Budget Decorating a Small House - Vlog Over 50

[@alicehamdi9201]

Love your vlogs❤️. Tip for your cut flowers - strip the leaves off the stems where they touch water and your arrangement will last longer.

[@kimdalrymple2288]

Alice-I was just thinking the same thing!

[@CiTalMe]

Thinking the same, as well

[@loridobos7174]

Loving the new house vlogs, and your two little helpers are adorable.

[@PrettyOverFifty]

Thanks for stopping by Lori!

[@dedefoutch6827]

Kimberly, you continue to be one of my favorite peeps, l really enjoy all aspects of your journey and find you inspirational too, keep it up !

[@sjsp7631]

Another flower tip. When you bring any flowers home fill up the sink with water, trim the stems for a fresh bottom cut. Submerge then soak flowers in sink for 1-3 hours. Shake off excess water and arrange. The water soak will extend the life for a least a week. That’s why flower shops store their flowers in tubs of water

[@pattipowell8750]

Moving is so unsettling and you are still smiling. Your attitude is great and so is your decor. Dry brushing the mirror is a beautiful improvement. The plant shelf couldn't be more perfect. Middle age minx mentioned you in latest vlog. 😊

[@danat3961]

I am really loving your vlogs!

[@beckymoe9194]

Paint the breaker box the same color as the room it will make it blend in than put a fake tree in the corner than you wont even know its there❤️👍

[@AMDG_-nk2dp]

Don't forget resale shops and thrift places. They can really be a resource for treasure finds. Not only knick knacks, but accent tables, and dining essentials. Happy 😊 adventures and treasure hunting. BTW, little Lucy Lou is so precious, cute and adorable. Please give her a big hug and smooch 😘 from your viewers. Enjoy ☺️ your new home 🏡!!!

[@melcsmakeupstyle5409]

Love watching these vlogs Kimberly! Your "little helpers" are pretty cute!

[@celiakeith7494]

Welcome to the south! I’ve lived here all my life and it feeds my soul. Your adventure is so fun to watch. Keep us posted!

[@JillKirchner]

Kimberly, you are a true California girl. I have learned a lot about skincare! Thanks!! I am a Carolina girl and have grown up in this farmland State. I trust our farmers to take care of our supply of food. Enjoy our wonderful peaches and abundance of produce grown by all of our farmers. Thankfully, we leave our food produce up to the farmers and not the government. Can you see a difference in our way of life as opposed to California? So glad you chose the South. 😃ps I thought of the canvas hack, but couldn't get it into my car! Great idea!!!

[@karlaharvey2623]

Thank you for taking us along with you as you transform your house into your home. Soo enjoy seeing Lucy and kitty. What a lovely community.

[@danaleepipes8312]

One way to disguise the breaker panel is to wrap your curtains around in that corner. It would give the illusion of larger window.

[@elizabethmaloneorlando217]

That's was my suggestion, great minds think alike. Lol😄

[@stylewithcathyover50]

Loved this vlog Kimberly! I'm so sorry that you are having to deal with issues in your new home, hopefully everything gets sorted out quickly. Love your two box inspectors! LOL Buddy, my cat, loves doing the same. 💖

[@BusyBeeMaree]

Hello, Coming over from Middle Aged Minx. I’ve been watching Jo for a couple of years now. She’s such a laugh. I just went to England last week and found the Walking Lady in Carnaby Street and just had to submit an email. I’m subscribing to your channel. I believe in building one another up. Have a great day.

[@elizabethmaloneorlando217]

Fur babies are enjoying themselves, they're adjusting so well & so have you. Love the farmers market & diy looks brighter. 🌹🌻🍄🌼🌷

[@mkbrown3902]

Brewers (nutritiona)l yeast, which has B vitamins, really helps with bugs, as a southern girl I found especially in the summer adding to my salads really makes a difference and I sprinkle on my dogs food as well. Thanks for sharing your journey happy house nesting.

[@beckymoe9194]

So in addition to the beauty and makeup i like the home day in the life part i am loving it. Don’t forget to remove all the leaves on your flowers before you put them in h2o makes them last longer❤️👍

[@SleepyHollow1974]

Beautiful decor! I Love you dog and kitty! So sweet too!❤️❤️❤️

[@Lexi_________]

I'm enjoying watching you set up this cute little house! I have a suggestion on how to cover that breaker panel...if it were me I'd extend the window treatment to round the corner. It would create a cozy look, make it appear as if there were a window there instead of an unsightly breaker box, as well as make the room appear larger. Just my thoughts! Have a wonderful day xo

[@lisadeangelo244]

What a great idea!!!

[@EvangeliseGood]

Yes I was thinking tie back some soft voluminous drapes (we call em curtains here in Ireland)

[@starfishjennie]

I agree😎

[@trisha3338]

I thought exactly that when I saw the breaker panel, yesterday!

[@dianevp8644]

Maybe a decorative ornamental tie back on the far side of the breaker box, pull the fabric all to that side to tuck in the holder and hiding the box. Sometimes Amish folks will swag their drapes/curtains towards the same side on all of their windows -- so different and interesting.

[@pattirose54]

Thank you for sharing your new adventure! I lived in South Carolina several years ago and loved it. The folk down there are delightful.

[@Cracovianka14]

Kimberly, I came down with a nasty called which enabled me to catch up.on your videos. I am binging all your moving vlogs. I love them. I can't get over Aiken. What a gem of a small town. I can't get over how much it has to offer and how pretty it is. Warm hugs from the Windy City.

[@marianhall9126]

I love your farmers market. Everything looked so good. Flowers are beautiful. Things are coming together for you.

[@70sladyalways25]

I love your ginger fur babies and the new place 😊❤️

[@monasantos3346]

The best part of this video, are your furbabies! Its great that you have already have a friend there to spend time with. I Enjoyed the progress of your move, everything will come together soon.

[@nancyhensler5569]

Loved this vlog today. How exciting to be in your new place! Looking forward to the next one.😊

[@barblafargue1076]

I am enjoying your farmers market trip, flower arrangement starts by putting a copper penny in the water quick stir an NO leaves left on the stems below the water line I so enjoy your information. Hang in there moving across the country is a big undertaking an enjoy the bouquet you deserve it. Kiss Lucy Lou for us. We enjoy all your knowledge.

[@carolinagirl9896]

Love these house vlogs. Also love watching Lucy and your kitty. They are so cute. Love taking this journey with you. Hope everything gets straightened out with your house issues.

[@ajcrum3689]

moving is so hard i hate it but love the new beginning . my body hurts so much with all the unpacking

[@miriamdevries7627]

I love seeing you getting settled in, Kimberly! The plant stand is perfection! 🥰

[@jenfaulman]

It tickles me that I saw someone I know behind you at the Farmer's Market. 😄 Also, I used to sell vegan tomato pie at that market! It's so good! I can make one for you sometime. 💕

[@jenfaulman]

Ooo, and those flowers are beautiful!!

[@PrettyOverFifty]

Yes!!!!

[@dedefoutch6827]

So very nice, Kimberly, what an awesome community you've chosen and are part of, happy for you!

[@sarawarren1358]

I am thrilled that you are giving the South a try!

[@melindagenitempo2359]

How fun and thank you for sharing the transformation! I couldn't help but laugh at the kitty getting in the box.

[@PrettyOverFifty]

Kitty = Box ALWAYS!!

[@melindagenitempo2359]

@@PrettyOverFifty mine too!!❤

[@edieohoxoxo932]

Looking good. One day at a time... One bit of advice; make sure that your refrigerator does not put out heat on the side. Hopefully it's insulated enough so that it won't affect your plants and also with your beautiful cut flowers, clip lower leaves to keep them out of water. They will last longer and won't rot as quickly. Keep up the good work...enjoy watching!

[@andreapulver2127]

Kimberly! Your skin looks great! So refined and clear! Plus I'm thinking Aitkin is probably humid, which really makes a difference in moisture and plumpness. I will follow you faithfully, wherever you live!

[@carolmichael8585]

Love what you did with the mirror! What a difference!

[@susanned.9615]

Too funny about Lucy! - My dog Lucy(!) did the same thing when I moved last summer. I actually had to replace my mail slot with a box because Lucy was chewing the deliveries 😉

[@shesipi1]

homemade Insect Anti-itch roll-on! 17 drops lavender, 15 drops preferment, 8 drops tea tree oil, fill the rest of the glass roll on bottle with Aloe Vera gel and a bit of fractionated coconut oil. I love this recipe and it works so fast and is amazing to stop itch!

[@pamb2868]

I would love to have fresh flowers in my house. I’m going to look into a farmers market near me.

[@Justbu462]

That plant shelve!!! Perfect fit. Lucy is so adorable 🤣chewing boxes 😂😊💕🇨🇦

[@leonaneedham6556]

Thanks for the tours and the DIY hints. And for sure your home will be Pretty in Over Fifty Days . I envy your strength and courage.

[@sarahmj3226]

Enjoy seeing your adventures. Those red sunflowers are beautiful. Lavender essential oil will stop bug bite itches. Take care.

[@evieball4162]

Thank you so much for taking the time to create your house vlogs. I just love them and yes, you are so informative and inspirational. I hope that you are able to get all the kinks worked out in your new home. Enjoy the process and wishing you love and blessings along the way! xoxo

[@staceyoberg]

Oh my goodness Lucy is so adorable! I hope she is adjusting well to the new home. What kind of doggie is she? Hoping things get more organized and you begin to feel like home soon

[@queens6583]

I think your going to be very happy in Aiken, folks are so nice. You certainly are a very busy beaver and I admire your energy getting everything together. Pets are like kids, you can buy the fanciest toy and they just want to sit in the box. Definitely update us on the Vit B and bug bite situation. Those buggers love my blood! I spent many summers in Durham N.C. and once dusk came around the mosquito's were relentless.

[@wandamccarty2171]

I live about 20 miles from Aiken in a little town called Monetta. You have to try the tomato pie! I made one yesterday and they are delicious! I am enjoying the decorating video's!

[@BeautyOver70WithLea]

Kimberly, I’m following you on this move and prayers 🙏to you sweet lady as you make this transition.I’ve moved several times in my life and at my age now (74) hopefully no more for me.There is such determination in you and strong will that everything will be fine in the outcome.I see your little table there as a work area for YT and that’s about where I’m still at with my 4 1/2 months YT channel…Beauty Over 70 With Lea 💄but hopefully things will improve on my end as well. I love your channel and have been a subscriber for a few years now…💕 oxxo Lea ( love how that mirror turned out ! my decor colors exactly)

[@ktk9051]

Kimberly, I really think the new haircut suits you! Well, you’ve brought us along with your journey and I appreciate the real life no fluff stuff. We’re all trying our best and you get it! I wish you the best with bug bites, when I moved to FL I also went through all that.😳😬 I’ve had good success at our Tuesday Morning, also I’m lucky to have a great many 2nd hand shops. I get my frames at the Goodwill, salvation Army, etc, you’d be surprised how cheap they go for there. Stay well! KTK

[@rozannakuykendall60]

I love your tortoise shell glasses. They look so good on you!

[@rxstrmom]

I have one of those “clearance” canvases on my easel right now “re-doing” it! Your home is coming along nicely Kimberly…xo

[@PrettyOverFifty]

I would love to see the finished painting!

[@LenaSheppard]

The vlogs have been so fun! Thanks for taking us along. I am so grateful for you !

[@jennicabott4357]

I hope you are doing ok settling in! Everything looks lovely. So glad you have a friend there. She looks like a wonderful person.. can’t wait to see your next vlog.

[@jeandunn4134]

That tomato bake sounded very good!

[@jillpotts7472]

love the kitty in the box!

[@wandaathomeincarolina]

I love your vlogs!! I came across them a couple of weeks back! I am also from South Caroljna( upstate area) and when you decided to live in SC, I was so happy. Looking forward to the next one!! 😀

[@sandywalther8262]

I hope you have discovered the At Home store in Augusta near the mall. It will have nearly everything you need to finish decorating including furniture.

[@dianneatkinson6124]

Your furniture choices look great. Gotta love that farmers market. The mirror came out looking lovely. Great decision to lighten it up. Thanks so much for sharing with us. I think you are gonna love it there. ❤️

[@lindaloo6322]

Loving your vlogs and your little helpers.

[@dianevp8644]

Hi Kimberly, love your channel! Started following The Middle Aged Minx also, she is a stitch -- you seem to be her new best friend - lol. Hey just a tip and you may know this, but when you pull off the bottom few leaves from your stems, keeps your flowers n water fresh a lot longer ! Love S.C. I have family in Summerville, I think two hours away. I'll keep watching ❤️ from Ohio!

[@maryjanegrosclaude1913]

Kimberly, Just found you and took the ride to South Carolina with you. I was raised up North in a tiny town north of New York City by a South CAROLINEAN mother named Eva Jane Brown and loved my southern relatives when we would go visit them in Columbia, S. C. You will love the southern hospitality there. I enjoyed your vlog and your attitude. Looking forward to seeing how cute you make your house. I loved the flowers you arranged. Good luck…SINCERELY Mj a fan already from Naples Florida (living in Florida since 1978)

[@healthybydesignyogi]

Thank you for taking us all along on your journey! I love that you are sharing each step of the process with us and it makes me feel a part of my dear friends life. I know that you have not met all of the people in your community but I look forward to your videos . It makes me feel like I'm staying in touch with a dear friend. And in these times that are times of such loneliness these videos mean the world to me!

[@PrettyOverFifty]

So happy to connect with you!

[@tinaedwards8042]

Loved this vlog and your flowers were gorgeous!!! Can’t wait to see what you do with the rest of your house!!!

[@nancydavis9712]

My husband and I are serious about moving in a few years. We love SC, just where is the question. I am enjoying your vlogs about the area. We have been there a few times and no matter where we stayed found the people so friendly and welcoming. We went for 2 weeks last summer, than 10 days over Christmas.

[@PrettyOverFifty]

I agree! The people are so warm and welcoming!

[@mariemcgrath8681]

Love watching your Day.

[@wendybrown3502]

Loving you sharing your new home coming together with us!! So fun! Thank you Kimberly!🥰

[@terwya]

Love these types of videos especially watching your move and shopping to decorate your new home. Hopefully the management company is taking care of all the issues you are having with the home. I laughed when kitty jumped in the empty box so typical of a cat.

[@kimdalrymple2288]

Loved seeing your new purchases and the farmers' market. Dex and Lucy "helping" you as you put your furniture together are too cute!

[@terryfurlow4072]

I just started watching your videos a few months ago and I love them. You are always so interesting. You have a lot of courage moving across the country. You go girl! I like how you look at life and how you live it. Take care, Sabrina

[@aundrealauzon]

What a fun vlog! It seems like you are getting more settled in, and comfortable in your new home and town!

[@stevinski12]

im enjoying your new venture and videos. the farmers market i go to is small but I like it, love the flowers you purchased. till next time 😉🍸

[@novanorman1091]

Love your flowers. Makes me want to drive to Aiken 😊

[@rogojo9853]

I just loved to see your fur babies! How cute to see your “Cat in the Box.” 😉. It looks like you’re gong to love your new home. ✨🌼

Greetings Kimberly! I'm loving your vlogs about your new venture. Your fur babies seem to love it there. That farmer's market is reminiscent of Findhorn! Lucky you!! Love and blessings ♥️🙏

[@lyndacanger8762]

Love, love, love, what you are doing. I was wondering where you got the rug from? Did you order it?

[@nguinn1989]

Hi Kimberly, I have found that tee tree oil is wonderful for the itching and reducing the size of the bug bites in the south. I like to apply after a shower sinks into the skin 🙂

[@87jallen]

There is a home goods, TJ max, Ross, marshals in Augusta which is about 40 min from you. You could make a day of it. Also there is a furniture store outlet called Weinbergers. Nice things and they are having a sale. Hope this helps!

[@PrettyOverFifty]

Wonderful info, thank you!!

[@michellegray3781]

Dollar General - Do you know about the Dollar General chain? They are big in the south and carry the same lines as Walmart - Mainstays in particular. Also, their make-up line, Believe, has some decent products.

[@andreasakara6032]

Love this Vlog, things are starting to come together. Also enjoyed your puppy stealing plastic off the floor.

[@GrannyZanna]

If you can borrow or buy a 6' or 8' folding table or 2, that would give you a temporary working surface and/or a way to get some essentials off the floor to save your back and keep things more accessible and organized. That would also give you some temp storage area underneath the table. I had one made available to me when I moved into my condo with no furniture other than my bed frame and mattress & box springs. It was a godsend! The family who owned it used it as an additional dining table for larger gatherings. Home Depot has them. Not very expensive ($65 for the 6' approx) and you could easily sell or donate them when you no longer need them. Many churches have them, too. The flower arrangement is a lovely touch. Keep smiling!

[@debbiej4093]

I have read vitamin b1 specifically helps with with bugs biting. Either way, keep us posted! And girl, do not over look thrift shops and Goodwill to serve your needs. You can find more interesting and unique items…and you can almost feel the stories behind some of these finds.

[@daynad8104]

I was going to suggest the same thing!

[@edmeza9053]

Love the content of this vlog it’s lovely too see something different from you ,enjoy your new adventure x

[@annanorth7997]

I love how calm you are while you work through setting up your home. I have such perfectionist tendencies that disorganization drives me bonkers. I need more Kimberly zen.

[@jenniferlyons4150]

What a beautiful farmer's market! How nice to be able to get all your veggies ans flowers.

[@tracyforbes9960]

Love yur vlogs. Came across you just recently. Love the mirror. Yur weather is soooooo different from Scotland. Have agreat weekend. Tx

[@EvangeliseGood]

Thanks for bringing us along on your new life, got your work cut out but you’re well able. Love the sound of your new community. Blessings to you 🇮🇪✌🏻

[@TheMijas07]

Love these vlogs, Kimberley. I'll be tuning in to see if the vitamin B helped reduce the bug bites 🙂 How brave you are to move and do all this on your own. Not many would have the strength, both physical and mental! I adore animals so it was nice to see both dog and cat roaming around. I'm sure they've helped you settle in more than you realise. Regarding Reiki, I trained in it and used it for a while, however it wasn't until I watched Doreen Virtue and her testimony that I just 'knew' I was going down a dangerous road with that (and my crystals). I am now a Christian and the feeling of lightness is incomparable to what I was before. Don't want to preach to you but maybe check it out when you get a chance, one never knows how much time one has left on this wonderful earth. Xx

[@cathyhunter1263]

The MOST important is for you to catch up on your rest.I don't know to many women that can pull off what you have!! One day at a time we support you and care about you.Blessings
