I do!!

I do too!

[@greenthumbelina7331]

Yes, me too, always!

[@Musicjammer2736]

Yep. I hit LIKE before watching all my subscription videos. I So want Mary's channel to grow and grow. Soothing voice and music, always creative and wholesome subjects, - makes me smile, no matter the content!

[@doggiemama7192]

I do!!

[@marymack4105]

I always smile when I see those cat paw socks.

[@TheLatinaNextDoor]

It’s always a pleasure to watch you remake thrifted pieces and I love seeing the countryside where you live. It’s just so lovely. Merry Christmas Mary!

[@robertadunn1572]

Hi I am a subscriber to your channel also! Love all of your work as well.

[@anndaily9872]

I bet my husband that the trip home we would not be seeing that little spot a bird left for us on Mary’s windshield. I won that bet. Mary, you are treasure yourself. Merry Christmas

[@TheLatinaNextDoor]

@@robertadunn1572 thank you so much! 🥰

[@MissMolly3377]

[@CatsAreCutiess]

I miss watching your new projects after selling your last home. Ill catch up soon.

[@sarahmichaels2117]

Jesus is the reason for the season! Merry Christmas!!❄🎄🕯

[@janiebirdthorn]

On chrome a trick my hubby uses to get rid of any rust spots is to use waded up aluminum foil (if it’s a lot of rust) and then some fine steel wool. It really does work wonders, then you can shine it up with chrome polish. :) We have two of those little carts, but the tops on ours aren’t trays. I love them so much and I really love the green color of yours. Ours are cream and black. :)

[@MariaJimenez-hs4yk]

Me cuz I ❤ her videos and shop. Very creative and her voice is soothing to me. Learn something all the time ❤❤❤❤

[@sallygreiner5724]

I loved seeing you pick out things at the thrift store and then immediately seeing what you do with them. Thank you.

[@kylie8676]

So great. I love the way that you give old things new life and purpose. And all in one day! They are all fantastic. You get so much done in your days! Love your videos. Well done. 🥰

[@dinahjackson8146]

I've always LOOOVED ORIGINAL WOOD FURNITURE... USUALLY CRIIING WHEN I SEE SOMEONE PAINT IT... 😁 But, your painting it has made it ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL !!! 😍😍😍

[@maryferraro6745]

You are THE neatest painter- wearing black t-shirt!! Always get good ideas from your makeovers.

[@bettyhughes9258]

Children playing is always a happy site. Love how you look at things differently. Really like your socks.

[@karawilson315]

A piece of wooden dowel to replace the missing towel bar on the bar cart might be really cute and add back the structure to that part of the cart. Love all your videos!

[@mariancarter4255]

Love the “plant” table and the chair! It’s good to see that you aren’t afraid to paint (and improve) wood that has lost its luster or is outdated 👍

[@nclewis2195]

I don't know what I'm most impressed by, Mary, your makeovers or how you do them and not get paint all over your clothes 😉. Love your finds in this video, especially that cart ❤. Merry Christmas and many blessings to you and your family.

[@salemgraves1692]

I always think this!! 😂😂

[@hollynelson543]

Or her furniture and flooring.

[@rosehavenfarm2969]

My late mother had a metal cart similar to the one you bought. I took it home after we closed up our parent's home after their passing. I use the cart in my pantry. Thanks for stoking my memory of her.

[@conniefeltman4561]

You get Five Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review! EXCELLENT! Your cups with candles are so sweet! 👏👏👏

[@pamfaircloth5284]

Wow! Quick flips! Very industrious getting them all bought and flipped in one day! They look wonderful! I especially love that fabric you used on the chair!!

[@carmenmontmarquet2066]

Loved everything you did! Maybe keep the rolling cart and use it in your plant corner or maybe on your deck this summer holding plants. The tray would come in handy moving items like snacks or lunch from the house to the porch. Want to wish you a wonderful Christmas with your family!

[@vbee3571]

Oooo-that’s a great idea!!

[@colomtns745]

Ohhhh....that coffee cart!! My grandmother had one just like it♥️♥️...thank you for rescuing it!!

[@kajlove1]

Your work ethic alone deserves a 👍🏾. My favorite is the green cart.

[@SAVEDBYTHEBLOOD75]

I love the way the chair turned out.

[@annettemurielle]

I love when you take us thrifting! I love the drive, you live in such a pretty area and it's such a lovely road, and I love the filled to the rafters thrift stores you visit. I love watching you picking out what you want and then turning them into lovely useful items. Mary, everything you do is an inspiration to me. Thank you!

[@violethoffermobilehomemove9189]

Love the blackboard wall & the message in it, behind you!

[@teresamc521]

To me the cart looks like it's from maybe the mid 50's to very early 60's. Love your finished products.

[@laurieanne9712]

Someone has probably already said this, but those top holes, I do believe are to adjust the shelf if you want it right to the top. Loved all this!

[@joanotto9984]

Nope. It had a towel bar on it, I have one just like it.

[@dorothylehman4164]

Mary I love that little table is just as cute as it can be it looks really springy and fresh country looking Croc walls with some Greenery in it be really gorgeous to in a corner he did such a good job I don't think there's anything you can't do whatever you put your mind to your turns out really beautiful God has truly given you a gift I have those gifts also

[@janemillen5114]

In all this chaos we are all living through you are very therapeutic to watch 💕🌺💕xxx

[@kentishbunyip6081]

Love all the makeovers and my favourite was the little round plant stand. I especially love the cat's paw socks you were wearing!

[@lorraineophoff4984]

Such pretty paper for the top of your plant table! Nice use of green rolling cart! Pretty candles, and beautiful chair upholstery job! Great work!

[@what1dreamt]

That metal cart is so cool and versatile. Love it and the color.

[@kyrad6543]

That cart is AH-mazing! That green is my favorite too!

[@carolyn8716]

Oooh what a great video Mary! I love how you upcycled your thrift store finds in one day! That is something I need to learn to do for the new year, not to leave projects sitting in my craft studio. Merry Christmas 🎄 to you and yours and to everyone here! We are blessed to have the time to watch these wonderful videos Mary and White Cottage Co. put out. 🥰❤️

[@HomeFrugalicious]

Carolyn, I hear you ! I wish I was as organized as Mary! ;) Merry Christmas! 🎅 🎄

[@LaLadybug2011]

Me too Carolyn! I have the same problem. Mary is definitely my inspiration-she is just amazing to me. Merry Christmas🎄

[@tinastout3424]

Merry Christmas Mary!!! Have a beautiful season celebrating our Lord and Savior with your family and friends!!! ❤

[@TRoxanne55]

My Grandmother had a rolling cart very similar in her kitchen by a window that she used for plants. Love your makeovers.

[@janonthemtn]

One of the nicest thrift stores I've ever seen.

[@carriehorn261]

I'm pretty sure you could do really well with any materials. So much talent. Love your projects!

[@susanwilson5101]

Love the chair ! But that old cart is such an awesome find.

[@jackiegenandt6661]

I’m so happy you got the cart!!! When I saw it in the video I was like “yes”!!!

[@erikas974]

Mary love all the project. Q: When you recover the seat of the chair shouldn't you remove the old fabric? Who knows what is lurking in it. It may came through the new fabric? Love the cart first, you can always use it outside as a plant stand. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and thank you for all your hard work. 😇🤩🎄🎄🎄🐨🐨🐨

[@vickyb9918]

I would have removed or at least steam cleaned it. The original seat looked pretty gross.

[@erikas974]

@@vickyb9918 me too but than again I am a cleaning freak🙂

[@sandratownley3252]

I must admit that i was astonished you didn't remove that tatty, dirty fabric before recovering. Especially as you will be reselling it. Loved the table

[@michelleh.6363]

I will say driving in our Ohio countryside never gets old!! I live in Preble…Your video does make me want to redo my small kitchen table and find either new thrifted chairs or redo the three I have…Tfs, always inspiring how to give old new life!!!

[@tinafehr8394]

Mary I’d use that cart outside on the patio. It’s so beautiful and functional.

[@bearg-ma9168]

Love to see the shopping trip videos. You live in such a beautiful part of the country. Absolutely charming.

[@libbyglover6688]

You are amazing. I had my husband watch you redo your laundry room ,now he wants to watch more.It is a joy to watch you. Have a blessed Christmas. Libby from SC.

[@carmendoyle9786]

U make everything so beautiful! I love seeing old chairs trun in to plant stands when they cut hole in the seat !

[@havajava2day554]

This video inspired my husband and I to visit the Amish country this week! Of course, we made a stop at this thrift store (well, my husband sat in the car while I shopped🤣). My family also lives close to that area. We always enjoy the back roads. Beautiful country! I enjoy your videos and creativity!

[@AWills-df2dv]

Simple, fresh and beautiful. Love it.

[@judyantczak8180]

I would've absolutely FAINTED if I'd seen that green cart in a thrift store - what a score! SO glad you just cleaned it up and left it green!

[@bobbihofacker2706]

You need to save that cart. Would look so cute out on the porch this spring 🌱🌿

[@cathyzubak2284]

I also hit the like button before I watch. I love everything Mary does😊

[@charlenegates1711]

Mary, I remember having a cart like that except it was yellow when I was a little girl. I can see how you want to keep it. Amazing what you can do with your finds.💕💕💕💕

[@CatsAreCutiess]

I enjoy your channel. I love the bloopers, and getting to know my craft family better.

[@mariaprats4830]

I love the chair and the table and the shelf they are amazing

[@marybroyhill1976]

I think the plant stand and cart are my favorite. You are so creative!

[@jamiepan7650]

Mary, you never disappoint ? Great job.

[@monasanders3194]

Love love that chair, the color is awesome.

[@conniesmith699]

We moved into a new home 20 years ago and I still miss the vintage rolling kitchen cart that I sold in a yard sale. I had thought I didn't have room in the new house for it. I had it in the kitchen of the old house and I think I was just thinking kitchen, not at the time thinking it could have gone in any room. Love those things..

[@lorettaholwell557]

Everything turned out beautiful.

[@jamiejunkjournals9316]

I literally can not resist unique little side tables....I won't even tell you how many I own... I always give them a make over to suit my style (white and distressed of course) some are done and in use some are started and some have been collecting dust for way too long just waiting for me to be inspired and find the perfect place in my house for them. I will continue to buy them too because I have no control when it comes to them. I'm sure you all can relate!

[@jamiejunkjournals9316]

That green cart would have been coming home with me!!

[@robstrck3314]

The wall paper on the plant stand looks like the leaves were stenciled on. Turned out nice. Love the green cart. Would love to find one some day. Merry Christmas to you and your family Mary ☺️

[@louisejohnston4876]

Oh that cart! What a great find! This type of video is my fave Mary. You are so creative with your finds. Love it!

[@kmarch6630]

I'm sooo glad you didn't paint the green cart. I love that color.

[@debbiegibson6113]

The plant stand is lovely.

[@cathyridgdill8085]

Oh my!! Love the green cart. So nostalgic, and I'm like you, I love green. When I saw you linger on it in the store, I was hoping you would get it! Also, love your soap drying shelf; another great find. It all looks so nice. Love everything you do. You're amazing! ❤

[@Angel-rv1mt]

I loved everything you did. That metal serving cart is adorable. I wouldn’t have given it a second look, probably not even a first look. But you made it look trendy and cute. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip to the thrift store, seeing the rural area I am so glad I stumbled on your channel.

[@debbietaylor6424]

I love thrift store shopping, I even have my granddaughter into shopping with me

[@CVenza]

Mary you cease to amaze me. I loved the chair makeover. On mine I removed the original seat cover and steam cleaned the cushion since. I love wallpaper and use it to line my cabinets and the best part of that is I can change it with the seasons. Merry Christmas.

[@reggie9334]

I love that chair and cart.

[@ameliaphelps7201]

All of your videos are simply the best!

[@evazilcaiova9940]

Beautifol. Super. 👍👍👍👍❤️❤️. Slovakia.

[@reneeyates2149]

Love your socks 😀. My favorite piece was the cart. I like how the top comes off as a tray.

[@janoldani3020]

.I loved all the makeovers, but was really surprised that you didn’t remove the filthy chair cover

[@samanthadurbin4783]

Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year ✝️✝️✝️🎄🎄🎄🎄🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I love the green cart, I’m so glad you didn’t change it! I’ve never seen one that has a removable tray on top.

[@kimberlylennon4048]

I love everything it’s beautiful 🤩 the kitty is beautiful also

[@23Josilee]

Great finds...all of which turned out beautifully done.

[@denisecarter5117]

Everything turned out wonderful.

[@dugchris2009]

We bought and old table and chairs with chrome legs. We use steal wool to clean them and then bought chrome paint to redo the legs. It turned out great!

[@zullo3529]

I wish we had thrift stores here. Sadly all we have is goodwill. And it never has much. I love the chair and for $2.00 it’s a steal. The plant stand is perfect for spring and summer. Thanks Mary

[@mlm7598]

I love your choices. The older cart was around in the late 40's and 50-60's first I remember them. The bracket you spoke about that was missing, I remember that and the ladies would hang their tea towels or hand towels on there so they were handy when they would wheel it about ......... mom used a tray as such to roll into the laundry room with her iron and starch and pop bottle with the cork and tin lid with holes in it to sprinkle the clothes. Dads ironed and neatly folded dress shirts were on the second shelf. If some one was sick in bed she would perhaps put the steamer on there and take a meal or liquids into their room and wash clothes and towels to give them a bed bath if need be. Fond memories of the old carts. Used for so many different things. I also remember my aunt having one and her heavy appliances like mixer and stand and turkey roaster would be stored on such in the pantry............thanks for the memories. Loved the chair and plant stand as well. The choice of print was darling! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@kelliepatrick519]

When I saw the green cart in the thrift store, I yelled 'get it, get it!" Then I didn't see it. But when she pulled it out of the truck, I was like "Yes!!" Someone will be lucky to buy that from your booth! All great projects! lol, I went to your Etsy to look for the candle cups and they were already sold! Within hours of your video posting! That's awesome!.

[@theresadavid3845]

schöne Sachen hast du wieder gemacht. Ich wünsche dir und deiner Familie ein friedvolles Weihnachtsfest und ein gesundes neues Jahr, liebe Grüße Theresa

[@DS40764]

I love that green cart. I thought to myself as you walked by it in the thrift store, "Turn around, you got to get that cart." It looked like you missed it. So vintage, pretty and it has a practical use too. I would use it as a beverage cart ; like tea. Rural Ohio is pretty.

[@elainereynolds9532]

LOVE them ALL....... AS USUAL....

[@lauradissinger5404]

I love all of you videos. I wanted to tell you that I enjoy when you share your drives with us. Your area strongly resembles where I live in Lancaster, PA. Of course we are also an area with a dense population of Amish and I love it. It’s beautiful.

[@glojk4315]

Share and Care is also one of my favorite thrift stores. Another great video. Thanks!

[@deborahchen6083]

Really enjoy your demonstration and how to create things

[@DrugAbusePrevention]

Mary, have you ever thought of approaching local farms directly to see if they have old treasures they might be ready to part with? Or would that just be too much work? It sure would make for some great video content.

[@iamwhoiamd7056]

I love you Mary, I love what you do.

[@hildamclawhorm6305]

Mary, you are so smart and meticulous 🌲🎄👏

[@georgiasmith9477]

Yes!! You have sufficiently inspired me to go thrifting. 🏃‍♀️ 💨

[@vionkinipsagallegoski4207]

I always enjoy your tutorials, videos and creations.

[@chattykathie7129]

You are so tidy. I can’t believe how you paint in your house and in nice clothes. I’m so messy I’d have paint all over my floor and on me.

[@LHeatherBarrera]

I love the old green cart so much! I was afraid you were going to paint it and was very relieved you didn't it! 😊

[@carolschapansky1747]

Love love the chair. Wish I lived beside you. Haha. Good makeovers.

[@deborahdownie8039]

Beautiful transformations Mary.

[@inspiringcreativeexpressio9993]

You always inspire me!! Love everything you do!! The candle cups are adorable & so is the plant table. Love it!!

[@mindym.1166]

Your staple gun looks really useful! Last summer I bought a staple gun and started using it on a project only to find out it was so big my small hands could hardly work it. I think I'll order the one you use! Great job on the makeovers. It's always fun to watch you make things beautiful, Mary!

[@gailfirenze4760]

You’re so very clever and so creative.Blessings Gail🇦🇺

[@dianejenkins6159]

I had so much fun watching Mary's thrift shopping and the results! I found myself smiling during the whole video.

[@LitlPoot]

love your ideas and creativity !!! you are an inspiration for sure. I love wandering the aisles of a thrift store - it's a great adventure and you just never know what you might find. Thrift stores are my "go to" for picture frames and plant containers !! thanks for sharing
