It is so nice to see a Thanksgiving video. I loathe Christmas decor of any kind prior to Thanksgiving. I never understood the desire to rush the season. Oct is for Halloween, November is for Thanksgiving and Dec is for Christmas. They all have merit.
Thank you for keeping Thanksgiving at Sugarwood I simply love the music that runs through your video. It makes your setting have a Medieval theme… which I love. Thanks Linda 🍂🌼🧡🥧🍂 Please list the music source/name.
Love the tree! I am one of the die hard “do not decorate until after Thanksgiving” people. Your style of decorating from nature is so much more elegant and and challenging. Dang, woman, nothing stops you! Rewire the chandelier, rearrange a room full of furniture. I wish I had your determination and stamina!
I love that you have fall decor for Thanksgiving. I think fall decor lends itself to Thanksgiving so much better than Christmas decorations. Everything looks amazing!
Linda, your home is so lovely. You make everything so special for your family. I really appreciate your channel and have learned so many things from you over the last year. Thank you.. and may the love of Christ Jesus and the hope of His soon return.. fill your heart and your home this holiday season and always.
“No one is more determined than a woman rearranging furniture by herself.” I just finished flipping our rooms for the holidays so I can extend our table for 12 chairs. The week before is a fantastic idea for our grown children that live out of town and state. A great idea for next year. Thanks for sharing it!
I love how you set up for your Thanksgiving meal with your family. I would also like to thank you for staying in the moment and not jumping into Christmas decorating as early as others. Your house is turning into your home. Hope you have a blessed Thanksgiving.
You are amazing and unafraid to tackle jobs involving electricity! I would have left the star light over the table and not even thought about changing it. The idea of a “fall” indoor tree with elements from your yard is a lovely idea. Everything looks lovely, and I’m sure your family will enjoy their time together.
Linda, I am happy to watch the transformations in your new home and I do not cease to admire you, you have many skills...you are a designer, a builder, an electrician, a gardener, a cook, you have so much talent...delighted!
Love this video! Can’t believe how quickly you have made this such a cozy and beautiful home- looks like you have been living in Sugarwood for years! Am looking forward to all you will show and teach us- in your creative, tasteful and classy way!😊❤️thankyou!
I can feel how your house is becoming a home. Thank you for all of the beauty and practical teachings you share all year long. The world is a bit chaotic and I can always rely on your videos to bring calm and beauty into my morning. I am looking forward to your Christmas ideas!!!
Such a thoughtful thing to do having an early Thanksgiving. I suggested this to my mother in law and family without success. Traveling on the holiday is so dangerous and stressful and being able to create my own traditions has been difficult.
I must say. I loved that house before you moved in. But since you’ve been there, making it your own, it is so much more soft and elegant. I know you still have work to do. But, what you’ve done so far is awe-inspiring. And, thank you for all of the wonderful “Willow footage”. 😊
I am enjoying watching you create a new home in the gorgeous new space. Live the idea of a thanksgiving tree. Never thought of spray painting dried flowers and foliage. 🦃🧡 thank you for the great idea!
Excellent video. Not only do we get a true Thanksgiving video in November (thank you for holding off on Christmas like some of the rest of us), but we learned how to wire a light fixture. That's something I needed to know. Happy Thanksgiving, Linda. Enjoy your time with family.
Sugarwood is just beautiful - I love experiencing New England in the fall on your channel. Watching you journal at 5:30 am makes me wonder what time you go to sleep at night!
The tree is beautiful. To me that is a Christmas tree as I always decorate with what nature has to offer… it’s gorgeous! Sugarwood …wow what a home; it’s magnificent, enjoy. As your other followers have said, thank you for celebrating Thanksgiving. 🤎🥧🧡🦃💛
I love enjoying each holiday for it's uniqueness. In the past few years Christmas has inched closer & closer toward Thanksgiving, with 2020-2021 seemingly intent on skipping Thanksgiving all together. I'm glad to see you enjoying this beautiful autumn holiday and soaking in every drop of fall left before winter sets in. I am definitely kindred spirit. Love the new house and the idea of a Thanksgiving tree. Best wishes to you and your family. Thank you for the Video.
I agree on the holidays. I stick to appreciating each holiday in its own right and blessing. I like to savor each one for what it was meant to be. To me, Thanksgiving “is” Thanksgiving, “not” Christmas. It is a time to celebrate our blessings, remember our history and our own family’s journey . I love each holiday’s individual decorations colors, seasons beauty and special foods. I love the time and reflection and the anticipation for the coming Christmas that it brings. Beautiful Home, you are truly blessed. So much talent.
I am so excited to see you doing Thanksgiving, Linda!!!💖 You are such a little dynamo making the house your very own, oozing with an autumnal Thanksgiving atmosphere - absolutely exquisite!!! Love your tree💖. I knew the chandelier would light, but still let out a little squeal with your success😉. Like you, our family has celebrated "Early Thanksgiving" for twenty five+ years now! Initially to gather extended family, too, the plan then served us well as kids married and grandchildren came along💝. I love that you do the same🧓!! Chuckled when you spoke of putting desserts up high. One year, our four-yr-old grandson managed to eat six brownies and leave some chocolate finger prints on the wall!! Mommy and G'ma weren't keeping an eye, while we were all visiting lol!!! Thank you so much for sharing your Thanksgiving plans with us! 🤗🤗🤗 -Susan
Hello Linda! Your home is beautiful! I greatly appreciate your sentiments regarding “not rushing the seasons “ for me, decorating for the season is one of the many ways we can bring attention to the season & what it represents. It creates a visual reminder of what we are celebrating & why adding decor helps set the seasons apart distinguishing it from the everyday! Happy thanksgiving to you and your family.
Linda, you are wonder woman! Refined but earthy, smart, savvy yet vulnerable. What's not to love and admire. It is so kind & understanding to hold your Thanksgiving ahead of tradition to make it easier for family members to gather, relax & enjoy time spent. You & your husband are transforming "Sugarwood" into the grand lady she is meant to be. Thanks for letting us tag along. Happy Thanksgiving!!
I love the spray painted hydrangeas. I have several bushes and would never thought of doing that. Thank you for sharing your ideas and giving us all inspiration. Your family must be looking forward to Thanksgiving in your new home and celebrating a week earlier certainly takes the pressure off.
I certainly agree with all the others and you regarding taking one day at a time and living in the moment. Thank you for letting us enjoy each holiday and its own time without rushing ahead to the next one. Our society has become so rushed never really enjoying what is before them. Sugarwood is certainly coming together with all of your special little Linda touches that you do. Will enjoy watching you over the months ahead as you make it yours more and more. Happy Thanksgiving!😊🍁🌻
The house looks so cozy and inviting. Thank you so much for inviting us into your home😀 and educating us with home decor, crafty projects and home improvement projects.
I wonder if people realize that commercialism is setting the the pace for early Christmas. Stores want to get to the big spending as soon as possible. Living in the moment allows us to savor all the good things God has given us, without any push to acquire more. Thanks for the great idea of celebrating early to lessen the rush for family members.
That Fall tree is a stunner. I still love the traditional colonial decor I grew up with, but I redecorated in modern farmhouse and love that too. The Colonial theme plays especially well with me during the Winter holidays, probably because it reminds me of my childhood 🥰 SET AN EXTRA PLACE FOR ME 👍🏻
I just love the great room Linda, you will have a wonderful thanksgiving I’m sure! It’ll be even more beautiful when you have finished decorating it, can’t wait to see it!
What I like about your house is that not everything is stark white! There is lots of contrast between the rich dark woods and then lighter colors on the walls. It makes it more interesting and much cozier! Plus, the natural elements and your taste in furniture add alot of class. Looks great - Keep it up!!
The house is absolutely cozy. You are an electrician too ♥️. I just love the way everything looks. The great room is amazing ...it will be like visiting an old Inn for Thanksgiving how fabulous. Side note Linda, I bought the battery candles for all over my house and love them. Thank you so much for sharing all you know and your many talents. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁🍽
I really appreciate your taking the time to honor the Thanksgiving holiday. Even though I realzie that the typical Thanksgiving story has been altered to gloss over the horrible things which happened to the native people, I so much enjoy this holiday with an emphasis on being thankful for the abundance in our lives. Unfortunately retailers downplay this holiday for economic reasons and I find this unfortunate. Wishing you a wonderful time with your family!
Everything looks great! I get up at 6AM and it's all I can do to get myself and the kids out the door. Wish I had enough motivation to do something like journaling in the morning. I've always believed that either you're a morning person or your not. Enjoy your first Thanksgiving in your beautiful new home Linda!
You are AMAZING-WIRING is yet ANOTHER skill in your toolbox 🧰!! I LOVE the idea of using the Great Room there is SO much space in there for everyone and even comfy chairs when someone might need to take a break! I especially loved when you clapped after the chandelier wiring was completed-I was clapping and excited for you before I saw your hands clapping 👏!! Everything is moving along nicely, what a fortunate man your husband is in talented you!!! Happy Thanksgiving Linda, I am SO thankful I have discovered you and your channel! 🦃🍁
Thank you so much for Keeping your fall and Thanksgiving Decor up and being in the moment! Fall is my favorite season and Thanksgiving my favorite holiday! I love your tree and how you honor the season!
Your home is absolutely beautiful I also love and look forward to watching your videos. You have inspired me to do a Thanksgiving tree and it came out beautiful hubs loves it too. I find when I’m not home to light it in when it gets dark out he has already done that for me 🧡 Happy Thanksgiving to you and everyone on this channel, enjoy 🦃
I'm loving all your ideas. I didn't think you could find a house to top the one you sold, but I love this house. The natural elements on the tree are beautiful.
Linda, Love living in the moment... Thank you. I don’t decorate for Christmas until after Thanksgiving, call it a tradition.🍁 Love your Thanksgiving tree it’s beautiful.. I love Queen Bess.. You have such a great eye for decorating. Happy Thanksgiving my friend.🦃 Can’t wait to see what you have bought for Sugar wood.
Lovely Linda! Ty for sharing. Yes, living in the moment is lovely and I need to do to stay grounded and to slow down. Appreciate you showing your Thanksgiving preparations. Your new home is starting to feel cozy and like 'home'. So happy for you. Glad you shoo-ed Willow away when spraying with paint fumes. Your kitchen/ room set up with table in center, tree, hutch and chandelier, is so beautiful. I like the arrangement of everything in both rooms. The garland over the fire place mantel as well with the naturals materials sprayed with those colors is so pretty. I'm throughly enjoying your new home with ideas and projects. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
I have multiple Christmas trees but only did a thanksgiving tree once. Those natural elements really made the tree. I may do that this year since I will have guests for the first time.
Thanks for sharing Linda. I loved this video … the music, your voice… it’s all so relaxing. I enjoy watching the preparations before the special day arrives. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Linda, You have an abundance of talent and creativity. This was one of my favorite of your videos! Your family will have a warm and wonderful Thanksgiving, and Sugarwood is being loved and celebrated for the Grande Dame that she is.
It is so interesting watching your ideas come together. The great room is a wonderful place to set up your tables for your thanksgiving. Your tree and garland are beautiful. The flowers you sprayed were the perfect touch. I loved learning how you put up your chandelier. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Enjoy your peaceful home and day. Thank you.
I sat down so very tired from all my housework today and I have become so relaxed ...watching, listening and enjoying your video visit today. I love your new home!!!! It already is one!!!! Thank you👵🏡🦋
I love how you’re able to use cuttings from your garden to decorate. The only item that I can forage is pine cones because my yard is filled with evergreen drought resistant plants, since I am in CA.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate this video!! I was really disappointed when all I've been watching is Christmas/Holiday videos for the past few days . . just skipping right over Thanksgiving :( Just wonderful!! Thank you for such a nice video and the house looks fabulous :) ! Sorry for the edit I forgot to add how gorgeous the Thanksgiving Tree Is!
I am amazed how organized and settled in you already are into your new home. When we moved in to our current home, I wouldn't think of entertaining for months as there was so much to do. You are amazing!
Love your home and your style. Although I'm looking forward to your Christmas videos, I'm delighted to see you enjoying the fall and Thanksgiving season. Blessings to you and your family.
I cannot tell you how much I enjoy you and your channel. Your home is amazing. I am having a ball watching you add your personal touches to each space. Your guests will feel so welcomed when they arrive. Thx for sharing, sweet friend! 🦃🍽🍁
Linda, you home is looking so festive and beautiful. When I think of you working with hydrangeas, it reminds me of my youngest brother John, who died, at 63. He had gorgeous hydrangeas in his front yard. He always picked a big box after drying them, and send them to me! Some I still have. All good memories of a sweet brother. Thank for sharing your new home with us! 💕🍂🍁
Beautiful Tree! You are doing such a great job making this your home in such a short amount of time! Everything is looking wonderful and I enjoy watching all the changes!
I absolutely love your channel, been a long-time subscriber and I never get tired of watching your videos. They’re always so informative, relaxing and very inspirational. I’m glad you don’t mix up the holidays too, I always wait till the day after thanksgiving to take down my fall decor and start putting up my Christmas decorations. I’m 74 and still look forward to decorating for the holidays, my friends are all doing less and less each year but I seem to be doing more and more 😂. I’ve been thrifting for the past 50 years and have some really great finds. Thank you for all you do and best of luck and good health at Sugarwood; looking forward to seeing more of you and Sugarwood ❤️
A great idea to have Thanksgiving a week before. I have mine the weekend after and serve nontraditional food since everyone is tired of turkey by then. Next year, I think I will try it your way so I can enjoy Thanksgiving longer before rushing into Christmas.
I love your channel. So many practical ideas for decorating, gardening, cooking, etc. I think I will leave the electrical work to the experts. We have an interior home painting project underway and my husband is changing out all of the outlets and we are also replacing the switch-plates. In the process of moving the hutch in my country kitchen, it required removing three of the drawers in order for two big men to move it! I guess it's time to clean it out of items I don't need or use any longer. Off to Goodwill with donations! Keep up the videos, Linda. I am totally inspired!!
Love the idea of using your Great Room, it will be perfect! And you tree turned out so beautiful! I look forward to each of your videos, always inspiring and educational!!!
Southern Living couldn't hold a candle to you. Beautiful! Nature was more valuable to you than money. A very comfortable, warm, inviting atmosphere. So was the menu as equally inviting. I love it! 🍂🍁HAPPY THANKSGIVING!🍁🍂
Your new home is looking absolutely beautiful. I love how you have things set up for your Thanksgiving. Linda, you are a master of all things. You amaze me at all the things you do around your home . Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family .
Thank you for another great video! Your home is coming together. It just radiates warmth. Thank you especially for focusing on Thanksgiving. I noticed also that everyone else is already decorated for Christmas and I personally was disappointed. I really love Thanksgiving and your video was so enjoyable. I felt like I was decorating with a friend and you have inspired me to do a Thanksgiving tree this year. Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful Autumn decorating! I,too, have all my fall decorating still in place. This is my favorite time of year so I want to enjoy it for as long as possible. Christmas will come out after Thanksgiving. I hope you have a wonderful time with your family.
i'm enjoying watching you make your new house into your home. The Thanksgiving tree is stunning! Everything looks so beautiful and I love how you find a perfect place for everything. Will we be seeing your Thanksgiving tablescape? I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner!! Looking forward to your Christmas decor.
Sliders from Home Depot are great for moving heavy furniture and they save your floors from getting scratched. Now that, I’m 70 I use anything that, makes my life easier to clean. 😊😊
Absolutely lovely what you have accomplished in your new home in such a short time. How beautifully you display (and use) the things you have collected over the years. Can sense the calm and peaceful atmosphere around Sugarwood inside and out. Your video has lifted my spirits. Writing this comment, noticed that there are only likes---which is exactly as it should be. Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you, thank you for not rushing us into Christmas. I sometimes feel pressured into keeping up with you tube folks to decorate so early. I, like you, like to live in and enjoy the moment. Have a very blessed Thanksgiving and thank you for sharing your lovely home.
Your dining room is so Enchanting & Beautiful! The chandelier looks like the finishing touch in the room! Just love your decorating touches! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁
Beautiful job! I was born in Massachusetts, I understand a New Englander. That's correct hold off on Christmas, enjoy Thanksgiving first! Me too 🥰🍂🍁🙌👩💻🏡
So glad you did another Thanksgiving video. Your tree is beautiful along with your home. So cozy. Nothing more cozy and warm than a New England Thanksgiving. 🦃🍁🍂
Thank you so much for sharing Thanksgiving. Everyone always skips this holiday for decorating. Your house is getting so cozy. Thank you and happy Thanksgiving to you and your family ❤🤗
It is so nice to see a Thanksgiving video. I loathe Christmas decor of any kind prior to Thanksgiving. I never understood the desire to rush the season. Oct is for Halloween, November is for Thanksgiving and Dec is for Christmas. They all have merit.
So glad you are not skipping over Thanksgiving……I hope you continue to give us Thanksgiving ideas in the coming years!
Thank you for keeping Thanksgiving at Sugarwood
I simply love the music that
runs through your video.
It makes your setting have a Medieval theme… which I love.
Thanks Linda 🍂🌼🧡🥧🍂

Thank you so much and you're welcome!
I love that you have fall decor for Thanksgiving. I think fall decor lends itself to Thanksgiving so much better than Christmas decorations. Everything looks amazing!
Linda, your home is so lovely. You make everything so special for your family. I really appreciate your channel and have learned so many things from you over the last year. Thank you.. and may the love of Christ Jesus and the hope of His soon return.. fill your heart and your home this holiday season and always.
Thank you thank you for not skipping Thanksgiving!!!!🥰🥰🥰
This is the one sight I just can’t wait to see every week. Just such beautiful things to see and love the decorations. Thank you….
“No one is more determined than a woman rearranging furniture by herself.” I just finished flipping our rooms for the holidays so I can extend our table for 12 chairs.

Just beautiful and warm and cozy! I too am happy that u r living in the moment and haven’t put Christmas up yet.

Where did you learn to be so handy and knowledgeable about repairs that you tackle? Electrical, doors, fireplace, you amaze me!
I just get goosebumps watching the metamorphosis of sugarwood. Just beautiful!
I am enjoying watching you create a new home in the gorgeous new space. Live the idea of a thanksgiving tree. Never thought of spray painting dried flowers and foliage. 🦃🧡 thank you for the great idea!
Excellent video. Not only do we get a true Thanksgiving video in November (thank you for holding off on Christmas like some of the rest of us), but we learned how to wire a light fixture. That's something I needed to know. Happy Thanksgiving, Linda. Enjoy your time with family.
I love the way you get things done. You find a way to make it happen--furniture moving, electrical work--way to go girl.
Sugarwood is just beautiful - I love experiencing New England in the fall on your channel. Watching you journal at 5:30 am makes me wonder what time you go to sleep at night!
Hi Pam, most nights around 10:00am or so, but I also have insomnia, so I sometimes stay up later with hopes of sleeping 4 to 5 hours.
The tree is beautiful. To me that is a Christmas tree as I always decorate with what nature has to offer… it’s gorgeous! Sugarwood …wow what a home; it’s magnificent, enjoy. As your other followers have said, thank you for celebrating Thanksgiving. 🤎🥧🧡🦃💛

I love your calm demeanor while demonstrating the wiring, I would have been anxious.
You've created the most beautiful and inventive Thanksgiving decor I've ever seen. Thank you--you've inspired me.
The house looks so cozy and inviting. Thank you so much for inviting us into your home😀 and educating us with home decor, crafty projects and home improvement projects.

We have Thanksgiving and Christmas the week before, just like you so our grown children can make their own traditions., love what you share!

Yay someone like me that has a Thanksgiving tree and cherish the holiday without rushing the next one!
Your home is absolutely beautiful I also love and look forward to watching your videos. You have inspired me to do a Thanksgiving tree and it came out beautiful hubs loves it too. I find when I’m not home to light it in when it gets dark out he has already done that for me 🧡
Happy Thanksgiving to you and everyone on this channel, enjoy 🦃
I do soooo agree with the "live in the moment" philosophy.
I'm loving all your ideas. I didn't think you could find a house to top the one you sold, but I love this house. The natural elements on the tree are beautiful.
Linda, Love living in the moment... Thank you. I don’t decorate for Christmas until after Thanksgiving, call it a tradition.🍁 Love your Thanksgiving tree it’s beautiful.. I love Queen Bess.. You have such a great eye for decorating. Happy Thanksgiving my friend.🦃 Can’t wait to see what you have bought for Sugar wood.
Hope your first Thanksgiving is a wonderful family time making new memories in you new home it's lovely
Thank you Shari! I’m looking forward to this new adventure
Lovely Linda! Ty for sharing. Yes, living in the moment is lovely and I need to do to stay grounded and to slow down. Appreciate you showing your Thanksgiving preparations.

I love how warm your home is. I always wait until after Thanksgiving to put out Christmas decorations. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing Linda. I loved this video … the music, your voice… it’s all so relaxing. I enjoy watching the preparations before the special day arrives. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Thank you Linda, you too!
Living in the moment is key!
Linda, You have an abundance of talent and creativity. This was one of my favorite of your videos! Your family will have a warm and wonderful Thanksgiving, and Sugarwood is being loved and celebrated for the Grande Dame that she is.
It is so interesting watching your ideas come together. The great room is a wonderful place to set up your tables for your thanksgiving. Your tree and garland are beautiful. The flowers you sprayed were the perfect touch. I loved learning how you put up your chandelier. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Enjoy your peaceful home and day. Thank you.
Linda, you and your husband are so considerate having Thanksgiving early. It can be a total nightmare bouncing between families on these holiday days.
Beautiful! Thanks Lisa for all the inspiration. Your home is as beautiful as you.
I sat down so very tired from all my housework today and I have become so relaxed ...watching, listening and enjoying your video visit today. I love your new home!!!! It already is one!!!! Thank you👵🏡🦋
Love all of your decorations, your music and instructions on how to create the looks!
I love how you’re able to use cuttings from your garden to decorate. The only item that I can forage is pine cones because my yard is filled with evergreen drought resistant plants, since I am in CA.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate this video!! I was really disappointed when all I've been watching is Christmas/Holiday videos for the past few days . . just skipping right over Thanksgiving :( Just wonderful!! Thank you for such a nice video and the house looks fabulous :) ! Sorry for the edit I forgot to add how gorgeous the Thanksgiving Tree Is!
Your home is looking so warm & inviting already!! You’ve done so much already!! I hope you enjoy your first Thanksgiving at Sugarwood! 🧡🦃🤎
I am amazed how organized and settled in you already are into your new home. When we moved in to our current home, I wouldn't think of entertaining for months as there was so much to do. You are amazing!
Love your home and your style. Although I'm looking forward to your Christmas videos, I'm delighted to see you enjoying the fall and Thanksgiving season. Blessings to you and your family.
I cannot tell you how much I enjoy you and your channel. Your home is amazing. I am having a ball watching you add your personal touches to each space. Your guests will feel so welcomed when they arrive. Thx for sharing, sweet friend! 🦃🍽🍁
Thank you Liz! Likewise!
Linda, you home is looking so festive and beautiful. When I think of you working with hydrangeas, it reminds me of my youngest brother John, who died, at 63. He had gorgeous hydrangeas in his front yard. He always picked a big box after drying them, and send them to me! Some I still have. All good memories of a sweet brother. Thank for sharing your new home with us! 💕🍂🍁
What a wonderful memory. Thank you for sharing!
Beautiful Tree! You are doing such a great job making this your home in such a short amount of time! Everything is looking wonderful and I enjoy watching all the changes!
I absolutely love your channel, been a long-time subscriber and I never get tired of watching your videos. They’re always so informative, relaxing and very inspirational. I’m glad you don’t mix up the holidays too, I always wait till the day after thanksgiving to take down my fall decor and start putting up my Christmas decorations. I’m 74 and still look forward to decorating for the holidays, my friends are all doing less and less each year but I seem to be doing more and more 😂. I’ve been thrifting for the past 50 years and have some really great finds. Thank you for all you do and best of luck and good health at Sugarwood; looking forward to seeing more of you and Sugarwood ❤️
Enjoy!
A great idea to have Thanksgiving a week before. I have mine the weekend after and serve nontraditional food since everyone is tired of turkey by then. Next year, I think I will try it your way so I can enjoy Thanksgiving longer before rushing into Christmas.
Absolutely beautiful Linda. What a perfect room to have Thanksgiving dinner in 😊🍽🦃.
I love your channel. So many practical ideas for decorating, gardening, cooking, etc. I think I will leave the electrical work to the experts. We have an interior home painting project underway and my husband is changing out all of the outlets and we are also replacing the switch-plates. In the process of moving the hutch in my country kitchen, it required removing three of the drawers in order for two big men to move it! I guess it's time to clean it out of items I don't need or use any longer. Off to Goodwill with donations! Keep up the videos, Linda. I am totally inspired!!
Love the idea of using your Great Room, it will be perfect! And you tree turned out so beautiful! I look forward to each of your videos, always inspiring and educational!!!
Southern Living couldn't hold a candle to you. Beautiful! Nature was more valuable to you than money. A very comfortable, warm, inviting atmosphere. So was the menu as equally inviting. I love it!
🍂🍁HAPPY THANKSGIVING!🍁🍂
Absolutely beautiful. Your guests will feel so warm and cozy.....
Your new home is looking absolutely beautiful. I love how you have things set up for your Thanksgiving. Linda, you are a master of all things. You amaze me at all the things you do around your home . Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family .
Thank you for another great video! Your home is coming together. It just radiates warmth. Thank you especially for focusing on Thanksgiving. I noticed also that everyone else is already decorated for Christmas and I personally was disappointed. I really love Thanksgiving and your video was so enjoyable. I felt like I was decorating with a friend and you have inspired me to do a Thanksgiving tree this year. Happy Thanksgiving!
Your home looks so welcoming and warm! What every homemaker strives for! Happy Thanksgiving! Hugs🌸
I love the idea of spray painting the flowers.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful Autumn decorating! I,too, have all my fall decorating still in place. This is my favorite time of year so I want to enjoy it for as long as possible. Christmas will come out after Thanksgiving. I hope you have a wonderful time with your family.
i'm enjoying watching you make your new house into your home. The Thanksgiving tree is stunning! Everything looks so beautiful and I love how you find a perfect place for everything. Will we be seeing your Thanksgiving tablescape? I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner!! Looking forward to your Christmas decor.
The great room set up is absolutely beautiful. Actually, it’s magical. Enjoy Thanksgiving with your family.
Sliders from Home Depot are great for moving heavy furniture and they save your floors from getting scratched. Now that, I’m 70 I use anything that, makes my life easier to clean. 😊😊
You have captured the best of the season. Your home is cozy, beautiful and festive .. most of all peaceful. Hope you enjoy your new environment.
Your choice of music is perfectly lovely. Such good taste. 💙
Absolutely lovely what you have accomplished in your new home in such a short time. How beautifully you display (and use) the things you have collected over the years. Can sense the calm and peaceful atmosphere around Sugarwood inside and out. Your video has lifted my spirits. Writing this comment, noticed that there are only likes---which is exactly as it should be. Happy Thanksgiving!
Oh Linda! How beautiful, how elegant and yet, so welcoming and comforting. You Rock,. Makes me yearn for my former historic home in New England.
Thank you, thank you for not rushing us into Christmas. I sometimes feel pressured into keeping up with you tube folks to decorate so early. I, like you, like to live in and enjoy the moment. Have a very blessed Thanksgiving and thank you for sharing your lovely home.
Your dining room is so Enchanting & Beautiful! The chandelier looks like the finishing touch in the room! Just love your decorating touches! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁
Such a smart idea more people and myself also should do this
Cozy, beautiful and classic. My favorites!
Nothing like a New England Thanksgiving......officially homesick. ❤️ Best to you and yours, kindred spirit! ❤️
Beautiful job! I was born in Massachusetts, I understand a New Englander. That's correct hold off on Christmas, enjoy Thanksgiving first! Me too 🥰🍂🍁🙌👩💻🏡
So glad you did another Thanksgiving video.
Your tree is beautiful along with your home.
So cozy. Nothing more cozy and warm than a New England Thanksgiving. 🦃🍁🍂
Thank you so much for sharing Thanksgiving. Everyone always skips this holiday for decorating. Your house is getting so cozy. Thank you and happy Thanksgiving to you and your family ❤🤗
