I take you through my week at my home and show you my rooms and ideas. I also share with you a home I came upon in my city where I found a picture of a handsome soldier on some steps.

It's rather ironic that you mentioned the memorial on your neighbors steps. Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending the funeral at Golden Gate National Cemetery in San Bruno, CA, of my friend's father, Ernest L. DeSoto, a Vietnam veteran who was MIA for 54 years. His remains were found two years ago and it has taken this long to properly excavate and identify the remains. It was a very complicated process which included DNA testing along with several visits to his family to gather information prior to confirming the discovery. As you can imagine the family's grieving process has gone on as long as he's been missing. Fortunately, his widow, Joyce who just turned 90 years old in May, was able to witness his return. She fought hard all these years to find him while being a mother and father to their three children. She's just as much a hero as he is. No one can say how long the grieving process should take. For this family it has taken 54 years. Thank you, Susan, for sharing your neighbor's memorial for her soldier. XO
oh this is so beautiful...2 heroes...reunited...love always find a way...thank you so much for sharing this love story..xo Susan
Hi Luvminchi, this is such a beautiful precious story.
I have a vintage car, a De Soto 1931 model.
I cherish it.
Wow! What a story of love! Thank you for telling us. ❤️
What a beautiful, caring post...thank you! I cannot imagine how one moves on in life with the not knowing. Grief and loss change us yet hopefully don't destroy us. Sounds like his widow is one of the strong ones who lived on, just differently.
Bless you for sharing your story. God keep this Vietnam soldier in his loving care. My oldest brother (who was movie star looking) was sent to Korea as a young man. He passed in his 50's. He was a peace maker and really never belonged in a fighting profession but he answered the call of duty. We are enjoying so much freedom because of what young people fought for. Happy 4th of July. Blessings galore.
Yes...that was comfort for this lady. It is in God's time. Everything under His sky is under His jurisdiction. Thank you!! God Bless.
In 2021 I lost my my 33 year old daughter, my 3 and 5 year old grandchildren and my 36 year old son in law, who I knew since he was 8 years old. I'm devastated still. I took a 13 week class through my church called "Grief Share." Everyone in that class had lost someone. I lost 3 someones. There is no time limit for grief and when we're ready, we don't move on, we move forward. Blessings to you Susan.
May you find peace.
I am 88 years old and tired of too much stuff. If I can get moved into small apt. I will decorate with the stuff I use on a daily basis instead of having cabinets full of stuff I might use someday or just special occasions.1 set of dishes, cookware, linens, a few books and simple but colorful furniture. Room for a radio, tape or CD player and a small TV. Hope it happens soon.❤
I can’t imagine anyone not liking your home or your taste. You have made every home you’ve had look amazing and this one is beautiful already after such short a time. It’s a gift you have. The garden looks wonderful already..you’ve worked so hard. Every week we see such improvements. I don’t have any folk art myself, haven’t seen any to buy to be honest, but it looks very original and eclectic in your home. Desi loves his new environment and it’s a joy to see. Lovely video Susan…very touching about the soldier….wonderful tribute to her loved one.🌸
I agree, her home looks like a magazine .
Oh Susan! I loved this so much. Yay to Folk Art👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I have a photo of my in-laws that hangs proudly on my wall, it has raised some eyebrows but I don’t care. They loved me like I was there own and loved my children madly. I will honor them for the rest of my life. I moved on when they died, but I keep their memory alive with that photo. It’s as if they’re smiling back at me saying ,” your doing a good job kid”.
Seriously? Not everybody likes the same thing and I am guessing she wouldn’t care much for downright rustic…raw moss covered wood, stone ….overgrown hedgerows…spiderwebs that embellished the outside windowpanes….I’m nauseated by man made glass and glitter anything ….you can’t imagine? Well my taste is nothing like hers…in fact I watch just to see what NOT to do….
@@Ladythyme oh what a shame you feel like this, everyone is different and it's nice to embrace all .
@@Ladythyme What a sad thing to say. She has lovely ideas and we're all unique in our taste. I hope you have a nice week.
I love your cat you just got..
And all your antique furniture... Your style speakers to me in such a way ...
What a sweet memorial on the steps of that woman's home. How precious is her love for family. A celebration of life is beautiful. I have a small memorial for my parents on my vanity and their portrait on the wall in the hallway. It honors them for all the love they gave me.
I cried just reading what you wrote about her steps...I do feel its the very best of our humanity when we honor and remember and never forget...my love to you! HAPPY 4th of JULY!!!Susan & Desi
You are such an inspiration!!! I love finding treasures when I go "thrifting"!!! Priscilla from WA state.
@@LittlePoet Happy 4th! Have fun! - Debra
I got read of my television a few years ago I don’t miss it more beautiful quiet time I discovered yutube only four years ago I constantly watch yu tube it’s so hard to pull away from my yutube screen time but I have learned alot on yutube and I find people are nicer cuzz they don’t know us ha
Grieving is forever it comes in wave’s birthdays Holidays yesterday I cried for my son his birthday is this month and I think of his birth and how happy I was he was so tiny my daddy called him peanut because he was no bigger than a peanut. I incorporated chickens and Roosters into my kitchen and throughout my home I love that you shared the shrine with us I salute this soldier for his service and sacrifice for all of us. Love 💕 and hugs 🤗 coming your ❤Susie
As a Gold Star Mom, I totally love and appreciate this beautiful ladies sweet memorial at her home. I have many displays throughout my home to my son. You are right Susan in saying that some people think they know when we should be done grieving, but we are all different. Some people are more comfortable being reflective with their own thoughts & memories and enjoy time and space to themselves after they have lost a loved one. Some people don't want to be alone with their thoughts and want other people around them all the time. But regardless, we all must find our "new normal" that is anything but normal. I, like the lady with the tribute to the military service of her loved one, also display a tribute to my son filled with patriotism and love. Every day is a Memorial Day for me having lost my son while serving our country, 17 years ago, that still feels like just a few days ago. I am not wallowing in grief, I am so thankful that I had my son for 20 years and I am blessed. I never want him forgotten or his sacrifice for all of us. He is always with me in my thoughts & in my heart. I carried him in my womb for 9 months, but I now carry him in my heart until one day when I will see him again. Love never dies and we all choose are own way how to continue feeling & celebrating that love daily. Thank you for sharing this beautiful little story of this loving tribute as we celebrate the greatest country in the world's birthday. So many have fought and died for that freedom. God bless the USA!
First: I want to thank your son for his most precious gift. His life. For us. I’m so sorry you lost him. And, thank you for saying what you did. I lost my husband three years ago. He served in Vietnam on a river patrol boat in the Navy. He was also exposed to Agent Orange. His death certificate (from the VA) attributes his death to Agent Orange. It showed itself throughout the years through illnesses, ending up in Pancreatic cancer and death. He was healthy otherwise, so when he returned home, he ultimately became a sheriff's deputy and served that way. He always wanted to make a difference and help people. I may have lost him three years ago, but it feels like it was yesterday. I miss that man so much. I loved him with all my heart. I can’t imagine dating or “finding” anyone else. But that’s just me. And that’s just my love for him. But I hear people talk about how others should let go and move on when they’re widowed or lose a child, their parents or their grandparents. I’m sorry if it bothers others that I can’t “get over” my husband's death, but I can’t do that. Love goes on. Love is the only thing that lasts forever. How people show their loss is different. Those people who want others to move on or get over it can do so when it’s their turn to deal with it, but I think they should keep their thoughts to themselves until that time comes. I’ll tell you what, though: I’m tired of hearing about it. I’ll say prayers for you and your son. Thank you again. ❤️
"Thank you, for sharing your stories. It's an honour & a privilege to be included. I hope God sends healing🕊️ LOVE ❤️, & comfort 🙏 your way. Bless you". 😢😢🌹
Thank You for your precious Don & Hero. I'm praying for You today. Much Love to You Always🥰
@@chewkie01 Thank you so much for your kind words and it is so nice to hear from someone else who understands as we find that "new normal" that is anything but normal. I will be praying for you and your husband too. Faith is what got me through all this and praying sustains me! God bless you!!
@@marinemom03 God bless you, too! I wish I knew you. I know we’d get along. Thank you so much for answering me. It was such a nice surprise. You take care, okay? You’ll always be in my prayers along with your wonderful son. ❤
I miss thrifting and you’ve inspired me to make it a priority because it brings me joy.
I have never been a trendy person, with clothes or decor.
I embrace what makes my eyes happy. I decorate my home for me.
I do try to make it tasteful.
Maps, clocks, and candles are things I enjoy a lot.
The house is lovely Susan! Seeing Desi in his yard fills me with joy!
I'm so happy for both of you.
If you have it...I don't want it. I love unique lil finds.
I absolutely love how you decorated your new home. It is so you, pretty, peaceful, not a cookie cutter decorating, and not over done.
So well said! I feel the same way. And I love learning, too! I love learning from others who do things so well; and Susan does just that!
Love from Scotland x
Your home is beautiful, Susan. Trends come and go but a welcoming and warm space never goes out of style. I love your curated style.❤
Perfectly said! ❤
❤❤❤
Years ago my home was filled with antique furniture. I refinished all of the pieces myself . I had sideboards desks tables dining table chairs. I lost it all in a house fire. I can never replace them again at this stage of my life . The pieces I had can’t even be found anymore . They had a story and so much character . Grief is all the love in our heart and why it hurts so much. We take them with us and although we move forward they remain with us on our journey.
“….things that impress me, not other people.” Yes!! Well said. I’m 65 (almost) and over the years I’ve ‘collected’ items for my home that are definitely unique unto me. And if I’m out and about and I see something that touches me then I’ll get it. But as I’ve gotten older I’ve found that I’m very selective on my purchases.
I got the biggest grin when you showed the clip of Desi and his little new friend one fence over!
Im so happy for both of you! Xxoo
Oh that Desi!!! He has so many friends!!!!! They just love him! Happy weekend to you! You are so kind! xo Susan & Desi
@@LittlePoet why do I find that not hard to believe? Who wouldn’t love that darling boy! He’s precious!
Happy weekend to both of you also. Xxoo
Love your taste you give me ideas thanks for flair and colors ❤️
You are glowing beauty and love and spread light and love! Thank you! Sending you and everyone reading this love and peace! 💕🙏🏻🌻
Don't have Folk Art but I love yours!
I like unique, too. A friend once told me that I have an eclectic taste in decorating. I agree with your thoughts about grief, too. You certainly give us a lot of food for thought. You seem so much happier since you have moved. What a positive role model you are for all of us! Thanks for everything, Susan!
I love folk art too!!
Susan, you are so talented in the way you film, edit, the music in your videos. I feel like I am watching a movie! I enjoy the conversation, tips. And just chatting about life in general! My God bless you and your new home ❤️ I have something exciting in my life right now! I live alone with my little dog Chloe:) my daughter has been a single mom for 7 years, she has met someone very special and they are getting married the end of August. I am planning to buy her current small home! It is in a nice neighborhood so I will be able to walk Chloe and live closer to my daughter as well! Life over 60 can be beautiful, I saw a quote on a sign at work that said “ Life doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful” ! That is so true 😊
Wow!! I am so happy for all that is coming your way. The best!!
I've always liked folk art. It does make me smile.
I don't believe in trends. I have thrift for years and decades; if it makes one happy it is terrific. Don't follow trends follow your heart! Love your channel Susan and Desi!!
True! So very true I love THRIFTING. I never worry about what people say when I have visitors most people say… Oh that’s so you! The color blue will be SPRINKLED throughout my home. That’s my birthstone color sapphire blue LOVE IT! Enjoying LIFE❤️😂❤️
Sorry no Folk art for me! Lol French, Shabby Chic and Cottage for me, I’m 75 and love girly and lots of roses 🥀. I love that the lady is remembering someone who was special in her life! Gods Love to you and Master Desi 🥰👵🏽❤️👍🏾
Your home is beautiful and welcoming everything a home should be.
I love that someone put the time and love into a shrine for the person who they lost. Do you ever stop missing a child? Your husband? Never. You shouldn't move on because they're forever a part of you. You should be proud of them and always honor their memory. I still go to Veterans' Day services and I'm damned proud of my father who was a three-war vet. He's been gone since 1997. A hundred years couldn't erase my pride and I have moved on. But, there's still a Dad shaped hole in my life. On another note, your house looks beautiful and I guess I'm trendy. I painted my kitchen blue 8 years ago. The rest of it might be trendy next year? Who knows? LOL I hope that Desi is sooo happy getting to play in his yard whenever he wants. No more waiting for a lead and trudging out through a parking lot or down a walkway. Good boyo. Love to you both xx
Grief does not have an expiration date.🤗♥🤗 Thank you for your lovely and thoughtful words.
My family room couch used to belong to my parents. It’s a 4 seater, it’s been reupholstered at least 4 times, but I love it! I found a photo of myself sitting on it when I was 10-11 and I’m 67now. It’s a well made couch. I can’t part with it!
Love that!
Maybe her tribute is to remind US the cost of our freedom. It's precious and worth fighting for!🗽🗽God Bless America! Land that I love.
Oh my gosh, Susan, I love that Desi has a lovely little friend right next door ❣️This is so lovely for him. He has such a pep in his step these days ❤
Oh desi seems to be so popular!!! Must be that little face of his!!! LOL...happy 4th of July to you!!!
Ooh, i just got to the end of the video. He's a stray? I hope s/he finds their way home 💓. Happy 4th of July to you, Susan 🇺🇸. I will raise a glass to you here in Ireland 🇮🇪
You have such a beautiful home, and you are such a lovely person. I’m really enjoying spending time with you. Too bad we’re not neighbors! I’ve never been one to follow trends…. I’ve never had the money to do that. So I acquire what makes me happy. I try to stick with ‘classic’ versions of things…. Be it furniture, art, clothing, etc…. so I enjoy it forever. Your discussion about grief is very timely, as I’ve been supporting a friend who is slowly losing their spouse. I have been in that situation too, and was literally told - only three days after burying my mom - that I need to “stop living in the past.” Can you imagine being so cruel?! Grief has no limits, and we each have our own path to take. Let’s love and support each other!
The sound of the rain is soothing! Love your folk art, and yes, the vase is beautiful on its own!
I love your love of life! I learn something new every time I listen to your videos.
Can we please just SEE more of Desi incorporated into your videos. Please..We love him so much! He's a Star TOO! 😉 🐶
OK! More Desi!!!
Glad you're enjoying your new home
Thank you!!
The beauty of you! And it is your home, your life and I am so happy that trifting is fun. My dear sister-in-law is the same way. Once, I never understood it, but now I truly see her house is furnished as if it is an extension on her and she is a beautiful 72 year old now and will always keep buying, replacing, updated and heading out the most incredible second hand store in her town in Connecticut.
There is SO much peace and tranquility the second you walk into her door! God Bless you Susan!!!
Your kindness is so touching and I appreciate you so much! Happy 4th of July!!! xxoo Susan & Desi
Perfectly said. I still like "big hair"😂😂😂
My home decor is thrifted, painted, colorful and not trendy.
PS, I love 🔵
And 🩷🩷 pink.
Minimalistic will never be a trend for me. Susan your house looks so warm and inviting. Well done 👏
Antique mirrors make a lovely gallery wall
Susan, I've never come across anyone who exemplifies beauty and love the way you do. The ways in which you share those two things with us bring comfort, joy, and instruction we can all incorporate into our own lives. You are a gift. Thank you for your beautiful channel.
I was always love of the color greens and white . I had white and green couch for years and a pair of green chairs, in dinning area had chairs with green veletal coushion but as the years went by I did change my style a few time sense I am 77 years old. I sold my house 13 months ago and move and I pick different shades of blue s beige and grays and I am liking it. Only a few of my thing from my old home to my new home. I am glad I did this it was hard move and it made my heart feel good to remake this place I now will call home who sayys you can be this old and not move and make it yours is so very wrong it;s about what make your happy and smile and love where you are in this stage of life. I content and feel great. God has been very good to me in this life. I feel bless .
Desi is such a joy to watch - he’s one of the best things to bloom in your beautiful garden!
He's an absolute charmer!! ❤
I love him so much too.
So wonderful to see the new little spring in his small legs! 😊 ❤❤
My oldest sister decorates her home with different things she purchased from thrift stores. Her home is very eclectic. She lives in Michigan on a corner lot where she can see the bay. Her house is a Victorian home that makes me feel so welcome. She is that house if you know what I mean.
Happy to see you tonight. You always have such wonderful new ideas. Your home is looking fabulous, it’s beautiful, warm and inviting. Your backyard is looking so pretty already. Love to you and Desi! ❤️
Susan, there are no rules when it's your house. I love interior design. So much so I have taken classes. Your house is cheerful. Cozy. And anyone would feel welcome. I think you've done a nice blend of pieces. Does it follow every design rule? Probably not. Each piece has it's own beauty and interest. Thank you for inviting us into your home.
Having been very lucky in life with a husband that was a very successful Alpha guy with a heart of gold that I was married to for 44 years before he left me for the other side of life, he gave me the resources to travel, move, build numerous big houses so since the early 70's I've collected a wide range of "antiques" which could almost all be called "folk art" today. Paintings, vintage furniture from different eras, pottery, hooked rugs, quilts, woven pieces, hand painted animals, creatures big and small, beautiful teapots/teacups, figurines, dishes and the like. Whatever caught my eye at the time when we'd go "antiquing" together a million times for amusement! All items filled with MEMORIES of him wrapped in each and every item that have been a part of my life since almost the moment I met him and his loving generous nature and love he had for me and my interests.
I've been told by a few friends (?) that I have too much STUFF, it would drive them crazy and I should get rid of all of it and move into a tiny house and forget those wonderful years I had with a man that was the "love of my life" and you know what I tell them "not going to happen" and then I think quietly "I'll live with this stuff until the day I die!" I also think silently to myself "none of your business what I do with my life, time or what I live with so mind your own business and leave me to live my life the way I see fit!"
Buy what you love, can afford and make life your own! Never listen to anyone else's ideas of what you should do because they're not YOU!
Kudos to you!!! Well said!!!❤❤❤
Unless you have known deep love, you will never know deep grief. I’m still mourning.
As someone who has lost my precious brother in a war I think her tribute is absolutely beautiful. My condo is decorated in blues, grey blue and red. I love it. Your home is gorgeous, Susan.❤️🇨🇦🇺🇸🪖
Susan you could be a professional interior decorator! Your new home is beautiful!
There is no timeline for grief. I agree with you, no one has the right to tell us its time to move on! I'm not sure if it's a trend but I love to have candles burning/faux candles throughout my home. Your home is beautifully decorated!
Perhaps she has moved on but is paying her respect for his service this 4th of July. We are free because of men like him.❤
@@carolwaite4343 I 100% agree! It is so touching...
@@carolwaite4343 AMEN!!
Yes Amen
I can’t help from thinking the person saying “ move on” aren’t appreciative of the sacrifices we Military families make for their FREEDOM 🇺🇸
What really makes me happy is you, Sweet Lady!
I love when I'm listening to you.
Your so heart warming 💓 💖
I love your back yard.
Yes you what know it in a couple of years.
Hydrangea's is something I think of when I think of you.
Will you be planting some in your back yard?
Lovely video! The memorial with the photo of the soldier on the porch touched my heart deeply. So many have served our country, and I am grateful for them, both living and deceased. I am grateful for the freedom I have experienced because of those who served. I think your video was about way more than decorating. 😘 I enjoy seeing your new home and always Desi. I'm so happy for you both!
I like the idea of making a listening room in my sunroom.
Your home looks cozy and comfortable. Decorate with what makes you happy, not trendy. Enjoy your week Susan and Desi!
I think your home reflects you Susan. Very nice.
I used to live in MI, but have since moved. Our home holds no trends, just displays our love for local artists and our own art. Yes, grief comes in all sorts of ways, just as it leaves. Everyone deserves to express it on a very deep and personal level. Have a great week you two!😁
Oh I so agree with you....it's none of my business...its my business to be their friend. Love to you! Susan
Beautiful rain. Lovely to see your garden growing.
Susan , I love your sensitive nature , it’s the respect for creative ways to express our place on our individual journeys I also am an artist and decorate by creating a desired atmosphere in my home , but separate from that , in each room and the purpose for each room . When people come to visit , they’re visiting me , they know what they’re getting before they come , a different expression of me extended to them that hopefully makes them feel welcome .
Love that!
I just love the way you look at life, your home looks amazing. Desi looks so happy.
Your home is lovely! The folk art pieces made me smile. I like the idea of a “listening room” and would maybe add a wind chime. What a beautiful yard you have. Do you have a hummingbird feeder somewhere in the yard ? I can imagine what it must feel like having a cup of coffee in your kitchen or sitting on the bench outside. Everything looks so cozy , peaceful and calm. Your video made my day. You radiate beauty and kindness right from your heart. ❤️
Anyone who does not like someone else's decor does not understand individual style. That is unfortunate. I love your style because you reflect who you are, and that comes from your heart. : ) God bless you and Desi. I have not followed trends since I was in 7th grade.
Susan,
You are a highly sensitive person. This world needs more of YOU!
Thank you for being you, I and many more, love you for being real!
I have many gardens and one is a memorial to my husband. I have a concrete bench with many flowers in a quiet place in my years. I talk to him there. I was at a psychic last week and he came through and commented on the garden, I was so pleased. I feel close to him when I am there
I don’t know, I just love falling in love with what I like... that feels good to me. When I reflect who I am others I attract are there to just enjoy. This feel good to me. ❤
Those cats in a boat are great. You have an eye girl ! Love thise.
No to Target!
Thanks for sharing. Yes your home is lovely and unique.
The neighbor may just want to show that as part of her pride and patriotic spirit. It is wonderful to see. ❤️
Happy 4th! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🎇💥🙏
Your kitties in a boat are adorable. I tend to favor cats although I love all animals so I have lots of cat stuff. Maybe you can find a cat stake for your garden. It is a cat on a bicycle peddling his little paws away. The wheels spin in the wind. It is adorable. They are in novelty catalogues. Hope you put a little shed out there for Desi. Oh, he is so adorable. Great idea about a room for listening. I think you can still find old radio shows you can listen to. You be you - you have old soul. Remember, per the psychology experts, people transfer their own thinking onto others so telling someone's to move on is something they are dealing with. Krishnamurti's book explains it all. He was filled with wisdom. Enjoy your new home. Happy 4th. Of July.
Yes, yes, yes to thrifting! I have been doing it for over 40 years! I love this ‘listening room’ idea! Love you, Susan!
Love Folk Art.
I so agree with decorating with unique things, I pretty much only buy thrift, yard sale. So much more interesting than manufactured decor. Thank you for this video and loved your necklace!
I started out with what I could afford and made crafts and florals to sell. Then, I started making window treatments. In 2009, people had to cut out unnecessary custom-made things, so that put an end to that business. I still sew smaller home decor...pillows,
table linens,bedroom decor..anything to sew.
I love gardening and have done some for people. I lost my 2 younger siblings and my Mom...all in 9 months in 2021 and 2022. I planted flowers they all liked and the colors they liked as a memorable enjoyment for me, too.
Your home is decorated so beautiful, Susan. I love how you are able to find unique pieces including your art work at thrift stores. You are right…you can’t find such wonderful pieces at Target, Lazy Boy or any other retail store….only while thrifting. And sweet Desi…he seems to be so happy at his new home. I adore him so much and I could squeeze him and kiss him!
I have memories of my grandfather sitting listening to his tall radio with a cigar in his mouth … most time not lit … green leather chair with ottoman … resting from a day of farm work! I laugh when they say … walk 10,000 steps a day… as I am sure my grandfather walked way more on his farm!
I am drawn to items I have found in Antique Stores that my Grandmother or my Mother had … or something I saw in my Mother’s friend house or their kitchen … Fiesta dishes … the Harlequin coffee cups I would see hanging in my Mother’s friends kitchen … all the different colors hanging on hooks in her glassed white cabinet! Just beautiful!
🌈🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The porch shrine with the navy memorial is very touching. Loved your take on the decor trends.
I LOVE HOW YOU DECORATE BECAUSE IT IS UNIQUE! You find lovely things over time and add them in beautifully! I would love to go along shopping with you ; would be so much fun! Thank you for sharing and taking us along! Sooooo happy for you in your gorgeous new home!👏👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I am a big thrifting gal. I love the trend of not following a trend. If you choose colors, pieces of furniture and decor that you love, it will always be in style. I can't wait to get in my own home and decorate it. One day, it will happen.
I love the colored Christmas lights around my kitchen window. I'm adding a bigger ledge to put small flower pots and small, whimsical creations and gifts from friends.
You've made your house a home in a very short amount of time. That takes real talent. It's cozy and inviting, yet has style and pizzazz. I love it.
You’re so right! It does take real talent. And Susan definitely has the talent for it. I wish she posted more often. She inspires me and I need that these days. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I never needed help before. It just happened. It flowed. Praying that it comes back. I think part of it is heart problems and open heart surgery. It takes a lot of effort now that it didn’t take before, darn it.
Agreed 100%! So cozy and inviting! Who wouldn't want to visit!
Desi's made a new friend. Most folk art is not my style, but I can see the beauty in it and I understand why it appeals to so many. You are so right that everyone grieves in their own way and in their own time. Would you please give that handsome little gangsta Desi a hug from me?
Yes I will..Desi LOVES hugs!
I have been following your postings for quite a while and this has been one of my most favorite ones..Especialy the part about grieving, and that one grieves in their own way and time. I will never understand those people who get so upset over something that has nothing to do with them or truthfully any of their business..I love the fact that you always remain faithful to your beliefs whether others agree or not.
I so enjoy and always look forward to your posts ..Much happiness to you always...
I fell down and I got a concussion so I missed this video and I certainly appreciate this video Susan. You and Desi are the perfect place now…..I love you and Desi ❤
Susan, you have bloomed where you’ve been planted in each place you’ve made into a real home. !🌹🌻🌷🌺💐🌼 I’ve enjoyed them all, but am particularly happy for you in your new house, garden, and neighborhood.
Yes, Susan, a garden, no matter the size, gives such joy!
Hold on just a darn minute… I love the farmhouse style. 😂
I confess I am a thriftaholic but I have never seen shops as good as the ones you have, Susan. I am saving for my trip to Michigan! 😘👍🏼🇨🇦
I invite you to Vancouver Island, you’ll have much fun thrifting and the wonderful people you meet along the way. ❤
I grew up in Ohio. This reminds me so much of my childhood street.
Marlene peters- i style with dollies, books,plants,pictures. Just anything i like. So cozy and earm.

I would take flowers & put it on the steps where this soldier picture and tell him Thank You For your Service Sir
I love the way you decorated your home. Yes, I like folk art because it's different, it's a conversation piece. I love how that neighbor honours her loved one. We should never forget the sacrifice of our veterans. Have a great week 😊
You have the ability to always bring tears to my eyes every time you tell these love stories in a good way.
You’re such heart touching story teller. Which reminds me I have a picture of a former boyfriend on a table in my living room among other pictures.
I have had two or three boyfriends since I broke up with that former boyfriend and I still haven’t gotten rid of his picture. Why because I keep holding onto to his picture because I know I’ll never love that way again,even though we’ve broken up. He was kindhearted with a dry sense of humor, but he knew when I was sad and needed to be comforted and I meant the world to him. Nobody has ever made me feel that special since him. So maybe when somebody comes along and made me feel that special I may consider moving on but as now nobody. Take care God bless you and Desi and thank you for your great story telling-:))❤️😀👍
One of my special things I do is I’ve made each room different so whatever mood I’m in I can pick a place to go be at peace. My bedroom is a cozy cabin theme with battery timer tea lights lanterns and cabin decor, my livingroom is oil paintings I have thrifted. All beautiful flowers of some kind and color, my kitchen is vintage thrifted items. And so on. I love it all. Your new place is amazing. I love so many things about it
Its wonderful to be unique. I love your home.. I feel like if I walked in right now it would make me feel at home and cozy. Who wants to be like everyone else. You do you sweet lady.
Such a beautiful video Susan. Your home looks just beautiful!! . I love the sound of rain on a tin roof. Brings back good memories of my childhood. I for sure love folk art, and I’m wondering with all the kitties, if there might be room for a furry kitten in yours and Desi’s life. If one shows up at your door, you’ll know it’s for sure ;) My new favorite trend for decorating in the new place I’m in is just thrifting, and waiting for the perfect piece to come along. I used to be in such a hurry to fill up a space with decor. I want only a few pieces now that I’m older, and a more personally curated space that’s easy for me to care for and keep clean, and also beautiful to me, and hopefully peaceful, and beautiful for others to enjoy. Kisses and belly rubs, and snacks for Mr. Desi please. 🥰❤👏🏼🐶
I live in a medium town…. Grew up in small town and it was idyllic. I love where I live now also. Just right for me
Well, I'm not sure "clutter" is trending, but that's what I have. My thrift has 4 Eastlake dinning chairs that I'd love to have, but have no room for them. But, I'm working on it!
We care what others think, as you said. But only to a point, because not everyone likes the same things. Isn’t that great? I want my home to reflect my preferences and interests, not a passing trend. My colors never, ever changes! Isn’t that wonderful? What having a certain , ongoing, never really changing color pallet is that you can move things around!
Often I can be cynical due to some hard knocks in my past and little patience left. But I thank God every time I see you in this home. Blessings really do happen.🙌🏻I am humbled.
You are truly an inspiration to me. I am 61 and love art books, and bios of poets and writers, lots of plants, big art, and love folk art as well. I have a mexican pottery bird that I thrifted like yours thst I thrifted a while back. Whatever pleases, is what goes. Your home is beautiful!❤
I love folk art. The pieces you have in your home are so much fun.
The shrine your neighbour built for her loved one is beautiful and touching, hopefully brings her a sense of peace.
Your home looks great, so glad Desi has a yard to explore and play in.
You are on the right path~~~your home is beautiful💚💚💚💚💚💚 enjoy💚
Thank you! 🤗
@@LittlePoet God’s Blessings Susan💚🇺🇸💚💚🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Happy Freedom Day❗️
In our small town of 8,000 people there isn't much in our single little thrift shop....but that doesn't mean that once in a while a gem shows up. My trend is red upcycled furniture (old throwbacks from a bye-gone era. I'm loving my home just as I love yours Susan. I just moved into my new apartment and am busy re-organzing my old things and mixing them up anew. What a joy to do that but I vow, never do I want to move again. What a job. Love your videos. Keep them coming.
Susan Your house looks so beautiful, I do like folk Art and I Love Vintage I have many vintage Pieces or could they be considered Antique I have 2 Drop Leaf Farm Kitchen tables that I cherish I am not a target shopper very little home goods and some things my Mom gave me that I cherish....I Love on the screen on the bottom right the little picture of Desi he is the King of his yard....The Shrine you mentioned sounds very Loving how do we ever totally move on when we lose someone we Love so much we don't move on we just get used to it without them the best we can....
