How precious that you got to meet with the previous owner! Once an older woman knocked on our door saying this was her grandfather’s house and could she come inside and see it. It was just so special. Apparently he was a minister, and she said he would be so happy to know there is Scripture all over the walls still 🥰

[@EmilyGarbe]

Oh how sweet!!

[@miranduri]

I have a similar story but just sad. A young lady knocked on my door. She was a previous owner that had to sell because her husband had died. She was thrilled I had left the stencils in the stair risers. Then she sat down in the sofa and cried her heart out. I hugged her and told her to please find a support. Her husband had been dead for seven years.

[@iopgirl9061]

I actually love the stone wall and I think your decision to leave it as is is a good one. As always your boys are precious!😊

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you!!

[@lisafraley8380]

Emily… love that you moved the lamp to the left of the TV. Watching you is like visiting my best friend from high school. I’m 43 now but my bestie in HS was number 13 of 13 in a large Catholic family. I adored their faith. We are Catholic but my family loosely practiced growing up. I mean Mother Angelica used to visit their home and they often had priests as guests and Mass held in their home. But seriously… I miss her dearly and you remind me of her so much. ❤

[@EmilyGarbe]

They hosted mother Angelica?? Wow! We've hosted our priest for dinner before and it's always so special. ❤️ thank you. You are so kind!

[@yemisi5191]

So refreshing to see a home styled differently from all the cookie cutter decorated homes we now see on social media that looks like everyone bought all of their pieces from the same place. Lol!

[@EmilyGarbe]

You get it!! Thank you for noticing ☺️

[@mialee1268]

I love the warmth of your house throughout!! How can you pick just one place?! I love everything you did with the house from the furnitures to little decors

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you ☺️

[@loveforSunday]

Girl I’m going to FaceTime you tomorrow after I go to the bins 😂 I’m so glad you like the painting ❤❤ love you!!

[@EmilyGarbe]

PLEASE do! I want to go soon for Christmas decor 🤞🏻

[@sharonmikalauski6503]

What a handsome little man!! Your home is stunning. You've knocked it out of the park with your good decoration eye. Well done!

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@carolyost6733]

Always enjoy being with you. NO, NOT READY FOR CHRISTMAS!

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you 💕💕 haha I get that. I think I just want to be extra prepared so we can rest more this season

[@EmilyGarbe]

Let me know how you think it's coming. And who is ready for some Christmas content??

[@katiedougan8848]

Oh my gosh, your house is coming along great! I'm amazed you have time for all these changes considering your kiddos. I can't wait to see what you're doing for Christmas!

[@MeganMcGlincyKessler]

Your family is making an absolutely beautiful home with so much heart, soul, and love. You also have quite an eye for design. I love watching you explain the reasons behind your choices you are very thoughtful. I also love watching your family and your sons. Please keep your message about how much people can thrift live second hand in many ways. I think that is important. Please keep being open about mistakes and mess and real life too. I think the messages you also send about perfectionism and how it and a lack mentality can be real challenges especially in this day and age. Gratitude and soul are great topics too.

[@EmilyGarbe]

You are so kind. Thank you for this sweet message ❤️

[@vanessaherron5203]

I love your placement of things, pictures, furniture, even kitchen items. You have a really good eye👍🏻👍🏻🌻

[@EmilyGarbe]

Awh thanks!!

[@christinewilliams7005]

You have done so many cool things to your home.

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you!

[@lauragama5369]

I love how you’ve transformed your home. I love love how you display your faith. The stone on your entryway is stunning! We share the same faith and I love your Mary statue in your garden. I look forward for more videos for inspiration. God bless you and your family 🙏🏼🤍

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you Laura!! God bless you 🤍

[@PeggyWirick]

I appreciate the painstakingly painting of the louver doors! I kept all of mine in my Sarasota home and hand painted them! But I love them as well! Great job on your home!

[@EmilyGarbe]

You know how much work they are!! I was glad to be pregnant and out of that job lol

[@robertajones6427]

Your home is beautiful. You have all put in a lot of effort and it shows.

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you so much!

[@texasred2702]

Make a template from a large sheet of paper by rubbing around the edges with a pencil or something, and take it to a glass shop. They can make a custom glass top for your buffet table that way and you wont need to worry about spills or wear and tear. You can use the same method to get a custom stone counter top made for it too though that's more pricey. Those places often have remnants so you might get lucky and find one the right size and save that way. Use clear silcone furniture bumpers under the glass to protect the wood and keep the glass from sliding. If you go the stone route you can attach heavy felt underneath for the same function.

[@EmilyGarbe]

Oh I would not have thought of that!! Thank you 😍

[@janspeed2071]

Wow Emily......you have done a lot in a short amount of time.......just beautiful!!!!

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you so much! My parents are to credit for so much!! I'm going to add a tagged comment on here to the playlist of our renovations. It's been a whole lot of work!

[@johnniealford25]

What a beautiful home you have created, Emily!

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@EmilyMiller-w6z]

LOVE LOVE LOVE! you've added so much character

[@EmilyGarbe]

Aw thanks!

[@IreneJones-cl8qr]

Such a great combination of thrifted and treasured items to produce a lovely and welcoming home for your family and friends. Everything you all have done has made a positive difference, it is so nice that the previous owner was able to see it.

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you so much!

[@wilgenbusches]

Kudos on that painting done Anna! What a lovely gift to your sister ❤ It’s soo pretty

[@EmilyGarbe]

I love it so much!!

[@michellepereira2328]

Love what you’ve done with your place. I think you need some art on the blank dining room wall. Your son is so cute!

[@DebraHaskins-r7y]

Your home looks absolutely beautiful. I remember all of the renovation videos. You and your family's hard work certainly paid off. Blessings and prayers...

[@EmilyGarbe]

Aw thanks! You know how much work it was then 😅❤️

[@celinemasterson9953]

Beautiful home! I would place a mirror in your guest room over the chest of drawer!

[@EmilyGarbe]

I've been thinking about putting that one I got at the bins in there. I'll play around with it soon

[@MarieB869]

[@csclose]

Emily! You did a fantastic job on your sweet home in 2 years-and with 3 kiddos!!!! It looks wonderful…finding just the right furniture for the right spaces! You are such a delight to watch-so happy to have found your channel on KZbin! Cindi (from WV). 😊

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you Cindi! I don't give my parents enough credit! They make my visions come to life!

[@Nikki-Dreamegg]

How a warm and cozy home!! Enjoyed to watch🥰

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@tashnebustin4833]

Love Love your home, for the dining room wall you could do a gallery wall of thrifted frames, it will look gorgeous. Love from South Africa

[@EmilyGarbe]

Maybe! I can't decide if it would look too busy but I need to give something a try

[@dd3wc]

Beautiful home tour … you’ve made so many changes … very tasteful! God bless! 🙏🙌✝️✡️❤️

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@ireneromero5326]

You have a beautiful home 🏡 ❤! It seems warm and cozy 😊

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@judybryant3880]

I do love the layout of your home. It seems so perfect and fitted for your family. I especially love your outside living area and all that you've put into it.

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you so much! We use that space nonstop 🙌🏻

[@semperfivetgirl5764]

Simply beautiful...elegant...organic and most importantly...warm and cozy. We have recently moved into our forever home and are going room by room to make it our own. I made my husband come in to watch so I could show him some of your beautiful pieces and how you styled them so he could see where I was going with some of my ideas and choices. He too..loved everything. You are kind of like my real life Pinterest board haha. Thank you for sharing and it was cool to hear where you found all your interesting pieces and the story behind them. I am obsessed with your scorpion box and would love to find something like that eventually. Such a statement piece!! Looking forward to seeing your Christmas decor come together!

[@EmilyGarbe]

Awh this is the sweetest comment! I'm flattered haha I hope your can get lots of inspiration for your forever home!

[@Patricia-h8r3d]

Love the tour…so beautiful! You are the sweetest❣️

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you ❤️❤️

[@DanielleLeviAtHome]

Beautiful home!! I love your style! 🥰

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you!! 😊

[@christineskiles6592]

You have a beautiful home! I find it so hard to pick out tile and colors of paint.

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you! It is something I'm still learning!! I love studying what others do in design books ☺️

[@janetshaffer687]

I would switch the buffet to the big wall so you can see it .

[@EmilyGarbe]

I thought it would be too tight on that side but hmmm now I want to try that!

[@ginamaria2579]

Your home is so beautiful and cozy. Have you thought of putting a smallish hutch on the donning wall or maybe a gallery wall. ☺️💕

[@EmilyGarbe]

Maybe!! I think a gallery wall must look too cluttered and I worry the hitch will compete with the other hitch on that wall so idk!!

[@GloriaBurke2011]

New here and happy to find you❣️❣️❣️

[@EmilyGarbe]

So glad! Welcome 💕

[@mariareyesrosado425]

Your home is beautiful ❤

[@EmilyGarbe]

You are so kind!

[@susanvelez6534]

It’s perfect Emily…. ❤❤❤❤

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you Susan ❤️

[@carolschultz3588]

It is lovely.

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you!!

[@CatherineH.-gf7mm]

Poke some steel wool down into the screw holes then screw the hinge screws back in! ;)

[@EmilyGarbe]

I never would have thought of this!!! Thank you for the tip

[@tammyleviner3070]

Hello my friend! Hope you & baby boy are both feeling better! The old scorpion chest is very pretty, so much beautiful, ornate detail. The side table is very pretty too! I love anything old & made of wood, especially furniture. And the thing is old wood furniture was built to last! My stepback cupboard is from the 1850's & still sturdy as a rock! Your lucky to get more than 10yrs out of a piece these days. Things that are supposed to be high quality might give you 20-25yrs. So I would much rather thrift a secondhand piece and post a little bit & know its going to last! If you bought A new table for $200 it would probably need to be replaced in 5-10yrs. The tile floors are gorgeous! Love that pattern!❤ The desk is a gorgeous piece, love it! But what broke was just the hinge, that could & does happen on brand new pieces. One of the hinges on one of the top doors of my stepback is broken so we just took both doors off. I know I'll never find another hinge like those! But I use the top shelves for decor anyways. I'd love to have the doors on, but i would leave them open & hang things on them. But that would take up A lot of room! 🤷‍♀️ The Kung Fu bench is really cute, little narrow, long benches are pretty popular right now! The shelf you guys built is very pretty! Oh I love the stone wall! Years ago, in my first marriage, i had a house built & used that same type stone for the fireplace & hearth and went a the way to the ceiling with the stone. The hearth went wall to wall, stone on the front & sealed cement on top, and bookcases were on either side of the stone. But I really liked having the hearth wall to wall. I love the entryway & the pieces you have there. Have you thought about doing A plate wall or gallery wall behind the table? Or you could put a pretty shelf and decorate it. I actually had a shelf in my gallery wall. You could do pictures or plates still. Those real large black & white photos, have some made of the boys, they would be beautiful there! Loll just a few ideas!😄 The buffet is also a beautiful piece. I love the countertops. The house I had built i had solid black countertops in the kitchen. Oh I love that sink & the placement of it under the window. It just don't feel right to me if there's not A window over the kitchen sink!🤷‍♀️ We had in in my childhood home & so did my grandma.. so its just normal to me. Oh Wow! Your sister did a great job on the painting!🍋 And that is a beautiful frame. The large cabinet is very nice, very pretty! I love the old furniture pieces that have the keyhole hardware on them.. like that chest of drawers, so pretty. I've always wanted to find some old Cameo brooches & do the same with them like the lion head pieces. Put them on velvet & in a old ornate frame. I think that would be beautiful! I had one of my sweet Utube friends find a couple at am antique store & she surprised me & sent them to me!! Had mentioned it to her at some point & she remembered! Very sweet of her! I'm obsessed with the old rocker! I hope I'll find one like i want soon. I had a couple antique ones in our thrift store back in TN and i messed around & didn't bring home the one i really wanted & it sold.😞 I still get upset when i think about that! You got your for a steal! Oh the cradle is sweet.😊 The but boys room is super cute! I had those folding doors on all my closets & the laundry closet in that house i had built. They're pretty doors, baby keeping them on track can sometimes be annoying! Aww baby boy is so handsome!😊 I love your bedroom! Its nice & large, lots of room. Love the desk area with the hanging lamp! Love the bathroom also, that shower is gorgeous! You really have A beautiful home! Definitely excited for all the Christmas videos! That's when I found most of the channels i watch last year. I was searching thrifting & antiquing videos & everyone was starting to decorate & i loved it! So I just searched more! So we've been friends for a year now.😊 Thanks for the your, i enjoyed it! I pray you have a blessed week!🙏🏻

[@EmilyGarbe]

Awh thank you Tammy! Your home you had built sounds lovely! And I'm glad you bring up the idea of a plate wall because I've been thinking about that over my other table in our family room but I didn't considered it over here actually. Could be a shelf plate wall combination maybe! We are all finally on the mend and getting healthier every day. Baby is eating and sleeping again. Praise the Lord and Dominick and I are getting her energy back 🙌🏻 thank you!

[@tammyleviner3070]

@EmilyGarbe So glad everyone is doing better! Hey A shelf plate wall combo would look awesome too! I've seen several done that way! I saw one that had a shelf & a gallery wall of different sized empty ornate frames all around the shelf.. that was quite pretty too. There's so many things you can do on A large wall!

[@lindasmith5190]

Thank you...enjoyed.

[@EmilyGarbe]

So glad! Thanks ❤️

[@celinegriffin309]

Love watching your videos! You do such a beautiful job. And I love how you have your Catholic art sprinkled in. We are Catholic too, so it has helped me figure out how I want to incorporate it more. I love your headboard! May I ask where you got it?

[@EmilyGarbe]

I love to hear there are other Catholics watching ❤️❤️❤️ it was a Facebook marketplace find that my aunt helped me reupholster because it was grayish with gold studs on the seams

[@celinegriffin309]

@ how is your little man doing?

[@mamuklutze6474]

Beautiful home!!❤ love the simplicity yet the richness in the story of each piece!👍🏾👍🏾 Did you ever consider a German smear on that stone wall? They are quite beautiful! Check out Pine and Prospect home . The background of Joanna Gaines cooking show is also German smear. Just a thought 😊

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you!! And yes that actually exactly what I was thinking for a long while. Theirs looks lovely but I've seen some others recently that do not... so it's made me nervous 😬

[@judyparks5016]

Emily girl, you are just precious. And so are your little blessings. Please put their names and how you spell them. I would love to mention them by name. Now, you know I think your home is so warm and beautiful. Yes, Christmas will be fun. I ❤ Christmas!! Have a great week Darling. Tyfs. HUGS 🙏☺
