Lauren, I have bought men's razors for many years there cheaper and usually have more in the packaging. I don't support Harry's razors though because there a woke company pushing there liberal agenda against the family. However I love your channel!👍
The exterior of our office building is stucco and we use heavy duty command hooks that are specifically made to hang on stucco and they work great so that might be a great option for you to explore to hang your beautiful garland. Everything looks absolutely beautiful! I think a black front door would really pop against the neutral colors of your home. Everything you do is so beautiful, thank you for sharing it with all of us!
Lauren, don't worry too much about not being able to hang the garland. You've done an incredible job on the porch!!! It is the epitome of fall decor. You've done a fantastic job!!!
Girl you deserve a bath!!! I don’t know if there’s another human who would still be in the middle of moving/settling and be like “oh, I need to decorate the porch” 😂. I would be like NEXT YEAR!!!
Well, when you get an offer for a sponsored video from a great company then you do what you have to do. 😉 Her decorating videos are awesome and probably get the most views.
Well, I would be the second person, who would stop in the middle of moving and trying to get settled, to stop and decorate the front porch----I’ve done it!!🙊I’ve also decorated the whole house, just to remove everything a month later, for the painters to come in, and then re-decorate all over again!!🙈
I just ordered Philosophy Holiday Shower Gels in 'Peppermint Stick'. It smells so divine, it makes the whole house smell like Winter Wonderland forreal though! Highly recommend! 🎄🍭☃️🌬👳♀️🛀
@@lyndacaira1735 then you too are awesomely dedicated to the season/holiday. I tend to go overboard, started going Halloween yesterday but I know that the one thing that would pause my passion for holiday decorating would be moving. Especially moving w/ 4 kids, a husband and menagerie of animals. So 👏👏👏👏 to you both. You both deserve a bath!
@@ashleys4652 and I’m sure she could have done a bathroom unpacking/organization for Harry’s razors over the front porch. I completely appreciate her dedication and enjoyment of it all. I’m exhausted watching.
I like so many others will miss your old house dearly, the old antique charm, it’s what drew me in to watch your vlogs, the house, the decor, it was so different than all of the other houses/vlogs you see online. I’m sure you’ll make this one very special. Best of luck to you ❤️
For Christmas a few years ago I got my hubby the Harry's subscription and then got a razor for myself as well (orange for me). I love the handle grip, the great shave it gives, and he absolutely loves the Aloe shaving cream and the after balm. The porch turned out beautifully. I think it looks fine without the garland but then again I'd have to see it from a street view to really tell but I get that you need to protect your privacy on that subject. Happy to see you took time for yourself. We don't always do enough of that as women with our busy lives but it's so necessary to recharge!!! Can't wait to see all the "new" for the upcoming holidays. Many blessings and happiness to you all as you settle into your new home.
Lauren I love that we are all with you on your new cleaning journey! You were such a pro with all the elements at the Victorian! I have no doubt you’ll do the same here in you new beautiful home. I’m so excited for the come along on everything!! Thank you!! 🫶🏼🍁👻
Your Front Porch looks so Beautiful Lauren as Always. You sure do know how to Decorate. Thank you for sharing this with Us. You and Your Family Have a Blessed and Wonderful Day in the Lord 🍁🍎🍁🎃🍁🍏🍁
I had a home with stucco. To hang a garland around the door, we screwed two small hooks into the top corners of the wooden trim above the door. I used two pieces of heavy duty wire maybe 8" long, made small loops in both ends of each wire. I looped one end of each wire over a hook. I got the garland into place and then brought the loose end of each wire under the garland and looped it over the hook. Moved branches and leaves etc to hide the wires. Once the wire was in place on the garland, I left it there from year to year so I could pull the garland out of its container, put both looped ends on the hook and it was very fast and easy to hang the garland. It was very windy where I lived, so we also had small eye screws at the bottom of the trim on each side of the door. I looped the smallest of bungie cords around the bottom of the garland to keep it from swinging around too much in the wind.
It turned out lovely. You are right about transitioning to a different type of exterior: it is a learning curve, but you are very gifted and talented with decorating spaces. I know you will turn it into your vision. I will say perhaps you can add the bench back to the side wall for more depth and dimension to the space. Looking forward to seeing all that you have planned and glad you are feeling better.🤗💕🍁
Super excited for this one... I know your halloween decor is getting closer and that is actually how I found you. It's my favorite holiday to decorate for and provides endless creativity opportunities to feed my needs. I was so happy to see that you do cleaning and home making videos! I am huge on organizing and planning as well. My family always jokes with me about it but I feel so much more relaxed by having the structure. Doesn't matter if it's party planning or my week to week schedule. I will die with my planner in hand.😂😃 ❤
Beautiful and inspirational as always. A hack I learned from another UA-cam creator for hanging garland on stucco, brick, etc. is to use hot glue and zip ties. Apply a generous amount of hot glue to the middle of a zip tie against the "grout lines" of the stucco. Gently pry it off when you no longer need/want it and it doesn't damage the grout. I hope that helps. Congrats on the new home. Enjoy it in good health for many years to come.
Scrub your porch tile with any good cleaning solution and that mop. You can use a push broom too. The outside front porch can be hosed down frequently and pressure washed as needed. Have your high windows cleaned once a year. I do mine early Nov so they are clean for my favorite holidays. Your tile floors interior can be vacuumed and then mopped with vinegar and water. Enjoy your gorgeous home. ❤️
I scrolled through & saw my idea for the command strips. I didn’t realize there was one specifically for stucco…that’s awesome! If you can’t get the command strips to work though, you could always hang the garland inside so you see it through the glass around the door. It’s not exactly the same but it would probably work until you find a more permanent solution. Thank you for sharing all your beautiful decorating ideas & part of your life with us! Happy Fall!
Love the new porch! Cleaning tip: use a battery powered leaf blower to clean your front porch of dirt and debris and cobwebs from over head. It's something that is a must around my house. It works great!
Hope you are feeling better 2day! Been watching for 2 yrs, so excited for you & family on your beautiful new home..Love to the animals, will be watching for all the new decorating & recipes..Just made ur Chix Parm., family loved it...Blessings
The best thing for "hanging" decorations on stucco is to use Hot Glue! Works on brick too. I hot glue my Christmas lights every year - works great, and comes right off. For cleaning tile I really like my steam mop & my spin mop - I recently saw that there is a steam-and-spin mop, so that sounds like the ultimate solution, but I dont have one. And grout is a whole different story! Good luck!
Love this new adventure with you…clean tile and follow up with a towel - I actually walk with it under my feet and “follow” the mop…just use anchors with drywall…take two baths you so deserve it!! TFI 🌻🍂🍃🍁🎃
Oh my goodness!!! I am crazy about cleaning, organization, decor and the list keep going. I watch so many videos on you tube but honestly I don’t know why some thing about you made me want to check every single day for a new video from you🥰 I am from Brazil been on US for about 20 years not speak English very well and that is one of the reasons I never made any comment on videos before because I can’t write perfect 😅 but you deserve me make myself embarrassed here😂 two things I love your decor today and I love your standards in life about your family ❤👏👏👏👏 and second I was a housecleaning for almost 18 years and here are some ideas for you about your tile get them really wet and dry with probably 3 times using the same mop you did for your porch every time you dry them and take to the bucket again rinse and do again the clean you get them, also do yourself a favor whatever part of your house you have tile and you won’t be replacing them later get the grout sealed I know is a lot work but one time done you will have a perfect tile for a long time. About your windows don’t use windex use only a window rags not to wet and you can use a window pull attached with you rag best and fast way to keep them clean, if you need more info about this please let me know. Thanks for helping us with all your great ideas 🇧🇷🥰
I will say this... I grew up in a Spanish style house with tile & stucco. My dad powered sprayed it. Now this was in the 80's & 90's. So i am sure there are other ways. The one thing you will hopefully love is that stucco is ah-mazing for spider & cobweb decorating. Cannot wait till you decorate for Halloween.
Garland can be added to your front door by adding jumbo command hooks to the glass panels. Amazon has a huge hook that’s meant for the shower so it will withstand the weather. (Mine has been up four years!) You can’t hammer into stucco….but you can drill. I have lathe hooks drilled into the wall above our front door. I add seasonal decor (garland) all the time.
Hi Lauren, I had a timer on for this video but had to go grocery shopping. I couldn't wait to get home, sit down with an ice coffee and watch it. Beautiful job as always. So fun, new house, and all your decorating will be that much more fun to watch. Happy fall.
It looks so beautiful! You could always tap tiny nails on the top of the doorframe to hang garland from, or 3M VHB Tape can be used outdoors and claims to hold up to 90 lbs per inch!
.... I just saw a Notification for the new Video.... so I'm here , lol ! Can't wait to see how everything is going to look ! Okay so the best thing to clean just regular tile FLOORS , porches... and it will also clean the grout- please don't use harsh cleaners it destroys the grout- .... I've always used this , on the recommendation of a tile guy - that's all he did for a living - to use a scant amount of blue Dawn dish soap and you just need a tiny bit, mixed with plain white vinegar and not scalding but " almost hot " water and you can also add a little bit of baking soda to that mixture if you want a little more cleaning power.... but you don't need a bunch of fancy cleaners... that should do it. What happens is a lot of cleaners will just leave a film on the tile and they also destroy the grout and it will start to crumble and fall apart even if it's been sealed, I've seen that happen so you just have to be careful. And I actually use a diluted bleach to clean my bathroom tiles because it kills everything... it kills staph, it kills everything , and I'm very careful with that too I use it diluted down and I don't scrub really hard, just enough to get everything clean and rinse it with hot water. I hope this helps. :)
I’m in the middle of a really crazy move too so these moving videos are too relatable. I think the porch looks beautiful! I don’t think the garland is even needed. :) you’ll get used to the house and it will feel like home soon.
Lauren it looks so beautiful Ive never seen anyone in my 64 years with your energy Im blown away everytime I tune in.Iordered those vitamins on your recommendation I guess I need to reorder because Im so low in energy lol.I look forward to see what you do with this home so far Im loving everything ♡♡♡♡♡♡
My girl I know it's hard that beautiful queen vic was everything but with your touch I see this beautiful home as French country with the walls and gardens it is going to be every bit beautiful as the vic especially with your touch so beautiful as always thank you for your work and art so beautiful thank you
I am from Florida. The best way to hang things on stucco is a command strip and hot glue. Instead of using the sticker from the command strip you put hot glue on the back. It works great. But you will have to paint if you pull it off.
I love a man's razor for shaving. Get a powerwasher from Home Depot! I'm popping in at Trader Joes later today to get a few things. I definately need to get some pumpkins. In due time your home will come together and it will be everything you want it to be. You are a get it done gal!
Hi Lauren. Your front porch looks so beautiful as always. You have such a gift in decorating and making everything looks so beautiful and stunning and classy like you. God bless you and hope your doing well and take one day at a time. Have you ever heard this saying, Rome wasn’t build in one day. When I was moving into my first big big house it was overwhelming and I wanted everything done right away. I realized it wasn’t going to happened. Have an amazing blessed day . 💛🌻🌼
Hi from Yorkshire,England. Moving home is stressful so cut yourself some slack 😌 You are doing a fantastic job for your family. The porch looks beautiful. I know it's hard when you move from a house that you love and have made lots of happy memories there. Give it a year or so and you will feel settled and will have already made lots of new memories new your new home. Happy Autumn 🍂 xx
Lauren the porch looks gorgeous!!! You give me great ideas and inspiration. For the stucco, use a hot glue gun. Hold the garland against the glue for 30 seconds until it dries. When you take the decorations down just peel the glue off. It won’t damage the stucco.
The amount of work u are putting in these videos is sooo appreciated . Love you and thanks a lot You are the favorite person always and forever and dearest to heart🍡🍓🍧🎉🥰🥰💖♥️❤️❤️🌙🫂
Hi Lauren, I agree your door needs painted. I would paint it a rusty orangey color, pulling out the orangey color from the stones on the wall. I would also paint your porch tile, a solid, dark color, to ground the porch. We got some concrete paint from lowes or Sherwin Williams, and painted ours and it looks soo much better than it did. If you can swing it, you’d feel better getting wood laminate floors put down over those tiles inside the house, asap. I know if anyone can transform the house, it is you. Loving watching the process. Lv ya girl!😘❤️😘😘😘
Hi Lauren, Glad you feeling much better. The new house I love and think it's coming along perfectly. Bet you enjoyed your well deserved bath, looked good, you set the bath up real good. Glad the house too is nearer the kids school, that a bonus. You made a great job of the porch, looks really nice, love the pumpkins and ready for fall, nice balance I thought of colour. Take care of yourself Lauren and please don't overdue it. Have a lovely day. Jamie. 😊☺🐦🐥🐤👍🐱😀
Loving the porch so far! I’m pretty cut you can use conman strips on the stucco. Rub the area with a little rubbing alcohol to clean the paint right where you want to stick the hooks and then put the hooks on and wait at least an hour before hanging anything from them so that they adhere really well. Even if they end up falling it won’t damage the stucco. But I’m pretty sure it will hold just fine.
Hello Lauren, we moved several years ago from a home with a front porch craftsman style home ,it was up from the street like your old home. Our home now has stucco and a small front porch. I haven't found a way to bring my decorating to the outside. I will be watching and learning from you ,can't wait to be inspired thank you.
Can’t wait I’ve been binge watching to catch up and thought oh great I’ll watch it now but got another 19 hours lol x but it will be worth the wait xx i
I have stucco. If you’re putting in cup hooks that you’ll leave there forever for various garlands, I’ve just used a drill to drill tiny holes in my stucco, and screwed I. Yea cup hooks. Don’t be afraid! I say just go for it!it’s just a problem if you do it a bunch and take the screws in and out an bunch. Live free!😊
You can use the heavy duty command hooks for your garland. They also have heavy duty suction cups for glass where you could hang too. Honestly I just leave the command hooks up year round because I use garland for every holiday. I did make sure to use the out door hooks. Just paint them the color you paint the door and leave them up. I do use wire to secure the garland to the hooks. Not floral wire though. It's not strong enough unless you do want to use several pieces
By far the BEST way to clean the ceramic tile on the floor is VINEGAR ! Extra benefit, vinegar is non-toxic, safe for pets and kids. The cats will be put off for a short amount of time until it dries and the smell will dissipate. it Works !! Also, keeps bugs and insects away as well - extra good from it. You can dilute it or I have it in a spray bottle for spot treating the tile floor when something spills. I live in Tampa and FL homes often have tile flooring. The Decor looks great, Congrats!
I feel happy when I get a notification that you have uploaded a new video 🥰😘😍. Thank you very much for uploading the video. Your videos fill me with so much positive energy 🍓♥️🥰😍😍🍓♥️
Love it. I feel ya on giving up spaces from old house to new. I recently moved & i gave up my front porch, screened in back porch , large yard & a renovated deck-ugh. I too have stucco & lots of tile that i didn't in the old house. I too miss my old house.
The front porch looks gorgeous! I’m sure you’re missing your old porch you did beautiful on your new porch. I can’t wait to see the interior after you get settled and decorate. You have been so busy!!!
The porch looks beautiful and yes a garland would look great. You’ll figure it out. I think you have to drill a hole in the stucco to put in screws to hold things. Have a wonderful weekend and I look forward to all the decorating and changes in this house. ☺️🍂🍁
Hi Lauren!🤗 Here in Brazil it is very common for houses to have tiles because of the heat. So my cleaning tip is: in the external area wash with water, detergent and broom, rinse and simply pull with a squeegee or dry with a cloth. In the indoor area, use a damp cloth or mop with the mixture of water and disinfectant, let it dry freely or wipe it with a dry cloth if it has become too damp. That's it! 😊(sorry for mistakes, I'm using a translator)😬
Your neighbors will be thrilled seeing all you do outside. I too have a stucco home and since I live in Florida having real pumpkins is an issue also. We do our best to make it festive. Best to you and your family in your new home. 🎃
Congratulations on your new home! I am sure you will make it as beautiful as the last one. Don’t know where this one is but your last one to me was a dream!, just porch and kitchen was it for me. But again I know you will make this one even better. Can’t wait to see what you do! I truly enjoy your videos!
I have many windows inside and out and found the best way to clean is with water and little dish soap. I have used Dawn or Palmolive liquid apply soapy water and use squeegee and wipe with a towel the excess water around the edge. As for tile use water, vinegar and Dawn solution to clean bathroom showers works great. Your porch is design is gorgeous.
Best advice power washer to clean. I used hot glue on my brick to hang my garland over my front door during Christmas. Try using hot glue 🤷🏽♀️ 🤷♀️but ask your husband first. Another tip would be command strips on your windows to help you hang the garland.
Hey Lauren; I'm not one for comments,,, but I do follow you..... I never miss a video, heck I even look at older ones as well. I love your front porch it's just beautiful. And it does look amazing even with out the garland...... Your organization is awesome, I'm trying them out in my bathroom,,lol. Thank you so much for taking us with you .... Now go soak in your bath again .....God Bless
Such fun fall vibes, Lauren! Looks great without the garland, but if you’re looking for heighth, maybe something in the window above your door, like a smaller wreath, may help the balance. 🙂
You are ADORABLE ❤️😀I think your porch turned out absolutely adorable and I love the choice of the apple wreath because I also decorate with a lot of apple decor ❤️ in the fall! Everything looks absolutely fabulous and I’m glad to see you took some time for yourself for a little recuperation! 🤣🤣🤣I use my husband’s razor all the time I absolutely love using his razor,! Working forward to more videos! XO Cindy
Absolutely beautiful! We moved to a stucco home in FL and outside decor is a whole other way to hang than I was used to also. I would suggest two or three hooks ( Use Command hooks but not the tape) that you adhere permanently with an adhesion made for stucco. Paint them the same color as your stucco. I tried Command hooks on my windows (like yours)but my Christmas garlands are so heavy they fell down. The hooks will be there permanently but you do seasonal garlands for many other times of the year so they will be nice to have and ready to go.
Beautiful as always! I look forward to every video you put out, they’re so inspirational! And yes, mens razors all the way. My husband had to have the same talk with me😂. One thing I would love to see is a brief clip of your house lit up at night with all the twinkle lights. But I understand this has been an extremely busy time for you. I look forward to all the videos you’ll be putting out over the holidays! Thank you for taking the time to show us all your beautiful ideas in home decorating and cooking!
in AZ all our houses are pretty much stucco - I do not hang things because you have to drive screws into studs to actually get it secure which takes EFFORT. We also have tile - steam mop all the way.
Lauren. Know you miss the big porch to decorate, but you made this one look very cozy. Glad you feeling better. I’m exhausted just watching you. Tfs cheers ,

It looks so beautiful! You could always tap tiny nails on the top of the doorframe to hang garland from, or 3M VHB Tape can be used outdoors and claims to hold up to 90 lbs per inch!
.... I just saw a Notification for the new Video.... so I'm here , lol ! Can't wait to see how everything is going to look !
Okay so the best thing to clean just regular tile FLOORS , porches... and it will also clean the grout- please don't use harsh cleaners it destroys the grout- .... I've always used this , on the recommendation of a tile guy - that's all he did for a living - to use a scant amount of blue Dawn dish soap and you just need a tiny bit, mixed with plain white vinegar and not scalding but " almost hot " water and you can also add a little bit of baking soda to that mixture if you want a little more cleaning power.... but you don't need a bunch of fancy cleaners... that should do it. What happens is a lot of cleaners will just leave a film on the tile and they also destroy the grout and it will start to crumble and fall apart even if it's been sealed, I've seen that happen so you just have to be careful. And I actually use a diluted bleach to clean my bathroom tiles because it kills everything... it kills staph, it kills everything , and I'm very careful with that too I use it diluted down and I don't scrub really hard, just enough to get everything clean and rinse it with hot water. I hope this helps. :)
I’m in the middle of a really crazy move too so these moving videos are too relatable. I think the porch looks beautiful! I don’t think the garland is even needed. :) you’ll get used to the house and it will feel like home soon.
Lauren it looks so beautiful Ive never seen anyone in my 64 years with your energy Im blown away everytime I tune in.Iordered those vitamins on your recommendation I guess I need to reorder because Im so low in energy lol.I look forward to see what you do with this home so far Im loving everything ♡♡♡♡♡♡
My girl I know it's hard that beautiful queen vic was everything but with your touch I see this beautiful home as French country with the walls and gardens it is going to be every bit beautiful as the vic especially with your touch so beautiful as always thank you for your work and art so beautiful thank you
I am from Florida. The best way to hang things on stucco is a command strip and hot glue. Instead of using the sticker from the command strip you put hot glue on the back. It works great. But you will have to paint if you pull it off.
Ok…I’m getting completely spoiled with these daily post!! Love them! Keep ‘em coming! 🥳🥳
I love a man's razor for shaving. Get a powerwasher from Home Depot! I'm popping in at Trader Joes later today to get a few things. I definately need to get some pumpkins. In due time your home will come together and it will be everything you want it to be. You are a get it done gal!
Looks amazing!!! Wishing you many blessings and great memories in your new home!
Hi Lauren. Your front porch looks so beautiful as always. You have such a gift in decorating and making everything looks so beautiful and stunning and classy like you. God bless you and hope your doing well and take one day at a time. Have you ever heard this saying, Rome wasn’t build in one day. When I was moving into my first big big house it was overwhelming and I wanted everything done right away. I realized it wasn’t going to happened. Have an amazing blessed day . 💛🌻🌼
I like it right now. No garland necessary. Can’t wait to see more( all )

Hi from Yorkshire,England.
Moving home is stressful so cut yourself some slack 😌 You are doing a fantastic job for your family. The porch looks beautiful. I know it's hard when you move from a house that you love and have made lots of happy memories there. Give it a year or so and you will feel settled and will have already made lots of new memories new your new home. Happy Autumn 🍂 xx
Lauren the porch looks gorgeous!!! You give me great ideas and inspiration.
For the stucco, use a hot glue gun. Hold the garland against the glue for 30 seconds until it dries. When you take the decorations down just peel the glue off. It won’t damage the stucco.
The amount of work u are putting in these videos is sooo appreciated . Love you and thanks a lot
You are the favorite person always and forever and dearest to heart🍡🍓🍧🎉🥰🥰💖♥️❤️❤️🌙🫂
I love it. The front door is even a fall color. I know you want to change it, but it does look good now too!
Hi Lauren, I agree your door needs painted. I would paint it a rusty orangey color, pulling out the orangey color from the stones on the wall. I would also paint your porch tile, a solid, dark color, to ground the porch. We got some concrete paint from lowes or Sherwin Williams, and painted ours and it looks soo much better than it did. If you can swing it, you’d feel better getting wood laminate floors put down over those tiles inside the house, asap. I know if anyone can transform the house, it is you. Loving watching the process. Lv ya girl!😘❤️😘😘😘
LOVE! Can’t wait to see how you transform the house. It’s amazing already, but your touches will update it a lot and make it classier/chic!
Hi Lauren, Glad you feeling much better. The new house I love and think it's coming along perfectly. Bet you enjoyed your well deserved bath, looked good, you set the bath up real good. Glad the house too is nearer the kids school, that a bonus. You made a great job of the porch, looks really nice, love the pumpkins and ready for fall, nice balance I thought of colour. Take care of yourself Lauren and please don't overdue it. Have a lovely day. Jamie. 😊☺🐦🐥🐤👍🐱😀
I think the porch is beautiful as it is.
Loving the porch so far! I’m pretty cut you can use conman strips on the stucco. Rub the area with a little rubbing alcohol to clean the paint right where you want to stick the hooks and then put the hooks on and wait at least an hour before hanging anything from them so that they adhere really well. Even if they end up falling it won’t damage the stucco. But I’m pretty sure it will hold just fine.
“You got nothin’ to lose but the hair on your legs!” Lol! I love that!!
Hello Lauren, we moved several years ago from a home with a front porch craftsman style home ,it was up from the street like your old home. Our home now has stucco and a small front porch. I haven't found a way to bring my decorating to the outside. I will be watching and learning from you ,can't wait to be inspired thank you.
Can’t wait I’ve been binge watching to catch up and thought oh great I’ll watch it now but got another 19 hours lol x but it will be worth the wait xx i
U will be the envy of all your neighbors, lovely 😍
I Love it! Thank you for bringing us along for the whole move in process!! I can’t wait to see all of your plans come to fruition 🥰
I have stucco. If you’re putting in cup hooks that you’ll leave there forever for various garlands, I’ve just used a drill to drill tiny holes in my stucco, and screwed I. Yea cup hooks. Don’t be afraid! I say just go for it!it’s just a problem if you do it a bunch and take the screws in and out an bunch. Live free!😊
You can use the heavy duty command hooks for your garland. They also have heavy duty suction cups for glass where you could hang too. Honestly I just leave the command hooks up year round because I use garland for every holiday. I did make sure to use the out door hooks. Just paint them the color you paint the door and leave them up. I do use wire to secure the garland to the hooks. Not floral wire though. It's not strong enough unless you do want to use several pieces
I feel you on the stucco issue. Suction cups or 3M Command hooks for the Garland.. 1 or 2 on window above the door then swag it to side windows .
Everything looks beautiful in the front but I agree with you I would add the garland on the door! Great job 😍
I'm so excited I wish I could watch it now lol.
I love how the porch is now!
By far the BEST way to clean the ceramic tile on the floor is VINEGAR ! Extra benefit, vinegar is non-toxic, safe for pets and kids. The cats will be put off for a short amount of time until it dries and the smell will dissipate. it Works !! Also, keeps bugs and insects away as well - extra good from it. You can dilute it or I have it in a spray bottle for spot treating the tile floor when something spills. I live in Tampa and FL homes often have tile flooring. The Decor looks great, Congrats!
I feel happy when I get a notification that you have uploaded a new video 🥰😘😍. Thank you very much for uploading the video. Your videos fill me with so much positive energy 🍓♥️🥰😍😍🍓♥️
I love it, not too much halloween . It looks nice and elegant. Thank you for sharing.
The front porch looks great Lauren. It looks wonderful. Very nice. So beautiful!! You always do a wonderful job!! It all looks so beautiful for fall.
Love it. I feel ya on giving up spaces from old house to new. I recently moved & i gave up my front porch, screened in back porch , large yard & a renovated deck-ugh. I too have stucco & lots of tile that i didn't in the old house. I too miss my old house.
The front porch looks gorgeous! I’m sure you’re missing your old porch you did beautiful on your new porch. I can’t wait to see the interior after you get settled and decorate. You have been so busy!!!
The porch looks beautiful and yes a garland would look great. You’ll figure it out. I think you have to drill a hole in the stucco to put in screws to hold things. Have a wonderful weekend and I look forward to all the decorating and changes in this house. ☺️🍂🍁
Your porch is beautiful, but I miss your last front porch. A garland will top it off beautifully. You always do such a lovely job. 🍁
Lauren, you’re the best!!! Your videos are so comforting and homey!
Hi Lauren!🤗 Here in Brazil it is very common for houses to have tiles because of the heat. So my cleaning tip is: in the external area wash with water, detergent and broom, rinse and simply pull with a squeegee or dry with a cloth. In the indoor area, use a damp cloth or mop with the mixture of water and disinfectant, let it dry freely or wipe it with a dry cloth if it has become too damp. That's it! 😊(sorry for mistakes, I'm using a translator)😬
I never used men’s razors until Harry’s. Been using them for a couple years now. Love them!
Your neighbors will be thrilled seeing all you do outside. I too have a stucco home and since I live in Florida having real pumpkins is an issue also. We do our best to make it festive. Best to you and your family in your new home. 🎃
Congratulations on your new home! I am sure you will make it as beautiful as the last one. Don’t know where this one is but your last one to me was a dream!, just porch and kitchen was it for me. But again I know you will make this one even better. Can’t wait to see what you do!
I truly enjoy your videos!
I have many windows inside and out and found the best way to clean is with water and little dish soap. I have used Dawn or Palmolive liquid apply soapy water and use squeegee and wipe with a towel the excess water around the edge. As for tile use water, vinegar and Dawn solution to clean bathroom showers works great. Your porch is design is gorgeous.
Absolutely stunning. Can't wait to see the inside. I don't know when you have time to go to your job. You're always going.
Beautiful. Being a farm girl, I suggest taking the plastic off the straw bales. That is on just for packaging, through shipping process.
Beautiful job, Lauren! Amazing entryway with a lot of impact! Love it! Glad that you took some time to do you after the stress of moving!
Will be great to see what you've done with your new space!
Looks fabulous! And really, the door lets the other fall colors pop. FUN!
Best advice power washer to clean. I used hot glue on my brick to hang my garland over my front door during Christmas. Try using hot glue 🤷🏽♀️ 🤷♀️but ask your husband first. Another tip would be command strips on your windows to help you hang the garland.
I can't wait!!
You can put holes in stucco but you have to use a special drill bit, if your stucco is smooth I suggest using something with adhesive hooks.
Hey Lauren;
I'm not one for comments,,, but I do follow you..... I never miss a video, heck I even look at older ones as well. I love your front porch it's just beautiful. And it does look amazing even with out the garland...... Your organization is awesome, I'm trying them out in my bathroom,,lol. Thank you so much for taking us with you .... Now go soak in your bath again .....God Bless
Lauren you could put small nails in the top of the windows and then wire your garland to them. Or use command hooks on the wood or glass.
Such fun fall vibes, Lauren! Looks great without the garland, but if you’re looking for heighth, maybe something in the window above your door, like a smaller wreath, may help the balance. 🙂
You are ADORABLE ❤️😀I think your porch turned out absolutely adorable and I love the choice of the apple wreath because I also decorate with a lot of apple decor ❤️ in the fall! Everything looks absolutely fabulous and I’m glad to see you took some time for yourself for a little recuperation! 🤣🤣🤣I use my husband’s razor all the time I absolutely love using his razor,! Working forward to more videos! XO Cindy
Best way to clean tiles: water and white vinegar 1:1 (best way to clean hardwood floors as well.
Looking forward to your fall decorate and hope you are feeling better! 🧡🤎💛
Absolutely beautiful! We moved to a stucco home in FL and outside decor is a whole other way to hang than I was used to also. I would suggest two or three hooks ( Use Command hooks but not the tape) that you adhere permanently with an adhesion made for stucco. Paint them the same color as your stucco. I tried Command hooks on my windows (like yours)but my Christmas garlands are so heavy they fell down. The hooks will be there permanently but you do seasonal garlands for many other times of the year so they will be nice to have and ready to go.
Beautiful as always! I look forward to every video you put out, they’re so inspirational! And yes, mens razors all the way. My husband had to have the same talk with me😂. One thing I would love to see is a brief clip of your house lit up at night with all the twinkle lights. But I understand this has been an extremely busy time for you. I look forward to all the videos you’ll be putting out over the holidays! Thank you for taking the time to show us all your beautiful ideas in home decorating and cooking!
I agree Lauren, men's razors are better, I've been using men's razor forever. I'm excited about your new house.
As a fairly new home owner, I love watching and getting all the decor tips and ideas. P.S. men's razors all the way!
Can't wait!!!!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Love the front porch I love the traditional bright colors
in AZ all our houses are pretty much stucco - I do not hang things because you have to drive screws into studs to actually get it secure which takes EFFORT. We also have tile - steam mop all the way.
Yay, can't wait!
You will always have a longing for the old house. I had a house like your old one and I still miss it. It’s ok. New beginnings are also wonderful
I'm missing your old house too!
It was perfect for decoration!
Love from México!!
Lauren. Know you miss the big porch to decorate, but you made this one look very cozy. Glad you feeling better. I’m exhausted just watching you. Tfs cheers
