I had a house from 1720. The only reason I left it was that it was toooo dark, and starting to depress me. I look back at pictures now and just sigh......oh well
Thankyou for showing us your beautiful new home. Yes, please take your time to settle in and tackle jobs. Your health is more important than anything else- don’t worry- your viewers will be patient and understanding. And again, congrats on your beautiful new home, Sugarwood!😊❤️
So glad you are pacing yourself. Yes, I’m certain I’m not the only one anxiously awaiting videos but I am also patient! Love the crunchy walk at the end 😊!
There’s nothing better than a beautiful fall day when the skies are blue and the trees are beginning to show their colors. So enjoy your videos. They are informative and your voice is so calming. I look forward to all your new adventures.
I love how you’re taking us along on your journey of getting your home ready for the changing seasons and fixing some things that needed some repair, etc. Your neighborhood is so amazing-I’m sure your walks with your darling pooch fill you with such inspiration, too. I love seeing the fires in your fireplace and stove. They feel so much like Fall to me.
I couldn't wait to see what you have done....It seems like there is so much to do to get it the way you want it....I love to see the progress you are making.
Linda, you are a woman of incredible talent & capabilities! The tasks you've accomplished are just amazing! It is a great pleasure for this Westerner (SW Idaho) to spend time with you in the NE , especially in your beautiful autumn season. Thank you for filming during such a very busy period in your life.🍁🌿🍂🍃🌾🤗
It is so good to have you back. I’ve missed your videos. This is such a beautiful place. I agree the doors look much better with those inserts. You give us such good useful information. Looking forward to your next video. 😊🍂🌼🐿
It was worth the wait. We realize how much work is involved with moving / selling / cleaning / renovating. Take your time and thanks for taking us along on the journey with you. Happy October!!
So glad you’re back Linda and obviously settling in well into your new home. As an Australian of Dutch parents it’s so nice to see how you live your life.
Yay finally a video 😊 thank you Linda. The house is starting to look like you. The yard is coming along nice. Love the walk with the fall leaves 🍁. Wish I was there.
So nice to hear from you again….I’m sure we all missed your wonderful videos! One thing you will love about living in the Monadnock region is the lovely peace and quiet. We are also in the same boat as you are, as we work daily on our home and the land that we are so fortunate to have. My husband wants everything done yesterday, but I know that good things will come to those who persevere! Good luck and thanks again for sharing!
My husband and I JUST NOW got back to Missouri from a fall leaf viewing excursion in Ohio, New York, Vermont, Massachusetts, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and the Virginias. I can definitely see why there are so many in love with your area. Gray skies the whole way, but that really set off the vibrant fall foliage. Bless you on your homemaking adventure! I hope your shoulder is not aching too badly.
So good to see you and see what's going on for you. Willow look's happy to be out and about checking out the new surroundings. This is really a beautiful place and will be soooo much better as you do your magic on it. Looking forward to watching the progress 💗
I am so happy for you Linda!!!! This home is beautiful and so much potential for your special touch! I agree with everything you want to do and will be doing. You never make a bad decision on decorating! You have the eye! Enjoy those many "simple pleasures"! Amen!!!! 😊❤🍂🍁🌿
How nice to see you back online, Linda ! Happy to see that you're settling in nicely in your new home. Can't wait to see your projects. Enjoy the journey.
What a beautiful home! I look forward to your next video and I agree... nice light colors will be absolutely gorgeous for this property. Please don't keep us waiting too long for the next video, even if its just you puttering around. I look forward to it!
I love your channel, Linda. I started watching you last year after spending time in Maine last summer. I love New England and miss visiting the area. You give a little of that back to me. You motivate me to do more things around my Virginia home. I can’t wait to see all the decorating, cooking, tours, gardening and entertaining you do at Sugarwood. We truly are Kindred Spirits. Keep it coming, girlfriend.
Oh Linda! It is so good to hear from you. I can only imagine how busy you’ve been especially with the holiday and cold seasons coming. Blessings to you and you family.
Thank you! It’s so nice to see your house and what you’re doing with it. My Mum and I watched and enjoyed it. Looks beautiful! Love that fireplace in the dining room! And those lights in the stone wall are very cool. Fun!
Maybe I lead a boring life but I enjoy anything you video. I love your voice, so I just listen and watch. So looking forward to see what you do inside and out with the house. Glad you're back.🍂🍁🎃
Missed you, Linda.! You’re so right, the glass and wood inserts truly transform those doors. Simply lovely. Cannot wait to see what’s to come! You have so much to work with; how exciting .
Ah. How lovely!! I’ve missed visiting through your videos! Congratulations on the move. And thank you for sharing yet another beautiful home with us. ❤️

Missed you! Missed you! Always kept looking but only clicked on the right site today - 8/10! Everything is shaping up so nicely! Lots of projects! Thanks for the tip on how to cut the hydrangeas and how to repair that step, I truly appreciate how thorough you are with the repairs. I look forward to being with you as you and Ben go along. Fall and Christmas are my favorite times of the year. I'm from N.J. but now live in CA and I miss these special holidays East Coast style. God bless you! Patricia
Lovely new home. I have no doubt, with your excellent taste, you’ll make it just gorgeous. Looking forward to coming along on your journey. I just moved a year ago, so I know how you want to make things your own. It’s a fun process.
It is beautiful and I can definitely see why you love it. I love watching your projects. The pops of decor love to see. Looking forward to this journey you want to share. Thank you.
You may discover in Sugarwood's history that like many Colonial houses clapboard was featured in the front of the house with less expensive siding (shingle, barnboard) in the back (or out of view) in an effort to save on material costs. The mixed siding can add interest, too. Maybe consider power washing the existing wood first to see if the lighter wood gives you a less rustic look. Look forward to your Thanksgiving and Christmas videos. Best wishes from CT.
Hello Linda your videos bring me such a sense of comfort and peace. Thank you
Light and bright is JUST what a house of this type needs!
I had a house from 1720. The only reason I left it was that it was toooo dark, and starting to depress me. I look back at pictures now and just sigh......oh well
