    Kristen, as a 60 year old Christian woman I want to say that your home and especially your words have really blessed me and inspired me!🥰 I teally appreciate watching a video with spiritual substance. Im going back to take notes and highlight the verses. And the prayer at the end was AMAZING. God bless all your future efforts and endeavors. Your sister from Vermont, Suzanne.❤🌲🍂🍁

    I was able to afford to furnish my home because of the inspiration you gave, the treasures you shared, the value you found in what others would often find valueless. Girl, you have all the acceptance you could ever want or need from this fan-one who values the Lord and family! You showcased that a beautiful home could come from pieces of discarded items in the Goodwill Bins, when loved and brought back to life within the walls of your home! I thank God that you brought back the creativity in my life! Beautiful home, beautiful life. Blessings to you xx

    A comfy and inviting home is sooo much more desirable than a professionally decorated but cold home. You do a really terrific job. Don’t ever apologize for your financial status , remembering you have so much more than millions of people in this world I think you have a beautiful home.

    Kristen, you are a precious woman of God and you truly do not need the approval of anyone but Him so I am proud you are beginning to realize that. Your home is lovely and I love older homes with curated thrifted finds and you have a house full of those so I am really enjoying your channel. I pray your channel continues to grow so you can take good care of those three babies and husband well during this difficult economic times. It costs us nothing to watch your videos but does a lot to support you so I pray you get many more subscribers.

    Sweet Kristen! This has got to be one of my favorite videos that I’ve watched of yours so far. Your home is truly a loving tribute to your values and faith. I actually sat here with tears in my eyes wishing I could tell you how proud I am of your stand to be all that the Lord has created you to be. I felt like I was not only invited into your lovely home but into your inner circle of sisters….. especially in Christ! Praying that the Lord continues to bless your endeavors. Keep sharing my sweet friend. You’re making a difference in this crazy uncertain time. God bless you sweet friend! Debbie from Michigan.

    How have I never run into this channel before? What a gem. I raised my daughter alone as a single father and we thrift and antiqued all the time! Today, my daughter is a woman who I konw can survive anywhere because she has learned the value of the hunt. Pray about it, do your best, and keep going. Those are my three! Excuse me while I take the next few hours to watch every single video on this channel. This is good stewardship of our resources! Merry Christmas, one and all. Wise men still seek Him. -Dave

    Kristen, your home is so cozy and so inviting. As you age you’ll get better at not compairing yourself to others. Following God‘s plan for your life raising your girls and sharing his love with others goes beyond measure. I love your channel and love to see what you do with thrift items, you’re a doll keep doing what you do best and don’t compare yourself with others.

      I was thinking the same thing as I listened to her! I am in my 60s and, although I still love it when people compliment me on my home or a specific thing about me that they admire, I am not nearly as concerned about what others think as I did when I was younger. It is so much more important to be in relationship with the Lord, pleasing and obeying Him, and valuing family. Blessings!❤

    We were just in the Omaha/Bennington area last week-end visiting our grandchildren and the tree colors were amazing!! I didn't realize how many trees the area has. I love that all the new housing developments plant so many trees. Kristen your home looks amazing. You have pulled everything together to create a beautiful, cozy home. I can imagine the laughter and giggles coming from your girls as they play about your home. I love your thoughts and words about living for Jesus and not for all the likes and approval from others. Thank you for sharing your lovely home and most importantly thank you for sharing yourself!! You are such a Godly woman who sets a wonderful example. God Bless!

    Kristen, here to reiterate what everyone has said… your home is so welcoming and beautiful. You have made your new found treasures into a home that your family can enjoy. I am always so tickled when I see the treasures your girls find and are thrilled to have versus the kids running around in Target with new toys that cannot compare. You are teaching them to truly value things of the past.
    It is tough to tune out outside noise and hone in to the Lords sweet still voice sometimes. The world surely tries to distract us, doesn’t it? You are an awesome woman of God which is first and foremost my reason for tuning in. Everything else is a bonus!❤

You are human, and the Lord knows your heart. I treasure your genuine spirit. You have a beautiful home! I have an Aunt n Uncle in Omaha, as well as several cousins and their families. God bless you and your family with strength, courage and peace. Love from Edmonton Alberta Canada.

    Ok had to pause just a few seconds in. Please don't ever feel bad because you don't get the response you thought you'd get. One people watched it. Two, I watch videos when I'm doing stuff around the house and don't always have time to comment or like. I'm assuming others are like me. You are one of my favorites and to be completely honest I watch your videos over and over. You have inspired this 51 year old to make my home make me happy. So if your home makes you happy, you're the winner. Love ya!!

    I have raised my child and I am old enough to be your mother. While I do enjoy your thrifting and decorating, I am at the age where I want more out of my house than in. So, the reason I thoroughly enjoy and look forward to your channel is because you love the Lord. You are giving women, young and old, the truth of the living God and our need to walk in His goodness and love. You are not afraid to speak out what you believe and I truly believe that if it ever came to God or your channel, God would win. It gives me hope in this worldly world, that there are young women like you, willing to share Jesus with others. I see that God is using you share your creative mind and style. God bless you, your ministry and your lovely family.

The fun part of you is what moves me to not be so serious in my own life. 💞

I often see those items and think how beautiful they are yet don’t know how to incorporate them in my decor. I feel confident now thanks to you. Thank you for suggesting the book “She Works His Way”. Sounds like a great book to read and definitely plan on reading it. For many reasons this time of year is so hard for many people emotionally and mentally and staying positive is a challenge. So any and all encouragement to give and receive helps all of us. Thank you again and keep up the good work!!!

I love how are you bring vintage and Thrift goods into your home! I just want you to know that I would consider myself to be creative, but I also don’t think I am super good at home decor. That being said, I think you bring a very unique and cozy feel to your home into this channel. I think what you do is incredible, and you are very gifted. I don’t know what other people comment that make you feel otherwise, but that’s what’s so beautiful about art and creativity… you can be as unique as you want, and everything is completely up to you. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you think it’s beautiful and you think it’s fun then that’s exactly what it is! Just know that I am a huge fan of yours, and the scripture at the end of your videos really brings things into perspective as well. :)
    The only thing that I would try to change would be hanging the TV if you can! I love the guest bedroom so much. My husband isn’t super into vintage or antique’s so I can incorporate a ton but I’m hoping that changes in the future😂 I love the paintings and old photos!!!

    😭💗 So I recently started a new job as a cook at a child care center. I took the job with excitement and passion to nourish children and teachers with healthy nourishing foods but I quickly felt overwhelmed, disappointed and unappreciated by some of the teachers. I am the only Christian at my work. I and a sister from church have been praying for the staff and the children and have seen some wonderful changes but I have been struggling with seeking approval and appreciation from coworkers instead of relying on God to give me strength and peace. It is a battle of my flesh wanting to belong and be accepted but I know in my heart this is not my home. I must rely upon and share God’s love and grace daily so that God will be glorified. Thank you for your prayer, honesty and truth sister Kristen! 💗

    Please don’t stress about content and likes. This job as you call it should be fun and make you happy. The reason your follows love your content is because you keep it real!!! We don’t live the lives like the youtubers who have the perfect homes, we know that is not real. You are still young, once you turn 40 or even 50 you will not feel the need to seek approval by others. We waste so much time doing that. Sending happiness your way💖🌺🌼🌷

    When you feel the passion and not rely on the expectation, it just clicks. Everyone's light is unique and when you are authentic it shows. The more stress you put on yourself to meet others expectations it eventually diminishes your joy in the process.

    I actually love that you waited for the fall season before giving your tour. It does seem more authentic than people who are doing it in July and August. Let us viewers savour each season ourselves. Just the first scene ... a dog, an American flag, and a tire swing hanging from the tree. Seriously... does it getting any more home town than that! I do feel for you vloggers, as likes and subscribers equal approval which equals a lucrative channel. So even without intentionally needing approval, it is a requirement for a successful channel. Its just the nature of the business. But just don't compare what you have, how you style, what you thrift with others. God made us each unique people with our own visions. Follow your vision, your heart and your family's needs and comfort. Then your home will always be beautiful.

    Dear Kristen, this video was amazing! Your house is lovely and beautiful!! However, the testimony you gave was so important and convicting. The Lord will use this to reach so many people for Him! Thank you for your boldness in sharing your heart and the message that our Savior gave you to share. You have planted so many seeds today and God will give the increase. Thank you!❤

    Kristen, thank you for your sweet testimony and hospitality. We do need to focus on the Lord so much more than the people we are trying to please. Remember, when you wake up in the morning, you are a daughter of a King and live that day accordingly. His love, Deb (xoxTX)

    Kristen. Thank you for your honesty and sharing your faith journey. My Dad who is now in heaven used to say he was a work in progress and that “He’s still workin on me” was a real thing. It is. We all have our “things”. Thank you for this video and all that you create. Your home is lovely and seems filled with love. I say this to you, myself, and any others that need this too.
    Be kind to yourself.

I also enjoyed your devotion book. It's so nice to find a video of someone who has the peace of Christ in your heart and home! Sandy

    Wow… I am a new UA-cam channel and hearing what you are saying is eye opening. Thank you for being REAL … I’ve watched you for a long time and always appreciated your authenticity and I strive for the sage things on my channel. I think everyone at some level seeks approval in their lives, it’s not shameful but yes, it needs to be in check. Btw, your home is beautiful and you do a lovely job all the time. Take it easy on yourself .. many blessings ❤

Also we are all different, not everyone has the same styles, likes, tastes, etc. he broke the mold when he made each of us n blessed us with our own precious gifts, talents, creativity, ideas, n abilities, to share with others! Thank u so much for sharing your beautiful fall home tour, yes this time of year is just beautiful and looking forward to enjoying the holiday season! 😊❤️🎁💕🍁

    Kristin you could never know how much I needed to hear this today. I love decorating and my home is pretty nice but I have learned that people I invite to my house are intimidated and than they treat me different. It has broken my heart. I love to have my home pretty more for myself and never to show off or make someone feel bad. I am a very friendly person and would never do to others what is happening to me. So hearing that God is the only one that truly matters has helped to get me through this sadness. Your home is lovely and you can be proud of being so talented. ❤

I could never get my house in order enough to invite everyone in, you are BRAVE!! I am a “neighbor” of yours, live in western Iowa. Keep up the great work!!
