I can watch your videos for hours, I really enjoy this peaceful atmosphere and the sounds of nature. Thanks for making this world a better place. 💖

[@TheRayjane]

Me too.....I just love Mary’s calm nature and the beautiful nature that surrounds her home

[@pamboone6921]

Me too,,my all time favorite You Tuber! Beautiful person inside n out. ❤

[@vickyyingling2252]

Me too! Love your videos ❤

[@debjh]

❤ I so agree!

[@Sabrinasee02]

💯 👍🏼

[@helenablignaut662]

It looks beautiful, Mary. I won't get any work done if I had a porch like that; just sit there all day and take in the tranquility. 😊

[@ladypinkylee]

Your deck decor is always top notch, Mary! So serene and cozy. The cherry on top were the photos of your cat enjoying the space - so cute!!!

[@marykaren7542]

Looks great, Mary! The birds always sound so happy there and kitty doesn't take long to make himself comfortable.

[@jankinman4685]

The deck turned out beautiful! I really like the natural wood! Great job! Everything is so inviting & laid out comfy. Thank you for taking us along.

[@milenamacek219]

I think what sets you apart from other you tube videos and why your videos are such a pleasure to watch is your camera work. It’s so good. You don’t rush the camera and really allow our eyes to really see all the beauty you creat!! Bravo! Great video, love your deck!!

[@bonniejoberg388]

You have the most tranquil, inviting deck I have ever seen! The new furniture and plants you added this year are perfect. Thank you for sharing.

[@janicewolmann53]

Good morning Mary. You can use that pressure washer to clean your rugs that are stained ..I use a pressure washer and it works great. Just thought I'd share this tip with you. Have a wonderful day Mary.

[@cindyredding3947]

We use our pressure washer on our outdoor rugs. We use a pretreatment on the stains and then clean with the pressure washer. It always turns out great!

[@tuhesse]

Your outdoor space is beautiful. I know you must be so pleased to have such a warm and inviting space for you and John. Enjoy your summer.

[@SpanishwithNeena]

I love how the cat matches the furniture!🤣

[@edithwanner1849]

What a neat trick to use that pump sprayer to apply clear coat to your deck!👌

[@jaynebrown693]

Mary, how absolutely peaceful and beautiful your porch and She Shed came out. Your porch makes me feel like we are up in a tree house. Then all the lovely song birds in the background is like icing on the cake. I love the natural wood look with your black railings too. How fabulous is Mari’s Shop. I love all the rustic elements outside and oh that big wood dough bowl hanging as a Fairy Garden! A wonderful, peaceful video! 🌿🌿

[@susanholden6861]

If I were a bird and lived in your yard, I'd be singing loudly too! 😍

[@ginnyevans1035]

You always make everything so beautiful and calming. I love it!

[@patriciareeps3389]

The deck looks beautiful. I love walking through Mary’s place with you. I admire your use of plants. I can’t have any due to many deer

[@jodinebecker4196]

Love the natural deck wood. You killed it Mary. Love it all. Beautiful

[@delnacarruthers9335]

So beautiful Mary! I live in a wind tunnel and everything would be blown away! Enjoy!

[@janetdavis5619]

The deck looks so pretty and cozy Mary, I can see why your family spends time out there! Love the new patio set!!!

[@thesentimentalsoul3683]

It's wonderful how well those fern pillows matched your rug

[@happycanadianfarmer]

A power washer does wonders on the carpet and cushions. 😁

[@pamboone6921]

Hi Mary, Wow it all turned out just beautiful! Job so very well done. John done an awesome job on the deck floor also. Just a little tip, the power washers are great to wash out outdoor rugs also, or I do and it works good. So good to see you today Mary! God Bless each one of you ❤

[@livecoals4190]

I enjoy watching all of your videos. You could post a video everyday and I would watch them all. You have great style and videos are always interesting. 🌺🌸🌼🌼🌺🌺🌺🌸🌼🌸🌸🌺

[@jan-johannes-bosman]

We are busy creating a Prayer garden. Every step closer to completion brings much joy. We try and use recycled materials and make our own decor with old windows etc. We also build a rain water catchment with gravity fed. We where gifted much, paving bricks, bricks, plants and soil. Its Just me and a bit from my wife. We are in our sixties but with grace keeps going. I even have a bathroom out there, wich is almost completed, nicely decorated farmhouse style.🤗🙏🇿🇦

[@marycoffee7366]

What a charming local garden center!

[@darmuehlhausen5167]

So glad you placed everything on an angle, it made a huge difference. Beautiful space for a beautiful family!❤

[@ReinventedDelaware]

Such a cozy spot. Thanks, Mary for the encouragement to fix up our spaces. It's so important :)

[@gailallen2895]

I so enjoy the deck and porch videos. Love how you fix them up and I aspire to have something similar although ours is not as large. A small unfriendly cat has decided to sit in a chair near me so I guess it will be a place for it! 😊

[@marybroyhill1976]

Mary, your deck is beautiful and so peaceful.

[@barbarapark2267]

What a beautiful space you’ve made, Mary. Your eye for design is wonderful. So nice to see how handily you cleaned the rug; it looks like new! And Pebbles matches the furniture perfectly. The pink dogwood is absolutely gorgeous!

[@Debbiesj]

You're are right Mary it is good for the soul ❤ as always you do a beautiful job❤enjoy your deck and the summer season 😊

[@KM-nq7ez]

Your deck backdrop of your forest looks like a postcard it’s so beautiful!

[@sylvialangworthy1435]

Love watching your videos brings home closer. Your deck space is beautiful and so peaceful. So enjoy hearing the birds in the background. Thank you for such an enjoyable video! 🤗

[@rankaborkovic113]

Uživala sam kao i svaki put bravo pozdrav

[@karencampbell9770]

Beautiful. Can’t wait to get my deck put together. You’ve given me inspiration. Thanks.

[@renee5713]

i live in holland and our houses don't have a deck... or is it not standard with you either? I would like it so much but my total area, garden included, is 85 square meters. would be a mini deck if i had one..

[@brianandtamiolson2330]

What an incredible transformation. You always do such a great job at making a space inviting and welcoming.

[@kcotjo]

Mary everything looks wonderful on your deck. I could sit out there all day and listen to those birds!! Thank you for sharing!! Blessings on your day!

[@karenhelser2834]

Cozy, beautiful and will be enjoyable for you and your family all summer. Thanks for sharing!

[@carolynrains75]

Love the new patio furniture, it is not heavy but very relaxing 🥰🙏🏻🥰

[@rochelle520]

Such a beautiful and cozy outdoor space.

[@RoseCottageColleen]

What a lovely space you have made for your family.

[@annettemurielle]

Mary, here's the thing about the spaces you create, I just want to curl up in them with Pebbles on my lap, and enjoy. I dream of someday creating a warm, welcoming space inspired by your creativity and skill. Thank you so much for sharing your process with us. I was so glad you were able to get the stains out of your rug. It's gorgeous! The entire space is gorgeous!

[@mariel9037]

I wish my local garden center had a rummage box. What a great opportunity to get some rusty crusty stuff!

[@phyllisgrossetti4511]

Mary such a lovely space to relax and enjoy your days or evenings. I love to hear all the beauty and sounds of the birds melodies.

[@vickihenderson6194]

I, too, like the natural wood look, especially against dark accents. Thanks for all the ideas you give us in taking us along your projects. ❤

[@SuperAxlgirl]

Thank you for your beautiful videos which are so soothing to watch. The cat is adorable! And the space looks absolutely gorgeous.

[@Earthy-Artist]

Your really great at amping up the cozy factor of your home!

[@lianeabeyta4515]

How fortunate you are to be able to shop your garden for plants and shrubs. I am jealous! Everything has gotten so expensive at the nurseries here in California. My goodness could I have fun in those rummage bins. The desk looks gorgeous with the black and white amongst all the green plants and landscaping. And I don't think theres is anything better than a firepit at night to spark the best conversations and memories with family.

[@cathyscreationandvlog4224]

I've learned a lot by watching this video on how to style my patio this year.❤

[@carolyningram751]

Hi Mary The deck turned out so beautiful and so comfortable. The new wicker furniture is so nice and mixes in lovely with your other things. All the plants looked really pretty too, my most favorite is the gazebo I loved the over that y’all used to keep y’all from the elements. EVERYTHING matches so beautiful!. Another one of your projects that turned out 100%, as a matter of fact I don’t think you have ever had a percentage lower than 100%.🤗🤗

[@annbailey311]

So pretty and peaceful Mary. I love it.

[@phyllisanngodfrey6137]

Pressure washing my large deck is one of my favorite things to do. It is so satisfying, relatively easy, and the results are wonderful. I like it so much that I took my own pressure washer to the mini golf course where I worked and did their deck for them 😅

[@rosiesingleton6480]

Even your cat matches the decor 😊

[@rachelschappacher1100]

Team work makes the dream work! Such an amazing turn around on the deck! Enjoy the beautiful atmosphere you all created!

[@daisyy99]

It looks lovely! Enjoy your mini vacations on the deck.

[@cynthiaamitrano8915]

Mary, helpful hint is to use your pressure washer to clean your rugs. You don’t even need soap. Works like a charm.

[@jillbruce3624]

Loved the transformation and I am inspired to get working on our outdoor spaces. As always, one of my favorite things in your outdoor videos is hearing all the birds. Looking forward to your next one and will check out the outdoor candle. Thank you, Mary.

[@cherylmiller7208]

Mary, I just love your outdoor area! It's so inviting and luscious with plants, candles and the fire pit ! You always seem to make everything and every area look so beautiful and perfect! Thank you for all of your imagination and ideas! 🙏🤗❤

[@pamahlvers4790]

The deck is beautiful! I loved your comment about “ never reading the instructions “. So many times I have done the same and wondered why....

[@erikas974]

Mary everything looks so lovely. One tip if you like to use it. I do pressure wash all my indoor and outdoor rugs. Only need a concrete space than just spray the soap let it stand and use the pressure washer to take out all the soap. Worked so far.

[@tinac7921]

Very nice can’t even comment well done beautiful 😻

[@southernwaysdesign7744]

Beautiful Mary, You bring the outdoor living so surreal and cozy .. I love how you and your hubby works together and enjoy the evening together 💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@beverleygorman3096]

It looks gorgeous so peaceful a space you just want to sit and relax in

[@lauraleederos178]

Absolutely beautiful Mary. I would want to be out there all the time.

[@terrybrinson4812]

You have inspired me to stain and paint my deck. Thanks for the tips. Looks great!

[@CJ-qj3pk]

A hint to keep the ties from pulling out of the cushion as it is used. Make the first tie against the cushion itself. Then the pull of the tie won't pull out of the cushion. Love the look of patio.

[@sonyarice2653]

Mary, I enjoyed your video very much! The deck looks beautiful & cozy. I, too, like the natural look that you achieved after power washing. Enjoy your summer & fall days in your beautiful space. ❤

[@lindastewart5708]

Beautiful looks so relaxing! ?Great job !! the plants are just right and suit the decor. I am impressed !

[@terrioakley4435]

Ohh Mary that beautiful bird song in this video ! You certainly live in a beautiful place 😊

[@gennesamann4323]

Beautiful as usual! Love your designs.

[@lizhenselmeier7002]

What a fantastic nursery, I could spend all day there.

[@astayathome]

Beautiful as always! Love the deck♥️

[@kittykatty2898]

Me as well, I always watch with such a joy and peace , watching your life is a privilege Mary, you do make the world a better place, you and your lovely family. God bless you all xxx P.S. The patio looks absolutely beautiful , and your cute sleeping cat just melted my heart... :)

[@kmarshall53]

You have such a knack for decorating. I’m going to incorporate more pots on my patio to add greenery and color. Thanks for the inspiration! 💗

[@lisafriend5535]

Mary, the outdoor space looks and sounds beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@nancypeteja6560]

Looks really good, Mary. It's nice to have a comfortable space to relax. TFS.😊❤🪴

[@rebekahschroeder7949]

I love the colors of your deck and furniture! So peaceful and calming.

[@sarahpollnow3137]

Great job getting the rug clean! It looks great!

[@pamelamann7933]

So beautiful here in south central Ky the natural beauty of the earth is coming to life too.

[@yvonneschermerhorn866]

Absolutely agree. Mary, your videos are very calming ( maybe your sweet voice?) but I feel so lazy watching you accomplish so much. You have so much energy and talent. You are a blessing tk us all.❤

[@RebeccaL0108]

I like the natural look for the deck floor.

[@diannehiggs]

I adore your deck!!! Watching from a damp winter day in Cape Town and getting truly inspired to redo my pool side patio in the same style when summer returns. Thank you, Mary, for your beautiful videos and inspiration. 🙏🙏

[@amyjones2490]

My favorite video of the year is…what is Mary going to do on her porch this spring. Thanks for sharing.

[@Kiki-wi7px]

🪴A Wonderful & Cozy RE-TREAT for Family as well as Gathering's. We would Spend Our Time There For Sure ! !👍🏻🙂

[@thesentimentalsoul3683]

Your porch looks very welcoming and cozy. Sweet kitty. He also matches 🐾🩶

[@annapoole132]

So relaxing and beautiful Mary!!! I always love watching!!!! I agree with the deck...I love the natural look too!!!! Serene and relaxing!!! God Bless you and your family Mary! 🌺🤗❤

[@sheilaadams4181]

You inspire me to do more with my patio decor. You have a great eye for all the things you do for your home... Indoors and out. I love what you do with plants and thrift finds. I live in the mountains of AZ, where water is expensive and I cannot grow many of the plants we grew in the South, I grew up with. We also are plagued with some wildlife that destroy just about everything I try to grow outside the patio fence. Thank you for sharing your expertise and creative ideas. Best wishes!

[@Laura-rx9mp]

Wonderful idea about the burning bush trees!!!! Wow. it looks so cozy. thank you for posting

[@vickigonya9432]

Id love some grapefruit and mint, eucalyptus candles!!! ❤❤❤

[@mabelerb6511]

Mary, using a pressure washer on your rugs works great. Just spray with soap then wash 😊

[@karynverdecchia9095]

Listening to all the birds sing was heavenly in more ways than one. Truly a place to get lost in.

[@user-tp3om5jo8v]

Hi Mary ! thank you for tip for spraying the wood protector, I definitely will be doing that ! Your deck looks very nice ! Blessings, Paula

[@karengreen2437]

MRy, I found your channel a few weeks ago and just love it. I have been going back and watching your older videos going forward. Your videos are relaxing and inspiring. I do honestly get inspired to do projects through your videos. I also love when you show the roads and countryside as you are driving. Just beautiful. A friend of mine lives in upstate Indiana and she sends me pictures of the countryside as well as the Amish buggies (and she is ever careful to never take pictures of those driving them or standing near them out of respect). Just beautiful! Your porch looks so relaxing and I hope you have wonderful weather to enjoy it this year! Be blessed!

[@user-wo4hu4wl2f]

Mary the deck looks amazing enjoy your videos and creativity

[@ginacrusco234]

Wonderful! I love the sunshade over the deck seating area. You made everything look great.

[@angelgardener2748]

Thoroughly enjoyed sitting here this morning watching your delightful video. Everything so charming and cozy. Thank you for sharing.

[@lisahoche4017]

I miss Menard's. We moved to western North Carolina from northern Minnesota. Menard's is one of the things I miss the most.

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

Your deck turned out just gorgeous!!! All the beautiful plants and furniture. I could spend a lot of time out there!! God bless.

[@roxannemitchell449]

Love your kitty

[@elizabethviscusi923]

What a wonderful and creative mind you have! Little touch of heaven, Enjoy! Take Care & God Bless Romans 14:19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another

[@elaineteut9579]

Your deck looks so cozy and inviting. You did such a nice job of decorating.
