Shopping my hoard ~ Spring Thrift Flips to resell in my booth ~ DIY Paint ~ Prairie Grey

In this video I am going upcycle quite a few thrifted items that I have in my stash (aka hoard) and create new items that are more my style to sell in my booth! I use DIY paint in the color Prairie Grey along with Big Top, clear wax and white wax as top coats. Thank you so much for coming along with me on this journey! I appreciate that you are here!

I am crushing it at Angry Mama's Antiques and Interiors. That doesn't mean I'm selling a lot, but I like the way my booth looks. 😄

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

You sure are friend! It’s always good to be proud of your space and have fun!!

[@jenniferbrown3075]

I’m going to call you Master of Finishes! You crushed it with each color/ wax combo on these items! And thanks to Marie Kondo for admitting the error of her ways . 😊

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

“Master of finishes”…I like that! I really do appreciate Marie Kondo going on the record with her new perspective. She didn’t have to do that!

[@ginacrusco234]

Hi Heather! You're right; the grey pitchers are a great color foil to thistles or pastel cattails. I love lilacs -- the color and the bloom -- but I'm allergic to them!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Well good looking fake lilacs seem to be a great fit for you!

[@aliciawilliams2996]

I love the neutral gray with pops of spring! ❤ they’re all beautiful 😊

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you!

[@eunicenield9631]

Glad to see you’re not painting everything white.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

It’s nice to get some color in there even if it’s a neutral!

[@isaiahjudy2914]

I would hang beads from the birds tail

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

❤️

[@PeggyJohnson-q3v]

Loved that little furry dog most of all.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Henry's the best isn't he?!?

[@maggieflatt9686]

Personally, I like white wax better than dark wax. Although I do use dark wax from time to time. All your projects are beautiful. The florals you chose are wonderful. My favorite project was the tall container with the bird on it.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you Maggie!

[@CraftingItUpandCreations]

❤❤❤ beautifully done

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you! 🥰

[@elainereynolds9532]

GREAT MIXTURE of COLORS with PAINT and FLOWERS...

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you!

[@lorijonerad857]

Love your lap warmer ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ AND that sweet textured clay pot with the white wax❤❤❤ you crushed that one!!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you!

[@jeanam8811]

WOW!! Every piece turned out so beautiful! The 1st pitcher was my favorite!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you! 😊

[@cathyhuddle1769]

OMGoshhhhh! I loved the three gold frames and the apothecary color with white wax was bee U T ful!!!! I loved the lavender one also and the rub on transfers you use I am ordering. Thank you so much. You are refreshing crafter!!!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

What a sweet thing to say! 🥰

[@CandyB843]

The basket was my favorite! Thank you for sharing and for all the inspiration! I love Prairie Gray!! One of my favorite neutrals by DIY!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you for being here!

[@carolyn8716]

If low-lying depression was a color, it would be Prairie Gray. The Prairie Gray, ok in small doses. Best use of it was the multi colored basket, only bc it was used as an accent; and I would have put white wax on it to brighten it up. Grungy, old, dirty looking pieces not my thing-only an occasional piece I’ll make like that. I want my home looking bright, pleasant and fresh looking even if I make it look vintage. 😊 Ps-“Crushing it” for me is kinda cringey…I’d say more mastering it. That’s me. And I’m mastering my organization of my home after being sick for about a year with multiple surgeries so there’s a lot of places to get myself motivated to tackle and accomplish!😊

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Well I can see what you would want brighter colors in your life after being sick for a year! My life is constant these days with the kids etc that I prefer calmer colors these days. Glad you are tackling your home!

[@krish.5823]

I’m glad your crushing. Crushing It is great for feeling good! Thank you for your encouragement! I really needed it. Your an amazing artist.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

You are so welcome! Thank you so much for being here!

[@kimcollins9462]

Everything is absolutely beautiful 😍. God bless

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you!

[@sgdavis8888]

I loved all the projects, and especially the color you used! It's also more my style than white everything. Beautifully done! You rocked this! 😉

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you so much!

[@jenniferallred7248]

Love your content. I agree about a little paint changing the look of something, usually for the better. I can say that I am NOT a fan of creators using black on everything, especially when they paint bird and other animal figurines. Looks so tacky. Anyways, I got so excited to see that you used white wax on the last project. Great choice. The dark wax looked good on the pitchers.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you so much! So glad you are here!

[@jadestone8552]

I loved everything you did !! Henry is crushing getting Momma’s attention! Hi cutie pie! I guess I will be crushing moving some things into storage until I can sort, donate, diy!!!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you! Good luck with your sorting!!

[@susanabner7246]

You knocked it out of the park again. Beautiful. Loving the gray.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you so much!

[@melonmahfood2439]

Amen to that, order to your ability on that particular day. No reason to loose your mind because you can't achieve the "magazine" look. The grey looks really pretty with the white wax. Nice projects.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you so much!

[@juliegrigsby4572]

I love that rough free vase with the white wax and I love that you're doing the IOD stuff because I bought it all too and you're giving me great ideas on all your videos, TY!!!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

I’m so glad you are getting ideas!!

[@ca6177]

Love, love the tall birdies! Basket idea is great! Thanks, I'm so glad I discovered you today! 😊

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Welcome!! I am so glad you are here!! 🥰

[@cindyjackson4617]

These ALL turned out beautifully! I am loving the prairie grey. The white wax on the last one really makes the vase! I now have to go to HL to find those flowers. The dusty purple is gorgeous. 😍

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

[@benniececiliamattox7426]

These are all nice. I really like the piece with the bird! You look so healthy and full of energy! Having a big project, like cleaning out a hoard, is good for the mind!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

What a sweet thing to say! I guess working through my hoard to good for my mood! 😜

[@jbowenandcompany]

Great projects. My house looks like a disaster every night!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Reality with three kiddos, right!?!

[@dorisandujar8277]

I guess my favorite was the basket strictly because I love baskets but all projects were beautifully done. Another thing that hit me was about organization. Now that I am 65 no longer raising 3 children I can do that not so much when my children were little I did my best and that was with running around to hospitals with 2 boys terminal. So you do you also as far as your colors and tones do what you like. You are so good at what you do

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Did you just say you had to run around to hospitals with two of your boys terminal? I am so sorry!!! ❤️

[@diannameyers8163]

Love the tall vessel with the bird. Whoever buys these items from your booth can put stencils or stamps or even a transfer on if they want.😅🎉❤

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

I totally agree! 🥰. Although that tall vessel with the bird never made it to my booth…it’s on my mantle! 😜

[@marilynwright7274]

All 3 pitchers look great and the florals kicked them up a level. The pumpkin basket looks so much better! I really like the p. grey with the white wax. I'm not sure about the little bird topped vase. It looks a little muddy to me, but if you like that is what matters💕

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@lyndawise678]

Loved all you upcycled, exp the basket. I've got to go to Hobby Lobby loved the florals you used.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

They are so gorgeous aren’t they!?!

[@sucess200765]

My favorite was the one with the bird ontop then the very first one. All was nice though.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thanks for watching!

[@leighaynsilvey852]

Loved the white wax over that dark grey. Liked the others too. Great transformations.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thanks so much!

[@NotTooShabbyPatti]

I’m a huge fan of white wax, especially for spring.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

You really can’t go wrong with white wax that’s for sure!

[@lovebug8720]

Love all the makeovers my favorite was the pumpkin basket and little free thing that you got with gray and white so cute they all turned out really good I'm generally not a gray type of person I'm more of a white accent type of person my walls are gray but I like white and dark walnut colors but I really like all the things that you did today they're really cute thank you so much for sharing and for the great ideas

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you so much for being here!

[@sharongodwin1477]

Heather, you had some great items to work with this week. I love them all, especially the basket. How do you charge for the greenery in your items? Separately or added into the price of the item.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you! Sometimes I include the greenery and sometimes I price them separately! It just depends on the piece and if I think someone just needs ideas (price separately) or I picked the best option and then I price as one item.

[@debrabell2604]

I love what white wax does to most colors. Nice projects. I have a hard time getting things done if my space is messy.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

You and me both!

[@lisafriend5535]

My favorites were the pitchers. Love the color choice for todays projects.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

I’m so glad you liked them!!

[@lorriedowns2623]

All of the projects were great, but I loved the pot with the white wax! And those flowers are gorgeous!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@marycarper5634]

I loved the white wax on the gray! Side note, your nails looked so good, love the shad on them...

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you! 🥰

[@stitcher4729]

After a dreary dark winter I always think of gray and black for spring😥.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

I find it to be a good transition to ease into spring!

[@tatianaterriesmith8471]

Love the pitchers TFS now I know what to do with mine❤❤❤❤❤

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

I’m so glad you are going to do it too!

[@ivankagren2746]

I love the basket! I have some prairie grey I've never used. You have encouraged me to pop it open and use it.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

You should! I’m so glad you are going to try it!

[@rosebennick1555]

Everything looks wonderful

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you!

[@nanagigi1162]

I love the flower pot that looks like it has stucco on it. The white wax makes it look really nice.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you!

[@cathycolegrove2893]

I am with you on the Prairie Grey! Love it! What brand of paint is it?

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

It is the DIY Paint brand. There are different retailers throughout the country that sell in each local space. Some sell online too!

[@cocolovescrafts]

Good suggestion!

[@candacedandrea5677]

Your ideas are great but the grey for spring at this time of year is not my favourite

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you for your feedback!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Me too! Henry’s the best!

[@shadygardens2256]

I’m discouraged and having trouble getting motivated. I just barely made rent this time. ☹️ I’m going back to my booth to work on it some more and bring home a chair and a side table to paint. That should open up my booth a little and give me more room in there, because I have it crammed full right now. I have some decorations to hang up for Valentine’s Day too. I’m always a day late and a dollar short it seems. But maybe someone will buy some of my gifts I fixed up. Much thanks to you for all your ideas. I love your style.

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Sometimes taking things out can really cozy up the space! Great job for not giving up and for trying something different. It’s such a learning process!

[@sarahrenfrow9795]

Beautiful projects! I believe that basket was vintage, but you made it look better! It was my favorite. Thanks for sharing

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

@@sarahrenfrow9795 I’m so glad you liked it!

Love love LOVE everything, Heather! My fave is your last project, with the stucco. The white wax over it is divine! And the florals! I love the florals with it. Awesome projects today, as always. Thank you! (Ohhhh there's Henry crushing it again! And you too Heather!)

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you! 🥰

[@rbrownaz]

Girl, you NAILED IT!!! I love all of them. I especially liked the stucco pot. I have a "serenity" room w/lots of plants & it would be lovely in there! 😊

Thanks so much!!

[@SandHippie18]

Girl, you’re always crushing it! You have inspired me so much! Thank you!❤

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

I’m so glad! Thank you for being here!

[@UnderAPileOfScrap]

Gray with lavenders or soft pinks is a great combination. I probably wouldn't have done the dark wax for myself, but it does look good with the dark wax & looks great with the right pieces. My go-to neutral seems to be what I call greige. More of a beige with a gray undertone. I have been in a place of trying to organize my entire home too and there is just so much to do that it can feel daunting, but I'm chiseling away at it as I have time and motivation. Even if it's just little bits here and there, on the less than energetic days. Some progress is better than no progress!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Chipping away is better than nothing! We are CRUSHING IT!

[@lindawalker5591]

I love order and tidy spaces too! Clutter causes me to have anxiety! LOL! Love your flips today!! You do such an awesome job!!

[@CreateYourOwnCozy]

Thank you so much!

[@sherrymcsherry2984]

I applied order to some of my thrifted finds. I donated six boxes full of goodies to Goodwill. I felt so good letting go of things. Next, order needs to be done in the attic. ❤ Keep being you and doing you. Loved all of your makeovers.
