Declutter the Home & Renew | Lady of the House Life

[@pennywheeler2598]

You are stunning, a great role model, and most definitely an inspiration for women of any age. Sent with much love. I'm going to say, " from all your loyal fans."💙

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

You're amazing Penny, thank you!

[@rl3938]

I love your heart for service, caring for the older ladies in your family. I hope your kindness is returned to you tenfold. I am enjoying decluttering our house and renewing for the New Year as well. I am really craving a clutter free and more simple life.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

God is good. I think when we do what He asks of us, His children are well taken care of. I'm so glad you are enjoying that process!

[@Christy6000]

Hi Nikki, I don’t always comment on channels that I watch. But I wanted to tell you that I giggled when you were talking about your bedding and you said “Are you still with me?” I thought yes, yes, carry on, I love all the details. 😂 I think you are adorable and I mostly definitely feel you would be a great friend to have. Someone who cares for people more than things. I prayed for your Aunt today that she’ll would be healed from her pneumonia. I hope you have a wonderful day and may God continue to bless you and your family. 🥰

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

You are so sweet, thank you! I appreciate your prayers so much.

[@kathycarter1553]

Nikki, it is so nice to be back on your Channel, because throughout the holidays my Husband was sick in the Hospital for 35 days. I did not feel like watching UTUBE, because I had to focus on my Hubby and be with him everyday at the Hospital. I really enjoyed the Video and thanks for sharing. God bless and have a great week.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I'm glad you got to be with him but sorry to hear he had been so sick. It's nice to have you back and watching again, thank you!

[@CVenza]

I love linen anything. I really enjoyed watching you paint outdoors; very relaxing. Your hairstyle suits you so nicely with that blue dress it made your eyes so blue. 🧡💛💙

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you very much!

[@melissamartin9615]

Nikki- your choice of colors are so gorgeous! Recently I started my own solo Massage Therapy business and I rent a space from a Chiropractor. She had the entire office remodeled and she chose neutrals too. I have a light gray room with cream borders along the doors and window sills. I love it so much! I never knew how esthetically pleasing and SOOTHING gray could be! Your creams, graduated pinks, soft neutrals are just gorgeous. I know your family appreciates the TLC you give to the most important investment for a family; their home.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you kindly Melissa! Color has such an impact on us, it's so nice when we use those colors that help soothe us.

[@savedraven5096]

Absolutely Nikki! Our bedroom is considered sacred space to us. I love using the best bed linen that we can afford, even the curtains are linen. I had researched the health benefits of linen (organic) and learned that it actually keeps the air cleaner and fresher than simple cotton. Apparently it absorbs moisture, odor, and VOC's, how great it that! And I agree, lace, ruffles, and beautiful pillows all add to making our bedroom feel peaceful and dreamy! Thank you for this inspiring video, your bedroom is so beautiful, just like You and Jorge♥️ Raven

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

How interesting, thank you for sharing this! Thank you Raven!

[@katie7748]

YES!!

[@karig6674]

I feel like this channel is my guilty pleasure. Friday night, a bowl of mint chip with a ridiculous amount of syrup and an episode of Inspired by Nikki. I started DEEP cleaning my bedroom today post holidays, illness etc...whew! Such a good feeling to make our master bedroom special again AND setting an example for the kids. I do believe now I will assess my bedding after watching this video. I as well am just plum tired and it's only 7:30 p.m. Turning in early and looking forward to decluttering and more cleaning tomorrow to make the home feel peaceful. Have a wonderful weekend friend.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

How nice that you feel that way! I bet that feels amazing, I'll be deep cleaning mine here soon too. Wishing you the best in this process!

[@BeingNancy]

This is such a beautiful, highly appreciated and inspiring video. I've been working on less multitasking, and concentrating on the here and now...with less emphasis on "things", and more intentional focus on people and relationships. Thanks Nikki. May the Lord continue to bless you and your family. 🌹🌹🌹

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you Nancy! Yes, focusing on getting things done and enjoying things one at a time, that's the best! It's great when we learn to do this with people too.

[@1fabricmom]

My mom & I always went thrift store shopping every Tuesday & had lunch together. She was my best friend. She passed 3 yrs ago & I miss her so terribly bad. My heart aches for her. Enjoy your time with your mom.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Such nice memories to have. I'm sorry for your loss, nothing ever takes that feeling away.

[@catherinecorn7182]

Years ago, when my oldest children were little, I decluttered and whittled us down to "mostly minimalist". We were moving often at the time so this was a blessing for sure. Now we have settled and I am chosing "collections and themes" for the things we bring in. I love old books, and candles and brass candle sticks and pretty china and dainty lace doilies and houseplants. I try to only bring in what speaks to me. Sometimes i carry an item all through the store and then replace it to its shelf if the vibe just isnt there. Its so lovely to have places and spaces set up and ready to enjoy instead of in need of a thorough cleaning before enjoyment. 💗 I downsized my nightstand to minimize clutter and upsized my husband to one with 3 drawers to contain his things.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I'm just like you in the store Catherine! I hope I can find one that's well suited for all of Jorge's things....still looking. When I see it, I'll know!

[@catherinecorn7182]

@@TheLadyoftheHouse I love my husbands nightstand for him now... I can see changing it when circumstances change. I am like you and always am shuffling things around to see if they work better in a different space. I feel like you can get by with so much less stuff when you are open to moving and rearranging and restyling. My youngest calls it " neating things up" and i think that is just a genius word. 🤣

[@maggytrafford1366]

Hi Nikki, you really are a beautiful person, you have a heart of gold so that makes you such a special lady. Such a caring person your music in the background sounds so beautiful and relaxing. Thank you for sharing another special vidio. I hope you got some sleep Nikki and had a rest. This channel is a credit to you, so glad I found you on KZbin 🇦🇺🇦🇺❤️🥰

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

What a lovely, kind and encouraging comment, thank you! I'm so glad you are part of my channel!

[@CowwoC]

I definitely needed this kind of motivation today, I'm so glad this video popped up! Amazing calming clean vibes 😊💕

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I'm so happy you enjoyed this!

[@cowtownjanet4450]

The blue dress you are wearing in the second portion of this video really bring out your beautiful blue eyes❣️

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you!

[@rebekahellenburg8369]

I love these videos they feel me with peace and are very helpful

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I'm so happy to know this!

[@lindahenderson1625]

😁 Along with loving notepads, I love stationery, too. I’m so glad that you like the cards that I use for my correspondence. I write to friends and shut ins and like to think that the pretty notecards add a little beauty to their days. I often frame notecards because they are so pretty. In fact, I have your porch notecard framed . I haven’t written anything on it, I like the negative space of it. It’s hard to explain how decluttering makes us feel “lighter”, but it does. Hallmark stores, sadly, has very little stationery nowadays. I find that sad. When I was growing up, my small hometown had a stationery store . It had cards, stationery, notecards, folders, pens and pencils, and wrapping paper . Oh, I loved it and miss it to this day. We need to revive such special places. Thanks for having a pen pal group. Take care.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

They definitely add a little beauty. Framing is a great idea, how nice that you did for the porch one! I remember Hallmark having so many stationery options. Now it's so slim and most just say "thank you" on them. Once, I ran across some beautiful light pink thin stationery paper with envelopes. I wish I had purchased it, now I can't find anything like it. Oh, I'd love a good stationery store. Thank you for being a part of my group Linda, that means a lot to me!

[@toniwadsworth7577]

We have had all white bedding for many years. We have 4 seasons where we live so in the wintertime I use an extra warm duvet insert made of goose down. I like the Pottery Barn duvet covers. Sometimes I add touches of beige as an accent color. I always enjoy your videos where you show how you decorate and your thought process behind your choices. Sweet Dreams !! 🛌

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I'm sure the Pottery Barn ones are really lovely. Pretty soon I'm going to replace the one we have. So glad you enjoy this style Toni!

[@shirleyannaphroditeofficial]

Thank you for another beautiful doze of inspiration! I giggled when you talked about being complicated and all the layers. I said to myself, “finally….someone understands!” You are a precious treasure. Thank you for you.🌹

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

My pleasure! Haha! Yes, I understand!

[@bevsines876]

Hi Nikki. I've been adding half a cup of baking soda to my whites and i'm very happy with the results. Cheers Bev xx Really enjoyed the video thankyou. Xx

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you for sharing this!

[@BarbyDailey-Rurallife40]

The color of the dress you wore on day two is so beautiful on you. I started watching this yesterday but didn't have time to finish it. I was motivated enough to wash the bedding (subliminal I think, ha ha). I like light layers too that are easy to pull back. I am in the process of decluttering in a couple areas. It feels so good!

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you Barby! Yes, it takes a little time to declutter but it makes the home and mind feel cleansed.

[@MartinlovesFrances]

Really enjoyed watching today! I really need new sheets, lovely ones like yours. Good reminders & encouragement to do some of these things to refresh your bedroom and taking care of our homes with special touches of calm and cleanness!

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I'm so glad! Thank you!

[@anye76]

I do layer my bed. My duvet is basically for show. I do not use it to cover up. I had fitted bottom sheet, top sheet, blanket/coverlet. My duvet is folded down at the foot of the bed💕🌷😊

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you for sharing how you dress your bed!

[@susanvelez6534]

That is how I layer my bed too !!!! I have been sleeping on satin pillow cases for many years and it really is good for your complexion and hair I attest to that. I agree with you Etsy is very expensive. I just can’t justify it. I also do love Tuesday morning we have a small one here so not a big selection 😩🙋🏻‍♀️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I love that you can find just about anything you're looking for on Etsy and the higher quality. I'll save some of those things I'd like from there for later though.

[@almetrabriggs4019]

Hello Nikki! I’ve been decluttering my home, room by room, and it feels so clean, bright and pretty! I love adding small hints of soft pink! I’ve also been pin curling my hair and I truly LOVE it! Thank you for sharing your hair video! It has been a real blessing and my sweet Husband loves my hair! Hugs!🌸💐

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

That's wonderful Almetra! I'm so happy to know you and your husband love your new look!

[@glendagai]

I know this is a late comment but may I say you look absolutely beautiful today!

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you kindly Glenda!

[@ToEachTheirOwnHome]

Beautiful video, I too layer my bed it just feels so luxurious I love it so much 💕

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you! It does feel that way!

[@lindarobertt6206]

Hi Nikki, What an inspiring video to show us all how to make our beds beautiful. The lace trim bedding is exquisite and from Target too. Your video has inspired me to replace underwear too. Nikki, I want you to know how much you really inspire women of all ages and probably help so many of your viewers find happiness in their everyday life! Hugs

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you so much Linda, your words are very encouraging!

[@BSmeansBlueSalad]

Did you dance ballet? You dance beautifully. I recently restarted ballet classes as a 28 year old and have been enjoying it so much. I used to dance and teach lyrical, contemporary, and jazz but ballet is always 80% harder. So beautiful and so much effort and work goes into looking so graceful and effortless. Thanks for another video, Nikki!

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Yes, thank you! I'm so glad you took that back up. My pleasure!

[@susanhorn3910]

Thank you for this wonderful advice, in a beautiful, lovely way. I am so enjoying your beautiful videos, and I love your color choices throughout your home. You have inspired me to create a calming, pastel bathroom, complete with a claw foot tub. I was wondering where you got your beautiful curtain, shown at the beginning of the video. I’d love to purchase one like it. Have a wonderful day, and keep inspiring us, Nikki!🤗

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

My pleasure! I'm happy you are enjoying what you watch here. I found those sheers at Bed Bath and Beyond. Unfortunately they discontinued them. They were called "Aria Stamp".

[@susanhorn3910]

Thank you so much for responding , and so quickly ! It’s too bad they no longer make them. I’ll be on the lookout for something similar.

[@monicamontoya1578]

Love it all! Shared this video with my mother. 🌹 I see so much of her and I, for that matter in your essence and style! You’re a beautiful human. Thank you for always inspiring and your authenticity! Much love! ♥️

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you kindly Monica!

[@0JReynolds]

Oh how lovely your bedroom looks. It’s always so wonderful when new bedding is purchased. I wish I could go with you and your Mom. We don’t really have many antique shops here. Of course, I don’t really need anything 🤣 Have a beautiful day ~ Janet 😘

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you so much Janet!

[@NicoleCB]

I totally agree with everything said about decluttering. My problem is the same with the added problem of being afraid to throw things away that are useful. Some things I have cannot be donated or sold, but I'm not using them and they are taking up space and unsightly. I have prayed to know whether or not it would be wasteful and wrong to just throw them in the garbage. If anyone wants to put in there two cents, please do!

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

If it can't be donated or sold and it's of no use to you anymore, it can definitely be thrown away. There is a time for everything under the sun, even a time to throw away and that's okay.

[@NicoleCB]

@@TheLadyoftheHouse oh, thank you! A time even to throw away. . . Thak you. I will pray on this. 😇

[@katie7748]

There's also the option of setting it out for free. Either at the end of your driveway, near a large dumpster, perhaps your local library has a space you can use, etc. One person's trash is another's treasure, after all 😊

[@susanvelez6534]

I did get a new down comforter after Christmas

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

How nice!

Dear Nikki, thank you for this beautiful video. It is as always very inspiring and beautiful filmed. I have a cup of tea and am sitting down and relax while looking at the video.Lots of love from the Netherlands.

Thank you Barbara! I love that you watch with some tea!

[@zannahhach179]

I'm going to try the Konmari method. Just read two of her books. My house is miserable and feels so packed. I'm definitely a natural minimalist. But with a husband and 5 kids...my home needs extra attention.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I loved her books! It can seem like such a daunting task, but as the lady of your house, I'm certain you can accomplish what you put your mind to! Wishing you the best Zannah!

6 to 8 inches of snow expected in THE BURGH Sunday/Monday temps below freezing. BORN AND RAISED In Pennsylvania but the older I get I NOW understand why the older move to a warmer climate. Except, my husband loves the stuff. HELP! Thanks for the motivation Nikki. STTB(SHARED TO THE BURGH!

[@heatherthompson8837]

That was a very ambitious first day of this vlog! Antiquing is so much fun - nothing beats browsing around in person. So, I also didn't know what happened to the Simply Shabby Chic line that Target used to carry, then I found it online through Walmart. I rely on their sheets for my summer bedding. I love what you've done with your bedding this year - it reminds me of a very luxurious hotel!

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

[@amyjoleen2747]

Hi Nikki! The dark blue dress is beautiful on you. The Shabby Chic line was picked up by Wal-Mart which was a disappointment. I have only bought her sheets since they came out years ago. But the new sheets at Walmart are polyester and not cotton. Polyester sheets are not for me. She does have her exclusive line available on her website. They are very high quality and the price does reflect that. Sending love 💕

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you Amy Joleen! I appreciate you informing me of this. I'm still in love with the floral comforters even though I don't get them, I wonder if one in the spring and summer would look nice at the foot of the bed, such a temptation!

Hello Nikki love the videos..🌷🌿🌺🌸

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you!

[@dianaroberts3625]

Nikki you are so inspiring and beautiful. Thankyou so much. I love dresses too. The thing is I am now elderly and wonder if styles like you wear are still appropriate for me. I too am all about femininity. Please if you would tell me what you think about whether I can still wear similar to your style. Thankyou. Diana Roberts

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you for saying that Diana! I think it comes down to what you are most comfortable wearing and what you wish to be covered, etc. That changes as we age so there may be adjustments but the overall silhouette I think is timeless.

[@marguerittetwinkle3624]

Nikki, another lovely video, I love the new sheets. it would be nice a video showing us how you paint furniture... I would like that, since I want to buy a little table and paint it white.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you Margueritte! I'm painting something in my next Lady of the House so I hope that helps but I definitely have more I'll share.

[@juliecarns]

Hello Nikki, Your bedding is beautiful and cozy! Do you like to buy new sheets each year? I love the lace details and waffle weave details: bliss! All the best, Julie 🌷

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you Julie! Yes, sometimes I'll get another set before the year is over if one needs replacing before, it just depends.

[@brifren2]

Thank you for this lovely video 🙂 Our bed has 2 pillows (to sleep on) then 3 cushions (removed when sleeping). I find too many decorative cushions make the bed and the room look optically smaller and "heavier". But yours look great! For summer I choose one of my vintage French floral or embroidered -by my grandmother or my mother- top sheets, in cotton or linen, and a white or cream cotton couvre-lit during the day. I was wondering if "coverlet" maybe comes from the French word couvre-lit, which means "covers the bed". In winter: our duvet in a cotton duvet cover, and a couple of thin but so soft blankets folded on the foot of the bed. I love the result to be very warm but also very light! I agree with you, it's much better to visit an antique shop in person, rather than online. I love to support their owners who work so hard and sit there all day waiting for local customers, we can chat with them a bit, and see the items for real 💓

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I love that you shared how you dress your bed! That makes sense as they are meant to cover the bed. Yes, the conversations are really nice to have in the shops. I feel I always learn something new.

[@janellegott2461]

Dear Nikki🌷, you are such an amazing and inspiring woman and I truly appreciate and enjoy your videos. I have a question, would you ever make a video that helps ladies when they are not feeling well? I know so many of us have been sick lately but still have to parent, work or continue to maintain the house to be ran and ect. I'm just curious how to still be the lady of the house even when under the weather. Thank you Nikki for all your amazing advice and videos. 🌺💖

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you for your uplifting words of encouragement! What a great topic, I'll give this some thought.

Would you say they are a comfortable fit for adults? Not too small? Have read all of the reviews but hoping to get some feedback from you 😊.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Welcome Luisa! I'm so glad you love what you see here! I love my chairs and my husband who at first said he didn't like them, prefers them now and really loves playing his video games in them and lounging. I think they are the perfect size.
