    I have an InstaPot! I waste a lot of vegetable matter. I'm going to try using my vegetable scraps for stock. Your wallpaper is exquisite! I, too, like the bee wallpaper .
    Sometimes, I wish you could show your organization scheme for your pantry contents. I am a widow, who downsized to a condo. I could sure use your wisdom.
    You have such a high quality life! Cheers!

      He's the kind of person that if the ceiling caved in and he was buried under it, he woluld calmly get up, calmly dust himself off and calmly say, "Okey dokey, now let's get organized."

    Kevin, you have chosen wisely. The paper that’s your favorite is beautiful and will stand the rest of time as far as versatility. It will compliment any change in decor you may want in the future.
    I started using the Instapot for soups also. The favor is identical to the long simmering soup but I do miss the aroma of a soup simmering in the stove.
    Thank you as always.

    I love dragonfly wallpaper. Like the Grimshaw paintings of the late 1800's. I looked high and low for dragon fly wallpaper for my bathroom 5 years ago. And only a British company had one. Today, there is a better selection for dragon fly wallpaper. I found one in green you might like for your bedroom, and you could keep all the same color schemes you have like the bedspread, etc: Art Nouveau Dragonflies | Med Cool Green Wallpaper bysouthwind But they have different colors.

  • @MrScottie68
    @MrScottie68 Рік тому +4

    My favorite is the “ornament and stripe”. It’s simple and unassuming yet a timeless classic. The pineapple pattern is nice, but I just don’t feel the pinkish rose color of the pineapple, especially for a male bedroom.

    Hi Kevin, I have been playing your videos almost all day, I have enjoyed listening and spending time here, such a joy. Calleen below is right about Mr. Rogers, I used to LOVE watching him everyday as a young child and still do every now and then depending on the mood. Wow, beautiful wall paper, I used to love plying it when I was younger, it was so much fun (at that time), I thought the glue was awesome and loved how it felt in my hands as I was placing the wall paper up, back then we did everything by hand, not like they do today. Hope you have a great rest of your week.

    Hi Kevin, I absolutely love your videos. You gave such a kind and calming way about you. The bird in your music room wallpaper, I believe, is called a Woo bird. I have an antique chinoiserie mirror with a bird similar to that on it, and that's what the description calls it.

Also the variety of your days.I was wondering if you have published any cookery books. I am just going to try making some of the scones, although it is a rather more elaborate recipe than I am used tò.Keep well.

  • @janebishop5885
    @janebishop5885 Рік тому +1

    The pineapple wallpaper would be pretty in a dining room. A bedroom is soothing with a light background and a gentle, calm, delicate pattern. But that room, with those bright windows, would come alive with a fresh coat of pistachio green paint and artic white trim and finished off with several gold framed floral paintings. But then, the bed would need to be white too which might be a bridge too far in a remodel. Lovely room, so much could be done with it but different drapes could transform it as it is now!

Your videos are encouraging for me to clean house and display all the beautiful items I brought with me from the UK. I love all your beautiful flower arrangments. And, I wonder if you ever use a teacosy? I wondered if you belong to a Historical or Music Society, when you mentioned getting ready for a concert. When you mentioned your tea service from Sheffield, the city is also famous for its cutlery. I really enjoy relaxing and seeing you working on all your projects, always full of inspiration!

I'm on a very tight budget, and try not to waste anything! I'm looking forward to seeing more wallpaper samples, and can't wait to see your completed bedroom makeover! That lentil loaf looks wonderful, too! I'm going to have to try it!

  • @cherylcentenioblessedvirgi3241

    Decades ago, I considered wall paper for the master bedroom and then I decided against it. Moving paintings and the mirrors hanging on the wall above the dresser would produce holes and devalue the wall paper. Wall paper is a great option for some people.
    I love an ecru paint color on the walls and the ceiling, since it is such a soothing relaxing color. Ecru is a neutral color that is very easy for decorating a home. I tried white paint on the walls decades ago it was too stark for my taste.
    I have a pressure cooker and I use it for cooking meats only, since this method infuses the seasonings into the meat and cooking is so much faster.
    I enjoyed your video. Have a great day!

    Hi Kevin, I used to do the mason jar thing too but now - after several days in the crock pot I transfer the broth to a stock pot and cook it down A LOT. After it cools I put it in small square ice cube trays made of silcone and freeze these. I store all the cubes in a gallon baggie and take out what I need. It's pretty concentrated so I use one cube and anywhere from 2 cups to 6 cups of water, depending on what I am using it for. I always cook rice in broth for the added benefits as opposed to water.

    Hi Kevin: My husband and I really like the one you like so far because the rich blue background looks very elegant against that pattern. Since you were leaning toward a whole room makeover we feel this would give you that new look you may want. The others are still carrying over too much green if the change is really what you and Mr Fox want. Hope this is helpful. Thank you for sharing this with us.
