@serenakoleno9338 13 днів тому

Me too. From boring to beautiful.❤

Now that my husband is gone I have happily made MANY changes in my home.

@vintagelady1 12 днів тому

My husband got himself gone about 38 years ago. Not that he was so awful or anything, but I have never been happier, being a single lady totally in charge of my own life and my own decor!

@nonisnest9718 14 днів тому

I think the three different shades is genius! Love love love the bird stencils on the ceiling.

@CanterburyCottage 14 днів тому

Yay! Thank you!😊

Sherry, I would love to see you do some regular Q&A videos! So many of us are enamored with your style, creativity, and professional use of a variety of tools. 💜

@nilsagomez1 14 днів тому

Yes lampshades are beautiful mismatched

@vickinoeske1154 14 днів тому

Yes! I love that the 3 lampshades don't match. 3 lights are perfect. I think a 5 or 6 arm chandelier would be too chaotic with different shades. You always surprise me with your wonderful ideas.❤😊💡

@CanterburyCottage 14 днів тому

Thank you so much, Vicki! 😊

@donnamcl6134 14 днів тому

Sherry your home is BEAUTIFUL! Please keep in mind that it is YOUR HOME so you can do what you want...I would let the criticism go in one ear and out the other!! Fresh flowers die fake ones do not! I love your style so much I often copy it in my home. I wish I had your creative mind and the talent! Thanks for sharing everything you do with all of us.

@terriallen2537 11 днів тому

Hello Sherry. Love all your ideas, as always. The birds in the ceiling and adding antiquing wax was a great addition. The mud room looks very cozy. Yes, I'd use the mismatched glass globes. That's a brilliant idea! Ok, who should care or criticize someone for using faux plants instead of real??? Girl, don't listen to them, you do what YOU want. 😉 Your creations and ideas are such an inspiration. Thanks for all you do for us. Already looking forward to your next video. Take care 😊

@itzasunnyday4me 14 днів тому

I just love the way the mismatched vintage shades look on your light fixture. I am definitely going to looks for some shades I can use to implement that idea! Thanks for sharing. All your ideas are amazing!

@CanterburyCottage 14 днів тому

You are so welcome! I’m so glad you liked these ideas!

@vickiebelk635 13 днів тому

I used a curtain to cover by bench. I just used huge safety pins to attach it. I folded it like a gift. That way I could take it off and wash it or replace it when I got tired of it.

@patbarthe1219 14 днів тому

I love the birds on the ceiling and I liked the gold birds before the wax. But thats just me. Your house, your call! Everything you do is beautiful, such creative talent. ❤

@charlotted6247 14 днів тому

I love painting birds on the ceiling. That would be great to add in children's rooms too. I think your room looked great painted green. I love it.

@lanet9442 14 днів тому

Simple but very effective upgrades. Love the birds on the ceiling.

@charleneblake1146 14 днів тому

@dorisbuckner 14 днів тому

I love the bird light without the antiquing wax, the birds on the ceiling is a great idea. Love it.. ❤️

@judiemjacobson4613 14 днів тому

I just love your style. You have become my favorite thrifter. I would definitely use different shades like you did I think it is very cool. Love the gold Birds on the light fixtures and then the Goldbergs on the ceiling I would definitely do this but I live in an apartment so I just enjoy watching what you do to your home. Blessings and love from New Mexico

@cherylparish1375 14 днів тому

The mismatched light globes are wonderful! They would be something I would have collected if I had more room to display. It's so great to use random things you love in such a pretty way. Now I'm on the hunt for a fixture and vintage globes! Love it so much!

@CanterburyCottage 14 днів тому

Oh, thank you so much, Cheryl! It was a good thing I only needed three shades because even though Habitat had hundreds of glass shades, I only found three that looked vintage.

@elizabethrocha975 14 днів тому

I look forward to all your great project ideas; they make my day. I am impressed by the refreshing changes a little paint makes in your home. I still wish I were your next door neighbor, but for now I will settle for being your "virtual neighbor." Liz

@debbenelson1219 14 днів тому

I would certainly use mismatched shades in my home! They'd go well with my mismatched kitchen chairs😅

@CanterburyCottage 14 днів тому

@pennyharris1543 14 днів тому

I would definitely use miss matched lamp shades.

@nenaturning3859 14 днів тому

I love the mismatched light shades and the birds on the ceiling are so joyful!

@CanterburyCottage 14 днів тому

Thank you so much, Nena!

@maryellenyork2819 14 днів тому

I loved seeing a picture hung beneath the chair rail in your foyer. I hung a large framed photo under my bathroom window. It was the only space large enough for it, and the first thing I see when entering. I have a coastal bathroom, and my daughter took the photo of a dugout canoe on the beach in Tanzania, which reminds me of a childhood experience I had.

@CanterburyCottage 14 днів тому

That is awesome! I love how your picture evokes memories (and an interesting story), and you hung it in an interesting spot, too!

@shelly1224 14 днів тому

I love the unexpected. So I love the mismatched shades, but I really love the ceiling stencils! Birds are a them throughout my house, before I started watching your channel. I will be looking for a bird stencil now for sure. You did small projects, but they have a big impact. Beautiful as always.

@CanterburyCottage 14 днів тому

Thank you so much, Shelly! The stencils I used are from Cutting Edge stencils.

@heydeanie 14 днів тому

Those hobby lobby knobs!!! The mismatched lamp shades !! The ceiling birds!! ❤ (my only complaint, please actually attach the shelf brackets to the window frame, that's an accident waiting to happen)

@user-ix1sf9wm8k 14 днів тому

Love the mud room. The glass shades are very nice together.

@CanterburyCottage 14 днів тому

@johnmelissaziech6207 13 днів тому

The birds on your ceiling and light look delightful! My husband painted a sky with puffy clouds and birds on the ceiling of my daughter's room when she was younger. We added glow-in-the-dark stars. She loved it.

@Erica.S19 14 днів тому

Wow Mrs Sherry so beautifully done as ALWAYS!! Everything looks fabulous!! Please say an extra prayer for me today! Just need an extra boost! 😊❤ hope you have a WONDERFUL rest of your week!! Invitation is ALWAYS open! 😂 🤭😜

@marlenomahony8649 12 днів тому

You truly do come up with the best ( original & unique ) ideas. I simply loved the stencilled birds on the ceiling.

@BehaviorAnalysisandCoffee 14 днів тому

The birds on the ceiling are precious! I wish I had somewhere I could do that. 🐦

@alicejump2290 13 днів тому

My daughter (remember she became a fan separately from me) anyway we talk about you, she says “did you see what Canterbury did …… “ and I either say “yes or oh I will watch it” then we collaborate on projects ! She is even talking about using power tools, which is a real turn around for her! Her husband may need to hide the tools! Actually I have a lot of tools we can use together! This is a good time as I just moved into a lovely Senior Apartment in beautiful Skaneateles N.Y. So we will be incorporating your tips! Blessed Spring days!

@dreamachristie-ramirez2443 14 годин тому

Loved all of the updates, but the birds on the ceiling was a stellar idea! Thanks, Sherry, and have a great week ahead!!

@CanterburyCottage 9 годин тому

Thank you! You too!

@sandieyule1644 4 дні тому

As always Sherry, I love your decorating style. I am not sure in a room if I would mix lamp shades but I would do it in a hallway!! I love the birds on the ceiling! And I loved the antique wax on the birdcage. I'm sad to hear ANYONE criticizes you for not using real plants or anything else. Keep being you! We love you for your unique style and amazing tips! Your friend in PA~ ❤❤❤❤❤❤🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦

@lesliespradley8897 12 днів тому

Can I just say I love the black. Everyone well, not everyone but a lot of us are afraid to use black because we feel like it is going to make a space too dark or feel smaller but it is just the opposite. After watching you I finally took the plunge and painted my doors black when I put the first coat on the first door. I thought oh no what have I done 😲but I have learned over the years to complete a project before judging and to realize it is just paint and it can be painted over if you hate it. I did not hate it ha ha ha I loved it, and I have gotten so many compliments. Thank you for helping me boldly go where I would have never gone before ( Star Trek reference intended )😄

@margaretdillinger5090 14 днів тому

I like that you added the dark wax to the light fixture. Everything you did is so beautiful. 😊❤

@lisapieper3598 8 днів тому

The room is so pretty. Love the antiquing wax and the birds on the ceiling. The black paint really does elevate the door!

@grannygarden5887 14 днів тому

Wow the whole show was awesome i loved what you did with the mud room. It really brought it up a notch. The cabinet doors in the bathroom surprised me cause i thought you were leaving them white but the black looked vey nice . Thank you Sherry! Ps the shades worked very well cause even thought hey were different they were similar in size and shape. They were a go for me.

@lisagorman2480 11 днів тому

I painted all of my interior doors black during the Pandemic and I absolutely LOVE them. Very classic, very English, and very elevated.

@lauramitchell6725 14 днів тому

I have refreshed many piano and sitting benches over the years. I don’t have any upholstery skills but these are SUPER simple to do,wrap around and staple! Some of my classiest yet inexpensive fabrics from the thrift store have been from custom drapes. Some designer suggested raw silk to their clients and now I’m buying the panels for a dollar each! (Even one odd,lone panel goes a long way.) 🤭🙌🏻

@lindaelmore2040 13 днів тому

I love that lamp and I would definitely use different glass shades because each is its own work of art. Your laundry room would make doing laundry a relaxing chore for sure. Every idea today was something anyone could achieve. Thanks, Sherry!

@junerobbins6871 4 дні тому

Love the laundry room window. I don't think anyone is even going to notice the mismatched loght shades !

@gladysclausing8785 16 годин тому

Great changes! I agree with the previous comment about husband’s comments. My husband always says “leave it alone, I don’t like change.” 😂 I don’t listen. 😂😂😂😂😂

I've stenciled on a ceiling before and it was a spectacular success. I did the corners with a French inspired pattern and it elevated a simple guest bedroom that became my Mom's bedroom and she loved it.

@memaw5boys1girl14 14 днів тому

I stenciled a frog on a wall in my kitchen right along the counter. The grandkids loved it 🥰

Back un the day, when stenciling was the MUST for home decor 1994ish-my sister stenciled a garden on an arched wall in my new house. Part of the hollihocks and some other flower continued up to the top of the arch. She added butterflies ,if I'm memberinf correctly, flying birds in clouds. The wall and arch are about 24" wide. It was a really fun housing warming gift. She was so creative. 😊

@r.leahperez8692 14 днів тому

I’m always looking for unique ways to decorate my home and I love the idea of the mismatched glass shades. It’s a perfect touch that showcases the vintage style I admire so much! Thanks for the idea❤😊

@lydialangfordjoiner765 14 днів тому

It looks great! You are a fantastic carpenter. I love that you admitted forgetting the measurements, I do, too. I love those glass lamp globes & yes, I’d do that, too. The green is pretty & thanks for the science lesson about green. I love, love the ceiling birds and I like the light pendant either way but I personally would have left it plain or used white wax. Love you ideas!

@idavera55 13 днів тому

Love how you redid your bathroom cabinets and I like all the things you did in your laundry room. I don't have a laundry "room" it is off the garage so it is not big, I call it my laundry "closet".

@lilblonde111 14 днів тому

I would love to paint the kitchen cabinets (from the early 70's). Maybe with that paint that doesn't require primer. I love your talent.

@CanterburyCottage 14 днів тому

Yes, you could paint your cabinets with chalk paint. You will need to use wax on them when you finish and again about once a year to maintain. Painting my kitchen cabinets was one of the biggest improvements that I have made to my house. You won’t be sorry.

I loved you mismatched shades. I love using shades like that with a colored votive glass and candle in them; the colors are luscious! I like your use of faux plants. I love plants and flowers but have black thumbs. A quick swish through soapy water brings things back to life. The only houseplants I have left are the kind that can stand being 3x a week OR go for 3 weeks without watering!!!
