    Linda I also love toile and it doesn’t matter if you don’t match it’s beautiful. I could actually live in your butler’s pantry lol. I have my blue Spode plates hanging above the window in my dining room and every time I look up they make me smile. I look forward to your videos on Sunday morning as I have my coffee and step into another world, thank you

      I agree! So many of us live in houses, ordinary spaces with painted surfaces. When you have this element of beautiful and special wood here and there it is exceptional. I love most everything our Miss Linda does, but I also think the shot of the primary bedroom from before, looked more elegant, snuggly, and grounded than it does presently, but that’s just me😜

    Just a hint about bringing in pine cones from the outdoors. You would be wise to boil them in water first to void off getting any insects or unwanted Critters coming into your home. You will be amazed at what comes out. Hope this helps! Love what you have done!❤❤

      You can also seal pine cones in a big zippered plastic bag for a week or two. This “quarantine” will evict most if not all of the unwelcome passengers.

For the last 13 years live in a condo and still decorate and change things to keep it updated like recently replacing my dark brown busy looking granite countertop to an off white quartz which changed the room immensely, just fun since I love my home to look charming and inviting. Again your home is charming!!! Carole❤

    Excellent advice about focussing on what we HAVE done, not what we Haven't (yet!) accomplished. This really comes into play as you get older---I used to do 5 hours of labor on my house/garden/whatever & at the end feel a satisfying sort of tiredness. Now, it's an hour, 1/2 hour & I'm exhausted & achy, feeling frustrated b/c it's so hard to complete tasks (I have a little paint job to finish the kitchen from about 4 YEARS ago---it's the toe-kick & I can't crawl on the floor any more!). But it's a good reminder to focus on what I did do & be grateful that I have the means to hire someone to do the rest!!

May I suggest you take one of the lids to a good hardware store or possibly a kitchen store and see if they have "rubber replacement rings" that will fit either the lid or the base and serve as a seal.

When I saw the Federal mirror in the living room, I had to giggle because I recently acquired an almost identical mirror...Miller Studio plasterware...for about $20. It's in my grandsons' room completing a naval hero theme. I can't decide whether to paint it or leave as is.

I have been searching for a similar set of battery operated candles with flickering wicks like those you have next to your sink. Do you recall where you bought them? The only ones I can find have wicks that don’t move. I did see some online at Pottery Barn but they are crazy expensive here in Canada.
