    Unfortunately the camera is way too close to really see the projects, we see mostly you (not meant unkind) but I’d like to see more of the full linen project. Also music is unnecessary and loud. On a brighter note, I love your channel and I’m a new subscriber. Thank you, Theresa

    Back in the 80’s while antique hunting on vacation in the desert, my husband and I were blessed to find several boxes filled with incredible vintage handmade quilts, doilies, linens of every kind, embroidered and crocheted dresser scarves and pillowcases. Huge score! I’ve displayed some of it, but sorry to say most has been stored in the linen closet all these years. I need more ideas! Can you do a follow-up please? Help! 💕

    So talented. So innovative. Such a great idea for window screens. I think you might have invented an entirely new way to decorate a window, and at the same time, offer daytime privacy. You are an amazing designer. That single idea in among all the other great ideas is truly a trend setter.

    I just found your channel and love your ideas. Last summer my mom gave me a bunch of vintage linens. Some were a yellowish color (natural) but not very pretty- I think they are crochet . I was wondering how you'd incorporate them. Also some were kitchen towels and table cloths with the bright red blue and yellow colors (cherries, etc. ) Trying to figure out how to use them. Looking forward to more videos.

    Thank you for this educational and inspiring video. I love to repurpose elegant older cotton and linen damask tablecloths. You can pick them up for a song at Goodwill. I cut them in half the long way, which makes 2 very long strips. I cut the strips into sections to use as dishtowels! Then I finish the raw edges. Damask linen dishtowels would cost about $20 each at the high end kitchen stores. I iron them and give them for shower and birthday gifts. I made a TH-cam video about this. It's called, Goodwill's Best Kept Secret...from Grandma Bunny.
