    When people take issue over what I do in my home and it doesn’t impact them, I think “okay, which part of the mortgage do you want to start paying. I love that you make your home fit you and your family and when your needs change, you change it. It’s inspiring and fun

    I just started watching and had to stop and comment before I continue watching. Please stop apologizing for things you love to do and have in YOUR home. The people behind the keyboards that try to crush peoples spirts are not worth your energy. The ones of us who love and appreciate ALL the videos you share are the only ones you have to worry about. The rest are well I’m going to be nice and say trolls. We love you Sophia. Stop letting them have headspace. ❤️

    Don't ever apologize for doing what you love. I LOVE ❤️ that you SAVE these items from the landfill and give them a new life. Please continue to show and educate us on these vintage items. 🙏

    Sofia - it doesn't matter if you ARE the only one (you're not)! You enjoy life and you share it with us. I look so forward to your videos. You always share details about the items you find. My house doesn't look like the trendy farmhouse look. I'm okay with that. I love my house and it brings me joy. I rotate stuff all the time. Haters are going to hate!! They need to get on a slow boat to China and not come back. lol

    I too love the vintage pieces. Wish I had a house big enough so I could put vintage furniture in it ----I do have one bedroom set that's vintage & a few pieces here & there through the house. I do have a lot of kitchen things handed down to me. Got a new thrift store in my area but not checked it out -----wish me luck!!!!! LOL

    This was such a fun and informative video ,Sophia. I loved when you said “This is my boat!” People need to get their own boat. I feel bad that you have to keep explaining yourself to people. You are such a genuine and kind person.
    Again loving the hair and make up. You inspired me this week to “do my face”. I don’t work outside the home... but thought hey, do something with yourself. “Make an effort”like Sofia says! So thank you for that.
    Love all your finds! I did not know the unmarked hand painted plates were housewives attempts at artwork for the home. Very nice!
    ... and to think, nowadays women hot glue plastic spoons together from dollar tree and hang those on the door! 🤣🤣
    Have a great week!

    Sophia, some great finds!! I really appreciate when you explain some of the research you have done because I love learning about all those things too. Those plates were beautiful!! The places here are not so great in finding some really good things but I have come across a few things and researching about each item is definitely the most fun!! I absolutely love your home and thank you for this video it was nice having a chit chat with you.
