Spring Easter decor, spring cleaning, Laundry room update, when to flip a pancake 

The collar ruff. Used mainly as decoration while useful for keeping the clothing and collar clean. The ruff was worn by men, women, and children. Easily cleaned.

Love seeing Willow so comfy in the window!

Linda, your fireplace with sunshine streaming in the new windows and Willow asleep on the window seat!! So cozy and beautiful!!

You can stick foam in the green urn and then stick a long skewer in it and stick the skewer in the egg tree to fasten the 2 together .🐰🌷

The Elizabethan ruffle collar was a sign of wealth and also helped the wearer keep an upright posture.

The ruffle collar around the neck of Queen Bess in your painting is called a RUFF. This was worn by the wealthy or important people during the Elizabethan Era because they were the only ones that could afford them. Today, you would see them worn in a Shakespeare Play. I love that you are bringing back crafts from the 80’s or 90’s and re-introducing them to our new generation!!! Thanks for all your tips ! BMT/San Antonio, Texas

Your home is getting lovelier with each video. The quartz is gorgeous!

The tavern room looks amazing. Everything is just so well planned out. It’s like a winter wonderland in your yard. Enjoying all the reveals Linda and it’s just beginning ❄️❄️❄️❄️

The tavern is absolutely glorious. It photographs very well. The color of the cabinets, the wallpaper, the countertop all work together so beautifully. Your vision is truly remarkable. Excellent job! Kudos to you, my friend.

Thank you so much for letting us enjoy a wonderfully fulfilling, vicarious decorating journey! I always look forward to seeing what's happening, as would my mother; she lit the spark in me at a young age to ensure I always considered making a home warm, personal, and beautiful in my own way - like you do! At 77, I'm still looking around my home thinking about what I might "upgrade." When I figure it out and get really excited, my dear, supportive husband just rolls his eyes, as if to say, "Here we go again!"

OMG, the snow looks beautiful. We live in NW Pa and have had hardly any snow. (We are not complaining) Your home is coming along beautifully. So worth the wait. Here's to spring!

For the base layer...Use a spray adhesive (like Elmer's brand) it works wonders... spray down the cone and wait a couple of seconds for the substance to get tacky, then apply the moss. 😊

It's called an Elizabethan Ruff. These were used to protect gowns or doublets from becoming soiled and were separate pieces from the garment themselves. Starch was used to make these stiff.

I think it is called a “ruff” around Good Queen Bess’ neck. The Royal Ruff! 😉 I sure love how your kitchen and dining room turned out!

Beautiful snow. We haven’t had much snow in my area so far, but we usually do. Loved the egg tree. I think I have the materials to make at least 1. I always loved Martha’s show and her magazine. I also love using Old English polish but my sister who use to live in Mississippi sent me some Natchez polish and I really like it. I loved seeing sweet Willow in the window seat. 🐾😊💗

Yes, her scalf collar is called a ruff. I love your home, it is so spacious, and beautifully presented by yourself. xxx

The prettiest laundry room I’ve ever seen! Never would had thought of hiding the washer/dryer like you did. Very clever. It looks really nice. Great job. Can’t wait to see the finished look. Stay warm⛄️⛄️

Hi Linda! What a wonderful segment showing crafting, cleaning, and updates of your amazing home. The tavern room looks beautiful and oh, to have a counter like yours to fold laundry-I might be able to fold fitted sheets like Martha did in one of her programs! Love your Easter topiary and know you will use the urns for many things. Your pancakes look delicious and perfectly cooked. Sometimes it’s the little details that make the difference and many do not know. When I demonstrated Pamper Chef products and recipes and would casually say you could use whipped cream or add a glaze, several young ladies would ask “how do you whip cream” or “how do you make a glaze”, I realized that those simple techniques were not familiar to everyone. I smiled when you went outside and remarked about the clean fresh smell and could recreate it in my mind. Loved the O😊ld English demonstration - used it on wood floor scratched by moving refrigerator and it is a great product. Looking forward to your next segment…..thank you for not only inspiring me but allowing me to relax and realize that small projects finished help the total come together when I am feeling overwhelmed!

This was such a fun video. I just love the tavern room and all the decorating. Thanks Linda. I could watch these everyday.

Queen Bess has a high collar ruff-maybe a forerunner of the turtle neck?....LOL. Willow loves the window seat. How nice she has found a spot to call her own. Love how everything is turning out. Beautiful decorating. Looks like you got the snow they were predicting for us.....lucky you!!!

So much time, effort and cost, but SO beautiful when everything finally comes together in your home! Really enjoyed the video and the very cute Easter egg tree. :) ~~M~~

Love it when you do crafts! Love Willow - she is just so sweet and has to be wherever momma is!

Wow…the property looks like a picture postcard covered in deep snow…and the inside is totally gorgeous too…loving how it’s all coming together…🥰🇦🇺

Linda, I enjoy all your videos. You have a soothing voice, your home is lovely, and that dog is a scamp! I know Willow is not giving up her spot by the window. I just took brownies out of the oven and tomorrow we’re going antiquing… normally I’d stay home and do more chores, but you’ve inspired me to enjoy life… thank you!

Your vision was just as I knew it would be. Just beautiful. I loved this video, a little bit of everything. Willow was precious laying on the window seat, fire going, snow outside, sun shining in. So cozy and warm. Take care.

Love this. Willow is the star of this video watching her looking out the window and lounging ;-)

Awww, the dog is sooo cute! Sitting so still and looking through the window into winter idyll! Probably wants to go out and play😂😂

I don't always understand why you would change things, but I Always, Love the end result! Your designs and decor are Fabulous!!!

Linda: I somehow missed this video when it was first published. Wow!!! What a laundry room! It is really not a laundry room, but rather it is a gorgeous area and I have never seen anyone do that trick. It is beautiful and you are such a creative and wonderful designer. I am so impressed. We are going to have a couple of rooms re-done. I am going to speak to a couple of designers for our home, but they are not going to have your creativity. No one does!

Hi Linda. Ok. I doubted your vision for the Tavern and WOW I was wrong. I admit it. What a beautiful space! Everyone needs a laundry room with liquor, crystal and lovely chairs in it. Lol. Your work is amazing!

Beautiful topiary. Eggs are the perfect color. Love your videos. You make them calming and so pleasant to watch and listen to.

Willow has found the best spot in the house! I love the Easter egg topiary….very cute and looks easy to do! Your tavern room is just lovely and that countertop fits like a glove… I know what you mean, though…when we redid the kitchen in Bedford, I could not watch them as they brought the granite countertop in. I was so afraid it was going to be dropped and shattered into million pieces! But of course that did not happen. Thanks for sharing your talents with us!🦋

Love to use a Miracle clothes brush to dust my lampshades!

The outdoors look beautiful, but by March I’m ready for sunshine ☀️

I love the peaceful quiet from the accumulation after a bigger snowfall. All seems to be in another more sacred world. Thank you for sharing these special moments of life helping me remember to do the same. Spring will come in its’ time….

What a beautiful home, inspires me to get on with my cleaning& clearing out of stuff, & painting jobs 🙄what an amazing place to live with that outside of your door 😌

Love seeing sweet Willow in “ her” window. What a great girl she is!

Laundry has never looked better! I could wash everything in the house in that room! 😂

I use the old fashioned office rubber finger tips when hot gluing. Eliminated many swear words.

Linda I just love your style, you have done such a great job designing your home. I never miss watching your videos.

I love the way everything is being transformed. I also use “Old English” polish on my old pieces, for my refinished pieces I use nothing but “Guardsman” cream polish. The topiary looks great, gave me ideas for different holuday decor pieces. Would you demonstrate one with shells for summer?

Linda , thank you for all the hard work you put into making your channel so entertaining, so interesting, so classy , so relaxing . It is a true joy to spend time with you in this way ! I have one question - are your fireplaces wood or gas ? And would you give us a commentary on pros and cons of each ? I am accustomed to a wood burning stove , which I love . But I am curious about the use of gas , and specifically, does it feel like a ‘fake’ fire ? I know that sounds silly , but it is a big investment and I want to make an informed decision going forward . Thank you for considering this question !!

Every video makes me think 'Why didn't I think of that'. The laundry area is brilliant, as is the tavern. The egg tree project is fun to see. The snow is beautiful... at your house. Always love seeing Willow.

You have a lovely home. Yes hopefully in another week my counter tops will be coming in for the kitchen. That is my big fear right now. Please don't drop it or break it trying to get it into the house. Thanks for the tip with the duster to give it static so it can pick up the dust. I too am tired of seeing and breathing dust.

I kept having to rewind the video......l was watching your little Willow and would miss out on what you were saying. Thanks for sharing and l liked the topiaries. Just the right colors for your decor.

It’s called a ruff ☺️ your home looks so lovely! 💕

I really like how your egg topiary came out! Just a quick tip, if you run out of floral pins and you have heavy gauge floral wire, you can cut and make your own pins too. And your tavern room, that's looking like a crown jewel!

I love your videos! They are so inspirational, and I learn so much from you. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. There's nothing like being in nature, even in the snow ❄️. I love the peaceful atmosphere and being able to hear the sounds of the birds plus just the magic of it all. The tavern looks amazing, I'm sure you are thrilled it's completed. Have a Wonderful Day!

How exciting !!! You’d think I was getting new things ! 😂 I am happy for you ! God Bless ! 💕❤️💕

The glass sides of your sink area upper cabinets was a great idea and add to having a dressy casual space. Comfortable elegance!❤

It's all so perfect. I love your enthusiastically calm and decorating style. 😊

Everything looks great....how exciting to have things finally reaching completion! I do have to say I think Willow was the Star of this "Show" LOL, I couldn't keep my eyes off her .....she certainly loves her new spot. Also, just wanted to let you know I just bought some of those eggs last week at Christmas Tree and they had quite a few bags. Happy Decorating!!!

A ruff is an item of clothing worn in Western, Central, and Northern Europe and Spanish America from the mid-16th century to the mid-17th century.

It turned out really beautiful, I love it. Old English scratch cover was my go to having raised boys..lol.

Wow just beautiful all wrap with a big bow made of snow ❤

I really like the doors painted white in a recent video . Easter egg topiary came out great , another thing I could try to make 😊

OH MY GOD, your laundry room is the laundry of dreams! CLASSY Linda! Just like you! Another Beautiful video, thanks for posting! Your home is soooo New England Lovely!!

Use a hairdryer on low to remove glue “webs” on your topiaries

I’ve never wanted to sit in a “laundry room” more ! The tavern is so cozy. Everything has just turned out beautifully

Love all your improvements. The laundry room is to die for😊

Thanks for the hot glue tip of keeping a bowl of water nearby. I've burned myself so many times!

Your home is so lovely -- absolutely adore the tavern, with the hidden washer and dryer, how clever! Your channel makes me wish I could retire and move to a small town in New England. Here in Florida, it was muggy as hell already at 9 am while I was cleaning up my back patio. Ugh, not looking forward to 10 months of this.

The guys did a nice job cutting that corner. 😊

I am so happy to see your projects “almost done”! And now you can get back to all the things you love to do. It was worth the wait❤️❤️❤️

Absolutely love the colors, decor’, the comforting feeling of your home… looking forward to your DIY’s, gardening, baking and all that you do! You are so gifted! With the construction almost through…let the fun begin! ❤️ 😂 🐣 🌷 ☕️ 🍰

Linda, I love watching your creative problem solving with the moss. You came up with two great ideas.

Beautiful !!!

Loved your ideas and thank you for taking us along. your tidbits about the pancakes when to flip AND how to make them nice and round were wonderful. The tavern is looking so special and nice. All the thinking, planning and waiting is paying off as in the kitchen also. Enjoy your snow. I do miss living in New England. Thank you again for sharing. Oh I think you can order the eggs on line from Hobby lobby. See you next time.

Linda, I love seeing what you are up to! Love the craft idea and seeing your spaces come together!!

I keep saying your home is so beautiful. I hope you don't tire of hearing those words. I just marvel with every video. You are very talented, Linda.

I’m so excited for you. Things are coming along beautifully ❤! I love it!

Hi! I love your New England style. My husband and I went on a motorcycle trip through Vermont and New Hampshire and I loved the old homes. We’re from Canada so a very different style. I like how you have such a variety of things on your channel! Thanks for sharing 😊. I also have a dog named Willow ❤

Linda everything looks so beautiful. The new countertop is perfect , and Willow is the cuties!!

Love the egg topiaries- great idea using the wire to wrap the moss! I will have to use that one.

Thank you for sharing 😊 The projects that you envisioned are really pretty. So HAPPY for you.

Thanks so much Linda for another lovely day in your lovely home !!

Is there anything that can compare to the smell of a crisp winter day's newly fallen snow? I don't think so!!!! You continue to amaze us with your choices of finishes, colors and arrangements. So glad I am on this journey with you.

You have done such a terrific job of planning the changes being made. The laundry area is wonderful!!!!

Just beautiful, Linda! So happy for you.

So fun to see each new installment in your house………looking so beautiful ❤️

Yesterday I was about and about and the distinct scent of "spring" was in the air, despite the cold. 🥀🥀

The tavern room looks so nice and comfy!

Thank you very much to share you D I Y Easter project inspiration ideas i love🥰

Oh Linda, everything is so lovely! I know you must be happy to get your house "back". Years ago I made an egg topiary with blue and green eggs from a neighbor's chickens. Unfortunately the dogs were playing wrestle mania, leaped over the sofa and knocked it off the ottoman. That scratch cover is amazing stuff! 🙋‍♀️❄🐶

The pieces are coming together beautifully.

So very happy for you, everything looks wonderful. Many happy years ahead. 🥰

Love seeing your videos. I live in North Carolina so your weather is much different. Your house is beautiful and I am getting a lot of ideas from you.

What an absolutely wonderful laundry space. So much style and beauty.

Great video... thank you.

Willow is enjoying the scenery! 🤗

The tavern looks amazing! Such a relaxing video

Linda I love your channel! You are so much fun to watch.

Thank you Linda, this was a treat. God Bless

Great Video!!!! Love the cabinets in the Laundry Room ❤❤❤❤❤

Linda, i so look forward to your videos!! Seeing all your plans come together are wonderful! You have such a special touch in ideas and decorating!! Thank you!!

Looks amazing! The warmth of the colors you selected …well I would never tire of.

Wow! the results of all the work is wonderful.

I used cedar animal bedding (shavings) inside drawers of antique desk from chain smoker home. Worked great.

Wow. That tavern room came out so beautifully. I like the colors you have chosen for your decor throughout your home.

Absolutely gorgeous ☺️
