I actually started watching you in October 2022, this was AFTER your hospitalization...you were my inspiration to lose weight as you know and thus far...I'm at 60 lbs gone. As of today I'm driving from Holland Michigan to Roland Ark. I'm doing a walking tour and lunch at Moss Mountain Farm with P. Allen Smith. You and he will remain huge guru's for me. Yay!

@helenf9650 10 месяцев назад

That’s amazing! Congratulations

@beckylby8409 10 месяцев назад

I think some of us forget that this is ‘your & hub’s house in which you both….live.’ Of course you have thought & rethought your ideas through. Sometimes I simply have to laugh as some react with their commentary. You have done an amazing job in such a short amount of time Linda! Love, love you, your style & ideas. Bravo! 👏👏👏

@Holly_at_gypsyhollergardens 10 месяцев назад

This entire episode was so good ! Everything is just stunning ! You are so very gracious when it comes to addressing "suggestions " . 😂 I just can not believe the nerve of some people...To me , that would be like telling Julia Child how to cook 😆

@Angie-ci1lp 10 месяцев назад

Right! Lemons to lemonade 😁😆 Keeping it moving with HER VISION.🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽

@marciamellow1211 10 месяцев назад

Not realising how vested people are in your life, let alone your yard... wow! How about let's just Enjoy, all the beauty and hard work,and realize we are... Watching LindaVater...❤

@deborahfoster1818 10 месяцев назад

I am just in awe of your energy with so many projects! Do you ever get exhausted 😊 everything looks wonderful inside and out!

@GardeningSpirit 10 месяцев назад

Your neighbors fence doesn't bother at all.. I think it actually blends into your space. Those cedar trees are gorgeous!

@michellev7345 10 месяцев назад

Your neighbors fence color is lovely and a perfect match to the tree trunks and the weathered teak chairs. I think it would be great to have cafe lights strung from those trees to the ones on the other fence line. I love those trees and they definitely give a Mediterranean vibe. The one has a horrible pruning cut stump but you could remedy that. Or hang a basket on it for now 😂 That rain barrel is designed to look like a real wood barrel. I'd leave it brown, but you do you. I don't think EVERYTHING needs to be Vater grey. I love the basket template form idea! I'm getting an IVY for my garden journal. The wavy glass looks great. That tray just happens to be my favorite shade of blue. Love your champagne colored Christmas tree. And it is never too soon to plan ahead for Xmas decor so you can relax during the holidays. Your Xmas videos are some of my favorites. This episode was chock full of goodness.

@cindyharrison1532 10 месяцев назад

1 year!! Congratulations Linda! And look at all you have accomplished! I admire you!

@margaretfrosst575 10 месяцев назад

My older children are so hard to buy for, so thanks for giving me the idea of the mini printer for thier Christmas gift.

@junebugg8212 10 месяцев назад

OH MY GOODNESS! Not only was this a fun episode, please thank 'the Hubs' for his contribution of that little tiny printer!!😮🎉 I HAVE to get one!!💜 What a year you have had! Congratulations on all of your blessings and thank you for sharing with us 💗

@AronHelligas-br5xt 10 месяцев назад

OK, I pre-ordered my journal! And the baby printer too. The idea of garden photos to go in the journal is such a great one.

@patpaul6299 10 месяцев назад

Love the artificial tree. Can imagine it decorated for every season, not just Christmas.

@anlu8613 4 месяца назад

😂 i love watching your channel all the time. Over and over. It makes me happy watching the progress and all of the planning. Thank you Linda!

@KayeCarterTV 10 месяцев назад

I have the faith it always look beautiful…you always have a great vision… it’s fun to see everything that you put together. Like I always say, let it be your design and enjoy what you enjoy not what everybody else does just saying…🍁🍂🧡💛Kaye

@sylviae6259 10 месяцев назад

OMG that is such a terrible tragedy about your surgeon. It’s good to reflect and appreciate and commiserate about what is going on in life and to reflect. Thank you for bringing this to light.

@helenf9650 10 месяцев назад

So sad to hear about the fate of that wonderful gentleman. So important to be grateful for the love and joy we find. ❤

@barbaracarlson1331 10 месяцев назад

Gosh, I love the treatment on the front door window! Brilliant idea! Everything is coming together so well. I look forward to seeing all your changes! Well done, Linda!!!❤

@nancydorn2524 10 месяцев назад

I like the west fence….it doesn’t need to match! Plus, I like the seating area by the grill. I bet you will use it a lot this fall for a morning coffee.

@maryjomathews4749 10 месяцев назад

Ten years ago we pretty much put in a whole new yard. 13 flower gardens and a new lawn. It takes several seasons before everything comes together and you can see your vision come to life. My husband and I spent a lot of time staking off and using props. I understand your process completely. We too were getting ready for our "senior" years 😉 I can say now that nine grandchildren later it turned out perfect and it is a favorite gathering place for our family and friends.

@cindylou82kingdom36 10 месяцев назад

I LOVE the front door window treatment! It is so beautiful!

@mnimon63 10 месяцев назад

I have to thank you Linda . As a long time gardener I wholeheartedly relate to you on so many levels . I have learned so many tidbits from you and look forward to your videos . Your house is a reflection of your impeccable style as well . Kudos to Stuart too ! ❤

@cindygibbons4727 10 месяцев назад

Per the discussion of painting your neighbor’s fence and the rain barrel, Linda, I think it’s nice to have different shades of browns, the mulch, Linda Vater gray, etc. That is part of nature. And if you were to paint the rain barrel, the fence or anything else, then there’s additional upkeep every few years. So live with all the colors and shades as they are meant to be. Love you and all your videos. 😊

@karenschrantz2307 10 месяцев назад

Anyone else like the white trim on the new window? I think the contrast is nice and looks very cottage to me. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@edieohoxoxo932 10 месяцев назад

Everything and I mean everything is coming together SO beautifully, inside and out. Only one comment I have, because you mentioned it in your video re: the water barrell. I personnally don't think you should be painting it "cottage grey." Sometimes too matchy-matchy seems contrived instead of the natural look you are designing. I love the grey, offset with the brick/terra cotta with the green and colorful plantlife. The "brown barrel" suits itself and the motif of the backyard...IMHO.

@irenetovar7756 10 месяцев назад

I love how your backyard is coming along. The stairs, new windows, and I love your little pencil tree. I almost forgot, the blue tray and the marble bowls and butter container are so pretty.

@realitycheck723 10 месяцев назад

The rain barrel is in a good location, your front door window was a great idea and works well without sacrificing light. Think twice about painting your neighbors fence, our neighbor did what you suggested only in red and only painted her side; however the paint leaked between the slats and stained our side. 😢 leave the fence alone, no one will ever notice it. ❤

@jordanyeager9220 10 месяцев назад

I absolutely appreciate the raw/realness of Linda bringing us along for the backyard progress.

@lorismith5369 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for the Christmas board - mood board and sharing! I,too,am planning way ahead! ✝️🎄

@jenniferkessener1111 10 месяцев назад

I have no worries about your unfinished areas...they will look as great as those you have completed. I ever would have thought you would accomplish all you have already. The frontdoor window looks wonderful!

@beckyscheller9358 10 месяцев назад

Think the sitting area by the grill will be a great small private space. Could be a favorite after you are done. Love how everything is coming along. My joyful surprise this summer has been the sunflowers that the squirrels have planted and a Roma tomato that reseeded it self.

@franbernhards7844 10 месяцев назад

Hugs honey. I had the same surgery the end of March. We are warriors!

@LindaVater 10 месяцев назад

Yes!

@christinemichael3291 10 месяцев назад

It's interesting that the neighbors fence has the good side and you're seeing the posts. In most communities the bad side faces the owner who put it up.

@vlink4071 10 месяцев назад

Very nice video. I think the rain barrel is a good color for your yard.I definitely would not paint it gray, that would be way too matchy, matchy, and it’s color blends nicely now.

@marysuarez913 10 месяцев назад

My suggestion for your side garden door is to make the door look like a Dutch door. Leave the bottom in place and only add the top half door. To add to your signature touches make the top of it to mimic the arched front door complete with a round window opening without glass, of course. The upper door could be made of solid wood or lattice to complement the the lattice work above your fence.

@christyluckett439 10 месяцев назад

So sorry so sad glad you are ok I remember u had to go to the Hospital. God is good I love your couch. and yes I want that book Bunny book just love her and their house it is just beautiful all her thing and home and her garden is so beautiful.

@paulagoforth6743 10 месяцев назад

I love my hose!! No stress anymore with kinks!!

@debel829 10 месяцев назад

I got the metal hose & it changed my life!!! I may have already commented on that but it is worth repeating!! Does not kink and slides around like butter. Second, comment. I ordered the boxwood basil when you first mentioned it. It never came even though I did get charged. It was a small amount so I haven't followed up, my bad. Just got reminded again that it never came. I love the little printer, saw one months ago & forgot. Thanks for this reminder too. Then, I have Bunny Williams book and on RU-vid, you can find her new tour of that house on HomeWorthy. That is a new addiction, beautiful homes shared! Great update video!!

@audreyerb4759 10 месяцев назад

I am sooo happy you talked and presented Dr. Doug Talamays book! He has about 6 books and I have read them all. I worked with him at his lectures and he is such a man ahead of his time! Such knowledge!!!! Its such a great idea to get peoples to read his books.

@LindaVater 10 месяцев назад

So true!

@donamurphy8182 10 месяцев назад

I do have faith in you that when all is said and done your back yard will be beautiful! I had not yet followed you in your last home so when you did a flash back to your last backyard garden I saw how absolutely gorgeous it was, fully mature planting and pea stone/gravel on the exposed grounds! It was a magical space. You have the talent!!!!

@terry3596 10 месяцев назад

I also loved her previous backyard but the new owners are ripping it all out - so sad and hard to watch 😢.

@terry3596 10 месяцев назад

Linda's yard was completely empty when she started. It's crazy that the new owners bought the fairytale house. They've redone the whole inside and are ripping out established gardens (criminal). They could have found a number of homes more to their taste.

@bonniejoberg388 10 месяцев назад

One of my favorite things I planted this year is lime green Nicotiana. I guess I should call it a "signature touch" because I grew lots from seed and planted them in various spots throughout my garden. That in turn brought a "little delight" when I discovered lots of Hummingbird Moths enjoying those lime green flowers! I so enjoy seeing your garden progress, front and back, and I'm amazed at how much has been accomplished in one year! ☺

@terrihart2133 10 месяцев назад

The window is fabulous. The door looks great.

@lindahaines9299 10 месяцев назад

I agree, have always loved Bunny, but, I also like a more paced back look at this point in my life. We are 75 and building for the fourth time. I love Bunny,s book ❤and it certainly inspires me, but, in a more minimal way. You have done an incredible job with both your house and outdoor space. My only concern is that financially it’s not achievable for many of us. Please start realizing this and present content that more can achieve. Still, thank you, love your sensibility and design ideas.

@LindaVater 10 месяцев назад

Oh I understand. That’s why thrifting is such a fun hobby🩵

@dorenecatella3328 10 месяцев назад

Some more wonderful tips for inside and out! Can’t wait to see what you do for fall decorations in the garden and inside! The backyard is coming together and you can never have too many seating areas ❤❤❤

@dreileigh9210 10 месяцев назад

Excellent signature touch episode. You are extremely consistent, Linda, and adorably elegant. I am so glad I found your channel. I learn so much from you.🌸🌸🌸

@kimberleedenevi1207 10 месяцев назад

I think one railing on the side is enough. I hope it doesn’t end up looking cluttered again. It is your house though! 😊 Always enjoy you!

@nancybogart3960 10 месяцев назад

I think the rain barrel and the fence blend very well with your signature grey. Once you paint something, you have to redo it from time to time, which is a lot of expense and work.

@janyearly3883 10 месяцев назад

The door window looks great!

@jeanettebright3378 10 месяцев назад

My 6 year old granddaughter and i discovered a great garden joy and surprise this week. We counted over 24 Swallowtail caterpillars on 4 parsley plants and 8 Monarch caterpillars 🐛on 3 milkweed plants! Butterfly heaven!

@adz5bneweng589 10 месяцев назад

My surprise of the week is just how much i love Joe Pye (eupatorium) in all its forms. I have a small garden and even the very tall variety is lovely and all are pollinator magnets.

@susanmason3432 10 месяцев назад

I love the placement of the rain barrel!!! Also, very practical!! Please don’t completely obscure. ❤❤

@128titanic9 2 месяца назад

Hi, Linda. I think that your cottage is beautiful. Thank you for your video. ❤️

@eugeniahirsch9009 10 месяцев назад

I do love the hose, and my landscaper did, too.

@leannecarroll9347 10 месяцев назад

Linda, that neighboring fence is set up perfectly to add some wire and vining plants to…similar to Sydney’s old home

@lucyhargis 10 месяцев назад

I love following you and all your inspirations! You’ve given me some hope that my newly landscaped yard may survive this hellish heat in Houston! The back yard is looking so stunning. 😍👏🏻

@user-wi8gl3bh6x 10 месяцев назад

We love the garden hose & all of your knowledge dropping!

@dianewalton1698 10 месяцев назад

No snakes--that's nice. Our neighborhood is always experiencing non-poisonous snakes as well as rattlesnakes, copperheads, and moccasins (Alabama). Lizards of several varieties, skinks, green frogs, an occasional toad, hummingbird moths, many types of birds (tons of hummers), bees, dragonflies, and wasps abound here in my garden!

@donnajennings6566 10 месяцев назад

I love the wood barrel just the way it is It does need to be gray.. So loving your new adventures in the COTTAGE ON THE HILL.

@traceygodfrey6432 10 месяцев назад

Brilliant idea with the picture printer. I'm so excited for my journal to arrive. I love your water barrel the colour it is. I'm in the UK, so I guess our taste is different but a beautiful wood barrel is a thing of beauty. Your barrel is a really good copy. I Personally I would keep it like a piece of art. And it will look great when the plants grow in. Fabulous video thank you. 🎉

@melaniewickline3308 10 месяцев назад

Linda, I love your attention to detail!!! Everything is coming along beautifully!!! ❤

@maryrose7842 10 месяцев назад

I have one of those pencil Christmas trees and it’s great for fitting in a corner. You have transformed the house in a very short time 👏 You are blessed. I would love to downsize but there’s so many obstacles to that right now 😢

@cherylmonopoli2896 10 месяцев назад

Great video.Grayson is a very good worker always smiling 😊

@bridgetdwyer7700 10 месяцев назад

My delight of the week was a single yellow pansy... in August! Hiding in a shady spot in my garden

@laurahall9114 10 месяцев назад

Hi Linda, I would not paint the rain barrel or the other fence grey. Too much matchy matchy is not always great. Love the front door window change. People being able to look straight in would have been freaking me out. 😃

@Doedoe176 10 месяцев назад

Oh Linda, what’s up with all the comments? Do your garden the way you live and love 💗

@Angie-ci1lp 10 месяцев назад

The wooden chairs in your overflow area is perfect for barbecue area matches your stairs and water barrel naturally.I’m going to glean your yard design LOVE it👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

@ileneshulan1849 10 месяцев назад

Loved the video. I could relate bout your surgeon passing. My orthopedic spine surgeon rebuilt me with a 3 level spinal fusion in 2012. He had a massive stroke at 66 and passed. I will never forget him, as I had many years with him of treating. These special people will never be forgotten by us. Been enjoying your videos since the pandemic. Thk u Linda and Stewart

@rosiemaisonave6502 10 месяцев назад

Linda, love the flowers I’m so glad they can stand up so beautiful in this heat wave we are to getting the heat here in the east love your dress and the layout of your flowers as always!

@user-dp9ou3md9d 10 месяцев назад

Thanks Linda for sharing your beautiful home and garden. Great tips and thanks to Hubs for the printer can't wait to get one. Disappointed to not hear what you were wearing and earing's. Love your hair style. Thanks

@anaharp4505 10 месяцев назад

Love the idea of using the hanging baskets!!! Brilliant

@tinafehr8394 10 месяцев назад

As pretty as your storage shed is…why not have it on the west side that is mostly your utilitarian spot of your garden. It’s close to the garage, you could have your bags of soil/ mulch etc your gravel close by as well. That way you can get to it from your front yard from your utilitarian sidewalk and it’s in your back yard.

@tamimartine8441 10 месяцев назад

I think that this is a good suggestion. Not a fan of where it sits. I don't know Linda's motivation for locating it there, though.

@betsyschaffitzel1044 10 месяцев назад

Wow! This video is Jam packed with fabulous ideas! I absolutely adore your grill side garden room now! Gardens are meant to have different rooms and the neighbors fence as well as you gorgeous chairs on the brick rug will be the favorite cozy hang out spot for sure! Your plantings will bring it to life! Your ability to see these rooms before they come to fruition is what makes you the amazing master gardener! It’s the The Linda Vater vision way! That’s what I adore!! Everything Looks beautiful!!

@lindaburris4138 10 месяцев назад

I love your rain barrel ! I think it’s perfect for your vintage home and the color is fine like it is. You do not have too many seating areas. You are creating garden rooms and the furniture makes it perfect. You should ignore all those ridiculous comments from stupid people.

@nancydorn2524 10 месяцев назад

Never too early to plan for Christmas! Fun!

@aujkalenic4203 10 месяцев назад

@kathierogers3208 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for the great idea of using the wire baskets as a template! That is the help I needed.

@lisafreimark6030 10 месяцев назад

An idea for your back gate...have it match a similar shape to your front door. A Solid rounded shape like your front door, the center of the circle to match your lattus +/or even the top lattus to continue to tie into fence if you wanted the same height.

@blakehahn-atlantaga8510 10 месяцев назад

Fantastic episode! Thanks Linda!

@brianolson8139 10 месяцев назад

Love your new front door! I’m going to look into this for my bathrooms.

@susanbrown2545 10 месяцев назад

I’ve so enjoyed watching your journey in the last year. It’s amazing how much you have accomplished. I love your ideas for a blue themed Christmas. I think it would go beautifully with the white interior and your blue loveseat sofa.

@tracybibb66 10 месяцев назад

@user-ok5jv9fc7m 10 месяцев назад

Thank you for all the good tips. Window excellent, marble excellent, ivy printer and journal super excellent! Also at the very end, your thoughtfulness for those suffering is so sincerely felt. Love your light. Way, way down here in MS, on the Gulf of Mexico, I see it shining. Would love to meet you someday on the social patio. 💫

@gretchenburton7184 10 месяцев назад

Love and appreciate everything, Linda. Hope you are feeling better and better. You've accomplished so much! Thank you for sharing so many useful tips. You will enjoy a wonderful Christmas with your family and friends❤

@terirachelsims8928 10 месяцев назад

I, too, like the rain barrel just as it is. And I think if I were to paint it, I'd do it to blend in with the brick, as there's much more brick than gray. Sort of a "clay" color would also blend well with the clay pots in the area.

@patriciamoslow7040 10 месяцев назад

Yes I bought the hose, love it
