I like that you use your creativity in decorating rather than the overused commercial decor. Commercial is nice but using natural elements along with thrifted and collected over the years is so much more special. I just loved this Christmas tour. Bravo!
Amen! I think that as well:) The home is beautiful but Jesus is the reason for the season. Jesus said He is the way, the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father except through Him. John chapter 14 verses 1Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. To all who call Jesus LORD; our mansions are in heaven:) Blessings in Christ Maranatha! Mellany
I was lucky enough to have a career in teaching for 45 years...and I can tell you your teacher loved you dearly and appreciated your happy manner, but wasn't fooled by how hard dyslexia impacted you. She gave you those figures to remind you there is one who loves you even more than she did! Thank you for sharing that moment!
You're an amazing woman. I thank God for your 3rd grade teacher, your Angel with a sweet message. My 2nd grade teacher was amazing too, Ms. Todd. She was so beautiful and soft spoken. Your home M is so beautiful. Thank you from Texas in America.
Wow-zzaa!!! I will be watching this video over and over and over again! Every part of it was beautiful, but your tender story of your teacher and your dad and the nativity set had me in tears! Your teacher was right Linda, you are special and look how you are inspiring all of us! She shared the love of Christ with you as a child and The Lord designed you perfectly, and now you share those gifts with others. Now that's a perfect story! xoxo Kathleen🎄🍎🫖🎍⭐📖👏
Absolutely charming, Ms. Linda! (That goes for Ms. Willow as well!). Everything you touch is done with such good taste. I really appreciate your "Hints from Heloise" as well for better ways to approach a project. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful home. You had a very caring teacher you were blessed. My granddaughter is dyslexic and her teacher said she was just lazy because she was so smart. As a teacher at the time I told my son that she needed to tested for dyslexia. She did amazing with a teacher who specialize in dyslexia. She is now grown married and has an amazing job and at 19 was the youngest manager of a prestigious jewelry store.
Your comments about your teacher hit home with me. Thank you. Here I was, a fun-loving girl, probably with ADHD and very right-brained and immature to top it off. A very few of my teachers inspired me, and those who did mean everything to me. Everything. I am now a retired teacher myself. I looked out for the left handed kids, for so many of us are different learners. I tried to discover the hidden qualities of my students. My favorite “regime” in teaching was called DIFFERENT WAYS OF KNOWING. For that is truly what it is all about. Thank you for your effort in these videos. I so appreciate them. Jan in Kentucky
Dear Linda , I love the story of you , your teacher, your dad's building the manger for the nativity you received as a present from her, but most of all the love and kindness from her to you .
Linda I wanted to cry along with you telling your story about your teacher and the nativity. My son is also dyslexic, also class clown, very personable, very athletic, but struggled to read , write and spell, and was teased about it. I know exactly how you felt, he also had a couple special teachers that let him know he had special talents which to this day we both talk about them and how they made a difference. Today he has a very successful business in Manhattan and has told me his dyslexia and ADD was his gift because when you have always had to figure out a different way to learn you naturally are an outside of the box thinker. That nativity set is a god send in more ways than one. ❤️
It's hard to know where to begin. the sights, the sounds, your voice, your sharing something so personal. oh what a treat. i can't thank you enough for your effort in creating something so comforting, beautiful and welcoming , and original, for all of out here lucky enough to know about you.
This may be one of my all time favorite Christmas decor videos of all times. Heartfelt, nostalgic for you, you use lots of natural things collected from outdoors, and use things you’ve used for years, not just went out and dropped hundreds on at Hobby Lobby. Your Christmas decor is thoughtful, curated, interesting and tells YOUR uniquely personal Christmas story. This video has been the Christmas/winter home decor inspiration I’ve been looking for my entire adult life and haven’t found until today. Thank you so much from my heart for sharing. I look forward to your holiday videos this coming year!
You are the perfect one for us. It's You Bringing This Video To Us ! To Celebrate The Birth Of Jesus Christ !!! Love You In The Name Of Jesus Christ, Nancy
To me this is one of the most beautiful Christmas home decorations on TH-cam. Your home should be advertised in a prestigious decorating magazine. Thank you for Sharing and MERRY CHRISTMAS.
I just don’t know where to start, Linda you have created such a beautiful Christmas haven in your home. Like your teacher said you would make Your way in your life....I loved hearing that story....I am a woman of faith and I believe she was an angel in your life. How precious it is to have the Crèche your Dad made and the figures from your teacher. I just love all the trees....so original and stunning. Your home reflects your warm heart and soul. Thank you so much for creating and sharing all your talents with us. I wish you and your family many blessings . Your Christmas decor is just perfection 🙏🏼❤️🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲⛄️
I never thought if Mrs. Cassidy as an angel in my life, but it makes so much sense and from now on I will be thinking of her that way for sure. Thank you
What a beautiful story about your school teacher and father. Having someone else believe in us helps us to believe in ourselves. What a lovely memory ❤
Thank you for sharing your special memory of your teacher . Being a teacher myself I think she gave you the gift to let you know how special you were to her and that she believed in you .
I have watched the video twice. Each time I pick up something I missed. Your story you shared about your teacher was so touching. I love the fact you and your father made the manger together. Your home is so beautiful and inviting. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
I so love all your tree themes. What I wish to share from my heart is that I teared up when you explained the history of your nativity. When someone believes in us, understands who we are at our very depths and expresses that to us, it becomes a part of our souls. When that happens with a relative, it is exceptional but it is something I have never experienced. The chance to do a project with your Father, especially when he recognized the special gift from a unique teacher, is a memory I’m sure you have always treasured. Thank you for welcoming us all into your home, it is something I treasure. 🌲🎄
I absolutely love you! And that story about your 3rd grade teacher, Mrs. Cassidy, starting those beautiful memories for you...well, I cried. And then I shared that story with my sons 15yr. and 6yrs. Because I always tell them that what they say to someone may be what changes a person’s life. And this is a perfect example. So, thank you for sharing. ❤️ 💕
Absolutely stunning! What a beautiful home you have. The snow falling outside was the perfect touch. Thank you for sharing. You’re truly inspirational.
Aw, I love the story about what your teacher said! I was a 3rd grade teacher and I always hope that something I have told a student had an impact on their life. I love stories like that...and also how sweet that you and your dad made the manger together!
I love your videos Linda! I am so glad you had a special third grade teacher who understood your true gifts. My son is also dyslexic and ironically, his third grade teacher once told me that "Daniel's gifts would not be recognized until he was older," much as your teacher told you. He is now writing his doctoral dissertation and should graduate this coming spring.
OMG what a beautiful memory....I'm crying....Thank you Mrs. Cassidy you are one of those special teachers! Absolutely STUNNING! The fairies, Willow and snow OMG!!!!!
Hi Linda your house tour was so beautiful and your Christmas tree. Start your video the snow makes it perfect to start your tour thank you so much for sharing and may God bless you Family🎄❤️
Beautiful tour, grazie I have learned I had dyslexia at 50 when my daughter was in University and was tested for this. The specialist called me for me to explain how she was when she was little. I thought it was normal! Ok learning right and left (and understanding the concept) at 29 years old is late. We have developed ways of working it out differently than others. We are special! lol ciao ciao
Linda, Iam SPEECHLESS, what a beautiful Christmas home.Its cozy,but very elegant. You had me in tears when you share with us the Nativity story. What a special teacher she was your angel when you were a child. The seating room and kitchen were my favorite but then again the whole house is just absolutely stunning . Thank you so much for sharing your home and your private stories with us you viewers.Blessings to you and your family.🎄🥰
Linda your home tour was magnificent. You really did a wonderful job decorating your home. Love every single room. You have so many lovely colonial touches in your home that I love . Thanks for sharing the story about the Nativity. Special memories indeed.
I loved the teacher who gave you the nativity pieces. It also sounds like she also gave you encouragement, love, hope and protection seeing in you, a young child, that you would be strong enough to find your own way and meet your life's challenges. There are several members in my family and amid friends who have dyslexia and ADHD. They struggled in school because their challenges were not recognized. But all of them are smart, kind, good and strong adults with loving, caring and fun personalities! I love your humor and creative personality and you are very smart and great personality too!
Breathtaking! I loved every minute. Both of my daughters are teachers. One, works with exceptional students. Mostly, ADHD and autism. Teachers are angels in disguise.
Oh Linda, what a gorgeous video!!! You have a most beautiful home and I so enjoy how you show the outside and inside your home. And how special of the teacher that gave you the nativity set that has been so special to you all these years. Many blessings to you and your family this Christmas season!
I’m so happy you shared your story about your teacher with us. I wish there were more teachers like her to help children who are struggling. God Bless You.
I'm a retired elementary school teacher, primarily first grade. Tears came to my eyes as you shared the story of your nativity figures and how you came to own them. I hope that I made a difference in the lives of the children I taught as much as your third-grade teacher made a difference in yours. Your dad must be a special guy as well to have not only made the creche for you but also allowed you to help. Those are memories that are without price. God bless you in this journey we call life. You are making a difference in the lives of others. Your teacher was right about your bright future. Your home is so beautiful and is a reflection of the things you hold most dear. God sent the snow to make it even more beautiful.
Everything is lovely as always Linda. What a wonderful story of your teacher, we all need someone to believe in us, what a special lady. Thanks for sharing you beautifully decorated home!
I truly love the elegant simplicity in your decorating. It’s such a relief from the everyday retailer decor so often seen. This is the best video production I’ve seen thus far this year and I enjoyed every minute--didn’t want it to end at just those rooms. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us and may you and yours have a most blessed Christmas season. Love and hugs from Gloria 🎄✝️👼🏻💗💕✝️🎄
Thank you for welcoming me into your home , I had a lovely time ! Instead of making pot puree , why not get out your electric slow cook/crock pot and add fruit , spices , water and/or orange juice , cranberry juice , apple juice . Switch on to ' slow cook ' and wait for the magic to happen ! The result smells wonderful , tastes delicious and you have no worries about it boiling dry and ruining your pan . There's always a fruity , spicy 'hot toddy ' ready to relax with once the decorating's done or to offer to those friends who pop around unexpectedly in the run up to Christmas .
One of the most beautiful Christmas home tours on TH-cam this season. I appreciate how you incorporate childhood treasures into your decorating. You are so creative!
What a beautiful house. Wonderful design, and furniture with beautiful mirrors and decor. The Christmas part, simply dreamy. So traditional, so elegant, just amazing.
Linda, thank you for being brave enough to share your memory of your teacher with us. I imagine most of us hold dear a teacher who made a difference in our lives. We should all do our best to support educators, whether we have children or not. Merry Christmas.
I thank you for opening your door to one of the most beautifully homes I have ever seen. Such class and talent. Thank you and I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas.🎄🎁
Your Tallyho room- I’m in love with the paper and tree. Sometimes I think we are inspired to buy items in advance of knowing the full story. I know that’s been true in my life. I can’t wait to see all of your videos. Thanks for sharing the story behind your nativity. That is so very special. ❤️❤️❤️
That story about your third grade teacher is so touching! And what a wonderful father to make a manger with you, such a loving gesture 💕 Your home is elegant, beautiful and welcoming. I’m on the west coast but I always enjoy visiting the east coast to visit my husbands family in Newport RI. So many gorgeous homes, and the architecture is so pleasing to the eye! Thank you for sharing 🌲
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing your childhood memories with us. My sixth grade teacher gave me his childhood stamp album after I brought stamps in for a hobby show. The memories are precious.
I’ve looked forward to this all day and I am not disappointed. Your home and decor is the most beautiful & cozy home I’ve seen. Thank you for sharing how you hang your garland as well.
Perfectly glorious! Your home is warm and inviting, and your touch is delightful and classic. Your stories of home, family, and people like your teacher, Mrs. Cassidy, that touched your life in such a special way, are so endearing. I enjoyed this visit so very much and would love to return often! Merry Christmas and thank you!
Absolutely beautiful! I can almost smell all the beautiful scents going on in your home, from the wax candles, the cinnamon ornaments to the apple and cranberries simmering on the stove. Your trees are beautiful! Thanks for sharing and inspiring so many us. 🤗💕
Thank you for your beautiful Christmas card and for doing all the hard work involved in bringing a card exchange together. I have loved each and every card I've received. Your home is beautifully decorated and the manger scene is priceless. I would cry over the memory of your teacher too. Wishing you a blessed Christmas.
Linda your home is so elegant. ❤️ I think your teacher gave you that nativity set to remind you that “God created you just the way you are, no mistakes everything serves a purpose even if you can’t see it right now”. I so love the childhood memories you tuck in here and there. You must find it so peaceful to look around and see lovely memories from your childhood. Thank you so much for the crafts you share! My home has a different feel this year thanks to you! 🎄 Merry Christmas!
Hi Linda! This was a wonderful holiday home tour! I love all the natural elements you add to your decor and so fun to learn, we both share a Scottish heritage (as well as our Salem Witch Family)! I love that you add in a touch of bling, makes your home warm, inviting with a bit of glam! Love the vintage bottles hanging in the tree, I am not too far from you, so can't say I'm a fan of the falling snow LOL! I think your furbaby is precious and I had so much fun stopping by for a visit! XXOO
Linda, thank you for inviting me into your beautiful home. I’ve loved watching you prepare for this tour. The music, decorations....everything was wonderful. It put me in such a festive mood I know I’ll be visiting again soon. Merry Christmas to you and your family and may God bless you.
Reminds me of how I used to decorate, in the 80's And I have gone back to that Traditional Colonial Americana- I simply love your choices!! Our Home is an old Farm house built in 1879 originally, although it has been updated quite a bit I still have a lot of original wood work, and I still love all things old world and vintage Thank you for showing us your lovely simplistic Christmas decor- makes me want to sit back and enjoy the sounds, scents and scenes of Christmas pasts
Loved your video. You've sparked my juices to do more decorating this year. Absolutely love the real fruit outdoors . I spray with clear paint spray to keep squirrels from eating. Also thank you for helping me to affirm surrounding myself with what I enjoy. I've had a problem mixing different items; i.e. country and bling
Your holiday house is my favorite Christmas home tour this year...and I've watched MANY...SO tasteful, elegant, and beautiful! All the nostalgia, sentiment, and meaning that are in your lovely treasures is so special. Simply perfection! Everything you do inspires me.
This is by far the very best home tour video I’ve seen. A lifelong New Englander (Southeastern Massachusetts) this decor is my favorite and indicative of our Colonial roots!
When we lived in RI during a corporate move our friends had a home originally started in the 17th century, added on in the 18th century and after made livable for the 20 century a 17th century keeping room without electricity but a large baking fireplace was added on. At Christmas they hosted a Christmas party in the keeping room with only candles! The attire was sweaters, lovely skirts and men in warm slacks. No sweat shirts or sneakers. The menu reflected the 17th century. It was amazing. Your home brings back the simplicity of their home and the love of New England! It is beautiful and loved. The decorations are reflective of much thought. You brought me back to my friends…Rhode Islander and a time I will always cherish. Thank you. I look forward to more videos. Merry Christmas to all!
What a lovely tour of your beautifully festive home! You really have confirmed what your teacher saw in you with so many wonderful talents and it was such a lovely story to share. Everything is so warm and inviting and heartwarming! Each room has so many delightful ideas and depth of beautiful detail and you can just smell the scents wafting through the rooms. I love the mix of earthy colors and materials contrasting with bits of glitz! It makes it that much more interesting. It’s so nice to relax for a moment during such a hectic time that I had to watch more than once! Thanks so much for sharing your gift! Wishing you a Merry Christmas! 🎁
So beautiful and inspiring. You have excellent taste in your home decor. I just love everything. What an awesome teacher you had. She knew what a gift you are. Blessings to you this holiday season ❤️
I like that you use your creativity in decorating rather than the overused commercial decor. Commercial is nice but using natural elements along with thrifted and collected over the years is so much more special. I just loved this Christmas tour. Bravo!
Beautiful home. The teacher gave you the nativity because she wanted you to know how much Jesus loves you. Obviously she really cared about you.
Amen! I think that as well:) The home is beautiful but Jesus is the reason for the season. Jesus said He is the way, the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father except through Him.
John chapter 14 verses
1Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
To all who call Jesus LORD; our mansions are in heaven:)
Blessings in Christ
Maranatha!

I agree

Hearing about your teacher was my favourite part of this video! Really special.
Precious!!!
I was lucky enough to have a career in teaching for 45 years...and I can tell you your teacher loved you dearly and appreciated your happy manner, but wasn't fooled by how hard dyslexia impacted you.

Hello Kathy.Just want to send you lots of love and all of the happiness i can give. Thankyou for being a nice person x
You're an amazing woman. I thank God for your 3rd grade teacher, your Angel with a sweet message. My 2nd grade teacher was amazing too, Ms. Todd. She was so beautiful and soft spoken.
Your home M is so beautiful. Thank you from Texas in America.
Wow-zzaa!!! I will be watching this video over and over and over again! Every part of it was beautiful, but your tender story of your teacher and your dad and the nativity set had me in tears!

Omg! This takes my breath away. The best home tour in TH-cam. You are amazing! Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
I just don’t know where to start, Linda you have created such a beautiful Christmas haven in your home. Like your teacher said you would make

Well said. I loved everything about this video.
God bless those special teachers. The nativity is beautiful!
So tastefully done beautiful warm and cozy👍
Have been waiting for your tour. I will have my coffee with me and pretend I am walking thru your beautiful home with you!!
What a beautiful story about your school teacher and father. Having someone else believe in us helps us to believe in ourselves. What a lovely memory ❤
Thank you for sharing your special memory of your teacher . Being a teacher myself I think she gave you the gift to let you know how special you were to her and that she believed in you .
What a nice change from the usual retail decor, your home is beautiful, warm and welcoming.
I got ‘cold chills’ when you told your childhood memory with your teacher❣️
Your home is beautiful and cozy for the holidays.
The snow falling outside the windows of your home made it that much more magical.
I have watched the video twice. Each time I pick up something I missed. Your story you shared about your teacher was so touching. I love the fact you and your father made the manger together. Your home is so beautiful and inviting. Thank you so much for sharing with us.

I absolutely love you! And that story about your 3rd grade teacher, Mrs. Cassidy, starting those beautiful memories for you...well, I cried. And then I shared that story with my sons 15yr. and 6yrs. Because I always tell them that what they say to someone may be what changes a person’s life. And this is a perfect example. So, thank you for sharing. ❤️ 💕
Linda, you would make an amazing teacher. Children and myself would enjoy learning under your leadership.
You're fabulous.
Absolutely stunning! What a beautiful home you have. The snow falling outside was the perfect touch. Thank you for sharing. You’re truly inspirational.
I got a fox to put in my tree as my;Daddy was a hunter and so;was my brother. They both have gone to be with the Lord. Enjoyed your video. Pat in NC
Seriously my FAVORITE Christmas Home Tour on TH-cam 💕💕💕💕💕!!! What a beautiful home you have!! Merry Christmas 🎄 from Our House 🏡 to yours! 🎅🤶🎉
Aw, I love the story about what your teacher said! I was a 3rd grade teacher and I always hope that something I have told a student had an impact on their life. I love stories like that...and also how sweet that you and your dad made the manger together!
Can I just say your videos are so calming.....I've always been drawn to New England :)
I love your videos Linda! I am so glad you had a special third grade teacher who understood your true gifts. My son is also dyslexic and ironically, his third grade teacher once told me that "Daniel's gifts would not be recognized until he was older," much as your teacher told you.

There's always a fruity , spicy 'hot toddy ' ready to relax with once the decorating's done or to offer to those friends who pop around unexpectedly in the run up to Christmas .
LOVE the fox tree. Lovely home tour.
One of the most beautiful Christmas home tours on TH-cam this season. I appreciate how you incorporate childhood treasures into your decorating. You are so creative!
What a beautiful house. Wonderful design, and furniture with beautiful mirrors and decor. The Christmas part, simply dreamy. So traditional, so elegant, just amazing.
Love the little foxes in their plaid holiday attire! So cute!
Your home is breathtaking, so beautiful! I share a love of brass, pewter and silver and also foxes too. Your treasures are precious. Happy Holidays!
Awe I love the story about your beloved teacher, your home is absolutely gorgeous 🤗🎄💕 thank you for sharing 🙏🏻
The nativity is precious; just as it should be, perfectly primitive. Love it. Blessings to you this Christmas season. 🙏🎄
Such a beautiful home you have ❤🎄
love your childhood memory pieces too
Greetings from the UK
From my husband's account. Hello from Scotland. Love that you used the tartan ribbon on your 🎄 as a nod to your Scottish heritage
Linda, thank you for being brave enough to share your memory of your teacher with us. I imagine most of us hold dear a teacher who made a difference in our lives. We should all do our best to support educators, whether we have children or not. Merry Christmas.
I love your Christmas tree story.
Breathe taking!
Absolutely beautiful Linda! I, too, was touched by the story behind your nativity set. Thanks for sharing with us!
I thank you for opening your door to one of the most beautifully homes I have ever seen. Such class and talent. Thank you and I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas.🎄🎁
It is so refreshing to see a home that is not farmhouse decor but rather of great heritage and design. Absolutely beautiful and heart warming.
You may be dyslexic but you have been blessed with the talent in decorating and storytelling.
Your Tallyho room- I’m in love with the paper and tree. Sometimes I think we are inspired to buy items in advance of knowing the full story. I know that’s been true in my life. I can’t wait to see all of your videos. Thanks for sharing the story behind your nativity. That is so very special. ❤️❤️❤️
That story about your third grade teacher is so touching! And what a wonderful father to make a manger with you, such a loving gesture 💕
Your home is elegant, beautiful and welcoming. I’m on the west coast but I always enjoy visiting the east coast to visit my husbands family in Newport RI. So many gorgeous homes, and the architecture is so pleasing to the eye! Thank you for sharing 🌲
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing your childhood memories with us. My sixth grade teacher gave me his childhood stamp album after I brought stamps in for a hobby show. The memories are precious.
What a lovely home you have. Your channel is so soothing and relaxing. TFS
What a beautiful home. I loved the simplicity of the decor. Thank you.
I’ve looked forward to this all day and I am not disappointed. Your home and decor is the most beautiful & cozy home I’ve seen. Thank you for sharing how you hang your garland as well.
Perfectly glorious! Your home is warm and inviting, and your touch is delightful and classic. Your stories of home, family, and people like your teacher, Mrs. Cassidy, that touched your life in such a special way, are so endearing. I enjoyed this visit so very much and would love to return often! Merry Christmas and thank you!
Lovely lovely home. Everything has the correct look. Have a wonderful Holiday Season . Pastor KL Freeman
You certainly know how to decorate a house. I only dream of having a beautiful house. 🙏❤️😊
Love your fox and hound room, the tree is gorgeous. Now your video has inspired me so much, it’s my favorite. Thank you.
Thanks so much for the tour Linda. Absolutely spectacular!
Absolutely beautiful! I can almost smell all the beautiful scents going on in your home, from the wax candles, the cinnamon ornaments to the apple and cranberries simmering on the stove. Your trees are beautiful! Thanks for sharing and inspiring so many us. 🤗💕
Thank you for your beautiful Christmas card and for doing all the hard work involved in bringing a card exchange together. I have loved each and every card I've received. Your home is beautifully decorated and the manger scene is priceless. I would cry over the memory of your teacher too. Wishing you a blessed Christmas.
Linda your home is so elegant. ❤️ I think your teacher gave you that nativity set to remind you that “God created you just the way you are, no mistakes everything serves a purpose even if you can’t see it right now”. I so love the childhood memories you tuck in here and there. You must find it so peaceful to look around and see lovely memories from your childhood. Thank you so much for the crafts you share! My home has a different feel this year thanks to you! 🎄 Merry Christmas!
Hi Linda! This was a wonderful holiday home tour! I love all the natural elements you add to your decor and so fun to learn, we both share a Scottish heritage (as well as our Salem Witch Family)! I love that you add in a touch of bling, makes your home warm, inviting with a bit of glam! Love the vintage bottles hanging in the tree, I am not too far from you, so can't say I'm a fan of the falling snow LOL! I think your furbaby is precious and I had so much fun stopping by for a visit! XXOO
Linda, thank you for inviting me into your beautiful home. I’ve loved watching you prepare for this tour. The music, decorations....everything was wonderful. It put me in such a festive mood I know I’ll be visiting again soon. Merry Christmas to you and your family and may God bless you.
Reminds me of how I used to decorate, in the 80's And I have gone back to that Traditional Colonial Americana- I simply love your choices!! Our Home is an old Farm house built in 1879 originally, although it has been updated quite a bit I still have a lot of original wood work, and I still love all things old world and vintage Thank you for showing us your lovely simplistic Christmas decor- makes me want to sit back and enjoy the sounds, scents and scenes of Christmas pasts
Loved your video. You've sparked my juices to do more decorating this year. Absolutely love the real fruit outdoors . I spray with clear paint spray to keep squirrels from eating. Also thank you for helping me to affirm surrounding myself with what I enjoy. I've had a problem mixing different items; i.e. country and bling
I taught 34 years. 31 in Third Grade. Your home is beautiful. Your teacher saw potential in you. It's ok to learn differently.💕🎄💕
Thank you so much! It took me a long time to realize that.
Your holiday house is my favorite Christmas home tour this year...and I've watched MANY...SO tasteful, elegant, and beautiful! All the nostalgia, sentiment, and meaning that are in your lovely treasures is so special. Simply perfection! Everything you do inspires me.
This is by far the very best home tour video I’ve seen. A lifelong New Englander (Southeastern Massachusetts) this decor is my favorite and indicative of our Colonial roots!
When we lived in RI during a corporate move our friends had a home originally started in the 17th century, added on in the 18th century and after made livable for the 20 century a 17th century keeping room without electricity but a large baking fireplace was added on. At Christmas they hosted a Christmas party in the keeping room with only candles! The attire was sweaters, lovely skirts and men in warm
slacks. No sweat shirts or sneakers. The menu reflected the 17th century. It was amazing.
Your home brings back the simplicity of their home and the love of New England! It is beautiful and loved. The decorations are reflective of much thought.
You brought me back to my friends…Rhode Islander and a time I will always cherish. Thank you. I look forward to more videos.
Merry Christmas to all!
What a lovely tour of your beautifully festive home! You really have confirmed what your teacher saw in you with so many wonderful talents and it was such a lovely story to share. Everything is so warm and inviting and heartwarming! Each room has so many delightful ideas and depth of beautiful detail and you can just smell the scents wafting through the rooms. I love the mix of earthy colors and materials contrasting with bits of glitz! It makes it that much more interesting. It’s so nice to relax for a moment during such a hectic time that I had to watch more than once! Thanks so much for sharing your gift! Wishing you a Merry Christmas! 🎁
So beautiful and inspiring. You have excellent taste in your home decor. I just love everything. What an awesome teacher you had. She knew what a gift you are. Blessings to you this holiday season ❤️
