Here is the blog post on the DIY Plate Rack my husband made for me! www.pineandprospecthome.com/my-diy-guide-to-build-your-own-vintage-inspired-plate-rack/
Make sure Mike signs and dates the plate rack. Someday someone will say..... my grandfather made this for my grandmother one Christmas. Its a treasure now , but through the years , it will become a family history and your story. Nothing warms up a room more than blankets and throws. I use them throughout my home from October thru March. I love real candles like you.... but so close to that pitcher of thistle, which will become drier and drier, scares me a little. I , too, always have a book basket next to my chair. Since I am grandma, mine is filled with the books of the season. I love making a warm cup of comfort and sitting and looking through Winter, fall, summer and spring. A little getaway for the soul. A simple pleasure.
My dad & his dad & grandpa, etc were all gifted wood workers. My dad told me(I did many crafts including embroidery & needlepoint) to always sign & date my work. He has been gone for almost 14 yrs and now I give my grandchildren the same advice.
Gotta love people who don't live in your house telling YOU how you should decorate YOUR home 🤦♀️ haha With everyone pointing out how blessed you are to have Mike, I will agree but add that he is blessed to have you as a wife as well! Your decorating style inspires and gives life to his creations. You're a great team 😊
But often Andrea asks the question, "What do you think?" So people give their opinions, only to have you make a comment about people not living in the house telling Andrea how to decorate. If she doesn't want input, then why ask?
I agree that I feel these blogging sites are a place to share ideas and thoughts and input. Some subscribers act as if you're not applauding and cheering every single thing, then you should not be commenting. If we can't share... whats the point.
@@PineandProspectHome Is there any possibility your living room rug would still be available and where? Thank you for any help or suggestion you could give me. My color palette is very similar to yours and I need a rug to cozy things up. Appreciatively, Cindy
Andrea you are so blessed to have Mike as a husband. He’s so talented and great at making all your design ideas come to life. I love the plate rack! It looks very antique. I love everything about your winter decor …I wouldn’t change a thing. Wishing you a blessed New Year🌟🌟🌟
A plate shelf is a great way to display beautiful porcelain. This combination in the kitchen adds charm and elegance, and at the same time is very practical.
Although I'm orginally from Japan, I’ve always adored old-world and English cottage styles, and your channel is one of the very few I’ve subscribed to and genuinely look forward to watching. Your style, along with your keen eye and sense of detail, makes creating an authentic decor feel achievable, even when it’s challenging to find the right thrifted pieces in the US. Unlike other TH-cam decorators like Amy F. whose style began with a cheesy American country look and has noticeably evolved over the years to heavily imitate your style and even your demeanor, you’ve stayed true to your unique vision. Your creativity and dedication are truly inspiring.
I love the new plate rack. You're so lucky to have such a talented husband, I don't think the copper pots look too cluttered. I think the whole area adds so much character ...happy new year x
Your love for that plate rack is magnified because your husband made it for you! My daughter finds things to build for me, including newel posts for the stairs…things that seem impossible due to costs. That kind of love is beautiful, sacrificing their time for you is truly heartwarming. Every time you look at it you will see a visual representation of his love!
Mike is so talented!!! Gifts like that are so special!!! My Dad made me a quilt rack and a sofa table that are special to me. He always puts the date he made it on the piece.
Andrea, your home speaks to my heart. I love your warm and inviting home. I kept a very small tree up and decorated it with little snowballs, ice cicles, and snowflakes with fairy lights.
I think any kind of fresh greenery in the house is okay during winter. Personally I still have my tree up because it is colorful and brightens up the house at night. Brings me joy.
The plate rack your hubby made is beautiful! My husband & I just built a new home & and after taking down all the familiar Christmas decor, I am finding it a bit tough to decorate. Thanks for sharing, I am always inspired!
Yes, I'd love the organization video. Your home is so warm and cozy. Everything looks so beautiful. You and your husband are so talented. Love the plate rack!!!!❤
Your husband did a awesome job with the plate rack. My grandma ( she had a cottage home with a beautiful garden, enclosed with a white picket fence) and parents had one. That why I love cottage style home. You did a great job in styling it. Beautiful ❤
I love that you are giving us, how to decorate AFTER Christmas. Winter decor is something I've always wanted but so much is holiday themed. I have fairy lights and a couple of strings of Christmas lights still up. Tablecloth is blue with snowflakes and some matching plates on our dining room hutch. 💙 I want to add some blankets, plants...usually I have herbs starting but not this year. Have fun!
Mike has golden hands. He crafted a remarkable and beautiful, forever piece. How blessed he is to have that talent, craftsmanship, and skill to create all that he does. By-the-way, I love when you and Isaiah cook together. He is so gorgeous!
I don’t know what some people are commenting about … I love the way you have decorated those shelves!!! What you have looks warm & cozy, but fresh & clean … perfect to make a statement, but not distract from the overall feeling of your beautiful living room! The plate rack Mike created for you was a wonderfully special gift, and looks amazing with all the thrifted iron ware!
This is my first time seeing your channel! What a treat! Your home is gorgeous and you have done a beautiful job decorating it! Will definitely be watching more of you!
I Love the plate rack, so beautiful Andrea, Mike did a GREAT job! Everything looks so beautiful! I would take the copper down, I think it makes your space look cluttered n they can come out at another time or season, try it n see, I bet it makes everything else stand out more n blend in! I do the minimum with shelves as well, I like it the way u have it! Great video n thank u for sharing, I leave decor stuff up like the pops of red, the pine, the snow flakes, etc. until end of February! I just take down the merry Christmas signs, the packages, Santa clause, etc. but I let it up for Valentine’s Day, winter, it’s snowy, dark, cold, n I like to enjoy each season for 3 months, so that’s how I do it, no rush! Great video n thanks for sharing! 😊❤️⭐️🎁💕
Love the plate rack. Mike did an amazing job with it. I would keep the copper over the plate rack for color and warmth. Your house always looks amazing ❤
I love the fresh start that January represents. Your plant does not look like it needs repotting, but please check to see if roots are coming through the drainage holes. If they are, it is time to repot. Happy New Year!
Your home as so welcoming! Love your colours palettes and winter tour. The plate rack is so unique and beautiful with your ironstone! Your husband is a great carpenter. Looking forward to more of your videos on thrift finds, redos and decluttering. Thank you so much from 🇨🇦
I love your home! It is just so beautiful and well loved, in every season. You and Mike put so much love into your home... What a treasure..... It speaks volumes to your commitment to each other and your children. If i were to enter through your door, I'm certain that i would feel God's presence. ((Hugs))
Woo who Mike, Way to go! Andrea, your home is so warm and cozy. I love it that your husband continues to encourage you and use his creative talents to help equip you to make your home a memorable and special place for your family! May The Lord continue to bless you this winter season and coming year. Bravo to you both for a job well done!
That plate rack is just gorgeous. Who wouldn’t want a beautiful hand made gift like that rather than something shop bought? So much love and thought has gone into it. Lucky you. Your home is lovely. Really enjoy your vlogs. I love it when people are enthusiastic about their homes. Lots of love from Karon in England xxx
The plate rack is so beautiful. You talked about adding something more in your living room and also talked about your book case. There are some beautiful wallpapers out now and you could find one that would take the same color as your beautiful stove to the back of the shelves. The neutral items that you have on the shelves would still be beautiful. Also, put a live plant on the top shelf in a neutral container.
Everything looked beautiful Andrea! Mike gets a huge high five, absolutely stunning! I usually don’t take the time to read comments from your fans but I read one about Mike signing and dating his work. This is so important and will be appreciated in the future. When my grandpa retired he started a little hobby of making little gifts for each of us. He signed his initials and year on the bottom or back of his pieces. It means so much to me. Gifts made from our loved ones are treasures made from the heart! Great job Mike and Andrea how you decorated it beautifully!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us! How thoughtful to have your husband create a beautiful plate rack! You and your husband are an inspiration to all who follow your posts.
