Dear Hillary, none of my business, but just a suggestion to try switching the two horse prints to face each other, and see if you feel any difference. I have experienced that when the animals in a print face each other, I feel the room cozier!
I would probably put the horse prints the other way around- facing towards each other. Love the fact that you can paint in a dress and not get covered in paint! ❤
I do like the horse pictures in the dining room, but I would switch them so the horses are facing each other , instead of looking away from each other! Yes, your hostas are going to really grow! My mom used to have 1 peony bush, and when we moved ( several times) it always came with us! I love your organizational skills! 🤗👍
Hilary, you and I are just two peas in a pod when it comes to preparing for all the things and might happen. I’m ALWAYS the one who has what someone needs. 😃One of my favorite things about you and your channel is that I get soooo many moments where I see how you plan ahead and prepare for things that might happen in such an intentional way and I literally say out loud “ohhhh, that’s a GREAT idea! I’m doing that.” We also both value a tidy car. 😊 I love the horse prints in their new spot. I feel like they have perfect lighting for them there and I notice them and their beauty more than where they were previously. VERY interested to see how the strawberry plants in the pink puppy pool work out! Your calm, intentional, practical, plan ahead sensibilities always make me feel like I’ve come across a kindred spirit. Hope you are having a wonderful summer with your family! ❤, Leah
Dear Hilary, I know the baskets on your living room shelves are used for organizational holders, but would you ever consider removing some of them and adding books or other pretty items? I think it would help keep your eye moving around the room not focus on the amount of baskets? I know that sounds snarky, and I'm not trying to be, just a watcher and wonderer of sorts. lol Love all your projects! xo
Thanks Renie, yes I’ve considered it. Right now they hold a lot of miscellaneous craft things but with the basement craft area being finished I can probably move things around and take away a few baskets. I agree it could be lighter 💛
Growing up with three siblings,my mom wanted to protect the beautiful antique dining table we received from our grandparents. Every six months to a year,she would go to one of those hardware type stores that sold vinyl,oil cloth,etc. by the roll. ( the store would cut it for you) She would buy a length that would drape a little on each side and it was VERY heavy weight,clear vinyl. You could still enjoy the beautiful wood finish but it took all of the beating and protected the table. Hmm,wonder if JoAnn’s sells that?🤔
Oh my word! I just can’t believe those who tell you what you should and shouldn’t do! You’re an intelligent educated responsible person and anyone who watches this channel can see that! Your home is lovely and your content is inspirational! If you want to use plastic straws and cups and plant vegetables in a plastic pool go far it!! Happy Summer!! 🙃
The house looks so inviting Hillary! I was thinking that a grandfather clock would look so great on the wall next to the fireplace where the chair and little table were!
I love Windsor chairs! I live in CA and a neighbor of mine, who is originally from NH, had a set of chairs that they brought from their family farm back in the 1970’s. They are retiring and moving back to the family farm in NH and didn’t want to take the chairs back. Well, guess who got them? lol. I’ve restored one of the chairs into a black espresso stain. They are so well made and beautiful!
The horses look mad at each other. Haha! I'd face them to each other. I do like them on the wall but they need to look like they like each other. Peace!
Just a precaution sometimes strawberries don’t come back when planted in containers. At least in my experience and also they are heavy feeders so you will want to fertilize them.
Have you ever used Command Strips to hang up your framed art? It works great! There’s no commitment as you can just pull it off without damaging your walls if you end up changing your mind and no nail holes to fill afterwards. It’s a win-win! Just a suggestion that I’ve used and found to be very helpful.😀
Just an idea...the two linen chairs at dining room table would look amazing in a Ralph Loren "country gent plaid" or a toile with hounds and English riding hunt scene.
I am sure you thought of this, but you can get a really mid thickness piece of glass cut for the top of your table for fairly inexpensive for Custom and Ani last place and I will protect the beautiful finish on that table
As the hostas get bigger you can break them apart and spread them around really easily! Love hostas! Super easy when they are barely poking thru in the spring.
A friend gave me an armload from her fallen birch tree six years ago and I stack them in my real wood burning fireplace in the summer after I clean out the ashes in the spring,it looks nice,not so naked!😅🤣😂
Nobody commented on the blueberry bushes. I'm sure you read on the label for the blueberry bushes that they will grow to be quite tall and wide. We have 5 bushes and every year they get bigger and produce tons of blueberries. I don't know if putting them in front of the hostas will work.
You probably won't see this i but wanted to thank you for introducing me to the author Jane harper. I used to be an avid reader bytc4 kids makes that hard. I'm on my 5th book of hers since you mentioned the dry. I so thoroughly enjoy her style
The clip with you sitting in the car, your hair looks so beautiful! Obviously you do too! Thanks for some inspiration! I planted strawberries with my youngest son yesterday!!
We have used the Equate Anti Itch spray for YEARS with our grandchildren. We call it MAGIC SPRAY because it makes the stings/ scratches feel So Much Better. It’s wet so it must dry before you add a bandaid…. Which they often forget by then…. I just got 2 more for the summer….
Just an idea. You have so much land and that tree is now gone. It would be so much fun to buy a self pollinating apple tree for the kids. I bought mine through I think fast growing trees they are grown to be self pollinating it is two apple trees, growing together. It is amazing. It actually had fruit the first year a d they’re not expensive.
So happy for you getting that new dining table and chair set, Hilary! It fits the aesthetic of your home so much better. And since you love to entertain, the extra leaves will really come in handy. (What happened to the floral lampshade that you used to have on the blue-and-white lamp in the living room?) Blessings!❤
I love your strawberry pool 😂❤ so sweet. My favorite plants are roses. I just added two David Austin Generous Gardener to either side of my front door. I hope my vision comes to life and they grow over the top of the door. Wish me luck! ❤
I had thought something was different about your DR table. I had silver things years ago, and I have not regretted getting rid of having to polish them!
I love the strawberry pool idea and blueberry bushes, can you update us on how they are growing? I always wanted to try and grow strawberries and blueberries. Thanks for sharing. Your house looks great.
Great video! Love the horse prints. And that little strawberry plate is so cute! I agree, hate paper straws. Keeping plastic ones in the car is a great idea!
My sister has good luck growing tomatoes plants in the plastic kiddie pools. Can you send some of your 'get it done' energy my way? 😍 World's best procrastinator here.
Oh no! Not plastic straws and cups 🙈 If you don't like the paper ones maybe consider getting some stainless steel ones - they aren't expensive but can be reused! Love how organised your car is ❤
HAPPY FRIDAY Hillary and family! LOVE THE TABLE AND CHAIRS....SORRY about your tree...NICE planting Hillary. Thanks for all the tips and ideas. HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND. STTB
I saw if you paint some small red rocks and put by your strawbery plants before they get the red berries the birds leave your actual plants alone when they turn red because they get sick of it being rocks. Not sure if it works. Let me know if you try it out. 🙂
You look so beautiful at the end of the video your hair looks so pretty. I love the strawberry idea brilliant, all the plants looked great as well. I love refreshing the house. HappyMemorial Day weekend stay safe darling
I usually have a bag i throw beach towels and swim suits in and bring with us when we go somewhere just in case. We also being nets and buckets for catching critters.
I had strawberries in a planter box last year and they died over the winter. Probably got too cold and froze since they didn’t have as much insulation as plants in the ground. Maybe putting them in the garage or wrapping them would’ve helped.
The hostas will grow like crazy and you can split them after a few years. I have zero gardening skills...but this I know from my husband. I love hostas and have them lining our front walk. Your home is charming, welcoming and lovely. Loving the Ralph Lauren direction you've been going! Love from Estell Manor!
It's ALEAYS such a TREAT to see you! Currently, honestly I have TWO fav. YOU and Kristen Hoffman. Love the strawberry patch garden, the pink is PREICOUS! When I see you working on home projects is a dress, I worry paint might get on it etc.? Love the horse prints in the dining area, BUT this is just me, I have to say I got so EMOTIOANLLY attached your dining table set. Silly, I know, but after watching you for so long, there are just so many fond memories. Also I thought the wood tone matched the China cabinet, better. But again, it's not MY home, so my opinion doesn't matter. Again I absolutely LOVE your videos! Huge FAN!
Love your decor style. The dining set is gorgeous. Your car is well stocked and organized, yet I can’t store some of your items in mine because may be our weather is different, contents will lose their function under high temperature in the car. Your videos are always presented with great enjoyable contents.
I love your living room! It looks so cozy! I’m sure you will come up with the perfect thing for your blank wall. I also really like the horse pictures above the chair rail, it looks beautiful there. 😊-Joanna
Hostas are like candy for deer. Where we live, people melt Irish Spring soap and put it on the Hostas. The deer hate the smell and stay away from your plants.
Dear Hillary, none of my business, but just a suggestion to try switching the two horse prints to face each other, and see if you feel any difference. I have experienced that when the animals in a print face each other, I feel the room cozier!
This is a good suggestion. I’m watching this portion of the video right now and I can’t unsee this lol.
Great idea 😊
Has there been any new videos. I haven’t seen any since the Spring project
I would probably put the horse prints the other way around- facing towards each other. Love the fact that you can paint in a dress and not get covered in paint! ❤
Yes, I thought that too.
Me2, I’m such a messy painter!😂
Agree with the horses facing each other!
I like the horses in the dinning room facing each other
You amaze me painting in a dress! I get paint all over me, just opening the can!!!!
I do like the horse pictures in the dining room, but I would switch them so the horses are facing each other , instead of looking away from each other!
Yes, your hostas are going to really grow!
My mom used to have 1 peony bush, and when we moved ( several times) it always came with us!
I love your organizational skills! 🤗👍
I like the chair as part of the living room furniture grouping!

Ah thanks so much Leah for the kind comment, so glad you’re here! 💛
My favorite channel for YEARS!! 😍
Thank you for being here!
Mine too for many years Hilary is so down to earth that's why I love her so much. ❤️
I love the fact you show us the imperfections in your home as you improve it every day !
Put the "China cabinet" in the basement. Purchase a buffet. The horizontal buffet will make the room wider and larger.
Dear Hilary, I know the baskets on your living room shelves are used for organizational holders, but would you ever consider removing some of them and adding books or other pretty items?

I would definitely go to wal mart or somewhere and get a clear table cloth to protect the beautiful wood ..
Growing up with three siblings,my mom wanted to protect the beautiful antique dining table we received from our grandparents. Every six months to a year,she would go to one of those hardware type stores that sold vinyl,oil cloth,etc. by the roll.

Please consider to use steel straw! They cost like 1 euro AND you get 4 that Will last forever! It's best for our planet.. I have good intentions
The house looks so inviting Hillary! I was thinking that a grandfather clock would look so great on the wall next to the fireplace where the chair and little table were!
My first thought for the wall you are repairing and painting is either a large mirror, or a tapestry 🥰💐🪷🌼💖✝💗
I love Windsor chairs! I live in CA and a neighbor of mine, who is originally from NH, had a set of chairs that they brought from their family farm back in the 1970’s.

made and beautiful!
Oh that’s so awesome, enjoy!! 🤎
Saw some UA-cam tours of Colonial Williamsburg historic homes decorated by designers and thought of you.
It’s always a joy to see you. The dining room table and chairs are gorgeous!
The horses look mad at each other. Haha! I'd face them to each other. I do like them on the wall but they need to look like they like each other. Peace!

It’s funny, I’ve been toying with the idea of patterned slipcovers for them as well 💛
I really like the horse prints in the dining room
Yes, I think the horses should face each other. When they face away it looks like they’re mad at each other.
😂🤣😅👍
I am sure you thought of this, but you can get a really mid thickness piece of glass cut for the top of your table for fairly inexpensive for Custom and Ani last place and I will protect the beautiful finish on that table
Would you ever consider shortening the wall the refrigerator is on for better traffic flow?
The table is in perfect condition! Wow! Great find
I have a small pair of scissors in my glove box to cut tags or whatever and some notepaper just an idea to go along with your suggestions
As the hostas get bigger you can break them apart and spread them around really easily! Love hostas! Super easy when they are barely poking thru in the spring.
You have a great eye for decor, Hillary.🫶🏻
Oh and that dinning room table is BEAUTIFUL, I love it 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙋🏻♀️
Wonderful video Hillary. Yes, those hostas do get very large. But you can always separate them. Have a great weekend.😊🕊️
Hope all is well Hilary.
Love the horse prints in the dining room😊
14:30 I enjoy it when you have the car updates. I usually get mine done in the coming days. God bless you. 😊❤
Hi Hillary …. Loved the video . On that wall between livening room and dining room perhaps you can put a large mirror there
I’ve considered that many times, always keeping my eye out for one at a good price and size 💛
I love the living room refresh, so pretty! And oh yeah those hostas will get huge in 2-3 years. Happy Summer!
Love your new antique dining set. Beautiful wood.
Should’ve kept some logs and tree branches to decorate your home. Pottery Barn was charging $200 for a tree branch a couple of years ago. 😂😂😂
A friend gave me an armload from her fallen birch tree six years ago and I stack them in my real wood burning fireplace in the summer after I clean out the ashes in the spring,it looks nice,not so naked!😅🤣😂
Wonderful score on the table and chairs Hillary!
Good morning Hillary🎉 love your new dining room table looks gorgeous!
Love the strawberry pool plant idea! 🍓

Oh that’s good to know, thank you, hopefully they’ll both grow together? Always an experiment 😅
Hillary, you're looking just gorgeous!
You probably won't see this i but wanted to thank you for introducing me to the author Jane harper. I used to be an avid reader bytc4 kids makes that hard. I'm on my 5th book of hers since you mentioned the dry. I so thoroughly enjoy her style
I see every comment, and I’m so glad you’re enjoying her! I’m on a Shari Lapena kick right now, I’ve read/listened to almost all of them
I love the mini pool garden! So cute. Also a good idea to keep the first aid items in the car. I need to put one in my car too🥸
Love the pool garden idea

I had thought something was different about your DR table. I had silver things years ago, and I have not regretted getting rid of having to polish them!
The strawberry plate is majolica. Nice find.
Although my children are grown, this was a great reminder to update my own in-car seasonal gotta-haves.
Love your new dining room set. It goes well with your home. Also loving all the new plants outside.
I love all the organization in your van. Your a prepared momma.😊
Your strawberry patch is adorable!!!! :)
The baby powder sand tip is great! I always pack it when we go to a beach now.
The living room is so lovely.
Thank you!
Yes, I love it too. So cozy
Ur ready. Awesome organization
Fabulous idea to put the horse pictures there! They look great! Love the new table and chairs too! It’s all looking so good 😊

Sorry Peg, I hold that title. Lol
LOL you can have it. I really do need to unvelcro from my chair & spring clean. Hillary makes it all look so easy.
I love these kinds of videos. So inspiring!
Love peonies 🌸
Thanks for sharing, Hilary ❤
Thank you for sharing this ! I love the horse prints on the wall.😊
You guys! She’s painting in her lovely dress. How does she do it? Like I didn’t feel inferior enough.
Oh no! Not plastic straws and cups 🙈 If you don't like the paper ones maybe consider getting some stainless steel ones - they aren't expensive but can be reused!
Love how organised your car is ❤
I was going to say that too! We each have our own straws and I carry them in my purse when we go out to eat.
I was going to write this too! I have my steel straw it's best for our 🌎🌍
Who wants to clean steel straws? Lol not me 😂
HAPPY FRIDAY Hillary and family! LOVE THE TABLE AND CHAIRS....SORRY about your tree...NICE planting Hillary. Thanks for all the tips and ideas. HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND. STTB
I love the Horse art in your dining room❤️
Looks so pretty and cozy.

Love the strawberry plate❤
Great job! Everything looks wonderful ❤
I usually have a bag i throw beach towels and swim suits in and bring with us when we go somewhere just in case. We also being nets and buckets for catching critters.
Oh and if you get a plastic jar that is nice to have on hand for lightning bugs or catching critters too.
Great to have on hand!
Painting with a dress on and long sleeves of all things.
Your car setup is amazing! And I love the new dining set and horse prints.
I had strawberries in a planter box last year and they died over the winter. Probably got too cold and froze since they didn’t have as much insulation as plants in the ground. Maybe putting them in the garage or wrapping them would’ve helped.
Switch the horse prints I think you like them better❤️❤️
I did, and I do, thank you!
Thank you for those car tips! I really need to do that for the upcoming warm weather. Enjoy your holiday weekend!
The hostas will grow like crazy and you can split them after a few years. I have zero gardening skills...but this I know from my husband. I love hostas and have them lining our front walk.

Hi Hillary! I love your aesthetic; you do such a beautiful job with your home ❤
I always love seeing your beautiful finds! Lovely video as usual!
Really nice arrangement and ideas and efforts .. Happy holiday and summer days 😊
You look lovely in red! ❤
I loved your plate. How did you hang it?
This looks sooo good! Awesome job!
Hostas are like candy for deer. Where we live, people melt Irish Spring soap and put it on the Hostas. The deer hate the smell and stay away from your plants.
Oh thanks for the tip!
What color are your walls? Also, where did you get your living room rug? I love your home... it's beautiful!
Thank you, the color is SW anew gray and the rug is from ruggable 💛
Enjoyed
11:49 I should do this.
I love your house ❤
