.. would I use three mismatched lampshades? In a HEARTBEAT!! I LOVE it!!
Me too. From boring to beautiful.❤
Ditto!
Count me in too!
Now that my husband is gone I have happily made MANY changes in my home.
My husband got himself gone about 38 years ago. Not that he was so awful or anything, but I have never been happier, being a single lady totally in charge of my own life and my own decor!
I love all of these but the mismatched lampshades?! Perfection!!
Oh, thank you, Laurinda! Is it Lauri or Laurinda?
Yes! I love that the 3 lampshades don't match. 3 lights are perfect. I think a 5 or 6 arm chandelier would be too chaotic with different shades. You always surprise me with your wonderful ideas.❤😊💡
Thank you so much, Vicki! 😊
Yes lampshades are beautiful mismatched
I think the three different shades is genius! Love love love the bird stencils on the ceiling.
Yay! Thank you!😊
Sherry your home is BEAUTIFUL! Please keep in mind that it is YOUR HOME so you can do what you want...I would let the criticism go in one ear and out the other!! Fresh flowers die fake ones do not! I love your style so much I often copy it in my home. I wish I had your creative mind and the talent! Thanks for sharing everything you do with all of us.
Sherry,
I would love to see you do some regular Q&A videos! So many of us are enamored with your style, creativity, and professional use of a variety of tools. 💜
Hello Sherry. Love all your ideas, as always. The birds in the ceiling and adding antiquing wax was a great addition. The mud room looks very cozy. Yes, I'd use the mismatched glass globes. That's a brilliant idea! Ok, who should care or criticize someone for using faux plants instead of real??? Girl, don't listen to them, you do what YOU want. 😉 Your creations and ideas are such an inspiration. Thanks for all you do for us. Already looking forward to your next video. Take care 😊
I used a curtain to cover by bench. I just used huge safety pins to attach it. I folded it like a gift. That way I could take it off and wash it or replace it when I got tired of it.
I love, love, love the addition of gold birds both painted and fun use of knobs.
Simple but very effective upgrades. Love the birds on the ceiling.
I just love the way the mismatched vintage shades look on your light fixture. I am definitely going to looks for some shades I can use to implement that idea! Thanks for sharing. All your ideas are amazing!
You are so welcome! I’m so glad you liked these ideas!
I love the birds on the ceiling and I liked the gold birds before the wax. But thats just me. Your house, your call! Everything you do is beautiful, such creative talent. ❤
I love painting birds on the ceiling.
That would be great to add in children's rooms too. I think your room looked great painted green. I love it.
I love the bird light without the antiquing wax, the birds on the ceiling is a great idea. Love it.. ❤️
I am packing for a move so every video I watch current or older are helping me put my ideas for the new home THANK YOU SHERRY ❤
You are so welcome! What an exciting time! It’s so much work to move, but so much fun to start fresh in a new place!
I look forward to all your great project ideas; they make my day. I am impressed by the refreshing changes a little paint makes in your home. I still wish I were your next door neighbor, but for now I will settle for being your "virtual neighbor." Liz
I just love your style. You have become my favorite thrifter. I would definitely use different shades like you did I think it is very cool. Love the gold Birds on the light fixtures and then the Goldbergs on the ceiling I would definitely do this but I live in an apartment so I just enjoy watching what you do to your home. Blessings and love from New Mexico
The mismatched light globes are wonderful! They would be something I would have collected if I had more room to display. It's so great to use random things you love in such a pretty way. Now I'm on the hunt for a fixture and vintage globes! Love it so much!
Oh, thank you so much, Cheryl! It was a good thing I only needed three shades because even though Habitat had hundreds of glass shades, I only found three that looked vintage.
The birds on the ceiling are precious! I wish I had somewhere I could do that. 🐦
The birds on your ceiling and light look delightful! My husband painted a sky with puffy clouds and birds on the ceiling of my daughter's room when she was younger. We added glow-in-the-dark stars. She loved it.
I love your videos. I look for them when I have had enough of what's going on in the world. I smile all the way through Thank you
I would definitely use miss matched lamp shades.
I painted all of my interior doors black during the Pandemic and I absolutely LOVE them. Very classic, very English, and very elevated.
I loved seeing a picture hung beneath the chair rail in your foyer. I hung a large framed photo under my bathroom window. It was the only space large enough for it, and the first thing I see when entering. I have a coastal bathroom, and my daughter took the photo of a dugout canoe on the beach in Tanzania, which reminds me of a childhood experience I had.
That is awesome! I love how your picture evokes memories (and an interesting story), and you hung it in an interesting spot, too!
Wow Mrs Sherry so beautifully done as ALWAYS!! Everything looks fabulous!! Please say an extra prayer for me today! Just need an extra boost! 😊❤ hope you have a WONDERFUL rest of your week!! Invitation is ALWAYS open! 😂 🤭😜
I love the mismatched light shades and the birds on the ceiling are so joyful!
Thank you so much, Nena!
Love the mis-matched light fixtures!!!
Oh, thank you, Charlene!
I'm usually "matchy matchy", but I really like your 3 mismatched lamp shades together.
The room is so pretty. Love the antiquing wax and the birds on the ceiling. The black paint really does elevate the door!
You truly do come up with the best ( original & unique ) ideas. I simply loved the stencilled birds on the ceiling.
I would certainly use mismatched shades in my home! They'd go well with my mismatched kitchen chairs😅
Love that!
I have always loved the look of shelves above windows or doors. Great way to display all of your decor.
The green light was beautiful before and now it is even more beautiful with the antiquing wax, who would have thought! You have a wonderful touch, everything you do is just perfect and inspirational.
I love that lamp and I would definitely use different glass shades because each is its own work of art. Your laundry room would make doing laundry a relaxing chore for sure. Every idea today was something anyone could achieve. Thanks, Sherry!
Since we build, yes we love stenciling on ceilings! I LOVE your birds and stencils! Your green is very pretty and YEA I’m a gold girl too! Always have been!
Love all the changes and improvements you made throughout your home. I especially LOVE the birds on the ceiling!
I have refreshed many piano and sitting benches over the years. I don’t have any upholstery skills but these are SUPER simple to do,wrap around and staple! Some of my classiest yet inexpensive fabrics from the thrift store have been from custom drapes. Some designer suggested raw silk to their clients and now I’m buying the panels for a dollar each! (Even one odd,lone panel goes a long way.) 🤭🙌🏻
Love the mismatched shades idea. Reminds me of flowers
I love the unexpected. So I love the mismatched shades, but I really love the ceiling stencils! Birds are a them throughout my house, before I started watching your channel. I will be looking for a bird stencil now for sure.
You did small projects, but they have a big impact. Beautiful as always.
Thank you so much, Shelly! The stencils I used are from Cutting Edge stencils.
Love, Love, Love everything you do. I would LOVE to see a complete home tour to see how the rooms all connect and flow! I bet others would love it as well!
Wow the whole show was awesome i loved what you did with the mud room. It really brought it up a notch. The cabinet doors in the bathroom surprised me cause i thought you were leaving them white but the black looked vey nice . Thank you Sherry! Ps the shades worked very well cause even thought hey were different they were similar in size and shape. They were a go for me.
Great changes! I agree with the previous comment about husband’s comments. My husband always says “leave it alone, I don’t like change.” 😂 I don’t listen. 😂😂😂😂😂
Wow, just a few changes makes a big difference!!
Love the shelf above the window frame. Great idea for displaying decor items in a small space.
My daughter (remember she became a fan separately from me) anyway we talk about you, she says “did you see what Canterbury did …… “ and I either say “yes or oh I will watch it” then we collaborate on projects ! She is even talking about using power tools, which is a real turn around for her! Her husband may need to hide the tools! Actually I have a lot of tools we can use together! This is a good time as I just moved into a lovely Senior Apartment in beautiful Skaneateles N.Y. So we will be incorporating your tips! Blessed Spring days!
Absolutely love the birds on the ceiling! Loved the pop of bright gold birds on the light, but understand that the antique wax look matches your decor. 😊
Can I just say I love the black. Everyone well, not everyone but a lot of us are afraid to use black because we feel like it is going to make a space too dark or feel smaller but it is just the opposite. After watching you I finally took the plunge and painted my doors black when I put the first coat on the first door. I thought oh no what have I done 😲but I have learned over the years to complete a project before judging and to realize it is just paint and it can be painted over if you hate it. I did not hate it ha ha ha I loved it, and I have gotten so many compliments.
Thank you for helping me boldly go where I would have never gone before ( Star Trek reference intended )😄
Those hobby lobby knobs!!! The mismatched lamp shades !! The ceiling birds!! ❤ (my only complaint, please actually attach the shelf brackets to the window frame, that's an accident waiting to happen)
Love the unique fun look of using mismatched glass shades.
Mixing lampshades is a definite yes for me! 😊
Love the mixed shades, much more interesting
Glad you like them!
Love the mud room. The glass shades are very nice together.
Thank you! 🤗
The laundry room door painted black is excellent!
As always Sherry, I love your decorating style. I am not sure in a room if I would mix lamp shades but I would do it in a hallway!! I love the birds on the ceiling! And I loved the antique wax on the birdcage. I'm sad to hear ANYONE criticizes you for not using real plants or anything else. Keep being you! We love you for your unique style and amazing tips! Your friend in PA~ ❤❤❤❤❤❤🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦
Love the laundry room window. I don't think anyone is even going to notice the mismatched loght shades !
Oh I love the stenciled birds on the ceiling ❤️ it’s all about the details
I loved the antiquing wax on the green light fixture - and the birds on the ceiling and wall. So unique.
Beautiful! and I love what you did with those birds.. GORGEOUS!!!
Love the mismatched shades idea. So clever!! The birds on the ceiling looks so beautiful!!
I have a -1000 ability to Decorate anything!!! I absolutely love everything you touch and all I can say is I wish so much that I could just bring you to my atrocity of a house and let you have free range to do whatever you want!! I think that will be a bucket list for me!! ❤I ❤❤
LOVE the mismatched shades in your laundry light. Also the gold birds on light and ceiling. Genius ideas! 👍
Loved all of the updates, but the birds on the ceiling was a stellar idea! Thanks, Sherry, and have a great week ahead!!
Thank you! You too!
Loved the light fixture with the mismatched shades, 100 percent better than matching
Love the birds stenciled on the ceiling!
Love the mismatched shades!
I stenciled a frog on a wall in my kitchen right along the counter. The grandkids loved it 🥰
Oh, how fun! I may have to steal that idea!
LOVE the mismatched shades!
I love the slight changes on the light fixture and the birds on the wall and ceiling are wonderful finishing touches! I have some stenciling in my main bathroom and I love it!
love the mis-matched lights, and the birds are brilliant!!!
Love how you redid your bathroom cabinets and I like all the things you did in your laundry room. I don't have a laundry "room" it is off the garage so it is not big, I call it my laundry "closet".
Yes!!! To the mismatched shades, I'm also loving the window over window idea and the addition of the shelf and brackets is perfect for extra space to display items.
Thank you, Constance! 😊
Love the miss matched shades love the dark blue and love the black!!!
Oh, thank you, Joleen!
It looks great! You are a fantastic carpenter. I love that you admitted forgetting the measurements, I do, too.
I love those glass lamp globes & yes, I’d do that, too.
The green is pretty & thanks for the science lesson about green. I love, love the ceiling birds and I like the light pendant either way but I personally would have left it plain or used white wax.
Love you ideas!
Sherry, you manage to make everything look fabulous and effortless! Amazing!
I’m always looking for unique ways to decorate my home and I love the idea of the mismatched glass shades. It’s a perfect touch that showcases the vintage style I admire so much! Thanks for the idea❤😊
I want that mud room! There is not one thing I would change! I’m loving the black doors! You are amazing!
Oh, Terri, you are so sweet! I wish I had a video of converting the closet to that open space. I bought a reciprocating saw and used it for the first time to remove some boards! (There were a couple times when I thought I might have gotten in over my head!)
I've stenciled on a ceiling before and it was a spectacular success. I did the corners with a French inspired pattern and it elevated a simple guest bedroom that became my Mom's bedroom and she loved it.
Mismatching the shades was a great idea!! Really fits your style too! What a cute idea!!
Yes I love the lamp shades. You are a breath of fresh air to my decorating soul....
3 different vintage glass shades…brilliant!
I’m serving Hubs his supper but had to say: WOW! You are just SUPER!
Have seen several of your videos, but none of them had inspired me to subscribe until this one! Great ideas!!
Back un the day, when stenciling was the MUST for home decor 1994ish-my sister stenciled a garden on an arched wall in my new house. Part of the hollihocks and some other flower continued up to the top of the arch. She added butterflies ,if I'm memberinf correctly, flying birds in clouds. The wall and arch are about 24" wide. It was a really fun housing warming gift. She was so creative. 😊
Sherry - just loved the non-matching lamp shades! No fear!
I love the birds and the dark wax
Love the mismatched lampshades, the stenciled birds on wall and ceiling, and the beadboard wallpaper on the cabinet doors. Your refresh is amazing!
Thanks so much, Lynn!😊
This is brilliant. Not surprised about it at all. You always come up with great changes that can be mixed & matched & reused later! Clever!!
Those lampshades have enough similarities to go well together.
Sherry, I love the mismatched lampshades and I also love the bird stencils and I like the wax on the lamp, but I would have left birds gold. I love watching your makeovers.
Everything you do is magic and amazing!!!! I love the mismatched light fixtures.
I love the mud room, it’s so inviting with the green. The decorations look beautiful. And I think the three different lamp shades is an awesome idea! Great work Sherry! 👍🥰❤️
I love your chandelier and stenciled birds! The theme and colors are perfect!
Your whimsical imagination always amazes me ❤
Green is my favorite color, so you won me over on that wall color
LOVE LOVE the mud room makeover and I love the 3 different glass shades! You are right up my alley! Thanks you !
Oh I love the shades Sherri!!❤❤❤❤😊
Love the green color you ended up with! Love your ideas, sweet friend!😍
Mondays are my favorite since I get a new Canterbury Cottage video to watch! I love all your projects Sherry! ♥️
Yay! Thank you! Kira, you are too sweet!😊
I prefer the chandelier with the antiquing wax.
