Solving Your 12 Toughest DIY Thrift Flip Challenges
In this video, I upcycle/repurpose 12 thrift store decor items posted by viewers to the Canterbury Cottage Facebook Group Page. A vintage pattern becomes a decoupaged design for a sewing themed lamp, ceiling fan blades become a giant dragonfly for outdoor decor, ceiling fan brackets and old curtain rods become metal yard art, a wood sewing basket gets a reverse Mod Podge label and container for rolling pins, hobnail milk glass lamp shades become vases for faux florals, a silver carafe stand becomes a unique candle stand, a wood match holder becomes a wall pocket for greenery and a bird’s nest, a wood box with dowel rod becomes a small twine dispenser and sewing center, a shadow box becomes eclectic wall art, an angel food cake pan gets a rolling pin pedestal and becomes a bowl for K-cups, a plant, or utensils, a glass candle shade and a curtain rod become an outdoor light, a two-drawer cabinet gets a reverse Mod Podge label and becomes a container for coffee and tea, and an outdated canister gets an easy makeover to coordinate with neutral decor.

Well... in my opinion you met & exceeded the challenge expectations! While you were making that dragonfly the fan blades looked like chair slates 💡
All the projects were lovely. Please continue making them cause it gives us ideas with stuff in our stashes .❤️🇨🇦
Great video Sherry! I would be excited to see more like this, maybe several times a year. I particularly liked the milk glass, matchbox, and sewing lamp.
YES!!! I loved the Angel Food cake pan with cups in it, I really liked them all!!!
Sherri You are the best transformer/ upcycler ever. I have watched many on KZread, but you take the cake. Also, you explain your process very well.
Oh my gosh I love every one of your projects! As a sewer I want the two pattern pieces for my sewing room! I just came across shooting medals of my Dad’s and want to do a shadow box! Love the match box, I must make one! The angel food cake pan is to die for! On and on EVERY one is delightful as are you! Congratulations lovely lady!
Especially loved the small cracker box and 2 drawer cupboard. I must try that technique!! Love watching you up cycle thrift finds…you have a incredible imagination!! Thank you. 😊🌷🙏
What can I say ------ LOVE - LOVE - LOVE !!!!! More please
My favorites are the tulip flowers and the dragonfly. So imaginative!
Love this Sherrie!!! I especially liked the sewing cabinet, it was adorable! Your creativity never let's us down!!💙💛💜💚
Girl, you knocked it out of the park! Talent abounds you! 👏🏻👏🏻💕
Sherry, each week with you is an adventure in creativity and ingenuity. Kudos to you for keeping us coming back for more wonderful of your wonderful projects. Who would have thought to use the ceiling fan blades as dragon fly wings? Sherry would! Adorable. 🙂

Just love it all. You are the queen of lamp make-overs!!
I loved this video so much I watched it twice!!! So many great ideas. You are so talented. The sewing box,match holder, and dragon fly. We’re my favorite but I loved all of your projects. Please do more of these videos. Along with your regular wonderful videos. Your simply the best!!! Congrats on the award. You definitely deserve it. TFS
Loved the theme of this video and hope you do it again! The ceiling fan-turned-dragonfly-and-yard-art was SO creative. You are an amazing creator!
So many creative ideas. I just love the dragonfly... Fabulous!! Thank you Sherry!
Terrific viewing! Lots of fun.
I just took down two old ceiling fans and now I know what to do with the blades! What an outstanding, clever and beautiful dragonfly creation!
Sherry, you are so clever! I really love the sewing kit and the coffee drawers! Everything was great so I can't say I wouldn't love to have them all. Yes continue with this type of projects. God Blessings
Absolutely more of these videos, Sherry! I love this. This way we keep each other inspired. You did great on all of these, but i gotta tell ya, now im going to be looking for angel food pans and good bases. I also loved the milk glass and the box with the dowel rod that you put twine on. But, they were all great. They were great because you are. Thanks for keeping so many inspired in awesome new ways.

Hello Jan, how are you doing
This was absolutely enjoyable this afternoon as I wasn’t feeling the best and it’s rainy here and you just brighten my day with all of your clever ideas. Many people are unable to have a vision for something we’re just throw them away and it just breaks my heart. You are such and encouragement to those individuals who want to just throw things away and also to those who want to change things up!!!I loved just about everything you did and it would have been happy to put it in my home. When I moved 6 years ago to a new complex for seniors over 55 and it was done modern style and I was very foolish and got rid of many antiques. However there is a few that I kept but I cannot quite figure out how to incorporate them into my white and gray decor but you have now helped me figure a lot of that out and I thank you for that. I’m an artist and an interior designer but often times it’s like the saying “the cobbler‘s children go without shoes”, And for many reasons that I will not list I find it hard to have a cohesiveness in my home. I’m excited to begin starting to make changes in the things I have but also no that it’s OK to put a new face left on an old “goody”!!!
Brilliant ideas, thank you for sharing Sherry! I especially love the upcycled "sewing" lamp.
I can't even decide which one I liked best, everything turned out amazing.
I don’t think you’ve done anything I didn’t like. You definitely have a gift for seeing what can be in things. Thanks for the inspiration.
Hi Sherry! As always I love your inspiring ideas! The dragonfly is clever & my favorite was the shadow box because I have a few in my stash and you gave me the nudge I needed to create one with my Mom’s keepsakes ❤️. Thank you for sharing!!
This was very interesting. So many times I just stuck trying to get a project to turn out right,or have a vision for the project. Loved your ideas
I think you should host a weekly “short” - a competition “Stump Sherry” with thrift items - I don’t think any of us will but what fun to try!!
Your talent to take anything most people would just throw out amazes me ! You turn it into beautiful pieces for the house! You truly inspire me to look at things so differently now !
Sherry, you’re so creative!! Love your ‘sewing’ lamp!😍
Great video as usual, Sherry! Just love how you took the time to help out folks with “their” flip projects! I, for one, would LOVE to see more of this type of video every now and then! Imagine my surprise to see you do something with silver plate carafe bases. I have two of these that I put clear generic floral vases in them and used to hold fresh cut flowers. My vases go to the bottom of the bases to make sure the flower arrangements don’t tip over. But I will be looking for other options to change them for candles too now. Your videos always brighten up my Tuesday mornings. Until next Tuesday, have a great week!

I think the cut glass bowl in the carafe stand would be a gorgeous fish bowl! And the Angel Food Cake pan is ingenious!
Fantastic as always!! Would love to see what the milk glass "vase" on the candle stand would look like with a candle in it. Love all your projects. And please give us an update on the fire.
Hi Sherry…I loved everything you made and appreciate you using items you have on hand rather than buying from a store and then remaking them…Also, I like the fact that these items are usable for years to come…I would like to see more of these shows added to your regular videos…They are all interesting, and I learn something from each segment…Thank you for sharing your amazing talent and knowledge with us…I always anxiously await your newest video…😊

Being a “sewer” it mortified me to see what you did with those patterns! I must say though I did like the end result so I console myself by thinking you used patterns that there were already missing pieces!🥰

Sherry you are just fantastic. Live the dragonfly. All your other projects just as beautiful as usual.
Today's videos was awesome. I love that you answered and created items that your watchers sent you as much as you could with your own items.

I love what you did with the milk glass shades. Very clever! And those are some things everyone sees at stores but never knows what to do with. I love the style of this video and someone else commented to do this in more videos even if its just one item a time. I think that's a great idea!
Brilliant!! Especially the use of the ceiling fans! Continue using the hard wear as Mermaid Tails!
