    When my husband passed away 1 1/2 yrs ago I lost interest in my home and yard. I’ve been binge watching your UA-cam channel and also White Cottage channel recently and you’ve inspired me and motivated me to get back to creating a welcoming and inviting home. Thank you!! I’ve gotten wonderful ideas/projects from you. I can’t wait to go thrifting and antiquing again. ❤😊

    Every time I watch your thrift videos, I think of the saying “use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without.” You make magic out of odds and ends. I love the fairy door because I’m a sucker for fairies but I really like everything!

    I always love outdoor DIYs. Living in a colder climate, I get excited starting to see outdoor videos. So many of the UA-cam artists I watch are in southern states, so watching people do outdoor patio shows make me happy and dreaming of the summer months.

    I love all your ideas! I especially love how you add in what to do to make them last longer. I live in Arizona and have noticed how much the intense sun wears on things so much in just one summer. Very helpful to hear about how long your projects last and to also see how you reuse them when that happens🥰

      Thank you! I don’t know if my hubby “appreciates” what I do, but he lets me do whatever I want. If you’ve seen last year’s bedroom makeover, he wasn’t happy when I removed his coat rack, so I brought it back. He so rarely expresses an opinion about decor, so if he needs a coat rack, he can have it.

    What a pretty and inviting space you've created. I love the caged fern in particular. Can't wait to see what new projects you have for your patio this year. Have the birds been using the feeders, nesting boxes and bath? I'd love to see what kind of birds you get if you can film some. Sadly I have no garden here but I did pot up two raised planters outside the communal entrance to the flats last year. I used hardy succulents which amazingly did survive the winter and have now taken off at a pace. Fingers crossed they should end up trailing over the sides in the coming warmer months!

I have a front covered porch that goes all the way across the front. When it storms it does get hit from the side and pretty hard, depending on the wind! If storms are predicted I usually try to move things closer to the wall to protect them somewhat. Love the ideas you come up with and it does get the mind flowing with my own thoughts of what I can do! I also love the wood box, because that is something I need. Thanks for the inspiration!
