I am loved that first chunky round piece.

[@roseknott2832]

I save all of my butter bowls, whipped cream bowls so now I have a giant tote full of paint bowls.

[@roxiewallace2900]

I love that you makeover items to be "wanted again." There is so much waste in this world and too many things in the landfill. The stamps on that black chest are perfect!😊

[@terivertefeuille6996]

Very nice!

[@mauriemartin6080]

That black box is yummy!

[@marvineblackburn7846]

Wonderful! Loved each one! ❤

[@jeannewatkins4074]

I am really glad someone besides me loves distress. Such fun projects this evening. Thank You for bringing us along. ❤

[@GingerChickRehab]

[@annpotter5366]

Who says you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear?? You certainly did out of that old box!! Love it !!!!

[@DeborahMassie]

Amazing job. I had to watch 3 times because I kept getting interrupted. Lol.

[@nanharrison2997]

I love your channel. You are truly an amazing crafter.

[@mrsdragnfly]

Wow! Your work is fantastic! Loving the videos.

[@junerobbins6871]

I love the closh over the wood round . You could put totally different thinhgs in it to show off for any holliday year round. The wood box is marvelous. I love the gray peeking through. I think I'd like a couple of flowers on the top too

[@maxtaylor7105]

These are absolutely beautiful my friend! I cannot believe how you stencil the word" bread" by holding those pieces on, I almost gasped out loud when the b letter slipped out of your fingers! Ha! I can barely manage to keep a regular stencil and line! That final piece, the chest is stunning! Can't even imagine how devastated you must have felt I only paying $2 and then leaving it behind! It truly was worth retrieving even at the increased price! Im learning a lot from you, thx so much! Great job! 👍 ❤

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you.. I appreciate this

[@Blessedgirl1955]

Loved all of these and that bread box and the wooden box turned out amazing!!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thanks so much 😊

[@tlur8813]

So good, just so good!!

[@jeanmcbride5629]

You amaze me! Beautiful flips.

[@jeanmcbride5629]

Looks like a birthday cake!

[@ellenl5626]

Yvonne you are such a constant source of inspiration! Green has been creeping into my projects more lately, and I just realized it's your enthusiasm for the color that has rubbed off on me. The bread box was spectacular!

[@b.l.wilson9724]

You ALWAYS have the best projects. I loved all of these.

[@lisaryherd4593]

I love how beautiful the bread box and the black chest turned out!!!

[@jadestone8552]

The bread box was really nice after you made it over. I box at the was my favorite tho

[@shellydehart8217]

Oooh la la loving that old black box especially adding the stencil . I also thought that bread box turned out super cool. Mixing those green colors together made it a beautiful green. Was a little nervous when doing stencil but should of none better as your a real pro at it. I checked out that brush you used n yes they are a little expensive but sometimes it’s worth paying the price when it gives a great performance. Just might have to break down n get one. ♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you Shelly. Yes you know when you spend that kind of money on a brush.. it’s get taken care of better than any other of my brushes that’s for sure.

[@ginamaria2579]

You are such an amazing artist 🤗💕

[@deborahtaylor-baker844]

Love the box.

[@sherrymcsherry2984]

Wow…. Another awesome video. I really loved so many of your projects…. But that black box at the end was gorgeous. You turned me onto the black wax. I love it. 🖤

[@maryfrancesbaker289]

I was a little surprised to see you use some color! You really made the little green piece look old! Love it!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you! 😊

[@tracyshumaker8272]

I just love all of these❤

[@deemanolaros6036]

You can certainly work magic with anything you touch. Love watching your videos. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@sandydennis4856]

Love watching your projects!! ❤

[@vickypitman5546]

Small amount of rub and buff on horses mane and tail would tie it in with brass on clock and gold on books 👍🏼

[@terriallen2537]

Yvonne... Your creations were stunning, as always. I appreciate your time, talent and inspiration. You always give us your BEST!! Look forward to see what you create in your next video. Take care and God bless 😊

[@helengibson8196]

Wow! All the projects are beautiful but I particularly loved the outcome of the trunk at the end. It is so pretty 🌷

[@lynnepelletier8882]

Thanks for the video. Love everything 😊❤

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thanks for watching!

[@dorikell5179]

Great video!

[@vickidunkle3698]

So lovely! The cloche is perfection!❤😊

[@lauramorgan8700]

Paper ice cream bowls! And they come in super cute designs.

[@robinjackson5035]

Hi Yvonne, another great video! As always, I love all. You're amazing and all of your projects are awesome. It's the Bible's in the cloche for me, but of course I love it all. Thanks my friend!❤

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you so much!

[@madeleingrove4833]

Idea for the 'disposable bowls', get some ziplock bags, line your silver container with them then mix your paint. Can also seal the left over paint so it doesnt dry out when your done, less waste 😉

[@delmiller4184]

Amazing projects Yvonne!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you so much!

[@hopenorris6776]

I never miss a show. Love ur craftsmanship and Chris hard work to please you.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you ❤

[@longbranch11207]

Omg that breadbox is so stunning

[@NDbred]

When you were painting the round block of wood, it looked like you were frosting a cake!

[@karen.bethel2337]

Beautiful projects as always, Yvonne!

[@debbieholbrook3827]

❤❤❤

[@yvettekraemer4703]

I owned a craft mall for 23 years. One day a little old lady brought a craft to me and asked if I could give her a discount because the item was chipped and worn. I explained to her that was done on purpose. She was shocked and couldn’t understand why someone would make it look old. Her reaction tickled me so much!

[@sherrymcsherry2984]

That’s my husband…. He always wants to make everything look new….NO….I love chipped, cracked and distressed pieces.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Character.. it’s character ❤

[@lmurphy1219]

I have a friend who’s exactly that way too!! She thinks I’m nuts for LOVING aged looking (or actual) items!! She really dislikes “old” things….Lol!!! And I’m ALL about “previously loved” items….💖💖💖

[@Schnooks83]

I bought an old large pie safe. It was chipped, scarred and beat up. A friend was helping my husband carry it in and he asked what I was going to do with it. Paint it? I said OMG no!!! It is perfect!! I will clean it! He was mortified. She is beautiful and is filled with some of my antique quilts.

[@kimcollins9462]

Yvonne, every project is beautiful. I love the risers, the way you made them look OMG😮 be still my heart and that box is stunning ❤️ God bless.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thanks so much 😊

[@sylvialangworthy1435]

Love watching you create. All of these projects turned out great! Thank you for sharing. 🤗

[@sherienewton5166]

I have that same breadbox in my stash! I love what you did with yours!!

[@charleneblake1146]

Fabulous creations, as usual❤

[@joslynward2741]

I liked all of these! The first piece ended up looking like a birch log almost! Neat effect & re-use of that item!

[@diannahartin8394]

❤

[@sharoncooper4223]

I love your tips and tricks for various paint techniques and applying stamps, just learned a lot today! Thanks😊

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you

[@baileysthe4239]

Hi. Would some magnets have helped to steady your stencil on the bread box. Just love watching your videos. Chippy all the way!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Maybe

[@JackieBurnsCreations]

Loved everything. I really like how you use the tape with the stamps. I always worry they are going to slip. I need to give it a try.

[@GingerChickRehab]

It’s very helpful

[@conniegonzales5294]

I watch a lot of KZbin but you are my best KZbinr if that is a word😅 I just love how u explain everything and you have such a pleasant voice..right now I'm at a stand still I moved in my brother with stage 4 throt cancer so my craft room is now his bedroom 😢 for now pray all goes well for him.. thank you again for all your inspiration ❤

[@donnamcl6134]

Amazing projects today. Love them all BUT today I do have a favorite, the Bibles under the Cloche. TFS Yvonne

[@GingerChickRehab]

Aww..thank you ❤

[@joycesnyder2988]

As usual these came out so very nice ❣️❣️

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thanks so much 😊

[@teresap8504]

love love love my Japanese saw !! Sought one out after seeing you use it. I've learned techniques watching you, but have also improved on my tools !! The saw, nippers, lazy susans, sponges, brush selections..so thanks for that also !!!❤

[@user-sk2px6ox7m]

Love the flips!..especially with that milk paint!..I use a hairdryer seems to dry paint pretty good..thank u for the inspiration Yvonne ❤

[@bonniesmith1179]

That bread box was beautiful, and I absolutely LOVE the color. I’ve gotten to the point over the past few years that I really love green colors. So many of them are gorgeous, and the milk paints you blend to get the color you used on the bread box is amazing. And what you did on the old box, the one you bought twice (which definitely was worth it in my opinion) was terrific. I have an old wooden tool box very similar to that one. I’ve been debating on what to do with it, and what color I wanted to use on it. When I saw what you did to yours, I had several ideas on what I wanted to do. Thanks for the wonderful inspiration!!

[@chrisabq1702]

All your projects are beautiful...LOVE the black chest!! 🤗

[@ilove4everJesus]

Loving that black chest love the flowers so cute

[@chrisjackson2345]

I would not have painted that old wood block, oh well just me. also I liked the bread box as it was. wood is back in.

[@FoundandRedesigned]

Dollar tree has some paper ice cream cups or dessert cups that are not as deep as a cup and a little wider than a cup. Maybe they would work for mixing milk paint....

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you

[@judithstonier9872]

I had to smile at the comment about the lady who wantd a discount as the item was distressed as I had just been thinking of how much time I used to spend making paint perfect and now I'm doing the opposite ! Loved all the projects as usual 😊❤

[@GingerChickRehab]

Yes.. than your not sad when it gets a boo boo.. it just adds more character

[@JeannieMitchellMyers]

I love the black box!

[@leochavez7184]

Turned out great

[@cheriayala]

You are inspiring thanks

[@brendaphilyaw3677]

Wow! Thanks for sharing. I learn so much from you. THE BREAD BOX IS AWESOME, BUT THAT BLACK BOX IS MY FAVORITE,

[@user-ew6lr2zk1z]

The bowl s you would want are made for parties. For ice cream

[@cathyjackson5959]

Yvonne!! So happy you continue to use green!! The bread box was Gorgeous!💚My heart went to the tool box!! I was thinking as you started it, that it needed to be she tool box!! Wha-La!! I can see some galvanized wire boxes with cardboard bottoms (that can easily be changed out) for paint brushes, screw drivers, wire snipers, pliers, etc❤️💫❤️ Loving that She Tool Box!!!!❤️🌼❤️

[@pattybrooks1561]

Beautiful transformations of each item. Can't wait to try flips.

[@kellihull7600]

How funny! Dave (hubby) and I were just talking about the Japanese knife, he says a Ginsu? I said, no! It’s not a steak knife! Yvonne and Chris (he knows who you are by now) use it, super sharp skinny little saw. He says yeah! I have one in my job box, I have always just called it a Ginsu! 😂 I also have to tell you, the music you played when painting the black box gets me pumped! It’s like your superhero theme song! I just know something REALLY awesome is coming! 😂😂😂

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thanks for the laughs.. I remember the Ginsu.. I got one free one my friend thought it was a good idea to me a Rainbow cleaning/vacuum salesman. It was a demo gift.. lol. Now that was a while ago. But you know it was all about the free gift 🥴😁

[@kellihull7600]

@@GingerChickRehabDave got irritated when I bought a Kirby while he was at work. 😂 door to door and all the “stuff” they pull out of your furniture…. SOLD 😂

[@TheCraftyMagnolia]

If you can find them, silicone bowls work GREAT for any kind of paint.

I absolutely love that toolbox, it is gorgeous

Wonderful video. Your vignette with the round is beautiful! The brass boxed turned out amazing. And I really loved the box with the sunflower stamp. Thank you!❤❤❤

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you so much!

[@Paytonsplace5865]

I use 16 oz clear cups. The paint doesn’t stick because there’s just enough film to prevent it and I can see when it’s mixed we.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you

Use solo cups

[@donnamcl6134]

Yvonne I hope you see this comment. I won the bid on the Rusty Star with mouse and candle. I did not notice my house number was wrong until after payment it's 7323 NOT 7313.

Yay!!! For winning.❤ No worries I’ll make sure it’s right. Thank you for your purchase and for letting me know.

Love ❤️ the bible thing

[@kathleenjohnson7842]

For disposable bowls for mixing paint, I use ice cream bowls that I bought in a pack of 10 and they also came with the clear plastic lids. Great little paper bowls. I bought them at the dollarama store in the party section.24:30
