From Then to Now: The Enduring Charm of 5 Room Transformations

[@vlrissolo]

Sherry I have to say you are the only one on KZbin who does not follow trends and that's a good thing! Your style is warm and inviting and what makes it special is it's created out of love not the latest trend! By the way did you know you are in Trend now? According to Nick a decorator on KZbin traditionalist coming back for 2024 however you don't have just traditional you have well-loved items and that makes you unique❤❤❤

[@debradevine5014]

I totally agree ! She does what she loves and that’s what makes her so unique and so special. She doesn’t try to keep up with whats in our what’s not just does what she likes and she’s not afraid to tackle the hard things most of us would not even attempt or myself I’ll say! I love to see the items she gets at thrift stores and just makes the prettiest decor! I’d say she’s one of the most talented interior designer decorator not sure that’s the correct words but she’s one off the best at what we love to Watch the talented people so right?

[@melbabowen4389]

i so agree! I’m sick to death of boring neutral decor. No originality, no life or vibrancy.

[@cindyhester9823]

It was by- The Painted South- The Best Faux Brick Wall Tutorial! was the name of it. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!!

[@SherryHill-k5y]

Loved your makeovers!! Navy blue is a favorite color of mine in decorating. A long time ago I painted my son's bedroom navy blue and added wide gray stripes on the longest wall. The stripes were a trend then but a couple of years later, after he'd grown up and left, I painted his room an off white. The room looked like it had shrunk! Hooray for your use of navy blue and your ability to be tool savvy!! Terrific makeovers!!❤

[@debbiechaille6535]

Exactly why I follow!!

[@midgethorn4083]

You are brave! I would never have painted cabinetry the way you did!

[@marilynmccormick3731]

From what I read years ago when I wallpapered two rooms the instructions said to plum a line in the center of the wall and work over to the corners, simply because walls are never perfectly square. This prevents the rolls of paper from "gradually" leaning off from perfectly straight. Worked perfectly. This is absolutly necessary if the wallpaper has a stripe.

[@galefraker7910]

You constantly amaze me! Not only do you have an amazing eye for decorating but your”carpenter” skills etc. are fantastic!! Love watching you ❤

[@lauriebrunk5446]

I love the China cabinet! The plaid couch was definitely a good switch.

[@kimpeasester]

Wow! GORGEOUS! I would hire you to makeover my home for sure! You're so creative, and all your work is definitely professional looking!

[@dawndawn6946]

Hello! I had a professional install some prepasted wallpaper. He told me to always prep the drywall and always use wallpaper paste if you don't want any problems. It was a quick process, too. He rolled the paste on the paper, folded it on itself in thirds, walked into the room I wanted it in and hung it. The whole process took less than 30 minutes for a wall mural.

[@kathleentinley7261]

You have the most beautiful home. Even though your decor is not mine, I love looking at all of your things You have a great eye for decorating. You are so talented.

[@brendajolley4808]

I can imagine how you feel when you review your work. If it were me, it would be such a satisfied feeling. I would feel so proud of myself. It really looks s good. 😮

[@corinnetippit7983]

You always have a good eye for thrift store furniture and the talent to repurpose and upgrade them

[@carolyn8033]

You have such a beautiful home. Very cozy and comfortable.

[@maggiesue4825]

I'm amazed by the number of thrift finds you've incorporated into your home's decor. Whether kept in their original state or upgraded in some way, they add just the right touch of beauty and comfort to your home.

[@Carol-br3bd]

Love your thought of : "Not just a pass through but a destination " you are such a good teacher...

[@marymcghee3023]

It is amazing to me the ideas you come up with. You are so creative in making those ideas come to be. You have a beautiful home.

[@loriprentice5384]

I’m always in awe of your talent. I wish you could come do my house! Absolutely gorgeous!

[@tlvance3973]

You've made a lovely home. I pray your family appreciates it, and that it's filled with love and laughter all year long.

[@junerobbins6871]

I love the pleated lamp shades. They look like a pro made them. The library is bright and inviting. I can picture myself sitting in the red chair reading.

[@bonnieredfearn274]

Stunning. I love the moodier tones of your new makeovers.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you! 😊

[@lisagarner8261]

That was fun to see how things changed after living with it for a while. Can’t wait to see what you do with the “new” bedroom!

[@theresacarter1033]

So beautiful, Sherry! Thanks o sharing. 😊

[@kimberkrawczak7105]

I just wanted to say I watch your channel all the time and absolutely love it. You have such a beautiful home, you are so blessed. Thank you for your videos. God bless you.

[@janashe8600]

Sherry, your home is beautifully decorated. I especially love the library!!!

[@lianeabeyta4515]

Wow... having power tools and skills is hard to beat! Love the bedroom bookshelves, and the way you did the window wall above the bed. WIth the hanging framed art... It is very high end looking. Your stairway bird gallery wall is absolutely stunning!!!! I did my small bathroom with gold framed pictures of birds nests and love it. Your foyer is incredible!!!! The dark walls are everything. And your collection of thrifted accessories is enviable! The fact that you have an eye in displaying them on tabletops, bookcases and shelves is what makes your spaces so unique. Oh my... the library transformation with the plaid sofa is dreamy!!!! Very Ralph Lauren! Which I have started channeling in my home this year. I have bookmarked this video , as the inspiration is endless!!!!! You are my idol!

[@pandorar1388]

Just Wow! You are incredibly talented! Your home is absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your spaces with us, I appreciate the detailed information, it makes me feel like I could do it to.

[@bonniesmith1179]

Sherry these room transformations are all amazing. I want desperately to change things in our house because my taste has changed greatly over the years. I love that you just jump in and do. I’m always hesitant to do that because I question myself constantly. I do like how you used the app to check out how different things would look, and I’m going to try that. I think it would be a major help for me. This was a great video!

[@philomenafowler833]

Omg, I just want to live in your house, you never cease to amaze. You give me so many wonderful ideas. Thanks for being you and sharing your amazing talent with us ❤️ xx

[@hollyj2925]

Everything looks better! I love how you decorated!

[@margarettallett762]

I was just saying to my husband that your impeccable good taste is always on point and so inspiring. Just beautiful styling, colours & items everywhere. HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎉❤🎉

[@malivanwilaisut5663]

You are so amazing no words can describe how talented you are , so inspiring and i am enjoying watching your talent ideas. Thanks so much .

[@romahahn-robinson5469]

Your amazing at what you do, love the dark book shelves!! Really, I love it all!!

[@JR-wv2kb]

A black and white geometric print rug in the foyer would look nice! Love your updates!

[@karenmorse7031]

I can’t decide if your kitchen or library bookcase makeover is the most dramatic but I love them both! I think it’s the navy color, I love it. If you’re not ready for a backsplash makeover here’s a suggestion. Try using spackle or grout in between the bricks for a more realistic look. When you originally did this DIY I suggested a German shmear and I still think that would look incredible. Either way thank you for your inspiration, I love your videos ❤️

[@roseofsharin]

I LOVE every room makeover! Loving all the color and warmth. A very cozy house that's so inviting.

[@trangn6564]

You are an artist and your home is your canvas ❤

[@patbarthe1219]

Wow Sherry! Are you sure you were never an interior decorator? Think of all the diy projects you have done to completely change the look of your rooms....now think of the $$ you have saved!! Amazing. Can't wait to see what you do with your son's room. Happy New Year and thank you for all the great videos.😊

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, Pat! When I was a teacher, I would redecorate as many rooms as I could during summer vacation. My brother used to joke that I had repainted so many walls that my home was losing square footage! 😜

[@sissmith2750]

When you were a teacher did you teach Art classes are Home Economic I see those skills in your decorating style you are very talented. I wish I had taken Art Classes in school so I could used those skills to do DIY projects around my home like you. Happy New Year to you and your family

[@pollyporter-campbell7493]

All your rooms are beautiful but my favorite is the bird wall and the upstairs landing. Happy New Year!

[@agnesmooney4107]

Your videos are always so special and unique I feel like I've entered an enchanted kingdom. Happy New Year ! and thank you for some very happy hours watching your beautiful creations.

[@tonirose6776]

Your transformations are marvelous. FYI: although Nina Simone sang the song, Who Knows Where the Time Goes?, Sandy Denny, English singer with Fairport Convention, was the composer and singer who first introduced it to audiences. It was recently featured in a beautiful little gem of a film called Brian and Charles. I look forward to your next amazing changes!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Toni, thank you so much for sharing this! I am going to see if I can stream that film. I would love to watch it!

[@elmariekariolis9245]

Just love what you did, you so brave to paint those bookshelves navy blue, omw never knew it could look so good!!! From RSA❤

[@sharonhughes588]

Your home is stunning! I expected no less from someone who is most likely my favorite decorator of all time!!! Happy New Year, Sherry, to you and yours!!!!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much! Happy new year to you, Sharon!

[@rbirkheimer59]

You are fantastic! I just marvel at what goes on in your mind to come up with so many different ideas for almost anything and everything you do. Everything turned out so,so great:) Thank You Sherry. I loved every minute of it. God Bless. Hugs , Rebekah

[@nata3467]

What a spacious and graceful home- thank you for sharing

[@phylliscalkins1607]

You make such wonderful changes to your home! Looking forward to see what you do with your son's room!!

[@eleanorrkuntzi6422]

You are truly amazing. I really admire what you do and all the money you save ding your projects.

[@carolynratliff1380]

Does your husband mind all the stuff you bring home? You never have any dust so you are an expert hosusekeeper!😊. I do love the navy bookcases…please never get rid of the plaid walls…I LOVE THEM

[@AzulRomero-r1i]

How I wish I could have friends in Canada who loved to decorate their homes like this! Neighbours especially! I don’t have anyone here to share this passion with!

[@SDC1949]

Everything you do is amazing. Not everyone agrees 100% on everything; NTL there is no disputing your gift for the aesthetic is far beyond the average diyer. I’m always amazed at your transformations. Your library dark bookcases (and everything on them) are my very favorite. I’m sure I’ve said it before, but it deserves mentioning again. I also Love the wallpaper in the upstairs hall. Your videos are master classes. You are still “teaching”…just not high school. ❤

[@dianal.6537]

You have a beautiful home and I love your style. You are a great inspiration to me.

[@maggiepadilla6915]

Evert time I see your Robert Morris chest in your kitchen, I just love it more and more. It may be my favorite piece of furniture you have!❤

[@OldLadyInFL]

To me, the navy blue clashes with the pale turquoise color of the adjacent room, but maybe it just looks that way on my computer. Also, I would have left the chair rail white, but that's just my particular preference. Altogether, it's a beautiful transformation.

[@nilakshiroy6]

Hi Sherry! Do share pics one videos of your children’s flats you renovated, please! They were done up so well!

[@joannfagen4457]

Your creative ability is amazing. There is probably not much that you would not transform and make better and more beautiful. You are a real gem; thank you and God bless you.

[@shannonlynch4598]

Oh Sherry, you know, I think you're a genius. You are probably the best decorating DIY KZbinr out there and I'm so lucky I found you. I look forward to seeing you weekly and my favorite of course is the hallway with all the birds. I like to think sometimes that you're saying hello to my grandma. I know you're not but I like to think that. Happy New Year and I can't wait to see what you have in store for us

[@kathleenreynolds6492]

You are very talented. I especially like your groupings and will likely steal several ideas. Thank you!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much!

[@lauratruthseekingWarrior]

I love the navy large cabinet in the library the most! I'm going to paint the bonus room walls either pale aqua or pale peacock and paint the furniture, built ins, cabinets satin black or satin navy. .

[@Texas_Glores]

i just wanted to add a quick note to say how appreciative I am of your content! Your style is divine and although quite different from my own, your ideas and innovative approach is one that inspires and instructs! ❤

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that Texas! 😊

[@sandybartlett7828]

Beautiful! ❤

[@conniemorgan8402]

Looking forward to sharing this new year with you ❤️❤️

[@maryanngastaldo6751]

Woohoo--another room to transform!! Go, go, go Sherry!! :) :)

[@jbishop_aries3039]

Those deep bronzes and navy colors in the foyer are so gorgeous. I love the moody florals too. Gorgeous

[@jeanniegeiser9676]

Love your style! Love the new stool’s around the counter.I only watch you and Ginger chick Rehab,….you’re both wonderful!

[@janiebirdthorn]

Hello Sherry! I loved reliving all of your makeovers, and had to giggle when the clip of the pink gooseberry fridgie, soaking hardware in acetone, was in there. 😂 It now sits proudly in my Hoosier cabinet with your family’s history tucked away inside. ❤ I cannot wait to see what you do with your son’s vacated room, I’m sure it will be amazing! I hope you and your family have a wonderful and blessed new year! Missy ❤

[@ritadangelo2486]

You are nothing short of amazing!!!!! You sure do have an innate sense of not only decorating but also of decorative item placement!! You have a home that's unlike any I've ever seen. I believe most of us would love to live in your home!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Wow, thank you! That is so incredibly kind of you to say, Cecile!😊

[@staceypetrasek-wj1bx]

This was such an enjoyable episode and I love that you have made your house feel so classic and timeless. Keep up the amazing content Sherry. You are one of my favorite creators. ❤

[@Grettie81]

The library is perfect. I wouldn’t have thought to use navy blue, but seeing what you’ve done with it, I love it. The whole room looks cozy and relaxing. ❤❤

[@MothOrchid-em3ms]

Beautiful makeover!

[@daviskathi1233]

You are so talented!!I love everything you have done,so gorgeous,your dh is a very lucky man.

Happy New Year. I am so in love with your beautiful home. Everything is beautifully decorated. Looking forward to your 2024 videos!

[@kathleenroberts7972]

You are so talented! Just amazing!

[@susanschultz1762]

It's beautiful! I use lots of greenery and red berries. I like the berries because they add color and warmth. Berries are still for winter. I just take down anything that refers specifically to Christmas once Christmas is over.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Wonderful! I agree we need to leave some things out to keep that cozy feeling until we can decorate for spring.

[@debbiestott3651]

I always wonder about what happens after the original makeover. This was great to watch, even though I have seen them before, they are timeless and beautiful. Happy New Year. X

[@CanterburyCottage]

Glad you enjoyed it! happy new year!

You're amazing and such an inspiration. Happy New Year!

[@loisruthstrom8143]

I love the beautiful wallpaper upstairs and your wonderful gallery wall! My favorite rooms are the bedroom with the "built in" bookcases and the kitchen. Great transformations!!! 👍😀

[@lgcushman9154]

What an amazing transformation!!! You are truly a humble person to show the before. Your husband's reaction was sweet. I got some good ideas for my garage. Thank you for this wonderful video!

[@Jewelybee7]

This is my first time on your channel and you're so talented!! I Love your work. ❤

[@andikennedy8874]

So much inspiration Sherry. I am currently redoing my entryway. Just patched the holes. Having trouble deciding on a color. I have had light coffee olay for years. Time for a change. I would love to wainscot the long wall. Thank you for all the ideas. Hugs from Arizona.

[@lynneallison1296]

Thank you for a look back at some of my favorite projects of yours! My #1 favorite is your library. Changing the bookshelves to navy gave it such a different, dark academia look. I took a page from your book and when I was sick of my pale yellow living room, which has a large built-in bookshelf, I painted the room a deep clay (yes it seemed weird; my artist daughter did a computer mock-up and convinced me). Then I put up peel and stick wallpaper in a vintage hot air balloons pattern on the back of the bookshelf. It really gave the room some character and added interest and showcased my collection of vintage books and brass items well. Thanks for the inspiration! Oh, and that “dog eating kitty’s food” seems to be a no-win situation! We feed Gemma kitty her wet food in my bedroom with the door closed. Our dog thinks it’s candy and steals it every chance she gets! 😂

[@SuzanaBehmer]

I love your style!!! Your kitchen is simply gorgeous!!!❤❤❤

[@bobbipetty7411]

Your home is stunning

[@lynnecowart707]

Hi Sherry, I really enjoyed this video! I was thrilled when I saw that you and I have the same tiny cream pitcher. The white one with the grape motif. It looks like you have a matching sugar bowl. I found mine maybe 30 years ago in an antique shop in Asheville, North Carolina. I think it is so cute! Happy New Year!

[@beverlypierce596]

Thanks for sharing. It was great to revisit the rooms you had previously done and then seeing them after being used for a time. Your blue shelving is still one of my favorite remodels that you’ve done.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, Beverly! I really think that dark blue paint turned a sitting area with book shelves into a home library!

[@beverlypierce596]

I agree!

[@amberlamoine1]

Awesome job! Can't wait to see the next bedroom makeover! Your foyer looks amazing too. Although, I love the more red toned red rug as I thought it brought in some warmth and highlighted the wood elements in the space.

[@patriciarobinson5909]

Love the new sofa in your library! Great choice!
