    I am 68 years old. I have never followed what the style gurus decide is all the rage. My children slept in bedroom furniture from our grandparents homes. They had a designated place for toys. The one time I caved and let my daughter have pink walls in her bedroom, we repainted to off-white in a few years time because she outgrew it. Your home is wonderful. You are blessed to have such wonderful family heirlooms. Your show is special because you make a glorious home with a budget in mind. If I were you, the minute I felt negative vibes in a comment, I would stop reading and delete it. Bless you and keep you and your precious family.

    Your nursery is timeless and classic. Some people prefer trendy and kitschy. The old-fashioned decor in your century farmhouse is appropriate and a daily reminder to live simply.

    Mom always said, "If you can't say anything nice (helpful) don't say anything at all". We all need to practice this more often. I think the room turned out cute and so comfortable for children. Thank you so much for what you share.

    I think your daughter's room is absolutely charming and timeless. Some people think, that unless there is lots of pink, Barbie's and insane amount of plastic toys it's not children's room.

    Kristen, I honestly can’t imagine why people feel the need to criticize your home design. I LOVE your home and all of your decor touches ❤❤❤❤. I never want you to feel bad from their comments. This is your home and I personally would love your home. I am a 73 year old grandma that started out living my first 13 years in Illinois and the family moved to an area in Florida where the homes are mostly stucco and look the same. Your home is my dream home and thank you for allowing God to guide your life and sharing with me. God Bless you always❤❤❤

For the record your home decor is awesome. I love coming home after church on Sunday to see what your doing.Happy decorating.

      YOUR HOME is your haven for you and your family. There are always going to be people who don’t understand why we do what we do in our homes but, their approval isn’t what is essential. Your home is lovely and this 67 year old grandmother loves your style. Thank you for continuing to share your God given creative talents with us all! HUGS

    Kristen it is your home and don’t worry about what others think. Your home is for you to love and enjoy. I love green and pink I think it looks so dainty. You should be proud of the room. I am a retired designer and I am sure people would say she is a designer. I don’t follow the rules I do what I love and feel comfortable with. Your home looks lovely.

    I have to comment again. Good for you for telling people “where to get off” !!!!!! Your style expresses a level of maturity and individuality that is lost on most people in our age of plastic toys that talk and flash lights, a world of no books, no art, no loving parents. Keep up the great life that you are living with your family! 💕 And, be proud!

  • @alethaalexander7858

    Wow! I haven't commented in awhile but couldn't let this slip by. Listen Kristen, you are one the most beautiful, honest, transparent, light-hearted, spirited, funny of all! You absolutely owe NO one an explanation for how you choose to decorate your home! This is why so many people feel the need to be something they are not, and they live unhappy because they are afraid to be authentic. Stay true to yourself and to your decorating style. It is fresh, pure, natural, & it is you! God is pleased!

      A tip to stop tulips drooping is to pierce a hole straight through the stalk just under the head with a needle or pin.

    I'll be honest, one of the reasons I like your channel so much is that your style is unique. No surprise your choice for your kids' room is not conventional. You just keep doing you, and demonstrate to your girls how lovely a home can be.

Negative commenters...show some human compassion. PLEASE!!! Do you enjoy hurting people's feelings?? Think about how you would feel if someone said those things about your house. Really doubt your house is perfect.

    In today's world we need more of your content. We all like different color combinations, different styles and who are we to criticize the hard work of a mother trying to make her and her family's home inviting, relaxing and happy along with taking items that others have tossed aside and give them new life. You are an inspiring, caring young woman that gives the word, Grace a new meaning. You could have easily been upset, but instead have forgiven those who share negativity instead of support!! The room is absolutely beautiful, well done!!!

      @gloriastola1522 29 днів тому +2

      Kristen, there is absolutely no reason you have to explain why you chose the color and decor for your baby’s and little girl’s room. Your home is absolutely beautiful and I emphasize “your” home because you are the one who decides how to decorate. You must do what works for you and your family. You are so real and have a such a gift in decorating and I love your channel and your sweet spirit. Just keep being true to the Lord and to yourself and don’t let the comments bring you down. God bless you and as always, thank you for always sharing some scripture and a devotional reading on your channel.

    My Mom always said (to her family of five daughters!), "If you don't have something nice to say, say nothing at all."
    Let some of the naysayers live in a 100 year old house, and they might better understand how and why you live like you do (and I do). They might have handed you lemons, but God helped you to make lemonade with the lessons learned and the beautiful story of the "toile fabric". How amazing and faithful HE is with that blessing!
    Your home is beautiful, as is your family and your sweet Christian testimony. Keep up the good work!!

    Love that you have chosen to preserve pieces of furniture from your family. This translate to your children the love and legacy they are a part of. What a sweet blessing.🌷💕

    This is Grandma from Texas. Everything is so lovely. Thank you for sharing. I have NEVER styled my home by what is trending etc. I’m 71 years old and have seen trends come and go. When my first granddaughter was born I bought a crystal chandelier for her room instead of typical baby girl nursery lighting. One of the sweet memories I have of her is standing under the shining glimmering lights dancing through prisms of color. Back then no one was putting chandeliers in nurseries. Now it is common place,, 😘Your sense of style is unique and very very lovely just as you yourself are. Im not worried about you. You will be fine and stronger. God bless you and your precious family. ✝️🇺🇸❤️

    Kristen, this is my first time I have watched you. I love your sincere and beautiful personality, your home is a reflection of you. I can just imagine your children coming home from school and having an after school snack in your cozy kitchen. Your girls’ bedroom is so special with well thought out heirloom pieces, reminiscent of another time. I have been an early childhood educator/admin for many years, I would have loved all the children I have known to come from a family such as yours. For perspective, right now I know a child that has no bedroom and is sleeping on her living room couch. It’s the love in the home that matters the most and the wellbeing of the family. You are so blessed! Thank you for the wonderful video! I’m glad I found you!❤️

I was raised that if you couldn’t say anything nice you DON’T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL. Who cares what anyone else thinks. You have an eye and talent for decor. I love your motivating messages. Thank you for sharing. We are blessed to follow you

    @fiercelove3361 Місяць тому +12

    Kristin, I don’t normally comment on any videos, but I was doing the dishes and watching this and I just want to tell you that I’m SO proud of you!! In my 20s and 30s I really cared more than I should have about others opinions. I’m currently 47 and it was really after I turned 40 that I stopped caring as much and I’m so happy that you didn’t give your peace and joy away and you are standing firm for what’s best for you and your family!! Just because someone else wouldn’t decorate that way doesn’t mean it’s wrong. It would be so boring if we all had pottery barn homes. I love your style!! It’s different than mine, but I love and appreciate other styles that are beautiful and aesthetic!! Yours is both and I’m always excited to see how you pull it all together. I love it!! Blessings!!

Anyway, I love the nursery! It's personalized to the needs of YOUR family. Your home is beautiful! Here you are 6-7 months pregnant while taking care of your family & home while putting up with UA-cam naysayers. While trying to please all, you please none.....so TRUE! Thank you for this video! I absolutely adore the horse prints in the bedroom!!! You should be proud of your hard work! Thank you for sharing with us!!!

    Hi Kristen, it really upset me that people criticised the beautiful bedroom makeover you carried out. It is your home and you do whatever you want to your home. When I was a child I shared a bedroom with four of my brothers and sisters. There were only beds and chests of drawers in the room. It was a room for sleeping in and we all slept well after our wonderful mother said a prayer with us and kissed us goodnight. I have six older brothers and sisters too and they all had their own bedrooms and there was only a bed and a chest of drawers or a wardrobe in their bedrooms. We played outside or in the loungeroom - never ever in a bedroom. I absolutely love your videos. You give me so much inspiration and joy. Keep up the great work of giving your family all your love and kindness.

Of all the decorating videos I watch, yours is the most original and real. Anyone can copycat someone else's style but you do what makes you happy. I always say that if you can wake up everyday and smile then you're doing ok. Any other opinion is not needed. Your girls have a fine example of a great momma. Keep living for the Lord.

    Kristine: Your house is one of the most beautiful, coherent and peaceful home I’ve ever seen. The room is exceptionally beautiful and so special. Don’t worry much about criticism. This is your home, , your husband and your beautiful daughters are the ones that live there. I’m a 60 year old mother of 4 daughters, 5 grandsons and 2 granddaughters and you have inspired me so much with your decor. I just purchased an antique secretarial desk that it’s amazingly beautiful. It’s my first time purchasing anything antique. I’m so excited about this new decor I’m thriving for. Actually my cousin and I are going antique and thrifting shopping in the coming weeks . You are an inspiration and may G-d bless your lives and your beautiful home.

People are so rude! I love your decor, thriftiness, the way you style, and your silliness. Just be you!

    We did not have TV in our rooms but tons of books, piano, arts and lots of laughs!

    As a small channel, I was lucky to not receive too much negativity on my daughter’s room tour I did several years ago. It’s dark green with curated collected vintage and antiques. I appreciate a room a child can grow into regardless of the color. There is a place for everything and she’s just fine not having pink walls (she chose green and to go dark with her room as a child so I made it happen). Who cares what the naysayers say! Your home is for you and your family! ❤

My favorite part of this tour... is that amazing bowl of red apples on the kitchen table with the large platter underneath. Simple perfection. Speaks of home.

    Hi Kristen. The Spring Home Tour looks great and so does Ivys room/nursery. I'm sorry you received negative comments. It's sad people are ridiculous and petty for no reason. People don't realize there are kids in this country dealing with neglect, abuse, food insecurities, domestic violence, parents are incarcerated and parents with substance abuse. I wish people would think before they type. Be blessed, you are a good mom and I like your channel. Don't let negative people get under your skin and maintain your joy.

    Kristen, Your home is so beautiful! There are so many people that can be negative in this world and I feel sorry for them. They are missing the joy of being happy and grateful for what God has given to all of us. Having a nice home takes work and effort. Not a lot of money. My husband and 2 boys came from nothing and I went to a ton of garage sales and even picked up things that were free on the side of the road for our home. Now as we are older we are so blessed to have what we have. Keep being you, I love your channel and your positiveness , You are a sweet and caring person. Ignore the negativity, God gave us one life to live, so live it how you want!!

    I don’t comment usually on anything I watch on You Tube, but I must say that I find your baby’s/little girl’s room absolutely cozy, lovely and unique. I would feel very loved in that room at any age. It feels like generations of family have generously added to the charm and safety and comfort there.
    Also I love the way you stood up for being yourself! I am inspired by you.

    It's so nice to see a home filled with personality from things you love. Most houses on decorating/thrifting videos have the same look, full of shades of tan and white, white dishes, pale paint and rugs, and those overdone wall signs about love and family. Your house has something unique and interesting everywhere you look. You can tell your things were chosen because you love them, not because they're trendy and like everyone else's decor. They say when you walk into a home, it should tell something about its owners. Your house says you love things because of their beauty and meaning, NOT that you're unimaginative. Please keep it up!!

You can be very proud, not only of the home you have created for you family, but more so of how you are both bringing up such loving, beautiful children, in a godly way. They are the future generation, what an impact they will have in the world because of how you have brought them up. With love from Cape Town, South Africa, God bless you all

    Kristen, there is a peace and a calm in your home that trumps what any trend might be. You can't buy that, it comes from the love and faith that those walls house. I love the old fashioned comfort it exudes. We need more of that in this nutty world we exist in. That perfect imperfection is a beautiful thing to raise a family in!

You have found your style , used what you had or inherited or thrifted on a budget. Your girls are so cute and funny and happy and you are bringing them up in an environment that introduces them to Jesus . How awesome is that! Baby girl number four just adds another blessings!

I believe the majority of your subscribers love you for the sweet, kind and beautiful person you are. The baby’s room is beautiful. Everything doesn’t have to be pink and frilly. You did an amazing job on this room. Love your entire home. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Your home and style is amazing. Have a blessed week.

    You shouldn't be bothered by those negative comments because i can guarantee your style is your family's unique style. It doesn't have to please or follow the likes and wants of others to see in your home... because your home is different from theirs. You have a wonderful style in every different corner of your home. From the last video i just put thumbs up because it's pretty and I still thought it was wonderful and very calming to be a children's room. It's also good that you accept such a comment with a laugh and smile. You've done good, much better it's great for the happiness of your family.

I think that's one of the things that makes your channel special; you don't just have beauty for us to enjoy and be inspired by but you share a perspective on life that shows you care more about the things that are truly important.

I want to give you a big hug and say I am so incredibly impressed at how someone like you at such a young age can handle the ugliness that’s out there. When we hate on each other and we criticize, it’s exactly what Satan wants. I wish we could all just do what our Father wants us to do and love on each other and lift each other up. That aside, I absolutely love the nursery. I haven’t even watched the whole video but needed to tell you this. ❤

Thank you for being who HE made you to be. ~Praying for you & your precious crew!

You put your heart and soul into that room ( and in every room of your beautiful home). Don't be discouraged by negative comments, or try not to anyway. Its hard not to be affected, but your heart's desire is to make a home for your family which honors God in every way! Hooray! Keep spreading the cheer and the good news.

So many homes these days all have the same "feel" because they are all shopping and buying what someone is deciding, the current fashion is. Keep collecting what you love...if you decorate with things that have meaning to you, and the things you love, it will never go out of style. ♥️

    When we finally realize that God is the one that gives us our needs, then we can rest in his presence and enjoy the peace and joy he gives us. Not worried about what this world has to say or what it’s doing. Living our best life despite of this world because we follow Christ . Much love to you and your family❤.
