I like the fact that you: * mix expensive purchases with thrift items *frequently switch things up / move "stuff" around * enjoy the simple to luxurious facets of life * never seem to blink an eye when it comes to tackling projects * get excited coming up with new ideas * enjoy life with your dog, husband, family and friends. 🎄 Merry Christmas 🎄
I love your decorating style, but I enjoy watching the most because you have the best technical ability on how to present a lovely viewing experience. You are so talented!
Willow is so sweet ! My husband and I love the period decor as we appreciate and love our forefathers before us and the traditions they instilled in our America ❤ God has blessed us !
The quality of your videos are unsurpassed.Linda, you have such a calming demeanor. Who else could make their bed and make it informative and fun! Love your choice of bedding, have a great rest of you week!
Lovely bedroom. I can relate to the bed pillows. When the husband asks why you need so many pillows on the bed, just stare directly into his eyes and say "because I am a princess". It also works when you insist there be no wrinkles in the fitted sheet. 🤣
Hehe, “read the directions” - love the rosemary plant and your wreath design looks so festive. The bedding in your room looks fantastic and the dress form is so cute, very festive. I so enjoyed your video while sipping coffee, thx, Linda! Xoxo ❤🎄🦌✨❄️🤗🎁
I love your calm manner and spirit. Your taste and style are exquisite! Your videos are always a bit of creative therapy for me! Thank you for sharing!❤
I burst out laughing when ben said I have to take off more pillows my husband tells every one he has to go to bed early just to take the pillows of the bed my answer to that was it’s a good work out
Donna here, my mom was German and the way they do the bed in the morning is fold down the covers and hang the pillows on the open window sill. Of course the covers and pillows were down filled. Around lunch time, they would go back and make the bed. They even did this in the winter when it didn't snow or rain. I don't do it now cuz I live in La., where bugs take over everything (hang the pillows out the window). Great memories from younger years!
I’m a caregiver and most of the men clients tell me “not to make the bed” they want it to air out” :-). Makes sense to me. My husband always says “is the bed closed”, lol. Looks really nice, I really like the buffalo check in that color. Thanks for sharing.
Love your bedroom! I agree about the greenery over your bed being a bit too much, sometimes less is best. Your dress form with the skirt of greenery is so cute and shows your playful side of decorating. You have so many nice thrifted items all through your home! I need to find a few vintage shops. I thrift some, mostly crystal glass ware, and handmade pottery items. My favorite piece of yours is the double bow back settee that you bought for your shop but decided you liked it too much to part with! I agree with you, just love it. Beautiful home, beautiful spirit. Love watching your videos.
I love your sense of humor.....come closer....."I read the directions"....I almost spit out my coffee ...lol! Great way to start the day. Your bedding looks great. I get so many ideas from watching your channel (big and small) Stay warm and thanks for sharing the links.
Love the rosemary in the champagne buckets. They would look great surrounded with the little cutie tangerines. I just love the contrast of the orange and dark green. The 3 wreaths over the window are so unique and gorgeous!!!! Yes, a beautifully made bed is a sanctuary at the end of the day! And I use to tell my spouse... it takes you less than 30 seconds to throw all the pillows on the floor. Deal with it! hahah And since he was gone in the morning and I made the bed, it was not an issue. I was happy you mentioned a new area rug... that is such a warm, cozy visual and feel in a room of that size. I still wonder, every time I see your beautiful bed... if the top finials are still too tall for this new space? Even if they are... you can get plain round ball finials in the curtain section at Lowes, that would make a perfect topper. And since the bottom has a ball it would blend perfectly.
Yes, YEs, YES!!! Thank you Linda. Your tips help me avoid mistakes of the past and make things a little easier to manage the next time around. Your videos offer an even wider and more detailed range of creative ideas. I am very grateful you take the time to share!!! 🌹🌹🌹
I just enjoy seeing Willow, she is such a good girl and so cute! As you just mentioned Willow wasn't feeling well a few months ago made me sad. When our pets aren't feeling well, it always makes me have anxiety. Glad she is doing good now, and looks healthy and happy. Such a sweet dog you have there...I always enjoy seeing your lovely home too. It brings me peace when my day is long and over worked. Beautiful home, I just love what you do with it! ❤
Hi Linda, years ago a plant-loving friend shared this with me. Water plants in terra cotta pots from the top. Terra cotta is porous, and will hold water. The plant will draw what moisture it needs from the pot over time. Always soak a plant in a plastic pot to water it. Water runs right through a plastic pot, so the plant does not have time to absorb it if you water from the top. Soaking allows the plant to take what it needs from the roots up.
Linda your bedroom is perfect! I like you air out our bedroom every morning while getting ready for the day, I feel it helps to clear my mind, lol. Blessings to you this beautiful morning,
I do hope this will be your forever home. Your skills at design are incredible, the house is just stunning with every season. And besides, my plan is to continue to watch every one of your videos now that I am retired. 😊
I've only just discovered you and it's been a pleasure. Thank you for inviting us into your lovely home. I only caught a glimpse of the downstairs, but what I did see, looked beautiful. I appreciate your sense of warmth & coziness, of the classic style. See you again... _Merry Christmas_
Bedroom so pretty But yes my husband didn't like taking off all the pillows, so I moved into my daughter's old room. Now I can have my pillows and a nice cool room, we are both good with that😊
I love watching your show! Everything is gorgeous, and welcoming! Love the history, the Victorian accents, using nature, and the homey ideas. God blesses us so much! I love reading scripture and listening to Christian instrumentals on my Alexa… it’s relaxing and helps with sleep. Merry Christmas! Enjoy every moment the Lord gives us.
You have created a cozy retreat for yourself that is functional as well as beautiful. No wonder you are sleeping so much better. Willow, too, enjoys the serene atmosphere, as well.
This was so lovely, and relaxing. I love the total look, and the individual parts, as well. Thank you for your tips, and sharing, Linda. simply beautiful ❤💚🎄☃️
Love how you are in the real world. 😂 always be you, that’s what I love about your channel. I take as along as it takes, to get the thing that looks fitting to the room,cause once I find something, I like to stay with it.
Good morning Linda! The bed looks cozy, warm and beautiful! Love the colors and textures. The writing desk looks really nice in front of the windows.! ❤
Merry Christmas Kindred Spirit🌲 I’ve not been able to watch your UTube channel in awhile sad to say but the transformation of your home is just lovely. Very simple, relaxing, cozy and very beautiful . I’d say your goals for your home have been met. I’m sure you will be changing as time goes by. We all do. But, I were you I’d sit back, breathe it all in and not change a single thing. Congratulations on a job well done. ❣️😍
The line I looked into has three weights for that! I almost went medium due to hot flashes, but went with the heavy (which is not that heavy). I'm not as hot with the new comforter vs when I had all of my layers of bedding.
Love seeing you post more often. It’s my little Christmas gift from you. The bed looks so cozy. I have a small version of your eagle mirror. The mirror looks cute with the added bow. Enjoy the day.
Very cozy! I got a down comforter a number of years ago and never went back! I do believe that you get better sleep, because it is lightweight, yet warm and cozy. I love all the windows in your bedroom. I look forward to seeing whether you choose to paint or wallpaper. 😊
Adore the rosemary mini trees in the champagne buckets! Thanks for the watering clues! 😙👌🏼 The swirled posts of your bed frame are lovely. Merry & bright in NC 🙋🏼♀️ “The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His face on you and give you peace.” ( Numbers 6:24-26)
I agree the linens need to breathe,I may not do it everyday but most times. ,didn’t know it was a thing also did not know reading instructions was either,🤣 the watering tip for Rosemary,i will definitely try. Thanks Linda 🎄🍃
I'm not an indoor plant guru either. I end up feeling bad about their demise. So glad you're sleeping better. I find that if the room temp and the amount of covers are just right I sleep like a dream. Love the new bedding. I would be happy to live with it this way for a long time. Very pretty and so spacious.
Hi Linda. Greetings from Edmonton Alberta Canada 👋😃 I love watching your videos and find them very informative and relaxing. Love your design and decor style. I have now added New England to my bucket list of places to visit! Willow looks like a twin sister to our dog Flynn. He is 3 and has the same temperament. I really noticed the similarity when watching the video you posted of your holiday at the ocean and she was running and playing, like a crazy dog, in the water and mud! I showed my husband and he said that's exactly like Flynn. Great companions and so sweet. Looking forward to see what else you decide to do with your lovely property. Have a blessed Christmas! ❤
What a gorgeous bedroom! It is SO cozy looking, perfect for these cold winter nights. Thank you for showing us what you're doing now. Blessings to you and your family!
The wonderful thing about checks, whether they be large or small is that you can add so many different print fabrics to go with them. Have you ever considered adding a William Morris fabric to your bedroom collection? There are so many beautiful designs to choose from. Decorating is so much fun! Love all the videos!
Wow, we are so in sync! When you posted your video about sort of cleaning out/organizing your pantry for the holidays, I had just done that. And my Christmas prezzie to myself was a goose down mattress topper, comforter, and pillows. It had been awhile since I'd gotten new bedding -- I feel like sleeping well is a necessity for good health, not just an indulgence. And I always let my bed "breathe" when I get up, because, yeah, you sweat, and you want to let your bedding dry.
WHAT?! The nerve! Read the directions?! That’s outrageous! That’s bodacious! Er….maybe next time I’ll try that!😆 Many thanks Linda, we are very blessed to have you in our lives. Thoroughly enjoy your videos, love you and our girl Willow!❣️Happy holidays! Much affection from the city of Detroit!🎄
Good morning Linda! Thank you for sharing your beautiful bedroom! The bedding is an elegant understated style, very warm, cozy and comfortable looking! I love the white painted rough hewn timber framework and the dress form decorated for Christmas would be so pretty with the twinkle lights, too! Loved seeing sweet Willow today! 🎄💕
I will thank you again and again for sharing those battery candles with the kindred spirits. They have graced our windows at Christmas time for three years. As soon as that video was over, my order was placed. The remote is a treasure. Our old candles had plugs, extension cords, a mess. This is easy. Love the buffalo check, one of my fav patterns. You are so funny. I will read the directions from now on! Fewer than two weeks to go! Working on menus this week. I like to change it up each year. Blessings, Linda.
😂 Men just don't "get" pillows. Your bedroom is so lovely! Its especially pretty with your new down blanket- it adds a lofty softer look to the bed which either consciously and/or unconsciously makes you feel more cozy in the space.❤ Also, your rosemary trick was great!😂 but your beans trick was even more brilliant. ❤ And I was inspired to obtain a copy of your gorgeous "A Christmas Carol" book - stunning sepia illustrations make me SWOON. Thank you for such helpful tips today -you are so inspirational! ❤
I stopped the video at 1:50 to put my large rosemary tree into the sink with water! I had been top watering it too and it was getting dry. I want to eventually plant it outside, so thank you! I love the buffalo check in the bedroom!
I’m in love with your home and decorating style. I also saw the mannequin right away and thought it was so pretty and unique, my eyes were constantly drawn to it. Shots of Willow are just pure joy. There’s nothing like a dog in the home to add comfort in my opinion. ❤
Oh! your so funny. Thanks! for your secret kindred spirit. Love the rosemary in your silver urn pots. Going to copy that one. Merry Christmas sweet Willow! I so love how you think. Nice bedroom.
Linda, I enjoy each and every one of your videos. I know this seems like an odd request, but would you please share the dimensions of your master bedroom? It would be a tremendous help for me.
Thank you for the tips on creating such a cozy bed. I appreciate how you mixed Amazon, TJ Maxx and high-end finds. The one thing I did miss is a Christmas tree. I believe you had one in your bedroom in the past.
I had to laugh at Ben's eye rolling at all the pillows. I got the same reaction from my husband 😂. I just got a down comforter and I have also slept much better, don't know why, but it's magical.
Good morning Linda, your bedroom looks lovely and cosy. The colours are beautiful. I didn't realize that airing your bed out in the mornings was a trend. We have always done that. I usually go for my shower, have breakfast and then go back to make the bed. Thank you for sharing. Jeanette, New Zealand
The Annie Selke Company is such very good quality. Tried to purchase the comforter, but now on backorder. Will receive the notice and will go through you, Linda, when it is available. I go up from CT to its outlet store in Pittsfield, MA every one to two years. Usually come home with a few really good bargains.
Beautiful! I've used IKEA down comforters for years (they come in various warmth options) and love them. Just mentioning that for a less expensive comforter option. 😊 Also, I bought the window candles last year based on your recommendation and LOVE them.
Good morning Linda, happy to see Willow is feeling much better, she is adorable. Love the new bedding, the ruffle blanket adds a little glam, without all the fuss. 🎁🎄🕊️
Truly amazing. Simply love how you decorate your home. Your videos are so calming to watch, and my husband and I always look forward to watching your next video. Thank you. Jill and Gary Jill and Gary
Super duper cozy!!!!! Love your home. The mannequin needs a name. So chic! What is it with men and bed pillows??!! 😂😂 same eye roll over her in Maine, too.
Beautiful kitchen window decoration Linda, love that red velvet very Dickensian the Christmas Carol book looks lovely, my favourite ‘Christmas Carol’ film, as there are many is the one with George C Scott as Scrooge so festive! Your bedroom decor is gorgeous, I love the colours you have dressed the bed in & I thought the manikin was a clever idea.. nice to see dear Willows face, she is just a sweetie.. 🎄☃️
Linda, I was actually laughing out loud when you said “I read the directions “ regarding the rosemary…..I was expecting some really fancy secret on keeping plants alive, and it was a simple as reading the tag! I was watching your video this morning during another glorious Monadnock sunrise….I’m really enjoying these videos as Christmas is fast approaching!🎄
I love it. I laughed so hard when you said I read the directions. I adore your dress form lady tree, I made one last year I had the same problem with it shrinking, I just put her up on a small side table to get her to the height I wanted. I will be using it again in this week's dining room. Great idea using sheets to cover the comforter.
I too usually resist reading directions until a last resort. I hate to admit it but dang, if it doesn't often make getting stuff done easier if I force myself to take the time to read them! LOL! Your mantle is exquisite. The soft color of the greenery is dreamy and the pineapple and candles are perfectly New England. I'm loving the bonus Christmas episodes. You're keeping me inspired with my own Christmas decorating.
Your UA-cam channel is my absolute favorite. Thank you for all the great ideas and inspiration! Providing sources for items is so helpful. I also have been on the hunt for certain items for a long time. Finding things locally seems to have gotten more difficult in recent years.
Your bedroom looks fantastic Linda. Love the check!! Your house looks so beautiful! I absolutely love watching and looking. I hope this is your forever home! it's perfect! It's close enough to scoot down to your favorite places in Massachusetts, yet so private and tranquil with acres to roam. I have looked in the Monadnock region since you bought Sugar Wood. So beautiful. jannie
I Love You, Linda ! You are so, me. I do believe in kindred spirits ! I only read the directions, after all else fails. I always laugh when you share these little secrets, like me too!
Hi! I just found your channel and have been binging! I am a native Long Islander, but have lived in Virginia for close to 30 years. I am in love with your style!
I like the fact that you:
* mix expensive purchases with thrift items
*frequently switch things up / move "stuff" around
* enjoy the simple to luxurious facets of life
* never seem to blink an eye when it comes to tackling projects
* get excited coming up with new ideas
* enjoy life with your dog, husband, family and friends.
🎄 Merry Christmas 🎄
Thank you for your kind words!
I agree!!
Your entire home is just so cozy. I would never want to leave home especially in the winter months. And oh my goodness that bed looks dreamy. ❤
Thank you so much!
I love your decorating style, but I enjoy watching the most because you have the best technical ability on how to present a lovely viewing experience. You are so talented!
Thank you Carol! That means a lot
carol you are correct i also love her style of decorating ...
Willow is so sweet ! My husband and I love the period decor as we appreciate and love our forefathers before us and the traditions they instilled in our America ❤ God has blessed us !
Thank you!
The quality of your videos are unsurpassed.Linda, you have such a calming demeanor. Who else could make their bed and make it informative and fun! Love your choice of bedding, have a great rest of you week!
Thank you for letting me know Cathy! I always wonder if it will be boring to watch.
Lovely bedroom. I can relate to the bed pillows. When the husband asks why you need so many pillows on the bed, just stare directly into his eyes and say "because I am a princess". It also works when you insist there be no wrinkles in the fitted sheet. 🤣
Hehe, “read the directions” - love the rosemary plant and your wreath design looks so festive. The bedding in your room looks fantastic and the dress form is so cute, very festive. I so enjoyed your video while sipping coffee, thx, Linda! Xoxo ❤🎄🦌✨❄️🤗🎁
Hehehe!
I love your calm manner and spirit. Your taste and style are exquisite! Your videos are always a bit of creative therapy for me! Thank you for sharing!❤
Thank you for watching Debra!
I burst out laughing when ben said I have to take off more pillows my husband tells every one he has to go to bed early just to take the pillows of the bed my answer to that was it’s a good work out
Yes!!!... I was always taught to let the bed air out before making it...thank goodness someone spoke it...❤
Happened to get ready for work early today and had time to watch this morning~what a treat! The multiple videos lately has been a treat as well!❤
I'm glad you could sneak it in!
Donna here, my mom was German and the way they do the bed in the morning is fold down the covers and hang the pillows on the open window sill. Of course the covers and pillows were down filled. Around lunch time, they would go back and make the bed. They even did this in the winter when it didn't snow or rain. I don't do it now cuz I live in La., where bugs take over everything (hang the pillows out the window). Great memories from younger years!
I relate. I grew up in germany. A wonderful memory. Thank you.
I’m German and still do this. The bedding smells so fresh and feels cozy.
I never heard of hanging the pillows out the window! I wonder if my grandmother or great grandmother did that.
I’m a caregiver and most of the men clients tell me “not to make the bed” they want it to air out” :-). Makes sense to me. My husband always says “is the bed closed”, lol. Looks really nice, I really like the buffalo check in that color. Thanks for sharing.
Love the gorgeous vases you put the rosemary in and beans, how clever! Love sweet Willow.
Thanks so much 😊
Dear Linda ; Finally the secret ! I just threw away another Rosemary plant , thank you 😊
Love your bedroom! I agree about the greenery over your bed being a bit too much, sometimes less is best. Your dress form with the skirt of greenery is so cute and shows your playful side of decorating.
You have so many nice thrifted items all through your home! I need to find a few vintage shops. I thrift some, mostly crystal glass ware, and handmade pottery items. My favorite piece of yours is the double bow back settee that you bought for your shop but decided you liked it too much to part with! I agree with you, just love it.
Beautiful home, beautiful spirit. Love watching your videos.
I love the garland around the mannequin. Such a cleaver skirt! Beautiful.
Thank you so much!
When you find what you have been looking for it’s the best feeling. Your house is lovely I plan on doing your ideals for next Christmas .
I love your sense of humor.....come closer....."I read the directions"....I almost spit out my coffee ...lol! Great way to start the day. Your bedding looks great. I get so many ideas from watching your channel (big and small) Stay warm and thanks for sharing the links.

Wonderful! I am always afraid of my love of saving old homes and I would be telling a lie if I said Ben and I don't still look at online listings. LOL
Love that you shared the "secret"... the rosemary looks lovely and fragrant. ❤
Thank you! 😊
I love all things Linda Smith Davis. Your taste is impeccable. Your urns with the pineapples are magnificent!! Thank you for doing this channel.
Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!
My husband does not like pillows . Your home is gorgeous , a breath of fresh air !
Your bed really does look so cozy. Inspires me to add more pillows and texture to my own. Your entire bedroom is very serene. Thanks for sharing
I love your cozy New England bedding for the winter months 🤍🤎
This was so lovely, and relaxing. I love the total look, and the individual parts, as well. Thank you for your tips, and sharing, Linda. simply beautiful ❤💚🎄☃️

Good morning! Your bedroom, your entire home, just wow! I love goosedown but alas, I cannot use it on our bed because my husband is so hot natured.
The line I looked into has three weights for that! I almost went medium due to hot flashes, but went with the heavy (which is not that heavy). I'm not as hot with the new comforter vs when I had all of my layers of bedding.
Linda the bedroom is gorgeous! I could watch your videos everyday for hrs!
Love seeing you post more often. It’s my little Christmas gift from you. The bed looks so cozy. I have a small version of your eagle mirror. The mirror looks cute with the added bow. Enjoy the day.
Thank you for watching!
Very cozy! I got a down comforter a number of years ago and never went back! I do believe that you get better sleep, because it is lightweight, yet warm and cozy. I love all the windows in your bedroom. I look forward to seeing whether you choose to paint or wallpaper. 😊
I hope to start working on the bedroom again soon, for the new year.
Adore the rosemary mini trees in the champagne buckets! Thanks for the watering clues! 😙👌🏼
The swirled posts of your bed frame are lovely.

Thank you LInda!
I remember my grandmother who used to put her pillows in the windows too air out to, wondered why, finally it made so much sense🤗
Good morning Linda! Thank you for sharing your beautiful bedroom! The bedding is an elegant understated style, very warm, cozy and comfortable looking! I love the white painted rough hewn timber framework and the dress form decorated for Christmas would be so pretty with the twinkle lights, too! Loved seeing sweet Willow today! 🎄💕

Nothing beats a down comforter!

I stopped the video at 1:50 to put my large rosemary tree into the sink with water! I had been top watering it too and it was getting dry. I want to eventually plant it outside, so thank you! I love the buffalo check in the bedroom!
You're welcome!
I’m in love with your home and decorating style. I also saw the mannequin right away and thought it was so pretty and unique, my eyes were constantly drawn to it. Shots of Willow are just pure joy. There’s nothing like a dog in the home to add comfort in my opinion. ❤
🐈🐈⬛🐈 And cats!! ☺️
Oh! your so funny. Thanks! for your secret kindred spirit. Love the rosemary in your silver urn pots. Going to copy that one. Merry Christmas sweet Willow! I so love how you think. Nice bedroom.
You are so welcome!
Linda, I enjoy each and every one of your videos. I know this seems like an odd request, but would you please share the dimensions of your master bedroom? It would be a tremendous help for me.
Thank you for the tips on creating such a cozy bed. I appreciate how you mixed Amazon, TJ Maxx and high-end finds. The one thing I did miss is a Christmas tree. I believe you had one in your bedroom in the past.
I ended up selling a couple of the large fake trees. I will be doing more smaller trees around the house.
I had to laugh at Ben's eye rolling at all the pillows. I got the same reaction from my husband 😂. I just got a down comforter and I have also slept much better, don't know why, but it's magical.
I love that!
Good morning Linda, your bedroom looks lovely and cosy. The colours are beautiful. I didn't realize that airing your bed out in the mornings was a trend. We have always done that. I usually go for my shower, have breakfast and then go back to make the bed. Thank you for sharing. Jeanette, New Zealand
I know a lot of Europeans have been airing out their beds (and their rooms) for hundreds of years…
The Annie Selke Company is such very good quality. Tried to purchase the comforter, but now on backorder. Will receive the notice and will go through you, Linda, when it is available. I go up from CT to its outlet store in Pittsfield, MA every one to two years. Usually come home with a few really good bargains.
Wonderful and thank you Patricia!
What a cute ideal, Pinnaple with apples around them!!!! I will use that!!!
The bedding and your whole room are fantastic!
Beautiful! I've used IKEA down comforters for years (they come in various warmth options) and love them. Just mentioning that for a less expensive comforter option. 😊 Also, I bought the window candles last year based on your recommendation and LOVE them.
Good morning Linda, happy to see Willow is feeling much better, she is adorable.
Love the new bedding, the ruffle blanket adds a little glam, without all the fuss.

Truly amazing. Simply love how you decorate your home. Your videos are so calming to watch, and my husband and I always look forward to watching your next video.
Thank you.

The bedroom has really come together. So light and bright. Looks like a high-end hotel bedroom. Now I need to dress my bedroom for the Holidays!
It is so nice to see someone who is as fussy about bedroom color and texture as I am! Your room looks cozy and beautiful!
Super duper cozy!!!!! Love your home. The mannequin needs a name. So chic! What is it with men and bed pillows??!! 😂😂 same eye roll over her in Maine, too.
I’m open to suggestions!
I'm glad I'm not the only one that misplaces things in my home!
Nice velvet ribbon great color. Love what u discover the sink

@@newenglandfineliving meant to write love what you did over the sink~ my phone types whatever it wants🤷♀️
Beautifully casual and still looks very elegant! Love your new bedding!
Thank you Elizabeth!
Linda it is all super cozy and so comfortable and elegant at the same time ❤
Beautiful kitchen window decoration Linda, love that red velvet very Dickensian the Christmas Carol book looks lovely, my favourite
‘Christmas Carol’ film, as there are many is the one with George C Scott as Scrooge so festive! Your bedroom decor is gorgeous, I love the colours you have dressed the bed in & I thought the manikin was a clever idea.. nice to see dear Willows face, she is just a sweetie.. 🎄☃️
Your home is so warm and cozy, I love your thrifted decor, I love treasure hunting too 😊
Linda you are funny regarding the rosemary🌝 love your videos ,love your home ! One of the best 👍❤
Linda, I was actually laughing out loud when you said “I read the directions “ regarding the rosemary…..I was expecting some really fancy secret on keeping plants alive, and it was a simple as reading the tag! I was watching your video this morning during another glorious Monadnock sunrise….I’m really enjoying these videos as Christmas is fast approaching!🎄
I love it. I laughed so hard when you said I read the directions. I adore your dress form lady tree, I made one last year I had the same problem with it shrinking, I just put her up on a small side table to get her to the height I wanted. I will be using it again in this week's dining room. Great idea using sheets to cover the comforter.
That is hilarious! My husband ALWAYS reads the entire directions. Me, not so much, but, I will from now on :)
I just had to read directs on changing a fuse on Christmas lights. I don't know what has gotten into me LOL
I too usually resist reading directions until a last resort. I hate to admit it but dang, if it doesn't often make getting stuff done easier if I force myself to take the time to read them! LOL! Your mantle is exquisite. The soft color of the greenery is dreamy and the pineapple and candles are perfectly New England. I'm loving the bonus Christmas episodes. You're keeping me inspired with my own Christmas decorating.
Hello Linda and Willow! Love the bedroom. I've been looking for ways to make my bedroom more inviting and cozy. I'm going to use some of your tips!❤
Have fun!
Your home is beautiful, Linda! Thank you for sharing! ❤
Thank you so much!
Love the look on the bed. You are right, it does look super cozy. You always share such wonderful ideas and I cannot wait to see the next ones.
Thanks so much! 😊
Your UA-cam channel is my absolute favorite. Thank you for all the great ideas and inspiration! Providing sources for items is so helpful. I also have been on the hunt for certain items for a long time. Finding things locally seems to have gotten more difficult in recent years.
You are so welcome and I agree about the difficulty finding local
Your bedroom looks fantastic Linda. Love the check!! Your house looks so beautiful! I absolutely love watching and looking. I hope this is your forever home! it's perfect! It's close enough to scoot down to your favorite places in Massachusetts, yet so private and tranquil with acres to roam. I have looked in the Monadnock region since you bought Sugar Wood. So beautiful. jannie
Thank you so much!
I totally love this video, Linda. You have a creative and generous heart to share your life with us. Thank you. Merry Christmas ❤
Thank you! You too!
I love visiting the Pine Cone Hill outlet in Pittsfield when I visit my son in the Berkshires.
I Love You, Linda ! You are so, me. I do believe in kindred spirits ! I only read the directions, after all else fails. I always laugh when you share these little secrets, like me too!
Good to know I'm not alone in the reading of directions after they are needed
Love the colors and texturing going on. It looks beautiful.
Hi! I just found your channel and have been binging! I am a native Long Islander, but have lived in Virginia for close to 30 years. I am in love with your style!
So beautiful. I love the bedding and decor. God bless Linda
