I have 4 kids, 6years old and under. We don't have a rug under the table, either. But i just found the company called ruggable, washable rugs. Going to try it out with a smaller area in my daycare to see how well they work.
Good morning! Whenever my kids were little I didn't have a rug under the dining room table. I chose practicality over esthetics. Now my kids are grown and I have a rug under the table. If you're in a season of keeping it practical, embrace it. They don't stay little forever. Have a blessed weekend. - Arlene
I am so glad that you gave those words of encouragement to just be happy in your home and where you're at.. that was something I really needed to hear so thank you for saying that.. my husband and I currently live in a single wide trailer and have been looking for a house but nothing has opened up yet but we have both been reminded that we just need to be content and happy where we're at right now the land that we live on is absolutely beautiful and we love it.
I agree! So many times you hear people complaining that they “can’t find this piece” or “really need to find something for here” and they go out and panic buy something that they aren’t going to like in 6 months. If they would slow down and just enjoy the hunt… they would be happy. They really could live with what they have until they find “THE PIECE!” And there is nothing better than cleaning and decorating on a stormy, rainy day! Love that! We don’t get too many storms in So Cal so when they do happen…I enjoy it! Great video! Enjoy! 🥰 Karen
I have a 2 year old and 4 week old so I get the struggle; but it is therapeutic when I can get the house a little in order and it feels so much more peaceful. Thank you for being so real and such a positive influence! Your home is so peaceful and beautiful 💕
Hello I just wanted to say thank you! I had torn rotator cuff surgery a while back. It is a very painful surgery and it’s a long recovery. I spent most days sitting on the couch in an arm sling feeling sorry for myself because I couldn’t do much. I’m normally a very independent person and not being able to do much for myself was a very emotional thing for me. I clicked onto one of your videos one day and half way though your video I found myself straightening the coffee table in front of me. So I clicked onto another one of your videos and before I knew it I was cleaning my whole house. My mood greatly improved and everyday from then on got a little easier. I can’t say thank you enough. And to all of the ladies who take time out of their busy schedules to make these videos I am truly grateful! Keep up the great work! God bless!
Amy, your home is coming together so beautifully. You and your husband have done an amazing job with the renovation. You guys have managed to keep the character of the farmhouse intact, while also making it a modern home that your young family needs. My Mom always made me and my siblings cleanup our play area when we were done playing. And she never allowed us to make a mess in the main living areas. I'm grateful to her for that. My kitchen, living room, and main bathroom are always clean and tidy. I just function better that way😂. I think that your home look remarkable!
You have such a beautiful house and your uplifting comments are so so great for those of us who are still working on houses. Keep up the good work!! Love you!
A sisal or jute rug would look beautiful under your dining table and coordinate with the wicker chairs; and be easier to clean up. Love how the home is coming together. Always look forward to your videos. Have a blessed weekend! ☀️
I dislike having to clean a rug under the table too. HOWEVER, you’re right it does anchor the room. Maybe something made from natural materials,(jute, bamboo, etc.). My fav thing to clean a kitchen sink with is the Lemon Verbena cream cleanser too. I just love that scent. Nice video. Everything looks so nice. Have a great week.
I love the video. I used to have rug under the dining table and took it out about a year. I should have done it sooner. What a relieve it has been not dealing with the cleaning and constantly telling everyone not to drop food on the rug.
Oh my word! Amy!!! We are searching for our next home currently. This market is NUTS. We lost a home earlier this week and we were so sad. We are just ready to move on. I have been feeling so anxious about it. Your words just hit me in the heart. Be content. You are so right. Thank you for that reminder ❤️
I am so happy to see your new video, Amy! We are closing on a new home in Virginia and are moving from Ohio this week. We owned our last home for over 27 years. It was built in 1800 and we remodeled the whole thing. It was part of the Underground Railroad. We raised our daughters there, so it has been hard to leave. We sold it In March and had to move to a condo as we looked for a home to purchase in virginia. It’s been a long and stressful ordeal, as my husband works for the air force. Anyway, I love what you said towards the end of your video. You are right, just embrace where you are right now. Things will end up okay and just enjoy the process of making a home. God bless you, honey!
Hi Amy Always enjoy your videos. I think your home is beautiful and you’re still getting things done. Can’t imagine how much more it will be. Love when everything has a home and you can straighten your rooms. Thanks for sharing n looking forward to your next video. Have a fantastic and blessed weekend.
I'm a new subscriber and I truly love your videos!!! Please don't ever stop making them!! I too am a wife and a mother of two and you truly are inspiring!!!
Hi Amy I am cleaning along with you today. I got a lot to do today. We actually might be moving soon. So adding to my pile but that's ok. We are letting the lord leading our family.
I usually don't like cleaning videos but enjoy yours because you mention the products you use. Your home looks so cozy. I don't use a rug in dining area for the same reason you mentioned. Your cookies looked good .
Your new kitchen and dining room are just gorgeous. So bright and inviting..no better feeling than a clean and sparkly kitchen. Personally, I agree with you and wouldn’t put a rug under the table until your little ones are older. I looked for your chocolate chip cookie recipe but didn’t see it. They looked so yummy! 🙂❤️
Greetings from Texas!!! I really enjoy your content and find your videos so calming ☺️. Congratulations on the house and I love how you are decorating it. I’m not a farmhouse girl but honestly the way you approach farmhouse is not super trendy and you have a great eye for decorating! We have a formal dining table and a kitchen table and I agree … no rugs underneath. Makes clean up so much easier! Have a blessed week Amy!!!
I love a clean house. Especially the kitchen. Thanks for sharing your cleaning day. I think you inspired me to clean. Love your channel. Can’t wait for your up coming videos.
Great video everything is looking so beautiful. Needed the reminder today to take my time and be content. We have bought a fixer upper and of course I want everything done at one time but it’s just me and my husband doing the work . And this is our forever home (we are 57 yrs. old 😅) so not moving anymore the lord willing .
I always feel like I am cleaning with a friend. There is just a warm presence about you. I've always wanted a rug underneath my dinning table but choose pratical over aesthetics. My kids are much older and I am now thinking of purchasing an outdoor rug for easier clean.
I was disappointed when you took the glass door built in’s out, it felt like you was taking away from the character of the house but from the wide angle view from the sitting room you most definitely made the right decision. Your home is so cozy. It takes me back to childhood and a remembrance of my grandparents home 💖 While I was looking at your three long drawers I had memories of my grandmother’s kitchen, she had three at the end of her very long counter and in them she stored her real silverware in a chest and all her towels and tablecloth’s. The silver only came out on special occasions and she would sit and polish each piece herself as we sit and listened to her talk. Thank you for the walk back in time. Love your channel you are one of the few that truly has true passion for what you do on You Tube 🌺🌸
For years I didn't have a rug under our table. Then I just couldn't handle not having one, so I decided to go outnin a limb and get a ruggable rug. My style is very similar to yours, and I went with the Kamran rug in coral. Oh my goodness, it's gorgeous and practical. I've had entire bowls of soft baby food dumped on it and it cleans up beautifully. It really ties the space together and is honestly easier to clean than the floor. I love how you're taking a beautiful old home and making it even more beautiful.
I think the beautiful wood floors look perfect without a rug. I have had a rug under the dining room table in the past but in our new home I opted for no rug. It makes cleaning so much easier and the room is beautiful without a rug. I don’t miss it 🙂
So I watched this yesterday and it definitely got me motivated! I cleaned and organized my whole kitchen and laundry room! I also LOVE your kitchen and how much natural light that window in front of the sink gives off! Your dining room is ADORABLE! I love your message about learning to love the home you’re in and embracing the little imperfections! Thank you for your openness and sharing your home! 🥰🥰🥰
I have watched your videos for some time now. I just love your old house and remodels etc. I also have a 100 +yr old house fixed up that needs fixed up again lol. You inspired me to paint my back mud room yesterday LOL Thanks for that! Love your kitchen- mine is the same size and I was thinking the layout you have is what I have been planning for our remodel in the future- now I have a visual as to what it could look like.
Morning Amy. Your home is just stunning. Love how you decorate very tasteful. Can’t wait for your next video. Cherish the messies the kid leave they grow so quick.
If you want a rug Amy, try Ruggable which are washable and very durable! Crystal Tara has many and I am so happy to own one! They are kid friendly and come in two pieces, the base and the washable top! They are truly amazing! Your kitchen is simply gorgeous and your decorating is over the top! I live for your video’s!
I just got home from work , I’m exhausted & I decided to see what was on & saw your video it was so relaxing , love your new home and decor can’t wait to see more videos :)
I love a bright, and clean kitchen. Beautiful kitchen Amy!! I have no rug under my kitchen table for he reasons you stated. I think you should leave it just like it is.
Your message about your home is absolutely perfect 🥰 I think your home is so homely every time I watch one of your videos it’s like a big warm hug of happiness xx
I love that you reminded your viewers that it doesn’t happen over night. I get stressed out because I can’t do everything all at once, but you are right. Enjoy the journey. What color are you going to paint your main room?
So nice to visit with you, Amy. I am currently doing a whole house declutter during my home renovation. As each room gets finished, I am decluttering before putting all of the furniture back. Big job with lots of donations happening 😊. It's so satisfying to get each room done. Remodeling is certainly a long process. I am not a fan of rugs in dining areas, too much work to keep clean, just lazy that way. Have a wonderful weekend.
Hi Amy, I just wanted to let you know that I don’t have a rug under my dining table . For all the reasons you don’t want to put one under your table. I love watching your videos . You are so inspirational. Their needs to be more people like you in the world . You are the best.
Great video as always!! Its so good to see videos like these and people like you that bring a Joy to the world. Its very relaxing a refresher, and calming in this crazy world we all live in. May God Bless you and your family!! ❤ Keep up the Good work Sweet👍
I leave the floor bare under my table... I have pets and like you the thought of having to scrub the carpet is more work than I really want to do... your dining room looks gorgeous without a rug
LOVE your home, it's so lovely, most especially the kitchen...and, oh, that sink!!! That sink reminds me of my grandma's!! By the way, the Baking Soda Cream is GREAT to get grease off cabinets! Even with regularly wiping them down, there's still a build up that seems to occur and the baking soda cuts right through that and leaves cabinet fronts looking brand new!! I'm always shocked how much comes off my cabinets even though I rarely fry anything and you don't even see it, but it's there! Thanks for all the tips and sharing your beautiful home with us!!
Amy, Your kitchen is just wonderful. It will go with you for years. It is laid out perfect. You have fun in it. baking and displaying your cookies in a pretty cake plate. I know you have more work to do but you have come a long way. Your house may be old and that is good. My home is 43 years old and can't be changed that much. But I love to decorate it also. Have fun! Joyce
Your house is a dream. So cozy! I have a rug under our kitchen table currently just to break up the wood tones. We are replacing our floors soon and hoping to not have to have one. They do get messy!
Amy, I love your home. And it is so refreshing to see some dark wood instead of all the white. I love white on the walls, but I think white walls just pops dark furniture. Love your dining room and kitchen. Love the sink. I love the whole house. Just beautiful! Your server or buffet is just gorgeous, so is the little corns hutch. You have done a great job with this house. So beautiful!
Always it’s a cozy time in your cideos❤️ For the rug I don’t have where we eat because I don’t want to clean as you said. The only rugs I have I place them only on the winter time in the living room where we seat and they are wash able. Very good rugs made out of cotton and you can wash them. This is life changing!
Have to you are one of my favorite to watch. Am enjoying watching your journey with the construction of your home. Love what you did with the kitchen. You have great motivation. Letting us know that your home is not always perfect.
For several years we had an oblong braided rug under our table but like you mentioned it was so dirty from dropped food and spills, I got tired of cleaning it! It’s now so much easier to just mop under the table. Just my opinion:) Yummy cookies!! 🤤
Please do a laundry room DIY. I have been wanting to do something different with mine for a long time now and I'm just stuck, and I love your style so I'm sure I would get so much inspiration from you!!!!
It’s a rainy day here in Missouri too! I don’t have a rug under my table but have been thinking of getting one. I’ll just have to stay on top of it. 😬. Ur videos always bring a smile to my face and a skip to my step! Happy Saturday!!
Hi Amy I always love your videos and I think your home is beautiful. I now have a rug under my dining room table, my children are grown up now!! It stops the room having an echo and brings extra warmth and texture to the space
You definitely get me motivated to clean! I just love your channel. You have a such a sweet spirit and you are so genuine. I don't use a rug under my dining room table for the very same reasons you talked about. Love your kitchen faucet and sink! What dream to have such a huge sink! Great video Amy and I'm cleaning my house today because of you! :)
We have a rug in our dining room. It ties the room together. Your cookies look fabulous! I can almost smell them! Your newly remodeled kitchen is absolutely gorgeous!
It sure does feel like I’m with a friend when I watch your videos. I don’t have a rug under our table, I agree, it’s one more thing to clean. Your floors are gorgeous, I couldn’t cover them! My husband & I have been in our fixer upper for 3 1/2 years, we take it one project at a time, it’s better on the budget & we don’t feel overwhelmed. You’re right, enjoy the journey ☺️
Your kitchen and dining room are beautiful!! As far as a rug, I don’t have one under my table but the choice of a rug or no rug is up to you. Btw, you are precious.
