Deep Cleaning & Thrifty Finds Haul + Summer Homemaking Inspiration 

Whatever you are going through, I'm sure your faith will carry you through. Rest in the Lord and He will take you through it... weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning-Psalms <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1805">30:5</a>. Vivan's windmill painting turned out beautifully, Sarah. Hope you will share when she paints it on the canvas. So wonderful to see her really enjoy herself with painting. She's quite the budding artist! I also love the teapot you found.

Peace be with your family for whatever you’re going through. I love the new planter for the tree . I think keeping the closets light and bright will make it fresher . My suggestion would be …to wallpaper the back wall only would add a punch of pizzazz..❤

Praying for you Sarah and your grieving . HE will never leave you or forsake you. In this life we will have tribulations. Blessings dear lady

Was so sorry about your friend's losses but grateful you could go and help. I would use green somewhere else and keep the closet bright.❤

I'm sorry for whatever you are grieving.. I know personal loss. Yesterday was my mom's 6 month death anniversary. I completely agree about not needing to speak any words but just silently bearing witness to another's pain.. that is so helpful.. I didn't receive that comfort so as I am trying to piece together my life and move forward.. I am trying to be mindful of what I went through and how to offer " better" to others. A verse which comforts me greatly and seems to keep popping up in my devotions is, Psalms <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2058">34:18</a> The Lord is near to the broken hearted and saves the crushed in spirit." The teapot is great! Vivian's art is really touching. This one feels moody. ❤️

Sarah, I’m so sorry you came home to a sad situation. I will pray the Lord gives you peace that can only come from Him. He is always with you. 🙏🏻🤗❤️ ~ Cindy

Sarah, praying for Peace and Strength in your time of grief. Love the tea pot and Vivian’s painting is beautiful she is truly blessed with a wonderful talent. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💜💜💜

Sarah, praying for you, and I agree thrifting makes everything better ❤

Sending blessings to you, Sarah. Positive thoughts and energy your way ✨️

We feel like we need to take the pain away somehow but in my life I've been through unbelievable tragedy and all I actually needed was someone to just be. Just sit. Just stay. I think that's exactly what you did during your trip. God bless you for it ❤

That straw purse is so nice. I relate to not being in the mood to purchase. Sometimes it’s just nice to look around 😊

8 thousand dollars! Is the window made of gold? That’s insane!!!

My sweet friend Sarah, I'm sending lots of love and prayers your way to help get you through this difficult time that your going through. May God bless and keep you close to Him. I was very glad to see you today & enjoyed your video & your thrifting & what you did around the house. Take care. Much love & blessings to you and your family. Bob and Lisa ❤❤❤

Love her painting will be beautiful framed. Prayers for the hard times. 🙏🙏❤ this too shall pass !

Hi Sarah good to see you home I hope your friend will be ok so sad 😢. Your little bites of food looks delicious and violets painting is amazing take care love from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤🌹

I am sorry you are walking through a hard time Sarah. May God's love and peace surround you.❤

My thoughts and prayers during this sad period for you and your family, 🌼🌿

Hi Sarah. I would get some more bids. More light is usually appealing and appreciated.

You are so right, there really aren’t any words to comfort one when the sorrow is so deep. However, what comfort there is in knowing there is someone who has suffered just as you and He also suffered for you. I am praying for you to have peace and comfort during this time Sarah. God bless and keep you. I really like your new white planter. 😊❤😊🙏

I love your channel! Your voice is always so calming and I have watched so many other home decorating videos that are rushed. I think the green in the closet would be too dark. White is brighter and better! So sorry you are sad now. I always tell my husband, "everything in this life is temporary."🙂💕

I agree Sarah. WHATEVER IT IS GOD WILL GET THE GLORY! STTB

This was lovely and relaxing. OK, the closet: why not pick a color from the wallpaper? Your daughter's painting: I am an artist and I can tell you she has real talent. I just love it - it is a windmill! Your sadness, thanks for sharing what you were able to. I hope the sadness is lifted soon. So look forward to these videos. They are so therapeutic. Yes, sometimes I clean around things and that is okay. I tell myself "it's all I can for now, it's the new me, I'll save the rest for another day - which does come when, as you say, I feel inspired to do so." Well, lots of blessings and let your sister know we all miss her. Blessings to you and your whole family

Oh Sarah, praying for peace in this time of sadness. WINDOW: I would encourage you to get another bid, several actually. I redid my kitchen, soon after buying our home. It was completely outdated, dark Tuscan style, and only 2 - single windows, one on each side of the sink. I wanted more light and room. I had a choice: move the second story roof line or blow open the kitchen wall. You can imagine the cost for getting an architect and building engineer involved to move the roofline! We went with blowing out the wall and installed one big 11ft window, with side panels that crank open, over the kitchen sink! WOW! The difference it has made! A view to the backyard (pool, outdoor dining room and garden)! I can now have beautiful plants that grow because of the light! Don’t give up on your kitchen dreams! 😊

Prayers for you sweet friend.

❤ So sorry for your sad event.

I’m not sure what you’re going through right now, but I pray 🙏 whatever it is that you will have peace & comfort during this time.🤍

It's been a sad time for my family this year. My son-in-laws mum passed away in April and has left a large hole in my grandbabies life. Sending blessings your way.🙏

Praying for you❤❤❤

I have found that long term I like my closets to be light and neutral. Dark closets something make it difficult to find things . Also, your bid for the window seems excessive. Of course, I realize the cost of living in your area is much higher, so maybe that is fair. But, you might get a second bid just to check.

I’m so sorry for the grief that your friend has experienced, somethings just don’t make sense. But God sees the big picture and He has promised to never leave us or forsake us. That thought alone brings me great comfort. May the Lord bless and keep your sweet family as you serve Jesus.

Hi Sarah 😊 I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve had such a rough week. Praying for peace for you and your family! Loved the tea pot

I think the green would make it very dark so I would keep with the white. So sorry to hear about the sad even in your house(whatever it was). Keeping you in my prayers.

Sarah, I’m sorry you are going through a hard time right now. Prayers things work out and bring you peace.

Sending Love and Prayers❤❤❤May the LORD comfort you and your Family ❤🕊🌻🌻🌻🦋

You are amazing an an inspiration…

I have all my closets painted white to be able to see everything. My closets don’t have lighting in them and I need all the help I can get to see. I hope you feel better. Will pray for you. I clean everything as well when things go sideways. That’s a lot of money just for a window. How much cabinet space would you loose? If you had to sell, would you be able to get your money back? When I’m looking at buying a home I look at how many cabinets there are. Maybe a skylight?? Just ideas sweetie, take care ~ Janet 😘.

Definitely green.

Prayers for whatever happened ❤

Very sorry for your sadness...Wishing you and yours better days ahead. Here is a very inexpensive solution to your window situation...Amazon has Cute Cottage Window Grids - easy to install and pop out to clean windows. Gives that pained cottage look. Worked for me! If this is not your forever home why invest $$$$ on non essentials. Keep that money for important things for your home furnace, a.c., plumbing, electric, etc. Anyway I enjoy your content - thanks for sharing. Be well in mind, body and spirit.

What a amazing painter she is!❤ keep the Closets., white. It will make it so dark and you will hate it! Safe yourself some work and keep them white! 😊

PRAYER 😊 FOR GOD EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE

Time heals. The lord is always near.

Hi Sarah take care you can hear the sadness in your voice

I make those jalapeno poppers all the time, but I find its a bit cheaper & easier to just add real bacon bits in the cream cheese mixture. My heart has been broken over your friends loss. Praying for peace & comfort for everyone.

🙏🙏

We did a whole house with new windows for that price, please check around. Love the painting looking forward to see it in its new frame. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!

The green will make it really dark. I panted my toilet dark green😢

Hope you feel better praying for you, I didn't see your cat Hope it's not your cat that made you sad.

Can you share the bread recipe?

8.000 to put in a window I dont think so your getting ripped of get more quotes

Please do not paint that brick! It's the only warm thing in your bedroom! I don't understand your new obsession with light and airy, your home used to be so warm and cozy and traditional and now it looks like an old lady who can't go out in the sun anymore so she wants her house to look like a summer day instead of a warm cozy cove

🙏🙏
