I have no self control so I went thrifting again and scored vintage gems

[@stringofpearls4551]

Elise: I will share a trick my Mom and I used growing up without my father: when we came home late or someone seemed "too friendly," we would reference "Dad." Unloading the car at night, we would give orders to my 2 brothers(who lived 1,000 miles away!) When a service or delivery person comes to the house, you can always say something like, "My brother will love it! He lives with me and this is perfect!" I know you are smart, but you are so, so pretty it is best not to let strangers know you live alone. As I am now older, I think I need to take that advice myself! And may God, who sees all, protect and keep you:) His angels are on duty 24/7!

[@violetmartha916]

Such a great idea. I too was worried for Elise. I had a problem with a guy coming into the shop I work in. One day he came in when I was not working and he was asking about me. My colleague, who knew about the problem, told him I was away with my husband for a few days. I have also started wearing my late mother's wedding ring.

Another trick I use for my answer machine is to have my recording say, sorry WE missed your call, please leave a message and we will ring back as soon as we can. This both suggests you do not live alone and you do not say you are not home but that you missed the call. No sense letting burglers know the house is empty. Another thing is when getting your phone listed, especially as a woman, do not put your first name, use an initial. Like T Yeates.

Over a 45 year marriage, I have redone my home so many times I have lost count. Every time the pieces were thrifted, repurposed, repainted etc… I would completely finish a scheme right down to the dishes in the kitchen, linens and artwork. I was always cost conscientious! It was my “hobby”. I had been a stay at home wife so when an object I desired was costly I would find a job and work for what I wanted. My husband was so obliging and proud of my creations that he encouraged my every move. When I decided it was time to make a change I would gift my pieces to young people starting out in their life’s journey. Why not, I was only giving away my time and effort and it was a pleasure to see how my work was received. Nothing went to waste and nothing was trashed. It was an exciting way of life. I am now 68 years old, widowed, and still creating rooms I love.

[@chriskiefel7735]

If you don't find a matching handle for your new dresser, I would say that one option would be to remove the two from the top drawer and use one of them to replace the missing one on the second drawer. Then get two new ones for the top drawer that are in the same "theme". It will look intentional.

Your home may then offer you a sanctuary for you to plan new creative endeavors. A place that soothes your spirit, calms your mind and gives back to you the love and peace of mind that you gave it when you were creating the spaces.❤❤❤❤

I don't know about the rest of your followers, but I absolutely adore your thrifting videos!

I love seeing the countryside in your area and all the architecture and shops, etc. I also used to love the videos you made where you cooked! You had a cookbook and you would randomly select a recipe to try. And the cookies you make at Christmas time, and the pizza video you made. I love the honey, comforting feeling of those cooking videos. Your home is looking more and more beautiful, ad is your garden. Please keep thrifting and cooking! ❤️

If the new dresser matches the hutch. Paint it the same green and put the TV on it. That way it helps pull things together in your living room. The drawers can hold cds, books, etc

[@ginajennings1664]

I was thinking the same thing. I think it would make a great tv stand and also because it matches the hutch it would seem like they are a set and they should stay together.

[@pattykelly6621]

Use one of the drawer pulls from the top drawer to replace the one that's missing. Then get 2 new pulls for the top drawer. They can be similar to the others or completely different.

[@sarahb2652]

If you want to give the wood on your new chairs a boost we use a product called Liquid Gold which feeds and nourishes the wood and then we use a natural bees wax and it really makes the wood look beautiful and revived. We restore bits of vintage furniture in England and those 2 products are our go to products and don't cost too much.😊 The chairs are gorgeous.😍

Otherwise, I'd rather buy items at yard sales for a better 💲deal. 🤗It's important to enjoy our shopping experience. 😉Although not sustainably minded🌐, sometimes I would rather go to a mall & buy new stuff on season end clearance than shell out serious coin🪙 on old stuff literally crammed on shelves & racks that I have to sort thru w/others. 🤩It's different w/Vintage & Antique resellers who are actually selling a whole curated retail experience. 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)

But I'm never finished decorating, I always find new things I love more than what I already have - now I'm on my third renovation...

I love what you are doing in your house .... it looks fabulous!! Here is an idea for your TV.... maybe use a small dresser to place your TV on.... the drawers would be a great place to store things in your living room. ie Tv controller, matches for candles, box cutter if you tend to open boxes up in the living room, magazines, extra candles etc. The cake plates are beautiful... you could use them as "plate charger" ...we call them in the US.... putting regular plates on top of cake plate for dinner... though I would place a folded up paper towel on the cake plate below the regular plate so that it would not slide around. Also that one guy that made the previous delivery alone was very attracted to you .... he tried to connect the best he could. He did it alone because he did not want competition. I enjoy your videos and I am so pleased things are coming together for you!!

Who is to say you can't get something you like. If it speaks to you then get it. You can always figure out where to put it later 🖤

There's nothing wrong with buying things that we want! The universe wants to make us happy don't put a label on yourself enjoy!!

Ohh I love the chairs! They are just perfect. I love gold velvet. This was a wonderful video it’s real life. Some days you just need to buy chairs and glass plates. Yesterday I thrifted tops and curtains, and There is nothing better than the treasure hunt! I also found 4 antique cut glass Sherry glasses! I don’t drink Sherry but I had to have them. Yes, I love the hunt!

It's ok to buy yourself pretty things to enjoy. The plates are beautiful. The clear vase is beautiful also I would use it for cut flowers. So feminine. The Rododeum with the pink flowers would be beautiful.

Darling I enjoy watching your videos because you are living your best life despite the obstacles. You keep being you and I'll keep watching. I love repurposing. It's your house. you get to make the rules.

This was a good video because thrifting! I like all your videos, clothing, gardening, decorating and your house. Do you ever feel like driving past the cottage to see how it's doing?

I liked this video very much, also I have a weakness for pretty dishes, too. It's hard to control my love for old [vintage] from '50's and before. Many, which I remember from childhood and early adult times. Not only lovely but good memories. That said, I'm trying to minimize especially purchases that are only pretty. Your only problem is saving for your own vehicle while having the fun of making your new home so lovely.
