[@deemanolaros6036]

You certainly did not ruin the plates or tapestry. I absolutely love watching your videos. You have inspired me to make many of the projects you have done. Thank you.

[@CanterburyCottage]

I'm so glad! Thank you, Dee! 😊

[@bobbipetty7411]

I can't say you have ever ruined anything you've done. You take the ordinary and make it extraordinary.

[@chalmadanes405]

I’m screaming “NO”to hammering brass plates. Then “YES”. I love it

[@sonjafarnsworth6208]

The brass plates were undoubtedly mass produced, so no harm done. And the brass-framed bird pictures are absolutely beautiful!

[@gloriaguzman729]

I'm sorry Sherry,but I can't choose only one! Every single project is just amazing,and too much creative! I love all of them!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, Gloria, you are always so sweet! Thank you!

[@sandyrodriguez1382]

Just remember……. This is YOUR channel ….. you can do what ever you feel you want to do with YOUR creative mind !!! Everything you do is always so amazing….. whether it’s someone else’s opinion or not. You always do such a great job!!! I always love what you do. You are AMAZING!!!! Thank you for all of your ideas !!!!

[@margaretdillinger5090]

I don’t think you ruined anything. You made them look more relevant for today. You never disappoint. You have one of the most creative minds I’ve ever seen. Love your ideas.😊❤

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, Margaret! You are always so kind. Thank you!

[@loyalistrose5727]

You never cease to amaze me with your ability to turn trash into treasures. I loved the rusty vase and picture frame at the end the best.

[@maryellenyork2819]

I think I would have hot glued a wood round to the center of the brass plates, but the final look is quite stunning.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Mary Ellen, I didn’t even think of that. Now, you’ve got me thinking about trying that!

[@bbknits2074]

My mum had those brass plates when I was a kid, brought back memories ❤️

[@nancysnell7428]

You didn’t ruin anything, you gave them new life. I love the rusty vase, definitely a winner.

[@cherylparish1375]

I love the cashbox/Birdcage. It looks really vintage, so clever! But it's a tie between the little lamp and the rusted look vase! 😊 Thank you for inspiring us! Great video!

[@karenyoung58]

You turned trash into treasure! Truly, you did. You've never ruined a piece yet.

[@debbieschultz9768]

You and ruining something should never be in the same sentence!! Everything you touch is changed into something beautiful and unique❤

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, Debbie, that is so sweet of you! 🥰

[@juststoppingby390]

I don't know how you do it. Your unique ideas are incredible. You gave those brass plates a new life. Every house I know in the UK in the 70s had them. They were cheap and ugly even back then! Now they are charming and have brass frames. I'm officially obsessed with your channel. I would love to walk away from my house from a month and say do whatever feels good to you because I know my home would be lovely afterward

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you! Everyone’s home in the U.S. in the ‘70’s also had them. My mom’s had fruit designs and hung in our kitchen.

[@sandylmcallister]

I would love her to come and decorate my front room and bedroom!!

[@tammydixon7910]

Sherry, you are the epitome of thinking outside the box. I look forward to every video to see your unique transformations. I loved the spoon rack turned herb display.

[@vickimadsen3739]

Everything was great. But I have to say the decorative hook was my favorite.

[@merryaijlman7833]

You never disappoint Sherry. I so look forward to your videos. Everything came out over the top. Thank you for another fabulous video. ❤❤❤😊😊😊

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much, Merry!

[@chellepitts1990]

My mom had the same brass plates hanging in my childhood home in the 1950’s! Brought back memories…however, I cringed when you were pounding, but the final result is really pretty! I just love birds (way more than ships…haha) anyway! ❤ You never cease to amaze me.

[@lamar9331]

My mind is blown. You just do the most amazing designs and creations. I am hooked.

[@constanceblair6625]

No thrift store find was harmed in the making of this video😁Seriously, I believe all of these projects are perfect as usual and I'm inspired by your ideas.

[@fantan04]

Once again you created some unique and beautiful pieces and you ruined nothing - and enhanced everything! You really are an amazing crafter Sherry!😊😊😊

[@kibibishaw1194]

Very inspiring. Loved the Vintage Hook project because anything made of solid beefy wood makes me happy. Beautiful. 🌸

[@lauramccall5892]

My favorite is the candle box and the bird cage. They were all so clever and creative !

[@barbararoot4764]

I just discovered Canterbury Cottage.. I have been binging 😊. You just what the dr ordered ♥️

[@bonniesmith1179]

I don't think you ruined those brass plates. In fact, I think they turned out absolutely stunning, and much prettier than what you started with!

[@katherineharper-sj4ys]

I don’t think you ruined anything. All of these are really great. I just love your style and your unique sense of design. Can’t choose a favorite but the paint inlay frames and tapestry are very nice.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much, Katherine!

[@charlenegoskowicz8220]

I really like the plaque (last project). That is my favorite. Every one of these projects is a sure improvement over what those objects were in their former "lives." You did not mess up anything! You saved some outdated "stuff" from the landfill! My granny had some of those brass plates hanging in her breakfast area. Even then, she referred to them as "dust catchers." So much better with the tissue paper overlay!

[@doublescorpions]

Sherri, I really like that you finish the back side of your picture frames. When you cover the cardboard with paper or fabric to reinsert into the frame, rather than folding over the bulk corners, try cutting the corner of the fabric on a diagonal just a little ways away (not too tight to the corner) from each corner. This way when you fold over the two perpendicular sides to glue down you end up with what looks like mitered edges at the corner. Hope this works for you! S.

[@vintagelady1]

You did a great job re-imagining some ordinary pieces to make them special. The brass plates were so dated but turned out to be great frames for the bird pictures. I really like the bird cage/cash box & the candle box idea of being able to change the artwork. Good upcycling!

[@kimkramer3859]

You are brilliant and save so much from the landfill Don't every think twice about where your genius takes you even when it means cutting something up and giving it new life!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, Kim, thank you so much! You’re so sweet!

[@ruthie6749]

Fantastic! I loved all your projects. And I found watching you create very relaxing. The tapestries were perfect!

[@conniegray3272]

My favorite is the table pedestal base turned shelf with a hook! Very unique! 🏆

[@brendaholmes72]

ok I can see why someone would think the brass plates or the tapesty were messed up. But these were headed to the landfill... You rescured them, up graded the look, and now someone else can enjoy the pieces!!! The frames you created for the tapesty were my favorite project,

[@corinnetippit7983]

After the huge garage cleanup I bet you found some handy items to incorporate with thrift finds. I really like dark wood with hook project.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, Corinne! Yes, I have a few more items that I need to make use of really soon that I’ve been storing in the garage.

[@lindasmith5190]

I just can't believe the transformations. I LOVE the little shelf with the hook you created. I love them all.

[@connietowler3725]

Your videos go by so fast. That's because I enjoy them so much. Never disappointed. Always beautiful DIY's. Thank you...

[@_.-._.-._.-._.-.]

I love the last one! I have some oddly shaped picture frames, so doing something like that is perfect!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you! I’m so glad this project gave you an idea!

[@vickinoeske1154]

I don't know how you do it week after week, but you always come up with ingenious ideas. The small pieces of tapestry in the frames look great. And, I love the little lamp. I wondered what you were going to do with that.😊

[@yzolakitchi]

Nothing ruined with your wonderful skills :-) I love the birdcage, looks much more interesting and authentic with the metal box attached. The hidden phone charging box is brilliant. I've been trying to design something to disguise my router box for a few months now. Definitely more challenging than I thought, but you've given me the push to try and figure it out. Also, I'm so happy the little bird pics are still proving useful 🥰

[@abbyrock5684]

My mother had those same brass plates back in the 1960s and I didn't like them, so, IMO, you improved them tremendously! Love every project!

[@debrabell2604]

I love them all as always but The resin vase with those moody flowers is gorgeous, oh my gosh 😮 I liked the way all the pictures turned out.

[@Blessedgirl1955]

I agree with the other commenters, you never ruin anything but always come up with a unique idea to transform your items into something even more special. I love the tapestry pictures in those small frames, adorable and oh my that blue and white lamp I adore.

[@Sandy-oe5mh]

I have several of those brass plates that NOBODY will buy in my booth. I'm about to steal your smash idea. Thank you!

[@user-wg4vx1xf4v]

You have absolutely outdone yourself with these flips

[@fridaemilsson8868]

You did not ruin anything. Love them all 😍

[@deborahdavey1743]

I initially thought, when I first saw the plates, oh no. I think this was because my grandparents had very similar plates hanging on a wall. But when I saw what you had completed with them as well, I thought they were very beautiful well done for taking, the risk it was well worth it. The wood squares are not to my test, but the hook on the base of the table pedestal is beautiful. I believe the tapestry as a whole had had its day and you using it to make two pictures for your wall is a great idea. Everything you did today was beautiful and surprising as always. Thank you so much!!!!

[@sherylcarter6242]

I also love chinoiserie! I love seeing "my" style shown instead of bland neutral stuff. Thanks for representing Sherry!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you!

[@robinsabo6932]

All are very unique and pretty! The brass trays are perfect! And the hobby lobby frames are so cleverly redesigned!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@lucyllanio8950]

Love the rusty vase and the picture. You never seize to amaze me.

[@lorikorstanje2964]

You amaze me with your flips they are stunning you have great skills and a good imagination to change these finds into decor that is smashing

[@linsuemayland6719]

I always love watching your clever transformations. My favorite today is the resin vase. It looks just like a gorgeous antique vase with a lovely floral arrangement.❤

[@brenyule]

It’s hard to pick a favorite. The. Tapestry frames were gorgeous. Loved the birdhouse and planter too. So love these flips!❤.

[@galemurphy5497]

Yes the brass plates look much better. As I am not a fan of brass. But that birdcage was phenomenal. Bravo

[@coriadams2195]

I love your ideas!!! I’ve been searching for someone to watch with new ideas and I have watched countless videos that I don’t like so I am so appreciative of you.

[@loisruthstrom8143]

I love how the little blue and white lamp turned out! I have been wanting to make a lamp like that from a small pot that I thrifted. I salvaged a brass vase base from a small, broken glass lamp, as well as the faux brass cap, which are the perfect size for the pot. After seeing yours, I think a chandelier socket would work well for my project, too. Thanks for the idea! 👍😀

[@TheyCallMeNonnie]

No, you did not ruin them! I love it❤

[@christinecochran6034]

Oh I am in love with the frames/ tapestries!!!!!!!!!!!¡!!!!

[@gabriellacorbin3415]

Your imagination is endless - great projects

[@greatestever6738]

Sherry, I love your videos, I watch them over over. My favorite was the bird cage. And you certainly ruined nothing.😊

[@dianerussell2835]

I love watching your videos! I don’t even have the same style as I live in a high-rise, but I am always curious to see what you come up with and how creative you are! You have a true gift.

[@etiquetteconnoisseur6184]

Definitely, I like the tapestry in the frames.

[@midgethorn4083]

The lamp turned out nicely. Everything did!

[@maryjokley7247]

You didn’t ruin the tapestry especially since it was previously glued down. Love the results!

[@horselady65]

I love everything you do, I’m learning from you and want to try some of the things you do. You’re an inspiration.😊❤️

[@myhillslife27]

Hello! #1 I love the plates BUT the design is longer really popular/relevant. I love they're not going into landfill. Thats a great solution & you can choose your OWN theme +LOVE the texture! I've often wondered what to do with them! Well Done 10/10! #2 Me too! love little drawers! 10/10 Love it. #3 Great upcycle idea! 10/10 #4 I like them, yes

[@VickieAllen1109]

Oh my goodness Sherry, how can one pick just one they are all amazing! 💜💜💜

[@susanholding2809]

I love them all! I was so excited to see the spoon holder flip. I thrifted one as well. Mine has a second shelf and I was going to use it in my sewing room to display my Mother’s thimble collection. Now I know just how to take it to the next level!

[@philomenafowler833]

I can never choose a favourite of yours, you are so talented i just love everything you do. Love what you did without the tapestry ❤. Thanks for sharing your amazing talent cheri ❤xxx

[@loumac]

Definitely improved the brass plates 😊 and the tapestry.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Yay, thank you!

[@bobbieholtzclaw5146]

You are the best. All of your projects are unique. I am so happy when I see you have posted a video. Thanks.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thanks so much, Bobbie! You are so very sweet! 😊

[@katherinepereira9088]

Loved all of these. Favorite two (can you believe it? I actually narrowed it down to two) are the bird cage and the set of picture frames.

[@jolynnmulder1655]

You are so clever and talented at what you do. I so enjoy watching your videos for your creative ideas.

[@sandylmcallister]

Everything that you do is brilliant. My favs are the ones that you had the strawberry picture on, the rusted piece, and the very last one😍

[@user-ug1gh2vk4i]

Everything is absolutely beautiful ❤😂

[@marycoffee7366]

Look the blue/white lamp you created👏👏👏👏

[@conniedelvigna9427]

I love what you did with the large frames and tapestry squares. Very pretty!

[@noraleestone2859]

I like the birdcage on the cash box the best. Very ingenious. 😍🤯👍

[@venuscruz6075]

Gorgeous bird plates, I love the bracket as a shelf, and the 3 square wood items are awesome. the bird cage was very nice also. Your ideas amaze me, they are so good.

[@marciakessler1911]

You give me the courage to cut or break things!!! Thank you from Kansas!❤

[@conniemalone8939]

I Literally Love Everything you Touch! You have such an Amazing Crafty Way!❤❤🐶

[@shygirl-vg9re]

I love the brass plates and the spoon rack for flowers. I also love the shelf.

[@debrap947]

The birdcage is my favorite but I also love what you did with two large grey frames!

[@texasstardust6010]

Oh my goodness... The Resin Container ..loved the design on it. ..that is one of my favourites that you did, ( but, being me, lol.. I probably would have done a different paint finish, ) it looks really nice. The other favourite was the Lamp... I adore seeing Unique Lamps like that ..( not " junky ' what- in- the - w o r l d - were -they-thinking" Lamps, lol). This one looks sooooo pretty...it looks so lovely . I know your Community looks forward to seeing what Miss Sherry is up to on Mondays! ✨️👏🏻🙂😊🖌

[@patnatali4171]

Again, you continue to amaze me.

[@lynneallison1296]

This was an especially wonderful collection, Sherry, I loved them all! As a student of herbalism that little spoon rack absolutely charmed me; unsurprisingly someone has snapped it up, but I'm inspired to hunt one down and remake it in similar fashion. I got a lot of beautiful ideas from this post, thank you!

[@CanterburyCottage]

You are so welcome! I’m so glad you liked today’s projects. Since you are an herbalist, I think you need a much larger spoon rack anyway!

[@karenkennedy766]

I loved the blue and white piece that you turned into a lamp.

[@Vonbudigan]

You didn't ruin anything. Your vision was spot on. The plates turned out beautifully, as did all of your creations. I love watching you bring new life to items. You're curating a beautiful home for you and your family. Thanks for allowing us to be a part of it ❤.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much!

[@bexlaviolette]

I can't even tell you how long I've been watching your videos and I get so inspired by all the clever ideas you come up with. I think I've naturally melded with your style now, and family and friends are amazed at what I come up with (hint, hint, following your style most of the time!) I appreciate you so much and think that your artistry brings the utmost joy to what I try to accomplish to this day. Thank you so much for having the courage to create this wonderful channel. You are a great idol.

[@cindygrim3060]

I loved the ceramic lamp, what a great way to update the piece

[@christinashirey1178]

The last one is my favorite. The 2nd to last was very good, too.

[@annelane2966]

Love what you did with a tapestry doomed for the landfill. Good job

[@marynovara4777]

Your talent is a gift from God❤❤

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, Mary! God does give us each different gifts, doesn’t he? FYI I’m a terrible singer, so he passed me by when giving out musical gifts! 😜

[@evelynholcomb3174]

I am always amazed by how creative you are! Love it all!!!

[@tammyjohnson7401]

I can never really pick a favorite i'm so impressed with them all. Thank you

[@CanterburyCottage]

Glad you like them! Thank you, Tammy! 😊

[@poodlegirl55]

I am so intrigued by the paint inlays, they are just my style and would look nice on some drawers. I love them with the tapestry.

[@cretapoole857]

Beautiful. Every transformation was absolutely gorgeous.

[@pattyphillips4596]

Plates a hit. Love spoon cabinet. Phone charger great idea. Yes I would hang the blocks. Now this bird cage could use a nest change box front for seasons. Really like the flower frame. You are brave blue and white is may very favorite. Rust is in my world. I would never had thought of using the plaque in such away. I look forward to Monday's just to see what you have made. Thanks

[@lindawynell]

It’s so hard to choose…I guess the lamp. It really turned out so pretty.

[@susantaulli6580]

I would definitely hang the tapestries in my house. So unique.
