They match the pattern on the lamp, but they are more “ moth. Like!” ! Oh my ! Love it!!!

Cory, I’ve been trying to think who you remind me of. It came to me today. A young Mary Stuart Masterson. You are too young to know who she is. Maybe some in the comments will know xxx

*@misslannie73...you are SO right...Cory DOES resemble a 20-something Mary Stuart Masterson‼️😳🤪🤣 I have been trying to think of who Cory reminded me of, too❣️ My favorite movie that Mary Stuart Masterson is in? It's "Fried Green Tomatoes" - and I noticed Cory has the same quirky smile and sense of humor Mary has - especially in the food fight scene with Mary-Louise Parker❣️🤣🤣🤣 Cory, I think you would L💚VE that movie 🎬 because Jessica Tandy, Cicely Tyson and Kathy Bates are also in it. 😉 It's a very charming story about the old South, but it doesn't hide all of the terrible injustices against blacks and women while the story is told. The parking lot scene with Kathy Bates is HILARIOUS‼️🤣🤣🤣👍🏼*

Dang. The realization that someone might be too young to not know Benny & Joon just made me feel absolutely ancient 😂😂 And I think Cory is right around my age. 😮

Hi Cory! Loved this video. Your eclectic style works! I remember those metal lamps from my childhood. My Mom had great taste and style. Most of her 60's decor is so popular now! If only we saved all this stuff! Hope your summer is going well. Always look forward to your stuff; I've caught up with every video!! Stay awesome!

Cozy country cottage. I imagine this on a covered porch with white rocking chairs, sipping sweet tea. Lovely ❤

Love those chicken plates. My 85 yr old mom and I started giving each other chicken decor as a joke a couple decades ago (I don’t even remember how it started) … but jokes on me because I now adore chicken decor. 😅

Well done Cory! You have discovered a new desigh style...vintage cottage '70s...i like it !!!!! Mix and match for ever😇

Hi Cory! I loved the way you repaired the lamp. 👍 The pattern enhanced the style of the lamp, and the contrast of light and dark in the paper really showed well when the light was on. You are knocking it out of the park with each new video. I can’t believe how you transformed the bookcase! 😯 The decor was summer camp/summer country to me. It has a fun, lighthearted feel to it. Lastly, you are looking great with the weight loss! Way to go! 👏😊❤🙏

So great to see what you put together and how you transform old pieces to give them a new life. Love that lamp. It reminds me of a childhood wall lamp that I had as a child - all metal too. Though deep pink in colour. It now lives in a little alcove bed with bougainvillaea coloured walls.

Oh, yum.

I don’t feel farmhouse, but I do feel summer cottage at the lake. Often summer cottages had a collection of random older things that people brought from their city homes that were unused. They filled the cottages with these random mismatched dishes, silverware, glasses, furniture, rugs, blankets, curtains, etc. not being used in their homes any longer. It had a very relaxed, unfussy feel where you didn’t have to be so careful of things. It was for summer play and carefree times.

What a nice change for the shelf unit Cory!! Everything goes nicely together!! I was never a fan of the darker side of the 70's !! I liked the lighter colors and steered away from the fall colors! It was in the 70's that I really fell in love with wicker when I visited older relative's homes! My great aunts had lots of wicker and treasures that their father a sea captain had brought back! Yes everything was dark wood but the pretty floral patterns on the china, vases, glassware and stitched cushions really stuck with me! The light and airy summer curtains blowing in the breeze, beautiful bouquets of flowers and the gorgeous quilts at the foot of the beds in case it got chilly at night are lovely memories I treasure!!

Hi, you are right about the mix of styles. Hopefully whoever sees the way it's staged will not be unmotivated to buy. If they look at the items separately, then they will be able to see it in their home depending on the style they are going for. I like your vignette. I've never been at your store, but I'm sure you have a lot of beautiful things.

Love the crackle and finished design. The ceramic pot is a microwave egg cooker. Handy little piece. Good luck selling all the pieces.

And you are definitely the one to make these things beautiful!🦢 The book case looks more like a 70's.. reminds me of said furniture my older sister had in her bedroom years ago. I love the crackle effect, my daughter used it on a few pieces in her home and i really liked it. That piece turned out beautiful.. love it🤍 Love the terrarium! I love to collect old lamps, that one is actually really cute, very unique! Love what you did with it! Like you said, some things just depend on how you style them. The Mix match is even trending in clothing. I want to collect mix matched dining chairs for my dining table, i love that look❤ I think you did a great job as always, the bookcase turned out really pretty and love how you've staged it! TFS😊

The red lamp is an Early American design, probably from the 1960-70s. I grew up in a home decorated with this type of decor!

You did a great job! Just a thought - how would some of the chicken plates looked stacked vertically - you know, like in a dish drainer, in the greenhouse/or terrarium? or maybe even put the candlesticks in there? That was brilliant to put the scrapbook paper sleeve over the electrical wiring on the lamp - it looks charming. Great makeover AND vignette! 15:43
