I love how you mentor young women x

[@joanne1681]

These older homes have so much charm. I especially love your home Linda. I enjoyed this home tour. Such a sweet home and a sweet young lady.

[@Jeff-qe6tj]

Hello

[@flax4753]

House tours is an automatic thumbs up from me.

[@edstud1]

I love Linda's old house tours!

[@mariedrotar3215]

I love love love the home tours!! The care that goes into these living spaces is so lovely. Thank you to all who allow us the enjoyment of your beautiful dwellings. Looking forward to more.

[@charlesperez9976]

Hi,Linda! I am not young,51,but I live Bohemian aesthetic. Alphonse Mucha,a master of Art Nouveaux,epitomizes such things,because he incorporates floroform into his art,it is supremely organic. Please continue to showcase your impeccably tasteful neighborhood,in that city,Oklahoma City,a city of triumph,that has overcome and stood victorious over tragedy. ❤️❤️😊❤️

[@Holly_at_gypsyhollergardens]

👏Loved this ! Wasn't she just adorable ! I heard her mention gardening 😁 ... I'm thinking we must seen what she has going on outside 🌳..💙

[@hollymaydole608]

I am 66 and LOVE this style and all the plants, great tour. Thank you.

[@marybeth4002]

What a sweet young woman Frances is - Frances is okay :) Lovely home where she and her husband have made it their own space all the while respecting the original bones of the home. I love the 'office' and the split level plant stand - the lazy Susan bases were such a surprise and clever idea. Thank you Linda and Stewart for taking us along as you meet new neighbors in your area.

[@rachallisle7290]

Frances is my next door neighbor. Thank you for showing off her beautiful home and plants! You must return to her house this summer to see her garden. She has done an unbelievable job transforming her yard. Our neighborhood has greatly benefited from Frances’ sweat equity. PS I’ve been a subscriber for quite a while now so this video is a little surreal-I love it!

[@frantastic1029]

Rachal!! This is so nice! If Linda comes back for a garden tour, please join us!

[@LindaVater]

I must meet you!

[@HighPriestess-x2e]

I love the aesthetic Frances has created in her home. Wonderful!!! Thank you, Frances, Linda, and Stewart!

[@charlesperez9976]

One of the great things about house plants is that you live with them,you breathe alongside of them. It is symbiotic. We both benefit from the experience!

[@LisatheDIYChick]

Frances is as charming as her home! So fun and cozy.

[@Jeff-qe6tj]

Hello Lisa, how are you?

[@KitKat24531]

House tours my favorite. Bohemian vibe, not me but all styles have their own beauty. Linda as usual you’re beautiful. Thank you to this lovely lady for sharing her home, it’s a beauty..

[@robinluchsinger2493]

This was a very fun tour, Linda and Stewart! Frances is so clever, and the macramé and hanging plants brought back lots of memories. I admire that she was able to pack so many (thriving!) plants into her home but it didn’t feel claustrophobic. You look darling, Linda, in your outfit….but then you always do.

[@wwfarmhouse9055]

What an intelligent, resourceful, and lovely person Frances is. I love her use of plants inside, and her use of thrifted furniture. Her study/office was amazing with that wall of plants cascading down. Really enjoyed watching, thankyou.

[@geanineedmiston2333]

Love this video - so much character! Love classy intelligent woman that thrift for the fun of it ❤ I'm a thrifter

[@theresaholden7580]

Frances is darling. I enjoyed the tour of her beautiful home. I loved that her husband loves whatever she loves. So sweet.

[@joliz1234]

You look beautiful, as usual, Linda. Enjoyed the house tour. What a green thumb she has to keep those beautiful plants alive.

[@marcusseidel6824]

Fleetwood mac rumours . Fantastic ! ( have it too) Hanging houseplants ... also my style. The wooden mobile ...adorable 👍

[@karencrane6325]

Beautiful home. I’m 60 and have lived through so many styles! I like a mix of things in my house. Not one style other than comfort. I want guests to feel at home when they come.

[@dorothymcintosh-sims597]

Hello, a woman after my own heart. Being a lover of house plants myself ,I'm at Peace walking thru our home enjoying our plants & living among them( or should I say them living among us) Her home & plants r beautiful, not cluttered.The best I've seen. Attn.Stewart that monstera plant that greeted u all as u entered was calling Stewart to notice me lol. Her home gave me that Peaceful feeling.Thank U

[@BetsyH]

I am 68 and I love retro. Love color.

[@luciemacpherson]

Linda, you look divine! I loved every single piece of your outfit! The scarf was beyond lovely and I wear JCrew jackets from 5-20 years back myself. Stewart, I always SO appreciate your style with video… slow and detail catching. I’m hyper aware of you and your careful efforts. It really matters! You really are a huge part of it and we all notice! Frances is so very lovely and upbeat and just fun. She has so much creativity and warmth in how she presents herself and the house. This was a terrific video. Frances’ house is the bomb!

[@LindaVater]

Stewart does such an incredible job. And I can’t tell you how much fun we have working together lol!

[@amyjones2490]

That plant shelf with the golden mirror was delicious!

[@Jeff-qe6tj]

Hello

[@bjohnson1149]

Although this isn't my style, I love the way this young lady has incorporated very eclectic artwork, furniture, and accessories. I love your home tours. Keep 'em coming. I'd like to know how she prevents dripping when watering her many hanging plants.

[@miriamwawira4385]

Finding myself watching this over and over again to get the all the details. Oh my beautiful interior as always...amazing plant collection.

[@hey_court12]

Frances is so sweet!

[@tammyharris11]

What a charming young woman and so gracious! It was very refreshing to meet someone that can converse. She is creative and very warm. Love her home. It's not my style either but very beautiful. She had lovely manners... And I adore the fact that she honors her grandmother.

[@marmc715]

I am 60 years young and I love Boho just as much as my 30 year old daughter. I live in Florida not from from the Gulf of Mexico. So I do a “beachy boho” look. I enjoy thrifting and adding new with the old. I have many houseplants too and many orchids outside on my lanai. I love all types of home styles and it was just difficult to choose one. I love that you showcase all aesthetics of style on your show. Also, she has a beautiful shell chandelier. I may have to find one like that.

[@serometate1031]

I am 55 and boho is my style…always been my style with my clothes and furnishings…i love colors I also love thrifted items so this tour was such a treat…gorgeous home…

[@barbarasutton8928]

Love this lovely home. Since watching your videos, I have begun a love for all plants, inside and out. I am inspired more and more each time I watch your channel. Thanks so much for sharing your self.

[@Jeff-qe6tj]

Hello

[@tracyslone66]

Oh this was fun! I love seeing others style, favorites & treasures. She is adorable! ☺️

[@Jeff-qe6tj]

Hello 👋

[@loritagreene3546]

Oh man I’m so in love with those plants!! Second most favorite is the pair of silhouettes of her and her husband.

[@beckybarrow7993]

I adored her flower frog. My mother collected glass flower frogs. Her home is wonderful, and a planter sweater is a great idea.

[@denisecarvill4705]

I think most people do a at least a little of it. I just love looking at all your beautiful American homes! Fantastic!

[@vickiejones7085]

I’m age 60 and love her vibe. Love her love for plants and just her excitement of life and her appreciation of the style of her home. Thank you for sharing her house tour.

[@inalisa9761]

What a delightful home tour! Wonderful natural light. I love that she shared her grandmother's treasured pieces with us. Beautiful home & I love her plants.

[@Jeff-qe6tj]

Hello 👋

[@darlenemorris9550]

I love these house tours Linda. Thank you for taking us inside these lovely ladies homes.

[@donnamullins2089]

Lovely home and charming neighbor Frances. Cute outfit. Great scarf.

[@marianafranowicz]

What a warm and beautiful video and that goes for the hostess and you Linda.

[@Catsanddogslivingtogether]

Yes I like the natural element that that 70's style incorporates.

[@karenadamson8950]

I loved this home and her decor .I love all your home tours ! Such a talented lady with her plants !

[@diannefields6637]

I love that Frances loves pink. 🌸

[@valjohnson5835]

Such a lovely home owner. I adore her home. Beautiful ❤️

[@WAG24205]

I absolutely love Frances’s home. I love the Bohemian vibe and I love plants. It’s a beautiful home and it’s decorated so well. Thank you for sharing these homes.

[@Jeff-qe6tj]

Hello Wanda, how are you?

[@Marissalove11]

I’m a younger viewer here! Loving this type of video.

[@danielallen138]

Love that the love of gardening and decorating spans the generations!

[@kihmjones6782]

Linda, love her esthetic! I’m 67 and embraces the summer of love and old hippie vibe. Glad it’s made a resurgence. Indian and Asian items mix nicely with many styles to add a nice artsy touch. I especially love pieces like this. Plants certainly do enhance a home as well. I have quite a few but I’ll be buying more right away. Loved her climbing monstera in the living room. I want one!!! Thrifting is what I mostly live for. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@altheab.8907]

Lovely tour, Linda. Frances is so sweet. I think you’ve found a new friend.

[@susangrother8931]

Love the house. The rounded windows, the gorgeous fireplace and breakfast room. Oh, and all the plants🪴. Thanks Linda, for another great tour❤️

[@dianazerkle2849]

My favorite house tour ever!

[@michellelewis5967]

WOW, What a Wonderful amazing office space! All those windows! I am 67 years old and LOVE the boho eclectic tour! What a treat! Thank You Linda! I am obsessed with plants also. I am obsessed with trees too!

[@ahnie771]

I loved all the plants on the shelf in her office. So pretty.

[@sandi91949]

How fun! Loved this young lady and her beautiful home!

[@lianeabeyta4515]

I love that the center tile art on the fireplace matches the arches of the windows in the tile.. love when things like that happen!

[@TheEarManLives]

I love her plant aesthetic. I am not one to put up big shelves for just plants, I like to make them part of my decor. Frances has done a beautiful job of this. I tend to not be as mid-century modern and like more cottage style, but she and her home are lovely.

[@judyburton6338]

Such a lovely young woman. Love her home and all the plants.

[@jkniederberger5390]

Linda, you meet and introduce us to the most charming people! I feel like I need to move to OKC, but I'll be there are some pretty amazing people to meet in my neighborhood too. I just am too introverted to get out there and do it. Thanks so much to Frances for letting us into her lovely home.

[@jeane561]

A beautiful tour. I am in awe of Frances’s houseplants and how light and bright her home is. Even when a style is not my personal style I can always appreciate others. I really enjoyed this tour❤️❤️❤️

[@nancybogart3960]

So many plants and they all look so healthy! Beautiful home! Thank you!🪴

[@pattyhoyt1802]

OMG, fleetwood mac the sound of my young life I'm 61 lol very cute eclectic home ! I'm very midcentury and thanks for the your tour linda

[@deborahbavas6514]

Love,love,love your new friend and her house!❤️

[@cathyhatfield5340]

Such a cute place she has! Love the mixture of collections and plants. Great light coming into her home bright and cheery 👍❤️

[@Jeff-qe6tj]

Hello 👋

[@edieohoxoxo932]

Favorite Frances...she is splendid!

[@charlesperez9976]

I ALWAYS hang on long enough to see what you are wearing,because you are so lovely! Funny story,I was lost in Barcelona for 3 days! I met the most wonderful people during that time.

[@LindaVater]

What a city!

[@sonia-ty6rv]

Such a lovely home and such a sweet homeowner. Love the house plants and the decor..!!

[@gabrielasimmons2401]

Frances and her husband have such a beautiful home. The way the plants are arranged is just exciting and I will pick up some of the idears. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@beverlyasleson3321]

What a lovely house with all her plants thanks for the tour. I love your jacket and boots.

[@peggy-ann1961]

Thanks so much Linda and Frances for the tour, everything is so lovely.....the air quality in Frances’s home must be terrific! 👏🇨🇦

[@Jeff-qe6tj]

Hello Peggy

[@pamelaritch8587]

What a lovely tour; my daughter loves the Bohemian style, and thrifts everything. Growing up with Danish Modern and Spanish style (at different times), I wanted Edwardian, Craftsmen and Eastlake styles as an adult, but we do have a lot of different styles mixed together. I like that she’s got so many wonderful pots and has a knack of displaying her plants to their advantage. There are no wrong ways to decorate if it’s something you truly love.

[@abdsaaxn9079]

Beautiful house tour! Loved it ALL! ❤️🌿🍃🍀❤️

[@RevAcres01]

Another great house tour Frances is just lovely. Picked up ideas to personalize my home office. 🏠

[@sherryporter8647]

Very nice ! I love old houses and gardens so ya’ll feel like old friends 💕🌸🌺

[@alaine57]

Love your house tours, thank you

[@melissaturner7236]

What a beautiful home tour. I love homes that feel collected, are curated with intention and filled with items that tell a story. The home has great energy….filled with light and life. I would love to see the exterior and gardens this spring/summer. Thank you Frances for sharing your beautiful home with us. 💚🙏

[@jeanninef2110]

I love this young woman's home!! Thanks for letting us visit!

[@d.l.n.7133]

Your house tours are my favorite! ( no garden condo gal here) . As you said charming at the end , l couldn’t agree more this young lady and her house throw off such a youthful charming vibe. I can not wait to see you make another video with her . I hope her energy is contagious, bc l could use some of it 🥰

[@maryeliason1504]

Glad she kept trim unpainted. Love the hanging branches. Very original. Sweet gal.

[@lanaritter9410]

I’m refreshing my patio/deck this weekend! Anxious to see what you do this weekend!!!

[@libbymiller5240]

Oh my goodness, what a darling home and girl!! I have got to share this with my daughter, who also is a lover of indoor plants! She will absolutely LOVE this vlog!! How gorgeous are all her plants and the ideas she has on how to display them all!! I just love these house tours you do and the people that we get to meet! How fun and what great ideas!! Thanks again for a wonderful watch! Love and blessings to you and Stewart!

[@bettygotschall4504]

Reminds me of my days at Kent State back in the 70's. I had so many houseplants and macrame........ such nice plants she has!!!!!

[@susanschuck8124]

Beautiful young lady, home and tour. Thanks for sharing! Gorgeous everything

[@barbkenas5663]

Wonderful tour, thank you Frances, Linda and Stewart.

[@deborahr9237]

The light in this home is incredible. I have houseplant envy. Love it all - so nice to see young(er) people who love these old homes. Very cool, eclectic mix and nice to see thrifting and family heirlooms. Great scarf (and proper pronounciation...lol). I think she meant the flea at the Rose Bowl?

[@dannyboii9117]

Those branches would be cool to hang plants off of 😊💖. I love the kitchen esp the leaded glass cabinets with all that natural light!

[@cindymetzler9486]

I love it.

[@terriklugh2910]

Such a great home tour! I loved all of her artwork and plenty of places to display her pictures. It was all so very neat and perfectly arranged. Thanks for sharing!

[@cathrynkolkman1811]

Lovely tour! So full of treasures.

[@lindachapman9765]

Loving these house tours, so much fun, and what a fab collection of houseplants, lovely to meet francis too xxx

[@susankilpatrick2918]

Frances your home is lovely. Stuart your camera work is amazing as always!

[@carmeng2982]

Wonderful video Linda. May I just say that you changed my view on decorating my own home. Watching your home tours videos Has inspired me to love the quirky aspects of my own 1938 Spanish mission style home. I am now embracing my small charming rooms and I’ve watched them come to life with indoor plants and thrifted items no less. Who knew! I always start my day with one of your videos; you have inspired me so much. Thank you.

[@beverley1539]

Thankyou for sharing, my thoughts a bit to many greens hanging,over other nice treasures lovely home. Ontario Canada 🐝

[@lindaplunkett1864]

A wonderful video a wonderful home decorated with wonderful items…..loved all of it❤️. My husband and I just returned yesterday from a trip to Taos, Sante Fe and also Arches National Park in Moab. Arches is breathtaking and I totally understand why she had pictures framed of some of the arches. My favorite arch was titled, “ The 3 Gossips”. I found a couple local shops in town with some artists rendition of the arch. Sante Fe is my favorite!!! We toured Georgia O’Keeffe’s house and studio and that was a highlight of the trip. So much fun. Plus I loved your outfit. Hi to Stewart too!

[@reneebotham236]

Such a great house with a fun vibe.

[@tuijawilska9913]

Thank you Frances for allowing us to tour your home. What a beautiful home. Love all the plants. Would love to see a tour of your outdoor gardens this summer with Linda.

[@lindamclaughlin2274]

Oh my gosh! Such a beautiful young lady and a beautiful home. I will need to watch again because there are so many great ideas that I would love to try in my home. I’m glad you asked about her watering regiment because I was wondering the same thing. I’ve got to look into floating shelves to put up high and fill with hanging plants. I love that idea!

[@Jeff-qe6tj]

Hello

[@lindafrazier8799]

Enjoyed this! She is lovely!

[@redbougainvillea]

Great tour and lovely home! My favorite is the capiz shell lamp…I went to high school in Guam in the 80s and remember these shell lamps well.

[@patriciarecupero6971]

Thank you for this fun tour. Frances has a lovely home and a keen eye for design. Seeing all the houseplants reminded me of the 70's. I know a lot of young people who have developed an interest in houseplants - it's nice to see this trend return again. I wonder if Frances gardens?

[@nancyconnell8579]

Yes, more Frances+like videos! Very interesting woman and home styling--although can't imagine the watering detail. Love your geometric Barcelona scarf, too. Greetings from 50/cloudy zone 6a CT.
