I love them both! The only thing I would do differently is maybe add some bun feet in a natural wood finish to the apothecary cabinet too! But like I said absolutely beautiful! ❤️❤️❤️

[@beverlyburns4281]

I was thinking that same exact thing!

[@chanaheszter168]

Yup! Bun feet or taller. Low glass equals tiny handprints. Just saying...

[@heidigresh2743]

Same thoughts… bun feet.

[@patriciaoldfather6377]

I was thinking some simple short legs. I definitely think it needs to set up off the floor just a little bit. About 6 inches would be great. Otherwise, it is beautiful just like everything she does! 👍🏻😊

[@boonedogglepip5463]

Yes, some kind of feet or legs but I think I would hang it on the wall, as is. Love it.

[@ElveeKaye]

One would never know that these beautiful pieces came from an old, outdated entertainment center! You're very talented, and how nice it must be to have all those tools and a big workshop.

[@angelahagood7143]

Another stunning job Mary! I wish I could see the potential in people’s off casts the way you do! Both projects are gorgeous! Thank you for teaching your craft to us!🙌🏻🫶🏻

[@LindaMay-zl1uu]

Always enjoy your beautiful creations. I know you have posted the answer to my question many times. But, what brand is your paint sprayer? Thanks again!

[@suzanneyorkville]

Wow, the buffet transformation had the wow factor.

[@o.k.athomediy5685]

I love that you save all the Wood you can ! I do that too. I just value wood.

[@junehudgens]

How in the world do you look at the original piece and “see” two new creations that are so gorgeous and equally useful. They would grace any home with their attractive function! Your mind is amazing! Thank you for sharing and inspiring your adoring audience! After watching you work and create, my mind and body are ready to shift into “git ‘er dun” gear too! Watch out - - - Mary’s got me motivated! LOL!

[@lindaduncan5541]

Mary, you certainly have a gift to see the potential in old discarded pieces. You give them new life. Both of these pieces are beautiful!

[@Annabelle-ve2vq]

I really believe God blessed you with a very creative talent that is absolutely remarkable that you redid that piece I love the nature legs next to the white the green apothecary cabinet is beautiful

[@lynanmeredith6268]

Complete awesomeness! I think the apothecary cabinet would be crazy cute with legs too!!!

[@georgiasmith9477]

I was thinking the same thing! 😅 It’s cute like it is but legs would take it to the next level. (Pun intended)

[@denisekuenzel9465]

Yes, it definitely needs legs. I also would like the other piece better if those legs were painted white to match.

[@jaynebrown693]

Hi Mary ~ These are wonderful ! No I couldn’t do that, but I love watching you do all of this. Love the Buffet with the little open space under the top and those legs….love them in the wood tone ! Then the Apothecary Cabinet, how sweet is that ! I do thank God daily for the amazing gifts and blessing He has given people. He gave you this gift of seeing items used in amazing ways ! Not everyone has that gift. We are to share those gifts with others and you do….whether it is someone purchasing your items or watching you create. I find such joy and peace watching you. You are a blessing for sure ! I pray you have a blessed week ! 🙏🙏

[@patriciaoldfather6377]

I totally agree! 😊

[@kayeyeager8006]

What a wonderful compliment 😊 You are a sweetheart ❤️

[@geraldineklatt7914]

I love the green, I have several pieces my mother in law painted in a very similar green , I love them ❤. You are so clever to reuse that cabinet 🙏🙏

[@dwagnerful]

What a wonderful way to repurpose an outdated entertainment center! Nice! The buffet could also serve as an island. 🥇

[@gwenjohnston-petrarch5071]

I love how you do your woodworking in a skirt!! Amazing!

[@dianeorth1199]

You are so blessed to be so good at woodworking!!!Both pieces are BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@chattykathie7129]

Using the glass doors I think was the best choice I love the decal.❤️

[@merrilyhines5430]

Trash to treasure......you are an amazing young lady. The green cabinet stole my heart.

[@diannamcbride1607]

Both pieces turned out beautifully, Mary. I love how you can look at a piece of furniture and envision it as something else.

[@margaretbroadway7358]

Mary, you have a God given talent in repurposing furniture. Your creativity is astounding and both pieces turned out beautifully.

[@rosariosalazar5887]

Que hermosa transformación, gracias por compartir sus ideas, saludos desde Lima - Perú.

[@carrols.hawkins7770]

The new pieces of furniture are beautiful. The green color is reminescent of the green paint used in the 1920's. My preference would be to paint the legs of the buffet white. One would never guess what piece of furniture the two new pieces were made from. ❄️❄️☃️❄️❄️

[@michellebilodeau3882]

I love that you didn't paint the legs. Beautiful job Mary.

[@nonisnest9718]

Is there anything you can’t do? Not only do you have the vision but you can also execute it! I love that you left the new legs on the buffet natural and the little green cabinet is so charming. You amaze me.

[@purplerose4150]

I think this was one of my favorite videos you’ve done, Mary. How clever to use all the pieces of this cabinet and repurpose into two adorable pieces of furniture. Well done!!❤

[@fondasarff9701]

I turned one into a Cat entertainment center with some cut out holes to climb through, carpet strips for scratching a hammock and high perch. It's fun to see it still entertaining.

[@lizpelletier7785]

I would even like the buffet to use as a TV stand!

[@conniewojahn6445]

Several years ago, I redid a very nice oak entertainment center into a desk for my sister. It turned out much better than I thought it would, especially after I had so much trouble cutting areas which really weren't meant to be cut. You did a fantastic job!

[@juliefromusa2245]

Beautiful job! Love the simplicity of the pieces and your vision of what to do with old furniture is astounding! ❤️

[@Living_Your_Best_For_Less]

I am always left in awe when you do these videos! You really empower women, Mary! These both turned out fantastic!

[@charleneblake1146]

I am amazed at your talent. What's even more amazing is that you can do all that work while wearing a skirt!!

[@shirleysimcoe9356]

Looks so nice Mary! The Apothecary cabinet is so nice, but I'm thinking it would look better with legs. Great upcycle.

[@sandialexander9612]

Your creativity is amazing! Both of these pieces turned out beautifully, definitely something I would love to have in my home!

[@mariecafe2934]

Getting paint on yourself makes it relaxing and fun

[@annmarieschantz9724]

Love this!! Wish more people would consider reusing what we have instead of buying new. This world would be much less in our landfills.

[@sueepling7280]

What a transformation! You have such a great vision for furniture remakes, and talent for making them happen. Loved this video!

[@sheilagavin8281]

Loved this ❤ Yes you have a wonderful vision, skills and follow through. Thank you! Newly subscribed.

[@cherylgoff8955]

WOW! These are wonderful makeovers, I love the colors of the Apothecary cabinet , very good choice with the green. The only thing I would do different is put short little legs of some type on it . 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@kimmiles9147]

Sister from another mister. I snatch up all legs, spare pieces I can find. Used furniture is usually less expensive than lumber. Used to drive my husband crazy but now he says don’t you have something in your stash? Yes, yes I do. You are so inspirational. Love those pieces so much.

[@BluebonnetShelley]

Wow! That buffet turned out beautifully! I especially love the legs.

[@chrisprpich3278]

Absolutely beautiful Mary. Can’t believe you can take an old wall unit and turn it into something else. I love them both. Your so talented. Love all your DIYS. 😊❤️🇨🇦

[@dorothybahmuller44]

I couldn't wait to see your final show of your project. It's amazing!!! I would love it in my home. You have a vision for beauty. Thank you so much for showing us how to make something beautiful out of what most people would have thrown away 🥰

[@conniemorgan8402]

Mary the things that you, seemingly, just throw together, are so beautiful. People would pay big bucks for either of those pieces. Your vision impresses me, every time.

[@reneewright6762]

Oh I love the buffet. Very stylish. WOULDN'T MIND OWNING THIS PIECE.

[@crystalparker2542]

This is definitely one I will have to show my husband to get him to understand what I have been wanting, and to show him why I want to pick up every old piece of junky furniture I see, lol. Gotta get him to understand the potential and nobody proves that better than Mary. These pieces are absolutely beautiful. The white piece is exactly what I have been wanting for my kitchen. Love the apothecary one as well.

[@rbirkheimer59]

I would buy them both in a heart beat. Fantastic. Thank you Mary for all your hard work. God Bless.

[@pamelamccarthy1412]

Am I the only weirdo geeking out on how many different saw horses she has? Those extra large chunky ones look hand made. Also, the projects are absolutely beautiful, and you are so talented.

[@joycebaker3798]

that green looks like 1930's rocking chair green. I think about 100,000 rocking chairs were painted that color. I love it.

[@debbyyoung9454]

Mary, so creative and I absolutely love both pieces. You amaze me with your talents.

[@conniebyrd3232]

Mary i am in awe. I wish i had your talent. I love both pieces but, i think the apothecary cabinet would look better with some feet or (legs) also.

[@christinarobinson1163]

How absolutely marvelous! To be able to save this piece from trash. And I just love your idea.Cheers!!!

[@carolroeder9032]

Those pieces are SIMPLY GORGEOUS! I watched as you transformed that out dated entertainment center into two pieces of useful, beautiful furniture. Thank you for sharing your hard work and wonderful ideas.

[@japspeedgirl6216]

I missed the painting videos so much, Mary. Thanks for that! Amazing transformation!

[@ChrisCalmtheCrazy]

I was having a meltdown when I saw you taking apart and painting that beautiful solid cherry cabinet. But, then I think you did a fantastic job repurposing an outdated piece. Well Done!

[@janicek6399]

That's really a great remake! I love it. 2 nice new pieces of furniture out of something nobody wanted any more. Well done 😁

[@heatherlovesdeuteronomy]

How beautiful the white buffet turned out!

[@jessicajones6032]

This is one of your best videos yet!🙌🏻 Very inspiring. Makes me look at all the junk i have in a new way🤔

[@vickinoeske1154]

Love the idea of using the legs from a headboard and footboard for the buffet legs! The apothecary cabinet is adorable and the perfect color.

[@dorothylehman4164]

Mary God has truly given you a gift I love watching what you do because I've always wanted to do it myself and God has truly given you a gift Mary

[@debanderson9797]

Omgoodness Mary, These pieces turned out absolutely stunning! As always you have out done yourself.

[@BobbiMac08]

I absolutely love the buffet! Especially the legs. What a great way to repurpose an entertainment center. I see the for sale pretty cheap on our marketplace since they're hard to get rid of.

[@kayeyeager8006]

Thats exactly how I collect most of my materials. This does give me a great idea for a couple vanities I have.

[@sandykoenig1666]

This was a fantastic video, and just goes to show so many of us all the time it takes to repurpose furniture. You always do such a great job.

[@jaymelang9610]

I'm glad to see you have your four-legged supervisor's approval! 😅

[@letsgotravel7724]

You are just so talented, I can’t believe someone as tiny as you can work with all these tools and heavy pieces of furniture and do an incredible job making him into something so pretty! I wish I only had 1/4 of your talent!!!

[@annettemurielle]

Wow, Mary! You did it again! Hard to decide which I like best because they're both so beautiful and useful, but I really love the idea of the Apothecary. What a great place to store first aid supplies, etc. Mary, you never disappoint. ❤😊

[@kimwilson3831]

Wow, just Wow! I know they were a lot of work, but I just love watching all your transformations ❤️

[@landomilknhoney]

I absolutely adore that you are wearing skirts through all of this... because I too wear dresses/skirts 24/7! I am so thankful that I found this channel. Everything is lovely, and feminine. Thank you Subscribe 🍁🍂🌾🔥

[@wandarivera4016]

Mary you have brought me memories of my grandmother house back home my grandmother had a small two bedroom made out of wood the windows were two door that open out to the outside as well the area were the kitchen sink was the water of the sink would drain to the out side remember doing the dishes at grandmother it felt like you were out side at is just one of the things I always remember so many memories thankyou Mary that's why I love your videos 😊❤

[@Juliegriffiths1]

Love both of these make-overs Mary. Though I do think the smaller cupboard looks like a wall cupboard not a floor one - or it needs legs. Love the colours.

[@tinasalobecke66]

Love how you made two beautiful pieces from that one outdated cabinet! You are so talented Mary 😁

[@Laurie-BHFANDF]

You are so talented and I love to see old out dated things given new life and for not a lot of money! So inspiring!! Thank you for sharing!

[@barbarajohnson8701]

That green cabinet would look GREAT with little legs on it! I LOVE everything you do-I also “redo “ furniture and just love doing it ❤

[@darlaslate3415]

You put so much work into this and came up with 2 absolutely beautiful pieces! Having built 2 log homes, I can really appreciate the hard work you do!!

[@kayeyeager8006]

Oh my my lady! I might have to pick your brain for some advice!

[@kathrynschamanski3766]

What a creative way to repurpose an outdated piece of furniture! Great job, Mary!!

[@lindamcguire856]

No wonder people love your channel, Mary! U are amazing! The buffet was gorgeous and so was the apothecary. Ur talent is unbelievable and I love to watch your videos. Keep them coming, please.

[@ConservativeVeteran]

Mary, you are so creative! Who would have thought this was possible from an old outdated piece of furniture?!

[@cassandrasmith5517]

Gorgeous transformation! I’ve always wondered what could be created with the old clunky entertainment centers. I seen quite a few transformations but this is one of the best! Awesome job Mary🥰

[@susieminnick6801]

Little child's kitchen was one of the best I've seen

[@NitrosMom074]

I am so impressed with both pieces. You have the most amazing imagination when it comes to up cycling. If I lived closer, I would absolutely purchase the buffet! It’s stunning!

[@laraynekayfes5329]

Beautiful work, as always! I bought a 3piece 6'-8" unit ($5 ea @ Goodwill!), I've turned one into a twin XL Captain's bed frame, using the concealed pull-out door for access to storage. The second is now a permanent coat closet w/a louvered bi-fold door next to sliding patio door. The third one (I'll add peg holes) will be used w/shelves for garage storage. I am so pleased w/the end results! At 73, you're never to old to learn: I got many tips & courage from your channel!! Thank you Mary, you are a wonder 😍

[@homethatilove4595]

Beautiful reuses of a oversized, clunky, dated cabinet. I LOVE watching you cut 🪚wood & spray paint to smoothly ~ but then I love the reveal in your 🌞, Bright, clean kitchen all Styled & Completed ❣️

[@WellEditedCo]

Beautiful job, Mary, and it was so fun to watch your process. I love both pieces! I would even use that buffet as a stand for a modern flat screen TV-it’s perfect for that too. And I think I’d put short-ish, skinny legs on the apothecary cabinet like many of them have. So cute!

[@patriciaoldfather6377]

Exactly what I was thinking. Already super cute, but it needs some legs.

[@JolovesDecor]

Someone gave my mom a quilting hoop made out of cherry wood. It’s large. Thought I might want it to do something with. It’s Amish made from Ohio. I was thinking of just hanging it on the wall with a piece of my great grandmothers quilt. Do you have any ideas? I needed this video today. This is exactly what I want for my second bedroom being turned into a library room. Just love it Mary. You’re so creative. The bleed through or bubbling may be eliminated if you use a stain blocker primer, and a sanding, like Zinnsser Bin or another. I’ve had to do that. Have a blessed day Mary.

[@fcohen8296]

Thank you for keeping portions real time. It helped me a lot to help me see that my expectations of myself were really unreasonable.

[@InsideOfMyOwnMind]

I would never have thought of leaving the legs unpainted but it works so well.

[@jills2944]

WOW! You are so creative and talented! These turned out amazing! I wish I had the ability to see something like an old entertainment center and have a whole new vision for it, and then carry it out. Thank you for sharing your talent, very inspiring.

[@childoftheking9907]

Love it! They turned out so beautiful!

[@Savedbygrace1960]

Mary, wow those pieces are gorgeous, I do believe you could build a house .

[@gloriabright7544]

Stunning buffet!!! You totally knocked that buffet out of the park!!!! The cabinet is perfection too!! Wow! Thank you for sharing!

[@o.k.athomediy5685]

This turned out beautifully!❤️❤️❤️

[@mimi03231]

Wow what a transformation! Just gorgeous thanks for the inspiration.

[@franklinstephen3268]

Mimi you got a lovely smile

[@barbaranielsen2888]

You sure have carpenter skills and knowledge for the use of tools. Plus such creativity! Thank you so much!

[@marilynyarbrough7951]

Mary, you are an extraordinary lady. Thanks for sharing your talent.

[@lindsaya4877]

My favorite part is the legs you added to the buffet. Beautiful work!

[@helenr.2184]

It’s Amazing the ways you think of to repurpose things! The buffet is terrific, and I really, really love the Apothecary cabinet! Thank you‼️😊 for sharing your many talents with us!

[@jessieslay7422]

You are one smart lady. You make everything you do look so easy. Very nice !!

[@christinalehman7643]

You have made many beautiful things, but the screen door takes the cake! Just absolutely love it!

[@susanhonkoski7706]

That is beyond beautiful!!! And the best part it is functional!!!! You inspire me! Thank you for sharing!!! ❤

[@shellydehart8217]

Wow! No one would of guessed that those 2 pieces were once all one. Fantastic , creative idea you did there. Love how you added those legs n leaving them natural wood. The Apothecary really so cute n I’m so much like you when it comes to a certain color of green. I’ve done that so many times. In fact I loved the color I mixed up one time n took a patch to the paint store n had them mix me up a pint. They we’re kind to do that for me. When I saw you spray painting towards the end of video. I was sure someone was going to have a comment about you not having your mask on but you remembered n you put it on. I just don’t feel comfortable when people make such negative comments. They don’t even know that person personally but still have to make negative comment. I would never do that. I know you said you don’t take it to heart but I sure do. I know those pieces you just finished will sell quickly. There are such nice pieces n will look great in any home. God has truly blessed you with a wonderful talent. ♥️♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍👍🥰

[@broussardfamily1]

Absolutely beautiful, Mary. God has truly gifted you with such talent. ❤️

[@veronicacanadas5537]

Waw waw waw... my father knew carpentry but I never saw him do transformations like this. You are absolutely amazing!!!!

[@nancychannel8513]

Love the Apothecary cabinet and that green is a perfect color. It reminds me of the cabinet that our hometown doctor had when I was a little girl. And believe me that was many many years ago

[@karenmorse7031]

They are both beautiful!!! The apothecary cabinet would also look great with little legs on it but I love it as is!

[@edwanacole3577]

I love the way you repurposed the entertainment center.

[@patriciaskitch2341]

You’ve outdone yourself again Mary.
