    Loved all of this! I do not have a green thumb either, so keeping real plants alive is just intimidating. Hats off to you for trying! This is just my POV, but as a reader, I despise the backward book trend. Your book choices are as interesting to me as your family photos. Thanks for great content!

    I always love your ideas, and this one is a great reminder. I personally think the biggest tip is to have a clean and clutter free home. Some of the simple and inexpensive touches are huge, such as the soap dispensers, etc. I love your quilted top, so cute!

    I appreciate the way you genuinely show us how to do things and it’s heartfelt - not as some who seem to care more about how they look on camera. You’re truly showing us real things that we can do and offer great tips. I can feel your down-to-earth spirit, if you will, and it’s refreshing. Thank you for including us in your life!

    Great tips!!! My mom always made and still does in our family home, clean and fresh. So I do the same in my home now (my family are clean freaks lol). One tip she gave us was keep your outside looking presentable and beautiful, because that's the first impression to anyone. Love your plants! They don't look fake. Excited to see your living room . It looks beautiful now. You're amazing, real and sweet lady!

    Regarding bathroom hand towels; I prefer to use disposable hand towels when I have company and multiple people are using the washroom. It is kind of yucky to dry your hands on a wet towel that someone just used. Love your videos!

    • @christinehooper2078
      @christinehooper2078 2 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      I use individual hand towels folded in a basket + another basket to put the used ones in. Fresh one every time for guests.

    • @loriday1394
      @loriday1394 2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      I purchase disposable hand towels. Amazon has many to choose from in keeping with the theme. I just can not use a damp, already used hand towel. The thought grosses me out.

    Hi Leslie, I love your channel and style. I’ve been decorating with live plants for years and placement, according to species, is important. Many plants will thrive with direct sunlight and others will not. There are many reliable online sources to refer to for specific watering , feeding and light source placement. Also, if you have pets in your home, select wisely as many plants are toxic for pets that may chew the leaves. When I have company, I place several decorative facecloths, in a basket, on my bathroom counter for guests to use. After use, they place them in a small laundry basket. I like your idea of decorating with books. If you don’t want the book title to be displayed, my idea is to cover the book with decorative wrapping paper (solid or print) or leftover wallpaper. I agree that a pleasant fragrance in your home is inviting . I will brew a pot of water with cinnamon and nutmeg to add ambiance instead of burning a candle; of course, a batch of homemade cookies will also be welcomed.

    I’m addicted to kitchen tea towels!😄
    They are my weird weakness. Buy them on trips, etc. …or if I just happen to see a really cute one at a favorite gift shop or Tuesday Morning, I splurge!👍🏻 You can never have enough…and they truly add a pretty pop to a kitchen!
    I’m a pillow nut, too!😂
    Thx for your fun videos. Have a great weekend.💕
    Oh! And I use books in many spots in my house, also. But I just make sure it fits with the room and prefer showing the title/binder side. Adds warmth, I think.
    Or maybe I’m just getting old and not used to the new trends?🤷‍♀️😂

    • @vanessathomas7437
      @vanessathomas7437 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    All of your suggestions were right on! I believe in the front door test. Once they stand there and wait for you to come to open the door, they have checked it all out. My thing with the towels is on of my weakness's . I always save back a nice one to put out when people come over. You are so good at this. keep up the good work. I enjoy watching you. Joyce

    @Lollylolly7765 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    You make great points. One thing I alway think when approaching the front of homes is people forget to clean outside or just inside their front door area. Those areas get so dirty if left unkept. This past spring we had so much pollen that I was wiping my front and garage doors daily. They are fibreglass and metal that look like wood, so the were yellow everyday. Also if you have dirty windows it makes your house look run down. Cleaning makes all the difference. As for smells, you are so right. Some people cook very smelly foods and when you can smell it as you approach the front door…whew!!! Diffusers are good for getting rid of those smells and don’t just mask them. Great tips Leslie. Always enjoy your channel.

    Hi Leslie, I stumbled onto your channel last night. I couldn't sleep thinking about a spare room I have where I store all my art canvasas and art supplies. It takes up the whole room. You were talking about mind set and making a difference organizing your basement in one day. It cleared my mind and it lifted the albatross around my neck and emotional attachment. So Thank you. Hours later I am still watching you. I just think you're great.
