The curtains behind the bed look great 👍😊but I really don't get the hundreds-of-pillows-on-the-bed look!!! They are just such a nuisance, especially at bedtime. I don't think they add anything to the look of the bedroom either 🤔 😕
I’m old enough to be your grandma. When I was much younger, I had yellow green cabinets like yours. We had wallpaper and it was so cheery. Not everyone liked it but it put a smile on my face.
A person's home is a reflection of who they are, and what makes their heart smile. I don't decorate for anyone but myself. My home is my Peace, my Safe Haven, my Heart.
When I was younger, my grandfather (a painter) told my grandmother he was going to paint the kitchen while she was away for a few days. He painted the cabinets red and the walls and ceiling that same chartreuse green. When he told her, she was soooooo upset! 😅 But when she saw it, she wasn't sure she hated it, and after all the complements started rolling in, she was very proud of it. This was in the 1960's. I have always said I would re-create that kitchen if i ever found the right house. ❤
Your bedroom is so sweet! I am kinda getting tired of watching videos where people are constantly buying new decor to decorate their homes. I cannot imagine how costly that is and styles and seasons are constantly changing. We all need to be more practical.
There is a lot of joy in "nesting" ... nearly everything in nature builds a nest, gardens, and enjoys their surroundings - choosing them wisely to offer safety and comfort.
Hi from Australia, just a little of advice, plz invest in a good mattress protector. If you invest in a good mattress you should protect is. I have 2 protectors so when I change my sheets I change my protector. Sending blessings 🙌 🙏
We have our mattresses encased in zippered, breathable cases that prevent dust mites, and then use a mattress protector atop that. It just gives me peace of mind not to share the bed with dust mites, especially after I saw a photo. 😁
@@EmeryShae I live in North Queensland Australia, tropics very humid in our summer that lasts from October to April, very hot climate. I buy bamboo pillow and mattress protectors. We have aircons but my husband sweats in bed. The protectors made out of bamboo are very good or also ones made with pure cotton. Sending blessings 🙌 🙏
You are amazing with redecorating your bedroom. I’m 79 and I’ve never had the nerve to put drywall supports in the walls with an electric screwdriver! I was afraid I would go too far into the wall. I always needed help with projects.
My sisters and I did,( still do) our homes the same way. The hunt is the fun part I think. I have been married 54 years now and I still can’t buy full price home and garden items, except the large items, I prefer the yard, thrift store, and on line used item prices best!! Never change your way it’s the best! Even my clothes!
Hi Andrea, you are so precious. I am an old maw maw but I remember feeling so blessed everyday that I got to be home. I worked for 40 years and now I get to be home everyday now. I still love it and never get bored. Life is so good and I'm blessed by God to be able to enjoy my home. Ty for sharing. It brings back lots of memories.
The new pillow shams are lovely. You make it look easy. I find that when I "rush" to decorate/redecorate a room, I end up compromising on my vision. I need a lamp so I take one that is almost what I'm looking for, but not quite. Then, when I do find the lamp I want, I have to find a new home for the placeholder or not purchase it. It's hard on the budget to buy everything at once, but it also can lead to disappointment. Instead, I have a little savings and a list, and when I come across the lamp I've pictured, I can buy it. Can you tell I'm currently in the market for a lamp?😂 I've furnished my home little by little this way.
A home curated over time looks so much better than a "room in a box" type of home. And unfortunately, the room-in-a-box look is what most of the people we know seem to do. I have been collecting and curating for almost 40 years, now, and I love changing up my home for the seasons.
It’s so refreshing to see myself in you, starting out as a new stay at home mom ( I’m now 65 years old). We had the same ideas, the only thing was I never liked sewing, but everything else was the same. My parents instilled in me to budget everything and save. And I must say, it has worked a treat, never went into debt, and in the end, I appreciated everything I got more! I absolutely love how you have decorated your bedroom, kitchen ( your kitchen appliances remind me of the kitchen I had when growing up, as I said in your previous vlogs) and your living room. Looking forward to see your next vlog and enjoy your other two sister vlogs as well. Each individual and calming!
TLDR- bit of a rant and agreeing that a little at a time is the way to go I was actually just talking about this with my 70-year-old neighbor. He doesn't like seeing our rakes, bikes, empty pots, etc stacked up and propped up against the back of our house. He keeps telling me to throw it away or get storage solutions. I have tried numerous times to politely explain to him that if we had a garage or the money for a shed, he wouldn't see it...plus we use it all so no, I will not throw it away. (The audacity!!) He told me to at least get some storage containers for the empty pots (garden is done and I can't put in a fall garden this year...hence the empty pots) but we can't afford that right now either. My youngest, who was standing right there, was lamenting how the inside of our house looks. We moved here last fall and the move and this state cost way more than we thought, plus unexpected expense after unexpected expense has us really struggling. We had no idea it was going to be so difficult to find decent secondhand furniture (we have no desire to buy brand new). Couple that with the fact that freight is at the lowest my husband has ever seen it (OTR trucker) and...well...getting furniture and curtains just isn't a priority right now. Bills and food comes first. This neighbor is trying to insist that we go get something cheap and ugly just to have SOMETHING. Sir, been there and done that. No more. Bills are more important and we'd rather just go without until we can afford what we want. We do not have champagne taste, mind you, but we do like what we like. Oh, and he says we should throw out most of what we have inside, too, because "you don't need it." Um, we were homeless at one point (which he is aware of) and know quite well that you can live without 99% of what you have. Doesn't mean we should. He also said we should demand (yes, DEMAND) that our landlord pay for cosmetic changes, such as flooring (one of the bedrooms has indoor/outdoor carpet with what appears to be plywood underneath) and kitchen cabinet handles (currently they have none and it's a pain to open the drawers). I had simply mentioned that if we are still stuck here in two years that we want to make it a little nicer. His response/suggestion to it REEKS of entitlement if you ask me... Eventually, we'll have a house that looks like a home. Nice curtains, lamps, more bookshelves, dressers, a china cabinet, pretty things to make it homey, etc. Until then, especially since we are renting while looking for a place to buy, we are simply making do. I don't understand why this is such a difficult concept for some people to grasp, but ehh. Nothing I can really do about it. Edit: If anyone read all this, I appreciate it. Just needed to get it off my chest as it's been really bothering me :-/
You do you and tell that old man you are busy and can't talk now. He is using you for his own entertainment because he's bored! Take it from me! I'm 75 and if I was your neighbor, I would be offering to help you in some way instead of giving un asked for advice and instructions how you should be living. He is an old busy body. Keep to yourself and be happy. You don't need his guff!
Hang in there, seems you have a very solid head on your shoulders! Ignore the neighbor, he probably means well but has zero people skills. Too bad yall don't have a fence and he wouldn't be able to see the stuff leaning against the house!
I had the same thing with my neighbor wanting me to put up a new fence. He rents I own. Finally had to ask him how much he was going to contribute. That ended it.
You certainly inspire me, thank you. I'm a grandma of 4, so much older than you but........ you and your sisters have given me a new/fresh way of looking at my home and garden. You're all brilliant.
I love the pillow cases you made. You’ve inspired me to try that technique. And your bedroom looks fabulous with the curtains hung that way. What a great idea! ❤
Your home is so cheery. I imagine that when family and friends come, they instantly feel welcomed and loved. I imagine they leave with a smile on their face. I love your videos(sisters too)
Oh I am so glad i found your videos! You are so inspiring! I loved being a stay at home Mom, I loved cooking every day for my husband and kiddos, decorating, and having celebrations at my home! I didn't sew back then although , I knew how, but I have started sewing again and crocheting like my grandma taught me! Its so rewarding and important to have hobbies as you get older! ( I'm 63) I love your sewing room, too! I need to get organized and I love the way you have decorated yours! You are very lovely and inspiring!!
Hi from Australia. I am a first time viewer as your video came up as recommended to me. Your manner of speaking clearly and concisely is appreciated especially for the likes of me who have hearing loss. I look forward to following you.
Congrats on the sponosorship! You deserve it. I love your channel so much. You seem like such a fun, chill, and sweet person. I love watching your videos and get inspired by your life and home.
I'm late watching this week-what a treat! So peaceful and lovely. I didn't start sewing until I was in my 50's. I what to sew clothing that fits me but when I'm struggling I can always count on a pillow case or shame for a satisfying win! I love your shorts, those pockets 😍and your dresses! Beautiful flowers, meals and your kitchen❤❤❤. How is the new stove working out? It's so practical and gorgeous!
I really enjoyed this video. I have a tip for anyone using the tortilla holder. Place a clean linen cloth inside the container, place the tortillas in the center, and fold the edges onto the tortillas. It helps with the condensation that forms from the steam.
Agreed! It's a breath of fresh air from the whites, beiges, greys, other neutrals, and washed out, desaturated "colors" we see too much of. It's warm and inviting, welcoming and full of life, soul, and character. Love it!
This video just put me in the best mood. I absolutely love your simple, natural style to home decor and making a home in general. The taco "formula" was an awesome idea. Can't wait to try the roast version. I never would have thought of that. Also, the music you chose is so relaxing. I just found you and subscribed and can't wait to go back and watch your older videos.
All you girls (Sisters and kids) have such a strong genetic visual look, its incredible just how alike you all look, you are a imagine of Lisa's Daughters.
Just found you, so joined your channel. I love the colour of your kitchen units, they are so uplifting, and fun. Thank you for this lovely video. Blessings from Jilly & Madge the black rescue greyhound, from West Devon, England. xxx
Good morning 😊 I always enjoy your videos!! You and your husband's bedroom looks so nice! What an easy transformation. Your flower arrangements are so beautiful!! God Bless you and your sweet family!🙏
Haven’t commented before…but that beautiful photo on your bedroom side table would look great hung on the wall over the cord under the lamp. Will give you a clear surface too! Beautiful
You need more curtain panels. Also looks best if you are able to leave the curtains open and if you want shade get like a pull down shade or something. I would also get cord covers for the sconces so they look neater. You can paint them. Too many pillows on the bed. Aren’t the buttons on pillow cases typically the back side as well? It looks like they are backwards on your bed.
Enjoy this season in your life. It flies by and you turn around and find yourself with growing grandchildren and retirement. That all fun, but I am glad you are taking the slow road and savoring the journey.
The bedroom looks so comfy & cozy😊 The Flowers/garden looks beautiful, love all the arrangements too! Add just a small pinch of sugar to your water, the flowers will last just a little longer! Always enjoy you videos😊
I really like the color of your kitchen cabinets. It is unique and I have not really seen kitchen cabinets that color. They are lovely and it adds such a pop to your kitchen.
Love your chartreuse kitchen color partnered with the vintage appliances! It's so refreshing to see from watching video after video with "neutral" tones. I have a small U-shaped kitchen with no window; keeping it looking cozy is paramount. I'm learning I prefer stripes to checks and am seeing this subconscious decision all around my home.
Eat pot roast and watch football 😂 LOL! But in all seriousness, I have such strong and fond memories of the cool fall breeze coming in the windows, the smell of a roast in the oven, and the sound of football on the TV. Pot roast and football forever! 🩵🏈
Interesting. In Australia we call them "Tailored Pillow Cases" but they are often actually labelled "Tailored Pillow Shams"... or many call them "you know... the ones with the extra edge around them"😂
Honest question… My mom was a lifelong homemaker who made all of my cloths including my wedding dress. And I must say that I loved it and was always in with the current styles. Back in my day and where we lived - someone talented with a sewing machine was called a seamstress. Is that an old term from that generation and the younger generation uses sewist? Or is it a regional thing and depends on where you live?? Either way I am so impressed at how much skill you have gained in such a short time. You are very talented! I love your channel and your siblings channels! You all seem to make this “simpler” and beautiful way of life so appealing to those of us living the rat race!! ❤🙌🏻
I found your channel today. Lovely Chanel. Need to know are you sister to Lisa at Simple Farmhouse life? Sound alike and know she has sisters. Blessings❤
Beautiful serene bedroom. I watch you from the Himalayas. I live in a village. Thanks to modern technology, I am able to watch you and your sisters. I love you three.
Hey there! So excited for another video. I want a Birch mattress. It's on the top of my list this fall or winter! I am IN LUV with your new range. Avocado Green is my favorite color and especially appliance colors. I wish they would bring back the harvest gold as well for modern appliances but for some reason that stainless seems to be the forever color favorite. I have that in my kitchen because I have no other choice and since they are all paid for I am stuck for the time being. I liked the creamy bisque color but it's really hard to find now. It's so cozy. Anyway, I will just enjoy your fridge and range for the time being. Thanks for another soothing, relaxing video. Needed it!!! xo Your friend Nancy from OHIO
Love your kitchen. I"m also loving your updated bedroom. Where do you get your meat? We have looked into many local and ordering services but havent' found anything affordable for five. Kind of feeling stuck with Aldi organic right now.
I was wondering, are you from the same region as teh Framhouse on Boon? I think she is from the Midwest. You sound exactly like her! The voice and the way of formulating things, the pauses between words etc...very funny!
I just came across your channel. Almost instantly I thought you sound so much like Lisa from Farmhouse on Boone….. kept watching & now I’m pretty sure you are her little sis 😂
I love your sconces! I've been looking for the perfect ones for months. Can you share where you bought them? It's fun to time travel and see what feeling like a mom of one was like. Mine are 10 years past baby stage now, makes me mourn that season a bit.
What a lovely vlog! I noticed you didn’t use dairy in your afternoon coffee. Are you dairy free? If so, can you please share more videos using dairy alternatives?!?!!!
...I am probably old enough to be your Grandmother..lol.( depending on your age ..,) I have been doing a pot roast taco deal for ....probably 40 + years.. A good, large Pot Roast ,even back then was a little pricey... . A really good one and you wanted to get a big one, Because you could make 3 to 4 meals out of one roast. We would make tacos, then another night. We would have hot roast beef, sandwiches. Or something like that and then another night , I took the leftover meat and made a delicious Vegetable Beef Soup ,made with fresh onions/ carrots/ peas/ potatoes... served with a Crusty Type of Bread, or Cornbread.. .. I was taught about using leftovers as much as I could.I was taught frugal shopping and getting things that would make multiple Meals. I still cook this way , having raised 3 daughters. ...and these tyoes of Meals made from Leftovers also make great " Freezer Meals "....to have on hand on busy days, or just be abke to not " have to cook the entire Meal " everyday. :)
Love the colors in your bedroom! Can you please share the paint color thats on your bedroom walls and where you purchased your curtains!? Thank you :))
@@Oursweetsunnydays thank you!! Do you mind sharing where you got your curtains from? Ive been looking for some green curtains for some time and yours are such a pretty color!
