I’m Kayla and I want to inspire you to create a casual, elegant home full of the French Country Cottage charm!
You’ll see how I decorate my own home throughout the seasons and how I transform thrift store finds so they complement my decor style.
We will create pretty DIY home decor accents together, and turn secondhand furniture into beautiful statement pieces.
I’ll also share my favorite brands, products, and supplies so that you too can create a casual, elegant home you love!
I hope you enjoy following along! Visit me over on Instagram at @liveoaknest and on my website at www.liveoaknest.com Reach out anytime at kayla@liveoaknest.com
Wow you have a beautiful home! I only just found your channel today and I have subscribed. I’m really looking forward to seeing your other videos now! I love the ornaments you made. I’ve never used paper clay I usually just use das clay. Would you say paper clay is better to use? I have lots of different moulds and have just ordered a few more from SHEIN and Temu as they are so inexpensive. I really love how the ornaments came out with all the different dry brushing. I’m definitely going to make some when my moulds arrive. I think I will try gold leaf on some too after painting gold! Now on to watch another one of your videos! God bless you and thank you for sharing your creativity with us. Much love from me in England ❤😊
Nice on it's own, yet an open floor plan is nothing for me. Just don't like to live in my kitchen. I need a door between my living space and my kitchen, that I can close. This is The look in this style. Sorry, but I feel I've seen this a thousand times over already. Everyone copying the same thing, having the same rugs, the same tiles, etc.
Please come back! I just finished shopping for all the supplies to make the gold bunnies for Easter. You have inspired me to venture into something Ive never been confident in, art, lol and I want to thank you for giving me the inspiration to take on the challenge and enjoy a beautiful activity. ❤
We miss you! Hope you’re ok. Would love to have seen how you decorated for Christmas and for Easter coming up! You have a unique style and I enjoy the calm sweet music that you choose for the videos. Hope to see you soon

You inspired me so much so I ordered the things you used here- cream, brush, stencil and added a french blue paint!😀 Im so excited! Thank you☺️ love your crafts!
So glad l came across your videos. Can't wait to start collecting some of the stuff you are showing. I notice you use fushion paint l noticed your 2 chairs and table are they painted with the fushion paint ? and would you mind telling me the colors they are beautiful. Your house is so warm looking and you do such beautiful work. Thank you. Nancy from Canada
The crackling effect is nice buy yours look like they are caked with paint, too much paint. you can get a great crackle effect with one coat of paint, use crackle medium or mod podge, paint again and the crackles are great. Yours look too globby. Sorry. I don't mean to be mean. I have seen it done so much nicer.
I wanted mine to look like they were antique spindles that have had several layers of paint and age to them. But Im glad you’ve seen it done so much nicer! Thanks for sharing that! 🤦🏼♀️
Sooo Beautiful! I love the clean look. I used to like lots of colors for Christmas but nowadays, this is what I’m going for, maybe with some touches of color here and there..
These Christmas trees are just GORGEOUS. That's such a cool idea, using those door knobs as bases for the trees. They look really chic 😍 Love from Amanda Jones in Australia ❤
Please don’t place above a candle like that .. they’re dead pieces fall all it takes it a branch to break over time fall over into the candle and then your house will go up in flames and it takes under 5 minutes
