I am 68 years old. I have never followed what the style gurus decide is all the rage. My children slept in bedroom furniture from our grandparents homes. They had a designated place for toys. The one time I caved and let my daughter have pink walls in her bedroom, we repainted to off-white in a few years time because she outgrew it. Your home is wonderful. You are blessed to have such wonderful family heirlooms. Your show is special because you make a glorious home with a budget in mind. If I were you, the minute I felt negative vibes in a comment, I would stop reading and delete it. Bless you and keep you and your precious family.

Your home is my dream home and thank you for allowing God to guide your life and sharing with me. God Bless you always❤❤❤

Let some of the naysayers live in a 100 year old house, and they might better understand how and why you live like you do (and I do). They might have handed you lemons, but God helped you to make lemonade with the lessons learned and the beautiful story of the "toile fabric". How amazing and faithful HE is with that blessing!

For perspective, right now I know a child that has no bedroom and is sleeping on her living room couch. It’s the love in the home that matters the most and the wellbeing of the family.

Hi Kristen, it really upset me that people criticised the beautiful bedroom makeover you carried out. It is your home and you do whatever you want to your home. When I was a child I shared a bedroom with four of my brothers and sisters. There were only beds and chests of drawers in the room. It was a room for sleeping in and we all slept well after our wonderful mother said a prayer with us and kissed us goodnight. I have six older brothers and sisters too and they all had their own bedrooms and there was only a bed and a chest of drawers or a wardrobe in their bedrooms. We played outside or in the loungeroom - never ever in a bedroom. I absolutely love your videos. You give me so much inspiration and joy. Keep up the great work of giving your family all your love and kindness.

It's so nice to see a home filled with personality from things you love. Most houses on decorating/thrifting videos have the same look, full of shades of tan and white, white dishes, pale paint and rugs, and those overdone wall signs about love and family. Your house has something unique and interesting everywhere you look. You can tell your things were chosen because you love them, not because they're trendy and like everyone else's decor. They say when you walk into a home, it should tell something about its owners. Your house says you love things because of their beauty and meaning, NOT that you're unimaginative. Please keep it up!!

Kristen, the message on ‘approval from others’ is a message that I continue to need to hear! Thank you! And, the make-over in Ivy’s Room/Nursery… I’m shocked that anyone would hope for a ‘follow-the-herd’ Nursery (seen almost everywhere) from a woman who has such depth & a God-given gift with which to offer so, so much more; a true, rich, meaningful, purposeful & timeless beauty as seen in Ivy’s Room/the Nursery! Thank you for being who HE made you to be. ~Praying for you & your precious crew!

Oh sweet girl! I am so proud of you for the way you handled all of the criticism. I want to give you a big hug and say I am so incredibly impressed at how someone like you at such a young age can handle the ugliness that’s out there. When we hate on each other and we criticize, it’s exactly what Satan wants. I wish we could all just do what our Father wants us to do and love on each other and lift each other up. That aside, I absolutely love the nursery. I haven’t even watched the whole video but needed to tell you this. ❤

Are you kidding? I didn’t see nursery video but how dare people criticize. People are mean and miserable and if any haters are reading this, shame on them. Good for you for taking it with a smile and humor.

You are so right! What you and your family like does not ever have to be ok with anybody else. You are happy, your children and your husband seem to be happy. Hey even the dog looks happy. Not everybody can keep that many people happy. You just keep doing what you do . I think you are doing an amazing job.. Some of us old ladies have been there and done that. I certainly have learned that I am me and i am a human who should be free to do the best I can . I like the room a lot by the way.

Kristen the nursery is beautiful. It is so nice to see a classic non trendy nursery/ little girl room. You don’t have anything to justify. It is so meaningful to incorporate heirlooms into the room. I’ll give you 2 thumbs up! You should be proud of the room and the rest of your house.

You shouldn't be bothered by those negative comments because i can guarantee your style is your family's unique style. It doesn't have to please or follow the likes and wants of others to see in your home... because your home is different from theirs. You have a wonderful style in every different corner of your home. From the last video i just put thumbs up because it's pretty and I still thought it was wonderful and very calming to be a children's room. It's also good that you accept such a comment with a laugh and smile. You've done good, much better it's great for the happiness of your family.

Kristen, the entire house looks like a cozy farmhouse. The flowers and plants are so pretty sitting around. And as far as the nursey, redo..I thought it was so cute...so real. It's real life. Plus, I don't like pink at all. So it's right up my alley. Kristen, you do you and for your family and don't worraboutut anyone else. Yall live there, not us. ❤❤

Everyone has an opinion. Those that feel the need to criticize others always seem to be injecting their own feelings onto others. Don’t let those people with that kind of negativity get to you. I LOVE that you’ve chosen such a timeless esthetic!

Holaaa Kristen! Primera vez que visito tú canal y me gusta mucho tu decoración, es acogedora...respecto a Los comentarios sobre la decoración de la habitación, lo realmente importante es cómo te sientes tú y tú familia, si lo disfrutan y viven felices en un ambiente hecho con amor, detalle a detalle 😍👏...al final son ustedes quienes viven allí, Y me encanta la historia del burrito ❤, va perfectamente con el deseo de vivir sin tomar en cuenta lo que digan los demás 👏👏. También la anécdota sobre Jesús 😔. Sigue adelante. Recibe un cordial saludo y bendiciones para tu familia, desde Venezuela! 🙆💛💙❤🌟

Your home is stunning and I can see how you cherish your families heirlooms. You are blessed. Negative people will always be plentiful, if only they could live with kindness and remember….mama always said, “ if you don’t have anything good to say, then don’t say anything at all!”

I love your nursery - indeed your whole home. It is tasteful and classic. The hobgoblin of home decorating in your generation is the homogenous, "pottery barn" gray walls, sectional couch we all look the same concept. Your little girls seem happy, loving and confident on camera - so I doubt your decor choice are affecting them negatively. Your home is lovely and I appreciate you sharing it. So happy you are able to give the negative comments the weight they deserve - none.

I don’t comment usually on anything I watch on You Tube, but I must say that I find your baby’s/little girl’s room absolutely cozy, lovely and unique. I would feel very loved in that room at any age. It feels like generations of family have generously added to the charm and safety and comfort there. Also I love the way you stood up for being yourself! I am inspired by you.

Over the last few months you seem to be so much more self confident, satisfied and happy, than previously. Before you always seemed to be apologetic about elements of your house, your purchases or just yourself. That’s seems to have all gone and you are coming across as stronger and much more insightful. Congratulations and that story was so apt and so right. As you Americans say ‘you do you’. 👏🏽 (I’m from the U.K.)

I look forward to them every Sunday.
