Thank you for stepping out of your comfort zone and posting the house tour. Sometimes it takes a person several tries to find their style and I think you've found yours.
In our old house, after I came upon the color for our living room of Sherwin William's "Gray Goose", I stuck with it for years.I loved how the color changed in different lighting.
We built our house 35 years ago…….. I never stopped to really think of all the changes, upgrades, and additions we did through the years both inside and out.
How lucky you are to live in such an incredibly beautiful, light, roomy, airy home. A true labor of love. Your current design scheme is stunning. If I owned a home, I would emulate your style.
Thank you, Mary, for allowing us to see the before and after pictures of your home. I am with you in gravitating toward white walls. It is so peaceful.
It's PERFECT, THE B4 & AFTER, I have actually learned from YOU, the difference between colored, versus your white, the white stands out SO MUCH BETTER,. thank you for teaching me new methods for changing to a much simple & warmer home
It's all beautiful...I recently thought about changing my decor from the dark primitive colors to more of a white color, similar to yours, but most of my hutches, cabinets are in dark colors, and the thought of repainting them all white...I'm exhausted at the thought.
Mary your home is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. It was so awesome seeing all the changes throughout the years and honestly, it looked so comfortable and stylish for each and every era. I love the kitchen beams, the faux shiplap line in bedroom everything just beautiful. And who wouldn't want all of that gorgeous property. The beautiful country living, the peaceful pond and the nature around you. WOW!! I call you blessed Mary. Thanks for taking us along. A beautiful home. 🤗
Loved the tour! Thanks! I want to share, our home is over 100 years old and when we bought it 40 years ago, the small footed tub in our bathroom confused me a little. I am so glad we had it sandblasted and refinished. Our bath is white smoke on the walls, cherry woodwork and vanity, wood plank look floor with white footed tub. I am almost 70 now and my footed tub is my comfort and joy each evening! I highly recommend a footed tub! The only drawback is cleaning the floor under the tub. I have found easier ways to clean through the years and won't give up my tub until I can no longer get in and out of it! We have our perfect retirement home....5 rooms with 17 windows. We had purchased this house to flip...but when the coal mines closed we were just finishing our project. This house found a place in our hearts and we love it and our neighbors too much to ever move. I found your site during the long days of covid....and I still look forward to each new video!
I had to smile when you pointed out the laundry on the stairs, waiting to be carried up. I grew up in a two-story house with all four bedrooms upstairs and the laundry on the first floor. There was always a stack of something on the stairs and when one of us four kids started up the steps, my mother's voice came from some unseen place, "Don't go up those stairs empty-handed!". Decades later my youngest brother, a roofing foreman, would call to his workers "Don't go up that ladder empty-handed!" and smile, remembering our training.
I love both the primitive country look and the farmhouse look. Both are cozy and welcoming. I have found as I get older that light and bright in my rooms is what I prefer.
I like the way your home looks now, inside and outside. It is so bright and peaceful, and outside it is so lush,and green! You have a beautiful place there.
Mary, Mary thank you !for the wonderful home tour. The home was beautiful when your parents had it. The home was beautiful when you and John took over. The home is absolutely beautiful today. You and your family are changing with the times. Thanks for sharing with us. An inspiration!
I think you've morphed your look to your home until it's perfect! I love the clean, crisp look of the white with subtle touches of wood tone and green. Love watching your channel!
They say the white kitchen is outdated, but your beautiful kitchen is stunning!!! So stunning that my plans to continue with a white kitchen are going forward!!! You are an inspiration! Thank you!!!
My mother had that same couch that your mom had.😊 Funny how much we change over the years and like you I have moved away from most colors and I love white, light and bright.
Yes. I enjoyed this video. I even caught myself smiling when I remember some of the changes over the years. I can't believe how long it's been that I have looked forward to Wednesday mornings at 9am!
Love seeing the pictures of before. I am 73 so I remember some of the look your Mon and Dad had 🙂 You have done a beautiful job updating. The outside is just gorgeous. Can you fish in the pond, it is so pretty. Thank you..
Thanks for sharing your before and after pics of your home! You have worked very hard at the transformation to what it looks like today. The old barn beams in the kitchen tell a story and add lots of character to your kitchen.
Mary I think change is good in a home and yours is very pretty. I enjoyed the video. Keep doing what you do. Home is a reflection of what one feels comfort,love and happiness.
Hello from România ! You have a beautiful home! If you put the Curtains closer to the ceiling the room will look better and the windows larger. God bless you!
What a gorgeous transformation inside and out, you did a terrific job ❣️👏👏👏 Grays and whites are light, bright and timeless and compliment every wood color.
Your family is blessed to have you Mary! You've always made a beautiful home for them. It was fun to see the style changes over the years-brought back some great memories for me and some of my decor.
Ty so much for sharing your home tour! There is nothing I would change about your home! It is so welcoming and airy feeling but the embellishments that you do makes It cozy!
It has always Been beautiful, but my favorite way is how you have it now ,all the white. To me, the outside could not be any better. it is beautiful, Especially in the spring when all the trees bloom out & look beautiful. Love your home.
Love it. I do like your original green island. My favorite color is a soft/winter white. Earth tones go so nicely with it and it never gets old. You've done a terrific, terrific job.
That's the fun of home ownership, changing things however you want them. A refresh gives you a mental boost. I have had our living room painted a pale blue-grey that changes color through out the day for about 15 yrs and just can't leave that color, it is so calming.
Love the look of your home, inside and out. I’ve seen some 2023 predictions that white kitchens are out. Not for me! I’ve had white kitchens for decades and never grow tired of it. A white kitchen looks so fresh and clean..
❤ Hi Mary, I SO love your home decorated in mostly WHITE! My favourite colour…of all colours is White! I hope you won’t change your incredible flavours that you now decorate with! ❤
Your property is a piece of heaven on earth. A house is always a work in progress and thank you for sharing the different stages & styles it went through.
Hi Mary FYI I started watching YT during the COVID shut down in March of 2020 and I found your channel not long after that. I watched you do your floor in your bathroom sometime during 2020 as you were painted it! I am a professional Artists working as a Graphic Designer for almost 40 years! My first thought when you painted that floor well it will never last, well you proved me wrong. As an Artist I do love color but your white is nice but not for me! I also struggle with anyone painting wood but so many do and it is nice but not for me either. I have those beautiful wooden oak cabinets in my kitchen and would NEVER paint them. I refinished a table that was my Grand parents that had so many layers of paint on it, it took forever when I was younger which let me with a bad taste to ever paint wood. Just me! I truly love your channel we live in Ohio about a hour from Berlin and I have bought many of your things! Thanks for keeping me entertained with your video! Happy New Year!
It’s always fun to watch the progression over the years of your home. All the changes additions and subtractions of your furniture etc. to see how our tastes change over years
My home also changed over the last 20 years since we moved in .. I have done 95% of the work & changes.. it still needs something’s done , but I will get it done … one day ! But I’m so happy with my little home ❤
I have always loved your home you have a talent for design and so much more. I wouldn't change anything. The beams are absolutely beautiful. The outside view of your property is absolutely beautiful. Everything you do really comes out perfect. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
My favs are the second to last, and the last. I love your home, and everything you've done inside and out. I think the way it was when you were growing up was awesome too. It was very warm and cozy looking. Our homes are our safe havens. Your mom created one for you, and you in turn have created one for your your children. And John of course. We'll done Mary! 🤗
I enjoyed your tour very much. I like that you always give us variety. You have made your home beautiful and it’s so nice it’s been in the family for so many years. Your taste over the years has evolved into…..serenity. 😊
I think if you painted that wall behind your stairs, the one your bedroom door is on, it would give that space more depth and interest, and would make the pretty stair railings pop! Say, a pretty soft or deep green. Fun to see the changes :)
Absolutely beautiful Mary! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home before and present your home is beautiful! You are so amazing , Very comfy cozy home! ❤
I love all the changes you made. You always have such great ideas and you have proven that you don't have to have a huge budget to make changes that look very high end. Blessings.
It was a lovely home to begin with, but you made a lot of beautiful changes. I really liked the red kitchen, but the white definitely made it more open and clean looking. Thank you for sharing all that with us.
How fun. We've lived in our house 40 plus years and have also done alot of work. Even added on 2 bedrooms and a bath. My husband did alot of the work himself. Change is good.
This is the thought that kept reoccurring in my mind! You doll, are beyond talented, humble and no doubt a lovely gift to your family!! Thank you for inspiring me and others so much!
I think your final plan in white is the best ever, I never get tired of it because it’s bright and cheerful.
Thank you for stepping out of your comfort zone and posting the house tour. Sometimes it takes a person several tries to find their style and I think you've found yours.
I agree. Once I've found it, I go years without changing it. The best to you all in 2023!
I totally agree. ❤
In our old house, after I came upon the color for our living room of Sherwin William's "Gray Goose", I stuck with it for years.I loved how the color changed in different lighting.
I love before and after!! It is beautiful in the past and the present. A home has a history and that is what makes it a home!! ❤
Surely a dream property! Heaven on earth.
Don't change anything beautiful.
We built our house 35 years ago…….. I never stopped to really think of all the changes, upgrades, and additions we did through the years both inside and out.
You have definitely landed at a beautiful and timeless style.
How lucky you are to live in such an incredibly beautiful, light, roomy, airy home. A true labor of love. Your current design scheme is stunning. If I owned a home, I would emulate your style.

Shoutout to your parents for having you.

Your home has always been beautiful from the Amish to the present
You have made me do a walk down memory lane with how my paint choices & styles have changed. Thank you for this video.
This is the kind of video I enjoy watching.....no selling stuff. Just your hard work over the ages.

The house looks so much nicer with white ,much brighter and elegant
I love all the plants in the bassinet, what a cute idea and a good saving for memories. You have definitely been a proverbs 31 woman God bless you.
Mary you have created a beautiful home. I love how it has evolved.
You are absolutely pure light! Thank you for genuinely letting that show & for inspiring us in your walk. 🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻
A women after my own heart. I think just paint can do amazing things and so low cost. Your home is lovely.
I loved seeing the changes over the years. It shows your visions and creativity. What a beautiful property!

You made a beautiful home. Dark colors make a small home smaller. It takes time to grow your own style, and you found yours. Lovely.
Your home is beautiful. I love all the clean look of white.
Thank you so much Mary for showing your home in progression. You have made a beautiful home for your family 💕
I wouldn't change a thing. all your styles through the years are just so pretty and peaceful. I really love your landscaping too. 🍃
Sure makes you see how color opens up or makes a room look smaller. Beautiful home. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like a typical home I grew up with, love the change.
The white defiantly looks best in my opinion. Your home looks so cozy.

Andreas is our favorite local place for furniture. 🥰
