Early Springtime Refresh | Simple Decorating Ideas 2024

[@emg7717]

I must say. I am not religious in anyway but i absolutely love your little verses (excuse me if the wording is wrong) in your videos. U dont push ur beliefs on anyone, i love how you include a little something in your videos in a beautiful way. It makes me enjoy hearing them.

[@lianeabeyta4515]

Love the new mirror in the bathroom. Although the gifted art work is very nice... it does not fit your style or home aesthetic to me. For the formic type counter in the bathroom.. just get a nice plank of wood and stain it.. add handles at each end like a tray to add the country charm your house has. Moving the oval mirror near the gold faucet is perfect! It is a very sweet bathroom. I too, have a hard time paying $20.00 for a pillow. Thats why I like Ross ,,, they usually set a two pack for $20.00 . I love the Persian style pillows and have incorporated some into my decor this year too, Also , although $60.00 seems like a lot for faux topiary trees... when they last , you actually save money by not replacing real ones every season. I got two that have been in my yard for over 4 years now and they look the same!!!

Kirsten, I am praying with all my heart that you feel so much better this week. I pray that you will allow yourself that time to rest in order to let your body heal. Our God is good, and he is faithful to take care of us…please give yourself some rest, dear mama… And I am definitely praying for you to feel better. You cannot be more adorable, and darling if you tried. And one of the things I think I love best about your channel is when you speak words about Christ, and the word of God!❤

[@andreamcgee485]

Kristen - love the plants, totally worth it. Pillow on the bed is lovely, I vote taking the other pinkish ones back. You are so beautiful- hope you’re feeling better soon. Thanks for including the Lord in your videos!

[@lynnpierce2464]

This morning I told my husband that I was going to watch one of “my girls” as I turned on KZbin. I follow several of your friends also and I feel like y’all are family. Kristin God is really using your sweet spirit to bless so many women (even us older women). Thank you for sharing God’s word and love. Now for the decor…the girls bathroom looks amazing. All of your spaces tell a story of who you are and what God is doing in you! 💕💕💕

[@JenisePowell]

I love what you have done with the new pillows, they look great just the way you used them. Your topiaries look so realistic great place to put them. I love how you are including a scripture from the Bible into your videos. You have such a sweet spirit about you. ❤

[@lyndasterling9716]

I love your Godly heart in all you do. I truly love the flowers you have added. the pillow in your Master bed room is my favorite. God Bless!

[@gridironandgrace5844]

Kristen, I loved this video! Your videos are always encouraging and motivational, but so relaxing as well! Thank you for sharing and I hope you feel better soon! ❤️

[@tammyr6669]

I love your decor additions and changes! You decorated that bathroom like an interior designer!😊 Beautiful and I love all the mirrors and new prints. Tfs❤

[@margaretmast265]

I love all those pillows and I think they look nice where you placed them. Thank you for your readings. Very helpful.

[@JanStawara-hb4ef]

The plants on the front porch, look amazing. Totally my vibe. I know it’s a huge expense, but you will have them for a long time. I am picturing them decorated for the holidays. ❤️

[@vintagegirl2739]

I agree. Worth the splurge. They are faux cedars, love them in the crocks. The rocking cair pillows are still nice for Spring. Great video 🥰

[@nicolemacturk4491]

I love all of the pillows but you should decorate with whatever makes you happy. If you do want an idea, then I think pillows that match/coordinate with the colors in the stained glass of the living room and bedroom windows would be beautiful. Repeating those colors keeps the eye moving, at least I think that is what designers say. I also love the bible verses. It makes me consider them differently when you read them. Thanks for sharing your home.

[@fondayoung2085]

You made your bathroom look so cute with all of the changes! I love all of the pillows! And those faux shrubs look so realistic. Your home is so inviting!! God has blessed you with a sweet spirit and a gift of uplifting others!❤️

[@brendadaugherty9057]

The tall green plants look like Leland Cyprus . I have two on my steps on my porch.

[@TheMedleymom]

You look great with rainbow hair! I really enjoyed your video today. Lots of cute pillows out there, I have a hard time paying those prices too. I look out for sales a lot and can usually get them at good prices that way. Love the new door mat. So cute. The topiary trees you got for the front porch are not only a great price but look real! I think they look wonderful in your crocks. I hoe you feel better soon and have a wonderful week =)

[@Lil-Jack-Jack]

Love your channel- and keeping it real, and loving Christ, and sharing Him. Your home is so peaceful cozy and inviting. Don’t try so hard, accept your gifts from the Lord, they are good, and right and they do inspire all of us. Be gentle with yourself, love the bedding, feel better friend 😊

[@KristenHoffman]

Thank you so much!

[@mkp8942]

I love the Uv topiaries on the porch. Great idea. Totally worth the money.

[@KristenHoffman]

I think so too!

[@laurie4275]

It's so entirely true; a woman is most beautiful while pregnant. That "glow" is a very real thing.❤

[@marthamleynek2187]

Thank you for including God in your videos.

[@lauraleemitchell1260]

I really like the farmhouse style ticking stripe cushions you got and they go well with your existing cushions. My vote would be to take the lumbar cushions back with the tassels in the corners. Not sure they work well with the others. You look so beautiful with your growing belly. Hope you get better soon!

[@katetanti2114]

Kristen you re a shining example of a good Role Model to women One of many ..may I say, I feel uplifted listening to scripture and verse ,as a Catholic we were not taught the BIBLE only only when we listened to the Gospel at daily Mass . Ithis is The Word ..the Sword in Ephesians 6 (the Armour of God !! and that left me so very dissapointed to come to this relization of this .. Jesus was my best friend as a child ,and I today have returned back to being the same with the Lord Today as I was then . and I just want to say ..Thank God for the Blessing you and your Family share with us .

[@rhondahoward4778]

Kristen, thank you for your sweet devotionals. You have honored Josh and your girls so much by creating such a beautiful home. Do not doubt yourself you have a gift of creating lovely things. I would have never thought about framing an outlet.

[@fabiolagalindo9102]

Any friend of Jesus is a friend of mine. Beautiful

[@ednajohnson2190]

Kristen, you are looking so beautiful and I love the new hairdo. I personally love the new topiaries. Here's my suggestion, get a larger topiary and return the two smaller ones. Or, get two larger ones and return the two smaller ones. Everything does not have to be symetrical. In fact, the important things to remember is that you need to use the best staging of 3s, 5s, 7s, and also remember to elevate some of the accessories. It will be more visually appealing. Currently the topiaries are being dwarfed and overpowered by the wooden chairs (rockers?) I hope I haven't upset you by my suggestions but try it, you might find you like it.

[@UpstateGrammy]

Kristen, have you thought of buying pillow covers to change up your pillows for the seasons? They would be less costly and easier to store. Perhaps you could find a local seamstress who could sew them for you.

[@maggiepadilla6915]

In my opinion and thats all it is, since you like symmetrical I would put 2 square with 2 lumbars. Also, the blue stripe is very farmhouse and don’t coordinate with the Indian pillows. You can always turn the lumber one that is missing tassle, put missing one side down and it wont be so noticeable. The mirrors you switched look really lovely. The porch looks good too. The only problem I’ve had with faux trees outside is that the sun fades them and some of mine turned bluish green. Its a conundrum,lol. Praying you get well soon. Try finding a recipe for ginger shots. It helped my son’s wife stay healthy. Love you and your channel and your house and above all the love you have for our Lord❤

[@llnut4775]

Kristen I love the shrubs on the front porch, Hobby Lobby is amazing with faux plants & florals. Your girls bathroom looks so sweet! I sure hope y’all get your mold issue handled and are all feeling healthy soon.

[@maryjanesheppard]

Kristen...the bathroom looks awesome! Also, to save money, I buy (mostly) pillow covers from Amazon and just reuse inserts (also from Amazon). Just a thought! Blessings to you & your family. ❤

[@Grlinadk]

I like your Persian pillow theme. I have resolved to purchasing pillow covers over the years. I love my pillows so much and don’t want to get rid of them. I find good pillow cover deals online but also if you go into some of the higher end stores like Pottery Barn and West Elm, some times they have amazing deals on really nice pillow covers. I think I paid $14 per pillow cover at West Elm last time I was there. Also, don’t sleep on Walmart and Target, they have some really nice pillow options too, budget friendly.

[@conniemorgan8402]

That blush pink top is a great tone for you❤️❤️

[@green542]

I think everything turned out beautiful, it does brighten up the space, no worries on being symeterical. Love all the flowers it makes it look so spring and cozy

[@marlenestephenson1239]

I love your bouquets and the pillows add a pretty Spring touch. Pray you start feeling better.

[@rushmartin7343]

I like the topiaries. I would put some spring cushions on your rocking chairs and put them in a bit of an angle instead of sitting straight out

[@jacquelinemcmillan8092]

Loved the bathroom refresh and the bee mat. I recently bought a mat from Aldi here in Australia and it has cockatiels on it and it makes me happy every time I look at it 😀🦘🐨🇦🇺🌏

[@barbarabias5440]

❤Glad you are feeling better. Love your home! I buy pillow covers for our pillows to save space for different seasons.

[@pampayne9033]

Kristen, enjoyed watching your videos. The plants on the porch looked great. Hope you feel better soon. God bless you and your family.

[@conniemorgan8402]

That baby bump is adorable.. a new life gives us ALL a renewed hope and joy ❤️❤️several you tubers that I follow are expecting and we all get to share in the excitement .. somewhat 😉 and prayers and positive thoughts to all of the coming new lives.. we need this, today, more than ever, much love to you and your growing family.

[@KristenHoffman]

So true!

[@lavettamoff7883]

Kristen,you are glowing with the blessing of childbirth . My pastor gave such a beautiful sermon today on this subject. We were in First Timothy 2.Your house is so lovely Love your posts from Your 73 year old Sister in Christ.

[@KristenHoffman]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@shellybell7240]

Great video!!!! I adore the girls’ bathroom with how you decorated! I use mirrors galore in my decorating…so I love how you designed using them! Also, I don’t think any of the tasseled pillows actually need tassels!!! They are so pretty alone! ❤

[@ellensperry3825]

So lovely all of it. Keep the pillows!!!! Hope you’re feeling much better now! ❤

[@shellypontz4155]

The pillows are ALL beautiful! Keep them! Your home is lovely, and your design and ideas are wonderful. Keep doing what you're doing.

[@marthamleynek2187]

I love your top.

[@brendasparks6234]

I love how you share the word of the Lord. And your sweet voice just rings his word. The tassel pillow without one of the tassels flip it so you see the two tassels on top and I’ll just look like the other tassels talked underneath it I like new pillows, but I didn’t like them with the old ones. Too many for me. But it looks beautiful and if that’s what you like keep it I hope you’re feeling well. Enjoy your girls and the baby to .come thank you for sharing

[@January14q]

Love the dried flowers in the pitcher!

[@dianadavis5993]

What a delightful video! I love all the scripture and wise words. Thank you for sharing your heart for the Lord! As for your home I love what you did in the bathroom. I may have to check out those prints you hung up. Your home looks absolutely welcoming and sweet. I like the pillows although I agree the prices of pillows makes me cringe. However, sometimes it is nice to treat yourself and they look perfect on your couch. The colors complement everything you already have. Praying for your health and your sweet baby that’s growing inside you. Take care Sweetie! Until next time my friend.

[@pamelarichards6482]

Kristen you are so much fun! Just keep doing what you’re doing and we will enjoy it. I am a midwesterner as well and we have our own style for our homes and none of them are wrong. Love your home.

[@carolmiller8811]

I love it when you film in your entry/dining room because of the way the stained glass window casts rainbows! The “ugliest room in the house” is no longer ugly - it looks lovely. Feel better, my friend.♥️

[@loricowell3911]

LOVE your readings. They are always beautiful and always relevant for me. Thank you for always sharing

[@KristenHoffman]

You are so welcome

[@carolrodenbeck2381]

I love the faux bushes you put on the porch. They are keepers. Love the larger mirror in the bathroom and moving the other mirror over the sink so the girls can see themselves. The pillows are all personal choice. I don't think the prices were bad at all and they will last a very long time. Your house is looking beautiful and cozy. Get well soon Kristen. God bless you and your family.

[@nanetteholt1957]

I’m with you. I don’t buy things with words on them. I absolutely refuse to buy clothing with words on them.

[@elisabethizzy77]

Hey girl!! I think the farmhouse stripe pillows would look best on the bed with that little pink one in front of them. The couch would look best with less I think! The grey pillows you have that are Satin look great with the new pillows , but not the farmhouse ones I think. If you do leave the farmhouse ones on the couch, I would remove the others.

[@dolorespearson434]

Hi Kristen! I really proud of you embracing decorating loving on your home...Im loving the change in your channel and that you are changes things up in your home to your liking! Keep it up!!

[@sheilavanduynfote5539]

Kristen thank you for always incorporating God in your video, may God bring you healing from your sickness. Our God is amazing and ever loving us. The pillow on the bed is beautiful, and if you like the pillows on your sofas keep them. I love your home so much!!!! Have a Blessed week❤️🙏🏻

[@sandyprather9133]

Love the new mirror in the bathroom!

[@nancydroge7682]

Phenomenal quote by Thomas Merton! (Read one of his books in college & made me want to learn more about his life as a Monk.) Brilliant use of your florals! The light Josh hung in bathroom… I SO appreciate your attitude on such things! Bathroom is beautiful! Your pillow thoughts… I too, love the one in your bedroom! Faux trees freshen up your porch. Wreath & doormat… charming! Finally, the way you incorporate scripture is so fitting & meaningful! Thank you for this! Kristen, please take care of yourself, whatever that looks like for you. If you need time off, please take it knowing that we will be right here for you, when you return! You’re irreplaceable! 💕🙏🏼

[@gayemarianesfox2405]

I agree. There are many things we just won’t find at thrift stores. My finds are more things I can incorporate not what I’m out searching for.

[@melindaferreira9879]

I think the one on your bed looks great! On the sofa.. not so much.. I like the pillows but not together.. the striped linen ones are so pretty.. maybe two on the bed? Idk.. the empty stacked frames on the mantle look awesome!! I do that too. It's such a vibe. Love it! Also the frame over the bathroom outlet.. super cute and clever and lastly.. I adore dried florals! Your outfit is so pretty. Great color on you.

[@tinaforeman4678]

Love the prayers of blessings you speak over our lives. May Jesus richly bless you and your family. It looks as though he already has. For me too. Praise his Holy name.

[@KristenHoffman]

Yes, thank you

[@teresadeforge2911]

Hi Kristen, with a new baby on the way good for you for getting some things that make you feel good in your surroundings. Since you thrift most of the time, I think once in a while it’s OK to get some new things. The bathroom is so sweet. As hot as the summers have been, the faux evergreens on the porch are not a bad idea.

[@relliot1000]

That bathroom is huge! I love it!

[@barbsterk5030]

I love your more minimal look for spring! Pretty flowers and pillows! Love the small trees! I just picked up one of the same tree but larger and love the look of them. I couldn't find another one but I think I'll be fine. Had the same thoughts about not needing to water those! They look great on your porch,

[@catrice7126]

We had 24 inches of snow last Thurs at my house in Colorado I love false spring

[@salazark1493]

I loved it ! 💕💕 I know pillows can get expensive and I try to stick to changing covers … also love this natural flow of your videos . God blessed you !!

[@KathyH231]

I so look forward to your Sunday videos and you sharing Christ❤️ sending blessings your way 🙏

[@mc5366]

Love the pillows Kristen! it's a nice addition for sofa and bed. Also, like the flowers. Your home is beautiful God Bless!

[@kathielemieux31]

They have a company in Maine that makes doormats from fishing rope that are really durable and pretty

[@phyllisanngodfrey6137]

I would keep the bedroom one and the two square ones for the living room……PS. Thomas Merton is great. Check out St. John Henry Newman’s writings from the the mis 1800’s….great wisdom there, too 😉

[@donamurphy8182]

The pillows are keepers ! I don’t thrift pillows unless they have original tags indicating they are new. Think strangers heads on them…yuck haha. You deserve new pillows! I just bought faux flowers at Hobby Lobby 40% off and LOVE them! I bought some that look like the ones you bought and a few other type flowers. The pillow prices shock you at TJ’s but in reality, $16-$20 for beautiful pillows is really not that expensive. But I get sticker sho k after being a thrifter myself. Happy Spring!

[@BarbKamer]

Love it all! You are so humble and so kind! Can’t wait to hear what you’re having! Congratulations!

[@paleblue4659]

I love the flowers in the white pitcher, and your bathroom changes are so smart! I like the pillow on your bed and the farmhouse pillows. I might run go look for those for myself! Cute! I like that they are linen and cotton. I also think the greenery on the porch looks very realistic and love the wreath and the door mat! Great job. You have really inspired me today. Thank you!!

[@KristenHoffman]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@shelbyhambright9543]

/he side porch wreath and mat are so cute. I can't wait to see the flowers in place

[@leewebbstock8300]

I think the blue stripe pillows will look very cute on your bed, as your laps has also blue in. Love your trees on the porch :)

[@valeriespackman4019]

I can’t wait to have Spring in Colorado. Last week the weather was so nice and then on Thursday, March 14th, it totally snowed more than a foot! March is our snowiest month. April is our second snowiest month!

[@debrademedici864]

Kristen I love the girls bathroom, love the mirror , prints !!!!!! Great job !!!!! Love the farmhouse pillows … you are right about the flowers , they look so real !!! Plants on the porch look real!!!!!!!! You look beautiful, you just radiate love !!!!!!

[@HomeMadeVintage]

You’re right, anytime I’ve gone to a decor store lately I lose my breath when they tell me the total! 😅 but new pillows, blankets and greenery are the only things I can justify spending money on!

[@judymcintire8061]

Love the pillows but definitely take the one with the tassel missing back or cut the 3 others off. The trees on front porch look awesome & love the fake flowers!😊❤😊>

[@trinapemberton]

I think the pillows are so great! I’d return the one missing the tassel though, if it were thrifted it’d be different but it’s new!

[@karenburgess3560]

Personally I think the less pillows the better. But you style so well I am sure your sofas will look fabulous!

[@CaroldDubach]

Love the green shrub's on the porch !

[@lindasmith5190]

I love the bathroom. Make sure the nails are strong enough to hold the new mirror changes. Love the faux plants on the porch. The white floers look so real.

[@sherylpastoor7499]

Love the faux shrubs that you put on your front porch! I think they look very realistic. When I saw them in the store I thought they were exactly what my sister in law was wanting for her porch. Also love the blue stripe farmhouse pillows and the darker pink one. The girls bathroom is so sweet. Always enjoy watching your videos. Your home is lovely and so welcoming! Have a blessed week🌸!

[@lisamason3299]

[@janwhite1361]

Great job, Kristen, on the BATHROOM ! Great combo of frames !! PRACTICALITY is always the BEST motivator to GREAT design. ( you might be able to trim down a tiny piece of the fixture that hits the ceiling...its worth a try) :0)
