Thrifting, DIY & Styling the Hottest Home Trends: 2024 Edition

[@nata3467]

yes to covering the tv with the painting- genius

[@nelikurjaninow6611]

I love it!

[@sheilagravely5621]

I agree wholeheartedly!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@smithpuckett]

Agree!

[@tinabennett8524]

We have one television and we only watch it maybe, once a week. But it’s “center stage “ and dominates the room. If I could cover it I would!! In your home, I might try a decorative hook (coat hook style )above the clock, so that when you want to use the television you could easily transfer the painting above. (Doubling up the wall decor) we had an old fuse box on a main wall. For years we had wall art over it, then later I made a Velcro cover for it, so we could access it when needed. Your television doesn’t stand out and dominate, due to the dark bookshelves. But I personally like the look. I like when they overhang pictures on a bookshelf, using a stocking hanger hook. I enjoy layers, I just don’t enjoy the dusting 🤭. I enjoyed this, as always, thanks!

[@gaylebagley5612]

Love the painting there! The colors are great, too!👍

[@gillianbradley8159]

You are so fortunate to have such great Thrift Stores that also price things reasonably.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Yes, I realize that I am lucky. I have shopped in stores in other places and sometimes the prices are outrageous!

[@loiscarteaux9389]

Yes! Ours have gotten so expensive 😫

[@tammysue53]

I live in Scottsdale AZ and people say your thrift stores must be amazing Well they are not! Everything is so used. I don’t mind painting or repairing things but not for the prices they are asking.

[@bella67402]

I'm in New England it's pretty expensive here too. I don't see many garage sales anymore 😢

[@nannaflamingo2806]

In the UK we have charity shops, I rarely see any thrift stores. And most of them are getting expensive! I’ve found the best place to go is the tip (or dump) as many of them now have charity shops and they’re so much cheaper. Thanks to Sherry I’m visiting my local tip shop regularly! 😊

[@JanMoore-z1x]

There is no such thing as "too much" William Morris. Everything blends together seamlessly. Seeing someone besides me put framed artwork in front of TV thrilled my very soul. I've done it for years to cover that ugly black hole....lol

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you! I wish you would have told me to find a painting to put in front of the TV years ago!

[@Fitzwillyfl]

I’ve rediscovered my love of William Morris thanks to this channel. Temu has some amazing and well priced William Morris items available.

[@gillianbradley8159]

I love the service Temu provides so will look that up. I did buy a William Morris scrapbook of designs off Amazon.

[@barbaraweber3084]

I love your chair and the warmer colors. It's almost too good to be true that the grey and white everything trend is gone!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you! I can’t believe I actually convinced myself that I liked gray! Now, it’s going to take awhile to get rid of all of it!

[@casandradickinson8518]

I never did gray anything, I do not follow trends, you are very creative, you never have to follow trends, your home is timeless.

[@michaelsnider2484]

Grey interiors: 🤮. Thought this all thro the trend. Will still be thinking it. 😊 Unless, of course, you enjoy living in an institution....😊😁

[@gloriaguzman729]

The red little table,is just beautiful!!!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you, Gloria! 😊

[@diannamacdonald3716]

I really like the way you take seemingly unrelated items and marry them together to create little treasures. The little chair is so cute!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you, Dianna! 😊

[@kristinwidman1249]

The Lunch box, the child's chair and that butterfly mirror!!!!! GENIUS!!!!!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, Kristin!

[@sheilagravely5621]

I thrifted a really old highchair and it made a lovely plant stand. I wrapped ivy down one of the legs, and everyone that comes by loves it!oh, I didn't do Anything to the chair....❤❤❤

[@janhaley1212]

I came home from college and to my delight my childhood rocking chair was in the living room. My mother had it fixed and refinished. It was black with gold toile painting on it. Under the paint the rocker was made from walnut. I have it in my living room now and my first granddaughter sits in it. It’s priceless.

[@lorrainebartlett4290]

Wow. So many things to choose as favorites. The watermelon print looks really good as a coverup for the TV. I loved the gold frame with the William Morris fabric. I thought it looked excellent next to the WM curtains. I didn't think I'd like the butterfly mirror, but that gold leaf gave it real WOW power. Well done.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thanks so much, Lorraine! I wasn’t sure I would like the gold leaf or not, but I’m so glad I gave it a try. 😊

[@janhaley1212]

I love the welcome needle point. The green frame really sets it off. You’ve created so many wonderful things for your home. The picture in front of the TV is perfect. We don’t have a TV in our living room. Really love the William Morris things in your house. I look forward to your videos.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much, Jan!

[@cedarcottagefarm2885]

It’s nice to see my decor choices are in style.

[@CanterburyCottage]

That’s how I feel, too!

[@michaelsnider2484]

When they inevitably go out of style, you just keep doing you, boo! 😊

[@JoanHackney]

The red end table..................YES!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you! 😊

[@MaryLove-y9s]

The salt and pepper shakers are very nice...😊the cloche is very earthy...😊 the pillow is adorable love it...😊 the trinket dish is darling...😊 the lunch box IA very unique...I love the blue it almost looks like it's porcelain 😊...the chair is so sweet...😊...love clocks just like you...City Beauty products look so nice on you...😊

[@MaryLove-y9s]

Love it the picture looks fabulous in front of the tv...I honestly couldn't see you taking your clock down...😊 the frame is gorgeous with the needle point...😊the frame is perfect next to the curtains the table cloth is awesome...😊 the mirror is awesome I love it...😊 that table is divine decadence and a great conversation piece...😊

[@michellemitchell9627]

The William Morris table cloth looks great next to the William Morris curtains. Also, I love all your new glasses. The frames that you have picked out are perfect for your pretty face.😊❤. Another great video. Thanks.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you! I have Pair Eyewear glasses, so the fronts are changeable. They are just held in place with magnets.

[@Royal-Junk]

I love the deer picture with the William Morris print. And wow, that butterfly mirror is gorgeous!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you!

[@merryaijlman7833]

Great finds Sherry. I have to tell you about my roommate back in the sixties. She would find old black lunch boxes like the one you found. She would paint them with oil paints covering them with tiny flowers. She always was able to sell them to men who thought they would certainly get comments from their coworkers. Thanks for another great video. ❤😊

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, what a fun roommate you had! I wish that I could paint like that! Funny, but my college roommate was an artist,too. I always admired her realistic drawings.

[@cassfonnesbeck8057]

Wow! Your thrift store is far better than anything in my small town. Great projects!

[@bethbenson1931]

I live in a rather large town in Arizona with lots of thrift stores, but our prices are always higher than what she shows us. Goodwill has almost gotten out of my price range. In many items, what was $3 two years ago is now on sale for $12.49. Considered not going anymore, but I still pop in now and again. That, plus I don't resell my items, so my house can only hold so much. 😊

[@cassfonnesbeck8057]

@bethbenson1931 our thrift stores don't get much good stuff either, and you're absolutely right, prices have gotten out of control.

[@CanterburyCottage]

In shopping thrift stores in many states and cities, I have discovered that the best prices are usually in the suburbs of large cities. Smaller towns don’t get as many donations, so they have higher prices. Inner city thrift stores are usually both overpriced and picked over. Of course, there are always exceptions. I live in a mid-size city.

[@cassfonnesbeck8057]

@@CanterburyCottage you get the best stuff!!

[@MamaT160]

Love all the projects, but especially love the child's chair loaded with books, and the S&P shakers updated to a beautiful vase.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thanks so much! I think the chair was my favorite, too. (And, I wasn’t expecting to like it that much.)

[@tinamcivor2996]

That $7 painting is Wow! Perfect in that room with the bright green watermelon! Brilliant!

[@Dpwashington55]

Absolutely keep the painting in front of the tv!! Love it! ❤

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you! Will do!

[@JanPetersen-lm4th]

The cabinet knobs in the last project are THE BEST! What a great place for them. Yes, I think that picture fits just right in front of the tv. I have a picture in front of the fireplace. LOL I love the tablecloth as a picture. It fits well on that wall.! Thanks for the inspiration. Spring is getting closer, at least my daffodils thinks so!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you, Jan. My yard is covered with 10 inches of snow with an inch of ice on top of that. The daffodils are nowhere in sight in Illinois!

[@janetbirkmann669]

Love the painting leaning against the TV! It's a great idea! Can easily be lifted down to the floor if watching TV. And I love the William Morris tablecloth framed and hanging near the William Morris drapes. And the gold leaf mirror is amazing! And love the knobs!!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thanks so much! I’m so glad you like these items, too! 😊

[@antiquesrestoration3874]

Yes to the picture in front of the tv. The framed fabric next to the curtains complement them so nicely.

[@jenswaringen7826]

I love that child’s chair! Adding the belt and drawer pull was brilliant!

[@kristigreen8994]

The red side table would stay where its at...makes for a good conversation piece

[@gary-rr7jp]

Sherry, nearly everything you touch turns to magic. Loved the red table with the fox hunting theme. I know it goes well with the rest of your fox hunting items. The bird and flower dishes you showed are Royal Copley and go for about 12 - 15$ apiece. When you showed the books, my eyes went straight toward the ones you purchased. I subscribed to your channel a while back after I finally made an account. Keep up the magic!👌👌

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you for the tip about the bird dishes. I didn’t know anything about them. That’s funny that you noticed the books right away, too. You obviously love old books, too!

[@MelanieFayJohnson]

Yes, leave the painting in front of the TV.....you have such great ideas....thanks for sharing...

[@CanterburyCottage]

You are so welcome!

[@sandystafford5845]

Love the red table. I tend to go my own way when it comes to decorating. I use what I like and what makes me feel comfortable and happy, which is most of the trends you mentioned today. You are so talented in upcycling the treasures you find. Thank you for sharing.

[@CanterburyCottage]

I totally agree, Sandy! I only follow trends out of curiosity. I feel like I can always find things that I like that are somewhat trendy, but like you, I buy what I like whether it is trending or not.

[@tamiz8895]

I say yes to the framed art in front of the tv 📺

[@beeline22]

Good afternoon, Sherry! I commented on the original video, but it disappeared after the sound went out. Anyway, I'm glad it's back up! Thank you for sharing the new 2024 decor trends on a budget! Im going to have this list on me when I thrift. I've mentioned this before, your home is so beautifully decorated. It feels welcoming and cozy. Yes, the lovely art should stay in front of the tv. Stay warm! ❤ Bobbie. xoxo

[@CanterburyCottage]

Good afternoon, Bobbie! Thank you! I had a technical issue today. Always so much fun! I deleted the first video as soon as I discovered that some of the audio was missing. I fixed it and uploaded the corrected one. However, for some reason there was a delay, and KZbin didn’t delete the first video right away. So weird.

[@user-ly8wp7nh5c]

Yes yes yes for leaning the print on the TV, it fits and looks perfect! The red table and the knobs are stunning as well as the butterfly mirror! ❤😍

[@CanterburyCottage]

Yay, thank you!

[@vbickel6109]

Absolutely brilliant putting the painting in front of the TV!!!

[@cyndybeller1306]

Yes to covering the tv! I found that idea inspiring and am going to look for a way to stage a picture in front of my tv! From the clock cabinet to the chair, so many yummy ideas!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you so much! Hope you find a perfect piece of art!

[@thechickincharge1073]

Oh my goodness! That butterfly mirror was magnificent and so well done! It was a statement piece by its own rites! I am going to follow what you’ve done today to spruce up my coffee room and my bedroom/craft room! So many fabulous ideas! I have to watch it again now!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you!

[@michaelsnider2484]

Except for the 'mixed metals' (no!) and 'earthy color pallete' (no!) , I have been doing all these for decades. Fortunately, I have NEVER cared about home styling trends. You selected lovely items and did a fabulous job upcycling as always, but people: fill your home with what you enjoy and love, and stop being consumer sheep!

[@CanterburyCottage]

I totally agree! I feel like you can always find things that are trendy that you like and would buy whether they are popular or not.

[@shellydehart8217]

I have to agree with you. I never in my life followed what was popular. Be it clothes, purses ,furniture whatever I like doing my own thing. ♥️😊👍

[@carolkokx9638]

Love the red table

[@avv2680]

Holy socks, I totally support your choices! Sorry, but as a child in the 70s and a teenager in the 80s, no earthy tones! And mixed metals, too easy to go tacky!

[@nancypeteja6560]

I think that people decorate with what they like...not what other people say is "trendy"! I am Eclectic. Country, shabby chic, Victorian, roses, lace, silver, sparkly crystal, tea cups, wood, milk glass, apples, angels, tins, and lots of knick knacks!!

[@vlrissolo]

Sherry over 20 years ago I did the exact same thing to a mirror that used to slide in the back of a dresser. It was actually plastic thank goodness because it was so heavy. I've been using that mirror hanging on my entry wall ever since because it is so gorgeous. Nobody would ever guess that it was plastic for one thing also a dresser mirror one of two I believe because it is long and tall and somewhat thin. I used to leave the gold leaf kind of chipped up and then I would use a watered-down brown acrylic paint as an antiquing finish

[@CanterburyCottage]

It is good to know that it works on plastic. What a great way to dress it up. I will have to try this on something in the future.

[@alicejump2290]

Framing the welcome hand embroidery with just the right color and embellishment was typical creativity for your aesthetic! I have been playing with idea of using gold leaf in my art work and am just blown away by the frame! Appreciate your sharing techniques with your viewers, thank you! Blessed peaceful and safe days!

[@CanterburyCottage]

You are so welcome! Yes, try the gold leaf. It was so easy, and I didn’t use real gold, so it wasn’t expensive. What type of art work do you do?

[@alicejump2290]

@@CanterburyCottage mostly acrylic painting on various surfaces, metals and traditional papers like watercolor! Recently completed a series of graphic drawings of women of the west! My current idea is to do a series of “Women of the Sea” (women pirates fascinate me) in styles like Art Nouveau with gold leaf!

[@jeanniecollier6763]

Love all the DIYs. Yes, the beautiful picture in front of the TV is petfect!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@spbrown04]

That red table looks smashing next to the chair with the leopard print seat and the fox hunt knobs are perfection. I.love.it.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thanks so much!

[@suZfe0211]

It's hard to choose a favourite find/project. Like the red end table, though❤ Working tip to goldleaf. Let the thin papersheet protect the leaf when placing it on the object and then rub it on, preferably with a soft cloth. Finish with a varnish to protect against oxidation and scratches. Gold leaf is so much fun.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thanks for the tips! I will remember these the next time I use it! I thought it would be difficult, but it was fun!

[@margarettallett762]

I can see why you had those drawer knobs!! They are perfect in your space! That William Morris "print" is perfect! Beauteous as always Sheri!!!

[@lesliemckinley9615]

Love the red table at the end. The knobs are amazing! Using the belt on the childs chair was brilliant.

[@kimphilpin1062]

Firstly you made my day using a clock.I think you may recall I love your crafts using clocks. The art work in front of the Television looks like it was made for the job. The framed table cloth goes wonderfully with the William Morris curtains, I’m a very much you can never have enough W.M. kind of girl. I must say I loved the butterfly mirror and what you did with it. All you did in this video was great. Thanks for the ideas.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you, Kim! I’m so glad you love clocks as much as I do!

[@deborahdavey1743]

Yes, I agree , leave the painting in front of the TV. I love the framed ‘Welcome’ needlework. The Pewter set is wonderful. Well found. It is amazing what you have done with a frame and fabric. I must keep my eye out for something suitable. Thank you.

[@Southeastgeorgiapeach]

Well, Sherry, you have done it again! Another informative and charming video. I so appreciate your narrative of each of the trendy things for 2024. Funny thing is, I was amazed at how many of the trends I already have in my home. Loved the fox hunting handles you put on the red table. Every time I see vintage handles in a thrift store, I pick them up because I know one day I will need them for something. Great video! And thanks for the tips of the City Beauty products.

[@CanterburyCottage]

I love the large picture leaning in front of your TV. The tablecloth picture is perfect next to your drapes, too. The gold leaf frame is stunning. The antiquing wax really shows off the beautiful details. The little red table might look good with antiquing wax, too. I love thrifting, but we don't have very good options in my town. You made some great finds.

[@DH-qz2so]

I love how every 10 years...My home is back on trend/in style again!...with the exception of the peach/red/pink accents...I think I have 8/10 of your trend list in my home!

I think the still life painting propped up against the TV looks lovely there under the clock. It's colorful and adds so much visual interest. Likewise, I think the framed cut tablecloth looks lovely near the William Morris drapes. I don't think it looks busy. I like the color it adds to that space. I'm impressed by everything you do. You, certainly, have an eye for design. It's a gift and talent that I hope to cultivate for myself by watching you. Thank you for the inspiration. ❤

Let me tell you I am one of those women who refused TV in my livin*room and have always hid it in special remote cabinets until……we bought the Frame TV with Matt finish…..I have EVER been happier….we purchased a go.d filigree frame that attaches magnetically and down loaded a huge amt of real art…..I LOVE IT….just know it is very $$$$

[@Erica.S19]

When you said "you'd keep collecting books & clocks," the song, I was Country... when Country Wasn't Cool started playing in my head! 😂 I truly love every the way you set up the grouping in the Alcove!! I really loved the floral art work beside your bedroom bookcases. The oil fruit pic was an amazing steal! When you brought out the vintage birds, I literally said outloud.... OF COURSE you did because it wouldn't be right you not using birds or butterflies!! The knobs are ABSOLUTELY totally YOU all the way!! I love them!! I love everything! The lunchbox turned out so pretty also!! Hope you have a super great week ahead!!

Yes! to leaning the lovely still life against the TV! TVs are ugly, and the still life is such an improvement when it's in place. I love the William Morris fabric print in your family room next to the William Morris curtains! It's not too much! 🙂 I loved this whole video, but the way you transformed the butterfly mirror with gold leaf and antiquing wax is amazing, and I think it's my favorite! And the red side table with the terrific hunt knobs is a treasure. Thanks for another super video!

[@cindybolling5855]

Definitely keep the picture in front of the TV. The tablecloth that you framed looks beautiful right where it is. My favorite makeover was you’re welcome sign that was needlepoint. I fell in love with that.

[@sylviajones4907]

Love the red!

[@susannautterback6815]

I have Blue Boy and Pink Girl hanging in my house! Purchased at the antique mall. My grandmother had these pictures in her home too. After she passed away not sure what happened to her set so when I saw these I was so excited to get them❤️

[@kerryclare3456]

My uncle painted 'Pink Girl' for my Grandmother in the 1970s. They are both long gone, so the painting (by numbers, with a little personal finesse) is a sweet memory .

[@CanterburyCottage]

They are classic! What a lovely reminder of your grandmother (who apparently had great taste)!

[@trinasyoutube]

I love the plaid wallpaper on your wall at the beginning. I used to have a lot of brass but I always felt bad when it wasn’t “polished” & got rid of it all.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you! The plaid wallpaper is actually padded fabric! It was here when we bought the house. I love tarnished brass because then you know it is the real thing.

[@craftyourwaytopeace]

Yes! That picture was made for that spot! I think it looks great! ❤

[@lynnpelletier4321]

I love the changes that are taking place in decor. Your little red table looks sooooo great next to the animal print chair and while it might be a little odd, the large art piece looks great over the TV. The winner from my view is the clock within the clock....the whimsy is perfect.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, thank you, Lynn! My husband said, “Why would you put a clock in a clock?” Because I can!😉

I simply love the needle point welcome sign. I have a needle point picture of some sunflowers in a vase and I have never liked the frame. You have freshened my thoughts on how to embellish the frame with rub on flowers. Thank you for all that you share here. You're amazing.

I bought the beautiful pink lamp and shade and a black vase from you! Can't wait to get them ❤

Oh, thank you! I hope you love them. I wanted to keep that pink lamp, but I honestly didn’t have a good spot for it. I’m so glad that you will enjoy it now!

The gold leaf on the butterfly mirror was so gorgeous. I love how you could see the wood grain through the gold! I think your red table would look more like your aesthetic if you used dark antiquing wax. I used a similar color on my kitchen island and then used walnut stain with a rag. Before antiquing mine, hubby was freaking out at the bright red. He LOVES the antiqued brick red we have now. I love your style, period. I think we are close in age, so I’m not terribly surprised. Great video!

And clever remake of the candle stand into a cloche covered specimen holder.😊

Oh my goodness. I love the red table next to the animal print cahir. I love the butterfly mirror. I like the pircture in front of the TV. You just have such great ideas.

Absolutely yes on the TV cover
