I am thrilled to find you and wonderful tips. I own a small home. And on a fixed income. This is exactly what I need to help make my home cozy and enjoyable.

[GinaAdams-twlh]

I agree about buying high quality basic everyday items, I add character and individuality with thrift finds and occasional furnishings, I love to mix and match

[HomesteadingWays]

I have bought several original pieces of art for a song at estate sales. I agree, support your community or local artists wherever possible.

Such wonderful tips, I agree 100%~ We invested in our couch many years ago....and have had it recovered twice over the years (adding to the cushions to keep them super full and soft.) We will never regret that purchase! We did the same with towels, and have been using the same ones for years now (we bought an off white color.) Fantastic video!!

[nlvmruu]

tbh this is such a good comprehensive video i wish i had the money for all of it

[gracerodriguez]

I agree in purchasing nicer bedding and towels you definitely feel the difference 😊

[trinidyflinders]

First ❤🎉 perfect for those of us who have crap thrift stores

[KristineS-yu]

Just found you and love your ideas and recommendations

Great video! Most furniture and art that I've purchased are 2nd hand and very unique. Lately I've had great luck finding original oil paintings in an antique mall that I occasionally go to. I just picked up 4 paintings (good sized ones), which were marked down to $8.00 each! The frames on them are stunning as well and would have been quite costly on their own. I enjoy them so much and they are one-of-a-kind.

I think you are great! You are soft spoken and I love watching you. Your ideas and your makeover videos are fantastic.

Very interesting video, thanks. I do try and follow the same principles but I have a tendency to choose unusual coloured towels that don't work when I repaint so I'm trying to be more neutral. I grew up in a 70's house with crazy coloured/patterned towels though so it's hard to buy a neutral 😂 I wish I hadn't bought my wooden tv stand and had done something modular with USM Haller or similar. Maybe it's time to start selling stuff on FBM...

Towels, I totally switched to woven Turkish towels. They are light, dry quickly, don't get put in the drier, improve with time. In my house towels will start to smell moldy in summer, they are so heavy to carry to the laundry and not energy efficient to dry. Buy the best quality ones.

[LavoyaSearcy-wztp]

Love the Linen!! I have experimented with the lighting, and I love it also!! I changed my light bulbs for all LED bulbs throughout the house and outside and cut my energy bill in half!!

[khill]

All our rugs are wool. Just a note.. they do tend to shed so much at first so just be ready for that. Thx for another great video. 👍

[bonniejordan]

I always look forward to you posting on Sunday. Great video.

[lindaroyal]

Very good information and certainly makes sense. The linens especially worth investing in quality, great points.

[margiegarcia-hall]

Thanks for all the tips 😊 great video.

Love your site! I need to design my many cookbooks... I like to read them and some I cook out of, but I just rotate them currently. Love to see some style for them...

[tracythaemar]

I’m new to this channel, has LK decorated the kitchen yet? I would love to see her take on a med-century/Spanish revival kitchen.

[MsEscobar]

Can I have the link to your top? So cute!
