10 Ways To Make Your Home Look Bigger On A Budget! Thrift Store Chic Decor

Make your small home look big with 10 decorating miracle tips.! I take you through my 1939 cottage and show you some tricks I use to make my rooms look twice as big as they are. So much happened this week~ I planted a new garden, I found a new table and chairs for my sunroom and my office gained a bookcase, coffee table and lovely linen/wood chair.
My wedding dress for Aug. 5th is revealed. Over 6,000 votes and I show you the dress you liked best.
Thank you so much for helping me!!!
Do we have to be great at something to enjoy it? I chat about my love of something I have no talent for...
Perhaps the key to decorating is to visualize what you wish the room to be way before we buy the first piece of furniture.
Decorate with imagination and heart...just like the life we lead...if we can imagine it we can find a way to achieve it...if only in our hearts.
My Love to you always & always!
Susan & Desi
I am sorry I am late tonight...a storm hit my area and I was delayed.

No sooner do we think we have assembled a comfortable life than we find a piece of ourselves that has no place to fit in. So we grow, we change and we learn to walk a new exciting path...at any age.

I have been in my home 55 years and I love it more each day. My husband and I worked hard to do two additions and remodels. After 60 years together he was called home and I want to remain in my home forever. I know he is here in spirit and still enjoys my garden. May you and Desi enjoy making memories in your new home

[Jennybeeeeee]

Desi is sleeping behind you. How precious ❤

[redmoon]

I have to say Americans small is UK big. Your house is big. I live in a flat (apartment) your living room part is 3 times bigger than mine. It's beautiful, I am so jealous, you have decorated in an amazing way. It just looks gorgeous, hope you and Dazie have many amazing fun loved years there. Well done you!!

[mkbrown]

Seeing Desi sleeping behind you blessed my soul. As a child locked in a closet and now free and content I relate to Desi. Love you both❤🐾

[marylourubright]

I found that working with plants and putting my hands in the soil brings contentment in my life

[carolkokx]

I live in a one-bedroom 500 square-foot apartment so I think your house is huge absolutely happy for you that you were able to buy your own home. It is beautiful inside and out

Thanks for posting this evening! I'm so happy that the #4 dress is the winner for the wedding! It is very elegant and you do sparkle in it! Yay! I do love your decorating style - you do make your home feel welcoming - it shows in the videos! Having your sunroom to escape to is such an asset to your home! It's just lovely. Desi looks like he's really enjoying his yard and the neighbor! Keep being the wonderful person that you are and I can't wait for your next upload! Take care and hugs to you and Desi!🤗

[erinneill]

All I can look at is Desi's sleeping face behind you. What a sweet little fellow. He's just moved. One can only wish happiness on him.

I feel like my decorating style continues to change as I age. I'm choose to decorate like you with things that make me happy and that I love. I also enjoy thrifting. One man's junk is another man's treasure! Your flowers and home are lovely. Desi is so sweet and your new neighbor loves him too🥰 You are building your home of happiness☺

[kateg]

I truly love how you're not worrying, or thinking about what will happen or won't. You're just so happy with being now. That's really cool. Love to you and to Desi xx

[kathleentinley]

I could watch Desi run in the yard all day.

[lyndaslocs]

I like to see Desi chilling behind you on the couch.

[patriciamason]

Love your videos! Your home is decorated beautifully! I would love to own my own home again, I miss that. To have a garden would be heaven and a yard for my little dog, Bebe. I live in a senior citizen apartment complex for the last 14 years. At my age, this is good for me. No maintenance and if there is, call the maintenance man. ((smiles)) I love thrift shops; I had one when I was young. Love finding those treasures!!! Thank you for your inspiration and advice! See you next week.

[Cathy_fifties]

Desi looks so cute behind you fast asleep. 😂😊 ❤❤❤

[aujkalenic]

Oh yes our dear friend Linda, I thoroughly trust Ms Linda's visions time & time again!
Her famous words " don't let your plants bully you!"🎉 ❤

[MaryKayAbblett]

I moved to my husband's house a year ago and it has been tough getting him to accept change but he's giving in. I love a softer look built on comfort and use of every space.

I sit here after watching your uplifting video and I crave more Susan! Lol! I can't tell you how much your weekly videos mean to me. It is always a happy Saturday evening when I watch your videos. We just got done remodeling our home...the entire home. She was built in 1958 and nothing had been done to this lady. Now? our home is beautiful and I'm in love! And the topper is all of your tips that you shared are exactly what we have done. Light walls, light rugs....and so forth. Your home is absolutely beautiful Susan. I love how you decorated it. The dress....gorgeous on you. Have a great week!
