Trash to Treasure Junk Pile Finds

[@mollycottontail]

You are the only person I see in videos that takes off stickers and cleans pieces before you work on them. You are one above in your work. So glad to see you feeling better. Really missed you.

[@cassfonnesbeck8057]

It makes me cringe when I see creators paint over tags and labels!

[@sarahrenfrow9795]

This means so much to me, because those tags are a big pet peeve of mine!

[@11212lala]

I agree!!! Even some of the people I love to watch do not remove tags. It’s a tiny bit annoying to us ocd gals. 😮

[@hazel1960]

Or clean properly and don’t care about the back Listen nobody knows where the decor it going I call it slap dash!

[@mechelegill4651]

They are all beautiful but that first piece is gorgeous! Glad to see you back at it but please take it slow and easy. There is no one in this world like you. You are an original one of a kind. Love all that you do and am so grateful to you for sharing. Thank you for all you do.

[@adorablerepurposals6745]

That first one owns my heart!!! Love them all.

[@shanp8907]

One of the (many) things I love about your channel, is you don’t shy away from items that are “garbage” or “junk” and you turn them into something beautiful! Hope you’re feeling well! 😊

[@patchord2460]

So thankful you are on the mend. Your creations are wonderful. The first one is stunning. Now I will be looking for something I can use your ideas on. Thank you again for taking time to share. Take care of yourself. Your body has been through a rough time, take care. Hugs.❤️❤️❤️😎😎

[@loisshelton5182]

I lovvvvvvve all the pieces but the first one.... when I saw the beautiful imprint my jaw dropped. Beautiful!!!!!!

[@armelleaymonin8907]

Great to see you again, Yvonne, looking as pretty as always. This is a great video! Love the aged large pieces, railing , gorgeous shapes, all brought back to life with your magic patinas.

[@angiehale7639]

My favorites were the first one and the fence pickets. So amazingly beautiful! And you are looking beautiful also! So wonderful to see you in good health again! Prayers work!

[@patriciacushard702]

You have such a talent to take a piece of what someone would just throw in a burn barrel in a fireplace. How about a campfire and turn it into something absolutely gorgeous will simply be around for. 50 years another beautiful job as usual thank you

[@JeanneAlbarado]

Hi there! I loved them all!!! How amazing those signs turned out. Love love that blue color you mixed ! I think the first piece was my favorite!! Oh I loved the Piece you had to re paint , the finish is totally stunning🎉🎉 Don’t work too hard …rest well ❤ Jeanne Baton Rouge 29:20

[@annedewalle7984]

Love the porch posts. These pieces are flexible and multifunctional

[@beverlyzoch9042]

I enjoy your videos, especially when you transform architectural pieces. I also think you have the best music background. I often hear a score on your channel first then weeks later hear it on another channel. Talented artists all around. ❤️

[@ellaaltman2137]

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! All the projects totally my vibe. Grateful you are feeling better....sending healing thoughts!

[@renitabarrientos7950]

Oh yes most definitely I do, it's beautiful when ya can sew what vintage pieces can be ,lovely & usable, again 💛

[@kellymattson2102]

You are so talented. Great job

[@lonibilyeu6340]

Great projects today. When you wax the items maybe not waxing the entire surface then it wouldn’t flake as much. Love these projects.

[@jadestone8552]

That first piece turned out gorgeous. I love it. The other Pieces are very Pretty. Lots of ideas

[@carolyncruse3744]

I see a narrow entry side table with those 4 railing pieces you got for $2.00. All your work is beautiful. I'm glad to see you back. Be well and have a happy day.

[@debkincaid2891]

Hard to focus when I'm distracted by your glorious & gorgeous curls! 😍

[@nancypisar8854]

I always love everything you do and know your still in my prayers for a complete healing of your health

[@cathywilson5580]

I would add a tiny shelf to the porch railing and add a candle. Always see your creations that inspire me to do a little extra. Always a craft queen my Lady ❤️

[@barbarajenkins8050]

These all turned out great! That first piece is gorgeous. ❤

[@homethatilove4595]

understated elegant

[@DouglasDrake-o8e]

I would use the first 2 post pieces as garden art and the 3 railing pieces would look great on my garden fence.

[@sherrymcsherry2984]

You look amazing and your voice sounds stronger too. I think you’re on the mend. I hope you are feeling much, much better. I have to buy the color ocean in the spmp. What a beautiful color. I really liked the results when mixing more of the flour sack in with it. Your architectural salvaged pieces were beautiful.

[@debistone2795]

Just never know what the milk paint will do! Still turned out beautiful

[@deemanolaros6036]

I love ALL these pieces, especially the signs. Hope you are getting stronger each day.❤

[@pennybill4877]

Missed you. Love the blue salvage pieces best. Take care of yourself.

[@jeanhicks3670]

Liked all, pls take it easy!! Prayers for strength!

[@cathysmith387]

So glad you back but please take it easy for awhile you have been through alot. Everything gorgeous as usual really loving all the different colors you are using.

[@ginarhodes2855]

Love them all so much! I don't think I can pick a favorite? Really glad you did not paint the first one. It had so much character already. Wish I could come and buy them all from the booth!

[@donnamcl6134]

Happy you are feeling better and back to doing what you LOVE! All of today's pieces turned out amazing.

[@lindastowars7346]

YVONNE, HOPE YOU ARE FEELING BETTER EVERYDAY. GLAD YOU ARE BACK TO DIY ING

[@SparksofJoyStudio]

The salvaged porch pieces are incredible!!! I love that blue you created!

[@joycekonstantinow9700]

You really have a gift to see beyond the obvious. Beautiful!

[@francasimonetta3849]

Loved all the pieces you did My heart is so happy to see you back thank you for sharing don’t over do it listen to your body ❤😊

[@amandakizer4718]

I love that porch salvage just the way it is to begin with! I would be ecstatic to find something like that !

[@tristavickers5400]

All the chippy porch pieces were my favorite! Love love love!

[@gwencobb1452]

Great job .those raolings reminds me of a clock pendulum. Loved the first one

[@kellihull7600]

What beautiful “trash” ❤ that first board is absolutely my favorite, but doesn’t make the others not fabulous

[@Nancy-ii5yo]

Those old painted pieces are so neat! Before starting any work on them you really should be doing a test for lead. If there is lead you may want to seal it in and not do any sanding.

[@michellebisesi4498]

Those railing pieces are gorgeous.

[@PaperDiva67]

Happy to see you back! I love the railing pieces. I was thinking with some unique hooks the at they would make a great key rack!

[@kuttfam0191]

I think my favorite piece today was the first one! I love the way the engraved design popped with the hemp oil. I also think the blue you created was beautiful!

[@elainereynolds7701]

SUCH A GREAT COME BACK VIDEO... AWESOME..... PLEASE TAKE CARE. LOVE YOUR CHANNEL.

[@debgersh5555]

I follow many, you’re really a cut above…so many just make Dollar store diys, although fun, kinda junky. Only a handful make DS items beautiful and lasting. Glad you’re doing better, be well, looking forward to more of your creations ❤️

[@zellasmith2540]

I have a huge stash. Got some sweet pickens milk paint samples in the mail yesterday. I have been scared to try it, but watching you today has helped. The trick with the wax was interesting.

[@aprilmcmullen7024]

I am sooo gratefull to see my most favorite creator feeling better ❤... thank God for Chris telling you to go to the ER!! No one knows you better than you but needed the extra push,so good to see you back creating beautiful things ❤❤❤❤

[@katherineharper-sj4ys]

Yvonne, glad you are back. Loved all these pieces and the techniques you used to make them look so good. Don’t have a favorite but do like the green on the signs.

[@gailrhodes2859]

I loved every piece!!! Loved the fencing best if I have to choose 😂

[@pattynoel6205]

you bring out the good in things. Well done Grasshopper!

[@klouise2800]

The first piece was gorgeous. I would definitely put that above a doorway and the fence pieces would be awesome as the pieces of a garden bench or backing of a planter. Love the antique wax look. Glad you are feeling better :). I love the green and the distressed look of the signs.

[@newpjs6654]

No pile but need to get some stuff!!! What a talent you are! Thanks!

[@debbiegrounds9049]

Yvonne, Today’s pieces are all amazing. Love that blue. I love how you see the potential in pieces and transform them into beautiful home decor. So good to see you back and glad you are feeling better. 🥰

[@deborahtaylor-baker844]

They are all gorgeous but I love the fence picket signs the most.

[@Beth01111]

I’ve been praying for you. Please take care of you. If you have to cut back or change things up a bit, no worries. We aren’t going anywhere. Your health is your wealth. 💕💕💕

[@cathyhatfield5340]

I love them all that’s my kind of look great job and glad you’re feeling better❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@sallygreiner5724]

The first piece was my favorite. Such beautiful wood. I enjoyed watching all the ones you painted also.

[@marywoeppel1286]

Yvonne love the first salvaged wood trim, perfect💕. Please take care of yourself💕💕💕

[@sandrajoyner6474]

So very glad that you are getting stronger! Take your time to heal and please take care of yourself. Thankful that you have your hubby to pamper you when you need special pampering. Glad to see your face back on the internet!❤

[@robinjackson5035]

That first one is my favorite. Love it! 💕

[@debbied3116]

Enjoyed the video! So glad you are feeling better!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@debbiewroe5388]

I loved these projects. Very inspiring and doable. But can we also talk about that paper wreath. It is really pretty.

[@marciakessler1911]

In ❤ with the color and weathered look on those porch posts!!! Agree that sometimes just cleaning & wax brings out the beautiful grain of raw wood!💕from KS

[@Elizabeth-arb22]

I love all your finds and what you did with them. And I love it that you can see the beauty in "junk pile finds." Your work is amazing!

[@joburrow9863]

Hi there. So glad to see you back. I hope you are feeling so much better. Those pieces are exactly what I would find gorgeous. Good job. 5:14

[@ginacrusco234]

Yvonne, I'm so happy to see your energy returning! I love the first piece with the embossed florals on it!

[@hazel1960]

Really great video nice colours and styling the panels I would of made into coat hangers Nice how realistic and relaxing you are well done

[@hollyhuggins6793]

I just love you! You are so sweet, and I'm very glad that you are feeling better. God bless you!!

[@sueburleson9642]

Wow that first piece is beautiful!

[@Schnooks83]

I cannot imagine taking down a railing like that! I love everything that you do! I wish I did not live on the other side of the country

[@jennygouws413]

The 2nd last piece, i wonder if a stencil/ transfer and hooks for hanging would look good. They all came out beautifully.❤❤

[@rhondagarron7699]

Not many ppl can do what you do!! Great job loved those all but the last sign was very cool outcome. Tyfs

[@jerisharpe906]

They look like table legs to me, just missing a top.., I would think the widest flst would be the top. Great job as always. You clean your pieces & take all stickers off BECAUSE you care. I can't watch others as I'm finding that I have OCD.

[@margaretdillinger5090]

Talking trash to treasure? That first is absolutely beautiful and the rest are very nice pieces to hang in anyones house. The white chippy one has a wonderful look, too. The transformations are everything! 😊❤. I’m praying you are getting enough rest and are feeling much better daily. You were sorely missed.😊❤

[@shellydehart8217]

Oh how I wish I had a stash like all of those. You really can’t go wrong with milk paint. It’s great stuff. All the ones that you used the milk paint look great, like they’ve been hanging around for a lot of years. They’re so cool. But my favorite was the first piece you did. I feel in love with the details in the center n all that beautiful old weathered wood. It had my heart. Good to see you again. Hope you found some answers to why your body isn’t being nice to you. I missed you so much. Checked my phone everyday for a video. I’m so happy you’re on the mend. ♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍🌟

[@CindyZimmerman-j4k]

So glad you're back creating again. I hope you know how much you inspire your viewers with your down to earth directions and positive feedback! Take care friend>

[@tracyshumaker8272]

I’m so glad you are doing better. I ❤ these “saves”!

[@marycoffee7366]

It’s great having you back but don’t overdo it. We don’t want a relapse coming on😊

[@trinadorcheus1719]

Wow! They are wonderful! Glad you are back and please take care of yourself.

[@pennyhexter3475]

Lovely to see you feeling better

[@Katt560]

Just a little tip: put your water in the cup first, then add the milk paint. It keeps the powder from sticking in the bottom

[@fanniesprojectpalace2278]

Well I was originally going to say…. That first piece! Omgosh! It came out BEAUTIFULLY!!!! Ugh I can’t flget over the before to the after!! Just awesome! But then all the “ooohhhh’s & aaaaahhhh’s” and I just can’t NOT say anything about them too!! 🤣😂 It all came out amazing!! Love it all!! Take care of you! Rest! ♥️

[@lesliezagrobelny4820]

Love those pieces. The first one is my favourite.

[@cheriayala]

Oh my gosh Yvonne I loved all of the salvaged pieces. Thanks for sharing ❤

[@marleekosanke145]

Yvonne I love the pedestals! ❤😊❤

[@vickiulrich6694]

I liked them all. I was feeling less than hopeful about the avocado paint color but I was pleasantly surprised. It’ll all sell of that I’m certain. Chris scored some nice treasures out there saling on his own. I didn’t get to watch the previous vlog right away but I was shocked to hear your diagnosis knowing you were in the hair business. Hunny’s sister was also a cosmetologist and she had mono years ago as well. She fought so hard to heal but she’s had some health issues that caused her to retire early from her career. I’m thinking all those hours swinging hair is tough but you sound stronger. Stay focused on healing Yvonne for I miss our visits when you are away…obviously Tater missed you as well. He is a busy one for sure!!!:):):)

[@diggin-usa3863]

The signs that you use the candle wax & milk paint are amazing to me! Love them all.

[@terifawcett]

I’m so so glad you don’t “decoupage/put transfers” on all your projects 😊

[@cathyjackson5959]

loving that green color!!💚🪴

[@marilynlovett2327]

I love all these pieces . Love the old chippy look. I use the salvage pieces . Have a couple in my home now. We have a dumpster instead of trash pick up and we always find good stuff lol ❤

[@Thatsinteresting363]

The salvaged piece in blue chalk paint with the bulbous top would make a perfect hat stand for a floppy straw hat!

[@delmiller4184]

Great video Yvonne! Particularly loved the two round decor pieces. ❤

[@lisamayet6480]

Love the first piece you did! I can see it as an antique plate shelf!

[@cindystrout6212]

So glad to see you’re feeling better. I was praying for you. I love watching your shows. You’re so talented.

[@beulahmcgraw5213]

That first board is an Eastlake. Good save.

[@Freddybender123]

Those salvage pieces are every thing started my garden would look great in my garden vignette ❤

[@BrigetteFranklin]

Yvonne, Those flat curved wood pieces were the pickets in a Victorian porch railing

[@sarahrenfrow9795]

Yvonne, so good to see you’re doing better. Take care! Thanks for sharing

[@angela3063]

I loved every one of them...but I especially loved the old looking signs you made last

[@brendaclark2344]

I LOVE finding old salvage pieces. These all turned out great, but I'm not surprised.😊. I live in southern MI and need to make it up to your booth.

[@spudspuddy]

you do such a lovely job everytime
