I absolutely adore your home. It's a real credit to you and your husband. You have a real eye for decor, it's all so well thought out and simply beautiful. And I have to say that you always look so stylish too.
I love your home, it’s tasteful and comfortable. I love the mix of treasures from your travels, family heirlooms and thrift store finds. I’ve watched your previous tours but I never bored. I always notice something new with each viewing. I sleep with the fan on all year long, I thought I was the only person with that quirk!
Hi, Linda. I just love your home. I would take an older, charming home any day over a larger trendy home. Your home is timeless and a real gem. I don’t think you have too many clothes at all. To me it seems like a “normal” amount and it’s so nice to see that you enjoy thrifted and second hand items as do i. Yes, i would say for the past year i have really shifted to buying second hand, mainly tops and accessories, as pants are harder for me to find the right fit at a thrift store. I usually shop at savers and a local church thrift store nearby which is really nice and has some great brands because of the neighborhood it’s in. Since I’ve shifted to working at home, i no longer need the dressier outfits. So i donate those back or sell on Facebook marketplace so others can enjoy those pieces at a fair price. I can’t even shop for clothes anymore at regular stores lol. I love thrifting for so many reasons but i think when you thrift and/or donate it’s a wonderful feeling of everything coming full circle with purpose.
YES! to needing the fan if it is warm enough. Otherwise, white noise is wonderful. Helps to cover the sound of barking dogs, etc when needed. I do buy much of my wardrobe at thrift shops. I like it! And, yes we have a "man cave", too! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Linda.....I have to agree with all the wonderful comments! I most love the stories you share of all the beautiful things you have in your home...small or large...love the items and their history! Thank you for bringing us into your home.
Linda you inspire me to be more of what the Lord wants me to be.... just finished watching the five things that you hope I find in the garden. You make me laugh at myself and you make me laugh with you joyfully. Blessings always... Rebecca
Linda - your husband’s arrowhead collection is impressive. I used to go arrowhead scouting with my uncle near by The Garden of The God’s . I’m a girl with an obsession with rocks and I owe it to my uncle & his passion for hunting and FINDING Many Ancient Treasures! It took patience & miles of walking but the payoff absolutely precious and a memory of us that I will treasure forever... thanks for bringing my reminiscence back of that to me today 🤍
Hi Jackie while we all know the brutal and beautiful history each county has and the ethnicity of both sides the true gathering of arrowhead - pottery- tools-head dressings ect...was only out of honor love and respect of the Native American people to protect and preserve their legacy so that we all Americans and non Americans can learn and grow from their good and not so good hardships they endured on their journey and along the trails and yes it is so sad to think of the horrific things all of our ancestors had to faced on both sides and in between it bring me great joyfulness in having tangible artifacts my uncle and I bonded over cried over and also laughed about while giving back to honor all of those amazing humans who built the pathway the best way they knew how so the next generations will travel and appreciate each other’s lives God has Blessed us with . Thank you so much for your comment and your kind thoughts God Bless You Jackie
Linda, you are a gracious host, thanks for inviting us in. For me, listening to rainfall is a must every night. I have been wearing thrift finds for over 30 years and the hunt continues.
Excellent tour! I’ll be watching again and again over the weekend. I find I catch something new with each viewing. My ambient “noise” is to play one particular episode of the sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond, set the volume just low enough so I can sort of hear everything but not quite and I fall to sleep before the end of the episode. Also from a large family, my entire childhood was falling off to sleep hearing a brother and sister playing/talking in one room, two brothers tussling in another room, Mom and Dad talking and/or refereeing in another part of the house.
Yes, fan is on every night even in the winter. Both my husband and my dog snore! Without it I can't sleep. Yes I love consignment shops, always have. Your house looks like a home with lots of memories and love. 😘
My favorite thing about your home is all the beautiful natural light. The squeaky floors are amazing too. You live the life most of us just dream about. How sweet of you to share your stories and welcoming all of us into your home. You make me proud to born and raised in Oklahoma.
I have it because it drowns out other noises but have done this since young and up to my 77 yrs. now. Love that there are others who do this same thing. Love your show for all you cover and the unique and wonderful way you bring your audience along as almost part of a family. Thank you for sharing in such interesting ways you give such interesting information. You are amazing .
Oh, I’m not as weird as THEY have always made me feel! I also love walls of bookshelves….every wall could be a bookshelf as far as I’m concerned! And YES to fans, regardless of air conditioning situations. I need air moving. MOVING!! I love your home because everything has a story. I just love to walk into someone’s home and have it speak to me about the people who live there. The worst thing ever is what I call a “Hobby Lobby flyer home.” And… A home without a book in sight makes all my red alerts go off! Lol. You’ve done a beautiful job.
Yes! A fan is needed for a white noise background in our bedroom! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us! I love older homes so much more than the new builds.
Thank you so much for the tour of your upstairs. I love the older homes. I'm with you about the bed. I take the time to see that it looks nice and want it to stay that way for the rest of the day.
And YES to sleeping with a fan!!! I have slept with a fan since I was a kid and I need the noise to sleep. Recently in a hotel room I had to download an app for fan sounds because I didn’t have one!
I ran across your gardening videos while looking for ideas for my backyard. And Wow! Your gardens are gorgeous! You encourage and inspire me to explore my own taste, be unafraid to be creative and enjoy making my yard my own! Thank you!
I LOVE IT! I love your home and truly appreciate your decoration style and renovation bravery! I know I'm borrowing a few decoration ideas. And what a jewel of an accessories closet---it's no wonder you ALWAYS look so well put together even when working in the garden! Thank you for showing us pictures of your beautiful family, siblings, and pictures of your travels with hubby! It was truly a pleasure!!
I always sleep with a fan on at night. I like to sleep under a warm blanket and comforter and the fan not only creates a little air moving but also a cooler environment. I don’t however, like air blowing on my face at night. I love your collections but one of the things I love most in your home is the bench made out of the oriental rug. My cape cod style home and garden are very curated with both new things, family things and thrifted things.
Dear Linda and Stewart, due to the fact I'm a new viewer of your UA-cam videos (thank you to my cousin for sending me the information) I recently watched a back episode of your house tour with your basket with your things in beside your bed. You inspired me with this idea so much, I made my own from crochet using my scrap yarns. Now my bedside table is less cluttered, and the bag has my diary, my journal and my kindle in it, I would like to thank you for that xx Dawn from the Uk
I am a thrifter! I have found cashmere sweaters, beautiful blazers, new Italian leather shoes and countless decorating items. I especially love finding framed cross stitch pieces or paintings that are in my color palette and speak to me of home. The thrift store is my happy place. Postmark is excellent, as well.
We’ve lived in our 1925 Tudor for 38 years. We too have grand mahogany moulding which unfortunately was painted white when we purchased the home. My husband lovingly removed the white paint. We had an unfinished side attic that we converted into a laundry/craft/sewing room. Great video!
I could look at your bedroom everyday, I've seen it before, and will never tire of seeing it again🌺 So love books and built-ins, I have a loft full of books, can never have enough! I'm also a basket freak🌹 Never leave the thrift store will out one!!!! I live in Florida, so I have fans in every room, can't live without them, but their pretty🌷 Your first Mom is beautiful, like you💕 Love, love, your channel ,you are just fabulous🌸 Thank you for coming into my life💜
My grandparents had a telephone alcove in their house that was a pass through from the dining room to a bedroom. Brought back nice memories. They also had a milkbox where the dairy left their milk and cream and if they weren’t home when the “egg lady” delivered, she’d leave the eggs.
I just love your home! I purposely did not say house because you have made it such a home. I love to watch your videos over and over to see each little detail (your outside videos too). I also like your fashion updates. You always look so nice. Your videos bring joy to my life. Thank you for sharing. ❤️🦋🌸🌺🌷🌹p.s. I used to only use a fan for noise and air. Now in the winter I use a noise machine and in warm weather I use a fan and noise machine. I am not a good sleeper! Also as far as clothes I only shop online. I don’t thrift shop, but I do donate clothes at least once a year, so I know others can use them.
Linda, Thank you for sharing your upstairs rooms. My home was built in 1917 so I can relate to the squeaky floor, small closets and windows that rattle. I love every detail. We sleep with a small fan year round. The majority of my home furnishings are thrifted. I think it’s a great ideal to interview Stewart if he’s comfortable doing it. Your fashion is so inspiring. My Husband is from a small town in Oklahoma call Bokchito. A quaint little place that’s stuck in time. You drive through with a single blinking yellow light in the middle of town. Hugs from Texas.
Hi Linda, very generous of you to share your lovely home. I am quite tall and finding clothing in charity shops was very difficult, so I have found a reasonably priced shop for jeans. When they get past their best, l use them for gardening, even patched my last ones because they were so comfortable. Your good reminder about needlepoint, l should get back to it. When my daughter was born ( l made up the design) l did a house, surrounded by a border of flowers, butterflies etc. and embroidered the words "For I have loved you so long delighting in your company" words from a song supposedly written by King Henry the eight. A lovely memory. So maybe Linda a series of needlepoint designs inspired by your garden and home might be appreciated by those who do needlepoint. Love from England 🧑🌾😊
Hi Linda, I love your upstairs it's so beautiful. It has so much charm. And, yes I buy 80% of my clothing from thrift stores. I love when you do house tours!
Yeah. A 28 minute upstairs house tour. Just loved it. Seen some parts before but never get enough of it. Enjoyed all your anecdotes as usual, and your "postage stamp" bathroom is just delightful. Always interesting seeing the architecture and former function of old style homes. That niche which you said may have been for a telephone is just stunning and I am glad you did not have it removed or covered. Good idea to have a his and hers room. Thank you Stewart for the close up shots of the family photos. You know what your viewers like. Thanks again. Love from sunny Sydney, Australia
Hi Linda, I find your house very charming. I love the large painting in the dinning room, the colors are fascinating and I also love the table lamps and the wall paper in the guest room. I wish you to have a happy life.
Linda your home style and fashion sense remind me of my step mom. She was a really great decorator, utilizing antiques, estate sale, thrifted items with lots of unique accessories and art to create an interesting, comfy homey atmosphere. She was a great cook also and hosted many family dinner parties. Everyone loved coming to her house from young to old. The kids enjoyed the interesting items placed around the house to look at and play with. She did it all on a limited budget, collecting pieces over many years. Her collection of Roseville Pottery was extensive, yet she didn't pay much while she was collecting it. She just had a good eye, bought what she liked, and happily the value of what she'd purchased inexpensively over the years increased many many times until her collection is worth quite a lot today. I enjoyed this. Reminds me of "Grandma Lu", as the kids call her.
Linda, thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us again. It never seems repetitive... always so interesting and fun. I sleep with a fan on at night and just started thrifting for clothing out of the need to save money. It was a blast! Love the process.
Thanks for the upstairs tour, Linda. I’m not a big fan of wall paper but I just love the spare bedroom! I am a big fan of bookcases and cabinets and I’m in love with your bedroom and office. We have books, mementos and succulents (I can’t keep orchids alive) that I would be displaying if I had that much room. 🥰
Definitely have to have a fan. Even in the cold of winter I still want a little breeze. Menopause greatly affects this want or need! The sound is soothing too!
I was so excited to see that there was an upstairs tour. Now I see how all the rooms come together. Loved this tour as well. I prefer older homes so the room tours of your home are just perfect for me. I only sleep with the fan on if I'm having some kind of flash which still happens to me even at my age.
I remember my mom spending time straightening every crinkle on her bed so it was just SO! You reminded me of that when you went into the guest bedroom :)
I loove napping! So I sleep on top of my covers almost every day with my extra blankets on me, but then I fold them and straighten everything out and make it look nice afterwards 😊
LOVE~LOVE~LOVE it !!!! To many details to point out , that are just gorgeous , but those two floral prints in your bath and the rug bench , stunning !!! So curated and expressive in such a classic way !!!! 🙋♀️Two fans🤦🏻♀️ we have one for white noise and I have another quieter one for more air (menopause - hot flashes , the struggle is real 😝) I bet those orchids do so well in there , cause you have mentioned that room stays pretty chilly ! Thank you for this tour ! Definitely would enjoy a interview with Stewart !!!
Beautiful. 5+5 in my family. I'm #8, youngest daughter. A pill according to my sisters. I like the air plus white noise. Linda you are so fun, "not that you guys care."
What a beautiful house! Yes, I sleep with a white noise machine. Also, I have an air purifier that helps with my allergies and it makes a nice humming sound.
Hi Linda, thank you for sharing your beautiful house with us. Your bedroom looks very colonial indeed and your guest bedroom looks very comfy especially with your wonderful Churn Dash Quilt. OMG how precious !!!!. Is this old? I am a quilter and think that quilts and quilted things give away a lot about a person's creative personality.
Hi Linda! My youngest son absolutely needs to have the fan on as white noise. I have a tiny one that I keep on my bedside table, which is not noisy but it helps cool me down on the hot summer nights. I had already seen the walkthrough of your bedroom and office when you posted it before....but tonight I noticed that we have more things in common! The same book American Indian Myths and Legends. I have always loved to read about the original inhabitants of our countries (mine Canada, yours USA). I am sure if I were to scan through your library there would be many more that we have in common, no doubt! Thanks for showing us your home. I love your decor. When I saw your QVC copper trellis thingy, I thought I would put a piece of marble or wood on top to make a small side table...and there it is in your office!! LOL!! And yes!! I do thrift my clothes! I find amazing things at church basements, and thrift stores!
Your home is just amazing. I love your style. You have so many wonderful things and I love that everything has a story and things mean a lot to you and your husband. That is what makes a special unique home . Thank you for sharing this with us.
Your home as a whole is absolutely gorgeous….so much charm revealed with every turn….however, (to me) I believe your bathroom was my favorite room in the house….had such a warm, cozy cottage feel to it…..Linda, you’re so sweet to give us a tour of your most private spaces….I can see where you get your good looks from….your mother…a stunning beauty!!!! Again….thank you for sharing another interesting part of yourself….helpful ideas….and ALL the things we find so fascinating about what makes you….be YOU! ♥️
Thank you for the tour of your lovely home! Love the collected feeling of your home and the wonderful memories you shared. We sleep with an air purifier, no fans due to my allergies. My husband has his own office/closet/bathroom too!
You have a very welcoming home, and elegant taste in everything you do. I also add “faux” orchid flowers after the real flowers are gone. It’s my little secret.😂 My husband likes to surround himself with a lot of clutter. After 49 years of marriage, I’m happy that he has his own space to be as messy as he likes, as long as he keeps the door closed when we have guests. 😱
Your home is a favorite. So lovely and reflective of your personality. Thrifter here. I’ve found many of my favorite quality clothing, home and garden items by thrifting.
I have a built-in telephone nook in my first floor hallway. My house was built in the 1940’s. There is also a coal shoot door that can be seen in my basement, which was where coal deliveries were received. Coal was the heating method for the houses in New England back then. Love seeing your house tour!
I have 5 bros & 3 sisters ages 60 t0 79. Love your videos!!! Yes we all need that night noise at night. I would guess a comfort feeling from our childhood ....always some family noise with a big family in a 3 bedroom 1940s ranch home. Your likes are so similar to my husband & myself.
thank you so much. My vision now matches my imagination! I am assuming the boys shared the room that is now Hubs man space. I loved every little detail. And I could so see a young couple in that master with a sweet nursery right there. A charming little family sanctuary ... one can only dream!
Yes I am definitely a white noise addict. Several years ago I purchased from Amazon a HemingWeigh white noise machine which has served very well. It has adjustable volume, a night light, and is small enough to tuck into a suitcase for travel.
I loved the tour today. I love baskets also I need to tell myself while shopping at estate sales I really don’t need another basket. I just love your home. Can’t believe how much clothes you have. Everything is so neat and clean. Excellent video.
Excited to see more of your home! I've mentioned before that I grew up in a brick Tudor in the Seattle area. My family loved it and we still often reminisce about the nooks and crannies and good memories we have. There are 6 kids in my family and my husband's family there are 9 kids - 3 girls and 6 boys so the opposite of yours from what I could tell in your picture. Thank you for sharing!
It was nice to see your upstairs. It is just as beautifully decorated as your downstairs. In another video I thought your desk was on the other side of the room? I am impressed with all the shelving of books and treasures. I do not like the sound of fans when I sleep. I live in a rural area and I enjoy the quiet. I do shop at thrift stores and when I wear clothes from there and get compliments, I have to tell people they were thrifted. I wish I had of shopped at thrift stores when my kids were young.
I just LOVE your house tours!! I always come away with another great idea to try! To answer your question of the day...YES, we definitely sleep with a fan on...both for the "white noise" and for the air! I tend to get really hot in the night, so the air is usually blowing my way...LOL! LOVE, the oriental rug used to make your bench cushion! I gave my son and his wife an old oriental rug that was my mother's and like you, they are hiding the holes! I am going to tell them about your bench! I am a bit late on my comments, but this has been quite a busy week! We are getting ready to start showing our house at the same time we are making plans with a contractor to start renovations at my father-in-laws home that we will be moving into. Also, had our son here, ( our musician) this past weekend. He has been in the studio, working on his album that will be coming out! We are super proud of him!! Lots going on in our world! I sure do enjoy every vlog you put out...It's always fun to get a little "peek" into your charming world! Sending lots of love and blessings your way!
Thank you for the tour of your lovely home. It’s nice to see how the various areas all fit together and relate to one another. Your decor is truly a reflection of you - interesting, warm and inviting.
I love your home! The decor is beautiful. Your style is fantastic, and I need a fan running sometimes, more for comfort than white noise. I love books too!
Love love love your beautiful home!!! I love baskets too and especially love wicker furniture! I think I should start thrifting for clothes, it’s hard for me to find too many clothes that I like enough to purchase!! Thank you for sharing your home with us!!😍
I love the way you love everything you have. I believe that is why we love to watch you show with so much respect what you have done with your beautiful home! We have had 2 old houses and I miss them all the time. The table you showed is one I bought on Amazon,I put it ,in the sunroom.I have had many orchids and I am going to start collecting them again. You are my biggest inspiration! Can’t wait to change things around in the garden.
I so enjoyed the two tours of your home. I love how your respectful of your husband and honor his privacy. I too like to shop at Goodwill for clothes and accessories. It’s so fun. You never know what you’ll find! I sleep with the fan on only in the summertime and I do sit on my made bed, but smooth it out once I stand up.
I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again…you have a lovely home. Us Brits tends to see so many very new American homes on tv etc so it is very refreshing to see the interior of a much older home and a bathroom that is the size of ours over here 😂. Didn’t know if you were aware but ‘All Saints’ is a British brand and they do have beautiful clothes but are a bit expensive… I’ve been buying 95% of my clothes from charity shops (thrift stores) for about 30 years now! 🧡💚🧡💚🇬🇧🇬🇧
I love your bureau. I’ve been looking for a small side table in that finish. They are hard to come by. I guess they’re extremely popular right now. And the ones that I do find are too large for the space that I am trying to fill. Part of me enjoys the hunt And part of me is impatient. There is something to be said for a home that has been built up over the years. That when you look around all of your furnishings have memories behind them.
I buy my clothing at a local consignment store, One More Time in Lincoln, NE and ARC stores in Colorado Springs. Love buying recycled clothes! Thanks for your contribution to recycling Linda by purchasing 2nd hand also.
Yes, all year long, not just men, me too!!! Your hubs also resembles Ernest Hemingway. LOVE thrifting, mostly for home decor but, if I find something fabulous to wear, shoes or jewelry, you bet!
I love your style from your thrifted wardrobe, home's architecture, your decorating style, and especially your garden design! Yesterday, I was in a local thrift store in a small college town. It was so refreshing seeing so many college students thrifting and saving money! We moved in a new country home 4 years ago and between thrifting, FB Marketplace, family pieces, and auctions, almost all our furnishings are previously owned. With a little time and patience there is seldom a reason for me to retail except plants and fertilizer!
Your home is beautiful and I love all the stories behind your furniture, art, and memorabilia collection; those things make a home v.s. a house. Classic never goes out of style. Most of my closet and home furnishings/decor are thrifted or second-hand. I've done this all my life! In my younger years, I thrifted because my single mom had no discretionary money to spend. But now that I am financially secured, I still do it! I love the thrill of the hunt and frankly, older items were made better with better materials. My obsession with thrifting has transferred to my daughter who looks forward to our weekly "hunt". In fact, her friends are so impressed with her sense of style that they have asked her to take them thrifting! I think thrifting is financially smart, earth-friendly, and a creative endeavor. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
Hello Linda, I’m behind with the blogs. Love the tour! I do not have to have background noise to sleep but I love nature sounds with classical music CD’s that I have had for years thunderstorms are the best. I am like you, I love rambling around in thrift stores, antiques & resale shops. You has a sentimentality about thing and have a story for each I can relate to as I keep and treasure my things as well. Omg my aunt and uncle had a phone niche with a phone book cabinet in there house. I would play with it as a kid when we would visit.
I believe 75% of my clothing is now thrifted, I love it. My daughter turned me on to it several years ago. As a stay at home mum she has made a little business out of it.
Your home is lovely. I love hearing the stories of some of your art, about a room or ideas of why you chose certain items or about your travels. I recently found your channel and I enjoy your videos.
I love the tour of the upstairs Its soo cool to see the older houses. I sleep with the tv on low and or the fan on in the summer. I dont like quiet always have to have some kind of noise.
Hi everyone 🌷Linda, I also am a passionate thrifter. I started a ‘Hope Chest’ when I was a teenager, collecting things I’d one day use in my first apartment. Garage sales in those days and I would refinish cast off furniture. It seems to have been a part of my DNA as no one in my family did it. Fast forward almost 50 years and I’m still at it! I have earrings and jewellery I can’t remember a time I didn’t own. It’s always a chuckle when someone asks where I got something and I’ve had it sooo long I can’t possibly remember 😉 My husband and I have separate rooms now and we both love it! I have my own craft room and he has his own workshop. Happy in retirement and living the dream. 😊
This is my second time visiting your video channel and I loved it as much as the first time. I really enjoyed both of them and I love how nothing feels rushed and you can really enjoy looking at everything ❤ Thank you for sharing your beautiful home 🏡 I am looking forward to seeing more from you soon ❣
Your new quilt & shams look great and I love your new table arrangement under the portrait. It sets off the lamp with red shade quite nicely. I have what’s called a MIL suite - small bedroom & 3/4 bath - between the kitchen & den on the east end of the house which is where I sleep and work (the den is my studio). The master bedroom at the north end of the house is my husbands territory which I try to leave alone as long as is sensible. The rest of the house sits within it’s southwest vertex.
Beautiful! Absolutely adore the wallpaper in the guest bedroom!! Your closets are fabulous! Every girl needs one of those accessory closets. Ingenious. Thank you for sharing!
Really enjoyed the tour of upstairs and peeks into your life! Our 30+ year old home has lots of squeaky floors; after viewing your tour, perhaps I can reframe my opinion about them to one of charm rather than annoyance 😉 Dulles Glass is local to me and they are great. So glad you’ve also had good experience with them. I donate lots of clothes to thrifts but now tend to get my post-retirement wardrobe from Costco. 🤣 Casual and comfortable all the way, although I always try to wear earrings, even when I’m in sweats and a hoodie! Thanks for sharing your style and tips, be they gardening, decorating, or fashion!
Yes! I love thrifting! At a time when I can finally buy most of what I want new, I prefer thrifting... for so many reasons!
Love that you make your beds, so many people just spread it up. I make mine as soon as my feet hit the floor.
I absolutely adore your home. It's a real credit to you and your husband.
You have a real eye for decor, it's all so well thought out and simply beautiful.
And I have to say that you always look so stylish too.
I love your home, it’s tasteful and comfortable. I love the mix of treasures from your travels, family heirlooms and thrift store finds.
I’ve watched your previous tours but I never bored. I always notice something new with each viewing.
I sleep with the fan on all year long, I thought I was the only person with that quirk!
Hi, Linda. I just love your home. I would take an older, charming home any day over a larger trendy home. Your home is timeless and a real gem. I don’t think you have too many clothes at all. To me it seems like a “normal” amount and it’s so nice to see that you enjoy thrifted and second hand items as do i. Yes, i would say for the past year i have really shifted to buying second hand, mainly tops and accessories, as pants are harder for me to find the right fit at a thrift store.

I can’t even shop for clothes anymore at regular stores lol. I love thrifting for so many reasons but i think when you thrift and/or donate it’s a wonderful feeling of everything coming full circle with purpose.
I agree not to many at all and I love thrift shopping too and old houses!
YES! to needing the fan if it is warm enough. Otherwise, white noise is wonderful. Helps to
cover the sound of barking dogs, etc when needed.
I do buy much of my wardrobe at thrift shops. I like it!
And, yes we have a "man cave", too! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Linda.....I have to agree with all the wonderful comments! I most love the stories you share of all the beautiful things you have in your home...small or large...love the items and their history! Thank you for bringing us into your home.
Linda you inspire me to be more of what the Lord wants me to be.... just finished watching the five things that you hope I find in the garden. You make me laugh at myself and you make me laugh with you joyfully. Blessings always... Rebecca
Thanks for the heart....this past Monday the 14th was my anniversary....51 years and going strong....kids getting married...what a wonder....
Linda - your husband’s arrowhead collection is impressive. I used to go arrowhead scouting with my uncle near by The Garden of The God’s . I’m a girl with an obsession with rocks and I owe it to my uncle & his passion for hunting and FINDING Many Ancient Treasures! It took patience & miles of walking but the payoff absolutely precious and a memory of us that I will treasure forever... thanks for bringing my reminiscence back of that to me today 🤍
Hi Jackie while we all know the brutal and beautiful history each county has and the ethnicity of both sides the true gathering of arrowhead - pottery- tools-head dressings ect...was only out of honor love and respect of the Native American people to protect and preserve their legacy so that we all Americans and non Americans can learn and grow from their good and not so good hardships they endured on their journey and along the trails and yes it is so sad to think of the horrific things all of our ancestors had to faced on both sides and in between it bring me great joyfulness in having tangible artifacts my uncle and I bonded over cried over and also laughed about while giving back to honor all of those amazing humans who built the pathway the best way they knew how so the next generations will travel and appreciate each other’s lives God has Blessed us with . Thank you so much for your comment and your kind thoughts God Bless You Jackie
A Stewart interview would be wonderful! Your home is spectacular! Every detail is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
We live in South Carolina and yes all the bedrooms have ceiling fans and our bedroom has its fan on every night Love your home so beautiful
Linda, you are a gracious host, thanks for inviting us in. For me, listening to rainfall is a must every night. I have been wearing thrift finds for over 30 years and the hunt continues.
Excellent tour! I’ll be watching again and again over the weekend. I find I catch something new with each viewing. My ambient “noise” is to play one particular episode of the sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond, set the volume just low enough so I can sort of hear everything but not quite and I fall to sleep before the end of the episode. Also from a large family, my entire childhood was falling off to sleep hearing a brother and sister playing/talking in one room, two brothers tussling in another room, Mom and Dad talking and/or refereeing in another part of the house.
His and her areas seem so essential to me!
Yes, fan is on every night even in the winter. Both my husband and my dog snore! Without it I can't sleep.
Yes I love consignment shops, always have. Your house looks like a home with lots of memories and love. 😘
Yes, we have a ceiling fan over our bed and it's on every night along with ocean sounds thru Alexa.
My favorite thing about your home is all the beautiful natural light. The squeaky floors are amazing too. You live the life most of us just dream about. How sweet of you to share your stories and welcoming all of us into your home. You make me proud to born and raised in Oklahoma.
I have it because it drowns out other noises but have done this since young and up to my 77 yrs. now. Love that there are others who do this same thing. Love your show for all you cover and the unique and wonderful way you bring your audience along as almost part of a family. Thank you for sharing in such interesting ways you give such interesting information. You are amazing .
Oh, I’m not as weird as THEY have always made me feel!
I also love walls of bookshelves….every wall could be a bookshelf as far as I’m concerned!
And YES to fans, regardless of air conditioning situations. I need air moving. MOVING!!
I love your home because everything has a story. I just love to walk into someone’s home and have it speak to me about the people who live there. The worst thing ever is what I call a “Hobby Lobby flyer home.” And… A home without a book in sight makes all my red alerts go off! Lol.
You’ve done a beautiful job.
Yes! A fan is needed for a white noise background in our bedroom! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us! I love older homes so much more than the new builds.
Thank you so much for the tour of your upstairs. I love the older homes. I'm with you about the bed. I take the time to see that it looks nice and want it to stay that way for the rest of the day.
And YES to sleeping with a fan!!! I have slept with a fan since I was a kid and I need the noise to sleep. Recently in a hotel room I had to download an app for fan sounds because I didn’t have one!
I ran across your gardening videos while looking for ideas for my backyard. And Wow! Your gardens are gorgeous! You encourage and inspire me to explore my own taste, be unafraid to be creative and enjoy making my yard my own! Thank you!
We sleep with fan for sure. White noise for my husband and coolness for me. I’m very hot natured!! I miss you and Linda on Channel 4!
Thanks for the tour. Love all the nooks and crannies. Love combining new and old. A charming sophistication.
I LOVE IT! I love your home and truly appreciate your decoration style and renovation bravery! I know I'm borrowing a few decoration ideas. And what a jewel of an accessories closet---it's no wonder you ALWAYS look so well put together even when working in the garden! Thank you for showing us pictures of your beautiful family, siblings, and pictures of your travels with hubby! It was truly a pleasure!!
I always sleep with a fan on at night. I like to sleep under a warm blanket and comforter and the fan not only creates a little air moving but also a cooler environment. I don’t however, like air blowing on my face at night. I love your collections but one of the things I love most in your home is the bench made out of the oriental rug. My cape cod style home and garden are very curated with both new things, family things and thrifted things.
I love your home, it is decorated beautifully. You are so real and down to earth and your home reflects that. Ann Honsel
Dear Linda and Stewart, due to the fact I'm a new viewer of your UA-cam videos (thank you to my cousin for sending me the information) I recently watched a back episode of your house tour with your basket with your things in beside your bed. You inspired me with this idea so much, I made my own from crochet using my scrap yarns. Now my bedside table is less cluttered, and the bag has my diary, my journal and my kindle in it, I would like to thank you for that xx Dawn from the Uk
I am a thrifter! I have found cashmere sweaters, beautiful blazers, new Italian leather shoes and countless decorating items. I especially love finding framed cross stitch pieces or paintings that are in my color palette and speak to me of home. The thrift store is my happy place. Postmark is excellent, as well.
We’ve lived in our 1925 Tudor for 38 years. We too have grand mahogany moulding which unfortunately was painted white when we purchased the home. My husband lovingly removed the white paint. We had an unfinished side attic that we converted into a laundry/craft/sewing room. Great video!
Love your house! Every place has a purpose and a feeling of your soul. A real home!
You have a beautiful and warm home. Love it. Thx for the tour
I could look at your bedroom everyday, I've seen it before, and will never tire of seeing it again🌺 So love books and built-ins, I have a loft full of books, can never have enough! I'm also a basket freak🌹 Never leave the thrift store will out one!!!! I live in Florida, so I have fans in every room, can't live without them, but their pretty🌷 Your first Mom is beautiful, like you💕 Love, love, your channel ,you are just fabulous🌸 Thank you for coming into my life💜
My grandparents had a telephone alcove in their house that was a pass through from the dining room to a bedroom. Brought back nice memories. They also had a milkbox where the dairy left their milk and cream and if they weren’t home when the “egg lady” delivered, she’d leave the eggs.
I just love your home! I purposely did not say house because you have made it such a home. I love to watch your videos over and over to see each little detail (your outside videos too). I also like your fashion updates. You always look so nice. Your videos bring joy to my life. Thank you for sharing. ❤️🦋🌸🌺🌷🌹p.s. I used to only use a fan for noise and air. Now in the winter I use a noise machine and in warm weather I use a fan and noise machine. I am not a good sleeper! Also as far as clothes I only shop online. I don’t thrift shop, but I do donate clothes at least once a year, so I know others can use them.
Linda, Thank you for sharing your upstairs rooms. My home was built in 1917 so I can relate to the squeaky floor, small closets and windows that rattle. I love every detail. We sleep with a small fan year round. The majority of my home furnishings are thrifted. I think it’s a great ideal to interview Stewart if he’s comfortable doing it. Your fashion is so inspiring. My Husband is from a small town in Oklahoma call Bokchito. A quaint little place that’s stuck in time. You drive through with a single blinking yellow light in the middle of town. Hugs from Texas.
LINDA, YOUR HOME IS SO, SO CHARMING!!!!!!!!!!
Love your home !!! Also love that you are sharing your life with us!!! Yes we sleep with fans , ceiling and tower😉.
Hi Linda, very generous of you to share your lovely home. I am quite tall and finding clothing in charity shops was very difficult, so I have found a reasonably priced shop for jeans. When they get past their best, l use them for gardening, even patched my last ones because they were so comfortable. Your good reminder about needlepoint, l should get back to it. When my daughter was born ( l made up the design) l did a house, surrounded by a border of flowers, butterflies etc. and embroidered the words "For I have loved you so long delighting in your company" words from a song supposedly written by King Henry the eight. A lovely memory. So maybe Linda a series of needlepoint designs inspired by your garden and home might be appreciated by those who do needlepoint. Love from England 🧑🌾😊
Hi Linda, I love your upstairs it's so beautiful. It has so much charm. And, yes I buy 80% of my clothing from thrift stores. I love when you do house tours!
My husband I have also spent time in Africia and so appreciate that you love the culture.
Yeah. A 28 minute upstairs house tour. Just loved it. Seen some parts before but never get enough of it. Enjoyed all your anecdotes as usual, and your "postage stamp" bathroom is just delightful. Always interesting seeing the architecture and former function of old style homes. That niche which you said may have been for a telephone is just stunning and I am glad you did not have it removed or covered. Good idea to have a his and hers room. Thank you Stewart for the close up shots of the family photos. You know what your viewers like. Thanks again. Love from sunny Sydney, Australia
You are so real and sincere Linda, I’m so glad I found you!
Hi Linda, I find your house very charming. I love the large painting in the dinning room, the colors are fascinating and I also love the table lamps and the wall paper in the guest room. I wish you to have a happy life.
Linda your home style and fashion sense remind me of my step mom. She was a really great decorator, utilizing antiques, estate sale, thrifted items with lots of unique accessories and art to create an interesting, comfy homey atmosphere. She was a great cook also and hosted many family dinner parties. Everyone loved coming to her house from young to old. The kids enjoyed the interesting items placed around the house to look at and play with. She did it all on a limited budget, collecting pieces over many years. Her collection of Roseville Pottery was extensive, yet she didn't pay much while she was collecting it. She just had a good eye, bought what she liked, and happily the value of what she'd purchased inexpensively over the years increased many many times until her collection is worth quite a lot today. I enjoyed this. Reminds me of "Grandma Lu", as the kids call her.
Linda, thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us again. It never seems repetitive... always so interesting and fun.
I sleep with a fan on at night and just started thrifting for clothing out of the need to save money. It was a blast! Love the process.
Thanks for the upstairs tour, Linda. I’m not a big fan of wall paper but I just love the spare bedroom! I am a big fan of bookcases and cabinets and I’m in love with your bedroom and office. We have books, mementos and succulents (I can’t keep orchids alive) that I would be displaying if I had that much room. 🥰
Definitely have to have a fan. Even in the cold of winter I still want a little breeze. Menopause greatly affects this want or need! The sound is soothing too!
I was so excited to see that there was an upstairs tour. Now I see how all the rooms come together. Loved this tour as well. I prefer older homes so the room tours of your home are just perfect for me. I only sleep with the fan on if I'm having some kind of flash which still happens to me even at my age.
I remember my mom spending time straightening every crinkle on her bed so it was just SO! You reminded me of that when you went into the guest bedroom :)
I loove napping! So I sleep on top of my covers almost every day with my extra blankets on me, but then I fold them and straighten everything out and make it look nice afterwards 😊
LOVE~LOVE~LOVE it !!!! To many details to point out , that are just gorgeous , but those two floral prints in your bath and the rug bench , stunning !!! So curated and expressive in such a classic way !!!! 🙋♀️Two fans🤦🏻♀️ we have one for white noise and I have another quieter one for more air (menopause - hot flashes , the struggle is real 😝) I bet those orchids do so well in there , cause you have mentioned that room stays pretty chilly ! Thank you for this tour ! Definitely would enjoy a interview with Stewart !!!
Beautiful. 5+5 in my family. I'm #8, youngest daughter. A pill according to my sisters. I like the air plus white noise. Linda you are so fun, "not that you guys care."
What a beautiful house! Yes, I sleep with a white noise machine. Also, I have an air purifier that helps with my allergies and it makes a nice humming sound.
Hi Linda, thank you for sharing your beautiful house with us. Your bedroom looks very colonial indeed and your guest bedroom looks very comfy especially with your wonderful Churn Dash Quilt. OMG how precious !!!!. Is this old? I am a quilter and think that quilts and quilted things give away a lot about a person's creative personality.
Hi Linda! My youngest son absolutely needs to have the fan on as white noise. I have a tiny one that I keep on my bedside table, which is not noisy but it helps cool me down on the hot summer nights. I had already seen the walkthrough of your bedroom and office when you posted it before....but tonight I noticed that we have more things in common! The same book American Indian Myths and Legends. I have always loved to read about the original inhabitants of our countries (mine Canada, yours USA). I am sure if I were to scan through your library there would be many more that we have in common, no doubt! Thanks for showing us your home. I love your decor. When I saw your QVC copper trellis thingy, I thought I would put a piece of marble or wood on top to make a small side table...and there it is in your office!! LOL!! And yes!! I do thrift my clothes! I find amazing things at church basements, and thrift stores!
Your home is gorgeous, inviting and warm! I love how all your photos and pictures are framed and placed throughout your house.
Your home is just amazing. I love your style. You have so many wonderful things and I love that everything has a story and things mean a lot to you and your husband. That is what makes a special unique home . Thank you for sharing this with us.
Your home as a whole is absolutely gorgeous….so much charm revealed with every turn….however, (to me) I believe your bathroom was my favorite room in the house….had such a warm, cozy cottage feel to it…..Linda, you’re so sweet to give us a tour of your most private spaces….I can see where you get your good looks from….your mother…a stunning beauty!!!! Again….thank you for sharing another interesting part of yourself….helpful ideas….and ALL the things we find so fascinating about what makes you….be YOU! ♥️
Thank you for the tour of your lovely home! Love the collected feeling of your home and the wonderful memories you shared. We sleep with an air purifier, no fans due to my allergies. My husband has his own office/closet/bathroom too!
You have a very welcoming home, and elegant taste in everything you do. I also add “faux” orchid flowers after the real flowers are gone.
It’s my little secret.😂 My husband likes to surround himself with a lot of clutter. After 49 years of marriage, I’m happy that he has his own space to be as messy as he likes, as long as he keeps the door closed when we have guests. 😱
Your home is a favorite. So lovely and reflective of your personality. Thrifter here. I’ve found many of my favorite quality clothing, home and garden items by thrifting.
I have a built-in telephone nook in my first floor hallway. My house was built in the 1940’s. There is also a coal shoot door that can be seen in my basement, which was where coal deliveries were received. Coal was the heating method for the houses in New England back then. Love seeing your house tour!
Linda,thank you so much for sharing your beautiful and lovely and cozy home.♥️
I have 5 bros & 3 sisters ages 60 t0 79. Love your videos!!! Yes we all need that night noise at night. I would guess a comfort feeling from our childhood ....always some family noise with a big family in a 3 bedroom 1940s ranch home. Your likes are so similar to my husband & myself.
thank you so much. My vision now matches my imagination! I am assuming the boys shared the room that is now Hubs man space. I loved every little detail. And I could so see a young couple in that master with a sweet nursery right there. A charming little family sanctuary ... one can only dream!
Yes I am definitely a white noise addict. Several years ago I purchased from Amazon a HemingWeigh white noise machine which has served very well. It has adjustable volume, a night light, and is small enough to tuck into a suitcase for travel.
Yes, I have a fan! I cannot sleep without it.
I loved the tour today. I love baskets also I need to tell myself while shopping at estate sales I really don’t need another basket. I just love your home. Can’t believe how much clothes you have. Everything is so neat and clean. Excellent video.
Excited to see more of your home! I've mentioned before that I grew up in a brick Tudor in the Seattle area. My family loved it and we still often reminisce about the nooks and crannies and good memories we have. There are 6 kids in my family and my husband's family there are 9 kids - 3 girls and 6 boys so the opposite of yours from what I could tell in your picture. Thank you for sharing!
It was nice to see your upstairs. It is just as beautifully decorated as your downstairs. In another video I thought your desk was on the other side of the room? I am impressed with all the shelving of books and treasures. I do not like the sound of fans when I sleep. I live in a rural area and I enjoy the quiet. I do shop at thrift stores and when I wear clothes from there and get compliments, I have to tell people they were thrifted. I wish I had of shopped at thrift stores when my kids were young.
Thank you for welcoming us into your lovely home. And- Answer of the day: Oh yes. I absolutely MUST sleep with a fan on! Since childhood.
I just LOVE your house tours!! I always come away with another great idea to try! To answer your question of the day...YES, we definitely sleep with a fan on...both for the "white noise" and for the air! I tend to get really hot in the night, so the air is usually blowing my way...LOL! LOVE, the oriental rug used to make your bench cushion! I gave my son and his wife an old oriental rug that was my mother's and like you, they are hiding the holes! I am going to tell them about your bench! I am a bit late on my comments, but this has been quite a busy week! We are getting ready to start showing our house at the same time we are making plans with a contractor to start renovations at my father-in-laws home that we will be moving into. Also, had our son here, ( our musician) this past weekend. He has been in the studio, working on his album that will be coming out! We are super proud of him!! Lots going on in our world! I sure do enjoy every vlog you put out...It's always fun to get a little "peek" into your charming world! Sending lots of love and blessings your way!
Thank you for the tour of your lovely home. It’s nice to see how the various areas all fit together and relate to one another. Your decor is truly a reflection of you - interesting, warm and inviting.
I love your home! The decor is beautiful. Your style is fantastic, and I need a fan running sometimes, more for comfort than white noise. I love books too!
Love love love your beautiful home!!! I love baskets too and especially love wicker furniture! I think I should start thrifting for clothes, it’s hard for me to find too many clothes that I like enough to purchase!! Thank you for sharing your home with us!!😍
I love the way you love everything you have. I believe that is why we love to watch you show with so much respect what you have done with your beautiful home! We have had 2 old houses and I miss them all the time. The table you showed is one I bought on Amazon,I put it ,in the sunroom.I have had many orchids and I am going to start collecting them again. You are my biggest inspiration! Can’t wait to change things around in the garden.
Such a beautiful home God bless. I always go second hand and sew my own sun maxi dresses.
I so enjoyed the two tours of your home. I love how your respectful of your husband and honor his privacy. I too like to shop at Goodwill for clothes and accessories. It’s so fun. You never know what you’ll find! I sleep with the fan on only in the summertime and I do sit on my made bed, but smooth it out once I stand up.
Linda, your home is so beautiful as well as you. I love all the topiaries. I always look forward to seeing what your outfit of the day is.
I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again…you have a lovely home. Us Brits tends to see so many very new American homes on tv etc so it is very refreshing to see the interior of a much older home and a bathroom that is the size of ours over here 😂. Didn’t know if you were aware but ‘All Saints’ is a British brand and they do have beautiful clothes but are a bit expensive… I’ve been buying 95% of my clothes from charity shops (thrift stores) for about 30 years now! 🧡💚🧡💚🇬🇧🇬🇧
I love your bureau. I’ve been looking for a small side table in that finish. They are hard to come by. I guess they’re extremely popular right now. And the ones that I do find are too large for the space that I am trying to fill. Part of me enjoys the hunt And part of me is impatient. There is something to be said for a home that has been built up over the years. That when you look around all of your furnishings have memories behind them.
I buy my clothing at a local consignment store, One More Time in Lincoln, NE and ARC stores in Colorado Springs. Love buying recycled clothes! Thanks for your contribution to recycling Linda by purchasing 2nd hand also.
Yes, all year long, not just men, me too!!! Your hubs also resembles Ernest Hemingway. LOVE thrifting, mostly for home decor but, if I find something fabulous to wear, shoes or jewelry, you bet!
I love your style from your thrifted wardrobe, home's architecture, your decorating style, and especially your garden design! Yesterday, I was in a local thrift store in a small college town. It was so refreshing seeing so many college students thrifting and saving money! We moved in a new country home 4 years ago and between thrifting, FB Marketplace, family pieces, and auctions, almost all our furnishings are previously owned. With a little time and patience there is seldom a reason for me to retail except plants and fertilizer!
I also have a fan running in my bedroom 364. I have a smaller travel one also.
i love your home and you have done such a beautiful decorating job thank you
Your home is absolutely beautiful!! I love how you display your meaningful pictures/items, it truly makes a meaningful home!! Love it all!!
Your home is beautiful and I love all the stories behind your furniture, art, and memorabilia collection; those things make a home v.s. a house.
Classic never goes out of style. Most of my closet and home furnishings/decor are thrifted or second-hand. I've done this all my life! In my younger years, I thrifted because my single mom had no discretionary money to spend. But now that I am financially secured, I still do it! I love the thrill of the hunt and frankly, older items were made better with better materials. My obsession with thrifting has transferred to my daughter who looks forward to our weekly "hunt". In fact, her friends are so impressed with her sense of style that they have asked her to take them thrifting! I think thrifting is financially smart, earth-friendly, and a creative endeavor. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
Yes!
Hello Linda, I’m behind with the blogs. Love the tour! I do not have to have background noise to sleep but I love nature sounds with classical music CD’s that I have had for years thunderstorms are the best. I am like you, I love rambling around in thrift stores, antiques & resale shops. You has a sentimentality about thing and have a story for each I can relate to as I keep and treasure my things as well.
Omg my aunt and uncle had a phone niche with a phone book cabinet in there house. I would play with it as a kid when we would visit.
Your house is my dream! Tons of books, natural elements, art and character. 😍
I believe 75% of my clothing is now thrifted, I love it. My daughter turned me on to it several years ago. As a stay at home mum she has made a little business out of it.
Your home is lovely. I love hearing the stories of some of your art, about a room or ideas of why you chose certain items or about your travels. I recently found your channel and I enjoy your videos.
I love the tour of the upstairs Its soo cool to see the older houses. I sleep with the tv on low and or the fan on in the summer. I dont like quiet always have to have some kind of noise.
Hi everyone 🌷Linda, I also am a passionate thrifter. I started a ‘Hope Chest’ when I was a teenager, collecting things I’d one day use in my first apartment. Garage sales in those days and I would refinish cast off furniture. It seems to have been a part of my DNA as no one in my family did it. Fast forward almost 50 years and I’m still at it! I have earrings and jewellery I can’t remember a time I didn’t own. It’s always a chuckle when someone asks where I got something and I’ve had it sooo long I can’t possibly remember 😉
My husband and I have separate rooms now and we both love it! I have my own craft room and he has his own workshop. Happy in retirement and living the dream. 😊
This is my second time visiting your video channel and I loved it as much as the first time. I really enjoyed both of them and I love how nothing feels rushed and you can really enjoy looking at everything ❤ Thank you for sharing your beautiful home 🏡 I am looking forward to seeing more from you soon ❣
Welcome Jill!
Your new quilt & shams look great and I love your new table arrangement under the portrait. It sets off the lamp with red shade quite nicely. I have what’s called a MIL suite - small bedroom & 3/4 bath - between the kitchen & den on the east end of the house which is where I sleep and work (the den is my studio). The master bedroom at the north end of the house is my husbands territory which I try to leave alone as long as is sensible. The rest of the house sits within it’s southwest vertex.
Beautiful! Absolutely adore the wallpaper in the guest bedroom!! Your closets are fabulous! Every girl needs one of those accessory closets. Ingenious. Thank you for sharing!
Really enjoyed the tour of upstairs and peeks into your life! Our 30+ year old home has lots of squeaky floors; after viewing your tour, perhaps I can reframe my opinion about them to one of charm rather than annoyance 😉 Dulles Glass is local to me and they are great. So glad you’ve also had good experience with them. I donate lots of clothes to thrifts but now tend to get my post-retirement wardrobe from Costco. 🤣 Casual and comfortable all the way, although I always try to wear earrings, even when I’m in sweats and a hoodie! Thanks for sharing your style and tips, be they gardening, decorating, or fashion!
So funny! I ALWAYS wear earrings no matter what! My grandma taught me that! My high school friends still make fun of me at 57 years old!!
Your home is beautiful and fits you perfectly
Yes, my husband and I have our own separate spaces too and Lots of my clothing are second hand as well. You’re amazing Linda, I love your channel!
