    Linda..Hi from the UK 🇬🇧...
    I believe... that the more disruption ...chaos....untidiness...and disorganisation you are currently experiencing.....then the more beautiful...stylish...charming. ..authentic and positively glorious your new home will eventually become.....
    Have faith Linda... Trust in your fabulous interior design skills and stylish visions for your property.
    We all are with both you and Ben on this journey and we cant wait to see the breathtaking results and eventual total transformation..
    God Bless you. ..😇🙏❤

    Hi Linda! My mom watches your videos on tv but isn’t able to comment, so she wanted me to comment for her. She says that she loves your channel, your spirit, and that you speak to her soul. She likes the music you play and all the antiques you use to decorate. She says that she sees her own house through new fresh eyes and appreciates her decor even more. She is pretty sure y’all could be best friends if you lived in north Louisiana. 😊

    You are one truly amazing woman. What patience you have, I would be either screaming or crying for all the different cancellations of things that you have had. Just love, love your kitchen window over the sink. Can’t wait to see it all done, and you enjoying your new space.💕💕

    It is always a pleasure to see you have posted a new video ! Those bench seats are so nice , can't wait to see the cushions . You have planned out everything so beautifully. Glad the guys came to measure for the countertops ! The snow looks so pretty and I would also be excited to have the bench to look outside with a hot cup of coffee. Thank you kindred spirit for taking us along for the ride !!

    All my life I have LOVED window seats. How perfect it is you fit with a little extra foot room to while away a little time to read or simply relax! We were hit with snow like that in the Seacoast NH but rain followed quickly and we have lost most of it by today. I have lived in the same townhouse for 25+ years and I remember so many storms with snow up to the middle of my windows on the ground floor! I was was glad to see you outside despite the snow, it is just beautiful. I am enjoying the progress of your kitchen/dining/pantry area more than I can tell you. Thank you very much for sharing the journey 😊

    The Lilac bush looked like it was forming a canopy over that area. I can see it in spring, in full bloom, with a little cast iron bistro set underneath, with tea service for two. What a happy little party that would be! 🩷💜💗

    How I love to watch and reminisce of the times my late husband and I did our work, gardening, decorating and loving our home.
    I have since moved to a condo, but am pleased with what we've done.
    When do you anticipate the kitchen being completed?
    Renovations got me feeling choked up as you are beginning to feel.
    Yet, your patience is admirable!( I was not as calm!)
    Feel better.. I suppose the anxiousness doesn't help with causing susceptibility to germs!
    We haven't had any winter as yet in Central PA.
    I sure hope our upcoming fire and ice festival doesn't melt before the end of opening night!

    @susantaft6873 ปีที่แล้ว

    I had the 'thumping' sound in my ears for weeks - it finally got so loud I couldn't even sleep - then just like that - it disappeared. Dr. told me it may be a residual symptom of the COVID I had in September as my symptoms were all in my ears and sinuses. Feel better soon!

  • @janicekeisler9225
    @janicekeisler9225 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Linda, What magnificent light you have with all the windows revealing your beautiful property. Each season will be delightful seeing it from your new window seats with Willow. I smiled as you told us why you purchased the flowers-to have something pretty to look at during the chaos of remodeling. I am so much that way, needing some beauty to see in the bleak winter months. I have amaryllis blooming now. Everything you are doing is wonderful and I can wait for the finish as I am enjoying the journey (easy for me to say, you are living it). Please take time to rest and fully recuperate. My husband has gone through first a virus during Christmas, then acute bronchitis, to now being hospitalized because his oxygen levels are low. You are younger than he but it can happen to the younger also. I so enjoy being a kindred spirit and look forward to each segment with you.

    Sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. When I get bronchitis, I am down and out for weeks and weeks, so I hope you have a quick recovery. I think you better just come to the understanding that you have lost your reading nook to your furry friend! She looks so cute lying on the bench. I just love the bead board in the kitchen and the pantry…. beautiful choice of cabinets and appliances….remodeling is such a process, and seems like it takes forever, but it’s so worth it in the end…thanks for sharing your beautiful home and for all of the inspiration!🦋

They say there is another major lot of rain coming tomorrow (Wed 1st Feb) then it should ease off. We certainly weren't prepared for such a disaster. Anyway your video with a cup of coffee has made my morning. Love your snow views. Jeanette, New Zealand.

    Did you ever think about a double mantel on your fireplace. We took off the old wood mantel because I wanted bricks (which I painted) So when it came to the mantel the original was a little too small. We did a new larger mantel & went up about 8inches & used the small mantel. The wood going up is inset about 5 inches so I have two shelves. The lower one I use for antique small books on one side and whatever on the other. The upper mantel I use in the normal way. I love having two, have not seen another.

The anniversary of my sister passing away last Monday. My cat got sick 3 different vets. The garage door right now is stuck up position the frame is twisted some kind of way. I can relate.
    You really did a good job on the bush. So much snow, so pretty, but must be very cold 🥶. Huge for Willow 0:16
