I am Marla, and I am so honored that you've found my channel and spent some time with me! I am a crafter from the cradle (or at least age three!) and raising my five grown children has taught me a million lessons in life, including thrifting and DIY master status, haha! I hope that you will find encouragement and inspiration when you sit to have a chat with me as I share my8⁸ love of decor, crafting, vintage everything, and my love for Jesus! I absolutely love seeing your comments and responding to every one of them. God is good and I hope your life is blessed ❤

Marla I’m so glad to see you back filming and crafting. I’ve missed you terribly. God bless you and your family. Sending early Happy Resurrection Day blessings to you and your family. Love you all!✝️❤️❤️
Kathryn, I am so grateful to be back among the creative doers!! Thank you so much for your kind words and for the blessings! ❤️ 😊
Ohhh how refreshing you and your channel are!!! Your voice is soooo real and relaxing. Well done, Marla and God bless!❤
Diane, you are so kind! 😊 I really appreciate you for taking the time to let me know you enjoyed watching! 💕
I really enjoyed watching all your up cycles. This entire video was so calming. Your attitude towards crafting is so relaxing, not worrying about the outcome, but just being present in the moment. That's how I craft and it really helps relieve my anxiety when I get engrossed in a project. Thank you so much for sharing your time and talent with us; and for praying over us.❤. You won't know what to do first, Marla, when you get all your space back. What fun awaits! 😊. By the way, I covet your laundry room...I'm sorry, I just do. 😂 The decor in that room is GOALS for me! Sending early Easter blessings to you and yours.🐰🐇
I'm so looking forward to getting my things in order!! It will help soothe the fact that I won't be seeing the baby daily 😄
My laundry room is my reward for enduring the first 32 years of our marriage with 1) no washer and dryer in our home, 2) washer and dryer in the unfinished basement, 3) w/d in a tiny closet, 4) w/d in the garage. When Ben told me he would create a laundry room for me for the first time EVER in any house, he asked me to pick out all the finishes and he was willing to do ALL of my ideas! 😍 It has been such a dream come true for me! I'd say Ben exceeded my ideas. Helps me not be so mad when he does something "man-ish" 😄 🙌
Your husband did a great job on the laundry room. It’s lovely.
He worked so hard on it! And I love how it turned out. That floor brick has super irregular edges and it messed with his OCD so badly! 😄 he kept trying to make it perfect and I kept telling him it's supposed to be imperfect. I think the laundry room is the best remodel he's ever done! 👏
so glad you are back on
Thanks, Nancy! 😃 💕
I join with everyone else....I've missed you but I'm glad you're feeling well enough to do a little crafting. Your videos and prayers make me feel so (deep breath) "ahhhhhhhhhh"!!! Bless you and your family too, especially during this Easter season. xoxoxo
How sweet you are, Joan! 😊 💕
Blessings to you and your family as well! Thanks for your encouragement!
How delightful and inspiring you are! I love the comings and goings of our family & pets and news of your life. Thank you for being simply YOU in a world of people who desperately seem to want to be somebody else!
Kaitlin, so are so kind to let me know that my style of videos is what you like to hear! I never script or pre-write any narration. It's always off the cuff because I think my videos are more like a chat with friends 😊 ❤️
Marla, I so enjoyed this video. Your laundry room is so beautiful!! Thank you for sharing all these wonderful ideas!
Thank you so much, Liz! 😊
My laundry room makes it more pleasant to do laundry, but I still don't love doing laundry 😄 just decorating the laundry room!
You might already know this little tip, but if you hit those labels and stickers with the hair dryer for a few seconds they'll peel right off. You have the cleanest laundry room I've ever seen! So glad you're back. ❤
I can hardly remember to do that, but yes, it does help! 🤣 And full disclosure: the laundry room is the cleanest room in my house and the rest of the house is sadly much less clean 🙈
Welcome back!
Missed hearing your voice.
Just so you know, professional upholstery is often done using hot glue...and professional framers use double-sided tape for the paper backing...great job! Thank you so much for the prayer! 💗💗💗
Hi Cyndi! 👋😃 I did not know that professional upholsterers used hot glue but it works really well for me! I have upholstered the "right" way (chairs, couch) and it's a lot harder and takes more time. This was a quick fix and it's still doing great!
I didn't think of double sided tape for my backing, but of course that's a great idea! 👍
Love love your rabbits Marla 😊 🐇 🐰 you make such fabulous things from your thrifted items. Thank you for sharing ❤
Thanks, Dawn! If anything sits still around my house, I'll probably paint it! 😄
You have been deeply missed by little old me. God bless you and your forever growing family
Aw, this makes my heart smile 😊 ❤️
and YES, we are adding babies quickly!
Lovely ideas - the framed ring holder is so sweet - I think I will make one for my daughter. So glad you are feeling well enough to chat with us all again and share such lovely decorating ideas.
Thanks so much, Robyn! 😃 and I'm excited that you're going to do the ring holder! 💍 I've loved using mine.
Your flips videos are my favourite. Glad you are back.
Thank you so much! 💓 😊
Hi Marla, i missed you good to see you are well. I have had a rough go of it too concerning my health, only by the grace of God I am still here. Glad you feel better. Your home is so charming, and all of your crafts were awesome. Take care and God Bless you❤🥰your friend Brenda see you next time God willing 🐣
Brenda, I pray that your hard days will be few and far between, and your good days will be abundant ❤️
So happy you posted such a fun video 😊
Glad you enjoyed it, Eileen! 😃 💕
Love your creativity Marla. Thank you for the prayer. Love and blessings 🩷💙🩷
You're so welcome, Jeane! 😊 💕
I love all of your flips! Thanks for praying for me!🙏🏻🩷
My joy to pray for you, Cindy! 😊 💕
Cute crafts! I noticed to mini Lane cedar chest in one shot too. I love those.
I'm so jelly of your beautiful laundry room too.
Polly, I squealed when I found that little Lane chest for 2.99! It says Birmingham, Ala which tells me it was made before all the states abbreviations began to be just two letters. And for my laundry room, it's too pretty for the rest of my house!! 😄 I had fairly awful laundry areas for the first 32 years of our marriage, and then Ben made all my dreams come true. He turned a really tiny closet into a little room by moving the wall in toward my kitchen which is overly long. I need to do a video just about my laundry room!
I loved your video. This is my 1st time seeing your channel. I was thinking of subscribing and then when you said you wanted to pray over us and you did pray right then...... well for me that sealed the deal and I am now a subscriber! Thank you for your prayer and 1 last thing.... if I lived in your home,I would never move out. Lol.❤
Aww, so many nice things you've said! I'm very glad to meet you here, Lana, and I really appreciate you letting me know you enjoyed and subscribed. Always glad to pray for my kindred spirits 😊 💕
"If you're going to be a free spirit, you have to live with the consequences"... of paper being a hair off-center. You live dangerously Marla. LOL
This is my first viewing of your channel. I subscribed for many reasons - you're real and genuine, your voice is pleasant, and you have wonderful ideas, to name a few. Keep it up!
I'm so happy to meet you! 👋😃
And yes, I'm over here living on the edge... a hair's width of danger! 😄 you're cracking me up!! Thanks so much for subscribing! I hope to see you again here in the comments 💕
Thank you Marla for that beautiful prayer. Love all your videos. 🙏🙏🙏
I appreciate your very kind words, Raquel! 😊 💕
Your laundry 🧺 room is gorgeous 🤎🥰
Thank you, Julia! It's a small space that I can usually keep pretty, even when the rest of the house is crazy 🤪 😄
You are looking great Marla! So glad you are back and sharing your thrift hauls! God Bless!
I feel so much better! 🙌 💃
Missed you Marla! Have a wonderful and blessed Easter 💐
Oh I love your laundry room!!! Hugs sweet lady. Feel better! ✌🏼❣️🫶🏼
Thank you, Bren! 😊 💕
I JUST found you and I must say what a delight! When you talked to yourself and said, "Ok, Marla...if you're gonna be a free spirit you just have to live with the consequences," I knew I found a kindred spirit, and I immediately hit subscribe! Going to go find ALL the vids I've missed and watch until I'm all caught up.
And then you prayed! (thank you, I needed that sweet reminder of the Lord's care more than usual tonight!)
You sweet thing! 😊 I'm so glad you found my channel, and it warms my heart that you feel a kindred spirit with me! Many of us here in this channel's comment section feel the same kind of drawing toward things of the home and the heart. Welcome to the circle 💞
That framed rabbit picture was my favorite..thanks for sharing. Love from Texas ❤❤
Thank you, Susan! 😃 I think those standing white bunnies are just adorable! 🐰 🐇
Yay....I always enjoy your thrift flips ☺The first one was genius! Guess what my mom and sister are getting for their birthdays next month😂
I'm so excited you'll be making those!! 😃 I have loved using mine, and it's pretty too 😍
This was so enjoyable to watch, you have a great style which I love! Your up cycles are original which is very refreshing. And your laundry is gorgeous and I just adore the washboards on the wall...they are so hard to come by where I live!
I found the 4 washboards over a period of 3 years, not trying hard but just finding them! They're the small size, and I found them thrifting and in vendor malls. Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed my upcycles! I sure have fun doing them! 😄 🙌
Love that little plate you are using for your paint.
Thank you, Lois! I often use a paper plate, but acrylic paint washes off a real plate with no problems. Using the vintage plate seems special 😊
Great projects and decor....love everything and your laundry room is so pretty !! Take care and hope you have a great rest of the week and weekend !
Thank you, Hope! I am grateful to be past that very hard season with my symptoms flaring so badly. I am resting when I need to! 😌 💕
Just found your channel. It was wonderful. Thanks for the prayer. Have a blessed day
Nice to meet you, Lois! 👋😃
I'm so glad you enjoyed watching! I hope we can get to know one another in the comments!
I love Temu too. I purchase most of my crafting supplies from them. Excellent prices and quality.
I have been happy with about 99% of my purchases so far, in every category (crafts, costume jewelry, household, etc)
Bananarama had a song about you ! 'It aint what you do its the way that you do it.' Love listenting to you chat . So relaxing thank you and God bless.
I haven't thought of that song in years!! 😄 You always make me chuckle, Brid. Thanks for that! 💗
I love the canvas prints from Temu , everything I have got has been good . Love there crafting supplies.
I've gotten some really good stuff from Temu so far! Can't beat the price, for sure 😄
Bless you Marla. I love to watch your crafting videos. I have purchased some Temu prints and l really like them. I'm a bunny lover also. ✌❤🙏
Bunnies are the cutest! 🐰 Thank you for watching. I'm so glad you are enjoying the crafts! 😃
Love this video and really love your laundry room, Thank you for you prayer for us.
Thank you! My laundry room is my only "magazine" room in my house 😄
And you're very welcome for the prayer. My joy to pray for you ❤️
So glad to see you back on, been missing you! Love you sweetie!
Thanks, sweet Jennie! I'm glad to be back to crafting! Big hugs 💕
Hi, I'm new to your channel and I love it.
I too love a home that is lived in. Nice projects and excited for your daughter and her family to get their own home to decorate!
Hi, Kimberly! 👋😃 Nice to meet you! So glad you enjoyed my projects! I am excited to see Olivia decorate her house. It's a very old house with lots of unusual little spaces! I will try to share some of her decor projects 🌞
Very clever ring frame. Also, I have a couple of those Temu canvas prints but didn’t know what to do with them. Thank you for showing how you put them in the frame.
So glad you saw ideas you could use! Thanks for watching! 😊
I love the rings
Thank you! 💍 😊 ✨️

Hi.. New here! I just came across your channel. Your intro caught my attention..i love thrifting & antiqueing and collecting all old things!You mentioned you found that gorgeous rocking chair in Chattanooga? And what a steal! Do you live in Chat? I live in Athens and go to Chat shopping every so often. The grandbaby is precious🥰 I love the bunnies, so sweet🐰 It looked at all the beautiful vintage things on Temu, but wasn't sure if they quality was any good, thanks for letting us know, i may just make an order! The garland is so cute, love the vintage look. I was gifted a big electric fireplace this past Christmas, with cabinets on either side..i love it so much! Always wanted one and thankful for it, helps with heating too, so its a win, win! The box is so pretty, love it! Honey I'm with you on the house! My kids are grown but I have a 3yr old and a 4yr old grandbaby that lives right behind me, that in & out literally all day, plus my husband, & my cat.. nothing is ever perfect nor do i care for it to be😊 Ohhh wow.. gorgeous laundry area! And the shelf and all your vintage & antique pieces are awesome!! Love the way you've styled it all! I really enjoyed the video! And I subscribed😊
Hey Tammy! 👋 😃 So nice to meet you, and thanks for subscribing! I live in Albertville, not too far from Athens. We do go through Chattanooga a lot, since it's on our way to Hiwassee and Nantahala where my guys whitewater kayak and I camp & thrift. I was in Chattanooga that day with my daughter who was doing clinicals at Erlanger (she's a respiratory therapist). I'm so glad you enjoyed watching! Looking forward to more comments as you see my other videos!
Hello I just came across your channel and subscribed. I really enjoyed your video and your wonderful ideas to give old things new life. 💕 TFS 😊
Nice to meet you, Nancy! 👋 😃
Thanks so much for subscribing! I'm so glad you enjoyed watching! 🌸
I’m Marla too and a new Subscriber….
Loved your video!!! ♥️
Well HEY girl! 👋😄 There's not too many of us Marlas! I was named after my daddy, Marlyn. I am so glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for subscribing! 💕
Love it all ❤
Thanks, Scarlet! 😃
Well if THAT is not just the CUTEST laundry room EVER!! Any updates coming on the “she shed”?
Thank you, Nan! 😃 I super enjoy dolling up my laundry room. Glad you like what we've done!
Our shed progress has been on hold for over 6 months, but we are really wanting to get back to it with the warmer weather. We got it to the point it could serve its most vital purpose, to hold my belongings shifted out of my house so my daughter & her husband & baby could live with us for a year. They're now moving out, and it will give us our space back inside the house. Hoping to have a new episode very soon!
Nice work
Thanks! 😃
