Old Wood Projects ~ Barn Wood Home Decor ~ DIY Home Decorations ~ Old Wood Ideas

[@thisismemoocow]

The most inspiring part of this video is your relationship with John. A lot of couples can't do projects together, but he's so supportive of all your ideas. Imagine doing fun creative work beside your partner while the rain comes down... so lovely!!

[@arlenejones1391]

I think you should monogram your wood work❤

[@oreobenavidez953]

I totally agree my husband and I can't even be in the car together much less work together I really enjoy how Mary and John have a wonderful marriage that's a blessing right there

[@Earthy-Artist]

Was thinking the same thing. Sadly, this sort of idyllic scene would never happen with my husband....

[@Earthy-Artist]

@@arlenejones1391 Sounds like a good idea, perhaps a burned in stamp or something like that.

[@gracecornelius722]

I was thinking this too. I just love it! Plus I get bored it’s just the host on most shows. It’s fun to see family relationships ❤

[@pamkendrick1855]

Absolutely love all these old barn wood projects Mary! John does a fantastic job! Thanks for sharing!

[@debe5728]

Hi, Mary. I have no idea of the time involved in making these videos, but rest assured they are the gift that keeps on giving, as in continual enjoyment to your viewers! Thanks for these "making" segments. Whenever I see one of your videos that is longer than 20 minutes, my heart takes a leap of joy!! You have such good ideas--thank you for sharing your projects with us. 💕

[@kuehnel16]

I hate people that have everything

[@MarilynDean-i5b]

Mary, so,so love the display you and John worked on. It is so cute and proper for the content it will be holding. All the wood projects are so well thought out. I must add you have a very talented husband. Together you make a great team. Blessings on you both.

[@joannecooper4592]

Boards that are 12 inches wide with such history in them are absolute treasures. I'm so happy that you could use the old wood and spread the joy of holding generations in your hand.

[@Timothy-h1g]

Hey Mary , your video was great, my wife and I bought a truck load of old barn lumber from an Amish family. I paid 35$ , I made a lot of your ideas ❤️ I made over 40 different projects , sent them out to family before Xmas, that’s for your video

[@annettemurielle]

You know, Mary, one of the things I love about you is you don't waste anything. In this day and age, we need so much more of that in our lives. Thank you, for all the wonderful things you shared with us this week. :-)

[@jeffersonmorant]

That’s so thoughtful of you Murielle, Thanks for your positive review,How are you and how’s the weather over there?

[@brandynorth4023]

Fantastic work by all; love that it’s a family affair! Nice to see you stepping through fear and not allowing your past to dictate your future. Mary, you remind me of the Proverbs 31 wife ! ❤

[@agm97ga]

I have always loved thunderstorms, but in June a thunderstorm turned into a tornado and we lost our camper, and our camp house was damaged to the point that it had to be torn down. We were about to start building a house here, and it would have also been destroyed, so God was looking after us that we had not yet started to build. We were living between the camp house and the camper and are in another camper now full-time. We are cleaning it all up and preparing to build our new house. Thankfully no one was injured and insurance took care of us. All of that is to say that the thing I miss most of all is the beauty of thunderstorms. Now I have a bit of apprehension when a storm comes up as we were (safe, thank the Lord) in my parent's home next door during the storm. I hope that I can get past the fear again and see the beauty. Maybe once our house is built and we are no longer in a camper. 😅

[@deekeene4273]

Such great ideas from old wood, especially with the fruit fabric to make framed pictures! Talented you & John!👏

[@melodylincoln4053]

Mary, again, such AWESOME ideas. John and you just work so well together. Love, love, loved the canopy. Wherever you will be, I will be praying 🙏 for a beautiful and prosperous day. Blessing

[@user-gb6hz9ud8j]

You and John are definitely “Heaven sent” to all of us! God Bless you both 🙏🏻

[@janeevans4758]

I remember that awful disaster well Mary,I was so sad for you and the other makers who's booths were just ruined 😢. However I'm so glad you've had a change of heart and decided to set up a market stall stand,how wonderful it looks and your new items are just fabulous! You and John are just so in tune where creating is concerned, simply wonderful ❤. I'm sure everything will go splendid this time and even more positive that you will return home with a empty vehicle! Who could resist your spectacular makes,I know I definitely wouldn't be able to. Really pleased for you Mary.

[@jeffersonmorant]

That’s so thoughtful of you Jane, Thanks for your positive review,How are you and how’s the weather over there?

[@pamdennis1007]

Love the covered stand. The cloth was perfect for it. Rustic wood is what I love. Holes and all.

[@corazon-be5bx]

I love the trays, the cookbookholder, the riser.....I think I love everything ❤

[@kathydoyle-xm3xg]

Mary, you're truly an inspiration! I'd like to share with you a story about a dear friend of mine. Linda loved antiques and rented a booth at our local antique store to sell her treasures. She spent many hours searching for just the right items. In 2017 a tornado swept through our little town and one of the buildings it destroyed was the antique store. I salvaged what I could find for her. The following year she was diagnosed with cancer. So you see she never got the chance to go back to doing the things she loved. I know the storm you went through has left you leary to try again but I do hope you can find it in you to do just that. You obviously put your heart and souls into all of your projects and I believe you'd love to share that at the outdoor shows again. I'm not sure where you are but I'd be front and center to see it all in person. Storms come and go and we rebuild, plant new trees and begin again. Let's do what we can while we still can. Thank you so much for sharing your many talents. Blessings to you and your family! 😊

[@Francine-ph7xy]

“Everything is so cute!!! Such great idea’s! I am about to sand a very old Androndack chair that a friend was going to throw away and I’m going to bring it back to life! Old wood too! I plan on dyeing the webbing cord that has faded too! I’m looking forward to start working on it! You have inspired my many times and I still am! 67 years old and still keeping busy!

[@marlenereimchen9141]

Everything you do is so well done and so professional looking.

[@janelandry6584]

My husband is a designer for a truss manufacturer so I recognized those plates immediately. I am always amazed at how well they work because they seem so lightweight.

[@lynnjohnson1413]

❤ wow, that barn wood is gorgeous! Love the trays and fabric and wood picture frames so pretty and farmhouse style. Love to see Ethan helping his mom, just like your husband, you are truly so blessed in so many ways including a beautiful home from your parents and having loving family members around you.

[@peterwhite9261]

Mary, I remember that storm. I was so sad for you all. I can't believe it is 4 years already. Those are beautiful creations. ❤

[@robertbaker9775]

It's always an extra treat to see you and John working together! I could watch these videos all day every day and never tire of them!

[@Freddybender123]

You guys do amazing things!

[@anitajuniewicz2192]

I love everything you made. It's so nice to see old wood having a new purpose. Thank you for not staining the vintage fruit prints to make them look old. The combination of the crisp, clean print in the old wood is just perfect.

[@pamahlvers4790]

Great use of the wood. Love that your family works together for your livelihood.

[@cattuslavandula]

The cookbook stand is so cute! Natural finish is good, but they could be whitewashed or painted as well.

[@vickinoeske1154]

Yes, I remember the storm and the booth destruction. I do not blame you for being reluctant to doing another show. I love old barn wood - so much lovely character.❤❤❤

[@deedeed6853]

My goodness Mary, you are SOOOoooo talented! May The Lord our God Bless you REAL GOOD!!!!!! You & John are a dear couple.

[@ginacrusco234]

I adore all your barnwood projects, and I'm thrilled that you may be getting back in the saddle to do a crafts fair!

[@jeffersonmorant]

That’s so thoughtful of you Gina, Thanks for your positive review,How are you and how’s the weather over there?

[@CJG1419]

Love how everything turned out, especially the pictures and pillows with the fruit.

[@treasureseeker8489]

I REMEMBER WHEN YOUR BEAUTIFUL ITEMS WERE DESTROYED BY THAT STORM!!!! My heart ached for you!!!! You are such a VERY SPECIAL PERSON!! I THOROUGHLY ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS!!!!!!!!!

[@mouriefeeney1903]

Mary, did I miss the new furniture video for your family room? Great projects! I loved each one ~ what a talented family who knows how to enjoy life! Thanks. 💕💕

[@heather87135]

The talent and gifting you all have! Just beautiful Mary!💖

[@debrazawlocki3975]

❤ the barn wood! I have a few precious pieces of barn wood left from days gone by... you've inspired me to create something special!!!

[@zullo3529]

I love all of these projects. Old wood is beautiful. Barn wood or fence boards. Especially if the have holes etc. Great ideas. Thanks Mary

[@gailgriggs8914]

You and John have the skills to build/make whatever you can dream up. I love seeing all the things you create.

[@carolwarmoth8744]

Love, love,love your little Booth. The combination of natural wood and painted wood is lovely. The canopy is perfect 🥰

[@kajlove1]

I went to help a friend with a yard sale today and I was telling them about that storm that wiped you out! It was so heartbreaking. I can’t believe it’s been 4 year ago already. I believe that storm was God’s hand that lead you to new things - the cottages! I’m excited for your next step in your journey! I love the old wood pieces!

[@nanharrison2997]

What beautiful things made from old wood. I love all of them but my favorite was the display stand. It’s so great to see husband and wife work together ♥️♥️

[@julieberg8820]

I love how you show us the importance of your safety shoes right in the beginning! 🥰🥰🥰

[@shaunwalker6651]

Hi, Mary time is just going by I remember the storm, I love watching your videos I enjoy watching John and you doing projects together you are always thinking out of the box. I love watching Twinkle by your side. I love all the projects that your husband and you made out of wood. I can't wait for your fall and winter project, take care until next week. Your KZbin friend SHAUN 😊

[@lorrem2539]

I just love that silly Pebbles! meow to her. Love all the crafts you made. looking closer, maybe that was Twinkle? whichever, love when older cats play like kittens 😻

[@maryhelenhayes6859]

Perfect all around

[@debbiegreen2414]

I love the character of old wood. To me it’s beautifully imperfect.

[@bethgronli2394]

I smiled my way through the video. Such a beautiful marriage relationship and product. Truly inspirational! My brother, sister and I were recently blessed to spend 2 nights at “Apple Blossom”. What a gift that time was!

[@Marie-D.]

Mary, I cannot believe that was 4 yrs a go already!!! My goodness time does fly. That sure was an unfortunate event, but, as you said, thank God no one was really hurt. Glad you are venturing to try to do it again. Good for you. Keep the faith, go forward. Love your videos. God bless.

[@tcan4959]

I remember how terrifying that was. Can’t believe that was 4 years ago. Life flies by. These are such great projects. Thanks for sharing

[@janiceforkum3889]

Love all the projects with the barn wood!!!💖 I've said it a million times... but you guys can do absolutely anything!!! You look so tiny beside John and your boys! It's so cute!!!💖💖

[@eileenpopiel1326]

Great ideas-you always do things the right way and it’s appreciated. I hope you do a show because that’s where I buy my unique pieces for my house.

[@katherinestobbe5556]

To see your family work together like this is an amazingly beautiful precious sight to see these days! Incredible family ❤!

[@maryowens9179]

Beautiful diys Mary. What a great idea to repurpose wood. You and your husband did a wonderful job. Thank you for sharing these with us. ❤

[@lindawaguespack6735]

Love everything made with old wood. The pictures would be nice with the clothe vintage fruits coffee/tea stained to look older. These are great projects. Love your channel.❤️

[@sylvialangworthy1435]

Amazing barn wood products! And the fabric items are super cute! I love how your stand turned out; the fabric choice was spot on!! How fun for you and your husband to create such beautiful items between the two of you! Thank you for your fun videos!!

[@lookingback5889]

I love watching you guys work together. Great projects!!!

[@ursulap23]

Absolutely love your videos where you makes all your beautiful wood projects. I could watch this all day long

[@phyllisanngodfrey6137]

Waste not, want not……words to live by for sure…..one man’s trash is another man’s treasure……so much wisdom in these old idioms ❤️

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

Oh my goodness! What fantastic items you and John have made!! Everything is just perfect. The display booth is beautiful and fits your style!! Hod bless you and your family.

[@LaurieEggleston37]

Those nail plates are genius! Thank you for showing them in use! Your new display "house" is adorable! Love it!

[@paulahawes8694]

I do remember the day this happened. It was devastating for you and the other vendors. I hope if you jump back in you will have peace about it. I love the rustic charm of the pieces you and the family are making today. I adore the shabby sheik style too. God bless and happy crafting.

[@lorettagreen5502]

I love your projects. You are so inspirational Mary. If I wasnt 89 years old I woud be out in my shop creating some of your ideas! ❤

[@Happybidr]

I hope you do events again as I would love to see your booth and have others see your talent. Listen, you went through a traumatic event and don’t underestimate or apologize for its impact on you. Of course it’s been difficult to get over but be encouraged that you are taking healthy, mini steps.

[@margueritepeaden3445]

Loved all the things you made and your little booth. I miss the summer rains from when I was young. It would be just a quick shower with no high winds, thunder, or lightening. We could play or walk in it without worry of getting blown away or zapped by lightening. It’s a rare thing when we get one like that anymore.

[@janecarrico5297]

Another inspiring video! And I love the fact that you even took time to share the sound of the wonderful summer rain!!

[@jennifernovak4506]

All of your creations are beautiful Mary! I love that you share with us the gift of creativity that the Lord blessed you and your family with. The skill and determination you all have developed with this blessing is truly wonderful to watch! God bless you all! ❤

[@tammywellsgarcia2377]

Aprons would be adorable in that material 🍎🍎🍊🍋

[@maryjomathews4749]

The cookbook holder is my favorite.

[@buckeyejen1076]

Everything that you, John, and your son created here is just lovely. Being that I live near Holmes County, (I’m in Carroll County) I can’t wait to hear which local festival you will be selling at. Have a blessed day. ❤

[@lindatefft9879]

Watching the Two of you work together is so special.The time and talent the both of you have is inspiring! Love your videos.

[@DonnaF1556]

Mary, you are so blessed by having John produce your vision. You are both SOOO talented and I love watching how you make things. Thank you. Donna xoxo

[@jodiemeschke6889]

Love all of your projects in this video. I love the old wood too - so much character. Thank you for sharing.

[@brinnda70]

The crickets and frogs sound beautiful in your voice over. I sure don’t want summer to end.

[@marilynlovett2327]

All these look amazing I love the character flaws of old barn wood too. You two are very talented for sure.❤

[@janzitterkopf1630]

Once again, terrific projects! Thank you!❤

[@georgiasmith9477]

I could watch you work with wood all day long! My favorite project was the cotton fruit fabric with the barn wood frame. They are adorable!!

[@beccapeachey4830]

My favorite part of the video was seeing your face light up at the booths being built. A true creator and crafters reaction and I can understand that feeling! Loved the video!

[@mamunplanned389]

Ah Mary all of your creations are so lovely. I agree with you in that the rough wood with all the imperfections is so much nicer than something perfect. I loved seeing your cat happily sitting on the fabric you were cutting. Oh that storm really must have been so upsetting for you, I’m pleased you’re ready to attend another fayre xx

[@debbiestott3651]

Didn't have time to watch the whole video but all the made items look so nice Mary. Loving the display shelf and canopy.

[@beverlylones9552]

You and John are such a great couple! Love all your ideas and products! Absolutely love the gorgeous, little house that you and John made! So beautiful!!🧡🧡

[@ReinventedDelaware]

So many great projects Mary! I love the days I can spend in my workshop too. It's my happy place!

[@anniehamilton1709]

Beautiful upcycles. Love the little canopied shelf/cart. Hope your fair experience goes well this year. TFS

[@kelliwebb2870]

Every single one of the projects turned out awesome! Good job Mary and John! Good luck at the market or whatever it is! Hopefully sunny skies will bless you!

[@bjsimmons58]

I love the trays!! I love old barn wood projects!

[@sunflowerbrown5823]

Mary I was here on your channel when your booth was destroyed that day. I wanted to cry for you because I have sold at fairs and I could only imagine how heartbroken you were after all the prep and excitement of setting up for sales only to see it all in ruins. I'm so happy to hear you have healed from that event and are about to try again. Mary give it a shot! 🌻

[@karenmartin3035]

Great wood projects! Thank you taking time to share the peaceful rain shower with us, love to hear the rain like that!

[@lorettavalmorbida7793]

Great great video Mary, always like to watch you and John. Blessings on you both and your two children.

[@ninjanana102]

I don't know why but I was smiling through this entire video. I love everything especially the tray and the framed fabric! Awesome job.

[@hettiekenny5185]

Love the music you used today, Mary. As usual, your talents inspire us all. Thank you!

[@wilmaheger7276]

That looks so beautiful!! Maybe if you have that fruit fabric left, sell it as just a square in your booth.
