***** About Living Traditions Homestead *****
Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out 2 new videos every week! Wednesday and Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we give up the rat race and live simpler, more fulfilling life in the country.

With any device that burns in an enclosed space, I would definitely install a Carbon Monoxide alarm.
Yeah. You could lose all your plants in one night if gas vapors release.
I was looking for this. Carbon monoxide is dangerous. Place it low, and protect your health.
Get a combo...fire alarm as well as CM alarm.
You need a wooden plaque over the front door that reads WHERE LIFE BEGINS.......on the homestead! Good luck with your name!
Love that idea
Love this idea !!
Perfect, I’m gonna borrow that!!!❤️🙏🇺🇸
Oh I love that!
Seed shack♡
Sarah and Kevin, as you know from your past professions, every job has an area for the employees to relax and recharge with some coffee. Since Homesteading is your "job", I think this shed should be called the "Breakroom". Here are a couple of suggestions for your breakroom: 1) Add a whiteboard for important dates or ideas, 2) Add cup hooks above the windows as a "herb drying" station, adding an incredible aroma and freeing up more house space, 3) Simply "Plumb" in water by drilling a hole to exterior, attach a quick connect to the exterior of hole and a shutoff valve to interior, this would allow you to have a short piece of hose to bring the well water inside, 4) and finally, add a radio because music makes every day happy. Big hugs from Pam in NW Arkansas.
Great suggestions! Music does make the day easier, and plants love music also.
Awesome suggestion
@@PennsylvaniaPrepper I read somewhere that cows like music too. A dairy barn was using classical music played during milking time. I don't know how true that is. I have definitely heard that plants grow better with music.
Great idea. And Music for sure
My suggestion will be to call the shed "Genesis" because it will be where most of your plants will start or have 'origin'
My grandmother had a potting shed she called the "Happy Hut" because it brought her so much happiness working with plants.
BJK, What a wonderful way to look at life. Thank you for sharing.
Simply call it what it is, "The Nursery".
That’s cute-baby seedlings being raised in the nursery. ;)
This was my second choice. It is a seedling nursery.
“The Nursery” was my suggestion, too... simple, to the point, apropos.
Yes! Only one word... easy to say, and exactly what it is.. the Nursery! Love it!
Yes, my thoughts exactly
I was surprised that you didn't do something with the floor, even paint it, to avoid the damage that water can do.
Very excellent point especially with easy garage floor epoxy options that are water proof and easy to apply. Very astute point. I was thinking the same. As well as painting the walls around the germination area a highly reflective and weather proof white to add to the useable light.
You could call it Little Seeder Lodge, spelled s-e-e-d-e-r not c-e-d-a-r. Living in Missouri most people would get that😊
The new potting shed could be the Living Traditions “Shedquarters” or “He shed She shed”.
How about The Seed Shed? Lol
@@wandawilhelm5165 that's what I had thought of I agree seed shed
I like this play on words.
Shedquarters!!! 😅 My wife likes that one!!
@@choicesofthebiz9682 I’d be honored if that’s the choice ya’ll make. 😁
“SPROUT HOUSE” IS EXACTLY WHAT IT IS!!
You beat me to it. That’s what I thought of, too. 😊
I like it too!
My Favorite!
I cannot take credit! Stacy Wishart posted that idea very early today! I was just agreeing with her! Great idea Stacy!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
haha. I just posted the exact same thing.
Kevin and Sarah, I think you guys are absolutely awesome! I've been watching your channel for about a year, and I am constantly amazed by your energy, knowledge and ingenuity, and how much you're able to accomplish on a daily basis around your homestead. Kevin, is there anything that you cannot do yourself? I know that I haven't seen all of your shows within this past year, but perhaps setting up electricity for your nursery house, and making provisions for water source for the cows away from the barn area (I think this happened Lol) might be the only things (other than help from a vet for the animals as needed) might be the only times when you've had to rely on the expertise of others. You're also a terrific asset with your kitchen skills, and your willingness and desire to help Sarah with household duties. You're smart and thorough, and I hope lots of men are taking notes from you! And Sarah, you are so much more than a great wife, wonderful mother, and help mate and second set of hands to Kevin, with the multitude of both ongoing and new projects around your farm and home. You don't hesitate to jump right in and handle things, some of which I've never seen a woman do. You (pretty much literally) take the bull by the horns and attack anything that presents itself during the course of your day. (You've even showed us how to cut and color our own hair during a pandemic!) You are such an awesome role model for your girls, as you lead by example. You guys make such a great team, and you do an amazing job on an ongoing basis. And on top of all of this, you're a wonderful testimony to the world by sharing the love and respect you have for God, each other, your children, and even your animals. Please keep doing what you do, and sharing your experiences with us!
They really are amazing! They were my very first YT channel and have taught me so much! I started dreaming of our homestead before we got one...living that dream today!
Pamela Richardsen I
An AMEN to that.
Small building, call it Sprout House
I wanted to add a helpful hint. If you add a small oscillating fan in there it will help keep your air moving and the plants from developing any fungus on the leaves. Love your potting shed!
And a fan will help strengthen leggy stems
The Living Traditions Seed Shack. A little old place where we can get together the seed shack baby.
Lol 😂😂😎🤭
Nice! Maybe even the "Glove Shack".
I vote Seed Shack! That was my first thought.
The garden shack
I love seed shack
As another fan mentioned, you definitely need a CO detector in there with the propane heater. Hope you install one and take no unfortunate and possibly devastating risks!
Save your dehumidifier water to water your plants! 🙂
I do recommend painting the floor with some kind of water proofing. because oops happen.
I agree, something should b done with waterproofing the floor. And possibly the walls as well
As they moved in the first shelf unit I said out loud, "I'm surprised they didn't at least seal the floor first." Nothing was said about drainage either.
Yep, or laminate flooring. Also painting the walls white to help bounce light to make it brighter.
Wonderful! I remember you saying you sometimes store produce in there. How great for winter storage of root veggies or even just curing 🧅 🥔 🧄 on the shelves! Change the temps according to your needs! Grabbing the last of the green tomatoes before a freeze to ripen later... oh the uses you will find! Yay for you😃
The Inquisitive Farmwife Great idea! We would like to make an in ground cellar.....but we never get to it.
Great off season idea!
Don't vent into the attic. The humid air from the inside will condense on the rafters and they will rot.
i think he means to have an air vent in the attic to let in fresh air... not vent the moist air up there... but good advise
Love it. Name, Sprout , Flourish, Garden, Serenity , Grow Shed , Secret Garden, building.
The Crop Shop, The little seedy hideaway.
Can't wait to see which ones you pick for the poll. Love you're videos. 😊
My favorite!
Hi Kevin and Sarah,
Love watching your videos. They are very informative. Thought it was a very good ideal to turn your tiny building into a grow house. May I suggest a linoleum rug to protect your wooden floor from water, dirt and mud. It would make cleaning easier.
My wife suggests “Bloom Room” 😊
Oh I like that!
Cant wait to see this all finished
beat me to it,lol
Great idea for the shed. How about "The 'lil sprout cottage" or just "sprout cottage".
As soon as you said you had a new vision for this building I knew you were going to use it for just this activity. Fantastic decision! I think you should call it The Potter's Shed
Oh, I like that. It reminds me who the Potter really is!
Ooooo Thats good!!
Absolutely love this name!
CALL IT THE " LIGHT HOUSE "
I like "The sprout house" Very awesome that you have a place to be able to get your seeds started, can't wait to see the plants that come out of it.
Potter's Cottage. A little bit of the old use and the new use. For the coffee bar - With coffee I will grow! Great use for the building and a way to reclaim some of your living space in your home.
Who would give this a thumbs down? Seriously? You both are doing a great job with your homestead. Do you get any sleep between the animals, crops, and the new farm you bought? Ahhhh, to be young again. ❤️
I KNOW! What’s wrong with people? Are they jealous? If they don’t like it, just go away.
I’m definitely jealous but only have glowing recommendations for this family!!!! My inspiration for sure to get back to digging in dirt and preserving our harvests!!!!!!
The Pot House
I agree
@@psum6537 Yes Thank you
Great use of an unused resource. I think "Starter House" would be a good name.
I like that because the house is small like a starter home.
Fabulous idea! It's obvious that Sarah is happy about it, grinning ear to ear. Thanks for sharing
The SOWING ROOM, LOL Blessings!
I love your idea
Tina G, that is such a fun play on words, love it!
Great suggestion, it's perfect!
I LOVE this!!
And then, when they start making their own clothing, they can build another right beside it, calling that one the sewing room😉
"Coffee and Greens"
Oh my gosh, that's it Coffee and Greens best one I feel.
Sarah's Seeds and Kevin's Koffee Shack! that one was great as well.
I like that name, near where I live we have a bar/ restaurant called Gnarly Barley, one dish they make I love is called Greens and Beans.
The Blooming Bungalow or the Crop Cottage
Having the right amount of humidity helps regulate the temperature too
Love it !!! we took our pool
house an added a front window room an clear ceiling
You should paint the room white to reflect the light better.
Yesssss!
Oh darn, I thought you were going to offer it up for anyone who would want to stay there in return for helping you in the summer. Lol. But seriously, it is perfect for starting your plants !!!
I got one too and that was my thought.
I’d go!
I thought the same thing. 😄
That's what i was thinking too or a little bnb space. But the potting shed makes perfect sense. And looks great.
Our parents have talked about renting out their cabin on the vineyard in exchange for help didnt think anyone would be interested.
Your tiny house looks like it was meant to hold your beloved plants ! It was so nice to see you bring everything in and get ready for planting. I enjoy your videos very much .
I really liked the one that said shedquarters!
You might put a bottom shelf on you work bench to utilize space
I was thinking about that, too. Or trashcans to hold soil mixes. Some will cut a hole in the top to drop a rubber tub in to hold soil mix. In the middle, so both could grab potting mix.
I'd start a whole lot more seedlings than you normally do to take to the farmers market! With as many people that have taken up gardening and canning you should do VERY well.
@@tinaslouisianakitchen8963 yes, I know. I was saying they need to start even more seedlings since Covid has gotten so many more people planting gardens and expanding existing gardens and canning.
"The Lord's Blessings", or " In The Beginning Seedlings", or "Farm Life Starts" or "Our Seedling Starts", or "Plant Life Starts Here" I pray you have a great year this year in your garden and with all your plant sales, and with all you preservations. God Bless you and keep you always. Laura
I would add a small fan, to stir the air and improve ventilation, which will strengthen the stems and reduce damping off and other sprouting catastrophes. "The LightHouse" maybe?
SEED SHACK
Wasn’t that house the one that you fixed up for your parents several years ago when they came to visit? I was thinking that the interior was more finished than that.. That will make a nice “Sprout House”!

Sarah’s Sprout House ... sowing seeds of new beginnings. Love your new potting shed !
I know you will come up with something very special. How exciting and so very awesome you do this together. Planning, dreaming. working, sharing ideas and watching it all come together. So much to be thankful for. What a blessing!
You could call the shed “Sprout”, or the Mustard Seed, meaning you have the faith the seeds in the shed are your provision for the coming year !
“Grown with Love” grow house
I like the “Sprout House” has meaning of what it actually is and a charming name.
I love it when you guys build things together ! 💚 Those grow lights should be phenomenal. Call it the Luv Shak. 💚💚🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
The Germinator.
Lolol😂🤣😅🤣
Add some Air circulation so the plants don’t rot or soil grow fungi.
Like a fan to stimulate them as the wind would
I like the name "New Beginnings."
Iam so happy and thankful I have found you on youtube. I've officially converted my husband to your vlog. I'll be honest if you took every episode you've ever made, put them in a chronological order and made DVD's I would buy those up in a heartbeat. You and your family do such amazing work, thank you, and thank you for helping my family learn.
Potting cottage sounds good...it did start out sort of like a cottage.
😂 turned into a homestead breaking bad.
The Seedy Nook!
I love the new potting shed. This will certainly be beneficial to your seedling business as well as keeping the mess out of the house. Have a Blessed day.
The seed shed. Couple sky lights would give you some extra free light, too. Make sure to double check that there isn't any recalls on that dehumidifier. There seem to be be recalls all the time on them. God bless.
Call it the "Sprout House", where new veggies sprout to life. 😁👩🌾
The Coffee Bar is a brilliant addition. :-)
I read down through several of the posts and I thought the "Sprout House" struck me as a good name also. I'm so glad you all thought of this. I have to figure out where I'm going to start mine this year. It will be my first year and I'm thinking in my basement. I have LED lights hung down there already for sewing. I put all my sewing away during the spring and summer and only quilt during the fall and winter. I have a dehumidifier down there also to protect my material. Stay safe, stay well. God bless.
So many great name suggestions already made. I'll add: New Life Nook, Seed Beginnings, Starting Place
Here are some name suggestions:
* Sprout House
* Cultivation Castle
* Produce Palace
* Propagation Palace
* Planty Shanty
Sprout house is a great name
HA HA Planty Shanty. Good one.
I like both 'Sprout House' and 'Propagation Station' ( Palace sounds too uppity for a farm). But; for me personally, ' Planty Shanty' is great, it makes me laugh, and sounds so fun. I'd be using the place as a 'Hen Den' for me to escape to as well, so the Planty Shanty would fit just right.
Lolol 😅🤣😂 Fabulous ideas!
I scrolled waaaaay back to the first comments and it looks like I was fifth on the sprout house name suggestion. =/ First for the others though so I'm still awesome. =P
There’s so many names I.e. Germination Station, Seed Shed, Plant Place and so on. I suggest you use fans so that the stems of the new seedlings become stronger and to allow better aeration in the shed. Looks very nice. I would love something like that.
Germination station is cute!
Seed shack
Tonya, Seed Shack is pretty good!
GERMINATION STATION is my favorite suggestion so far! And, I second the recommendation for the fan/fans-they don't have to be massive, just gentle stirring of the air. Will also reduce the risk of fungus gnats, my personal emesis.
I like the seed shack or sprout house recommendations best so far.
I call mine the “she shed”.
Grow Shack
Seems like this would be a good place to cure your potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. in the fall.
the Sprout House
My vote👍
I thought I was first with the winning name suggestion but looks like it was you. Congratulations!!
Oh my word! This is so cool. My husband built a huge shed in our backyard and it has been sitting since it was built only storing the tools used to build it and the leftover materials 🤦♀️😅😬. I might need to get a grow light or 2 and put it to good use for starting my seeds this year!
Wow I have watched since you had 30,000 subs and now you have 474,000. Congrats that's exciting. Great channel. You have beautiful gardens and I know the hard work you put into your properties and videos.
You guys might want to think about some vinyl flooring or something to protect the wood floor from water.
The Seedling Sanctuary
The Seedling Shanty
I love how this all came together.
In Norfolk, England we would call this a potting shed a rather posh potting shed. Love the vids.
Wow I am jealous! What a fantastic use for the little shed. I would love that! A name Idea The Love Shack. I think plants are miracles provide us with nutrition are so invincible and in their own way give us their love to keep producing and keep us surviving. If that makes sense. :)
That will be so handy! My suggestion is “Sprout House”.
I like your better than my suggestion!!❤️
Love that!
Cute idea!
Cute name.
That sounds just like the name they need. 👍
"Grow in Grace" "Earth's Reward"
I love your new addition, possibly 🌱 Seed Shed, Seed Harvest, Seeds Home Grown, Sprouts, Seed House 🌱 Your parents will enjoy even more the noise and excitement of family together, feeling more useful in helping where they can. Eating together, talking and sharing your day will be such a blessing. God is Good!! I love your new place! I'm sharing both this video, your planned 2021 garden seed list and a bit more on FB. I LOVE YOU BOTH AND YOUR CHANNEL. Sandy of Highland, Arkansas.
Blessings i really enjoy seeing you both providing us with your awesome advice. One day soon ill have my garden morning sunshine also
I like plain and simple "potting shed".
Sarah's Seeds and Kevin's Koffee Shack! Hello from Colorado! Thanks for all the great entertainment and informative videos you share! Hope you have a wonderful growing season!
Looking forward to seeing @ the Farmer's Market, this coming Spring!
Perfect garden shed! Looking forward to seeing the garden process this year!🕊️
Really well thought out but simple solution for the grow lights. It’s simple, easy to adjust for height, etc. I just love the ingenuity you two display. And also, you play well together🙂🙂.
I would call it, ' God's Seedling Garden'. Blessings on your new venture of growing the seedlings in the spare house. Great set up. Blessings from Australia, (Angela).
This video was so fun, just watching your excitement for your new found use of the building! I am excited to see how the grow lights work. I think you should call it either the Grow House or the Plant Shed!
I like the way you matched the tables.
This is a potting shed. I’ve always dreamed to have a space like that.
Now that you wont have the seedlings to watch in the house, I predict you will take recurrent trips to your little house to see how they are growing. That’s what gardeners do. 😀♥️🌺 We LOVE seeing our seeds germinate and grow. 😇
I truly enjoy watching your program.
Great video as always. What a great use of this building. I would recommend "Sprout Cafe". Good luck with naming this space.
Sprouts That Love Built
Seed Pod. Let's go out to the Seed Pod!!
Just wanna say I've really enjoyed your videos over the years. Even though that lifestyle is light-years from my comfort zone it's fun to see how the other half lives. You're both adorable and sweet and really hard workers. You have a beautiful family and a beautiful homestead. It's likely we're on opposite ends of the political spectrum but that wouldn't dampen my enjoyment of peeking in on your very interesting life together. Best of luck going forward and all the best!
Awesome Room for that plan.Yall are Soo Creative!!
An empty room would be quick and easy to paint. Also some flooring sheet vinyl or similar reasonably priced and sweep or mop clean.
hey why don't you cover that wall with aluminum foil or something else shiny to reflect the grow light back?
mylar works best...you're right
I was thinking Reflectix on the walls around it.. It would make the heat mats work more efficiently also.
"The Potting Shed" Congratulations on your new garden workspace. Good job Kevin and Sarah! I enjoy your videos and always learn something new. You are truly great teachers! Thank you.
Hey guys. Im thinking that “The seed House cafe”
