Absolutely more of these videos, Sherry! I love this. This way we keep each other inspired. You did great on all of these, but i gotta tell ya, now im going to be looking for angel food pans and good bases. I also loved the milk glass and the box with the dowel rod that you put twine on. But, they were all great. They were great because you are. Thanks for keeping so many inspired in awesome new ways.

[@tammypierce3250]

Oh my goodness these were all wonderful! Those reverse images with mod podge are genius! I need to try that! I loved the lampshade with the vintage patterns. I was wondering if sometime you could do a project with the front of the pattern envelopes. I love the styles of the vintage clothing. I’m sure you would come up with something unique and wonderful.

Really liked everything you did. My favorites are the "dragon fly" and both milk glass shades. I love watching all the neat things you come up with.

I just took down two old ceiling fans and now I know what to do with the blades! What an outstanding, clever and beautiful dragonfly creation!

[@vickiemeisinger9632]

This was absolutely enjoyable this afternoon as I wasn’t feeling the best and it’s rainy here and you just brighten my day with all of your clever ideas. Many people are unable to have a vision for something we’re just throw them away and it just breaks my heart. You are such and encouragement to those individuals who want to just throw things away and also to those who want to change things up!!!I loved just about everything you did and it would have been happy to put it in my home. When I moved 6 years ago to a new complex for seniors over 55 and it was done modern style and I was very foolish and got rid of many antiques. However there is a few that I kept but I cannot quite figure out how to incorporate them into my white and gray decor but you have now helped me figure a lot of that out and I thank you for that. I’m an artist and an interior designer but often times it’s like the saying “the cobbler‘s children go without shoes”, And for many reasons that I will not list I find it hard to have a cohesiveness in my home. I’m excited to begin starting to make changes in the things I have but also no that it’s OK to put a new face left on an old “goody”!!!

Wonderful transformations for each of these projects! I especially love the milk glass shade/vase idea and hope to use that very soon.

Great video as usual, Sherry! Just love how you took the time to help out folks with “their” flip projects! I, for one, would LOVE to see more of this type of video every now and then! Imagine my surprise to see you do something with silver plate carafe bases. I have two of these that I put clear generic floral vases in them and used to hold fresh cut flowers. My vases go to the bottom of the bases to make sure the flower arrangements don’t tip over. But I will be looking for other options to change them for candles too now. Your videos always brighten up my Tuesday mornings. Until next Tuesday, have a great week!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you! Good morning, Lee! I love the idea of using a tall vase for flowers in a carafe base! I would like to think of another use, too-those silver stands are so pretty and fairly easy to find at thrift stores!

I’ll put on my thinking cap, Sherry! Two minds on the same track are sure to think of something.
