Hi KZbin Family and Friends,
In today's video I'm trying my hand at Cottage Core. Though I do think it's a lot like farmhouse with a classic style.

[@sandrasanders9290]

They are all works of art. I love the flower stencil and the old ironing boards.

[@vickidunkle3698]

Yvonne I love the door wreath and home sign!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you

[@cherylgarvey6241]

I love your style don't ever change it!!

[@AlizeRocha]

I like the ironing board, the second time you did them

[@anitajarvis8234]

I love the the shutters and glass window, along with the framed one with the Home on it. Love the towel ladder and the blanket ladder- I love them all. You always put such care and consideration into all you do- that makes everything more lovable!

[@stevemarkham7002]

Yvonne, you are super talented! If you come across another wooden ironing board, I think it would be catchy and cute to put the letters "PRESS ON" on it. I'm so glad I came across your channel! A fan from Tennessee, Pam. 😊

[@dorisgilman920]

A always I love them all.

[@ginacrusco234]

You did a magnificent job with everything! I especially love the wall art with Annie Sloane stencil.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you so much!

[@kimberlylee3593]

Stunning!!! Just stunning!!! Tfs

[@wendykenny7463]

Wow loved all of your items especially the window frame and the ironing boards thankyou so much

[@dorothykovak4900]

Everything came out beautifully. Love your style. Thanks for sharing.

[@Edmynice]

Nice, my favorite is the one with the flowers

[@debbievanhoecke3727]

Loved the ladders, stenciled tray and mostly the huge bread board. Tks for sharing Yvonne.

[@vickidunkle3698]

I love your knowledge! Love your style and vision!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you

[@helennesbitt4081]

Live it all.

[@SarahKingsleyHaussman]

I really enjoy all the pieces that you do. And I really love your staging area with the reclaimed wood. I hope you show us your house someday and all the projects that you've done I can just imagine how precious your home looks.

[@hplee881]

I loved your stencil job. All are great

[@cherylatkinson9083]

I love your work. You work so hard you really need to increase your prices they are worth so much more than what you're selling them for.

[@mmlitcher]

I everything came out beautiful!! Especially loved the home sign and would look great as a set with the shutters with them as well. Those ironing boards are also just great, a different flip on those Welcome door leaners and I'm sure we have all done that with our lettering, I know I have. I am very surprised that even after using a paint and primer base paint that you are still having to use that much shellac, but I will keep that in mind as I am refinishing an older piece that the stain looks very orange/red to me, not sure of the type of wood but I'll be painting so I'll make sure I have some shellac on hand in case after priming I still get bleed through.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Yes.. It's sometimes hard to predict what a piece will do.

[@debramedsker6765]

I love the stenciled flower decor!!

[@LoriThurstonInTunePhoto]

I feel like maybe the kitchy farmhouse is waning. Less pigs and cows, more botanical or even plain. Cottage Core means literally cozy. All your things are cozy. And here in the Midwest, the pigs and cows will still be popular for a while. 😀. Thanks again for sharing.

[@debbieborn202]

I just love everything you do. You never disappoint. Thanks

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you

[@kathleenmay6711]

You are always inspiring! Love all of the projects

[@kellyross7446]

The home sign with shutters and the stencil flower board were my favorites! Love your videos!!❤️❤️

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you

[@ChristianaBilliter]

I love you do a little of everything and do it well

[@heathermacleod7068]

Absolutely love everything. As I always do!!!! The home sign looks amazing

[@GingerChickRehab]

Aww.. thank you

[@dragonfliesanddiys2693]

I love them all! Thanks soooo much...

[@heatherradford1994]

Absolutely loved all the pieces but I really loved the ladders and the piece u stencilled.. I'm definitely going to try and do something similar and thanks so much for sharing the good and the bad bits lol. Not sure I would have been very calm if it had happened to me. But u saved it and it looked amazing. Love yr channel xx

[@GingerChickRehab]

Lol.. I had my moment. And than carried on🤗

[@roxannsawade2454]

Love them Yvonne! Very nicely done❣️

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you

[@linmims3049]

Love them all! But the Shutters and that stenciled piece are my favorite. So inspirational! xx

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you

[@PankDotOwner]

I love them all especially the blanket ladders. I bought some Durham water putty the other day! Silly but I was so excited to get it 😆. I lived in apt once and painted, by hand, 10 doors with shutters top to bottom. Painful. Enjoy your week!!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Oh.. you’ll love it .. well when you need it. Yes that sounds like a big undertaking. But satisfying when your done 🤍

[@theresalong6403]

You always do a great job. I am going to try and get my items sprayed black and go from there, my craft room is coming together.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Oh.. thank you for sharing that

[@sabby468]

You make it so hard to just pick one , everything you do just turns to gold lol

[@rosettaloggins3092]

Love everything !! You go girl .

[@GingerChickRehab]

Aww.. thank you

[@michellewalker8196]

Love the video when I caught the welcome spelled wrong it had me wondering at 1st if you was doing it different on purpose 😅 everything you did was so cool . Love the latter for blankets 😍

[@GingerChickRehab]

Yep.. there was no hiding that. Though I wouldn’t have anyway. It definitely real life. It’s about fixing them when those pesky mistakes happen 🤗

[@tiffanysmith2255]

By far my favorite episode yet!! Girl… That is right up my alley everything looks so beautiful! :-) You have taught me so much especially about how important it is to prep for painting. I love everything you guys do. :-) Hope you keep doing more like this!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Aww.. thank you for sharing that

[@brendacharland1845]

Have you ever turned a shutter into a mail / key organizer. Just need a piece of Luan for back and key hooks

[@elainereynolds9532]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THE PADDLE CUTTING BOARD, THE HOME SIGN, THE STENCILED FLOWER SIGN AND THE BLANKET LADDERS...... I WANT THEM ALL.........

[@berniceslade8936]

Love your work.......it's all so beautiful...and yes U NAILED IT

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you so much 😀

[@Holli_Sassafras]

I was just watching Desert DIY and she did some cottagecore. For those of us who actually live in farmhouses, I can’t imagine farmhouse going completely out of favor.

[@kathleenhernandez3772]

Enjoyed watching you

[@GingerChickRehab]

Aww…thank you

[@denaburtness9016]

You are so talented! I would definitely bump up your prices for all the time and supplies you use! I want to come shopping at your booth! Loved them all!❤️

[@csclose]

The projects you did in this video-ALL so pretty! I would have a very hard time parting with them! Have you ever shown us a video of your booth where you sell these projects? Love the music in this video!

[@gloriadiggs2376]

I will always love the farmhouse. Great video. Everybody makes boo boos now and then!!

[@philomenawalsh1696]

Love 💘them all

[@VintageBeeDesign]

Lovely projects, as always. As I was going through my staging warehouse today, I was explaining to my maker how we were going to “GingerChick” done of our metal wall pieces to update them. (Paint black, seal, paint white, and distress) Also, thanks for the mention. We were finally able to order the brushes, but haven’t received yet! Also, great job on the swirl technique!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Oh.. I keep checking back.. I look today!!!

[@kimberlydrake8654]

Hi Yvonne....wonderful job with all the projects! I think you hit the cottage core vibe....I’m still trying to figure out what it is lol😂🤣 I think quotes are nice but I don’t like a lot of them....some people label everything in their home...I laugh and say I think we know what that is....I have a question for you...I learned about Star Bond glue from you....I bought it and love it...for the life of me I can’t remember what you stick the tip in to keep it from crusting up! As always thank you for sharing your wonderful talent😊kim

[@GingerChickRehab]

Lol.. Kim I’m not sure what cottage is really either.. kinda matches what I already do.. 🥴 yes a little label and words go along way. Vaseline is what we use😉

[@emilyurban2141]

Oh my goodness. My favorite part if your video was seeing how you expressed your seeing that misspelled wording on that beautiful ironing board. I have had a very troublesome week and could not seen to shake it off. I heard you describe your experience of frustration & I just couldn't stop laughing. Yup, I did a little "metaphorical sanding" of my own & I'm back in the DIY mode. Love all you & Chris did with refashionig those pieces!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Oh.. I feel you. That’s why I share..Het it happens to the best of us. Cry.. pout.. put on the big girl panties.. and go back to work.. lol.. hope that gave you a smile

[@adorablerepurposals6745]

I, way too often, add or subtract a letter on cakes or art. 😅. Everything turned out awesome!!! Great job, as usual! Thanks for keeping your blunders on the film! It makes the rest of us feel like it can happen to ANYONE if it can happen to YOU!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Oh.. thank you for sharing that.. 🤗🤍

[@kimcollins9462]

Who cares whats in or out. Your stuff is so beautiful it will always sell. Man it is so hard to choose I love everything ❤, but if I had to pick just one it would be the wreath and home, then the flowers, I didn't think it would look good in black but it does, its beautiful. I love the welcome signs to. Hahaha I do something like that at least once a week. Sometimes I dont notice at all Kenny will come in and what was you trying to say here, he knows not to just blurt out you messed up. Haha 😄 🤣 You have a wonderful and blessed week.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Good man. Chris is they same way. Tread lightly.. they know how much work we just did. And maybe we wanted it that way.. lol 🤗

[@lauragreen4899]

Love everything you do. Can I offer one suggestion? When you are wiring a wreath go the opposite direction with the floral wire. That way you don't have to lift up the florals to try to get the wire under them. Learned that from Garden Answer. Again I really enjoy your videos!!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you for sharing that tip. I’ll try it next time ☺️

[@kellihull7600]

All are SO FABULOUS!!!! LOL Your “Weclome” is like my “Hodwy” 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 BUT I didn’t notice it! It was pointed out to me 🙃

[@GingerChickRehab]

Oh.. lol.. glad to know I’m not the only one🤗

[@sarahhardy8649]

I love the fact that you’re humble and show your boo-boo’s. Thank you for the vids.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Yep… I do definitely have boo-boo’s. Thank you for watching

[@sweetums6607]

Lucky me, watched your great video, then went to yard sale and found 2 sets of shutters (4 panels) for $2 ! Any other project ideas for shutters??

[@GingerChickRehab]

Oh.. awesome.. don’t come across those often

[@donnapeterson8266]

What brand of contact paper do use use/recommend? Love your videos! Lots of helpful ideas! Thank you!

[@pamhaueter9328]

A I always look forward to seeing what you’ll come up with in your transformation…..great job! Wondering where you got the wreaths, they’re nice.

[@cindyplutnicki8930]

Hi Yvonne! Loved this video. Was wondering if it was necessary to sand after applying shellac to prevent bleed through? Also was wondering how long you should wait for it to dry? Thankyou!

[@GingerChickRehab]

no not necessary to sand after shellac. it takes about 10 to 15 minutes between coats to dry

[@IcePrncesz]

❤️

[@mythreesons8084]

I love that you covered the holes in the home sign. Your pieces are always nicely finished. I like the second ironing board after the boo boo.

[@kayeyeager8006]

Question... What do you think of making blanket ladders out of old ladder back chairs? I have 8 that are to brittle to be saved as safe chairs!?!

[@pammanley7324]

That's a great idea! I have a few from my late parents house and I had removed the worn bottom. This will make a sentimental ladder for me, my daughter, and niece!

[@kayeyeager8006]

@@pammanley7324 That's beautiful memorabilia to make!❤

[@pammanley7324]

@@kayeyeager8006Thanks for the idea. I don't think it would have occurred to me.

[@sandragentz9442]

I love the cupboard doors and shutter's together. You gave me such a great idea! Thanks for the inspiration 😊

[@marlacainraisingcain]

The misspelled word on the ironing board can be blamed on two things: that italicized/cursive font is harder to read, PLUS it was a vertical word, harder to read. Your good attitude is an encouragement to all of us, because we have ALL done it at some point!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Aww.. thank you

[@JackieBurnsCreations]

The struggle is real. Lol We all do it. But thankfully everything looks just wonderful. Great job 👏

[@GingerChickRehab]

Yep.. admitting it. Now that’s a different story 🤗🤍

[@moniquepinocchio2939]

I do this in California. There are so many extra costs that add up. Booth fees and possibly a percentage that they take from you? The cost of your time and paint? Your prices are waaaaaay too low. You might want to test the market.. if a product goes really fast, you could probably raise the price next time you have a similar item. It seems like you are paying yourself about $3 an hour💔

[@GingerChickRehab]

Oh.. California would definitely be much different the small town Michigan. Our booth rental is very reasonable and we don’t have to pay a percentage. And actually we tried up our prices because a few viewers suggested that we we low.. and they did not sell. Just actually lowered our prices back down. For us it does all even out in the end and we are very happy with our profit. But of course who wouldn’t like to make more

[@moniquepinocchio2939]

GingerChickRehab ok, sorry, my bad♥️

[@Chloe_Stella]

Thank you for showing how much care you take with prepping and redoing each item.

[@suetillman1517]

I love the cutting board and the shutters. I have shutters like these and a new idea of how to decorate them. Thanks.

[@relaxingwhitenoisenatureso1111]

I don't think farmhouse will ever go out I personally like primitive. And I love white rooms.

[@debbiecollins1993]

Like all of them but my favorite was the stencil piece.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you

Excellent job as usual. Everything is beautiful and I love when you paint something white with that sprayer. You have excellent taste let's face it. And your OCD is a plus 👀

[@GingerChickRehab]

Aww… thank you 🤍

[@debbiemotley5384]

Very nice pieces. I can’t believe your prices after all the work you put in them. I don’t do a particular style if I like it I use it.

Right? Matchy matchy freaks my random bug out! 🤣🤩🤣

[@jaynebrown693]

Hi Yvonne ! Love how people take cabinet doors and make them into something fabulous !!! Love those ! I think it was a GOOD “boo boo” with the Weclome … I LOVE THE WOOD TONE MUCH BETTER…. Although it was more work…looks really nice in that tone 👍 How cute the red ladder turned out. Those homemade pieces are usually much more interesting because of the details. Oh that cutting board! And what a great tip to use the watered down wax then the full strength. Great tip! Will I remember…🤷‍♀️…LOL probably not! Hard to believe August is over !!! Kids back to school … we have one granddaughter who started college last week and 2 little ones starting Pre-K next week! Hugs to you! 💛💛💛🍁🍁🍁💛💛💛

Oh.. thank you 🤍

[@DScott585]

Wait a minute... there is a difference between your corner sander (I actually have the same one) and an orbital sander??? So do I need each one? Love all your makeovers!! I always love, Love, LOVE the reveals when you pick up the stencils!!! I wonder what it would look like if you flipped the stencil over so all the flowers were not all going the same direction??? (Honestly don’t even know if you could do that!). 🤔. I’m glad to know I’m not the only one that makes silly mistakes!! 😜

[@GingerChickRehab]

Yes..there’s a difference. But you definitely don’t “need “ and can use the black and decker to remove product. For me it’s just easier. And Chris is a tool guy.. and since we have it , I use it. Chris says the same thing about the flowers being flipped. Lol. In she mistakes more often than I’d like to admit ❤️

[@ellenl5626]

You always give us so many helpful tips and are so open about what works and what doesn't! When thrifting I always hear you saying "perfectly imperfect" :-) Question: what's the difference between shabby chic, cottagecore and farmhouse?

[@GingerChickRehab]

Aww.. thank you. I’d like to know the same thing. As I’m not a designer and do what I love. They seem to have all the same base. And it’s the “ bling “ that separates them🖤🤍

[@Brenda-qm4sy]

I just love your videos, I happen to live in Sun City, Arizona. And Although I have to deal with the summer heat and believe me it can get pretty darn hot here I think our record was a hundred and twenty-two degrees. But I know I would never survive how cold it gets in Michigan neither but have you ever thought about moving someplace where it is warmer? Well Thx 4 the videos I really enjoy them, ❣❣❣

You really are inspirering! After I watch one of your videos I can't wait to try one of your ideas! I love that I am learning how to solve so many of the issues I've run into in past projects. Things like dealing with bleed through of old stain. I thought all I could do was keep painting over it and you can imagine what a mess that turns into. Now I seal it first and what a wonderful difference that makes. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Keep doing what you love and loving what you do!

[@imcraftsynotcrafty7101]

When do you use Durham Water Putty and when do you use spackling?? I noticed you filled the holes with spackling on the shutters.

[@GingerChickRehab]

You may have noticed it because I didn’t do black underneath. But I was trying to get rid of the hole. I don’t remember it dipping down. But I guess you noticed something I didn’t
