Thrift to Treasure | Creating Beautiful Home Decor

[@SoleildePerez]

My husband doesn’t like me to buy « old used junk », as he sais. But, I have decided, I will buy things I can recycle and transform. I love your videos! 😊😊😊

[@GingerChickRehab]

Love that. And you should. It’s so satisfying to repair and give something new life❤

[@PaigeNicoleKomar]

You always do such a great job when upcycling things and I really appreciate that you take the time to fix things and clean then properly beforehand. A lot of KZbinrs don't take that right and it just makes SUCH a difference in the finished result! Love your work girl ❤❤❤

[@GingerChickRehab]

I so glad you notice.. I try not to ever leave that part out. ❤

[@mistyb8434]

I notice that kind of stuff too.😊

[@PaigeNicoleKomar]

I think the piece you popped off of the rolling swan toy was supposed to be a wing?

[@GingerChickRehab]

Maybe.. it was kind of weird 🥴

[@judyseekford9656]

I thought foot

[@ginacrusco234]

I like the pull-toy swan! Maybe that piece you removed was supposed to be a tucked-up wing?

[@GingerChickRehab]

Maybe.. I wasn’t sure

[@linmims3049]

I've not been much of a swan fan, but you have certainly made me look at them in a different light. I have grown to like them. I especially like the black ones. Inspiration? YES! You are the epitome of the word! Thank you for that!! Embrace the perfectly imperfect! xx

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you ❤

[@lorrainemccreery2994]

Your hair is so pretty. I love your crafts. I grew up in Detroit and now live in Alabama. I love thrifting.

[@mistyb8434]

Be still my heart ❤️ those swans were just gorgeous.😍 The black one with the yellow mustard has to be my favorite.🥰🫶🏼

[@judithstonier9872]

The pull along toy Swan is lovely I never seem to see swans fir sale but there are a pair on the canal near where I live and their 5 young from this year are just getting their beautiful white plumage just like yours ! ❤😊

[@genevievemurray7743]

Lovely swans. Tip:- poke a pin into the centre of each swan eye before painting to locate position after the base coat finished. I hope you can find some of those steel wheels one day and create your own pull along animal toys. It looks like Chris the Handy Hubby can create anything from wood you design.

[@GingerChickRehab]

That's a great idea! Thank you

[@donnamcl6134]

The basket with the swans is so pretty. Oh the little box with the swan is just so cute. The pull toy is precious. Really like the wood duck. Great easy projects that I think I could do! TFS Yvonne.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@burghbrat3319]

I need a swan. I just do. All your projects turned out beautiful, thank you.

[@Beth01111]

I bought those nippers. I love them. Thank you.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Awesome.. they come in very handy ❤

[@kellihull7600]

These were all so sweet, even the poor little solo swan 😢❤ WAY too short! LOL I could watch for hours and hours, but I DO appreciate even your short videos! ❤

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you.. Chris just watch and said wait it’s over. Wow that was quick 🥴🤗

[@cathycoons9032]

I love swans and ducks. Great makeovers. ❤

[@mechelegill4651]

I love them all but the swans in the basket stole my heart! I love them soooooo much😍

[@vickidunkle3698]

I love it all but swan couple in the best basket my favorite!😅😊

[@margaretdillinger5090]

Loved them all. Yeah, the two in the basket, that’s a beautiful decor piece. My fave.😊❤

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@homebodyheaven6114]

I bought a large 70’s wooden goose painted in horrible colors like a duck. I painted it white with black eyes. It sold quickly.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Oh.. I bet it did. People really like birds❤

[@tammieray8126]

I love watching you. I learn so much. You're in Michigan. Wow, I'm in Monroe michigan.

[@GingerChickRehab]

You’re not far from me.. one of the dealers that works at the antique mall where our booths are lives in Monroe. Small world ❤

[@ellenl5626]

Those swans in the beautiful basket were lovely! Can you recommend a small size staple gun; mine is huge and hard to use.

[@GingerChickRehab]

amzn.to/46DEPd0 This is the one I use.. after I myself going through quite a few staple gun. Though it’s not small in size.

[@belindagibson455]

Everything is very pretty. Your lucky you have such a talented husband.

[@GingerChickRehab]

I definitely feel blessed

[@debbied3116]

Swans look so serene in the basket. The big swan looks so much better black than the navy blue. Thanks for sharing!!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you

[@martinadavis4802]

Love the way you upcycle & display the swans… it’s just classic Yvonne ❤❤❤

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thanks so much 😊

[@barbararaisbeck8821]

When you sell the swans in the basket and the greenery, do yiu sell as a total price or do you sell each item priced individually?

[@GingerChickRehab]

It would be a total price. Though I listed these on eBay and not my booth. Because it’s easier to sell them grouped.

[@susanguyer8146]

LOVE!

[@brendaphilyaw3677]

You are so fortunate to get those swans! I have had my eye out for one for a while now! I gave up and asked my grandson for some old duck decoys! Not got those yet either! Lol

[@GingerChickRehab]

Oh.. I hope you get some. Some duck decoys are worth good money.

[@marvineblackburn7846]

Your swans are always beautiful!! ❤

[@vickypitman5546]

Love all the swans , still can’t rest though coz I need to know what happened to the swan with big hole in him 😢

[@GingerChickRehab]

Saturday.👍 just finished it it🦢

[@margaretwilliams6134]

You are always an inspiration ♥️♥️

[@lydiakinnaman3679]

I love the swans and duckies too.

[@sherrymcsherry2984]

Your videos are always great. I never miss one. Keep up the excellent work. It doesn’t go unnoticed. I was at a barn sale a few weeks ago and I found a large brown swan. It was beautiful and I immediately thought about you. I really like how you styled your hair. It shows off your pretty face.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Awesome find. Aww.. thank you , you are too kind 🥰

[@donnadozier4294]

Chris did a great job with the missing leg. Makes a big difference when you can repair some of your finds. I love all your swans! Great video! Thanks for sharing Yvonne!

[@GingerChickRehab]

Yes.. it does. We know not everyone can or wants to🤗

[@donnadozier4294]

@@GingerChickRehab I find buying the broken ones quite rewarding when you are able to fix them.

[@rbirkheimer59]

I always like watching you paint. Goodness you can really work your brush. They all turned out wonderful,just like they always do. Practice makes perfect:) Thanks for doin your Chickie thing! Always look for your flips everyday. God Bless. Hugs, Rebekah

[@GingerChickRehab]

Thank you so much 😀

[@gailhannon5794]

Is it just me or what? Where is the place to find the nippers? I’ve been wanting some and can’t find the ones you use!😅 The swans with the greenery are beautiful! The swan pull toy…my oh my! I love the yummy crackles on that duck or goose, too! Gorgeous make-overs!❤

[@shellydehart8217]

I’m falling in love with swans. Ever since I saw your large ones sitting on a cabinet in the other house. You making them over gives them more life. I loved them all n the black one is a real cutie. Am I inspired? Oh yes I am! ♥️♥️😊👍👍🌟🌟

[@jerisharpe906]

Maybe that piece of wood on the rolling swan was suppose to be a wing.

[@GingerChickRehab]

Maybe 🤗

[@wg146]

Swans are beautiful!

[@stephanieb2557]

I need those nippers and couldn't find the link. I also need a heat gun, do you have a preference? I'm loving your projects, keep the ideas and great stuff coming!! ❤

[@judyschmetter1878]

Have you sold your other house yet? Just curious! I am a Realtor in Texas. If you were here in Texas, you would have sold very quickly!

These all turned out amazing! My kitten loved watching you paint & he even tried to help by rubbing the screen.

[@patriciaharvey7508]

Your vignettes are always so adorable. Old and rusty is my style too. Today, I especially like the swans in the basket.Thanks for all of your tips on colors and painting techniques. I love seeing Chris working with you. You two are so pleasant, my favorite videos for sure . And those crocks of yours….. Oh my, I love them all. I am drawn to the flawed and cracked ones. 😍

Oh.. Thanks so much! 😊
