Trash to Treasure Episode 16 ~ Ottoman Makeover ~ Tin Can Repurpose

[@brendajolley4808]

I have watched this before, but absolutely everytime I view your presentations, I see something different or more, or they give me additional ideas. In other words I am saying they are GREAT. Thank you.

[@michellecostley7878]

How nice to receive a Bernina from a viewer! The other day a man my husband knows found out I was struggling with my wood-burning projects because of my old Dremel. It would not get hot enough. Yesterday, the man gave me a fantastic wood burning set with many tips and temp control. Both of us are blessed.

[@n.w.414]

Michelle Costley wow! How generous!

[@leapintothewild]

And it had to bless him just as much!! How wonderful. And you'll think of his kindness every time you pick it up. Happy creating!

[@michellecostley7878]

@@leapintothewild I thanked him with a bag full of six inch wood rounds that my husband sliced from a downed tree in our yard.

[@MultiLisa10]

That was sweet!

[@leapintothewild]

@@michellecostley7878 Cool! Perfect size for coasters (of course, I'm a weirdo iced tea fanatic with a 32oz Yeti... ) Guess that'd be a bag full of trivets for normal people. hahaha

Your trash to treasure episodes are some of my favorites. (I think I say that about EVERY video) Your sister will probably want that ottoman back now, so warm and festive looking. I so enjoy the little glimpses of nature that you include in your videos. Whether it’s a favorite bird, a trickling waterfall, a thunderstorm or snow quietly floating down, I want you to know that we notice and it’s so refreshing in such a chaotic society to just pause. Your remakes are beautiful!

[@gwyn192]

Love a thunderstorm! As a youngster, in my neighborhood, all the kids would run and grab blankets at the first boom of thunder. Then we'd meet up on the designated front porch and huddle underneath the blankets and giggle as the storm raged. Thunder will forever bring me joy. Really enjoy your channel.

[@jennyclaymour2908]

Mary apart from your amazing skills and talent, what i love the most about your channel is YOU you are one of the most warm hearted,beautiful,kind,loving souls i have the pleasure of knowing (virtually) thankyou for being an earth angel

[@dianehlavka5482]

Good morning! You made re-upholstering the ottoman look so easy and all your other projects were fantastic as well. You are one of the few you-tubers that get a "like" (should be love) before the video even gets going!! Thanks for sharing your talents, love them all!

[@deniseowens4543]

Mary the sewing machine is such a wonderful gift to a wonderful person. You are so talented I feel like your a friend you are a Godly woman and you include the word of God everywhere in your home. I enjoy everything you do . Be safe Blessing to your family.

Mary, I love watching all your videos and seeing all your creative ideas that you share with all of us. Your calm demeanor and love for nature, animals and people make my day/week. Thank you for sharing and all you do!

[@joannade6042]

Mary, I'm a new subscriber and you are amazing! It is a pleasure to listen and watch your videos! I must say you soothe the soul in these troublesome times. You can't know what a joy you've made in my life. I'm a mother and grandmother with children who live away. Your videos help fill those lonely days and inspire me to try new projects. May God continue to bless you and your talents!

[@maggipetty7047]

Thunderstorms are a favorite of mine too. This old lady was expecting to hear "Riders on the Storm" by the Doors. My theme song for 2020. Love your videos. Always inspiring.

[@lisawalters5482]

You are a beast with your talents! I’m amazed again, and every week. You inspire me to be more confident, calm, and creative. I can’t thank you enough. Your trees and the landscape of fall colors was such a beautiful way to begin the video. I got my candle melts and I’m so in love. Now I’ll order each season and think of you each morning when I turn my pot on. God bless. 👏🏻💕👏🏻

[@jeanjones7486]

Great video Mary! Love seeing your talent shine through every time you pick a project to work on and have fun with. I get great inspiration to work on my projects that are just small pcs. of furniture and such. Love your ambition!👏👏🙏🙏🇺🇸🍁🍂🎄

Mary's trash to treasure are the best!!! I have watched others others lately just as fillers between Mary's but they are disappointing and I love Mary's the most!!! Thank you Mary!

[@lynsmith2698]

Oh my I just love the ottoman. I just painted the legs on a old foot stool and recovered the top….but only with a sheet cause I couldn’t decide on fabric. Then I saw this and ran upstairs and grabbed the Buffalo check fabric I bought years ago. I am going to make it removable so I can change it for the season. Thanks for the inspiration 🇨🇦🌷

[@deniseborchardt4491]

You are so creative and have a great eye and talent for repurposing items. The hardware on that clock is beautiful. Love the barnwood lid to the hamper and that ottoman is awesome in that fabric. The planter is cute too. You are such a pleasure to watch. You are so humble and have a beautiful soul!

[@sheryldougherty282]

I really liked the ottoman. I have a 5 month old kitten who starts following me around at 11:20 am . She gets a very small 1/2 can of wet good for lunch. If someone else is in the kitchen she will follow them until they give her lunch. She has even tried to get a double lunch. Sneaky Pete. I love your channel thank you.

I grew up with one of those hampers! It sat in my parents bedroom for all our laundry!!!! It was so nice to see it again!

I loved this video! It was awesome to see how you problem solved and came up with a way to add the legs to the ottoman. Everything turned out beautiful!!

[@restorebeautyfinds4180]

I did exactly the same thing with an ottoman I found at thrift store for $10ca and I reupholster it with a spring/summer fabric that I found also at the thrift store. You have given me an idea to create a cover for it for fall/winter. Thanks Mary for inspiring us every week.

[@jeanneann1374]

Hi Mary! I have done this metal distressing getting that shine off down and add some serious character ! I throw mine in the burn pile. Fast and easy. If it’s a thin metal to distress just keep an eye on it otherwise the heavier metals just let it burn and come back to some beautiful metal colors. I adore the natural colors this adds to the metal. .

[@smallfootprint2961]

[@theresagardner9340]

I love each of these projects. They all look beautiful. I think I would have used the little faux succulents for the planter, only because without drainage holes, I would be afraid of root rot for the plants.

My favorite I gotta say is the plants from the cat food cans. It's something that can go with everyday decor. I've seen a few of the hampers ( they remind me of growing up ) but never thought to change the top...great idea!!!
