I love that you actually pick up trash and turn it into treasure. Most trash to treasures come from the thrift store. Thrift store funds is not trash. Love what you do! Keep them coming.

[@NCGirl-fs2ww]

It just amazes me what you can do with other people's trash. Keep up the great work

[@JanetCaterina]

Besides being a skilled furniture refinisher, you are also a talented stylist

[@lianapalumbo8457]

That rocking chair is just amazing and I'm so relieved you saved it 🤗💖💖

[@lindakQOV]

That little table is an old typewriter stand! Good to see you upcycling one of my memories.☺

[@andreal.8628]

that's what I taught when I saw it!

[@gmamah9559]

My preacher grandpa used one for his old Remington typewriter and I can still hear that familiar sound of him typing his sermons and placing his pencil on that table.

[@christinal.9309]

@@gmamah9559 What a sweet memory.

[@sheilabennett1842]

I found one years ago and painted it and used it for sewing ...it was very sturdy !

[@charlotted6247]

Very well done!!! Theres so many things to be said about how creative and inspiring you are. I admire the creativity and appreciate every time you rescue another good item from the dump. It's such a responsible thing to teach people to stop and look around and repurpose things. I haven't ever liked "cookie cutter" living--everyone has everything just alike. It's great to be an original!! CONGRATULATIONS on those numbers going higher and higher!!!

[@marygore131]

The cart looks like an old typewriter table....good job...

[@jemmaj2919]

Love the chair!! The fabric is beautiful

[@ruthtyler1722]

Love how the rocker turned out. But then I love all your stuff.

[@dsteele501]

I have my grandmother’s typewriter table, and another one I picked up from Goodwill. I’ve been using the Goodwill table as a small project table to paint, glue and whatnot. My grandmother’s was still in mint condition, but I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with it. You given me some good inspirational ideas! 💡 💡 💡Thanks!

[@kellylutey7506]

I love the dump! Out of all my friends and acquaintances I am the only one that would go to the dump like you do to find trash to turn into treasures. And there aren’t too many women that will hook up a trailer by themselves and head out let alone use any kind of tools! Well done you!

[@salvagedbykscott]

So glad you saved that rocker! What a perfect boho piece. I’m absolutely in love with the window frame as well.

[@mamabaher8683]

I wish i could go dump diving. I love that rocker💖 TFS your always AMAZING💖💖

Wow Awesome chair makeover

[@kxsess91]

You rocked that rocking chair. I really like your catcus cutout with it. It's very South Western style. Thank you for sharing. Kim 💓

[@janicebradford9780]

I love the rocker. You just reminded me I have a bunch of the hand woven blankets from a trip in 1997. Now I’m going to bring them out of the attic and upholster something. Keep your treasure videos coming. Love them.

[@barbarahamilton7851]

That turned out so precious ! You have an eye for repurposing other people trash. One man trash another man’s treasure!!! Love your channel

[@tinap3944]

Love the rocker! If I ever am so lucky to find one I would the same thing. It would totally fit into my home decor

[@SewingwithSessi]

Love that Fabric and the table looks so COOL

[@dlb537]

I absolutely love the chair. You have inspired me to do a trash to treasure garden. Going to work on my creations over the winter months then I will post a pic for you

[@ozunaspainting9329]

Hi from a fellow Canadian (Manitoba). I'm glad I found your channel. You're inspiring with your visions for all the pieces.

[@teriweiss]

My grandmother and mother used that type of table for a typewriter. It's fun to see a memory like that! I just love all your finds! Thank you for sharing!

[@BetteAvila]

I love that rocker! Reminds me so much of my grandma. I spent a lot of time before naps rocking in that at her house. 🥰

[@kristinsiebert4504]

You are so lucky that your husband enjoys this journey with you. As great as my husband is he cringes when I say, “ I have to show you something I saw on either you tube or Pinterest.” 🤣 most of the time he’s a good sport. Kudos to your hubby for being so supportive of your dream!!!

[@trinelangohr6661]

My husband is worse... whenever he sees something he likes in the street trash, he tells me "There's a great heap of street trash outside, I know you like street trash!" - and then he's disappointed when I don't come home with the exact item he had his eyes on BUT DIDN'T MENTION because he doesn't want to seem like the kind of person who adopts furniture from the street trash. And they say women don't know how to communicate. Haha.

[@kristinsiebert4504]

Man I wish my husband loved the street trash. He calls it junk, I know it’s sad 😔 lucky you!

[@melschmid8353]

Yes I'm really jealous..

[@marytramp5678]

my hubby can I be a good sport sometimes. depends on how many other "projects" I have going at the time! usually he says something like, "what are you going do do with that?" or " do you REALLY need that right now?" but if I can tell him what it's for he will help me get it. or shake his head mumbling, "i don't see it, but ok.." He told me along time ago that he has stopped underestimating the power of my imagination. That if I can see something in something than it's there, I just have to make it so.

[@missideutsch6189]

[@kathryntrapman3917]

Ok, another one knocked out of the park. Love the dump finds and the old type writer table makeover was a favorite on this video. What would I love most to find at the dump, welllll a beautiful hand carved wooden box that catches my eye and when I open it I find valuable old coins that are worth thousands.🤑

[@lorrainesmith4074]

Love how he folding table turned out and also the he chair, great inspiration 👍

[@collettecaraway2759]

Great! I found a steel desk like that at our complex trash bin. I love it.

[@katebona497]

Love that you repurpose items from in the dump and the old saying is one person's junk is another's treasure

[@Marygold25]

That is an old typing table you picked up. The typewriter would go in the middle and the sides would come up to to hold whatever you were copying. I had one in school a very long time ago! Cute find!

[@ElysiaEnglish]

Thanks for the info Marygold25!!

[@maryketels5191]

I have a typewriter table in our guest bedroom. I love the idea of adding a wooden shelf below for books!

[@janicemantanona9614]

Super awesome! I love the fabric on the rocking chair. I really like the addition of the wood on the metal stand which gave it a lot more style. You go girl!

[@lindawhitaker4314]

This was another good one! I really like the chair. I had never thought about using the blanket to cover the chair. That was two saves at once.

[@lisapieper3598]

Girl you are amazing!!!

[@myguys143]

I love your creativity 💕 The chair reminds me of my grandma she had one. It’s one of my favorite memories of her sitting and rocking just relaxing for hours. I’m not sure what would be my ultimate find but just finding a treasure piece and turning it into something amazingly beautiful. 😊

[@nowvoyagerNE]

i'm new and have been binge watching and binge commenting. i have a suggestion...well it's more of a personal preference on my part. i watch a lot of how-to, DIY, and furniture make over / re-purposing videos, and one error i see people make is labeling their crafts and projects "cute, pretty, beautiful, amazing, fantastic, incredible, brilliant, great"...you get the picture. my philosophy is this: let the your skills, your artistry, and the project finished products speak for themselves. let us the viewer brag on you, and congratulate you, and praise you, and do the same for your finished projects. your energy, enthusiasm, know how, and craftsmanship speak volumes for you ... now let *US* do the rest. :-)

[@whiskey0069]

Cool find on the Bentwood rocker,love it. That's an old typewriter table. Love you videos Elysia

[@nancypeteja6560]

I like the rocking chair, but I would use different foam to use inside the chair cover. The little metal table is awesome find. Amazing what people throw away. I like to roadside garbage pick. I really would love to do what you do, but on a more simpler scale. Thank you for the inspiration. TFS.😊 😉 👍 💖 🌞

[@maureencampbell1057]

Nancy Peteja yes! Can’t believe the old gross foam was reused!!

[@shannonmellon4294]

That rocking chair...BEAUTIFUL!!! I’d die if I came across stain glass at the dump. It’s so hard to find at a reasonable price.

[@Christie-gp2cy]

Elysia, I wish you would do more trash to treasure videos like this one! Your other videos are great, but the trash to treasures are my absolute favorite. You are truly artistic and creative. Thanks for sharing with us.😊😊

[@robynw6307]

I'd LOVE to find an old treadle sewing machine cabinet. But they are popular and no-one ever throws them away.

[@leannelibby1827]

Love these videos! Thanks for the inspiration on how to transform and find beauty in things we can thrift or already own, would have never thought to use a blanket to reupholster a chair.😃

[@julesiou12]

Oh Elysia I love the chair! Beautiful, and what you've done with the little table is a great idea. I love the wood/metal combo. My dream find would be a 1970's Peacock chair, but if I found a bentwood rocker I'd be just as excited. Thank you so much for sharing your creations. So inspiring and it's so great to be a part of this growing creative KZbin family. Have a great weekend and happy treasure hunting x

[@friedaschnell6887]

My jaw just hit the floor when I saw that bentwood rocker. I'm so glad you rescued it. I agree about fabric from the dump although some thrifted, garage sale or free treasures at the curb that have fabric can be really gross too. If I were at the dump I think I'd figure out a way to strip the fabric and leave it there. Here in TX we have big garbage days. We've found some awesome things at the curb just driving through neighborhoods to take home and make treasures out of them again.

[@thegreatescapefarms6805]

I was thinking the same thing about leaving the fabric there rather than taking it off at home. It's crazy to me that someone would trash that chair in the first place, why not donate or even list for free? I am glad it was rescued and given a new life.

[@ams01988]

I saw one at goodwill and they wanted 60 for it and the one elysia found at the dump was in better shape. I passed on the chair. I wanted it so bad. Im on the hunt now.

[@kirstens7352]

I have the exact same rocking chair. When my boys were babies (now 29 & 34) I would sing and rock them to sleep in that chair. Years later I painted and reupholstered it. Now I think it’s time to make it fresh again. So many memories. Thanks for bringing new life into this one.

[@melissaphillips5162]

You are a blessing to watch ma'am. Love the blanket on that rocker. You're always spot on with the redo or redon't directions you take with each of the treasures. Keep up the great work
