Mind blown by the advent calendar! Definitely going to keep my eyes peeled for a cassette tape holder next time I go thrifting. Also that pole wrap material would be great to wrap a cylindrical table base!

[@lonefox]

It’s such a fun material! I have a few projects coming out soon that use pole wrap! It’s amazing!!

[@babyjinspire]

My fave too!!

[@micheler16]

[@shaynaformity1384]

I absolutely love what you did with the floor lamp! I think it would look more proportional with a larger cylindrical lampshade rather than the tapered smallish one. Vertical sides on a shade would also match the vertical lines of the pole wrap.

[@aroha9090]

Yes, was going to suggest a very large drum-style shade - perhaps with pattern/linen.

I’m so glad you kept the wood frame the way it was. You just can’t find pieces like that and the natural wood is an art piece in itself.

[@Laura-fe2zb]

the tones of the mercury glass and frame matched up so well

[@gilenasimons7081]

No. Don’t. Stop. Don’t stop! You are so good. Vintage is always best. ❤️

[@cheekyllamacreations]

Oh wow, I LOVE that mercury glass picture frame! 😍

[@dianaf2820]

I can’t decide which project I like best. Don’t make me choose! Thank you, Drew, for doing what you do. I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. You’re such an inspiration.

Okay, the advent calendar.. she is CUTE 😭

[@evapottie3182]

I always love it when vloggers go outside - like you did now! - and show the surroundings where they live! I don’t think I will ever get the chance to see so much of the world as I get to see this way so thank you for showing this too! 🍀

[@triciag3311]

Omg. LA has some fine looking thrift stores! I'm seriously jealous. All the flips you did with these items are amazing! So creative! I can't get over the advent calender!

[@vicihuizinga8157]

Now I’m on a hunt …. For the cassette holder…that advent calendar - perfection🎄

It's crazy how you manage to turn the simplest things into something so beautiful!

yeah right??

[@nancyodonnell5298]

Advent calendar wa so inventive and festive. ❤ ❤❤

[@ireneparker8253]

The pole wrap material is new information for me. My mind started going crazy with ideas. I love the advent calendar. It is a great use for those tape holders that are everywhere and not longer useful. Happy Holidays Drew.

[@tammymccafferty8759]

The advent calendar is GENIUS ... I love it!😊💜

[@TheTasha4111]

The advent calendar was genius 😍 And the glass and frame was stunning 😍 Thanks for the inspiration x

[@kathyweddle4874]

The advent calendar is f’ing outstanding!!!! I doubt anyone else on the planet would have thought of that! You are brilliant, just brilliant 👏👏

[@spoonhands]

Me: "He can't beat that floor lamp, that lamp is amazing" Me after seeing the last DIY: "omg, he beat the floor lamp, that advent calendar idea is GENIUS!!!"

[@cecenelson2194]

Back in the 80’s I had a lamp like that in my living room. What’s old is new again.

[@terrimarie2106]

@@cecenelson2194 isn’t it funny! My daughter just graduated top design school, she had to design a thesis project it looks like it’s straight stepped out of the 70s and she asked me what I thought of it… Of course I had heard about it for months and how cool it was and it was a good drawing and or several good drawings and a lot of work went into it, so I told her Hooker her project was perfect and bought her roses. Afterwards my husband and I got a good laugh 😂

[@lonefox]

Aww you are too sweet!

[@christyb.2272]

It’s gorgeous but try buying the parts to make it. Absolutely impossible and not affordable unless you are a very, very rich person.

[@1faithchick7]

​@christyb.2272 what? Cardboard, glue, a thrifted lamp, wrap wood and a can of spray paint is too expensive?!? I could get all that for around $30.

[@fnzypnts]

That was a fantastic advent calendar. I think your custom lamp deserves a custom shade!

[@EternalLove.1111]

OMG the advent calendar is lit!

[@jlw1524]

The Advent Calendar is my FAVORITE!

[@sydneykasmar]

My favorite was definitely the Mercury glass in the beautiful frame. The most creative was the Advent Calendar - brilliant idea and I love the simplicity of the piece.

[@laurenanderson102]

That mercury glass is GORGEOUS!!! Downright inspired!

[@amritadash9180]

I can't stop gushing over these flips. Each one is a genius. The floor lamp was my fav untill you flipped that cassette holder. Drew you are simply brill !!

[@lauramaxwell8327]

advent calendar is so creative and cute . My favorite for sure

[@jessakent2049]

A very belated note that the cassette holders also work VERY WELL for holding eyeshadow palettes. :D

[@superannieoakley4513]

Most southerners will recognize the wooden piece u found is a pineapple w a missing top! Pineapples are a sign of hospitality. Love how your mind works, these are amazing flips!

[@lovethat4u]

That advent calendar is DARLING!!!

[@suemacalpine7006]

Could not choose a favourite because they were all awesome. But I think my mind was the most blown by the floor lamp. What a transformation, turning a six dollar lamp into something that looks like it cost hundreds of dollars!!!

[@ginacrusco234]

The Advent calendar!!! What a genius idea, prompted perhaps by the simple fact of the 48 compartments! I also love the faux mercury glass -- which actually reminds me of Florentine gilded leather. Brilliant.

[@alysekitchen4199]

I. CAN. NOT. Believe that advent calendar! Omg. It’s darling

[@MartinBuchler]

I LOVE the advent calendar!!!! With the mirror I think the stained glass would be a perfect background, imagining a handwritten a quote, or a picture drawn on a yellowish newspaper, cut out and put on the mirror, anyway love the projects!

[@keepingourhome7271]

I want to cry, when I see your US thrift stores & junk shops. I’m so jealous. We have so much junk, in my area of Canada . Sometimes really nice things, but lots of little bits of junk. I wanted to scream when I saw the rattan chair &, I think, desk. Lucky ducks! 🥰

[@helenbailey8419]

Thank-you for speaking more slowly.I find what you have to say is important.Your designs are practical,interesting and inspiring.They have a great feel to them.Chic but not harsh.

[@samredhiathwani485]

That advent calendar idea is so unique. We can also add succulents or small plants in those spaces. 😍

[@linryan8352]

I think your advent calendar was genius! I could never have come up with that .

As a flipper myself. I got to admit I loooooove the advent Calander. it's adorable!!!

The mercury glass is one of my favorite take me I didn’t know you know he do that so gorgeous so natural and it works for the room

[@kathybeck5957]

All are superb!!! The Advent Calendar is GENIUOS!!!

[@julianne089]

I love the lamp! I might cut the cylinder down to the base of the bulb holder part, cut a circle collar out of balsa wood from the craft store and paint it with the same paint as the base. Then buy a larger harp for the shade to rest on. That would lift it a bit. ❤️ I love all the flips! Love the alcohol ink!

[@EnfinLibreNM]

The Advent Calendar is BRILLIANT!!! I absolutely love it.

[@mamaneedsatimeout1325]

OMG Drew! You are using some of that Black Magic to change these pieces of junk into exquisite items! Everything was just *Gasp* - I loved the mercury glass frame but that Advent calendar is off the charts! I could definitely see that becoming a family heirloom. Wonderful work! ~ Linda

[@barbarak1744]

I’m finding myself checking KZbin daily for your inspiration. Thank you Drew…..

[@kalli-annbinkowski2593]

That is the best use for an old cassette holder I have ever seen. And it's actually useful and doesn't look like a something that is a badly modified cassette holder . I will keep my eye out for one of those at the thrift store.

[@jokawildn]

I like when you mentioned the time it takes to do the projects, whenever I look at DIY projects, I wonder how much of a time commitment it is.

[@theresawilkinson1844]

The wood “vase” is the top piece resembling a pineapple to a wooden tiered stand. It had wooden removable stems (used for scoops)on the top and the holes are for toothpicks.

[@patriciamitchell403]

New technique is the alcohol ink. The three I liked best is the mercury glass, the floor lamp,& THE ADVENT CALENDAR. EXCELENT JOB!

You are AMAZING! Please please please come to my house! I don’t know how you decided to turn that cassette shelf into an advert calendar, but that was pure magic. The mirror looks so authentic. Loved the candlesticks too. I don’t care for your lampshade tho lol. Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄🎅🎁☃️🎄❄️🎁☃️🎄

[@mariefrederick1592]

Loved all the project. My favorite would be a tie between mirror, candles and light.

[@angelabradley6547]

Love the mirror effect. I have done that before but I have never used alcohol inks on metal. Good tip. Your thrift flips are my grab episodes. I say never pay full price. So thriving is right up my alley.

[@cindyp2181]

I found 3 of those cassette boxes a couple years ago and couldn't decide what to do with them, but couldn't part with them either. Sooooo happy I found this video today! What a great gift this would be. The wood is beautiful as is, so a quick turnover, as well. Thank you!!! LOVE this!!! I also happen to have some huge cardboard tubes which I am totally planning on using for a lamp. Amazing!!!

Wow Drew, you are so amazing, I loved all of these thrift flips. that lamp is so cool, I never knew you could use that wood like that, what a cool vibe, love that alcohol inks are such a cool thing, I love using them for so many really neat projects. I always love your thrift flip projects, it always inspires me to try some of these things. Thanks again, sending love and hugs, bye for now.

I really liked your thrift flip with the antiqued mirror using the alcohol inks! Beautiful patined appearance to the framed mirror in its final stage.

[@pman2916]

My favourite is that lamp because it's so unique and different. Thank you so much!

[@lyndilee2955]

The advent calendar was, is an awesome flip! Who wudda thought you could repurpose an old cassette holder into something so cool?!!!

[@TRoth858]

All flips are great, but your creative mind is just, beyond amazing. I was so curious at what you would use the cassette holder for. My first thought when I saw it in the thrift shop was how great it'd be for my stamp pads. I still scrapbook (or will when I can get past my hubby passing), so I was tickled to hear that you used to scrap. Do you have videos on KZbin of you back then? I'd love to watch you. Anyway, for you to come up with an advent calendar is brilliant. I'm so going to be on the lookout for one now. My grandkids would love it. Thank you so much for the great ideas. Oh, and I love that you incorporate alcohol inks for Scrapping, into your DIYs. 😍
