      Your daughters dress is adorable and yours as well that you wear that’s black…so vintage!💗
      I love how you’ve used your spaces to create unique useful areas that are non-traditional.
      May I ask where you purchased the boys quilts?

    Love this reminder to give attention to our homes. It’s isn’t about buying all the things…it’s about taking care of what you have and curating a home over time🥰

    I absolutely love your farmhouse. It's so cozy, early American, and reminds me of how my Mom decorated, and I do the same thing. Love vintage style Lamps, hardwood floors, old fashioned sinks, quilted bedspreads, vintage furniture, and potted greenery throughout the house. You mentioned some kind of disaster in your boys room. I probably would not think it a disaster, but there's a woman here on TH-cam with the channel "DIY Wife", who actually does remodeling and woodworking herself, because they didn't have a lot of money, nor could they afford to remodel, so she decided to do it herself. She's strong as an ox but she doesn't look like it. It's amazing what she can do. She actually could give you advice about a troublesome spot, and help you correct it. She's extremely nice. Just thought I'd mention.

    It doesn't get much better than bringing old furniture and an old home back to life. We are working hard on doing the same. We'll try seasonal decorating next, thanks for all of the great ideas!!

    Lisa, Once you and Luke purchased the farmhouse, it suddenly became alive with each episodes.
    It took on a life and became a home with such beauty throughout all its seasons.
    It has been a joy to watch your channel.
    I never grow tired !
    Your family is truly beautiful! Loved seeing your sister's wedding.
    Loved how your son got a pony! How you daughters share your interests and how they love the younger siblings ! Each child is truly special with their own birth stories with very special names. Am glad they are being homeschooled.
    Loved how you carry each child as you work within your home and how important family life is to you!
    There is true beauty in your home!
    Your husband works on the farm and loves the home as much as you do and has the same interest in the children and in God as you do!
    You put such love in all you have touched in the meals prepared and even in the guest house.
    Love the farm animals and I am grateful you share!
    The kitchen is often filled with the aroma of home-cooked meals. The counter often holds fresh eggs and the fresh milk. Meal preparation is a joy and so are the recipes.
    It is amazing how you just knew what to give the farmhouse.
    You definitely gave it all the love it had needed and then some!
    May God Bless you for your devotion to Him, Our Savior !

    I've had a little lamp on my kitchen counters for years, it does add a cozy feel. They also look warm and pretty on a bathroom counter. I don't use any overhead lighting at all, just lamps. Coziness is important for mental health during these gloomy rainy winter days.

    @vintagebeliever5023 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    What a lovely home.
    I saw the small light in the kitchen on another TH-cam video years ago so have always had one. It does add coziness. After dinner, it is the only light on in the kitchen.
    Thank you

    Good grief I'm all worn out from watching you! I need to come over and sleep on that guest house bed. Anytime is fine and just for a few hours will work. I love your videos and as much as you do it doesn't really wear me out. I find your channel so relaxing. Keep it up!

    I have a 9 year old that LOVES tape. Gracious. It's always sticking to my feet or legs or back side. I want to stop it, but he loves to build and create and invent things that tape can hold together, so I keep quiet. lol.
    I love tidying up! It makes everything seem peaceful. Even new, like you said.

    I love the idea of changing up the curtains! I love the look of cafe curtains and the softness they bring in your sunny kitchen, but next time pleeez make the length even with the window sill, it looks like they aren't finished and look messy bumping into the things on your counter! It's fun that you and your daughter enjoy this decorating hobby together!

  • @paulawhite5157
    @paulawhite5157 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Loved watching this video. You're house is so lovely and the fact that it IS farmhouse is so refreshing. I'm so tired of the look of trying to make homes farmhouse when they surely are not. It's good you and your daughter share the same taste.

  • @MsRosaJo
    @MsRosaJo ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The striped curtains looked great when seen in just the sink area, but when seen in the totality of the entire kitchen I agree that it looks off. The overall impression of the kitchen is softer than the starker-looking stripes.
    Maybe a muted blue and white floral fabric would work.

  • @brunobakes9056
    @brunobakes9056 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Lisa, I love your videos. I feel that they are inspiring and don't cause me anxiety that I have to do all the things and have everything brand new. Your comment about tape and your kids made me smile. I have two children and there was a time when the only tape in the house was duct tape. Haha. They loved tape and I would find it all over the house. I look forward to your videos. Please keep sharing.

  • @susansmith493
    @susansmith493 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Yep. I've stated this before on your channel. Lighting. It's absolutely crucial to get lighting right. Lampshades: avoid blue tones ...they'll give off cold light. Opt for burlap or burlap toned for warm light. Either way ..lampshaded lights are better than glass globed lights ...might as well just hang a bulb from the ceiling. Why do you hang curtains so they're below the kitchen sill?

  • @sheilaurie6563
    @sheilaurie6563 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I had to chuckle when you commented on the boys and tape. My youngest son, now 43 years old, went thru so much tape of every kind when he was the ages of your boys that I was convinced I should take stock in each company. I might be super rich by now. LOL! Thanks for sharing the different rooms in your home...everything looks amazing and so cozy!

  • @vickie9633

    My mother passed down to me t-towels from her grandmother! Some hand stitched beautifully! That sent me down the rabbit hole and I started collecting. My husband made and put a shelf with wooden rod over my l kitchen window and I display all my t-towels ! I often look at them and wonder about the women that made these beautiful towels! I also went down the rabbit hole with salt cellars !!

    I love seeing what you do with your home and how creative you are. I also love seeing you work with the animals you have and the daily chores of farm life. Your also a very intuitive cook and baker which is a talent I do not have. I'm also a big city woman who loves horses, goats and other animals, but will never live that lifestyle so I live vicariously through you. The home is perfect and obviously filled with love.

    I like to move some things around and like you said they can take on a different fresh perspective in a different location. On days I'm moving things around I tell my husband I'm "playing house" today. He thinks it's funny. Nesting and making our house a home is just so much fun!

    Dear Lisa, I thoroughly enjoyed the walk through your lovely home. But, what brought me the greatest joy, was at the end seeing the children,,, mine are all grown up 30's and 40's, 2 girls and 2 boys. Oh how I miss those days with them all over the house, just being children. Thank you for this precious memory. You are so right to keep your rooms and decor at a minimum. It gives you all so much more time to be a family. Hugs💞

    Lovely - I really like your green wallcoverings in a couple areas - the stairwell and the sitting space…not sure if it’s the same pattern, but ever so beautiful - especially in the midwest winters; green is so refreshing! At the end, your daughter in the kitchen looked like you!! What a beautiful home you are making for your family!

    Lisa, when I moved into an 1853 brick Victorian it was all carpet upstairs. I asked if there were hardwoods under the carpet to which the owner replied, "yes". When I moved in I commenced to ripping out 1500 sq ft of carpet and a layer of subflooring to only find destroyed floors. We patched them and then I bought gallons of off white porch paint and painted the entire upstairs.
    Sure, the smell was awful for about a week but I left the windows open to air out and they dried perfectly with no residual smell. Because it was porch paint it never chipped or peeled....BUT.....there was no one living upstairs but myself and my husband. We did have family visit with children many times and moved a lot of furniture around with no issues.
    I loved the look of those painted floors and would do it again in an old house with subpar flooring. Love your weekly vlogs and tour of your home!

    Wonderful! I’ve asked before and I’ll ask again - please show me your basement! I love old houses and hope to someday have one and want to badly to have a basement. I am sure it is unfinished and rough but if I know you (and I have been watching you a long time) you use it for all kinds of wonderful and interesting things it has been used for for many years by many other homemakers who have lived there.

    Have you thought about making your kitchen curtains sit on window sill?

    Ohh I just love your home. I love little lamps in my kitchen also, I saw on another site to put a cutting board behind to cover up any cords.
    I will definitely be following you.
