Hi Lauren wow what a beautiful statement piece it’s so warm and cozy feeling, you and your husband are doing a fabulous job decorating the shelves, that wall was meant for those shelves what a huge difference your home is beautiful, thank you for all you and your husbands hard work and for sharing, you are such an inspiration to all of us. You are so sweet and a beautiful human being I am so glad I found your channel💕

[@rgvtexas8391]

Have you ever thought of putting a slightly raised bed of dirt in the chicken coop for your ladies to have their dirt bath? You could throw the veggie scraps in there as well.

[@KrisDallman]

Lauren, I love how you connect with and love all your animals. They are a part of your family. Your mom is always with you and watching over you ♥️

[@carolrodenbeck2381]

Lauren - I think the bookcases really warm up your home and look very collected over time and so interesting. Beautiful! Your husband did a great job filling and displaying your wonderful treasures! I love all your energy and how much you love animals from cats, dogs, and chickens! Take care!

[@mzfitmama2361]

If you don’t particularly like the dirt baths in the garden beds you can get an old small tire and put dirt and diatomaceous earth, just only get the food grade. It’s a great mite and other pests control. It’s safe for dogs cats and other wildlife. It does have to be kept dry. This is what we do on our farm. The hens love their dust baths inside the tires. Helps keep hen happy healthy. 🦋☘️🌵🩵

[@lisapriddy1007]

Lauren, you and your husband have such a love affair with decorating!! That’s the first thing that comes to my mind when I see the new bookcases so beautifully decorated!! Not with just plants or magazines but with meaningful memories from the family’s past and present! You just didn’t put things up there to take up space. Beautifully done!🥰👏🏻👏🏻

[@jacquelinemorales-steffes3262]

Hello Lauren…. I just wanted to share with you a funny little story… My Husband and I were “fur baby sitting” for my Niece and her Boyfriend so that they could celebrate their 2 year anniversary in San Antonio! They have a Corgi named “Moose”! He is absolutely adorable! Anyhoooo…. I watch your videos (on KZbin) so often that I find myself speaking to the birds and now Moose in the same high pitch loving voice as you do for your fur babies and feathered babies! It brings a huge smile on my face!!! You are so filled with love for your Family, your animals, for your job and for all your Fans! I so love watching your videos! Thank you so much for sharing your passions, creativity, and your love for life!!! Sincerely, Jacqueline From Texas!!! PS: The Bookcase Looks Fabulous!!!

[@user-ew8vt1ur7j]

I admit I LOVED the Victorian house and your decorating style there. That is what drew me to your channel. All your subscribers were so happy for your new move and we could tell it took a while for you(and some of us, tbh) to fully warm up to the new house but now, it is looking stunning and your and your husband's true vision for your home is coming through.

[@shunawestern9153]

Didn't think they were gonna be so big, but must say Lauren the shelving looks good, especially with all your bits on. The room looked nice tidied with all the blooms in there. And oh my goodness your doing so well for eggs of the chicken's, and their so friendly, and cute, and really do have personalitys. Fur babies are gorgeous. Do I need to go on, you have a beautiful Family, So Lucky, Treasure it Forever. See you later. 🥰🇬🇧🐾🐾💖

[@Booksncoffee333]

This was so enjoyable to watch! I love how you and Ron organized and decorated your bookcases. It really brings your room to life! Such beautiful memories for you all. ❤📚

[@user-ew8vt1ur7j]

For your husband: A for Effort, A+++ for execution. The bookshelves are Gorgeous!! ❤ From one bibliophile to another!!

[@vickig4289]

Hello Lauren. Another lovely video. Thank you. You do seem to have it all - lovely family, home and garden and I absolutely love your relationship with your fur and feather babies.

[@lissadevega3638]

You have a busy, active household; yet you manage to handle most everything together with tender loving care. Hats off to you.

[@ditzy6014]

Lauren, first of all I love the way the bookshelves turned out & the love you & your husband put into decorating it with your treasured mementos. Secondly I love the way you talk to your chickens

[@RosemaryOltarzewski]

Oh Lauren simply georgous ❤. As Cicero said " A room without books is like a body without a soul". Sending love as usual from Rosie O from a slightly warmer Devon, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 x

[@trudysenglishvictorianhome3244]

Lauren, WOW!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩 The Bookcase turned out SO BEAUTIFUL!!! How Sweet that your Husband is so into Creating this Masterpiece with you!! It truly is such a Statement Piece!! Your Home now! 🤗💕

[@cindielbrecht557]

Well, everyone should have a room with a beautiful bookcase with antique books and pieces, fine art on the walls and a BASKETBALL HOOP! Love it!

[@teresamoon9396]

I love the shelves!!! It looks great!!! My Dad passed in 1996 unfortunately at the age of 69.😢 When I was a little girl, he built beautiful book shelves in our living room. I have always loved reading and my parents were very sweet to buy me books. Your house is beautiful!! I love the chickens and cats!! Thanks for sharing, I enjoy your decorating, recipes and you have such a great family!! God bless you all!! Thanks for all that you do!!!

[@karenkinyone613]

[@natalieodle5654]

FABULOUS! The bookshelf definitely anchors the entire area. It instantly feels lived and loved in. 🦋

[@ruthluera7602]

Love how the bookcase turned out. I would definitely put doors on the bottom part as you mentioned. I love watching all your videos. You have a very organic and graceful nature. Blessings.

[@cheryllilley5115]

I absolutely love watching your chickens!! I never knew chickens could be such special pets. The bookcase looks awesome!!

[@nicoleb2615]

I love everything about you...but watching you with all the animals just melts my heart ❤

[@megancrocker2234]

Hi girl, I love the way to talk to the chickens 🐓. So, sweet. Those bookcases are amazing and filled with beautiful memories. Banana bread looks great. You and husband did a fantastic job getting the bookcases looking pretty. You holding your chicken, is everything. Stay safe. Have a good night. God Bless and family too!! Xo 😘🩷 Hopes you have a great summer!! Xo 😘

[@lolacarrero2424]

[@laceydonn]

The book shelf looks wonderful! So happy for you guys to get to rediscover your old treasures from the old house again ❤

[@saragibbons]

It’s so lovely seeing family heirlooms and collections on KZbin. I feel like viewers never get a glimpse or such treasures. Thank you for sharing.

[@sherryhudson9075]

The decorated bookcases bring so much warmth to your home

[@colleenwalker6267]

Wow! What an incredible bookcase you and your husband have created. I love it! It gives the living room and dining room such gravity and grounding. It’s so very special for you to be able to share so many family stories not only with the books but with the many precious items you have saved.

[@judydahl1683]

I love how your bookshelves turned out. They add so much beauty to your home. Books are the best. Your chickens are so funny. I enjoyed watching them. Very nice video.

[@anacrowe5366]

I must say these recent changes truly feel like you and your family. I love the bookcases and all the memories you’ve included. I think you guys are well on your way into turning this house into your home. Thank you for taking us on the journey.

[@joanndelise7292]

The book shelf is beautiful and its perfect for that wall. You and your husband have beautiful artwork, books and decor. How wonderful that now you can enjoy again. Your home is lovely. It takes time to get things the way you want. I love to bake as well as cook. I started baking before I learned to cook. Baking you have to stick to the recipe exactly as written however cooking you can add or take away and it usually comes out great.

[@lindalorino3749]

Lauren- the book case looks amazing! Im so happy for you! You and hubby styled it with intention which is obvious in a good way. Again, just beautiful😀

[@rhondaenriquez8049]

Lauren, I admire that you and your husband are lovers of books and want to display them. There are not many people in your age that would do that.

[@jeanettescavuzzo3852]

The long awaited bookshelf you did not disappoint. They came out magnificent 😘

[@maryannleamer7674]

Love it!! I wouldn’t change a thing! You and your husband have a real talent!!

[@marymacdonell4573]

It’s really becoming your home. A house is a structure it is the people and our precious mementos that make it a home❤️

[@theloveyourfacegal2773]

Glad all the animals got Lauren's lovies. Your books are beautiful & the decore turned out so so beautiful 👏.

[@marlaroberts2087]

With so much moving over the years I’ve tossed many things, books included. After seeing your bookcase I wish I would have kept some of my books!

[@MASep-bs5um]

Finally!!🎉 lol. So happy for you Lauren! You’ve been so patient. I know this feature will let your creativity shine! 👏🏼

[@user-hq6ws9zc1g]

My daughter Amelia who is 6 says good morning and that she’s excited for this video and that we watch all of your videos. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@amandaallen3422]

My 6 year old daughter also loves to watch Lauren, especially when she's visiting with her pets.

[@Perfectly_happy]

I love your chickens and kitties! You give them such genuine love and it shows in their personalities and “strut.” The shelves are amazing! Love your style. I’m not much of a baker either, but I do make banana and zucchini bread when I have an abundance. Have a great week! Love your videos ❤

[@debbiepochy6751]

Wow, how beautiful! Love the books and little treasures, the pillars and lamps on the sides were exactly what it needed to finish it off. I love to read and display my books. I have recently started to re-read some of my favorite novels from 20-30 years ago. I do love to bake, but I don't do it often, because unlike you, I do have a sweet tooth, LOL!! 😊

[@Cinthiaellieartie]

They say when a a human loves animals and treating with love and respect are generally a good person. 😊

[@Neelie4]

Makes the space much cozier. Once you have the doors on, it will look perfect

[@natvtxn1213]

The bookcases look great Lauren. How fun to go through all these collectibles and relive memories while decorating!

[@waleskagarcia3209]

Such a beautiful home love everything about this bookshelf both of your touches just shows the love of the home. You are bring the feel of the Victorian to your home❤️ thank you for always sharing your beautiful home with us. Your mom is watching down GB❤️

[@demoiselleksp]

OMG LAUREN!! Your home is just sooooooooo GORGEOUS!!! Thanks so much for sharing with us!!!

[@user-ew8vt1ur7j]

We did the same thing wth our mom. I live wth my sister and family in Florida. My dad is still wth us. Mom passed in 2013 and was cremated. She is resting in an alcove over the front door wth the morning sun shining through most of the day. We can still feel her looking and loving over us even after 11 yrs.

[@peggypoole1773]

Bookcases are wonderfully done with both books and loads of memories.

[@ekclpn5676]

Your bookcases are so beautiful and the decor is perfect. Thank you for sharing.

[@user-vt9ih9wo9q]

[@milmapletree279]

Oh! Your bookshelves turned out so beautifully! I, as well my family, absolutely love your chickens. We all think you are the sweetest and kindest person. Is it totally cuckoo-kachoo that I'm already looking forward to your Autumnal and holiday decorating vids?

[@barbarapeterson8030]

HAPPY Monday Lauren, family, fur babies, and feathered friends. LOVE the Bookshelf. GREAT TEAM WORK. Absolutely Not a baker. I will and can Cook, I will bake, but, I warn everyone about my baking. Certain things, but, baking is not for me. Tell me to cook something, and You will love it. You crack me up with your animals. STTB

[@kathymarriott5180]

LOVE how the bookshelf turned out! It’s an art in itself!

So happy to see your mom❤

[@user-bp1jo4vd2k]

So amazing I love all you did, those shelves are a book lover and decorator’s dream 💙

[@rebeccalowry9296]

I love the bookcases and how you continue to use the beautiful treasures from your Victorian! Adding the dining room table to the space was the perfect touch!

[@TheRustyTrike]

Is that Patrick Swayze as a patron saint or am I nuts 😂😂

[@sharronb2476]

I was trying to figure that out, too! 😂 It sure looks like PS! ❤

[@rachelkivarkis1801]

Wow, sweetheart Lauren, beautiful arrangement for your bookshelves. God bless your home and hi Enzo. 🥰👍🙏🌷❤️💫🌟✝️☘️🌿✨

[@cruisingmimi9319]

One thought is, I just started the video and am a collector books. Myself is nameplates that you come by with subject matters as well for the shelving. Sort of like those brass plates really cool. I haven’t ordered any yet, but I’m considering because I like being able to look and find books subject matter quickly.

[@sharronb2476]

Lauren, your bookcases turned out absolutely beautiful! So many books and treasures! Just awesome! ❤ It was so sweet seeing you cuddling with Bianca! She's adorable! 😊 I feel the same exact way about baking, it's just so messy! 😂❤

[@teresasusalis7936]

Love the bookshelves, it makes it warmer

[@carolberres5528]

Lovely mix of treasures and books💕

[@willothewispl]

Love the columns on the sides.

[@vivianperez8786]

Hi Lauren, I love the majestic bookshelf. Your house is beautiful. I also love your chickens. God bless you for caring for his creation.

[@leanneadams2804]

Lauren, love how the book case looks. So special for you and family. I am not a fan of baking, time consuming and messy. Enjoy your day.😃

[@laurenbond3907]

I have a decorated cookie business so when I got a Bosch mixer it changed the game with the mess making. Also you can throw a damp tea towel over the mixer as you mix to keep the dry ingredient explosion to a minimum

[@juliecollins5777]

Very lovely to see how the book shelves came out! I now really want some chickens LOL

[@lisafriend5535]

I love how the bookcase was styled. I would love to browse the library, especially the vintage books. I’m not much of a baker either, but I do love sweets. Have a great day.

[@vickyyingling2252]

The bookcase is beautiful!❤

[@Jewelybee7]

The bookshelf looks amazing!! My husband said you should get a library rail stair thingy for it

[@madiloves90]

Lauren your bookshelves look beautiful. I may steal a few styling ideas for mine. 🥂 Have you seen the black and white ginger jars? I absolutely love the blue and white and also collect them myself. Sometimes I think the black and white would also really blend in your new house. Or the red and white or Hunter green and white even. Then again, I think I love all colors of that style of pottery. 😂 Have a great rest of your week. Praying blessings for you!

[@brendamoore1922]

Stunning! The shelves look amazing!

The bookcases are beautiful books and memories are so special.I love how your decorating more your style.I don't like baking either now if you ask me to make an appetizer or main dish I'm on it.😅 We have 6 chickens and they are laying like crazy.❤Bye

[@jackyhendrikx8838]

Always nice to put your memories love it looks so nice 😊

[@gildastigliano8165]

The columns on the shelving really make it for me...otherwise it was too modern...they add needed character (the character I miss from the Victorian)...good placement!!!!

[@daynatuso2923]

Lauren....the bookshelf is everything. The books were placed perfectly, it finished that area off. So good. First thing I thought was....can't wait to see Christmas. You will no doubt make it even more marvelous. ❤🫶

[@NadiChmie]

Super loved this video! Everything Favorite- Classic Books & that shelf wall! Mastered that space! Farm kids - Tumbleweed Kitty Kat- Good Life! Oh let us not forget the chocolate chip bananna bread! Best💐

[@jackieoesterman6688]

I think this is the best your living room has looked since you moved in here. I'm still hoping you will get much, much larger/taller artificial trees in place if those olive trees. They are just too small. You have huge Christmas trees, now these very tall bookcases, and you need taller trees. It would be much more to scale with everything else you have going on in the room. You did a great job on the bookcases. They look fabulous.

[@angiekillian7968]

I love books. I think it is beautiful 😊

[@danielleS257]

[@cynthia6055]

It's so beyond beautiful Lauren.....I remember suggesting not to cut thru' that wall to make a dining room in a part of your garage...you probably thought what did I know....but just glad you listened to yourself and didn't so now you have your gorgeous book shelf. I guess I had a crystal ball and just knew you'd need this wall, lol. And also you got a larger walk in closet now too with putting your laundry in part of your garage.......all so great!
