You are the high point of my week! There's no other way to say it. Still grieving the loss of my husband. But, you are my light at the end of a very long tunnel. That one day I might be where you are, confidently sitting in my livingroom and not sad anymore. I am so thankful that I found you and your channel Susan. You have no idea what your words mean to me!
I am so sorry for your loss honey. There are no right words and I'm not the best with them. Keep putting one foot in front of the other and everyday gets a little bit better. I don't know your husband, but I'm sure he would want you to keep living your life and doing what makes you happy. Now is the time to reinvent yourself. Explore You, in all your wonderful splendor. Time heals all wounds they say, but we don't have to forget, but grow and learn from it. My heart and soul is with you. I do know what you are feeling, as my mom and I lost my dad, her husband of just about 50 years not long ago. He was all she knew, her one and only love who she had been with since the age of 16 and a half. They just couldn't wait and I was present at the wedding in utero! So we both know what everyday is like for you. My mom said what she did was immerse herself in her favorite programs, her cooking groups, (susan for you). Having fresh air coming in from windows or sliding door, but not a lot of light to keep things calm. And cooking. Take long naps, read and be with family if you can tolerate it. I hope this helps, even if a little.
Hi Suzie! I just found this site last week and I feel the same way! It feels like I am in the same room with Susan and Desi and she is talking to me and I even find myself nodding my head in agreement when she talks! Already this channel has helped me in so many ways!
Welcome in, I found her channel late 2018 when I was going through a really hard time in my life & still am. Go back and watch some of her earlier videos, she's had quite an inspiring journey over the years.
Susan, absolutely heavenly! I had a cute one-bedroom upstairs from my son's apartment, which I took great care to lovingly decorate and make cozy. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with anxiety disorder and ran into dire financial straits. I gave up my apt and now share a two-bedroom with him, his fiancee and two year-old. We are looking to move, because I'm stuck with one room, and my grandson needs his own space, as well. I wonder sometimes if I made a very stupid mistake, but, he was in a bad way at the time. Mothers give their all, and often, too much, I think. I was living alone and was doing just fine. I hope and pray things get better..I want my own little haven again! Love to you and Desi. Rosemarie 💖
It’s so hard to stand by and watch a son or daughter struggling, we only can do what we think to be right at the time, if you had not taken action, who knows how you would have felt today.....🤗
I hope your life changes for the better for you .My daughter and two grandsons moved in years ago and my husband passed away fourteen years ..my house is small and my things are packed away in the garage .It's hard but we love our families more .God bless you. 💗🏡🙏
I hope you have youre own apartment by now. ... Im going through living with my daughter and her 3 teens, the kids are wonderful, but I need my own apartment.
Hello my friend🌺 I love this video more at this part of my life especially. As you know I lost my love in February, I’m doing well in spite of this huge loss. I have a small plaque that says “I CAN DO THIS”, so, I decided to invite my son and daughter in law to have a free place to live, no more crazy rent, but I’m not naive to think we would live in the same space, so, I had a lot of construction done and divided the home. I now live in a much smaller quarter, a living room, bedroom, and made a very small kitchen and bathroom. I am amazed how cozy and happy I am with all the things I love around me. My memories and beauty of my life. I am grateful💖 thank you Susan for this lovely video. 🌈🌈💕
This is awesome! I love seeing you are happy and content in your new space and you still have the rest of your home that holds such wonderful memories.
Enjoyed your video... I’m 71, still living over the moon happy with my husband of 50+ years so my life is different than yours. I change up my living room four times a year... for the seasons although in South Texas there’s no real change of season. I do it for me.... at this time of life there aren’t many visitors coming around. My sweetheart recently told me that one of his favorite things is that our house feels happy... he likes all my silly decorating. Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much, Susan, for creating this beautiful and thoughtful video. After my husband passed away a little over a year ago, I have been putting out more of my mother's and grandmother's little treasures that I saved, and my home is now my sanctuary. I feel so good when I walk through my front door. Susan, your home is magical and beautiful, just like you!!
Especially now, during the Covid-19 pandemic, it's so important to be happy in your home. Surround yourself with the things you love and create a home that makes you feel cozy, happy, and secure. Susan, I can't imagine anyone hating you; something must be wrong with your neighbor. Boy, Dezi was really giving you some attitude! Have a great week!
Hi again Susan. You’re such a pleasure to view and listen to. The way you arrange and edit your videos is fantastic. You get us thinking, appreciating, feeling, and smiling. You’ve done an amazing job decorating and I agree that lighting is so important. I enjoy changing things around now and then and it’s the little things that bring me pleasure. I’m 59 and with my partner as empty nesters with 3 of my 4 children still close by, and enjoy seeing them all (and my new grandchildren are pure joy as I reflect back on when my children were little as well). We have a 1year old little cavoodle who is so full of youthful joy and a 16 year old Maltese/Shitzu who has wonderfully accepted her and still enjoys her daily walks; getting me out daily as well, of which Is so important in this stage for lockdown over here in Melbourne Victoria Australia right now. We are in a very large house and it’s time for us to downsize soon, which I’m looking forward to as a new project and a new venture and we’ll most likely still live close by to my family. I can’t imagine not. Life is passing by far too fast and thanks to you I am truly looking at the little things even more than I already was, that brought or bring or will bring me joy. Sometimes it’s as simple as a new cushion, or phone case. I try to buy second hand every chance I get though, for our very loved planet. Thank you for all your videos and I too, like many, am enjoying your past videos every chance I get. Online Hugs to you and Desi. 🙏😊💕 🐾💛
You have a precious and tender heart which is so very, very beautiful.... and as a new subscriber, I will cherish... your home should be where your treasures are... I ADORE your home... Blessings and protection for you during these challenging times.. Thank you for making me feel joyful this morning... 🥰🙏🏼❤️✨
I realize that this is from several months ago, but I have to tell you I just love your decorating style. When I can I am going to start to thrift. Or maybe I will go shopping in my own house! Thanks for all the great decorating tips. Those folk art cats are so cute!
You bring joy and happiness to all that watch you. In these times that’s so important. Thank you for that gift. Your apartment is so inviting and cozy Love your channel ❤️
I love your apartment, it's so warm and inviting, I could take sit back with a glass of wine and feel so at home and relaxed there. I love Desi too, super sweet, oh that face is so precious, especially with the little bowtie he wears. Your very detailed and have quite the eye for things, you co-ordinate them beautifully. I would love to have a neighbor like you, my world would be brighter, thank-you for sharing your love and kindness with us.
Susan your home is ENCHANTING! It's one of the things that drew me to binge all of your previous videos after I found you. Your lighting is gorgeous and I relate to you on that, I am not a fan of harsh lighting and just no to overhead lights lol. I love when you show us around and where you've lovingly placed your finds. I also love your music and seeing Desi run and do yoga! 💗
Susan, Happy to see you here today. Just love all the effort you put iñto relaxing scenes and music to match your topics. Not to mention your voice añd personality, you sense of humour too. Realized for certain I miss and need my Own 😢 space again here in my little own house. Thank you for this 🙏 today🤔😍 ❤️
One of the reasons I enjoy your videos is seeing the warm, calming atmosphere of your home. I especially love it when the camera pans over the vignettes on your tables and dresser. ❤️
I got my twinkle or fairy lights at Hobby Lobby. They come in different lengths and colors....I got the very bright white and also the soft off white ones....love them and want more for summer patio fun.............
I've been a twinkle light person for many years! They are so magical!! I call them my "atmosphere " lights!! (Interestingly enough, my name is also Susan!!* lol*)
Dear susan and dezzi...i am a new person on your channel..i am from england..i love your channel..you are a blessed find and I have been catching up on all your videos..your home is beautiful and precious..i am also alone ( but not lonely )..you are very inspiring to all us ladies..thank you so much..God bless you and the dez..lots of love and hugs..from Helen x
I so love you and your little Desi. You are a joy to watch. I especially like your videos when you just get down to earth and talk to us about life , in general. I do enjoy watching you thrift and see the beautiful items you pick up. You have such good taste. Your home is so inviting and warm and colorful. You make me happy, you make me sad , at times, but you always make me FEEL.
Hi love. New subscriber here in Tampa, Fl. I'm a widow. My husband died from cancer in 2011. Been living on my on since 2017. Before that I stayed win my two grown kids or took jobs where I worked as a live in worker. After 2016 I went down to Puerto Rico and took care of my mom for 6 months. We found her a resthome and I moved back to Florida and eventually found this job and a home I had been praying for. Love it. Don't need a man either. Have someone I occasionally date. Your place is beautiful and I think very well lit. I think that's the problem with mines. So I'm getting some of those beautiful string lights and making it more cozy. Thanks for your videos. Makes me feel like I'm not the only one. ♥️🙏
Front door thing...I love it. I've been making changes of decor, colors, and paint. Many of my younger friends of 50 and below have been telling me they find going into their parents and grandparents home....it is just all this big dark furniture. Humm. I think they may be talking. About me too 😁. My husband passed away suddenly this pass Thanksgiving and I'm finding I need to now be me. And he is ok with that. Have sold and giving away almost everything...and things that left are going to be painted and repurposed. I moved my bedroom to a smaller one and made it totally mine...new double bed and other tables I had in storage...painted them up and added two new lamps. And I have beautiful sheer lace curtains at the head of my bed, windows, took off door to closet doors and hung more or my beautiful curtains. It is feminine, romantic, and serene. I'll be following you....have a beautiful week.
Who are the seven that put thumbs down on an exquisite and beautiful video with an even more beautiful story behind it all?? Why? I loved this post most of all Susan!!! It taught me something today, that I needed. Your home is completely You and just as beautiful as You. Every piece holds so much feeling and has a story behind it. You are right about the way our homes are decorated and such is not just for us, and holds more meaning than that. It affects everyone that walks through our door. They will get a sense of who we are in the way that our homes look. I love Art. If I were there, I would stand in front of each and every piece, contemplating it, losing myself in it and letting it wash over me. Thank you for sharing your home with us and thank you for such gorgeous and exquisite meaningful videos.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have been so curious about your beautiful apartment for SO long! I'm so happy that you make this video, because I want to decorate like you do. I love your twinkle lights and have done some of them already, just from seeing them behind you. Also, the rugs, I too discovered them at Home Goods and I have one of those. I have already watched this video twice and probably will watch it many more times for your wonderful tips. I never dreamed you were in a tiny one bedroom. It looks so welcoming an warm behind you and now I know your whole place is a work of art. I must say, that you have a good eye for shopping at Goodwill. When I go, I don't see the beautiful things that you do, although I'm sure they are there. I just don't have the eye. Thank you again for welcoming us into your home. You cheer me up so much every week. You made me want to get in the car and drive to the Goodwill and Resale shops but COVID is raging here in the Dallas area and I'm staying home as much as possible. I still have the same tank of gas that I bought in March....and it's still on Full. LOL (I don't know whether to laugh or cry about that) Sometimes, at age 72, it feels like this is how it will be the rest of my life. I know better, but it feels that way.
Just keep praying,God are just a prayer away,this virus happen for a reason,but people not listen to God,but he promise I never leave you nor forsaken you,I be with you until the end of the world,maybe not have that written way God put it all there,cause writing it by heart,but just remember when you feel so bad or things get so bad,just wait until God show you the sun shine,he are telling you you alright,but when he puts in right in your face,he means what he is telling you.,Yesterday my husband was outside after work ,working than at home,he said something like this,we need some rain,than I prayed for rain but ask God not let the storms hurt anyone or anything,I told him I prayed for rain,he said turn around it started to rain,than we got alot of rain and storms,still raining,I'm not better than anyone,but the only measurement of faith,God talks about ,are a grain of mustard seed,a seed that are the smallest seed in the world,that's all God ask of you.God bless you and yours.
Hi Susan, you are precious to take us along and through your adorable and quite lovely apartment. Own homes should be not only our safe place but calming comfort and the freedom to decorate with things we love and that bring us happiness and you have done that beautifully, cheers and blessings from Nashville!
Love the way you decorate your apartment, you have to share more ideas to help us create welcoming spaces. Watching your videos and the changing of the season motivated me to get out my fairy lights and fall decorations to warm up my home. I have just discovered your channel, thank you for always sharing yourself and your space
I love your apartment and the way you have decorated it. Both of my children are in the process of buying their own homes, and my husband passed away a little over 4 years ago. I’ve never lived alone. I am excited and terrified. Not of anything bad happening but of just being free. I want to do some things like you have done. I love your twinkle lights and how YOU it is. Thanks for sharing each week. It really means a lot to me. You are a bright spot in the madness that is our world today. Take care. ❤️
Your home is where your heart is and you’ve done a lovely thing in your apartment. You gave it all the love you wanted it to have and you’re going to continue to do that every day bc you’re truly a beautiful person who loves deeply and loves unconditionally. I always love watching your videos and I will watch forever and visit you every week. Love you dear. You’re always loved and always near to my heart. Give Desi a great BIG hug and have yourself a blessed week my beloved. ❤️🐑🦢🐶
Susan your home is warm,inviting and magical..so much of YOU is in every room..to capture that in a video is unbelievable..I can only imagine what it feels like to actually be there in person. I guess it would feel priceless. Ps...I love yellow too! My whole front porch is painted yellow..I love sitting out there every day,with the flowers, birds, butterflies and squirrels.Thank you for showing us your heart, through your home.❤
Like you ,I love the twinkle lights. I have them everywhere. You are so right about mixing the old & new. Everyone who comes here always says my place seems so cozy & peaceful. My house is my sanctuary. I walk in the door at night and leave all the crappy stuff behind. As always much, love to you & Dez. Thank you for another girls chat session.
Your apartment is so charming and cozy. Desi is definitely the heartbeat of your home. 🐶💓 I do hope that in a future video you might share your cleaning schedule and tips. I love decorating, but can’t seem to stop procrastinating when it comes to housecleaning.
I have a sheep with an attitude too. I love seeing when you show all the things in your apartment up close so we see what it is and I love all the color & lightening ! Love that elephant frame OF COURSE get rid of any negative energy...all for it! Just watch how fast that little guy is growing! I long for the day that your neighbor doesn't hate you LOL It's been so long now I don't remember if we've ever learned why he hates you? LOL Don't you wonder what Desi thinks the camera is LOL "Here we go again just sitting here while she talks to??? That thing never pets me or gives me a treat...barks? What is it?" LOL Love you both! xoxo
OH dear, I am so so happy to see you today Mary!!! when I was filming this Desi was there every minute and the longer it went on, the madder he got. Why is it videos like this are so fun but the time they take is triple a normal a little video? I always am very shy about doing this...I am not rich and my place is so tiny compared to most others...but what the heck! I am still on a waiting list for Marsh Ridge...I took a lot of footage over there but used almost none of it...she said it would be another 6 months before I could move there..but when I was filming there, two women walked by and I asked them if they loved living there and the women looked at mye put her hands over her face and screamed: " It's The Littlepoet"...it was the sweetest dearest thing I ever saw....I thought truly that this was a sign from above to be patient and that I will get there when the time is right. They have woods, ponds, ducks, a screened-in porch, fountains, and a laundry room in your apartment there...and a carport. It's so pretty there...so in the end I will have waited 2 years to get there.....but what is that's saying? I want to do a video on your brushes...can we put our heads together and figure out how I can do this? Love you girl! I really do little Sis.
@@LittlePoet Awww hey I'm doing a live tomorrow if you want you can come in. I think I just send you a link and you click it? You got a web cam? You don't have to stay the whole time if you don't want I was gonna be just showing some new items that have been sent to me and jaw jack like I do LOL anyway I smiled from ear to ear when you said that about the lady and what she said..YES it's a sign and good things happen to those who wait :D It's only not ready yet because God has something special I just know it :D Love you!! xoxoxoxo
@@GlitzyFritzy I think you are right Mary...I have 4 camera's ( I know...schameful) but I have no webcam. I go int the store and they say they are all sold out....fine...if you ever get time, let me have a link to one where I can buy it online and lets do this Live thing. It is so long over-due!
@@LittlePoet I'm so happy to hear your new place has woods too, otherwise I would have said stay where you are because the woods and nature are too beautiful where you are now to leave behind.
Mary I’d love to see Susan on a live.... what fun that would be. I don’t know what phone you have Susan but if it’s a couple of years old it should have a half decent camera. You can put it on a holder, clink on the link, add a set of headphones and Boom.... I do have another cunning plan, and that’s to do with using your M50 as a webcam....
Like always Susan you are so right about what you surround yourself with setting the way you feel! Love the fact that you are removing bad memories and negativity with getting rid of things that hold these memories and replacing them with simple things that bring out comfort and happy thoughts. Fill your space with what makes you feel healthy and safe and makes you smile and others will feel it too when they visit. Loved the visit this week . Love to you and Desi.
Our places that we call home should be a reflection of us. Your apartment looks beautiful, warm, cozy, inviting!!! It looks like you! It reflects your sweet heart!!! Blessings to you and precious Desi❤️❤️
Isn't it wonderful to come into your home and feel "at home" and cozy? I agree with a lot of what you said. How the entry is decorated makes a big difference and sets a mood. Lighting is a key element. We have some overhead lighting, but I shut them off and leave my lamps on, creating a softer, warmer mood. The light, blue/grey rug is such a find. I love soft colors. Art is also important to me and having handmade items is very special. I try to incorporate natural elements into my home, such as pottery, many wooden items (furniture, cutting boards, etc.), plants or flowers, some metal items (sculture of dancers), and mixing the new with the old. I like so many contrasting design styles, I can't and won't pick just one. Music creates a special atmosphere too. Take in a space with all of your senses. And books... Your bookshelf is very one thing that stood out for me. When I see a home with books, I immediately find joy. Thanks for sharing your personal space with us. I hope that you are happy in your new digs.
Susan, I always say this to you but it’s true! Your videos touch my soul. Thank you for sharing your peaceful sanctuary that is your home. I love twinkle ✨ lights twinkle light sister! ✨✨💫
She has way more things that I would want in a small space yet it’s very organized and clean . It’s her thing and I really like her sweet personality .
Thank you susan for giving us women a tour into your lovely home. You make us feel like your a lifetime friend. Feels like we are sitting in your lounge room with you, and were sharing a cuppa and friendship. You are blessed with a sweet gentle spirit. God bless you and thank you for all the lovely tips you share. 🙏✝️❤️🎶🎻🎇🌻🎁
Hi Susan, it is so good to come visit you and to be lifted up out of the doom and gloom that is in the world today. Thank you for being a light and for inspiring us to keep going. Your apartment is beautiful. Hope you enjoyed your walk with little Desi. Take care.
You speak to me through the spaces that are different and also through the spaces that we share. I am a widower five years after a very loving marriage for 50 years. Thank you for being a light for me right now as I reclaim joy each morning.
Susan, as always, you are calming and comforting. I like the old fashioned, homey feel to your place. You describe it well and it truly is magical. Our tastes are similar and I have filled my home with an eclectic mix of things I have purchased over my lifetime, along with things I inherited from my mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. So, many of my things are old, some are antiques. Some are just sentimental. Living in Los Angeles, most people are decorating in very modern, sleek, minimalist black and white. My place is colorful and different, traditional mostly with a few things from the mid-century when I was born. My granddaughter loves it. She calls my house her "happy place", thinks it's beautiful and that there are a lot of things to explore. Thank goodness! LOL. Hugs to you and Desi. xoxo
You have what is called the Midas touch ! The gift of speaking , the gift of filming , and decorating . You have a beautiful space and home . What a beautiful way to start the weekend . Prayers to get to your new place when the time is right. Your hair looks just gorgeous .
You're so right about decorating on a budget...your lighting and figurines are so meaningful...and the paintings and pictures! Your bed is beautiful and the new rugs make it so cozy🤗 Hard to believe your apartment is only 1 bedroom....I thought for sure it was a large house! You make it look so much more! I can see how you would have fun rearranging and changing the look to set a different mood whenever you wanted! I enjoy doing that too but you do a better job of it! 💃 Thanks so much for bringing us into your beautiful home today ❣️ Looking forward to seeing you and Desi again soon.❤️
When I tune in every week, and you invite us into your home, it brings such peace. I'm the same way about lighting, it must be muted and peaceful. Can't stand bright, overhead lighting. Much love, peace and blessings to you and Desi 💜 and all of you out there 💜 ✌ 💜
Love your place, and I agree with your philosophy of welcoming guests. Our places are extensions of ourselves and the warm wishes to welcome others, and comfort ourselves. And your little home has it in spades!
Your neighbor used the perfect word to describe your apartment "magical". I find myself pausing the video sometimes so that I can look at all the wonderful things. It's beautiful. Thanks Susan and have a great week!
💜I'm working on my bravery because of you and Desi. Next is the 'lonely' part ... You are a wonderful inspiration! Challenges can be a wonderful part of moving forward😍💐
Hi Susan. I think your apartment feels very warm and homey. Flowers , lightening , colors and artwork can really change an appearance in a room. And yes, declutter and get rid of bad memories, no room for them. Thank you for this wonderful video and sharing your apartment . I love it! You have so many nice pieces. It has taken me a little to get used to my apartment. But I finally feel comfortable and I've had friends and family say it's a very cozy and comfy feeling here so I'm glad about that. And like you said you don't have to spend a lot of money to make it look fresh and new. Stay safe Susan and have a wonderful weekend. Also your videos are always so beautiful, the filming the pictures, the music, it's like a short movie.
I love all your decorating tips Susan. I especially like your bedroom with the antique wood bed and that big picture of the girl with her head resting on her arm. Love to you and Desi. ❤️
Hello Susan, I really enjoyed this video!!! I love the way your home is decorated, it's so cozy and enchanting and I agree with you about buying things that make you happy . I try to surround myself with things that make me smile too. Take care !!!
Good Morning Susan! I love your apartment. It is so warm and cozy. What a wonderful place to come home too. Wishing you and Dezi a safe and happy weekend!💕
I've found really beautiful paintings and/or reproductions at Goodwill. One of my favorites is mostly in different shades of blues representing the waves crashing on rocks at the ocean. It is so vivid we just sit there and can actually "hear" the sounds of the crashing waves. It is one of my favorite and most relaxing paintings. One of my nieces is moving into her first apt, soon. I've told her to focus on her bedroom and make it-as you recommended- luxurious, comfortable and relaxing as this is the first place you see in the morning and your comfort and safe place at night. Thank you!
I'm 49 years old and throughout the last year your channel would appear in my feed every so often. You are a very calming person with a good outlook on life. Subscribed today:)
I missed this video .So glad to see your uplifting stories It's been such a terrible year with covid and my staying inside. My arthritis is all over my body now & I can hardly walk. Thank goodness I don't have stairs .It runs in our family bc my younger sister's have had surgeries. Not me yet at 74. I have spasms in my back .Getting old isn't easy at times. I am so young at heart & dress like you and love some beauty products. I am so blessed to have my dad's hair ..natural platinum hair & waves now .It saves time & money .God bless you sweet lady. I love your decorating. I love old things ,family treasures and pictures. I think you make it looks larger than the size you said it is. Amazing .Desi is a happy little boy .My furbaby is almost ten and has an yeast infection and is losing his hair .Poor baby ...no more treats for him .Thank you for sharing your thoughts on things. I'm now 5'3" down from 5'4". It makes my BMI too high..oh well. Love you .🙏💗🏡🐶💗
I just love your apartment! Your pictures and lighting are so lovely, but it’s the smaller details too that bring so much to your home. I think though my favorite is Desi! That face is so precious-dear little guy! ❤️ thank you for sharing so much with us.
So cozy & welcoming! Your decorating style reminds me of my ex mother in law’s style. She taught me so much without even knowing it. Lighting candles, twinkle lights, fresh flowers, new things mixed in with vintage treasures and her jazz music playing. Thank you for sharing your lovely, charming home. 💕🥰
I’m Happy to have found your channel..you speak my heart! These have been my tips and tricks for years..it so nice to touch base with others who do the same... life’s too short to be bland 😁 I love to be home in my little nest.
I love your style! Your apartment is decorated just beautifully. I feel the same way about lights and lamps, rather than harsh overhead lighting. I have white christmas lights up all year round! You have some christmas lights that actually twinkle on and off. Lovely. I wish I could find some!
I love your flat! Your joy in being there is reflected through the lens. I think when you start to become comfortable within yourself, it shows in your living space, your dress sense and your whole demeanour. To make your house into a home is one of the best forms of self-care; slowly I am learning this for myself. Till next week, hugs from me & Hector-cat to you & D-dog!
Hi Susan and sweet Dez, when you open your door into your beautiful home its truly a very magical sight. So many treaures with meaning.Love all your twinkle lights they bring in so much calm in .. Your home reflects you and your kind beautiful soul you truly are.Thank you so much for showing us all yours and Dez's beautful tranquil home.Have a wonderful week and hugs to precious Dez ♥♡♥
Thank you for this share Susan💖 I myself find myself in a apartment alone also, but my little place is my place✝️ with my things that I love! I love that you shared your lovely home and you captured your essence as well💞
Being stuck at home, recovering from surgery and then having to quarantine, I began to look at our townhouse differently. So I began going through closets and gathering things I stored away and immediately noticing a common thread. I cleaned and rearranged and freshener up our home using things we already had. It feels like us and I am very pleased with the decor.
Hi Susan, what a great video. I love your home. And I love to go shopping with you! It's so much fun watching you pick things out and hold them up only to see them around your home after. You decorate with such love and warmth. You're creative. Surrounding yourself with what You love is the way to go. I love so many things in your home because we have the same taste. I love your little lights, artwork, the Tiffany style lamp, the cats and sheep folk art, Angel, flowers and on and on. The place is a dream. Between the beautiful treasures you have found to put in your home and having an adorable dog like Desi there, what more could a girl want? Hugs, stay safe, both of you. xoxo
Your site is an answer to my prayer. I just happened upon it today and it was the highlight of my day. My son passed away five years ago and I have never felt the same about my home or things in general. I sold my Condo a little over a year ago in the city and bought a house in a very small town near my daughter. She ended up taking a new job and moving away. I'm in this little town and know no one.My house now has "stuff" sitting all over and I have no desire to put things away or decorate! I realize the house and the lot it is on are way too big for me. I'm seventy seven years old and have to hire out my people to take care of my huge yard. My thoughts now selling are moving back to a small apartment where my friends and most of my family are. Your channel has given me hope again seeing your beautifully decorated apartment and your kind words and thoughts you share.
Oh I am so very sorry for the loss of your son...and now to find yourself in a town you don't feel part of, well I like your plan of maybe downsizing! I was so afraid I would dislike a 1 bedroom...but I fell in love with it...the ease of it...and the magical feeling I got when everythign around me reminded me of something happy and dear. I am moving to a slightly bigger apartment in the coming week...I will have a few more luxuries...a dishwasher, garage, a bath, and half and a lovely balcony that overlooks the woods. It funny...I was fearful of moving again...but I knew it was time to move up just a bit...but buying a home would be way too much for me....I think a big girl's apartment is just fun all the time! Thank you for finding me...and let me know what your plans are in the coming months! xxoo Susan & Desi
Hi Susan. Thank you. Ahh, I really didn't want this to end. I'm freezing cold and decided to jump into bed...it's only 16.40 but I'm so cold and there I found you and it has been so lovely watching you. Have a lovely week and be safe . Hugs to you and Dessi xx
Love every minute spent with you. You inspire me, lift my spirits, realizing how much I have to be thankful for. You are beautiful in and out and I'm grateful I have, ,or ,feel like I have you for a dear friend. See you and Desi the next time.
You are the high point of my week! There's no other way to say it. Still grieving the loss of my husband. But, you are my light at the end of a very long tunnel. That one day I might be where you are, confidently sitting in my livingroom and not sad anymore. I am so thankful that I found you and your channel Susan. You have no idea what your words mean to me!
So Sorry for your loss Laura💔Hang tight sweetness, You will be at peace again..💐🌹💌🐾
I am sorry for your loss and wish you peace.
Hang in there Laura. This to will pass. ♥️
I am so sorry for your loss honey. There are no right words and I'm not the best with them. Keep putting one foot in front of the other and everyday gets a little bit better. I don't know your husband, but I'm sure he would want you to keep living your life and doing what makes you happy. Now is the time to reinvent yourself. Explore You, in all your wonderful splendor. Time heals all wounds they say, but we don't have to forget, but grow and learn from it. My heart and soul is with you. I do know what you are feeling, as my mom and I lost my dad, her husband of just about 50 years not long ago. He was all she knew, her one and only love who she had been with since the age of 16 and a half. They just couldn't wait and I was present at the wedding in utero! So we both know what everyday is like for you. My mom said what she did was immerse herself in her favorite programs, her cooking groups, (susan for you). Having fresh air coming in from windows or sliding door, but not a lot of light to keep things calm. And cooking. Take long naps, read and be with family if you can tolerate it. I hope this helps, even if a little.
So very sorry for your loss. Glad you find some peace listening to Susan. She is quite wonderful!
You're home is warm and welcoming. I imagine great cups of warm beverages and fantastic talks with friends happening there.
I'm one of your new ladies and i love that i found you. It's like finding a special friend that i didn't even know i was looking for. Thank you.
I so agree!! I too am a newbie!!!
You will love it here.Welcome.☘️
Hi Suzie! I just found this site last week and I feel the same way! It feels like I am in the same room with Susan and Desi and she is talking to me and I even find myself nodding my head in agreement when she talks! Already this channel has helped me in so many ways!
Welcome in, I found her channel late 2018 when I was going through a really hard time in my life & still am. Go back and watch some of her earlier videos, she's had quite an inspiring journey over the years.
Welcome, you will love it here! Susan is wonderful the ladies here are wonderful and all are compassionate loving people..extremely great community.
Your apartment is beautiful and so homey. I don't think I would ever want to move.
Susan, absolutely heavenly! I had a cute one-bedroom upstairs from my son's apartment, which I took great care to lovingly decorate and make cozy. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with anxiety disorder and ran into dire financial straits. I gave up my apt and now share a two-bedroom with him, his fiancee and two year-old. We are looking to move, because I'm stuck with one room, and my grandson needs his own space, as well. I wonder sometimes if I made a very stupid mistake, but, he was in a bad way at the time. Mothers give their all, and often, too much, I think. I was living alone and was doing just fine. I hope and pray things get better..I want my own little haven again! Love to you and Desi.
Rosemarie 💖
Rosey C. I’ll pray for you to find a place and be happy 🙏🏼
It’s so hard to stand by and watch a son or daughter struggling, we only can do what we think to be right at the time, if you had not taken action, who knows how you would have felt today.....🤗
I hope your life changes for the better for you .My daughter and two grandsons moved in years ago and my husband passed away fourteen years ..my house is small and my things are packed away in the garage .It's hard but we love our families more .God bless you. 💗🏡🙏
I pray you will have that again Rosemarie .😘💗
I hope you have youre own apartment by now. ... Im going through living with my daughter and her 3 teens, the kids are wonderful, but I need my own apartment.
The first time I saw your videos I thought your apartment was very nicely decorated
Hello my friend🌺 I love this video more at this part of my life especially. As you know I lost my love in February, I’m doing well in spite of this huge loss. I have a small plaque that says “I CAN DO THIS”, so, I decided to invite my son and daughter in law to have a free place to live, no more crazy rent, but I’m not naive to think we would live in the same space, so, I had a lot of construction done and divided the home. I now live in a much smaller quarter, a living room, bedroom, and made a very small kitchen and bathroom. I am amazed how cozy and happy I am with all the things I love around me. My memories and beauty of my life. I am grateful💖 thank you Susan for this lovely video. 🌈🌈💕
What great thing to do, family is always number one. I would love to always have my kids close.
Wow! Proud of you!
This is awesome! I love seeing you are happy and content in your new space and you still have the rest of your home that holds such wonderful memories.
What a wonderful thing to do for your family.I wish you joy.☘️☘️☘️☘️
Oh Vanessa!!! You inspire me....what I htought I wanted and what really makes me happy turned out to be so different....I am grateful for you!
Enjoyed your video... I’m 71, still living over the moon happy with my husband of 50+ years so my life is different than yours. I change up my living room four times a year... for the seasons although in South Texas there’s no real change of season. I do it for me.... at this time of life there aren’t many visitors coming around. My sweetheart recently told me that one of his favorite things is that our house feels happy... he likes all my silly decorating. Thank you for sharing
Very sweet.
So sweet, San Antonio here.💖
Your neighbor was and is so right ... Your place is so magical! Your are such a joy. Thank you so very much for all you share!
Love the coziness of your home; it is so welcoming and says "Come, relax and enjoy." It totally reflects you and who you are! Love to you and Dezi!
You have one of the coziest apartments I've ever seen! I like mixing old and new too, a variation of English Country.
I love you and your Chanel, you are very soothing band comforting and your videos are beautiful.
Thank you so much, Susan, for creating this beautiful and thoughtful video. After my husband passed away a little over a year ago, I have been putting out more of my mother's and grandmother's little treasures that I saved, and my home is now my sanctuary. I feel so good when I walk through my front door. Susan, your home is magical and beautiful, just like you!!
Especially now, during the Covid-19 pandemic, it's so important to be happy in your home. Surround yourself with the things you love and create a home that makes you feel cozy, happy, and secure. Susan, I can't imagine anyone hating you; something must be wrong with your neighbor. Boy, Dezi was really giving you some attitude! Have a great week!
Your home is magical, beautiful, warm and inviting.
I just found you on UA-cam, and I love your channel. Looking forward to watching you now. God bless.
Paula Hatton Vines/Creating Cards to Share I think u hit it with the word, “magical.” 👍
I just love you and Desi! I always fix myself a second cup of coffee when I see you have a new video. Thanks.
Hi again Susan. You’re such a pleasure to view and listen to. The way you arrange and edit your videos is fantastic. You get us thinking, appreciating, feeling, and smiling. You’ve done an amazing job decorating and I agree that lighting is so important. I enjoy changing things around now and then and it’s the little things that bring me pleasure. I’m 59 and with my partner as empty nesters with 3 of my 4 children still close by, and enjoy seeing them all (and my new grandchildren are pure joy as I reflect back on when my children were little as well). We have a 1year old little cavoodle who is so full of youthful joy and a 16 year old Maltese/Shitzu who has wonderfully accepted her and still enjoys her daily walks; getting me out daily as well, of which Is so important in this stage for lockdown over here in Melbourne Victoria Australia right now. We are in a very large house and it’s time for us to downsize soon, which I’m looking forward to as a new project and a new venture and we’ll most likely still live close by to my family. I can’t imagine not. Life is passing by far too fast and thanks to you I am truly looking at the little things even more than I already was, that brought or bring or will bring me joy. Sometimes it’s as simple as a new cushion, or phone case. I try to buy second hand every chance I get though, for our very loved planet. Thank you for all your videos and I too, like many, am enjoying your past videos every chance I get. Online Hugs to you and Desi. 🙏😊💕 🐾💛
Susan + you are as welcoming as your home is. Thank you for inviting us in! ♥️
You have a precious and tender heart which is so very, very beautiful.... and as a new subscriber, I will cherish... your home should be where your treasures are... I ADORE your home... Blessings and protection for you during these challenging times.. Thank you for making me feel joyful this morning... 🥰🙏🏼❤️✨
I realize that this is from several months ago, but I have to tell you I just love your decorating style. When I can I am going to start to thrift. Or maybe I will go shopping in my own house! Thanks for all the great decorating tips. Those folk art cats are so cute!
Oh thank you!
You bring joy and happiness to all that watch you. In these times that’s so important. Thank you for that gift. Your apartment is so inviting and cozy
Love your channel ❤️
I love your apartment, it's so warm and inviting, I could take sit back with a glass of wine and feel so at home and relaxed there. I love Desi too, super sweet, oh that face is so precious, especially with the little bowtie he wears. Your very detailed and have quite the eye for things, you co-ordinate them beautifully. I would love to have a neighbor like you, my world would be brighter, thank-you for sharing your love and kindness with us.
Ok, come over for some wine right now!!!!!
@@LittlePoet I would accept the offer if I wasn't living in Canada! It's quite the commute.
Susan your home is ENCHANTING! It's one of the things that drew me to binge all of your previous videos after I found you. Your lighting is gorgeous and I relate to you on that, I am not a fan of harsh lighting and just no to overhead lights lol. I love when you show us around and where you've lovingly placed your finds. I also love your music and seeing Desi run and do yoga! 💗
Susan, Happy to see you here today. Just love all the effort you put iñto relaxing scenes and music to match your topics. Not to mention your voice añd personality, you sense of humour too. Realized for certain I miss and need my Own 😢 space again here in my little own house. Thank you for this 🙏 today🤔😍 ❤️
One of the reasons I enjoy your videos is seeing the warm, calming atmosphere of your home. I especially love it when the camera pans over the vignettes on your tables and dresser. ❤️
I'm ordering twinkle lights today! Twinkle on, sweet Susan.
I got my twinkle or fairy lights at Hobby Lobby. They come in different lengths and colors....I got the very bright white and also the soft off white ones....love them and want more for summer patio fun.............
I've been a twinkle light person for many years! They are so magical!!
I call them my "atmosphere " lights!!
(Interestingly enough, my name is also Susan!!* lol*)
Dear susan and dezzi...i am a new person on your channel..i am from england..i love your channel..you are a blessed find and I have been catching up on all your videos..your home is beautiful and precious..i am also alone ( but not lonely )..you are very inspiring to all us ladies..thank you so much..God bless you and the dez..lots of love and hugs..from Helen x
I so love you and your little Desi. You are a joy to watch. I especially like your videos when you just get down to earth and talk to us about life , in general. I do enjoy watching you thrift and see the beautiful items you pick up. You have such good taste. Your home is so inviting and warm and colorful. You make me happy, you make me sad , at times, but you always make me FEEL.
Hi love. New subscriber here in Tampa, Fl. I'm a widow. My husband died from cancer in 2011. Been living on my on since 2017. Before that I stayed win my two grown kids or took jobs where I worked as a live in worker. After 2016 I went down to Puerto Rico and took care of my mom for 6 months. We found her a resthome and I moved back to Florida and eventually found this job and a home I had been praying for. Love it. Don't need a man either. Have someone I occasionally date. Your place is beautiful and I think very well lit. I think that's the problem with mines. So I'm getting some of those beautiful string lights and making it more cozy. Thanks for your videos. Makes me feel like I'm not the only one. ♥️🙏
Front door thing...I love it. I've been making changes of decor, colors, and paint. Many of my younger friends of 50 and below have been telling me they find going into their parents and grandparents home....it is just all this big dark furniture. Humm. I think they may be talking. About me too 😁. My husband passed away suddenly this pass Thanksgiving and I'm finding I need to now be me. And he is ok with that. Have sold and giving away almost everything...and things that left are going to be painted and repurposed. I moved my bedroom to a smaller one and made it totally mine...new double bed and other tables I had in storage...painted them up and added two new lamps. And I have beautiful sheer lace curtains at the head of my bed, windows, took off door to closet doors and hung more or my beautiful curtains. It is feminine, romantic, and serene. I'll be following you....have a beautiful week.
Who are the seven that put thumbs down on an exquisite and beautiful video with an even more beautiful story behind it all?? Why? I loved this post most of all Susan!!! It taught me something today, that I needed. Your home is completely You and just as beautiful as You. Every piece holds so much feeling and has a story behind it. You are right about the way our homes are decorated and such is not just for us, and holds more meaning than that. It affects everyone that walks through our door. They will get a sense of who we are in the way that our homes look. I love Art. If I were there, I would stand in front of each and every piece, contemplating it, losing myself in it and letting it wash over me. Thank you for sharing your home with us and thank you for such gorgeous and exquisite meaningful videos.
Pretty lady you inspired me to improve my home - thank you. Love p
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have been so curious about your beautiful apartment for SO long! I'm so happy that you make this video, because I want to decorate like you do. I love your twinkle lights and have done some of them already, just from seeing them behind you. Also, the rugs, I too discovered them at Home Goods and I have one of those. I have already watched this video twice and probably will watch it many more times for your wonderful tips. I never dreamed you were in a tiny one bedroom. It looks so welcoming an warm behind you and now I know your whole place is a work of art. I must say, that you have a good eye for shopping at Goodwill. When I go, I don't see the beautiful things that you do, although I'm sure they are there. I just don't have the eye. Thank you again for welcoming us into your home. You cheer me up so much every week. You made me want to get in the car and drive to the Goodwill and Resale shops but COVID is raging here in the Dallas area and I'm staying home as much as possible. I still have the same tank of gas that I bought in March....and it's still on Full. LOL (I don't know whether to laugh or cry about that) Sometimes, at age 72, it feels like this is how it will be the rest of my life. I know better, but it feels that way.
Keep the faith, things will get better!
@@loisthompson5625 Thank you ❤
Just keep praying,God are just a prayer away,this virus happen for a reason,but people not listen to God,but he promise I never leave you nor forsaken you,I be with you until the end of the world,maybe not have that written way God put it all there,cause writing it by heart,but just remember when you feel so bad or things get so bad,just wait until God show you the sun shine,he are telling you you alright,but when he puts in right in your face,he means what he is telling you.,Yesterday my husband was outside after work ,working than at home,he said something like this,we need some rain,than I prayed for rain but ask God not let the storms hurt anyone or anything,I told him I prayed for rain,he said turn around it started to rain,than we got alot of rain and storms,still raining,I'm not better than anyone,but the only measurement of faith,God talks about ,are a grain of mustard seed,a seed that are the smallest seed in the world,that's all God ask of you.God bless you and yours.
Mary Billings sending you hugs from the uk Mary, I hope you can get out for a walk, if you are not driving! 🤗🤗🤗
Your energy......is SO transformative
Its your energy radiating inside your home Susan
Hi Susan, you are precious to take us along and through your adorable and quite lovely apartment. Own homes should be not only our safe place but calming comfort and the freedom to decorate with things we love and that bring us happiness and you have done that beautifully, cheers and blessings from Nashville!
Your home has a cozy, bed and breakfast Inn feel. It's very warm and inviting.
Love the way you decorate your apartment, you have to share more ideas to help us create welcoming spaces. Watching your videos and the changing of the season motivated me to get out my fairy lights and fall decorations to warm up my home. I have just discovered your channel, thank you for always sharing yourself and your space
I love your apartment and the way you have decorated it. Both of my children are in the process of buying their own homes, and my husband passed away a little over 4 years ago. I’ve never lived alone. I am excited and terrified. Not of anything bad happening but of just being free. I want to do some things like you have done. I love your twinkle lights and how YOU it is. Thanks for sharing each week. It really means a lot to me. You are a bright spot in the madness that is our world today. Take care. ❤️
Your home is where your heart is and you’ve done a lovely thing in your apartment. You gave it all the love you wanted it to have and you’re going to continue to do that every day bc you’re truly a beautiful person who loves deeply and loves unconditionally. I always love watching your videos and I will watch forever and visit you every week. Love you dear. You’re always loved and always near to my heart. Give Desi a great BIG hug and have yourself a blessed week my beloved. ❤️🐑🦢🐶
I loved how Desi sat there with you at the end . He was smiling with bright sparkly eyes- happy dog.
This is so meaningful and true. I'm glad someone finally said it! Watching design videos with affiliant links are so cold.
Susan your home is warm,inviting and magical..so much of YOU is in every room..to capture that in a video is unbelievable..I can only imagine what it feels like to actually be there in person. I guess it would feel priceless. Ps...I love yellow too! My whole front porch is painted yellow..I love sitting out there every day,with the flowers, birds, butterflies and squirrels.Thank you for showing us your heart, through your home.❤
Wonderful... as always... Thank you🌻♥️
Like you ,I love the twinkle lights. I have them everywhere. You are so right about mixing the old & new. Everyone who comes here always says my place seems so cozy & peaceful. My house is my sanctuary. I walk in the door at night and leave all the crappy stuff behind. As always much, love to you & Dez. Thank you for another girls chat session.
Starlight, Starbright, Your home sparkles and shines like you and YOUR Light.
Your apartment is so charming and cozy. Desi is definitely the heartbeat of your home. 🐶💓 I do hope that in a future video you might share your cleaning schedule and tips. I love decorating, but can’t seem to stop procrastinating when it comes to housecleaning.
Your home is as unique as you! 🌸💐🌸
I LOVE yellow. The counters in the kitchen of my old house were yellow....I loved walking into it every morning, it cheered me up no matter my mood.
I have a sheep with an attitude too. I love seeing when you show all the things in your apartment up close so we see what it is and I love all the color & lightening ! Love that elephant frame OF COURSE get rid of any negative energy...all for it! Just watch how fast that little guy is growing! I long for the day that your neighbor doesn't hate you LOL It's been so long now I don't remember if we've ever learned why he hates you? LOL Don't you wonder what Desi thinks the camera is LOL "Here we go again just sitting here while she talks to??? That thing never pets me or gives me a treat...barks? What is it?" LOL Love you both! xoxo
OH dear, I am so so happy to see you today Mary!!! when I was filming this Desi was there every minute and the longer it went on, the madder he got. Why is it videos like this are so fun but the time they take is triple a normal a little video? I always am very shy about doing this...I am not rich and my place is so tiny compared to most others...but what the heck! I am still on a waiting list for Marsh Ridge...I took a lot of footage over there but used almost none of it...she said it would be another 6 months before I could move there..but when I was filming there, two women walked by and I asked them if they loved living there and the women looked at mye put her hands over her face and screamed: " It's The Littlepoet"...it was the sweetest dearest thing I ever saw....I thought truly that this was a sign from above to be patient and that I will get there when the time is right. They have woods, ponds, ducks, a screened-in porch, fountains, and a laundry room in your apartment there...and a carport. It's so pretty there...so in the end I will have waited 2 years to get there.....but what is that's saying? I want to do a video on your brushes...can we put our heads together and figure out how I can do this? Love you girl! I really do little Sis.
@@LittlePoet Awww hey I'm doing a live tomorrow if you want you can come in. I think I just send you a link and you click it? You got a web cam? You don't have to stay the whole time if you don't want I was gonna be just showing some new items that have been sent to me and jaw jack like I do LOL anyway I smiled from ear to ear when you said that about the lady and what she said..YES it's a sign and good things happen to those who wait :D It's only not ready yet because God has something special I just know it :D Love you!! xoxoxoxo
@@GlitzyFritzy I think you are right Mary...I have 4 camera's ( I know...schameful) but I have no webcam. I go int the store and they say they are all sold out....fine...if you ever get time, let me have a link to one where I can buy it online and lets do this Live thing. It is so long over-due!
@@LittlePoet I'm so happy to hear your new place has woods too, otherwise I would have said stay where you are because the woods and nature are too beautiful where you are now to leave behind.
Mary I’d love to see Susan on a live.... what fun that would be.
I don’t know what phone you have Susan but if it’s a couple of years old it should have a half decent camera.
You can put it on a holder, clink on the link, add a set of headphones and Boom....
I do have another cunning plan, and that’s to do with using your M50 as a webcam....
Your dog is adorable! I love his underbite! Thank you for your sweet video.
Like always Susan you are so right about what you surround yourself with setting the way you feel! Love the fact that you are removing bad memories and negativity with getting rid of things that hold these memories and replacing them with simple things that bring out comfort and happy thoughts. Fill your space with what makes you feel healthy and safe and makes you smile and others will feel it too when they visit. Loved the visit this week . Love to you and Desi.
Our places that we call home should be a reflection of us. Your apartment looks beautiful, warm, cozy, inviting!!! It looks like you! It reflects your sweet heart!!! Blessings to you and precious Desi❤️❤️
Isn't it wonderful to come into your home and feel "at home" and cozy? I agree with a lot of what you said. How the entry is decorated makes a big difference and sets a mood. Lighting is a key element. We have some overhead lighting, but I shut them off and leave my lamps on, creating a softer, warmer mood. The light, blue/grey rug is such a find. I love soft colors. Art is also important to me and having handmade items is very special. I try to incorporate natural elements into my home, such as pottery, many wooden items (furniture, cutting boards, etc.), plants or flowers, some metal items (sculture of dancers), and mixing the new with the old. I like so many contrasting design styles, I can't and won't pick just one. Music creates a special atmosphere too. Take in a space with all of your senses. And books... Your bookshelf is very one thing that stood out for me. When I see a home with books, I immediately find joy. Thanks for sharing your personal space with us. I hope that you are happy in your new digs.
Susan, I always say this to you but it’s true! Your videos touch my soul. Thank you for sharing your peaceful sanctuary that is your home. I love twinkle ✨ lights twinkle light sister! ✨✨💫
She has way more things that I would want in a small space yet it’s very organized and clean . It’s her thing and I really like her sweet personality .
Thank you Janice...:) It's all I have in the world...and I"m happy! xxoo Love to you! Susan & Desi
Hope you and Desi have a wonderful time!!♥
Thank you susan for giving us women a tour into your lovely home. You make us feel like your a lifetime friend. Feels like we are sitting in your lounge room with you, and were sharing a cuppa and friendship.
You are blessed with a sweet gentle spirit.
God bless you and thank you for all the lovely tips you share.
🙏✝️❤️🎶🎻🎇🌻🎁
Hi Susan, it is so good to come visit you and to be lifted up out of the doom and gloom that is in the world today. Thank you for being a light and for inspiring us to keep going. Your apartment is beautiful. Hope you enjoyed your walk with little Desi. Take care.
You speak to me through the spaces that are different and also through the spaces that we share. I am a widower five years after a very loving marriage for 50 years. Thank you for being a light for me right now as I reclaim joy each morning.
Susan, as always, you are calming and comforting. I like the old fashioned, homey feel to your place. You describe it well and it truly is magical. Our tastes are similar and I have filled my home with an eclectic mix of things I have purchased over my lifetime, along with things I inherited from my mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. So, many of my things are old, some are antiques. Some are just sentimental. Living in Los Angeles, most people are decorating in very modern, sleek, minimalist black and white. My place is colorful and different, traditional mostly with a few things from the mid-century when I was born. My granddaughter loves it. She calls my house her "happy place", thinks it's beautiful and that there are a lot of things to explore. Thank goodness! LOL. Hugs to you and Desi. xoxo
Your home is amazing, I really love ir. Thank u Susan 🌻💖🐶
Love the front door rule!
You have what is called the Midas touch ! The gift of speaking , the gift of filming , and decorating . You have a beautiful space and home . What a beautiful way to start the weekend . Prayers to get to your new place when the time is right. Your hair looks just gorgeous .
You're so right about decorating on a budget...your lighting and figurines are so meaningful...and the paintings and pictures! Your bed is beautiful and the new rugs make it so cozy🤗 Hard to believe your apartment is only 1 bedroom....I thought for sure it was a large house! You make it look so much more! I can see how you would have fun rearranging and changing the look to set a different mood whenever you wanted! I enjoy doing that too but you do a better job of it! 💃 Thanks so much for bringing us into your beautiful home today ❣️ Looking forward to seeing you and Desi again soon.❤️
This is my favorite video so far! This video says so much about you. Thank you for sharing!
When I tune in every week, and you invite us into your home, it brings such peace. I'm the same way about lighting, it must be muted and peaceful. Can't stand bright, overhead lighting. Much love, peace and blessings to you and Desi 💜 and all of you out there 💜 ✌ 💜
Oh Susan, I love your beautiful, sweet, cozy home. ❤️❤️❤️
Oh I love your home too Tamara and I saw a picture of Audrey Hepburn this week that reminded me so much of you!
Your home is beautiful. So sweet and relaxing.
Love your place, and I agree with your philosophy of welcoming guests. Our places are extensions of ourselves and the warm wishes to welcome others, and comfort ourselves. And your little home has it in spades!
Your neighbor used the perfect word to describe your apartment "magical". I find myself pausing the video sometimes so that I can look at all the wonderful things. It's beautiful. Thanks Susan and have a great week!
Claudine Chabot I pause too, so I can look around! 💖☺️
I love your apartment Susan, I love lighting as well, and I love how you’ve used it in such a whimsical way❤️
💜I'm working on my bravery because of you and Desi. Next is the 'lonely' part ... You are a wonderful inspiration! Challenges can be a wonderful part of moving forward😍💐
Hi Susan. I think your apartment feels very warm and homey. Flowers , lightening , colors and artwork can really change an appearance in a room. And yes, declutter and get rid of bad memories, no room for them. Thank you for this wonderful video and sharing your apartment . I love it! You have so many nice pieces. It has taken me a little to get used to my apartment. But I finally feel comfortable and I've had friends and family say it's a very cozy and comfy feeling here so I'm glad about that. And like you said you don't have to spend a lot of money to make it look fresh and new. Stay safe Susan and have a wonderful weekend. Also your videos are always so beautiful, the filming the pictures, the music, it's like a short movie.
A video that is filled with beauty. In every way ❤️
I love all your decorating tips Susan. I especially like your bedroom with the antique wood bed and that big picture of the girl with her head resting on her arm.
Love to you and Desi. ❤️
Hello Susan, I really enjoyed this video!!! I love the way your home is decorated, it's so cozy and enchanting and I agree with you about buying things that make you happy . I try to surround myself with things that make me smile too. Take care !!!
Good Morning Susan! I love your apartment. It is so warm and cozy. What a wonderful place to come home too. Wishing you and Dezi a safe and happy weekend!💕
I've found really beautiful paintings and/or reproductions at Goodwill. One of my favorites is mostly in different shades of blues representing the waves crashing on rocks at the ocean. It is so vivid we just sit there and can actually "hear" the sounds of the crashing waves. It is one of my favorite and most relaxing paintings. One of my nieces is moving into her first apt, soon. I've told her to focus on her bedroom and make it-as you recommended- luxurious, comfortable and relaxing as this is the first place you see in the morning and your comfort and safe place at night. Thank you!
I love your channel
You bring such joy each week to my life. I look so forward to your sweet and calm self. Susan, you help bless my week. Joy to you!
Simply beautiful, you, Dez and your amazing apartment💗
I'm 49 years old and throughout the last year your channel would appear in my feed every so often. You are a very calming person with a good outlook on life. Subscribed today:)
You always make me reflect. You have a beautiful home. It's so warm and welcoming, just like you!
I missed this video .So glad to see your uplifting stories It's been such a terrible year with covid and my staying inside. My arthritis is all over my body now & I can hardly walk. Thank goodness I don't have stairs .It runs in our family bc my younger sister's have had surgeries. Not me yet at 74. I have spasms in my back .Getting old isn't easy at times. I am so young at heart & dress like you and love some beauty products. I am so blessed to have my dad's hair ..natural platinum hair & waves now .It saves time & money .God bless you sweet lady. I love your decorating. I love old things ,family treasures and pictures. I think you make it looks larger than the size you said it is. Amazing .Desi is a happy little boy .My furbaby is almost ten and has an yeast infection and is losing his hair .Poor baby ...no more treats for him .Thank you for sharing your thoughts on things. I'm now 5'3" down from 5'4". It makes my BMI too high..oh well. Love you .🙏💗🏡🐶💗
I just love your apartment! Your pictures and lighting are so lovely, but it’s the smaller details too that bring so much to your home. I think though my favorite is Desi! That face is so precious-dear little guy! ❤️ thank you for sharing so much with us.
This makes me happy. Just looking at your home makes me happy. Beautiful and cozy. Lovely!
Love how you have it decorated. So YOU and so thoughtful.
Hey you!!!! Gosh I am reminded how much I miss you!
So cozy & welcoming! Your decorating style reminds me of my ex mother in law’s style. She taught me so much without even knowing it. Lighting candles, twinkle lights, fresh flowers, new things mixed in with vintage treasures and her jazz music playing. Thank you for sharing your lovely, charming home. 💕🥰
I’m Happy to have found your channel..you speak my heart! These have been my tips and tricks for years..it so nice to touch base with others who do the same... life’s too short to be bland 😁 I love to be home in my little nest.
Love watching you.....my home used to look like yours....it’s time I go back to what made me happy and ignore any comments. Thank you!
I love your style! Your apartment is decorated just beautifully. I feel the same way about lights and lamps, rather than harsh overhead lighting. I have white christmas lights up all year round! You have some christmas lights that actually twinkle on and off. Lovely. I wish I could find some!
I love your flat! Your joy in being there is reflected through the lens. I think when you start to become comfortable within yourself, it shows in your living space, your dress sense and your whole demeanour. To make your house into a home is one of the best forms of self-care; slowly I am learning this for myself. Till next week, hugs from me & Hector-cat to you & D-dog!
Hi Susan and sweet Dez, when you open your door into your beautiful home its truly a very magical sight. So many treaures with meaning.Love all your twinkle lights they bring in so much calm in .. Your home reflects you and your kind beautiful soul
you truly are.Thank you so much for showing us all yours and Dez's beautful tranquil home.Have a wonderful week and hugs
to precious Dez ♥♡♥
Thank you for this share Susan💖 I myself find myself in a apartment alone also, but my little place is my place✝️ with my things that I love! I love that you shared your lovely home and you captured your essence as well💞
Being stuck at home, recovering from surgery and then having to quarantine, I began to look at our townhouse differently. So I began going through closets and gathering things I stored away and immediately noticing a common thread. I cleaned and rearranged and freshener up our home using things we already had. It feels like us and I am very pleased with the decor.
Hi Susan, what a great video. I love your home. And I love to go shopping with you! It's so much fun watching you pick things out and hold them up only to see them around your home after. You decorate with such love and warmth. You're creative. Surrounding yourself with what You love is the way to go. I love so many things in your home because we have the same taste. I love your little lights, artwork, the Tiffany style lamp, the cats and sheep folk art, Angel, flowers and on and on. The place is a dream. Between the beautiful treasures you have found to put in your home and having an adorable dog like Desi there, what more could a girl want? Hugs, stay safe, both of you. xoxo
Your site is an answer to my prayer. I just happened upon it today and it was the highlight of my day. My son passed away five years ago and I have never felt the same about my home or things in general. I sold my Condo a little over a year ago in the city and bought a house in a very small town near my daughter. She ended up taking a new job and moving away. I'm in this little town and know no one.My house now has "stuff" sitting all over and I have no desire to put things away or decorate! I realize the house and the lot it is on are way too big for me. I'm seventy seven years old and have to hire out my people to take care of my huge yard. My thoughts now selling are moving back to a small apartment where my friends and most of my family are. Your channel has given me hope again seeing your beautifully decorated apartment and your kind words and thoughts you share.
Oh I am so very sorry for the loss of your son...and now to find yourself in a town you don't feel part of, well I like your plan of maybe downsizing! I was so afraid I would dislike a 1 bedroom...but I fell in love with it...the ease of it...and the magical feeling I got when everythign around me reminded me of something happy and dear. I am moving to a slightly bigger apartment in the coming week...I will have a few more luxuries...a dishwasher, garage, a bath, and half and a lovely balcony that overlooks the woods. It funny...I was fearful of moving again...but I knew it was time to move up just a bit...but buying a home would be way too much for me....I think a big girl's apartment is just fun all the time! Thank you for finding me...and let me know what your plans are in the coming months! xxoo Susan & Desi
Hi Susan. Thank you. Ahh, I really didn't want this to end. I'm freezing cold and decided to jump into bed...it's only 16.40 but I'm so cold and there I found you and it has been so lovely watching you. Have a lovely week and be safe . Hugs to you and Dessi xx
I enjoy watching your videos so much. Watching before getting in bed helps me fall to sleep peacefully.
You are so UNBELIEVABLY lovely! I just discovered you (and subscribed) and I'm so glad I did! Thank you for such heartwarming and sincere content 💗
Love every minute spent with you. You inspire me, lift my spirits, realizing how much I have to be thankful for. You are beautiful in and out and I'm grateful I have, ,or ,feel like I have you for a dear friend. See you and Desi the next time.
Sublime video, Little Poet ! Have a fine weekend.
