So many great tips. I think the rug hack is genius. You inspire me to see how beautiful my house is and how I can improve it every day. I do not like fixing things but when I do fix something I am super impressed with myself. When I watch your videos I always launch into a project i have been putting off. This house is looking really great and it give me pride to see all the tiny changes that have added up to a nice change overall.

@newenglandfineliving 2 года назад

I love hearing that! Thank you

@gwenwade6059 2 года назад

Super easy copper cleaner is fine salt, flour and lemon juice. Or leave the verdigris patina. We do not redily find your Krud cleaner spray bottles in Johannesburg. Love the fountain for the side of your sink with a thrifted Oriental figurine close by.

@newenglandfineliving 2 года назад

Thanks for the tips! I never added the flour before and will be trying that!

A new water pump for the fountain is very easy to install, the patina on it is beautiful ❤

@kathybriscoe1474 2 года назад

Yea!! Glad you were able to get the little fountain working…so charming!!

@mariac4602 2 года назад

This was delightful! I love your ‘can do’ approach to things. I would have given up if the motor didn’t match the tubing but you just stayed calm and carried on 😊

Good video ❣️

@claudiadeiboldt9794 2 года назад

Linda, your videos never fail to transport me to another place. At the end of each one I feel as though I’ve been on a short excursion. Thank you. For anyone who hasn’t tried Linda’s sun tomato recipe please check it out. They’re very easy and to die for!

@user-es9mb8wi3m 2 года назад

My mother told us that the Angels were bowling. Very sweet. The fountain is a charming winner. Your guests must have loved seeing Sugarwood and all that you and Ben have done. I hope that your discussions with a new kitchen contractor are going well. A huge project but very exciting. Have a nice weekend.

@zander88990 2 года назад

Linda It does not matter what you do in your videos. They are always inviting and it feels like I'm actually there. I love your videos.

@sabineortega9648 2 года назад

Storms in Bavaria are always very bold and impressive, grandparents told us grand kids thunder and lighten is angel's and God enjoying life, I also asked my Opa , where do freckles come from , he replied , it is very simple , you where kissed by an Angel. So I started counting all my freckles lol !!!!!

@virginiatolles1664 2 года назад

I'm glad you were able to get the fountain up and running. It's adorable!

@DD-hy1nl 2 года назад

That is too cute, Rip Van Winkle is bowling! 🧙‍♂🎳.....I was told by my parents when I was a little girl, when there was thunder the Angels were moving furniture up in Heaven. 🧚‍♀🗄😂I also heard from a friend, her father told her the Angels were bowling up there🧚‍♂🎳...🤣 Whatever the tales are, they are all so cute to tell the little children when they were scared of the loud thunder when it rains.⛈💖...Too bad I can't tell my dog about that thunder tale! 😔

@gorettiportela739 2 года назад

Oh my gosh! Talk about kindred spirits! just bought the exact same fountain earlier this summer as a used item. Paid $10.00 Cad but I was thrilled and I didn’t have to replace the pump 😉😅I have mine in my kitchen! Love, love all your videos.

@rjstrotz6144 2 года назад

Linda, the last scenes were magical: the rains and thunder were across the street. Sugarwood is on THE SUUNY SIDE OF THE STREET. This carries a happy significance!!

@ritaking8827 2 года назад

That was a very fun video! I love your $5 fountain! What a find! Everything on the table looked interesting. Thank you. I enjoyed this so much.

@sabineortega9648 2 года назад

Just lovely,,, here in Southern California we are under extreme draught water restriction , so unfortunately, the vegetable garden is at a bare minimum, soon I hope to continue growing my heirloom tomatoes, peppers so on and so on. Great ideas for the guest rooms, definitely will steal ( borrow ) the ideas. Be well and safe

@kathrynbaker5188 2 года назад

@marthadavey3703 2 года назад

Can you please give me the recipe for Ina Gartens salmon with lime and chili red pepper I believe.

@glorianelson9538 2 года назад

Linda you are a woman of a million talents. The fountain looks lovely! I had the privilege to live in a historic house a few years ago and the rugs were also cut so the lamps could be plugged in, and people wouldn't be tripping over. Hope your family enjoyed their visit!

@mynewenglandstory 2 года назад

OMG, you did a great job on that Fountain!! I love it! I have to remember to try your tomato recipe, I haven't tried it yet. I always tend to just do a Caprese salad. Have a beautiful weekend my friend!

@newenglandfineliving 2 года назад

Hope you enjoy it! I had to fix the fountain again once the tape let go LOL. I should be all set now.. glue ;-)

@lisashields3252 2 года назад

@katebc9148 Год назад

Brilliant purchase of the copper fountain. And, you successfully fixed it! Congrats, Linda. 💐👏🏻

@newenglandfineliving Год назад

Thanks so much! 😊

@victoriasicilian4573 2 года назад

I remember the video where you bought the beautiful rug for the living room. What an inventive way to accomodate modern technology (floor outlet) and still preserve "antiquity"!

@marysmart5628 2 года назад

I also cut a rug to do the same thing and plus in some lamps, so it did not make me queasy!

@richiej5884 2 года назад

It's funny, my mother always told me the same, only she said the angels were bowling up in heaven when it thundered. 3 thumbs up for getting the beautiful water fountain to work! Great find and you got the touch! 👍👍👍

@newenglandfineliving 2 года назад

Well… I know I have a habit of wanting to work on old homes once I finish one. It’s a thing.

@janbusby6562 2 года назад

Another beautiful video! You made the simple task of washing vegetables into a few moments of beauty! Loved the guest basket-who wouldn’t love being in the receiving end of a few special treats! That soap must smell amazing!!! Hope you have a wonderful weekend with your guests!❤️

@barbarasimmons7637 2 года назад

@lizadivine3785 2 года назад

I think the cutting of the rug was genius!

@susanstacy2493 2 года назад

I love that you are so fearless and didn't hesitate to make a cutout on the carpet for the outlet! I think practicality should always be a major part of the design process and with the lamps turned on in the evening the room will be even more beautiful.

@katescott8130 2 года назад

LInda wanna know something - clean your copper with Ketchup, rinse with warm water- does a super job , fast easy, no chemicals! I do it with my brass and copper all the time!

@newenglandfineliving 2 года назад

I can’t wait to try that! Thank you!

@RobertGilliamHurwitzNeal 2 года назад

OMG! LOL! I thought, oh, sure, what the heck. Cut the rug! Then I saw it and literally got a shiver down my spine. Hahaha 🤣 Where in NC. I was raised in Plymouth but later moved to Raleigh.

@newenglandfineliving 2 года назад

LOL! My guests just drive back to Salem, North Carolina.

@RobertGilliamHurwitzNeal 2 года назад

@@newenglandfineliving aww, Winston-Salem. I really do miss both New England and North Carolina often I find - especially as I get older. What is that?! Every time you do a small town visit I feel my heart tug…ergghhhh (but in a really great way). We also lived in West Roxbury, Newton, and Marshfield. Loved them all. Mother even bought a mountain in NH once…bringing my NE experience closer to you. I was 10 I think. ‘You bought a what Mama? Why’?! No good reason. She just loved the idea. That was Mama. Completely covered in birch. It was a jaw-dropper, if perhaps a little creepy, but only had a cabin and out-house - so a big nada for Rob. I’m assuming you’ve been down to see them but if not you’ll have to visit Old Salem. Moravian. Those darned cookies are cookie crack! And be sure to go during market at High Pointe…but knowing you, as I think I’m getting to, bring a Semi. That stuff is basically free and talk about jaw-dropping!

That was a great score on the water fountain, and as to the thunder.....when you said Rip Van Winkle, my mind instantly went to a story on the "Wishbone" series of Rip Van Winkle....I used to watch it with my son when he was little as our snuggle time in the afternoons!
