Did anyone else notice Laura's baby bump shadow walking from the chicken coop to the barn? Adorable.

She is always very discreet with regard to showing her baby bump, but it would be nice to see her in her full glory once in a while.

@@wendycash54 I agree, i love the baby bumps on women. It doesn't surprise me with laura as she is conscious of what shows during videos. Used to be back in the day it was a normal and respected thing to cover up your body now its more let it all be seen. I look at wedding gowns and they are see through. Like what the heck.

Your house “feels” so warm and inviting as it is filled with the love, joy, and devotion you, Aaron, and Benjamin share with us. Sharing your lives with thousands of your viewers, encourages hope for the future and demonstrates possibilities where love and commitment, along with hard work are the goals we need to pledge our lives to.

Yes, that is what I was picturing in my head when she talked about putting the lights over the doors. I hope she does those... I think matching the same lights that are on the chicken coop that she is thinking of doing would look to small. Plus those are more for side lighting...

[@djackson2243]

That's what I was thinking too.

[@jfrede2889]

Gooseneck lighting is a great idea!!!! Maybe using an industrial style shade would give it a better size proportion. for the big barn. They could use those vintage style warm white LED bulbs that drops down below the shade as they cast light out farther and the light softens the farther out it goes. A large metal monogram signs that says Garden Answer between the lights and the window above might look good also.

[@deborahmclaughlin872]

Definitely gooseneck lamps. They can be ordered in various colors, if you didn't want black.

[@debbielenoir5472]

What a majestic fire place. A true masterpiece.. and from 3 sides. Wow! Just paint it white, for the time being if you don't like the colour. Many of us would LOVE just a small one. It's a dream. I enjoy the Christmas decorating so much.. xx..

Benjamin is so cute when he said nutcracker and you were so surprised that he knew what it was. They sure do listen when you think they are not! Nice job as always!!!!

[@jengus1951]

Have never seen a fireplace like that with three sides. I love it and the mantle looks gorgeous!

[@Bamboo4U2]

The three-sides thing is probably at the root of the whistling sounds. It's probably some type of vacuum or vortex, caused by the air intake and where the heat is expelled. Just a guess. (I mean, I've never heard of anyone else's chimney whistling. Have you? What about wood stoves? Do they whistle?) It's very strange.

[@mariafolch8067]

@JakeJones, you are close to the cause. Laura has mentioned on several videos on how windy is her area. Whistling might occur as air is drawn quickly into the stove through the narrow aperture of the air inlets. It will stop if the air control is opened or closed slightly from its opened position, and should not be a persistent issue if the flue is performing efficiently. I highly recommend they hire a chimney professional to asses the problem. I installed a chimney cowl on mine and that solved the problem. There are many things they can do rather than having to come down, disrupt their sleep, and play around with those screws. Following article maybe of some benefit. aquietrefuge.com/stop-chimney-wind-noise/

[@Bamboo4U2]

@@mariafolch8067 thanks Maria. Also, thanks for the chuckle ("assess" and "asses?" Not the same word, lol. I'm all thumbs on my damned phone too.). She might need some "asses" to assess her flue, ha ha ha.... 😜

an old realtor friend of mine once said, if it is brick or stone, leave it alone. natural materials are a classic, i would leave the stone work as is just me

[@YSLRD]

On the other hand, getting your personal space right is important. I think she gets what a giant project it will be.

[@Bamboo4U2]

I HATE it when people paint brick. IMO, a lot of people are just a little too paint-happy, period. They'll slap a coat of paint on anything. I'd make an exception for wall art or murals though. Different animal, entirely.

It always seemed like a great place to enjoy eating a pastry or dessert, sip a cup of something hot and have a nice visit or watch your videos. 🤗 You’ve done a beautiful job decorating. Listening to Benjamin tell you it’s a nutcracker, I have a feeling he has an ear tuned in to you and Aaron more than you realize and can probably tell you the names of a lot of things indoors and out - especially tractor and equipment related!

Put 2 lights that match the chicken coop above the human doors, and 2 larger of the same style between the 3 garage doors (right above the topiaries), also put 1 more above the window. For the echo, once you get the rugs, furniture, and your plants in there the echo will die. You might not need the panels.

Decorative, ornate Christmas door hanger, 2 ft. wroght iron candlestick holder, etc. etc. place all on mantel and worked from there. Lots of lights, branches of deep dark red artificial red flowered branches, etc. etc. All placed on a black and red checked runner that lays under all of it. A more modern approach but love it.
