Deena, your home always seems so welcoming and inviting as you invite us in, and l know you are the ultimate hostess for whomever you invite into your home. It reminded me of Romans 12:13 and that is why it feels like that. You fulfill that verse perfectly.

This is so lovely and such a thoughtful way to show hospitality to your guests. I love Ronnie's desk, it's fit for the President. Does he ring the little bell to summon you to his office (just kidding). Your home is so lovely and I'm sure your guest feels at ease there with you. Love you girlfriend!!! Enjoy your weekend.

Oh my, you are truly the best! I could watch your inspirations 24 hours a day. Curious can you tell me about the seal on the toilet paper?

@gracefulliving_ 2 ай бұрын

Awww, thank you so much. I appreciate that. Yes, the seal is simply letting your faucet run for a second to get wet, then press the corner of the triangle on the roll up to the bottom of the faucet. The little round base of the faucet will creat a stamp that will stay because of the water left behind. I would try all your faucets to see which one you like mos, they’re all different. Have fun.

Wonderful ideas Deena! Sometimes, I get obsessed with the cleaning before company comes and forget these lovely ideas to appeal to the senses and overall feeling of our home. Thank you for being an inspiration to us!

@gracefulliving_ 2 ай бұрын

Thank you so much! I am the same way, Janice. This past year I’ve really tried to work on things like this because I would become so overwhelmed by the thought of our home being “such a mess.” I know in my realistic head that that wasn’t the case, but in my nonsensical head…it made so much sense. Now, I try not to be silly about it and focus on being with my guest. 🤍 thanks so much for being here. Have a wonderful week ahead.

Thank you sweetie for the video. I am definitely inspired. I do most of what you have done in your video but there’s a couple of things that I am going to implement into my traditions and all that I do around here for when we have company drop-in or just family, thank you for all you do. I so do appreciate you and look up to you. You are a special lady in my life and I so enjoy listening to you watching you and do all the things take care. Enjoy your Friday. Excuse me Thursday.

Deena thank you so much for this extra video. I absolutely loved it. You pay attention to the details and it always shows. I love the things you do to get ready for guest In preparing your home. We don’t need to leave out the every day things for guest to see. And who would not want to receive that beautiful tin of cookies or the lovely flowers. So thoughtful.

Love the ideas. The BHG wax melt is one of my favorites and I have this same wax warmer. My cat would destroy that on porch!!😳😂. Liquid Gold is wonderful. My Mother restored several wood finishes with that. I also use it on my wood kitchen cabinets to keep them in good shape. 😊💕

Really beautiful. Excellent choice of flowers. The Proteas are so long lasting and they are unusual flowers.I actually saw them growing in a garden while visiting Australia once. 😁 You did a great job wrapping the bouquet also . The cookies look amazing. Great idea for a Christmas present. How do you keep the silver dishes polished? They become tarnished so quickly and brass is the same.

@gracefulliving_ 2 ай бұрын

Thank you! Yes, the flowers really worked out and I’m so glad I found them. Oh, I can only imagine finding them in a garden, so beautiful. Awww, thank you. I love using the tissue to wrap them in. As for my silver, I don’t keep it polished at all. The more tarnished the better in my opinion. I know that’s not for everyone. Ronnie would love for me to polish some, but I just love it this way. Thanks so much for being here. Have a wonderful day.
