Dear Anne your home I s just wonderful to look at your puppy is just a little doll your bar area is just stepping back in time really enjoyed the tour .Best wishes Susan Hirsch.
You have such a great collection of tavern tables! Your home looks just right for the holidays,not too much just right! It was fun seeing your whole house! You are so lucky to have such a great old house!
I love the stone walls; we have some here in east TN too...made notes while I was watching, of the things I esp love: the stone walls, dividing the mud room so you have some storage there, the red in the family room around the windows and lower part of the wall, love the wall colors in the bar...........love the greenery, the trees and the fruit you used in the decor..love the simplicity of the basket with the Christmas pillows and greenery on the bed...LOVE the chalkboard on the wall in your kitchen and the Christmas decor on top of the dresser.
Anne, your home and property is absolutely gorgeous! I love a stone wall. 1780....you're living my dream!😍 Thank you so much for all of the great videos this holiday season, it has been such a treat. Wishing a very Merry Christmas to you and your family! 🎄🎅
Beautiful tour of your home Anne. You've presentation the feeling of living in your 1780's home just perfectly and kept that century alive in present day. Thank you for sharing! Merry Christmas to all and thank your extended family and friends for sharing their homes. I have enjoyed all their homes and business tours you presented on your video channel. Well done Anne!
Wow Anne, just gorgeous! I am glad you did a closeup of your grandfather clock, I just love it! I had asked about it when you guys were live at Lainey’s Christmas party! Tell Tom he is going to need a lot of wood to heat up the house on The Eve and Christmas! I live in Ct too, and those temps are going to drop big time! Well, stay cozy and once again have a great holiday!❤ Maddalena
Hi Maddalena! We’re prepared (an unusual thing actually)! We have just had 2 core of wood delivered and Tom put a pellet stove in the basement to keep the pipes from freezing. It’s quite the task! Stay warm!! Happy Holidays!
Hello Anne. WOW! You have done an AMAZING job on the property and the grounds. My best friend lived there all through our high school (1983-1987) years, and I vividly remember the tavern and front room. I am amazed to see it now as I have a better appreciation for what it all means historically. Keep up the good work; I cannot imagine how many hours you have already invested! I love it :)
Oh wow! That's so interesting that your best friend lived here and you know my home!! And thank you - yes - I've been working really hard to restore it to what it should be - fortunately there weren't any big changes through the centuries that we had to undo. Mostly we did some 60's and 70's undoing:)
Wonderful home with such well-preserved historical touches! The light and natural holiday decorations seem perfectly suited for its style and era. I am personally a fan of window treatments but have to agree that the burgundy trim and wavy glass is not to be covered up.
Sorry I have watched your video a little later than I would have liked to, Christmas just came too quickly. Your house is just perfect, different from a few years ago but still beautiful. I hope you have a blessed 2033, lots of love and hugs to you and your family including cousin Mel. And most of all thank you for your wonderful channel xx 🐾😊❤🥰
Everything is beautiful! I agree with Tom on kitchen cabinets, I would never paint those, they look rustic and go with the place so we'll. God bless. Have a blessed day 🙏❤️
Thank you Anne for all of the wonderful tours . I am thoroughly am enjoying each and every one of them. Your home is beautiful. I hope your family has a fantastic Christmas 🎄🎄
Thank you Marylou! It’s really hard work to heat as we do. Tom has to get up in the middle of the night to keep the fires burning but the radiant heat from the fires is amazing! Happy New Year!
Wow! Beautiful home, you have captured the essence of a primitive home in every room ! This was a real treat. Thank you for sharing it with us! Merry Christmas!
Anne your home is so beautiful! I just love primitives. Your home is so comfortable looking, it's probably a joy to be held up there on snowy winter days. That's how I feel about my home too. You are a fantastic authentic primitive decorator. Have a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!!
Thank you so much Shelly!! I’m so happy to make it cozy because I spend a lot of time here! Of course the past three years we’ve all drawn into our homes more but there is something so nice about retreating into a safe and favorite place isn’t there? Hope you have a beautiful Christmas and New Year too!
Thank you Kathleen!!❤️❤️❤️ it has been quite the trip! I’m fortunate to have all of you along for the ride with me!! Thank you!! It’s so much more fun with friends!
Your home is absolutely stunning! I think the whole of the downstairs of our cottage could fit into 1 of your rooms! The new burgundy paint looks wonderful x
Thank you!!! I know the house is huge!! When we first moved in we were overwhelmed by its size. We were used to living in small places. Now we’re so used to it that it would be hard to leave! I just like that I have so many rooms to decorate!
Always enjoy touring your beautiful home Anne ,thanks again for all the wonderful tours this Christmas season looking forward to more in the new year !
The red is stunning! What a great choice! I love the pink, it’s such a peaceful, sweet room. And I love, love the tavern. Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing you amazing home!
You have really outdone yourself Anne….so nicely curated as you evolved into the primitive style and your house just showcases it all so well. Merry Christmas to you as well and thank you for bringing us so many wonderful prim videos.
How many square feet is your house Anne? You know I LOVE it!! Everything looks wonderful! The Tavern Room is in all it's glory! Prim perfect! That stone wall is amazing as well. Wishing you guys a very Merry Christmas and blessed new year!
Hi Melinda! My home is 3000 square feet and my outbuildings total 3000 square feet. Lots to decorate! Thanks for all the kind words! I do love that tavern! Merry Christmas!
That was a great tour of your beautiful home. You have so many nice pieces of furniture. I love the new wall and trim colors. They made such a difference. I hope your family has a very Merry Christmas !
Thank you Judy! I’m really happy with the recent changes this month lol. My husband doesn’t know which end is up but then he’s used to that being married to me for all these years!
The changes in your home are perfect for primitive style. Love the grandfather clock! We changed our family room paint in January to a brownish red and love it too. This time of year it is especially beautiful. Of all the lovely homes you feature, your’s is my favorite. You can feel its history. The way you decorate enhances it’s age. Thank you for all the inspiration you have given us. Thanks also to Cousin Mel, Alice, Lainey and your family. Merry Christmas!🎄
Thank you so much Donna!! That means a lot to me! I like how we have so many different styles on the channel - all primitive in their own way. Congrats on painting your family room red too - brave thing to do!! Love it! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Thank you for all the work it takes to bring us into your beautiful home. What a special treat ! Wishing you and Shirtless Tom a very Merry Christmas....and a Blessed New Year!
Love your primitive home Anne! Love how you have painted all the woodwork and not covered it up with curtains. Really like the tavern and how cozy every room looks with just touches of Christmas too. Your dogs are so precious. Merry Christmas and thank you for all you do for us to inspire us!
You really did a fantastic job with your home!! I love, love it!! Thanks for the tour and all your explanations about each room. Happy New Year to you and the family!
Looks Amazing! The paint changes were the right thing to do! The tavern and the large room look like one cohesive room. I absolutely love that red color on your doors trim and windows in the one room. Isnt the greens so pretty with that red! I love it all! Looks so good! Did u mention the name of that cranberry color?
Thank you! Yea I have absolutely no regrets for any of those colors! It’s Ben Moore Burgundy. It’s very deep and rich and has a hint of blue. I love that color and am not done with it yet😊
Such a beautiful home, Anne! The history and stories it holds within its walls...if only they could share them! Thank you for taking us on a tour. Joe and I will forever treasure our time staying with you and Tom. You are both such great hosts. Your beautiful tavern room is even better in person! I love the change in colors. All great choices! Merry CHRISTmas, my friends! ❤️
That was a happy accident! I have dimmers that my tavern lights go on. They plug in and then you plug the plug of the light into them and you can dim them. You can get them at any hardware store. I have limited outlets of course so when I went to plug in my lights suddenly it occurred to me that o could plug the extension into the dimmer and take down the power! The fire Marshall would probably not think it a good idea… but it sure provides ambiance!
Thank you for the info! I have been watching your channel for the last couple of years and I think this is the best way you’ve decorated your home yet! I love to see a home decorated authentically. I want to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Girl girl girl all I can say is “breathe taking “ I so love your red trim in your family room. Your tavern beautiful. U have it girl.
Thank you so much Dee!

Thank you Jeanne. I’m so lucky to live here! Dream home!
Thank you for the great video of your wonderful home!! Can you tell me what red paint color is in the tv room? It’s great!!❤️❤️❤️
Hi Mark! It’s Burgundy by Benjamin Moore. There’s a lot of life in that red!
Thanks for showing and telling about your home. I love it! You've done a great job with it. So homey.
Thank you Nancy! I figured I haven’t done a show and tell tour for a while now.
Anne it all looks great. lol. You will see I suggested on another video before I saw this one, to try red and you did !!! Great minds think alike 😉👍
It's gorgeous, Anne! What color is that lovely burgandy, and are the walls still chantilly white? Thanks so much!
Thank you Jody. Color is Classic Burgundy and yet Chantilly Lace White.
Love your home - and that you are keeping history alive.I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year!
Thank you Robyn… yes! Keeping history alive!! Merry. Christmas and Happy New Year!
Lovely

What is a chimney closet?
I have two smells Hobby Lobby cup holder
There is no comfortable place to sit in that entire house.
You’d be amazed at how comfortable these seats are
@@AnneClay no they aren't. And those repros fall apart. Everyone needs at least one comfortable sofa and chair.
@@kellykelly828 Well I'm very comfortable here and my chairs have withstood the test of time so I guess that's all that matters.
