So happy you survived Beryl with minimum damage. Up here in the Tyler area we had lots of rain and some wind. Loved your video today! It was so nice to follow your shopping at the Goodwill bins. You got some awesome decor items. Be safe and stay cool. 🤗

I agree, the longer the better. Thanks for asking. Also, I would take the pad off of the chair so they can see the beautiful cane work.

I would keep the wreath hanger. It's so versatile you could change the wreath at any time for any season

I definitely prefer longer videos with many projects rather than short videos with few projects.

Do the triple drawer bedside unit to match the blue. Keep the blue lamps and mirrors. Very attractive with the bed head. Put the cute chair in the modern Monet room with a Monet inspired cushion cover. The happy yellow painting will be perfect in the modern Monet room. You find great stuff. The child’s bench would be a lovely plant riser.

Thank you for letting us know about how you weathered the storm. You definitely were surrounded by “whomping willows”! Glad you are all safe and have just clean-up rather than major damage or flooding. Since this is just the beginning of the hurricane season it may be a good idea (if you can budget it in) to have a trusted arborist remove those branches and check for any other damaged ones that may come down in the next storms and have them removed. My parents did that since we have tornadoes pass through our area and our trees have fared so much better in consequent high windstorms. It was worth the investment for peace of mind and house protection. The trick is always in the budget. Looking forward to seeing you again under sunny skies ❤

Thank you Heather. We are going to get a quote to remove 10 trees from our property in hopes that it will prevent anything happening in future storms that might be worse. Might have to take out a loan to do it but it's better than them destroying our home and not having a place to live for months waiting for insurance

That little table would be gorgeous with dark wax on it!

For your guest bedroom, I would paint the second dresser blue, keep the blue lamps, but get one or two pretty books in the color of your choice, besides blue, to put under each lamp. That would give you a distinction between the blue lamp and the blue nightstand that you need. I love all of your videos.

First, I am glad you and your family are safe. Living in FL, I know what these hurricanes can do! I would keep the mirrored tray and the sunflower picture for your room. Just an idea: I think because the nightstand came out so fabulous, I would pain the other nightstand the same! I love having two different night tables and then have matching lamps. You did a great job finding all of those items, and I cannot wait to see your next trash to treasure! Have a great day!

Well I am no help😂 because I totally think you should keep that bench it looks so cute for fall decor. The pumpkins totally transform the wreath ❤ the table cloth is absolutely gorgeous

That little pew bench would make a wonderful addition at the foot of the bed in a childs room.❤

Loved everything you did today. I especially like the nightstand , it’s inspired me to do something with mine. Years ago when my husband and I downsized ,we thrifted two dressers, two nightstands and a headboard. I painted all of them Swiss coffee. The walls are a pretty light blue so painting the nightstands blue would look good. I like both long and short videos of yours

So glad you and your family are doing ok after the hurricane! Thanks goodness for generators! I appreciate the long video with all of the good thrifting and flipping. Take care and good luck with cleanup!

I think the Christmas tree is for Christmas, the only thing I would use for fall in the items is maybe the pine cone. Loved the wreath hanging frame! Gorgeous! The painting sitting on the "easel", very cute. 😊

Light and faucet are beautiful! And the curtain rod is perfect! Awesome! BLESSINGS!!!

The pinecone can be both Fall and Christmas. Love it.

I didn’t realize you were in Houston. My bestie lives in Conroe. They lost a couple of trees and a portion of their fence from their back yard, but are safe and their house wasn’t damaged, so that’s a really good thing! I really glad you are all okay!

Years ago on HGTV I saw a person who worked on furniture using a table they made by starting with a circular card table, adding a turntable, and adding another circular piece of wood on top. It enabled them to work without having to squat down or keep turning the furniture piece manually. I think something like that could help save your back in the long run. I love your videos and how you transform things so beautifully! Barb in Cali

You did such a great job on all of your flips. Your talent keeps multiplying. I loved this video, so many cute things. If that little kids bench doesn't sell maybe paint it the same blue color that you painted those dressers last month. You hit the jackpot at the Good Will bins for sure!!

I absolutely love the bright Daisy picture!💛🩵💚🩷💜

I saw a mirror technique for antique mirrors that had the reflective coating peeling or qorn off. You sand off some of the back coating in random wear patches, then decoupage your old paper or tissue paper to the back. That way it peeks through the mirror. It's Very Cool looking. That mirror tray would be perfect to try that technique on!! It hides the glass imperfections. And it's easier to dust/ clean than regular decoupage.

Beautiful projects and flips, and Thank god you are safe. Hugs 😍

The pine cone in this video can most definitely be used for fall/ winter! I think natural pine cones overall can be used any time of year as a nature element. I have a bunch in an old wood bucket sitting on the fronch porch under a barnwood bench. I wld like to turn all these pine cones into a wreath at some point but have no idea where to begin with that.

Happy you survived the hurricane so well, even with the cleanup.

I think the pinecones are transitional. They can be either fall or Christmas decor depending use and staging or both if not permanently attached to something. Love the side table. I think you should add just a touch of the gold to the details to bring in the hardware color, imo. Love watching when I have a chance. ❤

More is always better. If a video is longer than the free time I have then I just revisit. Ty!!!

Cory you never fail to amaze me with your creativity!

I would add a tiny bit of gold brush on to the little nightstand raised pieces in the middle of the door. There’s a metal handle up above and a metal pull on the door. Just seems like a little hint of gold or brass on the raised wooden pieces would cause the eye to follow three highlights instead of two. Love your voice and your happy attitude.
