Finally! We started finding old things in my house and I couldn't wait to open the packages that Ben found in the eaves of our home. I decided to create an impromptu video of unwrapping the packages together then I thought I would share things that are going on in our New England style house with a room tour 2021, such as what do mini splits look like and the start of their installation, rooms I will be decorating and painting, and how I am finding my color inspiration for the rooms.
The four hunt them prints were purchased at The Yellow Magnolia in Hancock, New Hampshire
The two blue tufted chairs were purchased at Laurel & Grove in Peterborough, New Hampshire.

I would frame some of the wallpaper and place it around the home. A throwback to her history🎄🎄🎄

@brendachristensen3878 2 года назад

Especially the blue dining room paper with the dogs. Just a medium frame full

@djterry1218 2 года назад

Great idea

@brendajolley4808 2 года назад

I was thinking of framing some of the wall paper as well. My fave was the one with the lime green and blue in it. I think I would have have chosen that color way back when as well as now. My mother did a lot of wallpaper when I was growing up and I watched her glue and cut and put up the paper

@brendajolley4808 2 года назад

Paper and cut the edges off. When I bought my first house (circa. 1921) she papered a cracked wall from the fireplace that ran from front the bedroom fireplace to the ceiling. She sealed (clear)the wall then put a special paper over the wall and sealed it again and then papered it with a green and blush or peach colored wallpaper that was still beautiful 31 yrs. later when I sold the house. She papered the wall which held a queen sized bed perfectly. My house was a Dutch colonial which had some but not too many quirks to cover up all those wonderful built ins and all of those beautiful windows. (Which I loved!!!)

@mariamonroy483 2 года назад

@maryohare4141 2 года назад

Go with your gut, Linda, on any and all decor decisions...you have fabulous taste and style! Just because it is an older historic home...DOESN'T mean you have to make it become a museum! Our ancestors updated and changed tastes thru the centuries too. I like a balance of historic colors and antique pieces...but want good lighting, cozy rooms, air conditioning and a beautiful working stove! .,.I am also NOT washing the family clothes over a rock down at nearest river lol! You love historic homes and family ancestry, have excellent taste in paint colors, wallpaper, paintings etc. That house is lucky to have you as its owner! You will hear it whisper to you, guide you for each room!

Great video. Fun to see your new place and hear your plans. Loved opening the wall paper packages with you. I had several favorites. The dining room blue was the best. But the cornflower blue was also lovely, as was the queen Anne's lace. I agree with others that have written here. You should frame pieces and use them as a throw back to the house. Also I can't help but wonder if you might be able to get a special order by someone who does historic wall paper.

@leovenus2782 2 года назад

I completely understand wanting to paint the newer shelves in the den. But I do love the dark wood paneling. Probably with the new lighting and painted shelves, you’ll feel the lift in the space.

@c.s.s.8117 2 года назад

My son's bought a home built in 1950. I helped him remove about 10 layers of paper from his kitchen. It was like time travel. Each decade's favorite colors were represented. Lots of work but kind of fun. The paper was so thick my son thanked me for adding square footage lol. Your home is beautiful Linda. Love your channel.

@lynseysrecycledbliss1111 2 года назад

You are absolutely correct, it really is like time travel.

@jenniferdahl4475 2 года назад

I framed some wallpaper for art in my dining room when I couldn’t find anything I liked. I wanted something to flank both sides of my dining hutch so found two matching frames at a thrift store. I get complements on it all the time.

@karenhudgin8631 2 года назад

@mfnannygram 2 года назад

I appreciate that you keep your videos real, Linda, and show the in-between and in-progress stages of making an antique house a home. Thanks, too, for sharing the mechanical side of things, i.e., mini-splits, internet, etc. Living in a 1723 cape, I know the challenge of trying to be a respectful steward of history, while living a modern lifestyle. You've inspired me since I first found your channel and realized I drove past your Groton house daily on my commute. Now, when I have a few moments in my day, I might find myself thinking, what would Linda do? and then head outdoors to cut some greens or deadhead flowers or rearrange a bookshelf or chest. Thank you for continuing to inspire!

@karlam7253 2 года назад

What if you were to just paint the back of the bookshelves an antique white color. It would lighten that wall up. The wood is beautiful.

@eleanorrkuntzi6422 2 года назад

Willow loves her new home - fun to watch her romping in the yard. Wallpaper finds - love it. Might be tempting to frame some of them create a little history. Enjoy all your videos - it's exciting to see your vision unfold & adapt. Thank you for sharing!

When you were walking outside I felt like I could smell the fresh, crisp air🌸 It is so special to find old things that are apart of the history of our homes. I love the blue wallpaper with the daisies. Maybe you could frame the fragile wallpaper.

@lynseysrecycledbliss1111 2 года назад

I agree but I would also frame the beautiful paper with the dog and the lamb.

Exactly what I was thinking about the wall paper. Almost free art, if Linda has to purchase frames!

@joanneforeman7475 2 года назад

Good morning from the Blue Ridge Mountains of NC! I love, love, love your videos. It’s refreshing to watch someone who is so genuine and “real” regarding her home and decor. On the air conditioner units, being able to accept it as “it is what it is” and moving on to find a way to live with it is honest - and how it typically is in real life vs the picture perfect presentation often seen on line. This is life and the challenges and solutions are what makes a home interesting. Perfection is not nearly as soulful. I appreciate your sharing these things with all of us. I love your home and can’t wait to see how you turn your hands to it. 👏👏

Linda as a Scottish woman living in Australia I appreciated seeing you walk in the early fall of snow and the scrunch underfoot. I really love your style and love how you appreciate the age and style of your home it's refreshing to see that you search out pieces that have had a previous life to compliment your home and somehow you always seem to find the perfect pieces it I loved seeing the old wallpapers and the one with the dog was my favorite for some of the other smaller pieces you could use as a back lining in a glass fronted cupboard in a more casual space retaining the history. I always look forward to your posts and hope you continue to show the progress on your very beautiful home.

@kathytellier3806 2 года назад

It might be fun to frame some of these wallpapers and hang somewhere? Even a tabletop frame with the flowers or the one with the dogs and lambs. Thanks for sharing! Love your blue chairs!

@franceswitham8214 2 года назад

@annbailey311 2 года назад

Whoever chose those papers did a great job of coordinating them. Some of the would be beautiful as framed wall panels.

@davidhatfield5714 2 года назад

I love Love wallpaper! My favorite is the first, the queen Ann’s lace. Second is Thomas stranhan. If you do not know the name “C.F.A. Voysey” wallpaper, early 20th century, for fun check these out! More arts and craft, not quite New England country home, but so beautiful just to look❤️

@bettycannon1204 2 года назад

Yes more videos like this please. I love to hear someone’s thought process and their vision of what could be. It is so inspiring. A transformation style video is totally unique as compared to just a decorating video, which I do love as well. It is so exciting seeing your personal vision transform Sugarwood into your home.

@victoriasicilian4573 2 года назад

In the Great Room, I would start with painting the back of the shelves that look orange in the video first and not the paneling and wood working. Years ago on HGTV a male decorator "renovated" a clients wood paneled living room by stripping the wood and then waxing the wood to seal it. Just a suggestion.

@lisawinfield8982 2 года назад

I would estimate that the wallpaper is from the late 1930s to early 1940s. You have a great clue with the dry cleaning bag. You could try the Milford historical society or the Cabinet Press newspaper for additional information about the cleaners. Also, if you want to use a pattern but, it's too fragile to work with, you could have it reproduced. Such a fun find. Thanks for sharing 🙂

@peggymohr7899 2 года назад

I could spend all day watching your videos. I simply adore your taste in decor and all of the warm and inviting videos. I am in love with the fox theme and the English hunting pictures you style with. I am trying to gather items to share in my home too. I want to give this same comfort and nostalgia feeling in my home that I feel seeing yours. Thanks for sharing .

@annanorth7997 2 года назад

Oh my goodness, how much fun was the wallpaper reveal! My favorite was the first one. It would be beautiful in a guest room. My husband liked the same one you did. Thank you for another awesome video. Sitting in front of the fireplace and enjoying your snow. But happy our temps will be in the 70's tomorrow. I'm excited for the green paint. Your taste is exquisite, so I know whatever you do will be beautiful.

@linlen4866 2 года назад

Our home was about 110 years old. When we moved in there was wallpaper in my sons room with pussy willows. My 3rd grade son had to write about his bedroom before we removed it. He said "Mom. I just couldn't say I had pussy willow wallpaper." I think there are times when a little fib is ok. I had to use a steamer to take the wallpaper off. 110 years of multiple layers. My husband came home and said "that didn't look too difficult". I wanted to steam his face off.

@Sophiamia6960 2 года назад

Hands-down the Queen Anne’s lace for me, oh my gosh I absolutely love that! Plus I love Queen Anne’s lace flowers too. Do light and airy, the second definitely Daisy, high noon, and the last one with the roses for a bedroom I love too. I actually had something similar in color with small little tiny flowers in my bedroom in Massachusetts growing up, it was an old New Englander home that was beautiful! It was a oversized home that my mother completely renovated, and that paper reminds me of it…in fact my mother and I still talk about that paper, because we both just loved it so much. That house was truly the start of me loving homes and home decor. It had stated a few years earlier in a antique cape in Newburyport, or Newbury Ma., that was just gorgeous, I was 12 or 13 at the time, and I knew I really loved that cozy warm vintage vibe back then, and when we moved into the house my mother renovated I was all in!! We had a gorgeous staircase that my mother had bought this beautiful red, and white, toil wallpaper for that was just beautiful, but she wanted the staircase to be completely stripped and stained, and one day I just decided to paint it a white, and oh my gosh, she was ready to kill me lol, but then when she saw how well it looked up against the wallpaper she was happy. I probably should have asked first, but inspiration took over. I was 15 or 16 at the time. Merry Christmas.

@denisecoviello5619 2 года назад

I would try the ceiling lights and lighter paint on the walls behind the shelves before painting the wood. When you said to guess what you were putting in the walk through space, my first thought was a tavern, but that gorgeous sitting room will be lovely there!

If there is enough of your favorite wallpaper, you could paper the back of a cabinet. I did that and used glass shelves in front of it. It was a built-in china hutch. Stunning and with lighting the beautiful wallpaper served as a lovely backdrop for my "treasures". Alternatively, use the paper on foam core or such, that way the wallpaper panel can be removed and/or moved. Just thinking....🤔

Oh how cool is that ! To find the wall paper ..I loved the show "if wall's could talk" where they would find stuff in the older homes of historic value and other things..so hope you find more special things...and your foxes too. 💗

How lovely. We found some wallpaper pieces in our attic years ago, not nearly as much as your find. To small and old for wall coverings. But I did use some to cover a little band box I fashioned out of cardboard. I also matted an framed a couple of the nicest ones. That blue one with the dogs is my favorite. I’d definitely frame a wall panel with that. Just gorgeous. Lucky find. Your house is coming along wonderfully. And I agree about lighting up the bookcase wall. I’d leave the wood on other side if it were me. But I’d paint the shelves. Give it all a bright an cheery look yet still retains the older atmosphere. It will look great.

Please, please reconsider painting that gorgeous wood in the library. Perhaps investigate lightening the wooden panels by professionally sanding or stripping them to lighten them yet keeping the natural wood grain and beauty. Just another idea and food for thought. I can’t help feeling that you may regret giving it a green coat of paint. Lovely video!

Hi, Thanks for your input! At this time, I will just be painting the 1970s plywood pine shelves and cabinets. Not sure about the walls, but those are not old like the house.

I also loved the blue paper that was marked for the dining room. I gasped when you opened it.

That dark blue wallpaper with lamb and dog was gorgeous. Some of those pieces could be used for DYI projects, or framing some of them. Some old wallpaper I found in an old home we owned I used to frame a picture of the house, and everyone loved it. Love your videos.

I never paint over wood if it's nice, but that's me. You have to do what you want for your home. I love your colors.

Linda, I love that room, it is so full of warmth and charm. Your tree is beautiful and I love the cabinet with the Family memorabilia, how special. The old wallpaper was more beautiful than I imagined. Love your idea of painting the bookshelves, it will look spectacular. So many exciting happenings at Sugarwood. TFS! ❣️🎄

Chewage is now part of my vocab ! My favorite is the one for dining room or the colorful flowers that looked like a bedroom wallpaper. I love how Linda pays attention to the historical details.
