just as clarification...Antiques are items which must be at least 100 years old...///vintage: Most antique dealers consider an item to be vintage if it is at least 40 years old or less than 100 years old.
Yes! I think the reason everyone refers to the store as Antique is because they have a huge inventory of extremely older pieces, (but they also have newer thrift store items as well) so kinda best of both worlds 😀 Thank you so much and I hope you have a Great week! 💕
Christine, you are so talented! You absolutely amaze me in the way you see beauty in items most people would not give a second look. I really enjoy your hard work.
How funny, I have heard it both ways now as well. I think they probably both work but I do like that the blue can is fume free. 😀 Thanks so much for the message have a great day!🌼
GREAT VIDEO... LOVE the RESULTS of the NATURAL WOOD BOWL and the CAROUSEL, done in WHITE with ANTIQUING is VERY NICE... I FORGOT about the PILLOWS, THEY ARE AMAZING.....
OMG! This was the first video of yours that I’ve seen. Loved your ideas. My OMGoodness is about you not covering your kitchen counter! I am ALWAYS making messes n scratches so I have to use rough areas to do my work. I’m on my way to get Easy Off now for some frames AND look over what wood items need new looks! Thank you for your ideas.
Hi Christine.. just found your channel and luv what you did with those items. I'm hooked on your creative processes and new found treasures. Hope to see more of your work.
very nice projects...love the ideas however i have to say a fat huge THANK YOU for not playing an annoying music on top of your voice...one can hear a soft repetitive music but it does not interrupt the flowing of your explanation...
@@corrinnacorrinna5572 thank you...Many people dislike the "trend" of placing annoying music on videos but so little number will say something...I highly enjoy watching a video with out music or in these case very very low relaxing music in the background. Makes me go 😵💫😵💫😖😖🥺🥺 when the music is heavy rock dark type of music or less than a second same bit played over and over and over...well u get the idea...LOLOLOL sometimes i just can not take it and never finish the video even when the subject matter is very interesting...but that is me...Happy New Year!!
@@corrinnacorrinna5572 Yeaph...so glad to find someone that understand the whole issue. Happy New year...! That 2023 be full of blessings for you and your love ones.
First time I watched you. Great video! My favorites were the clock which came out fantastic, the beautiful grain of the wood really comes out. The others are the planters with the cement look and the onion and potato bin. You have great decor taste. I'm in the middle of remodeling so these are great future DIY's for me! Thanks!
Hello Christine, thank you for the diy’s. I love how they all turned out. My favorites were the tator and onion bin and the wooden bowl. I love Howard’s Restore-A-Finish. I have used it for years. I pray you had a very Merry Christmas and I am wishing you a Happy New Year! Your friend, Diane.😊
You have to be careful with pots for live plants sitting on anything you don’t want damaged. Even on a cement porch the high moisture content soaking through on a continual basis with change the color of cement (or wood floor). If you elevate it on legs, the moisture will have an escape.
Loved all your flips. It is my understanding that oven cleaner removes stain so if a piece is not stained it doesn't do much. It looked like the bowl just had sealer on it so that might be why it didn't work.
Did you seal the irregular shaped wooden bowl? I love the new look by the way🌟 I love wooden bowls💕. I also love the finish on the plastic vases or flower pots.
Hi Marilyn, no I did not seal that particular bowl. But if I do, I will use Howard Butcher Block oil/Conditioner, so it doesn't have a shine. I really like that raw wood appearance. Thank you so much for the sweet comment! 😀
Hello love your thrift flips ! I have a hutch I have been wanting to paint , I caught glimpse of yours ! Please share with me what color / paint did you use 🙏
Hi Danzrmom! (great name) Im thinking you mean the light blue one? I unfortunately threw the empty can away before I wrote down the name (which I usually write down) but it is a French Blue. If you look at swatches go to French blue (very pale blue) I matched the color (for this twin) if it helps you at all see the color close up?th-cam.com/video/MpIRAH-tGt8/w-d-xo.html Thank you!😀
@@christinescreations9029 you're so welcome. My grandad used to work with wood a lot and I would sit in his hut and watch him. I picked little things up from him.
Thank you so much Shawna! I had the couches hand made in Los Angeles (beautiful store on La Brea) and whenever I need new slipcovers, I just re-order from them. I can't remember the name right now but can give you their phone number if you want? If you are in Utah, there's a fantastic lady who makes slipcovers I could give you her number as well (I would need their permission to give their numbers but Im sure they would be happy to help. you can email me if you are interested). 😀 Thanks again!
Hi Deborah! Thank you for the sweet comment. I'm assuming you mean the hutch I put the clock on top of? (I accidentally threw away the paint can without writing it down 😥so sorry). Here is a closer look at the color if it helps. I tried to duplicate it.. th-cam.com/video/MpIRAH-tGt8/w-d-xo.html Its a very pale baby blue (with Lots of distressing). hopefully that helps a little. If you're referring to the other hutch behind me that is: Behr Chalk Paint Colors Deep Thought (painted on outside) Charcoal (painted inside) Thanks again😀
What size are your pillows? It looks like your couch is a similar size to my IKEA loveseat, however your pillows look bigger than my pillows. I wonder if I can try that size pillow. Also can you share where you bought the grain sack on Etsy. So far loving your videos
Hello Nanette! These pillow sizes I made are 26 x 26 but you could make any size you need. My couches are quite large (8.5' long x 4' deep) so I made bigger ones to kinda match the size. (but I also have a smaller pillow on there from Ikea for reference - the cute plaid one 20x20 which is a great size too). I've been purchasing the grain sack fabric from a couple different people on Etsy (sweet Annie acres and sunny slope farms, they also sell pillows if you don't want to make them) but there are lots of people who sell it there so you can find what you like 😀 Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks so much!!!💕
I loved everything you did on these flips except the musical carousel. I decided to follow you anyway. But sometimes things that are the opposite color on the color wheel looks fine. By painting it, you lost the character and patina.
Hello! Yes, that's what makes it so fun we take the ideas we like and leave the rest behind since we are all so different! Thank you so much! Have a Great Day! 😀

I love carousels. I have several of them. My great grandsons got a hold of one and over wound it.
Hello Ellen!! Yes they are so cute.. I can imagine your great grandsons wanting to listen to them so much they over wound it.. Hope its ok! 😀
We get whole families of deer in our yard☺️
OH I love this!! How amazing for you all! 😀
Love thrift flips! All were great. The clock turned out beautifully. And that wood bowl, all that hard work paid off!
Hello!! Thank you so much. Hope you're doing Great!💕
You did a amazing job on that clock. It's beautiful !
Thank you so much for the sweet comment! 😀
Wow that clock is stunning! Yup I had the same problem with the Easy Off, doesn’t work all of the time, perhaps it’s the lacquer coats? Not sure..😊
Hi Mary! 😀Yes someone actually commented that... makes sense. Thanks for the kind words!! Have a great day!🌼
I love using that restore finisher product....luv the clock😍😍😍
Isn't it great!? Thank you so much!💕
Im in love with the cushion covers,
they look awesome!
Thank you so much Tracey!😀
Those dogs just made me smile. Thank you. Loved your DIY's
OH Thank you so much for this sweet comment! They bring so much joy!!💕
Christine, you are so talented! You absolutely amaze me in the way you see beauty in items most people would not give a second look. I really enjoy your hard work.
Oh my gosh this is the sweetest!! Thank you so very much I really appreciate your kindness! ❣
I saw in another post that the Easy Off in the yellow can is the best to distress wood.
How funny, I have heard it both ways now as well. I think they probably both work but I do like that the blue can is fume free. 😀 Thanks so much for the message have a great day!🌼
Super duper cute ☺️

Please let your viewers know of the dangers of using oven cleaner. A ventilator is needed and protector gloves. Thank you. You have nice ideas
Great point! 💗 Thank you for the reminder to let people know safety!
YW & thanks for all the hard work you put into the videos for us
Love how the wood bowl turned out, but I love the pillow covers ( my sewing machine is in the shop midway thru a pillow cover project.
Oh no.. that's so hard when you're in the middle of a project! hope you get it back soon! Thank you so very much😀

This is absolutely true. I have to rotate my plants around the house to prevent this! Thanks so much for mentioning here! Have a Great Day💕
Loved all your flips. It is my understanding that oven cleaner removes stain so if a piece is not stained it doesn't do much. It looked like the bowl just had sealer on it so that might be why it didn't work.
Hi Judy! Yes it had a lot of sealer/finish so that makes so much sense!!! Thanks for sharing 😀 I really appreciate it!
Oh my goodness! Every project was great! That carousel though..I would have to add ribbons and laces and such! New subbie!
Thank you so much! 😀

The bowl in #6, looked like monkey-pod wood. I have a large hinged nut bowl made of it.
I'll bet your nut bowl is beautiful!😀
I would have did a slight white wash on the clock what a find $6 wow 😮 the flower pots R outstanding “want 👆”
Great Idea! thanks for the comment! I really appreciate it 😀
Really nice flips! Just subscribed, happy to follow along with you!
Thank you so much!😀💕
I think the with oven cleaner it depends on the finish and what varnish or whatever was used on the wood.
That makes sense because there was a lot of sealer/varnish on it so probably didn't work. Thanks so much! 😀 I really appreciate it!
@@christinescreations9029 you're so welcome. My grandad used to work with wood a lot and I would sit in his hut and watch him. I picked little things up from him.
@@kathoakes929 Oh how fun! and such great memories for you.. I would love to pick your brain and learn all the fun tricks 😀
I was coming to comment the same thing. It’s not the type of word that makes the difference, it’s whatever sealer was used.
Love the clock and pillows!!!
Where did you get your couch slip cover? 😀

@@christinescreations9029 im in Washington state. Where might I find your email?
@@shawnamorales4930 hello! In the description of my video although I don't know anyone in Washington state who does slipcovers sadly.
The oven cleaner needs to be warm to work. It works best outside on a sunny warm day.
Thanks sandy! That makes sense, its very cold here now 😀
Your hutch color is gorgeous! Can you share the paint color?
Hi Deborah! Thank you for the sweet comment. I'm assuming you mean the hutch I put the clock on top of? (I accidentally threw away the paint can without writing it down 😥so sorry). Here is a closer look at the color if it helps. I tried to duplicate it..

Its a very pale baby blue (with Lots of distressing). hopefully that helps a little. If you're referring to the other hutch behind me that is:
Behr Chalk Paint Colors
Deep Thought (painted on outside)
Charcoal (painted inside) Thanks again😀
Thank You so much for taking the time to answer my question! I will try to match it this way! I just love it!
