Hello Anita, what a lovely cosy colour you have painted your living room, looks lovely now but how amazing will it look in the Autumn and Winter when you have all your candles lit, ❤

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Hi Penny, thank you so much! Oh that’s exactly what I was thinking as I look so forward to autumn and Winter☺️☺️☺️

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you so much Sara☺️☺️

[@lianeabeyta4515]

Very sweet, fresh and cozy for spring. Love those soft muted blue florals so much. And I too love ladder back or black Windsor chairs in the kitchen. I have the Windsors

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you!! Oh I would love some windsors:-) I am always looking on marketplace for some in my price range:-)

[@lisapieper3598]

Love all of your home!

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you so much Lisa!!

[@lisahoffmann3274]

I love your decorating style!!!

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you so much!

[@sandystafford5845]

Anita, everything looks amazing. Watching this video just takes you back in time to a simpler time when people really valued family, home and simple pleasures. Definitely warm, cozy and come for a visit. I certainly hope this was your goal because thats in my view what you created. Blessings

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Oh I could not be more thankful for that Sandy, because that’s exactly what I hoped to create☺️☺️

[@paranormalnora]

Nice

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thanks

[@demijo2227]

Missing your videos ❤

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

I have a summer homestead recap coming Monday!! It’s been so crazy here with the garden and getting things preserved, so I’ll post Monday night then on to fall content🙏🙏❤️❤️

[@demijo2227]

@@WhisperingPinesHomestead Oh yay!!!! The new paint color in fall is going to be very beautiful 😍 Excited 🤎

[@jangroves4978]

I can’t find the links to the other ladies on the tour

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

They are on the blog at the very end☺️

[@look2Jesus]

Thank you so much Anita for sharing your absolutely perfect and stunning home with us! It blows me away every time. Also, thank you for encouraging us to be wise with our resources and use what we already have in a new way or in a financially feasible way!

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Oh, I really appreciate those kind words thank you so much☺️☺️☺️

[@kokeshidoll5863]

I especially love your kitchen! The floral fabric takes me way back, and I love how you've managed to incorporate the stainless and create such a soft, welcoming design.

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Oh thank you so much for saying that because that’s something I have hoped that I could do☺️ I realized in a lot of my favorite old kitchens, they have moved in a new stove or something as a basic upgrade that happens naturally over time, and and somehow they make them look natural☺️☺️

[@robbinl4355]

I'm new to this channel, and so far, I love it. The decor is beautiful, warm, and inviting. Thank you for sharing your home.

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you so very much! I’m so happy to have you here☺️☺️☺️

[@sandraparker2988]

I was just in awe throughout the entire video. Love everything. The kitchen curtains are to die for.❤

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you so much! I love that fabric so very much and was excited to sew it into curtains☺️☺️

[@lucyllanio8950]

Anita everything is absolutely gorgeous. Love the fabric at your kitchen window. I'm always in awe at all of your work. Have a wonderful summer.

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

I so appreciate that Lucy, thank you!! I’m going to be “enjoying” it in the garden the next few weeks☺️☺️😂😂

[@sharenp3839]

I love the gray color walls. It’s so relaxing and the new ladderback chairs. They really brighten up the dining room., beautiful as always ❤️

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you Sharen, I really appreciate that! I’m really happy with the change and feel like I can make all the fabric changes that I’d like to make more easily☺️☺️☺️

[@marlenestephenson1239]

Love your summer home and you always inspire me. That lamp is so perfect for that area of your home.

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you, that’s the best thing to know that someone is inspired☺️☺️☺️ I was searching for one for a while for that corner so I could not believe I found one☺️☺️

[@justineclark5431]

Good morning Anita! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful, and inspiring, home tour for Summer! I love the Bridge lamp, and how you made it beautiful! I have an old brass one, with a pink glass shade, that has been thrill me for decades! Your videos are delightful, and one of my favorite home tours for any season! 🌸🌺🌼❤

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

I so appreciate that, thank you!!! Wow, your lamp sounds beautiful - and with a glass shade is super special!!

[@Elizabeth-ke3ti]

❤ Beautuful home! Thanks for all the great ideas!

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you so much!!

[@joanne1681]

Thanks once again for a beautiful home tour💕💕

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

I appreciate that, thank you☺️

[@debidurham984]

So pretty!! Each room is stunning!!😊

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you Debi!!

[@MissLee545]

I can’t believe I missed this video! Everything is just beautiful! I love your lamp and the new paint color, and the ladder back chairs are perfect! I noticed the calendar from 1968. Aside from being identical to 2024, is it a special year for you? It’s such a lovely, nostalgic touch. ❤

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you so much! I just love vintage calendars, and when I realized they repeat, I bought some several years back and just use them over and over:-)

[@judymills7157]

New subscriber from CT. Happy to have found you; you decorate in my favorite style. Enjoyed every minute.

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you so much Judy, I’m so glad to have you here!!

[@ednawoolard5763]

That wall color is it!!! love that one..... thanks for posting and as always I enjoy seeing all of your arrangements. You are without a doubt a talented lady!

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you so much! I just love it, and I always loved it on the cabinetry and comparing it to the dark gray I had, this one just seem to be perfect and a great backdrop for all of the changes I like to make with my fabrics, etc., seasonally☺️☺️☺️

[@suzismith9681]

❤ I'm new here. Love that lamp you painted. My go-to paint color is oil rubbed bronze. Just love it, not quite as hard as black (love that too) .it seems to soften the black somehow , more gentle on the eye, brings a depth to the decor.

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Yes I mentioned in the video I think or on Instagram maybe that I may brush on some bronze to it☺️

[@teresaward8464]

Beautiful as always! Maybe I missed it at some time but I’m curious about the gorgeous old screen door in your kitchen. Did it come out of the old house & is it your pantry? Also would love to see an outdoor tour of your gardens etc. Thank you for the beautiful videos!

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Yes, it did come out of the old house and goes to our pantry / mudroom / laundry space, which I never show because everything is just stacked in there😂😂. We have been planning a pantry makeover for a while so when my husband has time he’s planning to build the shelving for me and I’ll share that☺️☺️

[@spinstercatlady]

Lovely! Your video inspired me to purchase some new olive green velvet throw pillows for my living room ❤

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Oh yay! I love those pillow covers too and I’m actually using them in the bedroom right now, but they’ll probably be in the living room for Christmas☺️☺️☺️

[@AcornHillHomestead]

Rewiring a lamp is sooo easy and inexpensive. My best lamps are thrifted.

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Yes! That was the first electrical thing I learned to do, and it definitely comes in handy☺️☺️☺️

[@angelahutton9494]

I'm so sad to see the rose colored walls of your living room go!😢 The grey is nice but I loved the rose that it was before. 🤗

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

I know what you mean☺️☺️ I loved it too, I think the light actually in this room was the only thing that made me kind of want to change up to something more neutral, but I’ll still be using those colors in my decor☺️

[@donnajenkins9493]

New subscriber here. I love your decorating style.

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you so much! I’m happy to have you here☺️

[@aswinthasteketee5771]

Looks so beautiful. Thank you for sharing. 😊👌❤️

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you so very much☺️☺️☺️

[@susanweicht5548]

Everything is so beautiful ❤️

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you Susan☺️☺️☺️

[@girgitirshongshar8178]

Good job❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you ☺️☺️☺️

[@MaryKayAbblett]

I've used rustoleum paint often

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Yes I love it☺️

[@aileenj993]

Wow what a beautiful and warm cozy home. I have a question about the tray above the stove. I have a similar one and it’s hand painted. I have tried putting it there as well but very worried about oil and food splatter. Do you remove it each time you cook? I tried that too but it got to be too much.

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you so much!! I don’t really cook anything that splatters, it if I do fry something, I use the front burner and haven’t had an issue. When I cook bacon on my griddle, though, I hang a tea towel over it☺️ Also I kind of have the tray there to protect the wood☺️

[@aileenj993]

Ooh I didn’t think to hang a tea towel over it. Thats a great idea. Thank you for replying ❤

[@MaryKayAbblett]

Is your TV in the cabinet

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Yes it is.

[@sheilabailey937]

The living room color is sooooo nice

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you!! I really needed something more neutral so I could rotate all the fabrics I like to change, and this just seems the right level of neutral and a little drama:-)

[@kimberlyespinoza7970]

Beautiful home!!

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you so much!!

[@cindyk4294]

Very pretty, a bit dark. It’s daylight and you have every lamp in the house on. Lovely!

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Ha ha I have three small lamps on because I am shooting video, which requires much more light the way I shoot. Also I have dark chenille curtains blocking a lot of the light as well, a covered porch on the front, and the trees shade our house all summer as well. I actually prefer a darker, cool feel inside when it’s hot outside though too☺️ If you visit the blog and see the photos, though, there are no lights on☺️

[@MaryKayAbblett]

Love your lace curtains

[@WhisperingPinesHomestead]

Thank you, those are vintage and came from the house of a neighbor who passed away years ago☺️☺️
