My husband just came back from a deployment and I just wanted to say that your videos helped me through it. I don't have any family near by and your videos made me feel like I had a friend to hang out with so thank you for being authentic and making all of us feel like your friend.
Wow thank you so much I am glad he is home safe. I know exactly how that is. When my husband was in Afghanistan I was stationed away from family and it was really hard and lonely. I hope you guys have a super fun spring and summer catching up!
As a vet, wife to a vet (23+ yrs active) & mother as well to a vet, (all of us out now), I KNOW what you go through & want to say sweetie, you ARE NOT alone! You all are covered in prayers daily even by those you may not know. Please tell your husband, thank you for carrying the baton, thank him for his service... But also, thank YOU for being his spouse & major support team. It takes exceptionally strong spouses to be married to the military & other such 1st responders. Without a good support system we vets couldn't be as effective as could be. It truly does take team work both at work & at home. You serve just as much as we do, if not more, so THANK YOU! 💝🙏 always.
Thank you so much! I think that since we are both Marines we really understand each other and have the same type of work ethic. We are a "no excuses" family. Hard work pays off and we tell our kids all the time that "can't" is a bad word, and that we can do anything we set our minds to. It does take a lot of strength, but it is always worth it.
You're becoming one of my new favourites. I like your format where you thrift and then upcycle and your winsome down to earth way is so refreshing...not over the top just nice to listen to.
I rec'vd the set of Disney books as a child @ Christmas. It was actually a Boxed Set & there is a 4th book to complete your set called "Stories From Other Lands" . It has the same deep green cover with a bright yellow spine and bag pipes as a symbol. The Box itself is the same deep green with a label.
It's wonderful that you encouraged your daughter's enthusiasm. You could tell by the way she attacked the tray with that polish. that she was excited to transform it. LOL I have collected tarnished silver trays and platters for about 40 years. They go in and out of style, but not for me. I use them all over my house and give them a light polish sometimes, but always try to keep the patina intact as much as possible. So, you can guess where I'm headed here... I wanted you to keep it tarnished, but then I saw what you did to it, and WOW! I think you really upped the chic factor. I love the paint and I didn't think I would. I wonder how it might look if you did a coat of antiquing wax to bring out the carved details.
I appreciate that you price your items affordably. It's best to move items quickly and not hold onto them a long time. I saw a lady on TH-cam refinishing set of candleholders. She painted and waxed them. Later I saw them on Mercari for 125.00. I'd say she may still have them. Always love your projects.
I absolutely love your flips and I think it’s wonderful that your daughter enjoys vintage items❤. That lamp is stunning and I have no doubt you will get it figured out❤
Books !! I had to store all of my books at my brothers, just got them back, today.. 10 boxes with 6 to go.. I am so excited to have them back.. I do so much, with them.. risers, backdrops etc. I always read to my children.. just got through reading a book to my 52 yr old daughter. It usually starts with me laughing out loud and being asked, what’s so funny? Next thing you know, we’re a chapter in and she’s hooked 😉My daughter lives two doors down, and will come over before bedtime for our story time.. I love it ❤️
Your videos just keep getting better and better! I can tell you are getting better with editing and filming. All your hard work shows! Also, your hair and blouse combo looks really pretty, and also professional and stylish. Cute!
Thank you so much Leslie. Editing is the worst part of doing youtube haha. I appreciate you noticing that. Also all my clothes I get second hand on thredup. I put a referral link in the description box. It might give you a discount but honestly they always have really good discount codes on their home page when you go on their website anyway. I'm not sponsored I just really like to get my clothes there because I know which clothing brands fit me well like American eagle high rise jeans but I can't afford them new haha. And the shirts I buy are usually like 5 or 6 bucks. I just set the sizd and colors I want and then change it to show me prices low to high and buy the cheap stuff. It's name brand stuff
That lamp! I seriously gasped. It’s so gorgeous 😍 Even though I can tell it’s unique and not a common find, it still broke my heart a little when you said it and confirmed that 😂 I’m sad that I’ll likely never find one similar to yours.
Love your ideas. Beautiful pieces. Just a tip, pour your paint into separate container when using additives ie., baking soda, etc. Dipping brush into container may contaminate all your paint. ❤
Hi Cory it's Ange from England. Love the items you upcycled today. The colour is amazing. I did like the lamp shame the glass was missing. How I wish I lived over there as I certainly would shop in your booth. .Love to you and the family. Take care catch you next time. Xx
The coffee pot is adorable. You could also put flowers around the bottom and set a small moss filled dish with a candle on it on the top. You gave me so many ideas by putting these two pieces together.
Have you ever watched Jami Ray and Zeb? They have a shop and they shop at the Bins and thrift stores. They also have paper and paint etc. on their website. I'm so sorry for your bad day you were having. But so glad that you had a viewer that cheered you up.🎉We love you Corey, take time for yourself sweet lady🎉😂❤
And, Jami and Zeb curated the Cottage Colors. Crockery that you used was created to mimic actual crocks. They have new colors coming out soon. They are amazing.
I have a platter just like that. I display my antique liquor bottles. I thought your platters tag said silver plate, that's why it pitted. I love the aged look. I agree with the hairspray. Love your style.
My mom has so many paper back books with ideas for painting your own projects but they are all out of print so I'm anticipating using the black & white prints as well as the colored examples for multiple projects
Loved this video. Lots of interesting finds! Dont forget about the rechargeable light bulbs in case you do run across a lamp thats not fixable. I love them when i dont have a plug in close to where i want my lamp too!
I am so sorry you painted it.The cleaning of this tray was awesome. I cleaned over 1,000 rings that my mother and I bought at an estate sale, I like your daughter found it so enjoyable. I am so sad that you could not see the imperfection as part of the tray's history and the life cycle it has gone through. To me the polish with the damage was BEAUTIFUL. It's your project, not mine
If it were for me to keep I would feel that way as well. Since I was not keeping it, it would take forever to sell with those imperfections or not sell at all. At the end of the day I have to do what's best for the piece to find its new home.
I would have bought it polished or not. But, never would I buy silver painted. I think that was trending a few years ago. To each his own preference, but not mine.
Spray the moss with rubbing alcohol to break the surface tension. Then spray with watered down white glue or Mod Podge. It'll hold forever. I do about 3 parts water to 1 part white glue.
My advise… I’ve been thinking about this on pretty much every video. I truly hope with all the great books on things that you find, you are keeping back the best (or special) ones for yourself. Even when your kids outgrow them because when they have kids of their own, they will love that you kept that. My grands love the things that I kept from my kids (their parents,lol) and they also have toys that my mama kept that were mine!! Tell me they didn’t make toys that could stand the test of time!! Lol… Toy, books, ornaments anything that would have made a memory. You won’t regret it!! Even if you’re tempted to throw them out because you have moved or wagged that tote a million times and it’s in your way….the moment you see your grand babies playing with them, this flood of wonderful memories come flooding back and your heart is filled and overflowing…❤❤❤
That’s a great lamp. It looks like a Tiffany knock off. I think you could get a good price for it. The rewrite did the trick. 💕💕 Your husband is a keeper. He seems to be able to turn his hand to anything.
Oh my! I had the set of those Disney books! My brother and I used to read those over and over! I’ll have to ask my mom if she saved them! So great you found 3/4 of them. There may have been more but we had 4 in a holder that held the 4 together! Such a great memory! So glad you found those to hopefully share with other kids/adults!!! ❤
Creative and clever projects. Side note: You can actually remove the extra louvers from the stack at the bottom of your window blinds where you staged your projects. It will give your blinds a more custom look.
Hello! I have to admit when you started painting the tray after all the hard work of getting it so beautifully shiny, I was thinking “NO! DON’T PAINT IT!!!” But then when you were finished I was like “ That’s Gorgeous!!” Lol That lamp is beautiful. You did a good job on all of these. Thank you for sharing
That lamp is simply amazing! I need to live where you do because I never find as good of thrifted items as you do and you do a great job giving them new life.
I have a few silver-plated items. Always polish plate less frequently than sterling, because ultimately the plating will wear off from polishing. Also try simmering with baking soda in an aluminum pan, or with aluminum foil in a regular pot. No scrubbing!
Hi, I just found you & will add to your subscribers. You have great ideas & are very creative. As for the Disney books, I still have my original set I was given back in the 60s. I was born in '62 & received them for my 5th birthday. There are 4 to the set and each spine was a primary color.
Just a bit of info that you might find helpful, if that's o.k. ... Rogers is always just silver plate, so the older the piece is, the thinner the plate has become. Many years of industrious polishing takes the silver away. I do love your videos ... Especially the furniture flip challenges ... Thanks so much for sharing your talent & hard work with us!
I love the cottage colors from DIY. Just so you know, the cottage colors have a built in sealer. You don't have to seal it with wax. The regular clay based DIY paint needs to be sealed! Great job on all your flips!
The tray is William & Roger's, which is silver plated, and the yellow flowers are called Yellow Bells, that bloom on bushes. I have huge bushes of them blooming in my yard right now! Great upcycling!
Your book of animals, I buy older books with black and neutral backgrounds, cut the photos out, and add soft highlights of watered down paint (sparingly) to add just a blush of color and frame them. Takes minimal paint.
Ohh wow,we had those Disney books back in the sixties when we were kids! Also I have the " Cottage style "book in my collection, you find some real treasures at your Goodwill!
As a child the Walt Disney books were the first books I learned to read, there are 4, the one you are missing is the yellow book and the case the books came in. My favorite was briar rabbit.
Hi Cory! omg I love that lamp! I’ve never seen anything like it! 💕 Fantastic find! Love the framed blue flowers print too - SO pretty. All great finds and pretty vignette as usual!
Love the color you did in your projects today. Awesome books you lucked up on in the bins. Thank you for your uptake on paint brand. I've always wanted to try that one but hadn't yet. Have a Blessed week.
Hi Cory, I’m sorry I missed your live today, but I was forced to spend the day with my two delicious grandchildren🤣❤️. All I can say about the Art Nouveau lamp is WOW. I collect Art Nouveau jewelry, items for the home, art work…basically anything from the era. That lamp is worth a lot of money even without the glass, which someone can have cut for the shade if they really think it’s necessary. Adding the frame to that print really enhanced it’s value. I always too forward to your videos…..I love your formate of thrifting followed by the DIY. Hope you have a good few days, and I’ll try to catch you on Wednesday. 🥰
The problem with replacing the glass on a lamp like this is that it needs to be curved to follow the contour of the shade. Then the accomodations screw onto each panel to hold them in. The glass is probably the most expensive part of the lamp, depending on the colors you choose.
So many beautiful projects! I think a decoupaged botanical would be pretty on the silver tray. (Like John Derian) I was sorry about what happened with the lamp after you worked so hard to rewire it. I really enjoy the projects and the shopping that inspires the pieces.
Pro tip... Look at how branches are bent in nature and bend your yellow flowers just a little bit....but, I love what you did with the tall yellow flowers!❤ You are such an inspiration! Thank you!!!
For the lamp, I would try replacing the missing glass with antiqued velum paper or rice paper. The art stores have some gorgeous hand made rice papers with florals or greenery in them.
Good job on the lamp & I think the crisp new shade & its style is pretty for the lamp. I don't care for that finish on the brackets, plain white would be prettier to display a lovely plate or vase , etc. on, or a burnished wood look would be very versatily as well. I like the planter, bird & vine table candle holders r very cute. The pics with Frames turned out nicely as well, love the gold flecked vase with the boxwood ball is really cute! Good ideas!
I just love your projects. I really wish you would list some of them for sale to your subscribers. I've seen so many things that I would like to buy. You're awesome!
I loved polishing mom's silver when I was a teen. If you find you don't like it when it's finished, you can retarnish it by spreading mayonnaise on it and leave it for a few days.
Ogladam Twój kanał od niedawna.Jesteś cudowna,kreatywna i bardzo pogodna. Zrobiłam subskrypcję Twojego kanału i będę zachwycać się twoimi małymi dziełami sztuki.Pozdrawiam z Polski ❤

Was pregnant with my 1st child when my husband was sent to Vietnam. He actually left on my 19th birthday.
Trista that is the sweetest sentiment I’ve ever heard what a sweet lady you are .
You're becoming one of my new favourites. I like your format where you thrift and then upcycle and your winsome down to earth way is so refreshing...not over the top just nice to listen to.
Wow, thank you! I am honored
What you did with that tray is GENIUS!
Thank you!!
I love little chubby hands helping.
They're the best.
I came to say the same thing
OMG, what you did to that silver tray was beautiful. I loved it.
What a good Mom.
Thank you Ann
Absolutely love the lamp! And how you and your husband lovingly save these beauties! And save our Earth while doing so!
Thank you so much
Love watching you diy each product you purchase. The tray turned out beautifully! Such talent God has blessed you with. ❤
Thank you!
Love how you wove the floral details rather than just create a center floral arrangement. Good economical use of florals
I never would have thought of using baking soda to make a rough finish. Love that idea!
Seen on afew others.....it's a new thingie
I rec'vd the set of Disney books as a child @ Christmas. It was actually a Boxed Set & there is a 4th book to complete your set called "Stories From Other Lands" . It has the same deep green cover with a bright yellow spine and bag pipes as a symbol. The Box itself is the same deep green with a label.
I really enjoy watching you put together your vignettes each video
Thank you Cheryl!

I'm so glad you liked it. Great idea
I love to pick up patina'd silver. I use it as is everywhere. It's a specially great in fall but I just love the moodiness that it gives
I totally agree!
I appreciate that you price your items affordably. It's best to move items quickly and not hold onto them a long time. I saw a lady on TH-cam refinishing set of candleholders. She painted and waxed them. Later I saw them on Mercari for 125.00. I'd say she may still have them. Always love your projects.
Holy moly! Yes I'd rather my items move quickly too.
I think you should raise prices a bit. Pay yourself a living wage.
Love the frame you made for the lavender print! Thanks again for another enjoyable video Cory!
I absolutely love your flips and I think it’s wonderful that your daughter enjoys vintage items❤. That lamp is stunning and I have no doubt you will get it figured out❤
Thank you so much!
Every Texas home needs a Bluebonnet picture! Love it!
Haha yes

I might have to check them out again. I've looked in the past, but I'm a size 18/20 and didn't find much.
I like the idea of sealing the moss with ultra hold hairspray
I wonder if you could use spray shellac to hold the moss together?
I love old story books- it comes from my Granny reading to me.♥️ I miss her all the time.
Thank you for rescuing those. Love your outtakes!
Thank you. I can relate. My granny was the same for me too
Loved all the flips, but the canvas you framed and the silver tray are my favorites.
Thank you Dianna
I always did the silver for my mom, I still love it
The lamp is fabulous even without the glass! Loved everything❤
Thank you Julie
It’s wonderful that your husband helps you!!!😊
Thank you Pauline. He is great
That lamp! I seriously gasped. It’s so gorgeous 😍 Even though I can tell it’s unique and not a common find, it still broke my heart a little when you said it and confirmed that 😂 I’m sad that I’ll likely never find one similar to yours.
Awww I'm sorry
I love tarnished silver-so much variety in the resulting patina👍
True!
Love your ideas. Beautiful pieces. Just a tip, pour your paint into separate container when using additives ie., baking soda, etc. Dipping brush into container may contaminate all your paint. ❤
True! Good point
Omg I would have never thought to paint that tray. It looks beautiful!!!
Thank you Melissa
I think younger viewers and younger people will love the painted tray..I am older but I love it painted..u did a great job.
Hi Cory it's Ange from England. Love the items you upcycled today. The colour is amazing. I did like the lamp shame the glass was missing. How I wish I lived over there as I certainly would shop in your booth. .Love to you and the family. Take care catch you next time. Xx
Thanks so much! 😊 if I ever get to visit England I'll bring you some goodies haha
WOW !!! The frame made a HUGE difference
I’m with your daughter. Polishing silver is fun!
The coffee pot is adorable. You could also put flowers around the bottom and set a small moss filled dish with a candle on it on the top. You gave me so many ideas by putting these two pieces together.
Wm Rogers tray is gorgeous, I'm the odd duck who loves silver polished! I'd use it as a "riser" and place items over the bad spots.
Great idea
I like silver platters stacked, very impactful
Have you ever watched Jami Ray and Zeb? They have a shop and they shop at the Bins and thrift stores. They also have paper and paint etc. on their website. I'm so sorry for your bad day you were having. But so glad that you had a viewer that cheered you up.🎉We love you Corey, take time for yourself sweet lady🎉😂❤
Thank you so much Dianna! I have watched them. I wish I had more time to watch more
And, Jami and Zeb curated the Cottage Colors. Crockery that you used was created to mimic actual crocks. They have new colors coming out soon. They are amazing.
The silver tray at the beginning is awesome!! Can't wait to do this for myself! So pretty!!
Silver tray would look beautiful with a mirror added to it also ... Loved your video ... Thank you ... ❤
Great idea!!
I have a platter just like that. I display my antique liquor bottles. I thought your platters tag said silver plate, that's why it pitted. I love the aged look. I agree with the hairspray. Love your style.
My mom has so many paper back books with ideas for painting your own projects but they are all out of print so I'm anticipating using the black & white prints as well as the colored examples for multiple projects
Loved this video. Lots of interesting finds! Dont forget about the rechargeable light bulbs in case you do run across a lamp thats not fixable. I love them when i dont have a plug in close to where i want my lamp too!
Great tip!
I am so sorry you painted it.The cleaning of this tray was awesome. I cleaned over 1,000 rings that my mother and I bought at an estate sale, I like your daughter found it so enjoyable. I am so sad that you could not see the imperfection as part of the tray's history and the life cycle it has gone through. To me the polish with the damage was BEAUTIFUL. It's your project, not mine

My daughter also liked cleaning trays. I used black chalkpaint it could used for seasonal signs with white chalk. Like happy birthday etc
I would have bought it polished or not. But, never would I buy silver painted. I think that was trending a few years ago. To each his own preference, but not mine.
I thought the sticker/tag said silver plate.
Love the books you found, wow! The mammals bok is amazing. Nice vignette, looked very nice!
Thank you so much Emma
Spray the moss with rubbing alcohol to break the surface tension. Then spray with watered down white glue or Mod Podge. It'll hold forever. I do about 3 parts water to 1 part white glue.
My advise… I’ve been thinking about this on pretty much every video. I truly hope with all the great books on things that you find, you are keeping back the best (or special) ones for yourself.

That's wonderful advice
Love the finds...the tray is beautiful, but the lavender canvas print is gorgeous!
Thank you Linda!
That’s a great lamp. It looks like a Tiffany knock off. I think you could get a good price for it. The rewrite did the trick. 💕💕 Your husband is a keeper. He seems to be able to turn his hand to anything.
Oh my! I had the set of those Disney books! My brother and I used to read those over and over! I’ll have to ask my mom if she saved them! So great you found 3/4 of them. There may have been more but we had 4 in a holder that held the 4 together! Such a great memory! So glad you found those to hopefully share with other kids/adults!!! ❤
how cool!!!! They sold in my booth today for 9.95 each
Congratulations! That’s such a great price!
I had those Disney books growing up!! So, 1965 was the year my younger brother was born and I believe he still has them.
I also had that book set in the early 60s. I still have a couple of them, although they have been well loved.
how awesome!
We loved them also. They are a set of 4.
Just a FYI. If you mist the back of the canvas with water it will tighten the canvas and won't be so floppy
Great tip. It works!
Creative and clever projects. Side note: You can actually remove the extra louvers from the stack at the bottom of your window blinds where you staged your projects. It will give your blinds a more custom look.
Yes one day

Thank you so much Cin!
Great haul on books!! The lantern looks so pretty!! Wonderful print that you found too!!
Thank you Caroline
Love all the pieces! The lamp is beautiful!! ❤
Thank you! 🤗
I love the cottage colors from DIY. Just so you know, the cottage colors have a built in sealer. You don't have to seal it with wax. The regular clay based DIY paint needs to be sealed! Great job on all your flips!
Thank you for letting me know!
You are so wise to be open to learning from others!
Yes, use hairspray to keep the moss from shedding. Works every time for me. Just spray shake it and spray a final time. Love your DIY’s.
I will try it!
We had that Walt Disney book set when I was a kid. I'm sure they're still at my parents' house. Thanks for the flashback!
The tray is William & Roger's, which is silver plated, and the yellow flowers are called Yellow Bells, that bloom on bushes. I have huge bushes of them blooming in my yard right now! Great upcycling!
Thanks for the info!
In ky we call the yellow flower, forsynthia. They grow on bushes. I have several in my yard as a natural fence. ❤
I’ve never heard them called yellow bells. We call the Forsythia in Georgia, too.
"The Secret Garden" book would look great staged with plants, pots, and gardening tools. 🌱🪻
Great idea!!
Wow I love the finish on the tray❤ I am so enjoying how you choose your items to complete a vingnet!
Great haul, again! I just love the way you flip them and set them together. Thanks for sharing your ideas, Cory ❤
Thank you so much Gina

We had those Disney books growing up. They should be about 59 years old. I love the lamp and the platter and picture looks great.
Thank you!
Hi Cory, I’m sorry I missed your live today, but I was forced to spend the day with my two delicious grandchildren🤣❤️. All I can say about the Art Nouveau lamp is WOW. I collect Art Nouveau jewelry, items for the home, art work…basically anything from the era. That lamp is worth a lot of money even without the glass, which someone can have cut for the shade if they really think it’s necessary. Adding the frame to that print really enhanced it’s value. I always too forward to your videos…..I love your formate of thrifting followed by the DIY. Hope you have a good few days, and I’ll try to catch you on Wednesday. 🥰
Thank you so much Julie! Kids are always more important than anything else. Glad you spent quality time with them.
The problem with replacing the glass on a lamp like this is that it needs to be curved to follow the contour of the shade. Then the accomodations screw onto each panel to hold them in. The glass is probably the most expensive part of the lamp, depending on the colors you choose.
I look to just look at decor books. The books had beautiful covers! Also, the forsythia looked great!
Thank you Donna
So many beautiful projects! I think a decoupaged botanical would be pretty on the silver tray. (Like John Derian) I was sorry about what happened with the lamp after you worked so hard to rewire it.
I really enjoy the projects and the shopping that inspires the pieces.
Thank you Kelly. Great idea
That lamp is so beautiful
Thank you
My family had those Disney books. There was a set of four. I loved those books and read them to my younger siblings!
How awesome
That was a great way to refurb a silverplated tray!
Pro tip... Look at how branches are bent in nature and bend your yellow flowers just a little bit....but, I love what you did with the tall yellow flowers!❤ You are such an inspiration! Thank you!!!
Great tip. Thank you
so clever and creative
Thanks Janet!
For the lamp, I would try replacing the missing glass with antiqued velum paper or rice paper. The art stores have some gorgeous hand made rice papers with florals or greenery in them.
Cool idea!
You bring delight to your viewers friend. This week especially loved painted tray.
Thank you Freida!
Beautifully cohesive vignette!! And what a worthwhile trip to the bins!!!
Thanks so much! 😊
Good job on the lamp & I think the crisp new shade & its style is pretty for the lamp. I don't care for that finish on the brackets, plain white would be prettier to display a lovely plate or vase , etc. on, or a burnished wood look would be very versatily as well. I like the planter, bird & vine table candle holders r very cute. The pics with Frames turned out nicely as well, love the gold flecked vase with the boxwood ball is really cute! Good ideas!
Loved the tray idea thank you wish I would’ve picked up the last one I saw even more now lol…next time i will
It looks gorgeous you and your daughter did a great job.
I just love your projects. I really wish you would list some of them for sale to your subscribers. I've seen so many things that I would like to buy. You're awesome!
I will soon Sherri!
I LOVE DIY paint. It’s my favorite. OMG, that lamp is perfection!
Thank you!! 😊
I love, love, LOVE that art deco lamp!!!!
I loved polishing mom's silver when I was a teen.
If you find you don't like it when it's finished, you can retarnish it by spreading mayonnaise on it and leave it for a few days.
Madame vous avez fait de belles découvertes et vous avez fait un excellent travail dans la transformation de ses choses felicitation ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much! I am so happy that you like it
I LOVE that lamp! I'd pay $100 for it even without the glass!
WOW! That is really awesome
Haha. I had that cottage style book when it was first published! That lamp is gorgeous!
I love it!
