Shocking Goodwill Bins Thrift & Flip

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.

What you did with that tray is GENIUS!

OMG, what you did to that silver tray was beautiful. I loved it.
What a good Mom.

Absolutely love the lamp! And how you and your husband lovingly save these beauties! And save our Earth while doing so!

Love watching you diy each product you purchase. The tray turned out beautifully! Such talent God has blessed you with. ❤

Love how you wove the floral details rather than just create a center floral arrangement. Good economical use of florals

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 RUclips 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 really enjoy watching you put together your vignettes each video

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!

I love little chubby hands helping.

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 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.

Every Texas home needs a Bluebonnet picture! Love it!

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❤

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 ❤️

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 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

I like the idea of sealing the moss with ultra hold hairspray

Putting that frame on that canvas really made the colors pop! Great redos!

Loved all the flips, but the canvas you framed and the silver tray are my favorites.

I never would have thought of using baking soda to make a rough finish. Love that idea!

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!

I always did the silver for my mom, I still love it

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.

The lamp is fabulous even without the glass! Loved everything❤

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

It’s wonderful that your husband helps you!!!😊

I'm so loving these videos! I've been missing the premiers because of church but I always catch the replays! Keep doing these! 💕

The silver tray at the beginning is awesome!! Can't wait to do this for myself! So pretty!!

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. ❤

When i find those silver plated pieces, i always paint them.

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.

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.

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.

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🎉😂❤

Omg I would have never thought to paint that tray. It looks beautiful!!!

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!

Love the finds...the tray is beautiful, but the lavender canvas print is gorgeous!

I love tarnished silver-so much variety in the resulting patina👍

I absolutely love that lamp!! The big picture looked amazing with just adding that frame, it was a beautiful print too.

Great haul, again! I just love the way you flip them and set them together. Thanks for sharing your ideas, Cory ❤

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.

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…❤❤❤

I like silver platters stacked, very impactful

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!

Love the books you found, wow! The mammals bok is amazing. Nice vignette, looked very nice!

I’m with your daughter. Polishing silver is fun!

As always everything turned out beautiful ❤

Wow I love the finish on the tray❤ I am so enjoying how you choose your items to complete a vingnet!

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!

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!! Super hold hairspray works wonders for moss!!!

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!!! ❤

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

I loved the tray after you and your daughter polished it

WOW !!! The frame made a HUGE difference

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

Love all the pieces! The lamp is beautiful!! ❤

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.

Rogers is usually silver plated. My grandmother's wedding registry was Rogers silver. She said that they were not able to get 100% silver after WWI.

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 haul on books!! The lantern looks so pretty!! Wonderful print that you found too!!

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!

You have such a beautiful way of putting things together that look soo pretty

so clever and creative

The silver tray upcycle is stunning! ❤❤

Silver tray would look beautiful with a mirror added to it also ... Loved your video ... Thank you ... ❤

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.

I had those Disney books growing up!! So, 1965 was the year my younger brother was born and I believe he still has them.

You are so wise to be open to learning from others!

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.

I'm almost all the way through watching this video. When you brought the books out, especially the one with the $1.99 Goodwill sticker, I could just imagine an older lady in an upscale neighborhood of Houston calling a colleague and saying, "Helen, there's a girl on RUclips going through our free bins and pulling out very valuable stuff. She pulled out a silver tray, for cryin' out loud. Yes, a 92 mark silver tray. Who is going through our stores and saying "OK" to this stuff? We're losing money HELEN!"
OMG, I'm laughing with tears running down my face.

It looks gorgeous you and your daughter did a great job.

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!

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!

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. 🥰

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 LOVE DIY paint. It’s my favorite. OMG, that lamp is perfection!

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.

The tray turned out beautifully. The best part was letting your daughter try her hand at restoration. She may follow in your footsteps if only as a hobbiest.

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.

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!

Nice floral print. I like the frame you put around it.

You bring delight to your viewers friend. This week especially loved painted tray.

Just stunning work, love these videos!

I absolutely love the teapot and candlestick upcycle Cory!! Great finds and i cant believe you got all that in 15 minutes of shopping. Also sadly i do not have bin sales at our local goodwills.

Hi, I'm new to your channel and I absolutely love what you did with that tray! I think they all came out beautiful. Thanks for sharing!! ❤

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!

Gorgeous re dos. I really liked the container you put the yellow blooming branches in with the moss. Beautiful job.

Great work, Corey. Well done, and thanks for sharing.

Oh hon, wash the silver sponge out after every polish, you're just smearing the black tarnish around. 🫶
The tray turned out beautifully! 💞

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.

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!

I would not have thought to do that to the teapot. It looks great!

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!

Beautifully cohesive vignette!! And what a worthwhile trip to the bins!!!

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.

I love the vignettes that you create!

That lamp is so beautiful
