    Rachel,
    I have gone through many styles in my almost 39 years of marriage, mostly following trends I didn’t like. As a person who grew up with little to no belongings, I wanted a cozy, welcoming and bearable home. Not knowing where to start, I followed those trends that everyone was doing. About 7 years ago, after reading many books on decorating, following along on Pinterest boards and seeing some beautiful homes, I came to realize that my style is a mix. I love English cottage with small touches of farmhouse. I am slowly getting there in my home with thrifted treasures, DIYS and gifted items. It’s very common for my 4 sisters to trade items with me.
    Thank you for sharing your home and ideas. Your channel has been an inspiration to me. ❤️

    You picked my favorite wallpaper! I love that you put your treasured piece in the dining room and the mirror is perfect. I truly ADORE the smaller dining table and chairs as well. My husband did a handyman exchange with some church friends and brought me a similar era dining buffet, table and chairs, with fruit and birds carved into the chairs. It is small, and I have a large dining room - but I have made it work, and it is just so pretty. I love your videos so much. I truly wish I could just sit in your home with you and hear all of your sweet stories. You are a gift to the world - and I think I know what makes you shine! Blessings!

    Oh! The flow is SO pleasing to my eyes! Each space draws you in but allows enough difference to make each area seem ‘special’! I have never been able to appreciate the homes that are so cohesive that they lack distinction between spaces, except for obvious furniture pieces that say ‘this is the dining room’. The wall paper was what I would’ve picked myself and your colors are warm without being too strong. Truly just lovely spaces! Now the little things that add your special personality to the dining room.❤️

    Hahaha 🤣 I loved the bloopers. Isn’t it funny how styles change. About 9 years ago wallpaper was removed from about 2000 of the 3000 square feet of this home. The walls were all textured. Even paneling was removed. I do love the transformation of your dining area. I think I’d want an area rug under the table but it really looks perfect 💕~ Janet 😘

    I think it all turned out lovely however, I think I would either center the chandelier over the table (and move the table out slightly from the wall) or I would take that chandelier and put it in the living room and remove the fan. Of course I’m looking pictures so I can’t tell if the chandelier would be too low for the living room. However, moving the table out a few inches and centering the chandelier over the table is easy job.😊

    The new smaller scale 6:58 furniture looks better but the table pushed up against the wall makes it look crowded. Maybe a rug under the table would soften the floor. The light should be centered over the table and lower. If you can’t move the light, place a longer chain on the light, put a hook on the ceiling (center of the table) and put hang it.

    Good morning everyone.
    I have thoroughly enjoyed your video this morning.
    I wanted to pass on a trick regarding recovering dining chairs.
    I am neither rich nor a good seamstress. However, I am quite good at coming up with a plan "B" when needed!😊
    I scouted round markets and car boot sales. for cushion covers and odd remnants of materials. I eventually found a set in good order. I paid about £5.00 for them.
    Once home I washed and ironed the covers. I removed each seat and placed them inside the covers (rather like changing the pillow cases on a bed) I tucked the excess material neatly underneath the seat then stapled 2 hours later---"job "sorted" (As we say in
    England).
    The Laura Ashley wall paper that you chose is very popular here. So you are right on trend.🤗
    I look forward to your next instalment.
    Best wishes.
    Kate

    Very much of a lovely improvement indeed. Good job! But, the table needs to come off the wall and become more centered in the room. I also would take the heavier wood dark stools on the breakfast nook and either paint them a lighter shade or remove them due to them being a bit to heavy and replacing them with something lighter in a stool. Perhaps with a rattan seat.

      Thank you, Miss Arlene!
      We're on the same page, the barstools are too dark, I've looked at Rattan and cane... My plan is to either give these barstools a makover or keep hunting down the perfect trio. Little by little! Our focus was on the dining room for this video. Thanks for stopping by!

    This was the first video of yours that I watched, and I was instantly hooked; I'm a new subscriber. Your voice is pleasing to listen to and you explain your design and decor choices very well. You're so fortunate to have Matt who has the tools, know-how and the ability to do the "heavy-lifting" to bring your design plan to fruition--the 2 of you make a great team! I just had all my popcorn ceilings replaced with knock-down and all but 2 rooms freshly painted--what a huge difference it makes. As much as I like the English cottage look of wallpaper, I won't have any more in my home, what a job it was spending 4 days scraping it off my small guest bathroom walls. Anyway, I really enjoy learning from your expertise. I love your channel and will keep checking back.

    In a home I had. I hired a carpet cleaner that could steam and scrub my tile. After, it looked like a new floor. I saw someone give a suggestion for floor.
    The room is just so beautiful. ❤❤

    I was just rewatching Sage Lillyman redoing her bathroom (she's in Australia) from a year ago and I thought the wallpaper looked familiar, so I came back to this video and, sure enough, she used the exact same one as you used in your dining room! She used a sage green for the bottom of the walls and the wallpaper half way up. Looks great in your house and hers!

    Good riddance to 'the Beast'! 😊
    The table and chairs are just the right scale, and fit the English country style so well.
    Hanging the mirror there, over the buffet, did SO much to the light and airy feel! Like an extra window.
    And the cherry on top was the blue and white lamp.
    (The first one disappeared.)
    I really enjoy seeing your room updates and transformations.
    Well done!
