped many individuals including at risk youth, disabled and veterans find jobs along with other assistance with finding housing, etc. I’m sorry you had a bad experience at your location. Please consider supporting Goodwill.

[@Marie-D.]

@mamitapreciosa100 What you're saying is so true. It also speaks volumes of the state our country is currently in. May God help us all.

[@bshows14]

I would agree with this. I was shopping for school clothes for my teen last year, and Goodwill wanted $18 to $20 for a used pair of jeans! I've been trying to find more smaller, local thrift stores instead. I'm not saying I wouldn't shop at Goodwill, but the prices have gotten ridiculous. If I can go to Walmart and pay like $1 more for brand new, then the thrift store really isn't a savings anymore.:/

[@destrygraves]

I know this is not the popular opinion but I love the way that bowl turned out. I would not put the fairy stuff in it though. We buy the more realistic stuff like the doors and put them around the neighborhood trees for people to discover. I like to keep a big bowl on the entry way table. Everyone tosses stuff in there. Wallets, keys, school and gym id’s, pokemon cards, half empty containers of gum, you name it. It’s there. You can scoop it all up as you walk out the door. I like to buy the little fake buildings from the fairy section. My oldest grandson spray paints them silver and white and they all get set out at Christmas time. We have a kind of tipsy tower made with thrifted tea cups and saucers super glued together that we put little plants in. We just spray them with water from a spray bottle to water them. It sits in the huge tank (thrifted, once belonged to a snake) that our leopard gecko lives in. The tank is large enough to have different areas at different levels. The live plants keep the humidity just right for him. I live 20 minutes from LSU and Baton Rouge Community College. 30 minutes from Southern University and just under an hour from Southeastern University. At the beginning and ending of all semester’s on campus and the neighborhoods just off of campus are full of furniture. Beds, dressers, tables, couches, etc… for anyone who really needs furniture and can’t afford it at restore or the local thrift stores that is the place to go. Every piece of furniture in my first house including the baby bed was rescued from a student. I drew the line at mattresses but those or in abundance as well. That house had two master bedroom sized rooms and one smaller one. I used this cube shelf things as dividers in my kids room and as book shelves everywhere. Not to long ago after watching you redo a bathroom with dollar tree tiles I covered one of those shelves with the tiles and then heavily painted it with clear varnish and set it outside in what all of the males here call “the cave”. I always love watching your videos and my favorite part is always when you say “you are enough”.

[@rosemarypaul6093]

I'm never so lucky to find something so beautiful as those lamps.

[@Homeschool494]

Kathryn, you won’t believe this but I have that EXACT dresser you got to DIY that I got for $20 from a. Garage sale last year. You just inspired me to do something because I HATE the way it looks like now 😂😂

[@Jennifr1966]

It really is stunning now, isn't it? And if you do this, you can really impress many people!

[@patdrenowatz8773]

Your redo of the dresser is UNBELIEVABLE 👏👏👏👏

[@Sunshine33333]

WOW! There are just NO words Kathryn, I'm SPEECHLESS!

[@cindyspear86]

The crystal gallery wall has a museum quality feel. Very nicely done!

[@simoneshlomi3869]

The dresser is out of this world!

[@carolcowan8871]

I loved the black and gold dresser you created from the thrifted furniture! You are very talented.

[@angelaperrin5909]

Awesome to combine thrift stores and dollar tree merchandise to make something fabulous

[@user-ud5it2rp8b]

I love how creative you are - & you are giving such clear directions. Still a teacher at heart!

[@jeanieolahful]

So many great ideas! Those lamps were definitely a great find, wow! I love getting furniture from the thrift store. The quality of furniture today is so disappointing, I’d rather redo older pieces, or just enjoy them as they are.

[@angieburnett4341]

I not only have always loved your content, but your energy, it's contagious! I don't even get to do half the things I would love to from your videos but I SO enjoy living vicariously! YOU are enough!! Love, hugs & God Bless you 💕💕

[@MichelleA81]

Wow! That dresser came out stunning! Looks super expensive! And those lamps are gorgeous! 😍

[@catherinepalmer4596]

Thank you for your cheerfulness and kindness. Sometimes I watch just to see you smile.

[@memj89]

The dresser looks so nice. My grandchildren, has one that needs to be redone. You just helped me. The gallery wall looks stunning. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful ideas. May you have a Blessed day.

[@kristapisano8142]

OMG! That was my exact childhood dresser you thrifted! Pretty sure my dad still has it in his house.

[@gemaemma12]

Fantastic ideas, as per usual! 🤩 My favorite part? Sticking around for the end when you tell us WE. ARE. ENOUGH. 💕 I remember when you first started saying that, I thought, WOW what a beautiful sentiment. 🥰 Thank you for being like my cool older sister or aunt. Love, your Texas teacher friend! 👋🏻

[@paulamorra3852]

That dresser is STUNNING! Great job!

[@keishadolberry8776]

😂 I got so tickled when you were talking about the Peter Pan frame & You said... I didn't end up buying it well... because it's ugly" 😅😂😂😂

[@sherihepworth8253]

I’m always conflicted after watching your creative videos! I’m more of a minimalist but I find myself making clandestine trips to the Dollar Tree to consider buying things you share!

[@julieschossow9315]

You're such a spark of sunshine!

[@deefly63]

Oh my goodness I love what you did w/ the black dresser. That would also look great if you added the ornate metal feet! Beautiful

[@Cheray_]

The dresser and jewelry turned out lovely❤🙏🏾

[@erikas974]

Wow Kathryn love all your find. That black tall boy is stunning. Ball also and the jewellery is so elegant. Great finds all.🎉👌👍

[@hootowlholler3760]

You are enough, too. Thank you for your time & inspiration. I like a good fairy garden. I didn't know that Dollar Tree had pieces for them.

[@GoodGriefCB]

One of my favorite videos. I loved the dresser. Can’t believe you found the lamps! The black mat & crytals, chef’s kiss. Can’t wait for the next video! 🥇🏆🏅

[@brendasmith2780]

Love the dresser flip. Turned out so elegant with the black and gold. All your flips were amazing as always.but the dresser was my favorite.

Love the dresser make over and the jewelry hack.

[@kkbo3478]

The dresser is very elegant!

[@Psalm13923]

Out Habitat for Humanity has awesome paint colors in 3 finishes in lots of colors. And at $19 a gallon!! Paint can be over $50 a gallon at hardware stores. Score!! I’ve painted many rooms and furniture with it.

[@jeanakillman9992]

Love the black dresser. Beautiful! Looks so high end.

[@ghettomamma1627]

The necklace and earring set looks way better than the original necklace

[@SueHawkins6816]

The dresser is stunning and those lamps are such a find. I love classic lamps and furniture so much more than the modern stuff. One of my favorite ReStore buys is in the lighting section. The glass shades that are from wall fixtures and ceiling fans are beautiful when turned upside down over a votive or tealight candle. They make a pretty glow and there is always something to match your decor.

[@lonnawight2762]

Nice dresser re-do!! The lamps are gorgeous!!!

[@Its_the_Whole_Everything]

THANK YOU - for not being one of those types that show your ideas at hyper speed. You speed up in the right spots. I dont have to watch it 10x to figure out what you did. Keep those videos coming.

Love your channel. I adored the jewelry hack. I was lucky to inherit costume jewelry. I've never wanted to get rid of some sentimental pieces, but you have given me a few ideas on how to make more modern. Thanks

[@Jesus_is_All_we_need]

Have the pieces evaluated and appraised before breaking them down. You may be surprised by how valuable they may be.

[@jessicaquiroz7178]

I just love watching your videos. I look forward to seeing your videos pop up in my notifications.

[@fayegero6115]

I watch you all the time, and today you showed an item I've been trying to find for months. Uplights! I was so thrilled I dragged myself out to the Dollar Tree (not exactly around the corner) and they had nothing like it. Soooo disappointed. I want those darn things!

[@WKurt]

OMG!! The dresser is amazing!!

[@lisapetitpas9476]

LOVED your dresser flip! I love natural wood with a color contrast the best. I would have left the top natural with a sealant. I love the hardware too!

[@julieligon8177]

Great ideas! Thank you for all you do for your viewers!

[@rebeccaellis5892]

Great ideas for saving money and having new ways of using items from the thrift store.

Thanks to resellers thrift stores have raised their prices so high, the people they were meant for can’t afford it. How WONDERFUL to make a quick buck, huh?

[@Ashley10056]

There are hundreds of resources to help everyone in their current situation.

[@kathywiseley4382]

Love all of these. I'm an avid thrifter and, sadly, the shops in my area really don't have much furniture, including our ReStore. I think people just don't part with it around here or they sell it themselves online for way too much money.
