I love this ! All the books with the fireplace going in the background! I also love your tapestry throw pillows with tassels on the bed! Hobby lobby is a great pace to find florals and foliage when they are on sale. You did a great job on the greenery arrangement!❤
Both lamps work, but the new one is stunning! And it gives off a fantastic cozy glow. I’m team New Lamp 😊 I think it’s nice to mix it up a little with the background, but I’ve said before I really like when you film in the dining room.
Indie lying in the mess is so adorable! I like the new background but cannot decide on a lamp for your bedroom, I like them both and think I like the new one better! Also you showed the top of your bed with the the lamp your using now but not with the new one so I can’t tell without a wider view.
Chris, it was very nice to meet you at your booth space today. When you questioned about the lamp, my mind went blank! This particular video didn't pop up on my feed until this afternoon! That lamp is a keeper. Your eyes glistened when you twice showed it! Although smaller, its wider and the colors pop and look complimentary to your bed throw pillows. Thank for your many teaching moments!
I so enjoyed today's vlog. I love the converted oil lamp. It picks up the warmth of the rest of the room and seems better balanced in the space. The greenery arrangements look very nice, also. Will the air compressor be a working one? It's pretty cool and would be great to have it working when it's needed. What a handsome son you have. Will he be graduating in the Spring? Thank you for sharing your beautiful kitties again. I love seeing them. Looking forward to your next vlog. 😊
I love the new view this morning, mainly because of the cold weather - is a winter warm scene!! The lamp is fabulous!!! And shade so clean - what a find!!!💕
You're so right - it's nice to find a nice, clean shade on a thrifted lamp. So many times they're damaged or stained in some way. I'm glad you liked the new background!
Good idea to change the backdrop of your videos. You have so many unique items in your home. Great to showcase them. I like both lamps in the bedroom, but the newest thrift find seems to fit perfectly due to the round base & the round table. You can always use a book light when reading in bed. I see your kitties have a great interest in antiquing also. They seem to accessorize your bed & table in such a cute way! Thank you for sharing your passion of thrifting. It’s educational & relaxing for me.
Haha! The kitties love to pose for the camera! I'm glad you liked the change in background and the pretty new lamp. And I'm especially happy to hear that you enjoy the videos - thank you for letting me know!
❤Ktis Absolutely love your a small hall. I would say you should keep that lamp. Use it in the Spring and summer and switch out to the other one for the fall. In looks absolutely. A loopy so pretty in your bedroom seriously. Seriously. I hope you consider that as a suggestion.. It was nice to see Eric so excited about that old air pump. I love the look of it. And I know he's going to have a lot of fun with that. You got such great deals at Joann's fabrics. And you did a great job really with the arrangements love them. You're a very creative person. Don't forget that you make great choices of items. You pick up and I always value your opinions and things that you show us. I learn a lot from you. I hope you keep that lamp. You are never gonna find another one like it and if you find that it doesn't work, then I guess you'll have to bring it to the booze and we'll all have to race up there to grab it. I think it looks so stunning in your bedroom. Let's see what others think. Stay warm stay safe until the next time❤❤❤❤
I'm so glad you enjoyed the different background and my silly furry friends! I thought Iris looked very queenly on the bed when I was showing the new lamp!
Interesting finds...I'd leave that lovely traditional metal chandelier alone or paint it black, at most. I got a smaller, 5-light one from my Habitat ReStore years ago for $16 and repainted it the original black and installed it myself over my kitchen work island and on a dimmer switch so it can be soft light or brighter, as needed. I love it! As for the lidded basket, a steal at $2.99, so very smart to pick it up! I saw very similar ones years ago used as "breakfast baskets" at a popular B&B inn. They're the perfect size because they were tall enough to hold a lovely thermal carafe with hot coffee, milk/creamer, sugar, pastries and mugs delivered in the mornings to each room at the inn! Lots of possibilities for uses when they're large enough for that when closed! Yes, the taller lamp is much better by the bed than the shorter/fatter one. I remember using that style of now-vintage air pump like the one Eric found to fill my tires decades ago! Nice find! Whoa! Don't throw your styrofoam peanuts away (not nice for the environment). They can easily be re-used for shipping fragile items, so just put them securely in a small covered storage box or trash can (well out of reach of kitties) so Eric can re-use them for shipping fragile items! (BTW, packaging fragile items for shipping is very easy if you know how to do it, as I'm sure Eric does! ) Post-holiday season is ALWAYS the best time to purchase essential items for next Christmas! Many of us also keep our basic faux evergreens on display to do double duty well into the winter season for appealing decor, just as you did!
I'm very impressed with your chandelier project! Nice job! I love the idea of a "breakfast basket" - it sounds so cozy! Eric wasn't pleased that I threw some of the styrofoam peanuts away, so you two are on the same page. He's amazing at packing fragile things and doesn't mind doing it, which is a true blessing for me. ❤❤
Such a beautiful video. I like the floral lamp it just seems to make the room cozier. So nice to see the cats and dogs. ❤ I’m looking forward to you decorating the hutch for Valentine’s Day.
❤ YOU FOUND GREAT ITEMS IN THIS OUTING.....I REALLY LOVE THE NEW LAMP BY THE BED, BUT I FEAR FOR THE SAFELY OF IT......THE FAUX PLANT ARRANGEMENT AND THE PINE STEMS AND PINE CONES LOOK FRESH AND GIVE TEXTURE IN THE CONTAINERS....I ALWAYS LOVE YOUR VIDEOS....THANKS FOR SHARING ❤
You are NOT wrong to fear for the safety of it - naughty kitties love to break lamps! I'm so glad you like the faux plants. They're not as good as real ones, but they get the job done!
From an aesthetic standpoint the new lamp is a winner for me. The size and color fill the space nicely. The crystal lamp is pretty but looks oddly tall and skinny to me in that space. Of course function is important so you will have to see what works best. The crystal lamp would be pretty in almost any space.
New lamp is super duper awesome, 💕🧸💫 the color matches room perfectly. Try reading by it before you sell it as a test. Be safe and well. Happy new Year. God bless. Will
That lamp is gorgeous. Iris adds the perfect touch to that scene. Yes, I do like the change in filming locations occasionally. That was a good price on that basket. The taller lamp looks better in that location but I would definitely find a location for that beautiful new lamp. I have not heard of Mara mugs until you started talking about them.
Although I know nothing about appropriate decor, I love the lamp and it would be my choice for your bedside. I also love the chandelier. A friend found one similar. She painted it and used beautiful votive cups with remote operated candles. It was magical. I love you kitties so much and I love your channel. Happy New Year!❤❤ Oh yes, love the new background!
Both lamps are beautiful. Your newly purchased lamp is a rare find both on price and quality. I personally really Ike its look next to your bed. Sharon in Texas
Hard to choose which lamp…I like them both. When I’m in CT I frequent that Savers often. Next time you are in the area, there are two Goodwills within a few miles down the Boston Post Road.One is in OrangeCT, and a mile or more down the road there is a Goodwill in Milford
I like your new lamp, it’s beautiful but I think the original fits the decor better. I ❤ you brown transfereware, as I collect it to. The pitcher is a wonderful gift from your mother. Speaking of pitchers I would have nabbed that one with the dragonfly even if it was repaired. I love making flower arrangements in old pitchers.
Thank you for the feedback! I think I agree with you - the original seems to fit the space better. I definitely made a mistake in not picking up the damaged pitcher - the dragonfly was soooooooo good. But then again, I can't really make the kinds of flower arrangements that I love because I can't have real flowers in the house. Hopefully someone else finds it and falls in love with it!
I absolutely love the new background. The fireplace is so cozy and I love libraries! I think this new look is more relaxing and warm for the season. I do hope you plan on using it for a while. ❤❤❤ Good choice Kris; in my opinion anyway.
Thank you for letting me know that you liked the different background! I enjoyed using the fireplace and seeing some of my books (prized possessions) in the video!
I do love the look of new lamp by the bed but I get what you’re saying about the height - I would try a couple of books under for desired height then assess between the 2. Thanks for sharing 🌟
Interesting thought about the books - I would only worry that it might make the lamp easier for naughty kitties to knock over. It would be nice if it were a bit taller....
I do love seeing different areas of your home. So cozy in the New England winter. I do like your old lamp better. I’m a less fussy kind of girl, mostly. 😜 So sad you won’t get to see your son for so long. My older son, Alex, was in the army for 9+ years. It was so hard for me, when he was gone. I’m glad he made his way back to Connecticut. Love that chandelier. I would totally replace the lights with faux candles with a remote. We have fabric gazebo on our deck. That would look awesome hanging in the evenings with gentle light. No fire hazard! 😉 Knowing what cats and dogs do to ones bedding, I think your placement of the quilt is brilliant! As for Eric’s special find, I love it! My thrifting buddy, Darla would seriously go nuts over it. Well done. Can’t wait to see it, when it’s full service. Can I ride my bicycle over to air up?! 😂 My last comment is on the Mara mugs. Not sure of that spelling. I never heard of them before you, and absolutely love them now! You are so unselfish to share with everyone!!!!!! 💓💓💓💓💓
I think I agree with you - the old lamp seems to work well in the space. I'm not usually so indecisive! I'm glad you liked the other finds as well - including my segment on Mara mugs!
Loveeeee the new room !! So cozy !! I love the new lamp but it is a bit low for the bed side . I would knock it over lol. I would take the chandelier and put in solar lights and put it out on a porch or pergola. The plant looks great !!! Corner cabinet looks great with the greens !! Thank you for making my Sunday mornings great !!
Wonderful video! Loved all the cameo appearances.....that air compressor unlocked memories from my great grandfather's farm....I remember there was one on the equipment building. I'm definitely on team floral lamp....you may have to invest in a separate book light, but it compliments the bedroom so beautifully! Love the library for the background....huge winter hygge vibes.
Oh my gosh - I bet your grandfather had a lot of fabulous things in that building! Nice memories! I'm so glad you liked the lamp and the library - I love that it gave off winter hygge vibes! ❤❤
I agree with all the others. Your new lamp is beautiful and I love the look better but as you say the other one is taller and gives better light for reading. . I would never have been able to not buy that lamp no matter how many lamps I have.I have several similar lamps myself. Also love your new area for filming. Is your fireplace gas or electric? I would love to do something like this in my fireplace. Also I love your friendly village plates on display and they would still make good winter decor. My favorite dishes.
Thank you so much for weighing in on the lamp dilemma! The fireplace is electric. We wanted gas, but we had too many limitations about where it could go. I would definitely recommend an electric fireplace if you're thinking about it. Mine gives the option of either using just the firelight or adding heat as well. I usually just like the firelight because the library tends to be very warm already. Friendly Village is so good, right????
You have such a nice collection of Mara mugs. WOW! ❤ I have two favorites, hahaha. The tree one and the new heavenlies sky one. They certainly are all nice.
Kris, love your new format! Just a suggestion concerning the lamps, why don’t you switch the lamp harps, it may give you a little more height with your wonderful thrifted lamp. My eyes enjoy the contrast with the newer lamp, with the white bedspread and darker pillows. It may work, or not, I learn a lot just switching things around! Keep up the great work, with your newer format and antique booth. I had a kitty just like Iris, she got i to everything also, she had definitely FOMO, 😂🤣😂. Have a great week ‼️
That's such an interesting idea! Thank you for mentioning it. I need to hit the lamp shade store sometime soon, so maybe I'll bring it with me and see if there are some good options....
I like the contrast of the shorter wider lamp (but still substantial enough) next to the tall bed. But I see it might not be practical if it doesn’t light up your reading 🙂
The lamp is my favorite item in your haul. It is gorgeous and romantic. I have mixed feelings about which lamp looks best beside your bed. I really love the romantic floral lamp but the height of the pretty crystal one does look nice also. I couldn’t decide, lol. So, I’m no help there. Lol
I really like the original lamp. Although the new lamp is very beautiful, I think it is too large for the table and bedroom size. I think it overwhelms the beauty of the rest of the room. I love the idea of changing video locations. Thank you, as always.
Thank you so much for weighing in! I think the comments are split at this point! I do agree with you about the size of the old lamp being correct for the space. Maybe I can find a different spot for the new lamp!
Keep the new lamp! The added color brings the room together. I like the other lamp but it doesn’t show its glory it just blends in. It needs to be in a place with darker surroundings.
I would go for basket if I wasnt a large collector of Longaberger baskets. My kids get a kick out of counting the baskets all over the house. I think I'm up to over 100! I use them all
I absolutely love the new lamp! I’ve been dying to go to The Shops at Marlborough Barn!
I love the new lamp and think it looks perfect there. It looks warmer than the glass lamp. ❤
I love this ! All the books with the fireplace going in the background! I also love your tapestry throw pillows with tassels on the bed! Hobby lobby is a great pace to find florals and foliage when they are on sale. You did a great job on the greenery arrangement!❤
Both lamps work, but the new one is stunning! And it gives off a fantastic cozy glow. I’m team New Lamp 😊
I think it’s nice to mix it up a little with the background, but I’ve said before I really like when you film in the dining room.
Both lamps look so beautiful on your bedside table. I love the background you used today. Lovely video!
The new lamp! It’s gorgeous in your bedroom. The shade with the scalloping is unique!
I'm so glad you like it!
The new background is great!
Honestly, I like the new lamp better for your bedside. And your new background is absolutely beautiful!
I'm so glad you like the lamp and the different background! It was fun to mix things up a bit!
I love the lamp. I have one very similar to it in my guest bedroom. I think you should keep it.
Thank you so much for weighing in! I'm not usually so indecisive!
The thrifted lamp does look beautiful next to the bed.
Indie lying in the mess is so adorable! I like the new background but cannot decide on a lamp for your bedroom, I like them both and think I like the new one better! Also you showed the top of your bed with the the lamp your using now but not with the new one so I can’t tell without a wider view.
I love the new background!
I love the new background. I also like the new lamp best in your bedroom.
Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know! 💕💕

I like the new lamp and perhaps a taller table would make it work better. The cozy fireplace looks so inviting 🥰
I don't think I have a taller table - perhaps I should try to find one....
I like the thrifted lamp better in your bedroom!
I love the new lamp by your bed. The mass of it seems appropriate to the bed. Your husband’s find was a good one!❤
Thank you so much for weighing in! Eric is thrilled with his new find!
I love both lamps, but the crystal lamp is better, in my opinion! 😃
Hi Kris, you did get some great things, I like Joan's suggestion of the different rooms
I'm glad you agree - it's fun to change things up a bit!
Definitely the new lamp, love it.
I love the new background!❤
I'm so glad to hear it! It was fun to try a new place in the house.
I was hoping you would buy the lamp. Love the new background!

Loved the library background for a beautiful change. And always, the cats make it wonderful.
Your pups are precious also.

Love your content and the little treasures you find to bring home or to resell. Seems like you are living your best life!
I'm so glad you enjoy my videos! They are so much fun to make!
Newer viewer and maybe it's because I've been binging your videos but I love the idea of mixing up the backgrounds. Loving your channel

Nice find with the hanging light they are very expensive I personally would paint it black, probably a satin black.
Is that a vintage switch board ? Oh what is the story behind that . Fantastical 🎉
I love your original lamp.
Although I know nothing about appropriate decor, I love the lamp and it would be my choice for your bedside. I also love the chandelier. A friend found one similar. She painted it and used beautiful votive cups with remote operated candles. It was magical. I love you kitties so much and I love your channel. Happy New Year!❤❤ Oh yes, love the new background!
Why did I not think of remote candles? Genius idea! Thank you for sharing!
Both lamps are pretty, but I like the new lamp with the floral pillows you have on your bed.
Thank you so much for weighing in! I appreciate your feedback!
Definitely like the different background!
I have a basket just like that one it came with picnic items inside
I love the pitcher arrangement! Beautiful!
I'm so glad you like it! I enjoy seeing it in the corner when I pass by!
Both lamps are beautiful. Your newly purchased lamp is a rare find both on price and quality. I personally really Ike its look next to your bed. Sharon in Texas
Thank you so much for weighing in! I think the new lamp has received the most votes so far!
Hard to choose which lamp…I like them both. When I’m in CT I frequent that Savers often. Next time you are in the area, there are two Goodwills within a few miles down the Boston Post Road.One is in OrangeCT, and a mile or more down the road there is a Goodwill in Milford
I agree! I really like the Milford goodwill. I think that it is much cheaper and I find better things than at the Orange one.
I've been to both with mixed results, but it all depends on when you hit them. I always love the sound of new bins rolling out!
Chris I love the lamp you just found❤
I'm so glad you love it! I still can't believe I found it sitting on the shelf at Savers!
I really love and prefer the new lamp to the old!
Thank you so much for letting me know! It's helpful to get some input.

Yes I keep everything
It's so hard to let things go! I'm the world's worst reseller (but maybe one of the world's best "keepers!") 🤣🤣
Love this video Thank You also the white cat on the bed is gorgeous 🐾
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Iris was definitely posing for the camera - she's a little scene stealer!

You have such a nice collection of Mara mugs. WOW! ❤ I have two favorites, hahaha. The tree one and the new heavenlies sky one. They certainly are all nice.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the Mara mugs! ❤❤☕☕
Kris, love your new format! Just a suggestion concerning the lamps, why don’t you switch the lamp harps, it may give you a little more height with your wonderful thrifted lamp. My eyes enjoy the contrast with the newer lamp, with the white bedspread and darker pillows.
It may work, or not, I learn a lot just switching things around!
Keep up the great work, with your newer format and antique booth.
I had a kitty just like Iris, she got i to everything also, she had definitely FOMO, 😂🤣😂.
Have a great week ‼️
That's such an interesting idea! Thank you for mentioning it. I need to hit the lamp shade store sometime soon, so maybe I'll bring it with me and see if there are some good options....
The new lamp definitely!!! The other lamp is too tall
I like the contrast of the shorter wider lamp (but still substantial enough) next to the tall bed. But I see it might not be practical if it doesn’t light up your reading 🙂
It's such a dilemma! Either way, I think I have to find a good space for the new lamp, even if it's not by the bed.
I like the flowered lamp better
Thank you so much for weighing in! I really appreciate it!
The lamp is my favorite item in your haul. It is gorgeous and romantic. I have mixed feelings about which lamp looks best beside your bed. I really love the romantic floral lamp but the height of the pretty crystal one does look nice also. I couldn’t decide, lol. So, I’m no help there. Lol
You sound EXACTLY like me! 🤣🤣
Nice video, thanks for sharing.♥️
I'm so glad you enjoyed it - thank you for letting me know!
I really like the original lamp. Although the new lamp is very beautiful, I think it is too large for the table and bedroom size. I think it overwhelms the beauty of the rest of the room. I love the idea of changing video locations. Thank you, as always.
Thank you so much for weighing in! I think the comments are split at this point! I do agree with you about the size of the old lamp being correct for the space. Maybe I can find a different spot for the new lamp!
The MARA mugs are beautiful.❤
I'm so glad you like them! I'm using one right now as I write to you!
Keep the new lamp! The added color brings the room together. I like the other lamp but it doesn’t show its glory it just blends in. It needs to be in a place with darker surroundings.
Thank you so much for weighing in! The colors are soooooo good, aren't they?
The new lamp.
Thank you for weighing in - I appreciate it!
I would go for basket if I wasnt a large collector of Longaberger baskets. My kids get a kick out of counting the baskets all over the house. I think I'm up to over 100! I use them all
Wow! You're lucky to have so many! I adore Longaberger baskets!
Form or function? The new one is prettier, the old one better light. A new view is exciting
EXACTLY!!!! I'm feeling so heard right now. 🤣🤣
