The wood piece you were puzzling over is a napkin holder-constructed that way so that the wind doesn’t blow your napkins away if you’re dining outside on your patio. A neighbor made us one just like that-it worked beautifully.

The wooden item at the beginning is a napkin holder. Love the recycling of the records. You can easily make book ends by heating the records with hot water n then bending part of the records to 90 degrees, check you tube for instructions. I bet Elizabeth would love to do that.

For the letter “A” try nail polish remover. I’ve used that on a couple of my glass pieces and it worked

I think the wooden thing at the beginning of the video is a napkin holder. You raise the top wooden piece and put napkins under it. Can be used outside for a cookout so napkins don’t blow away. BLESSINGS!!!

Yes to the bedroom reveal! Love how Elizabeth uses the old records in her room! Love how u styled the soup tureen! Beautiful! TFS 😊

When I find things that are stained or too white for my taste, I use tea to darken them. I did that with some napkins that were my mother-in-law's even the lace around the edge looks good!

I would go with tea stain coffee can be a bit messy, tea stains you can layer better for the desired result or potentially a very light brown coloured wax but tea is probably easiest.

Hey Julie. I liked the cake riser, the star tray, the basket, the green lace cloth and the metal tray. You find such neat things. Have a good week and pet Piper for me.

Your soup tureen and that white candle set really added so much to your corner hutch! I'm so glad you decided to change it up from just the old-looking books!

Everything is beautiful as always. 💕

Love this Thrift trip! I recently found a whole set of Mikasa dishes (place settings for 8) I had been wanting, just sitting around Goodwill and I’m telling you that was my best thrift find yet. I also loved Elizabeth’s record wall!

Mar peters- I just love that you purchased another basket. It was really pretty. You always find such things. I think I have about 12, or maybe more. God bless your family and have yourself a spectacular week 🙏

Fill a small bowl with dark brewed coffee that has completely cooled. Place the book on the wax paper, then dip the sponge brush into the coffee. Begin brushing coffee onto the book pages. Remember to brush coffee onto the front and back pages as well as the sides and spine.Mar 21, 2018

Loved the fishing print. I think the potato box could be used as a trashcan also. The little blue and white pitcher you picked up at the beginning was so pretty.

Your corner hutch turned out beautiful🌿

LOVED YOUR BOOK IDEA! THE TUREEN IS BEAUTIFUL!! ELIZABETH LOOK SO EXCITED WHEN YOU SHOWED HER THE 45'S!! FUN VIDEO! WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOUR MAKEOVER TOO!! 🥰

Hi Julie, you can stain the book edges with a very light touch of very strong coffee or tea, then wipe and let dry. Don’t soak them. Just keep adding a light touch until you get the colour that you want. Always wipe after and let dry. If they wrinkle too much iron chunks and put something heavy on. Tea and coffee should give different colours. Yes please I would love to the see what you have done so far in your bedroom.

Yea I would love to see your bedroom makeover-done or not. I love to see the process!

Love that small basket it would be cute on a mantle or any were so cute

"I need that" 💕💕 Elizabeth's hair is gorgeous she's so pretty. My daughter did a record wall also. It's so cute I think. Take care 💜

I vote for seeing the bedroom makeover! None of us live in a museum after all! 😉 I’ll be looking forward to it. Also, you can tea dye the edges of those books. Brew some dark tea, pour it in a pan and stand the books on their edges to get that weathered old look.

Love the idea with records. I still have mine when I was a teen. 40 something years ago. 🤣

Hi Julie, you can “age” the book pages with old used coffee grounds and hot water, rub on with clean damp cloth, or u could leave book submerged side ways for a few minutes, I’m sure this would make the pages crinkle, but worth a try

try tea, coffee staining the edge of the books or lightly brush them with antiqueing wax or wood stain. you could also try sanding them or sand them after you color them brown to distress them. tie them together in small groups with twine.

Hi Julie! Hope's Closet is such a sweet little store. I have to admit I had to squint a little when you tore the covers off the books. I may be thinking about fabric but I know a coffee and or tea wash makes a good stain. I don't know if it works for paper. I used to stain the fabric I used to make rag dolls many many years ago. Btw I LOVE that potato bin. You could burn the word "Taters"on the front or the lid. I'd like to see a before and after pics of your bedroom. Enjoy the shopping and see ya Friday!

This is Grandma from Texas. I look for your videos and enjoy them. That wood 2piece object is a napkin holder. My son made one for me in middle school. He is nearly 40 and I still have it. We use it when we eat on the patio so the wind doesn’t blow napkins away. On aging the books you could brew some tea and dab or paint on the books to stain. It wouldn’t even hurt if some of the pages curled up a bit. I think that shelf may be one of my favorite you have done I have watched you videos for a few years now. One thing I noticed when I first started watching your videos that captivated me was, you used to pick up almost everything on the shelfs. No one else I watch does that. I don’t get out much so when I watched you shop I was able to see so much more. You don’t do it quite so much anymore but I want you to know I still love your videos I am hooked and I try to catch all of yours and your precious family. I think Elizabeth is your co-star. I just love her. She is such a beautiful young lady. She seems to be beautiful inside and out. Thank you again for sharing your life and family with us.

Yes. I need some inspiration to keep going. I just got a 1920s house 🏠. And unpacking and working the past 2 months has slowed down to a crawl. I watch several utubers.. and have found several nice pieces at thrift sites, garage sales, antique places, I even went to my first flea market... I have lost my zip... zest...drive... to put it all together.... I even started making tier trays in hopes of selling them this past weekend.. I was invited to a flea market... but sadly.. I sold one and traded 2... and ended up spending much more than I made.. but I had a great time.. and met several great people. My friend said.. tier tray decorating is new... it's hard for this crowd to see the vision.... we'll see if I stick with it. Maybe being in MN is a tough market for tier tray decorating or maybe the vintage flea market was truly the wrong crowd. Who knows.. Any rate. Watching you and your family always inspires me. Enjoy your summer and fall.!!!! Gods Blessings to you and your family!!!!
