Those window treatments will look best as close to the ceiling as possible. Recommend removing long panel and keep the jabot to the wall side lon both windows. You could use the long panels in a new configuration on your sink window, especially for winter. Give Williw a hug for me and I hope she has a full recovery.
Exactly what my response was going to be concerning the window treatment. 🙂
Linda, would you also be using the matching window treatment on the other windows in the room or did you intend to leave them as is?
I agree. More open toward the fireplace. I don't mind the windows without a treatment. Whatever Linda does will be very near perfect. 😊
Yes, I agree hang long two panels from ceiling perhaps a solid color curtain to compliment the window seat. I hope Willow feels better real soon.
I agree!
My thoughts exactly!
The fabric of the window treatments is a wonderful complement to the Queen Bess portrait, but honestly, I love the naked windows!
I love your garden stick mystery! For October, would you consider a video where you chat with us either about some of the ghostly happenings you’ve had throughout your life, or even share stories from friends of yours? In past videos you’ve mentioned that friends of yours have lived in haunted houses,and I’ve always wanted to know more about that. With New England being so old and full of history, it’s the perfect time of year to hear those stories.❤
I can do that! Did you see my Ghost video from last year where I shared a lot about our previous house?
@@newenglandfinelivingI did! I loved that video, and wanted to hear more 😂😍👻
That is a great idea! I’d love to sit out on my deck with a cozy blanket, cup of coffee/tea and listen to the stories Linda has experienced!
Love the corn husk apple black eyed Susan pod swag. You are so creative and I'm a good copier 😂so yay for me . I still love the leaves one from years ago and I thank you for all the great things I've learned from you 🤗 now about the window treatment. .I really liked it the way it was . put the long part on the left side of the left window and the long part on the right side of the right window it is like a frame. 2nd choice make the long panel like the other side of the panel that way it would stay balanced on each side of each window treatment. The colors are great and what ever you decide will be beautiful ❤️
@@newenglandfineliving ooooo how fun! Could you possibly share the link?
Every week I am grateful you take the time to share your world with all of us. Your time and care you put into each video is very much appreciated! Thank Ben as well for his patience each week.
i love the window treatments! I think having a seamstress shorten and make a matching jabot would look wonderful!.
The window treatment is so pretty. Personally, I would like a jabot on both sides of the drapery treatment rather than the longer hanging drape material on the one side.
Loved seeing this video especially the Royal Mail plates. My mother in law, who died recently at 103 years old, had these dinner plates, and bowls and sandwich plates for many, many years. My sister in law now has them so they will stay in the family for many years, I hope.
The window treatments match queen bees dress. I like them.
I am pausing the video just to say how much I love the window treatments without the panel. The other way just looks so beautiful with the tassels framing the top of the window, letting in more light and views of your gorgeous yard and gardens outside!! Can't wait to receive my fall box. I will now continue the video! Have a great week!! 🧡
I pause frequently . There is so much to take in . Plenty of great design ideas 💡 to absorb and remember ( hopefully ) .
Enjoyed your video today, Linda!! I love the fabric that you picked for the window treatments - I like the look without the panel. I think it will look cozy and not heavy - also raising the valance higher towards the ceiling is a great decorating tip! Have a wonderful week!
I am so delighted for your update on Willow. She is a treasure to be sure and I hope you enjoy many more happy years together!
Good morning beloved, just a thought… possibly whatever darling moved the bamboo stick, is what Willow is sensing and nervous about the woods. NOT meaning anything dark or negative in any way, just different than what she’s used to.
Love everything in this video, Linda! You have a beautiful home, garden and view of the surrounding country mountain landscape.
I love to dry hydrangeas. I used them in one of my Christmas trees and in my mantel display.
Yes to the valences!!!!! So glad your placing them higher. Long panel on outside looks best. Your home is delightful!
Definitely higher.
I love your videos. I look forward to them weekly. I love the music. Today I’m getting The Holiday vibes. Enjoy the day.
Yay! Thank you!
So love having my Sundays with you. Good to see Willow up and about more. hugs. As for the windows, I love the openness and the light coming through. When some have mentioned taking the long part off , putting the jabot up by the ceiling so it looks like your are framing the whole area.......nice idea, the material does center Queen Bess, nice. cozy for winter.......might take them off for spring, summer. Can't wait to see what you do it will be beautiful as always. Have a wonderful week. Thank you for sharing with all of us.
Good morning from Ireland, coffee ready and a lovely sit down to watch and listen to Linda.❤
As for the bamboo stick...try leaving something special, maybe colorful glass beads or a necklace you don't want any more, out by where the stick is. See if it disappears over time. Another alternative is to put it on the stone wall by the edge of the forest. If your gift isn't taken, try something else and see what happens. I live in the mountains of VT and a lot goes on here. 💗 Blessings to you and your whole family!
@@gail-elizabethengland7853 I think your mind and mine may have gone in the same direction!🙂
We just bought the same fire pit in the small size yesterday and used it last night. We live in the country and have two big fire pits in the trees behind the house but this little guy is great for bringing along anywhere you want. We put it on the grass at the front of the house and not one blade of grass was damaged as advertised. It really is a very nice compact fire pit and you don't smell like a smokey mess.
I love the windows with no window treatments. Your windows are beautiful and so is your view of your garden. 😊
Love the dried apple/corn husk bell pull. It's gorgeous and so well done. You celebrate each season beautifully!
Love the valance without the panel. Maybe use panels modified
above the kitchen sink area.
Good morning Linda. I am suspecting pesky crows moved that stick. We have tons of crows here in the NC mountains and they are pranksters for sure! Probably trying to steal it but underestimated how long it was! Ha ha! Would have been funny to watch. Happy fall! Joanne.
Agree- We have a ton of huge birds in our area s well.
Hi Linda. For lemongrass, we’d wrap them in a reusable fabric grocery bag and keep them in the freezer for when we need to use them for cooking, hot bath or steam. We also mince them and freeze wrap them in small portions individually and use them for lemongrass chicken or pork.
Sometimes bears get curious about things and will play/investigate with them. We had a bear remove a flag on a short pole mounted to the side of the house and leave it on the ground.Guess the bear was just curoius about that odd thing hanging on the house so he/she pulled it out of the holder to look at it. You have vegetables and other goodies in your lovely garden which would attract a bear as well.
Linda, regarding curtains in Kitchen / breakfast room: ALL windows in both rooms should have the swags, with bamboo or half window plantation blinds with jabots or not. The jabots on the sample you showed, the outside wing needs to be broght in closer with just tacking it so that it is parralle with the header it falls from. Love the fabric. Yes higher up the wall for hanging works best. Hope this helps. Do show the other fabric curtains you have that you don't have a place to use -- yet.
Harvesting from your lovely garden has motivated me to restart mine next spring. I forgot how much fun it was finding vegetables ready to pick, and trying new recipes. Thank you, Linda, for sharing!
Wonderful! Thank you for joining me today!
I loved the window treatments and think my preference would be without the side panel but will be beautiful whatever you decide. Makes your room so nice and warm feeling. loved this mornings video.
You really are so productive and creative.
Hi, I always enjoy your videos. Thank you for taking the time to share what you are doing ❤
Hi Linda, your window treatments are lovely adding softness to the room plus they will cut down the any echo like you said. I’ve
tried with and without treatments and the treatments especially in
the Winter look cozy a finishing touch all year. 💯
I love the fabric on the window treatments… I think they add a coziness to your kitchen!
Oh Linda, this was all so delightful. I love your curtains and agree with you that they help cozy up a room. It seems lots of people don't think the use of curtains are as important as once thought. We just moved and there are plantation-style blinds in every room. I don't think the past owners ever used curtains b/c it looks like no holes have ever been in the walls. But that's going to change shortly with me adding curtains in all the rooms. I just added a vintage Waverly valance with tassels to my kitchen window and will finish it off with some cafe curtains. It already makes a huge difference in the feel of the space. Thanks again for sharing this relaxed meandering around your home/property. It's always so fun! 🤎🍁🍂🍁🤎
So glad Willow is doing well ❤
Those window treatments are so pretty. I also am going window treatment free so far in our kitchen and sunroom and we are loving the look and light
Love the curtains! Warms it up so much!
Hi Linda! Your channel is my absolute favorite! The window treatments for the windows above the window seats are beautiful. 🌸🌼🌺
I am in the minority, I like the the windows without the window treatment. It blocks the view. The fabric is lovely, as is your home. I look forward to seeing your videos. ❤
I’m leaning towards without myself after watching the video. I have other rooms I can put window treatments in.
Love the window treatments, the fabric colors take my eye to the Queen Bess portrait, beautiful flow! TY for another great video ❤.
I love the fabric in the draperies! I love how it brings the color out of the Queen portrait over fireplace. I would hang drapery,with only one side swag on each outside of window. I think it frames the fireplace differently. I have had so many changes over the years with my colonial windows. The Swag,has always been a favorite!
Solo has a diverter to help warm people around the fire. Every year we get a new accessory. I bought a small Solo for a church in Baltimore right before the bridge was hit. I bought the surround so no one would be burned by the Solo sides. There are S’mores tools and a grill that can be used with the Solo to burn the yard waste. I have had mine for years.
Friendly village are the dishes that I use for every day. I just love them.
I like the window treatments without the long panel only the jabot So pretty
I love very much your curtain. It's gorgeous! Those colors are fabulous and warm the ambiance, it's exquisite and so French. Even it's fine with no curtains, I really prefer with. It's like a final touch with great taste. 💖
Linda,
Not sure the best place to leave this for you.
I received my fall box yesterday. What a delight! I was so excited about all of the items inside. You curated them so beautifully. I won't be more specific so I won't ruin it for anyone else.
I just wanted to send my sincere thanks for all of the time and attention you put into this lovely fall surprise.
Warmest regards.
I am so glad you like it! I will be sharing the contents here soon, so the secret will be out. Thank you for not spoiling it for those who have not gotten or opened theirs yet!
Both hydrangeas are gorgeous. The corn husk pull made me say Why didn't I think of that! You have the best ideas.
Dear Willow has surely had some kind of 'trauma' in the woods or the yard. She's wiser and more wary. That's not a bad thing. Love seeing the two of you together. Good to see her running!
No curtains at all….love the light
That kind of life is one that I personally can only dream about now unfortunately.
Your black-eyed Susans are still thriving! I'm jealous.
Good morning! Yes, I was ready to get our 1750 home fall ready as well last week! 80° + this week is killing my vibe! 😊
I just love the corn husk garland. I might try to make one. I think Michael’s sells dried corn husks. You so inspire me Linda. Thanks❤️
Love the window treatment. Thank you for the video. You make my Sunday extra special❤
I absolutely love the window treatments! Wow, they sure do compliment Queen Bess and the entire room. So cozy too. I have to rewatch last week’s video…I don’t remember hearing about them.
Ohhh I love Simon Pearce. Can’t wait to see what you carry.
Peaceful moments with Linda..love ❤
I find over many years of drying my Hydrangeas,starting with a little water,was always the best.
I'm always torn between curtains and bare windows. I'm sure it will be beautiful whatever you decide. 😊 I love seeing you harvest your vegetables and herbs. I made pesto with my basil, but need to dry chives. The corn shuck craft turned out so pretty. As always, thank you for the inspiration!!
Lovely window treatment. The bell pull is a great idea. Thanks. Have a nice day, Linda.
I just got my order from NEFL. THANK YOU. I always feel so special when I get an order. Thank you, you made me smile. Have a wonderful day.
I'm so glad!
I like the window treatments without the long panel. The jabot looks perfectly proportionate to the window and the space.
I have found lemon grass dries out well on its own, just cut and layed out. I cut it to fit in canning jars so I can cut as needed for tea. Lemon grass is high in vitamin c. Great for your winter ahead.
I love the window treatment! Perfect for those windows~
We're having a heat wave in California and you're seeing your breath in the air! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home and gardens.
I just received my Fall Box - what wonderful items you’ve selected! Thank you. I’m ready to enjoy a bit of New England fall here in Texas!
Love the mystery of the bamboo stake! We have bamboo growing near us and I AM gonna cut some for an arbor like yours. We use them mostly for roasting marshmallows and hot dogs! I purchased the Solo stove for my son for Christmas and he loves it! I cut some hydrangeas while on vacation while in Maine. Unfortunately, they did not survive our trip home. You are blessed with your bushes. Thanks for sharing…
I love your homes and gardens, simply beautiful. I love the idea of the swag and jabot, I think the asymmetry without the panel would be perfect. I think the panel makes them too heavy even if it was hemmed the correct length. Beautiful fabric and trim!
Linda, I like those drapes. They are beautiful. I think you could leave the tassels on them for awhile and decide. If you decide you don’t like them or to much, you could remove them. No harm done. I love the fabric,it goes so well with the painting. I like the drape near the ceiling best.❤pat
The fabric of the window compliments Queen Bess perfectly. A simple swag would look lovely. The corn husk/dried apple/flower pod would look lovely on a Christmas tree, too. Great ideas!
OMG Linda so cold that we can see your breath!!! I am in So. Cal. and we are in triple digit temps. I love where I live now complaints. It just amazes me how the weather can be so different on the same day but different cities. Love your videos❤❤
The colors are wonderful with Bess, but honestly, the window treatments seem too old looking for someone your age :) Your home is so well done with a mix of old and new. Love that. I would do something fresher at the windows. We designers are opinionated !
Thank you for a good Sunday have a blessed week 🙏
Received my box yesterday and I adore every item enclosed. ❤
I think it looks really pretty with the long side out very cozy looking
The window treatment fabric is beautiful and looks great in the room. Maybe just the swag portion for those i=windows? There will be more light and not such a formal window treatment look. Just a thought. When you showed the stick, my first thought was a big bird that didn't realize how long it was!! Your fire made me want to have the first fire of the season in the house. It's very cold in central NY too and your fire looked wonderful! Glad Willow is on the mend.
Watching your Sunday morning videos is always a nice way to start the day! ❤Received my fall & Halloween boxes late yesterday and I love everything!! Such beautiful items and so beautifully curated! I think my husband was just as excited as I was! Lol! He said it felt like Christmas morning! (Which was kind of cute and unexpected!)
Those curtains are really complementary to Queen Bess.I would shorten the long side of curtains but putting it closer to ceiling like someone suggested would be good. Loved this video. Enjoy your week🌹
My pear tree only produces full, ripe pears every 3 years, the other times, they are small and scarce. Weird but its been that way for 13 years now
Great video. Oh how I hope you will leave the window over the sink without curtains or at least not cover the window. That window is amazing. As far as the drapes next to the fireplace, I like them without the side panel, thx for asking our opinion, Linda! Love your craft project and how you can switch gears midway and still come up with something so creative.
Thank you Linda for all your inspirational ideas! The pull is lovely! I enjoy just looking through your kitchen window! What a view!
Beautiful fabric. I personally like the windows with no treatments ❤️
Me too
Love your videos….they are a happy place for me to escape to. Love your style and creative ideas! 🫶 Thank you❣️
Linda, I truly enjoy your channel. I wish to comment on the swag and jabo you are considering using on either side of the fireplace. I think the fabric compliments the painting over the mantel. If you decide to use it, I would suggest removing the long panel. Hang with the jabo to the outside next to exterior walls. I little bit of the fabric at the kitchen window could be fun. Perhaps a runner for the table? For fall, the fabric would be charming.
Nancy
Those hydrangea are just lovely. Love your beautiful gardens. Thank you.
Love the window treatment with the panel to the outside with a tieback. Looks cozier and visually frames the end of the room.
Love the window treatments 👍💕
I like it raised up to the ceiling.
Linda your house is absolutely beautiful!
Thank you Linda for sharing , I so look forward to your videos. The window treatments are beautiful but also like the bare windows.i cut my hydrangeas this week. My problem is the cat likes to take them out of the vase during the night. One yr when I was back in my home state MA visiting I seen someone made a wreath with an old clock and surrounded it with hydrangeas. It was very unique. I copied it best I could and put it out in the fall 🍂🍁
Ok, so I'm really enjoying this video and the interior design. Lovely!😊❤
I like the windows without the drapes!
I love the Fall box, the candle smells luscious! Everything is lovely!
The valances are beautiful and match with Queen Bess, but not sure if they will look odd on only the two windows, maybe a contrasting fabric on the other Windows just as swags, and maybe hem the longer tail opposite the jabot to match its length. Whatever you decide it will be gorgeous ❤
Willow ❤🐾🙏
Wow my autumn box arrived and I just love each item inside. Yummy smells and tastes. Thanks for all your hard work on it. 😊
The curtains will look awesome.
I am so glad it arrived!
Love the window treatments. Maybe do asymmetrical with the shorter pieces at opposite sides, one on the left and one on the right. Then take the longer jabots and open them for simplistic treatments on the other windows, Roman shades would look nice, but don’t think you will have enough fabric.
I like the curtains with a jabot on both sides. I prefer a more symmetrical look, but they will be beautiful either way.
I absolutely love the glass candle vases on your table, excited to catch those in your shop for sure. I’m not a window treatment girl, I love natural light beaming in my home, but I do like a beautiful seasonal garland hung above my windows throughout all the seasons all year long. Love the apple and corn husk garland 🫶🏻
Loved seeing your brown transfer ware collection. I have my grandmother’s and I love it!
If you could take the material that hangs down from that window treatment and make Café curtains, that would be really pretty at your kitchen sink. You would be able to close them at night and open them in the day time.
I enjoyed the vlog as usual. I like the curtains with the long side on th outside edge.
Your garden is so beautiful 😍
I like the window treatments as is. I would keep the long panels. The hydrangeas are so pretty. I had a tree in a former home and I miss it! I always dried them. I'm enjoying the cooler weather here in PA and starting my fall decorating too!
