I have a friend who turned her closet under her steps into a quiet reading area. Put shelves in it for books and bean bags to lay on. Kids loved it!

[@mv4freedom96]

My husband is taking our boys skiing in February and I'll be home alone for a week. I immediately thought about decluttering!! No people under foot, no hungry mouths to feed and nobody to object to what I'm throwing away!! I can't wait...

[@tinamcivor2996]

Oh yes! That's the best kind of free time. No body in the house for days!

[@georgiasanders5438]

I love that black dress you are wearing! Looks pretty and comfy!

Thanks Lisa for this beautiful video and encouragement. I'm from Germany where days are equally dull and grey

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

You are so welcome!

[@karencristobal4999]

It is so so rewarding to explore cookbooks for inspiration. So often we try to find inspiration from memory and get frustrated and bored with our store of ideas or memories. We forget that other people or cultures can bring recipe ideas we would never have thought about in a lifetime of thinking. And also that’s where libraries come in. I love going to my library and grabbing a bunch of cookbooks and reading away! Ps Lisa! (And others) if you haven’t explored the moosewood cookbook please please do. It is vegetarian but I promise it is so your style and taste. The soups are 2nd to none.

[@tinamcivor2996]

Agree on Moosewood. They have a vegan chocolate cake that is delicious but a bonus is it's easy and low cost!

[@joannasmith4793]

Thank you for your encouraging words on winter

[@marilynmcpheron3231]

May I suggest shelves at the back of closet? That will help organize the closet so you can easily see what’s there

I love the way Luke helps with school! What a neat family dynamic with homeschool 🥰

I love her kitchen I saw a AD magazine article and it says more people are going back to white appliances because white doesn’t ding up or have finger prints like stainless steal appliances 😃 what a beautiful soul she is love this channel

[@NormieNeko]

Personally, I never liked stainless steel anyway. It gives me creepy sterile vibes compared to painted appliances.

[@magnolia31611]

I think I’ve commented this before, but I just love your videos. They are so calming, and remind me of growing up in my grandmothers home that was an old over 100 year old barn, that had been converted to a house. It was magic, and I miss it so much sometimes in my neighborhood home that’s houses are like 20 feet apart from each other. There are some convenient things about where we live, but I’d trade those if I could to live out in the country again🤍

[@jessica_wood]

I’m really loving the new vlog style format of these videos. Love seeing your family and your daily life. Love your old more educational style videos too but I think I’m enjoying the new ones even more.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Glad you like them!

[@kayj5081]

I love my linen sheets, too, and recently found out that linen is supposed to be healthier to sleep on and contribute to a better night's sleep!

[@karenbuckner8696]

Just a thought for you to consider. When storing your extra pillows and pillow covers, put them in a space bag and remove all the air. This will keep them fresher than just storing them on the floor of the closet. It also saves space. Also I would consider putting a small shelf in that closet to keep them off of the floor.

[@luisa_4120]

Yes! I always try to apply that to everything!!! If the floor is clear it is easier to clean all the dust!

[@marywatkins6798]

Agree, it needs a shelf.

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

They are great if they work Most brands do NOT stay shrunk In 24 hrs the seal is gone. Discouraging!

[@keciadickson392]

@@YeshuaKingMessiah I used Ziploc Brand and my vintage items I preserved have stayed sealed completely for over 5 years. 🤗

Not to be negative Nelly, but be cautious of plastics against fine linen and lace for long term storage in the hot hot summer

Wonderful video Lisa. A light colored paint would brighten up the inside of the closet and make it easier to see things ☺️. The girls are amazing! 🎻🎸

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Great idea!!

Your girls did a great job! I would love a quiet, cozy day at home. God bless y’all. 😀

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Thank you so much!

[@queens6583]

Perhaps you could build a simple shelve to keep pillows off the floor. Also, I would put inexpensive throw rugs on the floor to control the dust situation under there. It always feels good to do a good clear out.

[@bridgetteurbano1440]

I always love these videos. Was really nice seeing the girls do their music practice.

[@susandixon3970]

Thank you for this vlog today. We have ice here in Southern Indiana so the Dr appointments were canceled. This gave me time to watch your video and work along with you. I washed up our linen bed sheets, cleaned the closet under the stairs and am now working on meatballs in gravy, mashed potatoes, and home grown/canned green beans for Supper.

I’ve been thinking of sorting our under stairs cupboard for months now and after watching this I feel I have no more excuses (darn it!) We live in a 300 year old Georgian townhouse in Devon Uk and so the dark, foreboding places in our home really are dark and creepy 😂 Wish me luck, I’m gonna need it. Have a lovely day everyone and Lisa, your girls should start a band, they’re amazing and it was such a delight to see them having fun, the sweetest ☺️

It would be great if you could also talk about how well your Brooklinen products wear over the years with use and multiple washings. I would love to try that high protein coffee idea! My naturopath recommended getting more protein and adding collagen powder to coffee, but the egg yolk and everything sounds even better. Thanks for sharing!

[@debbiehopper5288]

Yes, we had a closet under the stairs that seemed to be a catch-all.

Well, I hope you enjoyed a little taste of Missouri winter...

[@marywatkins6798]

There was an under-the-stairs closet just like yours in my childhood home. Among other things, my mom would hide wrapped Christmas presents there and forget about them! She’d remember them later! 😂

[@BootsandBountyHomestead]

It would be cool to either put drawers in the steps on the staircase, or maybe putting the on the side under the steps. It would give you more divided useful storage that you can manage easier and take up that awkward staircase space under there in the closet. Idk if you would want to do something like that to the original staircase but gives you something to think about if you want to use it more efficiently. Thanks for sharing Lisa! I have also made myself a family cookbook of our favorite dishes to remind me of some regulars that we love rather than going to all the cookbooks I have as well, I use those secondarily after I've looked thru our family cookbook.

[@CountieLt25]

I love Nigella too!

[@terrizimmerman5297]

I loved seeing your decluttering of the under-stairs closet.

[@أسهلمعآيه]

Hi there mom 😊 I would consider putting those pillows in the sun for a day just to get the humidity out of them from being on the floor for so long my dear.

Very nice, winter is a great time to purge closets and reorganize. Cooking with lard is interesting, my grandmother always cooked with leaf lard, especially when she made biscuits. It would be interesting to learn more about incorporating lard into one's cooking.

My old house had a deep closet..I put a small fee standing shelf to help me and I to purged …try it

[@Ann-cx3dd]

Hi, Lisa! I liked how you cleaned up your closet! I actually enjoy doing those things, when I am in the right mood - - it feels so good afterward, doesn't it?! The only thing I would suggest, is getting a small organizer in there to put the items you want to keep on. That would help keep mold off of the pillows and organize the things you do want to keep, while keeping them off of the floor/ dampness, etc. Maybe like a cube organizer from Ikea? Something simple, but helpful...... anyway, great job! : ) Always enjoy a day on the farm with you guys!

[@PamWarwick]

Enjoyed this video. You are a busy woman!

[@fiannaverret562]

I completely identify with your sentiment on the awkward closet under the stairs. We grew up in a little federalist era house here in Vermont and had one on either end of the stairs . The bottom one was for our everyday coats and at the top Dad just kept his guitars and banjos .

[@bobbiek2960]

I do a white and sweet potatoes cheese casserole. Grilled leftover meatloaf sandwiches are yummy. Mac and cheese using ziti and shrimp. Just ideas while watching.

[@tessajerde3912]

I was just listening to your last podcast… Have you ever tried pumice stone for cleaning the hard water out of your toilet? They make specific toilet pumice stones or you can just buy the stones. That has been the only thing that has worked on my hard water stains!

[@dryerfire5384]

Loving these videos! So happy to see the linen love too. 2 years ago I started pursuing a goal to only use natural textiles in my home and it’s been slow moving but so rewarding. There is seriously nothing like flax linen bedding. And so many people are misinformed! Any time I talk about linen I hear “isn’t that heavy and uncomfortable?” And wool? Oh, wool is hated on so much! “It’s scratchy and hard to clean, you put your kids in that?” I just have to laugh it off and do my best to explain but not everyone does their best to listen 😂

[@garymcdade4446]

Sheila McDade in Chattanooga here . . . Do you remember the Bible story about the spies that went into Jericho before the walls came tumbling down? A woman named Rahab hid the spies under flax on her roof. She must have known how to weave linen bedding . . . Oh, did I mention she was a harlot? lol
