[@KimLolley]

Lydia, thank you so much for choosing to wear my design in this beautiful Homeworthy feature! Your home is a perfect reflection of your colorful, inviting spirit, and seeing our dress in such a lovely space is truly an honor. Your support means the world to me! 🌸✨

[@lydiamenzies5715]

Your dress designs are so classic and beautiful! Thank you so much! I can't wait to wear the red and pink ones, too!

Please could you add a link for this dress. (Fingers crossed for International).

Lydia, talk your husband into a tutorial on those bamboo frames. They’re great! I have watched so so many Homeworthy episodes and this is one of my favorites. I absolutely love the color added to her home through objects instead of the paint. You’ll never get bored! You’ve got endless decorative options!

[@lydiamenzies5715]

You are so kind- thank you! I feel the same way about the endless options and I enjoy changing things around every once in a while! I will see what I can do about the bamboo frame tutorial- that may have been a once in a lifetime moment haha! It was fascinating to see his process and so maybe I can convince him to share sometime! Thank you, again!!

[@naomiweaver1855]

I absolutely love your gorgeous home and the creativity you have developed and share with your friends. I’m from North Carolina and the tour really reminded me of home, growing up and memories I have. Like you and other southern women, I am not afraid of color. With so much sunlight most of the time, having color can really stand up to it. The sunlight is strong. Also, we have such long growing seasons and with that you have a lot of color moving inside the house. We’re very used to color. Our house was on two acres and my parents had extensive gardens, formal and informal, and my mother had arrangements of flowers and greenery throughout the house during the four seasons - and arrangements in the bathrooms, too. And she would turn a lamp(s) on, small or large, in each room (including bathrooms!) at dusk. And she loved working with decorators and shopping. The house was warm and enchanting. I don’t have the gardens they had, but I do have a lot of camellias, roses, perennials and some greenery I can bring in throughout the year. The rose hips are beautiful. I collect china, crystal, and silver like a bandit and love to entertain. I would love to see another video on how you entertain using your beautiful things, and the food you have, and lots of ideas. Maybe you and Homeworthy could do that?

[@naomiweaver1855]

I remembered you have a book coming out, so you probably don’t want to do a video. Or maybe do one that is completely different than the book and state that in the video.

[@lydiamenzies5715]

Thank you! And, thank you for sharing your lovely childhood memories with us. Your mom sounds like she created lots of beauty for others to enjoy within her home! I love that you continue her traditions and ways and enjoy the colors of each season. It would be so fun to share more entertaining ideas with you, especially given how much you enjoy entertaining too! It would be an honor to do more videos in the future! Thank you, again!

I think this lady is the most wonderful thing I have ever come across. I sat down to watch, and almost had second thoughts as the home I currently live in could not be more different! However, Lydia captivated me! Lydia seems such a lovely, generous, friendly, fun lady - and I bet she has a wicked sense of humour just bubbling underneath! I love her voice, and her dress. Oh, and of course her home! It felt like we were having a chat! Lovely, just lovely. My goodness, Lydia has her own channel here on YT.

Love those little miniatures on your Thanksgiving table, but the original ones were called 'Toby Jugs' and as far as I know were only ever decorative and never drunk from. My Mum had a lot of them, which my sister has, but I confess I found some of them a little creepy! I did keep a miniature 'John Barleycorn' which is a happy smiley mythical fellow who was "a personification of barley and of the alcoholic beverages made from it: beer and whisky" who not surprisingly had a sad end!

[@lydiamenzies5715]

Thank you! Yes, you are right! They also go by Toby Jugs- and that is probably their original names. I think the smaller versions may have taken on other names or maybe the names were changed a bit here in America. They are definitely conversation pieces and a fun way to add a little history and humor to the kids' table. Thank you for sharing your memories of them with us, too! Those Toby fellows are a quirky bunch, aren't they? 😀

Her interior designer friends clearly aren't up to much, placing a piece of furniture right in front of where you need to access a window seat (see 10:19 ie to the right of the brown chair) - what a bizarre thing to do! Even more odd (and dangerous for both your neck and eyesight) is placing the TV so high - you should NEVER look up at aTV, it should always be sited just above eye level - ask any optician.
