    I adore the owner’s perspective: it’s making, not flying a plane or surgery. I love that she feels seen. The house is wonderful.

    Probably my favorite not just because of the beautiful and amazing design but because of how mature, bold and lively she is. There is so much depth in her design.

    Wow! This homeowner is megatalented and extremely entertaining! I love how she has unapologetically crafted and designed a totally unique, cozy home for her family. This was one of my favorite home tours ever! Thank you, this made my day! ❤

    There are not enough adjectives to describe how much I love this home and this lady. They both fill me with joy.

    OMG, I love every square inch of this home and every beautiful pop of color! And really, don't we all need a full size sheep in our home?

    • @kathleenphillips6445
      @kathleenphillips6445 Рік тому +2

      YES! We do! My mind started racing about all the ingredients I already have to make a sheep. I love this lady’s design sense.

    This tour is a really instructive example of why we shouldn't fear colour, mad ideas or just doing the damn thing because we feel like it. If it doesn't work you can always paint over it and go again. The variation, imagination and adaptability of this home are so inspiring; the colour choices are surprising and sophisticated (the sea green of that kitchen, the turtle green of the bedroom, that amazing yellow cabinet/table in the hallway: I am breathless); and above all it's just really fun without being at all cutesy.

    I love this house, her energy and talent! I also love that she's real...she's on a budget like most of us. Some of the houses and owners are pretentious... unlimited cash flow and name-dropping designers. This woman IS the designer and she is AWESOME!

      @meghancalahan4798 Рік тому +3

      Shes seems rad and down to earth, but no one living in 4,000 sq ft is on a budget. She said “i am cheap” and thats how the rich stay rich 🤷‍♀️

  • @rmonson5002
    @rmonson5002 Рік тому +8

    Wow. This woman is amazing on every level. I love her creativity but especially her philosophy. She does all that work herself AND parents five kids? Good hell, I'm lazy. I will rewatch this one again and again.... instead of picking up my own socks! Ha! Truly an inspiration. And everything looks amazing not crappy and junky like it would if I attempted it. Wow. Just wow.

    @SN-sz7kw Рік тому +3

    Aggressive ivory colour. 😂 Seriously, I love her attitude. And I love green as well. It’s hard to get right. A lot of trial & error. BTW - getting ready to put in an aggressive ivory kitchen in our farmhouse. 😆

    Here's a woman who I'd like to spend some time with. I enjoy her voice and her expressive design style. I don't adore every single choice, but I DO adore the fact that she makes bold choices.

  • @agl5132
    @agl5132 Рік тому +1

    At 64 I've been a DIYer way before it was cool. People thought I was crazy and/or cheap. It's fun to source items and let your creativity soar with what you will do with the treasures you find. It's funny the colors we are drawn to. I personally liked the white kitchen cabinets and HATE green (long story) although I love greenery in plants. I liked the big bathroom that was a very light sage green previously. However, with my own biases out of the way as a creative myself I LOVE her style and she has brought love, flow, and warmth to this house. I also love the globe collection and Ms. Baaaarbara is fabulous.

I’m a designer and artist, and I appreciate what you did so much, and how much you put into making it happen. I love everything!

    I agree 100% with every philosophy on design, function and feeling. Little by little, my home is becoming the outward reflection of me and I'm LOVING every step of it. I am amazing myself with the cohesive ways my eclecticism shows up. More power to her!

    Oh my god that dresser is stunning!!! I love the symmetrical grain. That's such exquisite carpentry and craftsmanship. Who the hell would paint such a beautiful piece?! Some people are so tacky and tasteless. Glad she was able to restore the piece back to it's original glory. Well done!

    Not my style, but what a fun, personalized house full of creativity. The coffee table really is screaming for the Wes Anderson set design coffee table book. I wish I could do the sheep. Those sheep are usually really expensive to buy. And I also love the diy of the entry dresser.

    This is wonderful. So many great projects and wonderful color. I love this home and her attitude about just doing DYI because it's not brain surgery. I interpret that as it's not a disaster if there is a "mistake" so you can just learn and keep going. She has a wonderful attitude.
