the seller didn't know what they had (1970s mcm upcycle & restoration)

[@margrietvanbaal7984]

I think auctioning the more vintage/designer pieces would be more appropriate and could possibly drive up the donations! Love this series and the fact you chose to give back with the profits. Maybe the next can go to Maui? Thanks!

[@annalauryn966]

There is no shame in making the most profit ESPECIALLY if you're actually donating to charities.

[@nikoletta178]

that's exactly what she's saying @@annalauryn966

[@teeteechee7331]

Love this idea

[@CaliMel184]

They should have auctioned them off for sure.

[@emilyflavell1658]

We could have a fun evaluator moment

[@quokkakola1722]

I hope we can revisit the mirror shards in a future episode. Also, considering it’s for charity, maybe you can forge some relationships with local furniture shops like the one you got the mirror table from, and they can provide you with more “damaged” items to refurb and sell!

[@seejillmake]

I love this idea! I'm sure furniture resale shops get a lot of damaged donations or items that get damaged in the store. They probably end up throwing away items that won't sell so this would be a win win!

[@corrugatedmetal6598]

as someone who used to work for a furniture store, this is definitely an option! we normally donated to goodwill.

[@krickette5569]

Quick TIP; When removing a broken mirror, first cover it in contact paper (the sticky stuff that comes on a roll), pressing the adhesive side firmly to the mirror. This eliminates the problem of shards of mirror flying through the room etc. It also makes it much easier to discard.

[@PerfectPinkiePants]

Such a smart idea!

[@kiralewis831]

Love this series! You should donate to the people affected by the Maui wildfires with some of the profits 💚

[@francescathomas3502]

BC wildfires - Sorry Girls are Canadian and BC is also struggling with wildfires as well!!!!

[@kiralewis831]

@@francescathomas3502 sure, while both are tragic, the devastation in Maui is next level. It's the deadliest fire in 100 years of US history and it's hard to get resources and supplies to them since they are so far and secluded

[@MindfulMya]

The US has plenty of people who are donating we Canadians have the most wild fires right now and any support to protect people will be necessary. All wild fires are terrible and I think we are all feeling the effects. I think if people can help where they can that should be enough. I think the Sorry Girls have done a lot of awesome work and they will do the best they can. Just as we can do the best we can. Stay thrifty ladies and stay safe out there! ❤❤❤❤

[@skylarsa]

Or donate to the North West Territory wildfires too!! Canada needs all the support it can get!

[@Amsims]

We have bad wild fires in Canada every year BC, NWT and AB is normally a yearly thing some classing at a level 6 with up to 390 going at once and burning hundreds of thousands of acres of land. Please do your research before commenting “next level” to Canadians who have been displaced for years. We had one recently near where I live that burned 267,867 acres of land and close to 30,000 people were displaced. Edited to say: This is not to say Maui doesn’t deserve support but I think there is not enough information out there about what goes on here in our country. If they are to donate I think it should be to either one! Just know it’s not just the states struggling here!

[@louisahenso3283]

I'm really enjoying this series. I know content creators change over time, but I do miss this type of content on the channel.

[@ConservativeVeteran]

I'm surprised that Becky didn't buy those mid-century modern chairs! They are gorgeous! Hope you saved those glass shards...have you seen the Christmas Tree that Rebecca Robeson makes out of glass pieces?! You could make one and sell it. (in the even you didn't know, she's a designer in America.)

[@arbella89]

I was literally thinking this exact thing! Any shape, really.

[@gladys6089]

I thought the same thing too. Just knew she was going to say sold to Becky.

[@erinvanhandel]

Same here - I was thinking you could sell the mirror shards (or keep them in your supply stash) for mosaic projects.

[@trinitycovers8044]

Omg!! You should totally make a mosaic table with the mirror shards from the coffee table in the video!! That would be so cool and I could see someone being in the market for it.

[@NuTh33]

Hopefully you saved those mirror shards, could make a nice DIY shatter mirror wall decor for Christmas or anything. 😊

[@bex6767]

Was thinking the same! Could be a really cool mosaic mirror piece of something!

[@BUMOKA]

I just love these types of videos so much. Big vintage and upcycling lover over here as well. 🙋🏻‍♀️ Lots of love from Germany!

[@JamiePaige]

those chairs look sooooooo awesome

[@Mystic_Light]

These chairs are originals. The metal has been painted as well as the leather... they were once black. Whoever refurbished them either thought chrome and white was too loud or the chrome was in rough shape and they didn't know how or didn't want to spend to rechrome. Incredible find.

[@tamaramonster9027]

Also, the brushed aluminum look was very on trend in the 90s and 00's, so could have been just a restyle thing too.

[@eyrar99]

I don't think the metal was painted, it looks like the legs were actually replaced at one point since there are extra holes in the bottom of their chairs (3:43). Maybe I'm wrong, though!

[@deidrecalabro5725]

Love the idea of asking a vintage professional about the chairs. Next time ask before you revamp just to be sure you aren't devaluing the piece. Both revamp are well do❤🎉

[@NashaAbWahid]

The mirror coffee table is definitely worth more than that with the amount of elbow grease been put into. Lol. Love this series! Hope to see more

[@sandypeters3238]

Those chairs are absolutely gorgeous!

[@meowdee]

Oh wow! I would've purchased those chairs in a heartbeat!

[@MattieDianeMunson]

I’m happy that you are reconsidering your approach to the pricing &/or selling of these (2) chairs because they are so fabulous what I wouldn’t give to have themc

[@MattieDianeMunson]

Yep I said that 🤦‍♀️ but I meant well what I was actually trying to say was that I feel if you are able to revive the money I think they are worth I’m sure I could not afford them so good luck ☺️

I have been watching Sorry Girls videos since I moved to the Netherlands in 2018... now I run a charity based in The Hague called Wool for Warmth. We knit and crochet hats and scarves for the homeless, and have already given out 10,000 hats and 10,000 scarves. Would love to be considered for this donation

Fantastic series!!! Please continue with this! Chairs look authentic to me! Just by seeing the comprising side by side. I also echo the Maui support.

[@hollyhasegawa6095]

Oh gosh Rachel, you are so amazing, those white chairs that you painted black are so awesome, and I didn't realize that you could paint a chair and have it look so amazing but because of the material it is made with that paint is so incredible and the stain on the handles fits that black so beautifully. And that mirrored coffee table is also so incredible and watching you take off the broken mirrors was so cool, and those new pieces of mirror that you got are so wonderful. Gosh thanks so much Rachel you are so great at doing these projects, and this really was a fun video to watch. Have a wonderful day, sending love and hugs, bye! 😂😊🤗👍💜💜💜

The mirror shards - if they can be put back together to form a rectangle - could make a really cool design with some sort of grouting in between them, purposfully broken 😊 i love the chairs though, the shape of the handles are perfect

The leather chairs are gorgeous. 🖤

[@zofia2750]

It definitely looks like the original chairs that just got painted! The original has more of a velour-like finish to the leather and that’s what the bottom of the chairs (the unpainted part) looks like!

[@amara560]

This series is so cool! Love these transformations. I'd like to suggest the Open Medicine Foundation (OMF). They research conditions that have been ignored for decades in the medical community like ME/cfs, Lyme's disease and now Long Covid as well.

I agree on the expert opinion on the chairs. I do think they are the ones auctioned. In fact, contacting that auction house might be a good place to start!

[@JL11775]

The chairs are stunning! I think you priced them too low, even if they turn out to be reproductions. Mid-century modern style is so big right now, especially with young urban professionals.
