Can we all agree that Kristen's baby bump is adorable???
Just precious
Yes!
Liking the changes! Love Brook Linen.
She is always adorable, but yes . God bless her and this tiny growing life inside.
She looked super sweet❤️
I’m 52 and I aspire to have as grown-up and sophisticated home as you already have!
I’m sorry, but I kinda see you following what everyone else on UA-cam is doing, and the reason I’ve enjoyed watching you is because you are DIFFERENT.
You truly do not need to assimilate to a specific look, that all the others have regurgitated over and over again.
Homogenizing everything to look something like it came from a big box store is not going to fit your already elegant personal style aesthetic.
You are amazing and unique, Kristen!
You definitely do not need to download the same artwork that people with no imagination or talent are using.
Your collection of pictures are breathtaking and such a sweet soft beautiful look.
You haven’t even done anything yet on my end, but I fear what I’m about to see!
She's young and leaning into her need for change. If we don't change things up once in a while it begins to feel stagnant.
Just because you feel a certain way doesn't mean she's doing something wrong. Let her do what makes her happy, instead of projecting what you think onto her. ✌️
The comment was a bit dramatic at the end there lol..
.on the one hand I see your point, and on the other she did pick out her favorite prints out of thousands and it’s okay to move away from the sometimes stuffy air of thrifted art. I find that these downloadable offer a classic look with monochrome tones making it a more modern choice.
Less is more❤❤❤
I have bought several of those lately and framed them. I love them.
I agree with you, and I hope she takes your comment to heart.
I've Never Seen Anyone Use Dirt Like that, That Gave A Unique Coloration To Both Pieces,Thank For Sharing
Changing out your wall art to one large print and moving the plant to the corner made a lovely new look. The DIY of lamp and vessel turned out great. Thank you for sharing your design journey and the inspiration today about creating and God's creation!
Looks amazing! You could try putting some books under your table lamp to give it some height. Your baby bump is adorable ❤
Kristen, I love the changes you made. The large print above your couch and the fiddle leaf fig plant really made a beautiful change. Your home is simply beautiful. You look adorable with your “baby bump”. Your are such a beautiful woman inside and out and I love how you share scripture on your channel. God bless you and your beautiful family!
Thanks so much! 😊
I actually really like the layered empty frames on the mantle with the candles! And just having the large print be the focal print in the room. Your DIYs came out great! ❤
😂 it’s kind of ironic that the new trend is the look you have already achieved. You were ahead of the trend. A moody color room…collected look with your gallery wall. That’s a lot of work. I can understand wanting to lighten up the room as it will be used as a nursery/kidroom. It’s beautiful what you have, I’m sure what you refresh will look beautiful too. Love the new frames. Love your channel.
I admit I always enjoyed your gallery wall, but I too am always ready for a change. What I love about you is your style and how you don’t follow the trends that are happening every season. Your home is always an extension of you and your family and when someone walks in your home they learn who you are In a way that words don’t speak and actions don’t show. Love your video as always! ❤
The big point over the couch is so much more calming to the eyes.
The new picture over the couch is gorgeous. The photo gallery was very pretty but this is more timeless and has a cleaner aesthetic. And the lamp...STUNNING, you have definitely got the creative gene.
Oh thank you!
I too enjoyed seeing your gallery wall, but it’s your home dear Kristen, so it needs to suit your tastes and you’ve got to love it.
You have a beautiful style.
Oh thank you!
When I was growing up, not only did we move once a year, my mom was always changing her decor, and rearranging everything. So rearranging things and changing out art and decor feels like the natural thing to do. No matter how much work it takes for me, it’s worth it in the end, because I want to be in love with everything. It always makes me see all of the beautiful things that I’ve collected again, instead of them “being part of the furniture.”
Gallery walls are really fun and pretty, but they’re busy. For the season you’re in of wanting things more simple, the switch you made seems perfect.
That is exactly how I feel. I love our little home. I like to make it unique. I change out our bedroom by changing the comforter and a few other things. People tell me it’s too much trouble..it’s my enjoyment . Happy rearranging. 💕💕💕💕
Hi Kristen. I literally spent my whole Saturday watching your UA-cam videos and I think you are amazing. I love your beautiful home and I love how you decorated your home. You are authentic and unique. I also love how you are sharing the good news of Christ. A big thank you for these inspiring videos from a Sunny South. Africa
You said you wanted the room to feel more grown up and sophisticated... I feel that is what the gallery wall did. The one large framed art seems so predictable to me. Whereas the gallery wall had such style and movement visually. But this is your home. Also in Ivy's room... color drenching walls and trim is so in right now. I love it. Maybe adding a vintage wood wall unit for books and decor would give it that library feel.
Love "hamster wheel" of ideas. Glad I'm not alone!
The color of Ivy's bedroom makes your eye color pop! Cute.
In the green room, keep the bottom green because it's beautiful and do white above, put some pretty sheer curtains up.
Great idea!!
Kristen, I love that look. I think as women who loves to make our homes beautiful, we have to go through change. I love it and I can't wait to see what else your going to do.
Kristen, I like gallery walls too. I think you did a great job of picking out the new print for your feature wall. Sometimes when you have a busy life, it's nice to have a calming space for quiet and cozy times. Also, it's fun to change things up. Well done!
You look so cute with your pregnancy. I always enjoy your creativity. I loved the room before and I like your changes as well. I know I enjoy changing my home with the seasons. I would love a home like yours to decorate. It’s beautiful. I can’t believe you’ve already been there two years.
Gallery wall isn’t for everyone. I personally loved your wall. Either way, you always make it beautiful. ❤
Kristen, I rarely comment but always like and follow the content creators that inspire and speak to me. I too am from Nebraska, my parents are still there (west of Lincoln in a small community) and I moved to Arkansas exactly 20 years ago and still gravitate towards things that remind me of home (Platte River comment when looking at art, warmed my heart...I Love the simplicity of the Platte). I grew up in the family business, (parents were antique auctioneers and collectors) and I too have a house filled with ALL kinds of antiques (from many eras and styles, victorian, primitive, crocks, etc). I love your style as it is very similar to mine. Like you, I constantly change things up and lately, I too seek more simplicity but struggle because I LOOOOOVE all my old things! Keep doing you and share yourself with us. I admire you for putting content together and sharing it with us. Those who comment what you should and should not be doing----Ignore them. The creative design process is a deeply personal thing and you and only you get to decide what speaks to your heart. Thanks for sharing your vulnerability with us.
Thank you for sharing scripture in your videos, Kristen. Doesn't matter what you do it always turns out beautiful. Dont worry about other people's opinions. Its your home, your choice.
First time listening to your channel. I love how you incorporate scripture in your video. That is awesome!!! Thank you!!
Love the single painting over the couch!! The plant balances it very nicely!! Great job on the lamp & pot!!🥰
Love how the lamps turned out! I have to admit that I was so sad to see your gallery wall go. It was my favorite spot in your house. It added so much character. I’ve directed friends to it as an example.
Whatever you do is beautiful though.💛
When you started, I was like…”Oh no! Don’t take down the gallery wall!” But in the end, like always, it turned out beautiful! Any way you decide to decorate your home always turns out to be perfection! Love your home & your heart❤️
Kristen, I absolutely love how your lamp and vase came out! You did a fantastic job. Don't second guess your! If you love it then it's great! I love the new frames, the one over the fireplace looks great with it. The one over the couch is beautiful!! You did a great job. You've got this girl!!! 🥰❤️
Oh thank you!
I love your videos. You are so humble and engaging in your videos. I also love that you share scripture with us. 💕💕💕💕
I'm so glad!
I love your new look with one large painting versus the gallery wall. Sometimes less is more!
I actually like the way those empty frames look stacked together on your mantle.. the lamps look great 👍🏼
Look at how long your hair is getting! Your skin and hair are so healthy and glowing.
You paid a fair price and got 3 lovely frames you'll enjoy for many years. Love the one over the mantel, agree that horizontal is the way to go in the kitchen ( perhaps with a less moody picture?), and centering the large one over the couch gets my vote. You have a wonderful eye for decorating!
Thanks for the tips!
New to your channel. So love that you share your faith so clearly giving God the glory for your creativity. Your home is lovely. Great ideas.
I like the green room.
You could always put a Murphy bed in there and keep it as a library/office. 😊
Ivy will be fine in that room until she is big enough to go upstairs. All your daughters have very mature bedrooms.
You could decorate her room for now with old-world teddy bears with pink ribbons around their necks
The large print over the sofa looked great, but I loved your gallery wall. Your home is so beautiful. You have amazing taste when it comes to decorating.
Thank you so much!
Maybe wallpaper the top of the wall for the nursery and leave the bottom the moody green color. 💚
Kristen, for Ivy’s room you could keep the moody green for the bottom half and do a floral wallpaper for the top..🌺
Great video as usual!
I loved your gallery wall. It was gorgeous and inspired me to create one in my home. You have to do what you like in your home, but I will miss seeing that gallery wall.
The lamp and vase turned out beautifully.😊
Hi Kristen..sometimes I ask myself what is wrong with me and I decided I just like to change our house all the time. I had a gallery wall in my hall. I loved yours and actually loved mine but got tired of it and now there is nothing on that wall but the thermostat..lol. I decorate for every season which is not grown up. I have so many thrifted items I just want to use everything . Keep your pictures…you might want to do it again somewhere else. I can see wanting the nursery to be lighter. I am loving wall paper again, but my husband and I can do everything but wall paper , plus our house is old and walls not even. Whatever you do , you know it can be changed . My friends and my sister are minimalist ..I am not, but maybe simple would be nice. I love whatever you do, I like how your diy came out. You look beautiful ❤❤❤
Much better. Room looks bigger and calmer
Congratulations Kristen on your great accomplishment. I tell everyone about how wonderful you are! Continue to believe in yourself and your love for Jesus shines through everything let’s push for 1 million++ Love you dear.❤❤❤

As a rule, when the walls are dark, the furniture & drapes should be light colored.
It's a marriage of the 2.
(however, the bookcase is perfect, as it became part of the wall)
I don't know if you will see this now but when I first saw your home, I thought how odd you walk into the dining room instead of an entry hall or living room. Now, I think it is just the most adorable farmhouse I have ever seen, and if I built one, I would use your floorplan. I just live your kitchen too and did think for awhile make that back porch your formal dining and the dining room you now have a formal entry with round table in the middle holding a big flower vase and some books.
The original entry is our master closet!
Oh I didn't know that. Then who made the dining room the entry?@@KristenHoffman
Great job. Love the lamp the most. But the single large frame and photo look updated and less cluttered, and a good choice.
This is one of your very best videos I think. The new print looks stunning ❤ and the Bible verse segment was an encouragement
Thank you so much!
Everything turned out great. The picture over the couch looks so nice.
I learned over many years & layers of paint, to go with a light neutral color and bring in my color in accessories, art, even furniture and rugs. I'm getting old so it's easier to change those things, rather than paint 😂❤
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for sharing God’s Word……truly He uses your life to speak to others
You should paint that beautiful molding white
I just did my girls room marshmallow for the wall color above the chair rail and under a very very light pink. It’s so beautiful

Hi Kristen,
I love your home and how it’s decorated, however, I have to agree with you about the changes. I personally wouldn’t change anything but it’s your home and you need it to match your style. I have a gallery wall in our guest room and it is on two walls wrapping around the corner to make a cozy spot for the antique bed. Our guest have said they feel they are being hugged. I just counted and there are 30 some pieces of art, all vintage and thrifted.
I know that seems to be a lot but I just keep them here and enjoy them until I decorate another area of my home and then bring these items to another spot. It’s also fun to change art from room to room.
I loved the gallery wall, but it’s always fun to swap things around! If you can find a piece of foam core or 1/4 inch plywood you can make a baker board for your large print. Krysta Meeker has lots of tips for using the old frames! ❤
Center the picture with the couch and bring the tree over!
The lamp and vase turned out very nice.
My granddaughter’s name is Ivy. She just turned 21 on February 6th. I love the name ❤️
I LOL'd at your "emPHASIS/syLLABLE" for the church director.
Good call. That does certainly make a difference.
Love your home. Can I suggest maybe a mirror over the fireplace?! Break up the prints. And a couple of books under your lamp that you so beautifully repainted. Needs a little height. You a a joy to watch.
Great idea!!
I love the single photo vs the gallery! Great update, way to go! You should do a pregnancy update. I would love to hear how the girls reacted to the news.
A gallery wall can be as many pictures as you would like. I have always loved your style I thought the gallery wall was really interesting and it pulled you into the room. I think the vase and the lamp turned out great. Maybe putting the print on a backing board or a piece of MDF it will keep it tight in the frame.
💜 A BEAUTIFUL HOME FOR A BEAUTIFUL GIRL.
GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY.
IM HAPPY FOR YOU 💜
LEAVE THE GREEN AND JUST PAINT WHITE ABOUT 5 FT UP WITH TRIM...YOU WILL LOVE IT!
Oh my gosh the lamp you found is the exact lamp we had in our living room growing up. Seeing that made me emotional, brings back such great memories.
Love the living room refresh. To eliminate the wiggle of the canvas, you could try mounting it to foam core board. The earlier gallery wall was charming, but if you had wanted to keep it I would have recommended opening in it up a bit, with greater space between the pieces (and perhaps editing out a few!). And propping up the stacked empty frames on your fireplace looks fantastic…the frames alone are art, and bring a certain quietness to your space. Do you need to fill them?
Thanks for the tips!
Just lovely . It seems to suit you.
I'm always changing things around our house, so I think that moving things from other rooms and painting different colors just works.
Shopping my own house keeps me from spending too much money...lol
Have a blessed day 🙏
Love it all, you did a great job. love what you did with those pieces. God is so good.
I love a lot of pictures on the wall, it is very European...and yes, I agree that your baby bump is adorable
Wonderful inspiration & encouragement for all of us to "take in"! We're all skilled at something & we'll never find out what that skill is unless we get out there and try. The paint refresh on the lamp & crock turned out wonderfully well. I was a bit concerned with your decision to pain the crock, but it actually turned out to be perfect for that corner you were trying to brighten up. I, personally, love being creative in my home. Sometimes my project turns out great, sometimes not, but you just never know unless you try. Thank you for sharing with us!
Your DYI’s turned out great!! I know you do not like to do them, but every diy you do turns out great! Do more please!
Thank you so much!!
Lavender, pale periwinkle, mauve, Neapolitan colors.
💜🤍🌸🤎
I hope one day to at least have one sheet set from Brooke Linen . Can’t afford them now .
I love how you're not afraid to change up your style and leaning into the more organic vintage look! LOVE!! And your bump is adorable!
“God wants to put your talents to use”, needed to hear this today, thank you & blessings to you & your family.
I just came in and sat down to relax and seen that you had a long video up and I was so excited! You are my favorite person on UA-cam. I love how real you are, how personable you feel. There are so many people that I watch on UA-cam and I feel terrible after I watch; like I'm not good enough, like my life isn't good enough because I am not able to do all of these extravagant things they do and spend all the money they do. I never feel that after watching your videos, I feel blessed. Thank you. ❤
Wow, thank you!
The lamp came out so beautiful!!

Always place art work to accentuate the placement of the furniture, like accessories to an outfit
Congratulations on your new baby. God bless your family
Living room change with new lamp and picture has a very calm warm feel . Love the way it turned out . Great job .❤️🎶🎶🎶
One of the things I love most about your channel is how you incorporate scripture into your everyday life. Your makeovers of the lamp and jug turned out beautiful! No matter how much we may like a look, it's always fun to switch things up after a while. That is the joy of owning a home, right? It looks refreshed! Nice job! 🌱🌱🌱
Kristen, your lamp and vessel look wonderful, great job!!!! ❤❤❤
Thanks so much! 😊
I love the large art piece over the couch with the plant back in the corner of the couch area, and I also love the gold frames! The lamp and vase turned out beautiful! It's also nice to be able to repurpose the art pieces in other places in your home.
Oh my goodness Kristen you are so beautiful and so amazing. You make me feel so much better with all the sadness in my life right now. Thank you for being so wonderful. Your spirit is so precious and amazing. ❤
I love it! The lamp and vase turned out beautiful.
I love the one big frame centered over the sofa. I love the frame over the mantle as well.
Ok, I do design, so here’s a freebie…. Center the frame over the couch, put the plant on the table if it’s too tall get a riser for the floor and place behind the side table. Your new looking lamp will be perfect on the table then.
Kristen you have such a sweet, humble & beautiful personality… you always make me smile & feel like what I have in my home is enough & you help me realize I can love my decor even if no one else does.
Thank you for being you! 🤗
I had to laugh when you said you wanted a more grown up sophisticated look to your home… I too feel the same way. I’m loving the changes you’re making… I loved the before but I think change is good for us women… especially when it comes to our homes… it makes us fall in love with our home all over again.
The lamp & vase turned out so good … I’ve wanted to try the technique to a vase I bought at goodwill a while back but was too afraid I’d mess it up…you sweet friend gave me the courage to go for it! Thank you for sharing your home, time & the words of Jesus with us.
Things are looking good Kristen! I like the way your pot and lamp turned out! Good job!
Thanks so much! 😊
Other than a few new pieces of furniture in my home, all my furniture is either old oak or walnut, my walls/trim/ceilings are a creamy white. My picture frames range from modern, thin black, brass or silver, raw edged wood, vintage wood and frameless glass- the pictures range from landscapes, seascapes, family (color and black and white), vintage posters and oil and acrylic paintings. I don’t crown anything like your gallery wall, and I change and rotate everything to freshen the look of a room, I even change out some pictures in the frames according to season. And I tend to the denim blue-navy and olive to forest green fabrics for upholstery and pillows and throws (curtains are a natural linen throughout with wood woven shades). There is nothing wrong with changing things up- we all mature and enter different seasons of our lives where we may be maximalists one season, minimalists another season, etc- and as we mature, our tastes get more refined as in what we like and what we keep as our base, like the blues in my home- that has been a base for all my 41 years as a homemaker. I will say, do not march to the beat of others as in trends, etc- keep to what speaks to your heart, your aesthetics and what works for your family.
The lamp looked prety. I think a mirror would look better than the print. Or hang up some of your own art work or family pictures.
Center it over the sofa and leave the empty space.❤
Gallery walls are tricky…I think the key is frames that are similar finishes. I’m not into minimal walls. I love full gallery walls if done well.
I really like the gallery wall.
Love the lamp and vase and the one picture over the couch.
Yes center the picture over the couch, and Move the fiddle Leaf. You can always move it.
Kristen! It’s turning out so beautiful!! I love the new print and the new placement of the fiddle fig! You did a great job with the vase and lamp diy! So pretty!!!!❤❤
Center it with the couch and bring the fig over ! 💯
I loved the gallery wall…I love minimalism too but that wall, I’m going to miss it
Girl! Im 74 and I knew that those lamp things came off but never thought about removing to fit the lamp shade…DUH,lol
I rarely comment but here goes. I love the large frame centered over the couch & maybe add 2 small pictures (with matching frames)on the other side. Just an idea 💡 Please stay true to yourself. ❤
Great idea!
I like it centered on the couch
