@@carolyntrousdale2800 thanks so much for your suggestion. I’m looking at the bigger desk and I think your absolutely right! I’m moving it as soon as I get off here. Also I’ll have a window to look out! Thanks for your support 🥰
It looks a lot better now than before for sure and yes more cozy feeling, but the only thing is the tv stands sticks out further on the traffic area maybe you need a slim tv stand?
Hello! Great advice to move furniture to also clean. I moved furniture every few months when my kids were growing up. No cell phones to take pictures then so I'd use painter's tape & make markings. Really good advice also in getting rid of the dust & smudges. I suppose it's because I'm old but i got dizzy watching you move the phone as you walked back & forth and as you moved side to side cleaning; sorry 😢 don't mean to be critical. Appreciate you sharing your cleaning style & rearranging furniture. Wishing you & yours a wonderful Thanksgiving coming up. 💕
@@dloveofgod8269 thank you so much for your thoughtful comment. Yes moving furniture is a must when you have kids, pets, or a man who eats popcorn! Hahahaha. I’ll work on not moving do fast with the camera
@@thecolorpurple4488 just me and hubby as of now. But we have all the birthdays, holidays. We have close to 50 people. Also the house is an Airbnb 4 rooms upstairs and one down. Lots of people roam the house
I'm 75 years old and still love to decorate, so I hope you don't mind some suggestions. Make your room bigger by putting the love seat all the way back to the end of the tile. Move the piece of furniture with the little light somewhere else & put the chair there. you may have to push the sofa down a little bit. Get rid of both marble pieces because they're too big for the room. you can buy a narrow end table and tv stand as well. I would suggest you lose one or two of the barstools. when it's time for new furniture, look for smaller pieces.. also, painting the room a lighter color will make it look bigger and more airy. I would lose the blind over the sliding door, put up a curtain rod and some light sheers. Putting the TV on the wall would also give you extra space. personally, I'm not a fan of TVs on the wall.
It doesn’t take long at all for dust to collect around my house. I could dust every other day and still find dust. We live on a dirt road and have two very large cats. I am always moving things in my house. I have been told to quit a few times lately, “ because I am too old now.” I am 74 and still going and moving furniture. As a matter of fact, I am moving the sitting room around today for the Christmas tree. I only have to move one chair in the living room this year, but the sitting room has a lot of changing to be done. Yes, it will make me tired, but satisfied with the effort. ❤
@@sandypittman8182 yes Sandy, I completely understand!! The dust is unbelievable here too! It’s been so dry and yes the cats are dust creators but I love them so much I don’t care one bit! Be careful moving things! Take your time and slide slide slide. If it’s too hard wait until someone strong comes over:)
@@kathclean1922 I stay as self sufficient as I can. No one comes over unless we have an emergency or they want something. I have my very best friends to help me. They are my sliders. I have several sets in different sizes. I go on cleaning rampages every so often. This week seems to be a week of concentrated cleaning. I am going to paint the mudroom this month and replace the flooring. It is a very small room and then spend some time each week painting doors. We have white doors everywhere and sometimes I am tempted to paint them all brown. I really like the arrangement of your winter living room. Have a great day.❣️❣️
I'm interested in knowing how you like using the shade above the sliding glass door or if you would use some other idea. I have been searching for ideas and actually thought of doing something similar but thought I'd have to make something myself. Tell me where you found the shade and what size. Like what you have done; very nice. Thank you.
Remove the arm chair you put beside the wood stove. Place the basket of blankets in it's place. Remove the ottoman from the dining room. Remove the dresser with mirror and the lamp and everything on it from the dining room. All would look so much better with less furniture.
@barbaraking3927 Wow!...Bossy much? Why don't you worry about critiquing your own home. She has a beautiful, clean home and should be appreciated for that.
I would have put the seating on the side where you put the tv - and the tv on the wall space nxt to sliding doors. And prob a desk or something on platform farther away from stove.
It looks wonderful now. Love your positive attitude, that you happily work with needing extra seating for Family that is so great to get to host your loved ones. And that your real and about living life with your pets. How you answer comments because I think alot were rude and you were so gracious. Never understand why they don't just change the channel. I noticed how shiny your floors were before you even started. Yes the camera was dizzying maybe pan to show us-then stationary-then pan again for results and details, but I've seen channels I adore that Learned as they went..you know baby steps! It's a heckofa job you just pulled off.
@@carriemichael-cu8yq you are so honest with your comment! I love that! I don’t take it as rude but honest in their opinion. I actually did clean off my appliances on my kitchen counters from a critical comment and it actually looks and feels better. Other than my son came over and wanted me to make chocolate chip cookies and I had to lug my heavy kitchen aid mixer off the pantry floor. LOL! Yes baby steps. I’m a real homemaker and I don’t edit I like to think of my channel as a friend to people and little helpful tips. It’s what I love. Thanks so much by the way:)
Would have put the TV on the wall where the desk is, next to the sliding door. That way it eliminates glare from sunlight and you can watch TV and see outside, (I absolutely hate when TV can be seen from the street). Tidy up all those TV wires/cables, please. Couch on wall where you have the TV, other stuff ok where you have it.
@ Thanks for accepting my comments so graciously! I only mean to point out things that may help you, to share things I’ve learned in my 67 years 😍 You also may want to get some furniture sliders - I love them!
I recently discovered your channel. I love how your living room turned out. The only thing is, I don’t think you should be using anything water based on wood furniture. You should be using furniture polish in order to preserve it.
You have a beautiful home and i enjoyed the video, but may i suggest putting the camera on a tripod. Personally i like to see the whole room during the process and the movement messes with my head. Not trying to be mean, just my opinion. Im subscribing because i do love homemaking videos.
I like to shift the furniture when cleaning too. Always such a shock to see all the dust and hair.( two cats and a dog. And my hair is very long.) so much shedding going on. Love a good deep clean.looks so homey.
Please ignore the negative Nelly's. They don't live there; they dont pay for your home; they don't have to clean it. You are not trying to please anyone else other than you & your family. It's easy to sit & criticise someone anonymously. You have some lovely pieces of furniture. Enjoy your home ❤
@@marymcghee3023 yes leather is the only way. This furniture is from Macy’s and is twenty four years old. With all the kids it’s amazing it still is holding up

Wow! I’m just watching and reading comments, people hear, really? You lady, impress me with how kind you are to all of these people and their opinions about your home. Before we had children I used to move furniture often, that’s years ago, different life, different priorities. I’m more chill about things now😂 It looks nice. I’m considering moving some furniture around soon, just to have a new arrangement if I can, small spaces can be limiting.
What? Too much stuff???🤷♀️😂🤦♀️WHAT?? Is wrong with people? You invited us into your home and then someone says something like that?🙄SO rude. I have to rearrange for the stove too, ours is in the eat in kitchen. We also have a portable air conditioner, in the living room, which my husband packed away last weekend. I’m just in the mood for watching and getting ideas, I’m new here. Thanks 😊
@ thanks Tina. Yeah some people like airy open spaces. To each their own but I like cozy comforting loving spaces for family, and friends. I’m sure you’re the same.
