Hi T! I Love this video! Love the rocker! I was shocked at how those poor faux leather chairs turned out! Brilliant! TFS ❤
Must say of all my favorites, the mirror at 22:38 stands out for me.
Another great video. There were so many ideas that I would love to do, if only I had any more room in my house and she-shed. I have come to look forward to your Sunday lessons.Thank you!😊❤
Thanks for another great video! Loved the last project with the 4 chairs. I wasn’t aware you could paint leather😮
I love the stone effect and I'm going to do the flex covering with twine! I can't stand flex! Subscribed and shared x
Loved all the refurbishments but my favorite was definitely the headboard with the mirror over it on the verandah.The reflection of the garden was lovely.
Thanks so much! 😊
I cannot believe I have not found you sooner! This was just the most fab and relaxed Sunday evening I have had in a while! I thought I had saw every idea know to man .........BUT......I cozied up with a pot of tea and watched yours smiling the whole way through. You and your creations are absolutely fabulous x Bright Spring Blessings 🌻🌻🌻
You are so welcome! That’s so lovely to hear! 😊🤗♥️
Oh my goodness! So many beautiful projects!
Thank you for visiting!🙏🏻♥️
The faux cement projects are amazing!
Thank you!🙏🏻😊
Loving ❤️ the pompoms in the vase
Me too!! It reminded me of The Lorax 🥰
Love the ideas for Annie Sloan, and wrapping of cords and wire lamp shades. Want to try the stone effect on a small scale to so if I can do it first. I would like to be a clone of your great mind for refurbishing things. I am getting there. I learned something for sure with the chairs.
Oh that’s so good to hear! Have a go and you never know where it will lead😃
Tracy. Hard to pick a favorite diy, so I pick all of your projects as my favorite. See you next Sunday.
Oh bless you Victoria 🙏🏻😊 Have a great week lovely 🤗🥰
The pots and jars got me, everything else kept me. People if you watch , SUBSCRIBE So we don't have her stop posting and us loosing her ideas Have a wonderful day ❤
Oh thank you Debby!!!🤗♥

You are a very busy lady!!!!!! Love watching all you do!!!!!! 😁I especially LOVE the headboard project attached to the wall!!!!!
Thank you so much!!😊

Tracey I just want to say thank you . Your videos every Sunday evening really help me to relax, you are very calming in a mad world ❤️
You are so welcome! Thank you for visiting each week!🤗♥️
Beautiful piece ❤❤❤
Thank you Rachel 😊♥️
I love the Pom Poms love all your flips
Aww thank you! I love the Pom poms too! 🤗🥰
An American lady I watch that does a lot of refurbishment uses a raised lazy susan under her projects not only are they raised but you can move the piece and have great access. Thank you for sharing your makeovers - your home is lovely.
What a good idea! I'll have to try that.
That’s a great idea! Thank you for sharing 😊♥️
I couldn't find a lazy susan so my husband bought a thrift store $5 swiveling bar stool. Took it apart and used the seat and the hardware to make me a lazy susan.
That's what I do too. I have 2 different sizes. It makes almost any project so much easier. It's fantastic for spray painting!!
Amazon sells the mechanism that goes underneath a lazy Susan enabling you to make any tray into one.
Hello!! Oh my GOODNESS! I'm half way through and as I watch I'm gathering so many ideas. At this point I've subbed and created a file on my phone just for you!! I'm moving from the southern California desert across the country to a small town that fits your aesthetic perfectly, both on the streets of downtown and in ALL the vintage and antique shops in town. Just yesterday I was going through a shed that was holding my old stuff AND my parents' old stuff (some of which is REALLY old, cuz I'm 65) and between you and what I found yesterday I have totally decorated my new house... at least in my head!! As I dug out my old things I'm reminded that I've always loved mirrors and re-doing my re-dos. Such fun!! You've gotten me excited about the move again - it's going to be a real chore - and I greatly appreciate that!! Hugs from the southern California desert (at least for now), MK 🤗🏜🤗
Well that was just wonderful to read!! I am absolutely thrilled that I have sparked your enthusiasm again! Best of luck with the move… what an adventure!!🤗🥰
Your ideas are so beautiful! I look forward to seeing your videos every week.
I'm so glad! Thank you for visiting 🙏🏻😊♥️
Love all the work you do n your items!
Thank you🙏🏻😊
Thank you for compiling all these great makeovers into one long relaxing video.
You are so welcome!🤗
I am so glad I found your channel. I love everything in this video. I can't wait watch more.
Oh thank you so much! Hello and welcome to the channel!🙌🏼🤗♥️
You have an amazing eye to see potential in every piece of furniture. I particularly LOVE the crackling on the rocking chair and the double transformation of the outdoor cushions. A true artist at work!
Thank you so much!😊🤗♥️
I Truly enjoyed every second of this video 44:56 44:56 with my coffee this morning. Every piece was absolutely stunning. So creative & beautiful. I will be back!
Thank you so much!! 😊
Todos tus proyectos son muy buenos 😊❤hi
Hi lovely! Thanks for visiting again 😊🤗♥️🥰
Very clever. Also love how you go straight from one item to the next!! ❤

Oh thank you!🙏🏻😊🤗😄
I am so amazed by your beautiful and inspired work! Your home is just a dream!
Thank you so much!☺️😊🤗
The Pom Pom balls are amazing!!!!! I love your ideas! Reminds me of Dr Seuss 😭
Glad you like them!🤎
Oh my... the blues and greens and purples of those hydrangeas in that old wood box is absolute perfection!!!!! It could be the center of a still life painting! Ever since I saw you put those yarn balls of wool in a basket, I now look for them every time I go thrifting. Its such a beautiful composition in texture. The distressed headboard and mirror on the veranda are a work of art!!!!! Your vision never fails to impress me! How do you even sleep at night with all these ideas? I would definitely have to keep a notebook and pen on my nightstand! Have a happy day Tracey!
Hi Liane!!🙌🏼Oh that wool!! I’ve been searching for another bundle like that ever since too with no joy yet either! I sleep like a log darling as I’m generally exhausted when I go to sleep 😂🤗🥰
@@RuralRefurb I bet!
Yes ~ this comment! Exactly how I feel 🙌
Hard to pick a favorite they’re just so cute!

Yes I did😊
Hello, I LOVE ALL your ideas. I especially LOVED the two pieces you attached to the outside of the cottage. BEAUTIFUL...WOW...AMAZING. 😊 The old 30+ yr. old lamp also resembles the shape of a pumpkin. You have some very unique ideas.I LOVE ALL of them.❤❤❤

Love how you fixed the wicker basket. I will do that too. Would love to see more of your tool for stripping down paint and lacquer.
Oh it’s just a decorators tool, nothing special and readily available from your local hardware store 😊
Unbelievable, how you brought those four club chairs back from the dead was incredible, Congratulations what an adventure. 🎉👏👍 My only question, with the friction of guests sitting in the chairs, would the layers of wax and paint, would the faux leather ever crack? I just discovered your delicious channel, so much Fun! Keep up the great work ❤️🎉❤️
Thank you! The chairs are as good now as when I did them but they are occasional chairs, not in use every day. I also left them for a month to cure before been sat on😊
Tracey, I loved so many of the projects today. I live in a historic house outside Charleston SC and try to keep my decorating in line with what works with the house but I do find so many so many of the things you do I can modify to work. And of course I love the way you recycle. Have a wonderful week.
Your home sounds wonderful Sandy and yes, lots of what I do can be tailored to suit individual styles. Have a great week lovely 🤗🥰
Again, a lovely video. Thank you, Tracy. I do like that you have put all the Diy in one video. So much easier than finding them when you need a recap. I have a few things on the cards that i wish to do. Keep them coming please
My thoughts exactly… it’s an easy reference as many of the DIY’s are buried in decorating or shopping videos 😊🤗♥️🥰
Beautiful style. So talented. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching! 😊🤗♥️
I look forward to your videos every week so talented
Oh you are kind Andrea☺️🥰♥️
I love watching your weekly videos for the great decorating ideas including your catchphrases, etc...thank you. P.S. the transformation of the 4 chairs was amazing...though, I'll start with the pom pom branches
I love the pom poms! Such fun to do 😊🤗
Awesome-it’s really inspiring to see things a new way thru your eyes. Your finds are incredible! What eye you have & especially for using paint. Love all of it!
Thank you so much!☺️🤗♥️
Again such a lovely range of ideas for us to use. I am going to do one of our lamps and I will place the other pottery I have already done, with your special techniques and place it in our kitchen when it is complete. We are still busy fixing floors that were eaten by the dry ants. But we are getting there. Thank goodness our weather is a little cooler. Thanks Tracey for a very inspirational episode. Enjoy your week ahead.
So pleased the floor is going down Cathy, hopefully it will all start coming together soon then the decorating can begin! Have a great week sweetie🤗♥️🥰
I loved the "spice" lamp! Loved all your diy projects 😊
Thank you! 😊
I love all your transformations Tracy. Everything comes out beautiful. I have a thing for mirrors too. ❤😊
Thank you! 🤗 you can never have enough mirrors!😂
Hola mamá. Ya atenta al domingo de felicidad con usted y su magia 💝🌻
Hi Maria!! 🙌🏼See you then🤗🥰
Adding a little spice to your life, literally!!! The yarn poof balls on branches--scrumptiously sensuous...🤗

No me puedo decidir por uno . Todos tienen mucho de lo que me hace feliz. Aunque los sillones me invitan a estar mi esposo y yo platicando nuestras aventuras de 43 años juntos 💝🌻
Wow!! 43 years!! Amazing!!♥️♥️♥️

Hmmm, is there a favorite? I guess the picture frame for daughter. Loved the mirrors a lot, and the veranda two piece, effortlessly amazing with a touch of elegance as always. My take away, I loved the music you wrote again, your sheets are easily read, and can be played in every season. 😊 Good job Tracy!!!
Oh thank you lovely! Keep writing your own music! 😊🤗♥️
I was so very impressed with your painting techniques. Thank you for the ideals.
You are so welcome!😊

Thank you so much!!🤗♥️
Absolutely amazing! Seems like you can turn anything into a unique object!thank you for sharing)
Delighted you enjoyed it! Thanks so much!🤗♥️
I see so many things I like to buy but don’t because I have no room in my house it is just the basic 3 bedroom ranch,I would love to do something similar to what you’re doing,I love all that kind of stuff
I love your imagination and ingenuity. We have recently begun a total rebuild and renovation of a 100 year old barn that was converted to a home at sometime in it's past. It is a blank canvas for us. As you can imagine, the cost overruns have been many. I look forward to trying some of your ideas and techniques when we finally arrive at the fun stage...decorating. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
Oh what a fun project! Only 2 things you can guarantee when renovating… it will take longer than you think and cost more than you thought!!😂
Beautiful decor. I’m inspired to remake my two living room lamps now.
Go for it!😀
I love watching you and especially listening to you talk...I LOVE your accent! I am from the south in the USA. You remind me of my very best friend so that's just another reason I love to watch you. Your ideas are wonderful and unique! Keep up the good work!
Oh I love that! Many thanks for watching Marilyn🤗♥️
Maybe you can incorporate that lamp with some fall decor too...means it resembles a pumpkin...YEA 😊
Great idea!😊
Tracey your creations are as always, wonderful. Love your style and a special hello to Bertie XO. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much Christie!😊Bertie sends big licks🐶🤎
I love all you did especially the headboard and mirror on the veranda!
Thank you!😊
