Just wanted to say that I love the fact that you are recycling, upcycling, its truley amazing, most things that are at least 50 years or older were made here with better materials and craftsmanship. Keep up the good work kids and God bless.. ml
I sanded the top of my mom’s 1945 sewing cabinet ( it contained embroidery thread on rolls) , restained the top and painted the rest with off white chalk paint. Now it’s a pretty bedside table.
Once again love what you have done with the recycling, always a pleasure when your new video alert pops up. You have a great eye not just for choosing pieces, but painting them just the right colour and then displaying them with other collected items, absolutely brilliant Elysia!
We're not allowed to scavange at our tip but we have a recovery shop next to the tip where people can drop off an/or buy discarded items to save them from landfill. We also have a street verge collection once a year where you can pick up unwanted household items. Yes! I'm always shocked to see what people throw out. But as they say, one person's trash is another's treasure. Keep up the recycling and upcycling. Good stuff. 🙏😁💕
Great job saving the planet. I'm blown away how small the landfill is in your town. We Americans really need to follow your example and do more to reduce, reuse, and recycle.
I live in North Borneo and we don't get great things like that, but I have picked up some amazing things from the garbage. A great vacuum cleaner, an oven and a water air cooler is just some of the things... Good on you for what you do
Use a cabinet scraper or a straight sharpened knife, it’s quicker than sanding and you won't be generating so much fine dust protect your lungs. I wish we found great things like that over here
I always have questions on how you finish a painted furniture project... Wax, poly?? Could you possibly add some suggested products and what you used for the pieces you upcycled in your description?
I've been binge watching your videos! Love that you reclaim items to such beauty purposeful items! So inspired. I'm on Canada as well. Thank you for being authentic and helpful in your tips.
Beautiful work on everything! Where did you learn all the skills to finish the furniture like a professional? Thank you for 101 Refinishing Furniture class. Totally enjoy watching you 'work' new life into old furniture.
Gah!! That night stand turned out SO nice! I love a classic white with a stained top. 👏 and I think I need one of those spice racks for my essential oils. Great idea once again, you never cease to amaze me!
Girl, you are awesome! I have a silver colored film reel box like the green one you painted to make into the first aid kit. I have been looking for a box to paint with a cross to make into a first aid kit and never thought to use it. As soon as you started taping off the second section I knew where you were going with it :) The night stand is sooooo gorgeous!
You rock girl !!! Your channel is amazing, i see those old jewelry boxes all the time and just pass them by, not anymore lol !!! I love how they look after you painted them. I'd love to make 2 for my girls this Christmas!!! Thanks for all kinds of inspiration. Keep up the great work. Can't wait for the 17th ❤ 👍❤👍
I went thrift shopping and I’m so delighted…I got a Pampered Chef oval dish retails for $65 and I paid $5, large basket and three smaller baskets for $9, a coffee press retails $35 for $4, now I can make my own special coffee with cocoa and cinnamon….I have hunted flea markets for old Christmas ornaments that I never pay more then $3 for and numerous ones are collectible. I bought a old fashion pine tree with the wood center for $10 last year, pine wreaths I remake into seasonal wreaths., a heavy hand crocheted Afghan that is so warm and a hand cut picture with a beautiful saying….I love thrifting but our dumps are closed in with fencing and locked gates……I’d be afraid someone would track me down for stealing trash…🤣
Love the night stand. I have a dresser that I bought from someone. It came out of a hotel so it has a formica removable top. I actually bought 3 of them one for each bedroom. It has 9 drawers, a console style dresser. The drawers and drawer pulls match exactly. I may decide to paint mine. The other 2 I gave away to a family whose house burned down. Love your channel. I'm a new subscriber and have been binge watching.
OMG 😱 I love how the night table look now wish I could live near by to buy things from you. You should come to MA 😆. Blessings on all you do. Keep showing ur awesome ideas and tutorials 😘
I am officially addicted to your channel! If I had to narrow it down to one video, (which is really hard by the way) It would have to be the "how to paint buffalo plaid". I have been looking for a detailed video, that would teach how to paint it. And make it look like real fabric, I absolutely love it! Thank you so much for your videos, they have honestly inspired me to think twice about the things I dispose of.
Hey, Elysia, Love what You are doing . My husband got my granddaughter and I and silhouette Cameo 3 and a cricut machine then my computer went down so hang in there keep on rocking everything going for me so I can watch you do it.
You are the first DIY'r who I've seen go to the actual Dump! I LOVE what you do. Oh ny goodness, what an inspiration you are! So glad I found your channel.
I didn’t realize you were from Canada 🇨🇦 which area ? ..... I also just wanted to say I love that you can go to the dump and find stuff ... I’m from just outside Toronto (Hamilton) and we’re not aloud in the dump to look around 👎
I really do love all of your projects, but I love to paint everything on a subject, because when I pull out a drawer, I don’t wanna see the original color on the side of the drawer I’m looking forward to your video which is coming the 17th of October, love from the Netherlands
Just finished listening to the book Garbagology. We are sooo wasteful as Americans and humans. To see you reuse, recycle, and reduce is amazing. I’m also learning to “refuse” to avoid paying to capitalism and buying a bunch of stuff we don’t need that will turn into trash later on.

Beautiful end table. I love redoing jewellery boxes for barbie furniture.
I sanded the top of my mom’s 1945 sewing cabinet ( it contained embroidery thread on rolls) , restained the top and painted the rest with off white chalk paint. Now it’s a pretty bedside table.
This is where I first came across you. Been with you guys and your journey ever since.
Same here ❤
I definitely recommend paint stripper to remove previous paint on furniture and then sanding it. It’s a lot faster and gets the job done ✅
I love painting vintage jewelry boxes. They would make a darling dresser in a doll house. I love the nightstand.
Once again love what you have done with the recycling, always a pleasure when your new video alert pops up. You have a great eye not just for choosing pieces, but painting them just the right colour and then displaying them with other collected items, absolutely brilliant Elysia!
You did a great job redoing all your treasures 💕💕
Love it all but I think the spice rack is darling!!!
Great job on the nightstand - such beautiful lines in these older pieces.
I LOVE THEM ALLLLLLLLLLLL

Simply love your videos and the end products. Wish I could buy some.
It’s all beautiful 😍You rocked it
Thanks for such a great share. Everything came out pretty great!! I never thought about using a old spice holder to hold essential oils. Great idea.

Hey, Elysia, Love what You are doing . My husband got my granddaughter and I and silhouette Cameo 3 and a cricut machine then my computer went down so hang in there keep on rocking everything going for me so I can watch you do it.
Hello there! I do this stuff too! I am always stunned by what people just "dump". Some of my best finds were furniture pieces. Just became a Sub!
Elysia, you did a fantastic job, as you always do.....I love them all, especially the spice rack, jewelry boxes, night stand, first aid kit.....LOL
haha Thanks Teresa!
I drive through nice neighborhoods in my area. Theres always someone with a huge dumpster throwing things away
Hi Elysia
All your pieces turned out great. Why would someone just toss out that side table. It looks wonderful. What great projects. Leta
Wonderful job on everything. Can’t believe that someone threw out that night stand. Keep on recycling
Great makeovers!
You are the first DIY'r who I've seen go to the actual Dump! I LOVE what you do. Oh ny goodness, what an inspiration you are! So glad I found your channel.
Checkout: Our Upcycled Life- you’ll probably love her!
Awesome Good!!!!
awesome love your projects
I wish they'd still let you go to the dump. Maybe they have different rules in Nova Scotia.
Our local county dumps won't let people take stuff back out. Health hazards.
Good for u and extra $$ too!
I didn’t realize you were from Canada 🇨🇦 which area ? ..... I also just wanted to say I love that you can go to the dump and find stuff ... I’m from just outside Toronto (Hamilton) and we’re not aloud in the dump to look around 👎
Love from india🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Amazing Project ok!! 🤜🤛🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
YOU ARE GREAT !!!!
Ur doing nice job
But wear a mask 😷 while painting and doing sand paper work
Love from 🇮🇮🇳
You're so talented!
Congratulations darling on all your subs. Wishing you many many more big hugs. And as always loved your video😍
Love watching you & would love to keep watching you so please, as a lung cancer survivor please wear a respirator mask when sanding!
Love your woirk
I really do love all of your projects, but I love to paint everything on a subject, because when I pull out a drawer, I don’t wanna see the original color on the side of the drawer
I’m looking forward to your video which is coming the 17th of October, love from the Netherlands
Im hooked watching your channel
Most "dumps" in US are fenced and have security....safety first.
Belas peças!
What do you mean when you talk about adding wax? Everything looks great! Love your trash to treasure videos.
Like your fines, but I would like to know what color you used for that table? It came out very nice.
great work as usual
Do you have to sand the end table where it is white or can you use white chalk paint without sanding?
Hi! I love your projects! Can you tell me what kind of paint gun you are using and where you got it? Thanks!!
congratulation for u work

do you ever burn your wood? It really lifts up a grain and can look beautiful.
