Charming Bungalow House Tour

[@ingelathune-boyle]

John's home interior looks very much like an English cottage. Most cottages in English villages look very similar except with an inglenook fireplace and a thatched roof! So cosy!

[@jeanieh9386]

I could watch anything John does. I think he is brilliant at combining vintage and new and managing to make it look perfectly curated.

[@charlesperez9976]

Linda,as you might know,I only comment as I view your videos,resulting in multiple comments. Your dear friend John,he touches on one of the most important aspects of the Christmas tree. It is the little handmade ornaments,or just the ones that are from childhood,the ones that bring back the childhood anticipation of the arrival of Santa Claus!❤️ And also,good heavens,John’s front door is amazing,like something out of lord of the rings,wow!!!!

[@charlesperez9976]

That marble fruit bowl is insanely beautiful,oh my goddd

[@charlesperez9976]

And,finally,that Joseph Perrier poster I’d fantastic! Belated merry Christmas to you,lovely Linda! Nice work,John,just beautiful!

[@peggydid]

I like John's Christmas additions to the already existing decor. That is the way I decorate for Christmas, too! I have a couple of topper angels around, a bell wreath in "rusted" metal that ended up staying in my kitchen all year-round! I have a 20-yr-old fake tree that is done in "all the things I like" and have collected over the years. I have 2 huge holly trees that I use greenery from for a huge windowsill, and have to replace once during the season. I put up a layered garland under the large stone mantel, of which some cards are clipped on. I do love the ideas for special touches here at John's house! It's not Christmas now, but I will watch this again next December! LOVE your skirt, Linda! What a find!

[@pamelastory1333]

I have watched four times! I love his style, what he collects, how he gardens etc. John’s grandmother surely had exquisite taste and style. Those angels and ornaments make me swoon. I wish John would develop a KZbin channel. Thank you Linda for your vlogs. I have learned so much about gardening and thrifting. Merry Christmas.

Beautiful home and Christmas decor! I remove a lot, wipe things down and put up Christmas decorations every year. I take a picture each year of my home Christmas decor. Though I may not decorate the same every year, it reminds me where I put things that year. I don't take photos of my things to put back, because so far, at almost 71, I remember. ;) LOVE his memorable decorations like the bowl of things his grandmother made. So gorgeous and meaningful. love, hugs,prayers.

[@mrsverovalera]

Beautiful home! I love when blue and white is done in a masculine way 😍

[@JulesFahey]

Teach us your ways, John! Just incredible beauty in each room. ❤️

[@davidhatfield5714]

Christmas is never to much work! Once a year it is magical, happy and just fun! Add music and just go crazy with what ever makes you happy❤️

[@billierenshaw3302]

Wow ..wow wow …my kinda house …..FULL OF STUFF…SO WELL DONE AND INSPIRING 🥰🥰

[@Murphyetal]

Enjoyed another tour of John's home. The decor is just so impeccably placed in just the right spots. I too tried to tone down my decorating this year. I know you will be pleased that when I finished my tree and did not want to go back into all my boxes trying to find my tree skirt, I improvised with one of the Kantha quilts I purchased after hearing about them on John's last house tour. It is an apple green with red and mauve florals and looks so festive under the tree! Thank you, Linda, for continuing to inspire us to think outside of the box! And, of course, a big shout out to John and his beautiful house as well as Stewart who brings it all to life on you tube!

[@germannlindastellarsisk3716]

Thank you AGAIN John.

[@davidhatfield5714]

Again, those Vintage keepsakes! And his grandmother’s angels!!! In all my hunts for treasures, I have never seen before. Truly priceless ❤️

[@patriciacasillas312]

Both him and his home are absolutely charming.

[@lustraveller717]

I like to replace some of my everyday decorations with my Christmas decorations. I like to change things up.

[@katiemansfield973]

I add to what I already have unless it is a spring or summer item. I love John's style. His collections from his grandmother are so sweet.

[@d.l.n.7133]

My grandmother had lots of those jeweled Christmas balls and one very large hanging ball that she hung in the front foyer. It had a ball under it that you pulled down and a Christmas song played. Unfortunately, l think that my mother threw them all out when she was cleaning out my grandmother’s house in 1978. My favorite part of the tour was the bedroom , the pottery bowl that the ornaments are in is beautiful. My favorite line was when Linda said “ oh look that one is especially sparkly “ pretending that an engagement ring was hanging off the ornament. So very cute. 🥰

[@nitahiltner9560]

I love the house, want to see the outside too!!! Love your skirt.

[@loriboyce942]

For those of us who cannot be with loved ones, these visits with your talented friends are so appreciated.

[@LindaVater]

🙏🙏🙏

[@barbarahoward1510]

I love this house. It looks so cozy. I would feel at home with the smaller rooms and lots of books.

[@rdoucette2953]

I always enjoy a tour of this joyful home. It is so artistic and elegant in its decoration. The host/owner enchants me with his lovely comments. Please visit with him, again and again.

[@melvaallen2774]

He has such a beautiful place

[@melvaallen2774]

Your camera man does such a awesome job of filming

[@C12133]

His home is so charming as is he!!! I love his style maybe because we are about the same age. I think he told us the year he was born in his tour of his home without Christmas decorations!! Thank y’all so much!! Merry Christmas!!!

[@janetvorenkamp3655]

Beautiful home. really shows how little touches can do a lot. And the sparkle of the glass ornaments - in every room - is a beautiful trademark touch for him. Special angels. Thanks for sharing.

[@elainneydiaz5975]

Love how he is honoring his Grandmother. She was very talented. God bless

[@donnadenning8438]

Really enjoyed the tour. I am a blue decorator and I loved how he added the Christmas touch without storing the blues. Thanks you

[@susank2647]

I live the way John does his Christmas trees with no theme! This is the way I've always done mine and I grew up with my family placing every loved ornament on the tree, no matter what "theme" it may or may not be. 👍❤️

[@lmb0123]

What an extensive blue and white collection! Just beautiful...

[@gailallen2895]

What a wonderful tour. I remember my Mother making some of the decorations especially the fancy ones from a kit...and the tree toppers she used on a table. Would love to look at all his art on the wall. Thank you.

[@Mandycapetown]

I watched with my mouth wide open in awe. Absolutely wonderful video. Oh my soul

[@daniellepizmoht3466]

Lovely home. John's tree was a reminder to KEEP and display older ornaments from childhood and from my family. I've gone with a more themed approach to decorating my tree and have left those in storage bins in recent years. After watching this, I thought, what a shame, I'm leaving out the most meaningful part! Answer to question of the day: I definitely add in Christmas elements within existing decor.

[@lynsmith7252]

S

[@annmcgee8960]

Love John's home had to subscribe.l have watched your channel for a while. I collect blue and white like John hadn't thought of incorporating into my Christmas decor definitely will do in Christmas22.Thank you both💚☘💚

[@dawnpakstas4650]

Oh my gosh! His grandmothers decorations are just gorgeous. He is so lucky to have saved them.❤️

[@MichelleElsten]

Such a joy to see John's beautiful home again. When I saw this pop up on KZbin, I intentionally held off on watching until I had the perfect time to set down and thoroughly enjoy it. Thank you. I loved everything about this beautiful home. Just a thought, I noticed his beautiful collection of artwork and would love to hear more about how it was collected, where to find and how to display such a beautiful artwork collection.

[@susangrother8931]

Thank you John!! Your home is special year round. Thank you For sharing❤️

[@fredbear72ify]

Such a beautiful home simply love the decor and the traditional tree full of special ornaments, I still use the old ones haven't bought any new ones for years. I prefer to embellish the few bits I have. Thank you for a very pleasant tour of this lovely man's home.

[@susanhunter1164]

I love their home. It definitely the home of my dreams as I love blue and white, books and artwork. I am sure I will dream about it tonight.

[@bettygotschall4504]

Oh I absolutely love that birdnest fern!!!!!!!

[@rondvu59]

I love John’s tree. I too have ornaments from 1933-2021. I sometimes incorporate Christmas with existing decor. Always carry a beautiful handkerchief, so you will have it handy when start to you salivate. I remember driving by Mrs Jackson’s in Utica Square. Not being a woman, I’d walk by the windows and think “that is an amazing shop”. FYI, you look beautiful in your dress. Until next time.

[@crowquilltarot]

Well, you embellish what you already have, because more is better. Such a beautiful home, and so generous of John to invite us in. I just love John's kitchen. Thank you, all.

[@kathyc2959]

Beautiful home and tour. As to your question of the day, with a few exceptions, I definitely embellish what I have. I'd have to rent a storage pod if I chose to remove everything first!

[@DianeML419]

I’ve watched this one a couple of times and will do so again. I never get tired of touring John’s home. It’s elegant and comfortable. Thank you all for sharing. 🎄❤️

[@nataliavalentina2341]

Linda thank you 🙏 I was hoping for a tour of his house. He has great taste! So beautiful!. Camera man! You are the best! Thank you for the video Linda and Stuart.🎄🌲

[@vickeypierce293]

Beautiful!! It does make me sad when I hear people say they are decreasing their decorating...I add more on every year because I just love walking into my house and it is all aglow with Christmas!! I cannot give away any because one day my family members will cherish these also

[@debbierice2618]

Linda thank you for another great tour. I loved the other 2 tours you did with John. This was my favorite, he’s a wonderful decorator. He has inspired me once again.❤️❤️❤️Love that white rooster picture on the wall.

[@phyllisanngodfrey6137]

I unpack Christmas and put my usual decor in the empty tubs. I enjoy the different looks in the different seasons. It becomes a matter of “rotating” tubs throughout the year. I 🥰🥰🥰 John and his home. He reminds me of my daughters cousin on her Dad’s side whose name is also JOHN. Wishing you, Stewart and John a joyful Christmas.

[@beverley1539]

I usually incorporate. Thankyou always enjoy when your friend is in your visits. Blessings to you and yours Ontario Canada

[@SheriShea1]

Being an OLD SOUL, I am in love with the vintage items and those homemade vintage bowl of velvet and rickrack type trim ornaments, LOVE LOVE LOVE, thank you for this tour~

[@healeronamission3607]

Same! I love the older, quality made items.

[@puplover6265]

When I saw that today's post was a tour of this beautiful house, I waited until the end of my day to truly enjoy it. Once again, so many ideas. Thanks to you both for sharing.

[@debbiehawkes7120]

Thank you John. You reinforced my love of maximum decos on the tree. We also have collected and been given a lot. Don’t see this enough these days. XX

[@dutchhillhome158]

Totally agree with Patricia....Both the home and homeowner are so charming! Thank you for another fabulous tour!

[@elizabethsimpson3874]

Hooray! Another opportunity to see Johns house. I have just about ‘worn out’ the last tour video. Love your taste John. Hello from Australia. Thanks Linda for taking us there again. Can’t get enough.

[@pattonkirkpatrick6521]

Love John's home. All of it

[@anad814]

Thank you so much for putting together these Christmas house tours. Love them! I so appreciate that you share all your thrifted finds.

[@lindafaierson6030]

Nice tour, love making vintage a highlight. Thanks for sharing.

[@queens6583]

OMG, his ornament collection is unbelievably stunning. The mercury glass and the bowl of velvet ornaments with ribbon and pearls are a treasure. Love, love the whole house.

[@AJones-xo3jg]

Thank you so much for letting me live vicariously thru you tour!

[@corey3151]

I embellish what I currently have out. I hate to put my everyday things away. Love the john videos. He's genius with decorating!

[@barbaramoses3503]

Miss Jacksons is a missed classic!! Love that you treasure Your grandmother’s decorations. First year not to clear out and decorate and I love my blue and white with winter greens. Real tree will go up this weekend. Thank you John for sharing your home and inspiration.

[@lianeabeyta4515]

I can just imagine how magical this home looks at night. Just so cozy and warm. As for your question ... I have an iron cookbook stand on my kitchen counter with my regular cookbooks all year. So I just change them to my Southern Living cookbooks as the covers are so festive. I have an old antique scale with a brass bowl part.... just replace the everyday fruit in it with pomegranates and clove studded oranges. And on my fridge I have an oversize basket on top all year, and just add brown paper wrapped boxes to look like gifts, add bakery red twine and a sprig of greens. Adds just enough Christmas! Thank you John for letting us in. It was such a treat into your world.

[@LindaVater]

Charming!

[@theenthusiasticgardenerind3490]

I love this home and garden. John seems such a nice gent. Enjoy these videos that you made with him.

[@SMElder-od5cl]

I loved the painting of the Santuarup

[@SMElder-od5cl]

Chimayo. Auto-correct bit me again! Sorry!

[@kaylac3367]

His home is so very lovely, cheerful and welcoming. Peaceful. When I decorate for Christmas I try to decorate around what already have. That way it's less work and I don't have to find a place to store things.

[@patriciaheath1894]

Wonderful tour……I decorate with my existing decor……fresh greens primarily 🎄🎄🎄

[@tammyharris11]

I cannot tell you how many times I have watched this video. It's one of my absolute favorites! It cheers me up and I absolutely adore that green teddy bear. I have looked all over for one and I have not been able to find one. Kudos to your friend for his wonderful taste.

[@jeane561]

Linda what a wonderful tour of a favorite house. The blue and white is a wonderful backdrop for the Christmas touches. Thank you so much Linda and John ❤️🎄💚🎄❤️

[@masterpiecegirl5642]

Johns home is perfection. There is nothing I would change. Thank you for the tour and Merry Christmas🎄🌲☃️

[@janfontana2530]

I remember the tour of his house, and so loved his decor🌹 So happy to see it decorated for Christmas🎄 There is no way I'm moving anything to put up Christmas decorations, I simply put it in with my decor💕 love you 💖 Merry Christmas to you and your family🎀

[@beckyann7572]

What a nice surprise, love the tour.

[@kathrynmoore1756]

I love the tours of John’s house!

[@cathyhatfield5340]

His home is so glorious with unique items❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@pamelaritch8587]

John fan here! I love everything he does. I try to work around what I have, but I do remove from one table items to set up my nativity. I always display my collection of antique Christmas postcards and my Christmas calendar plate from 1910 on my hall tree. Thank you for the tour.

[@bettyscott7920]

Definitely remember Miss Jackson’s in Utica Square. I no longer live in Tulsa but when visiting I always make a trip to the Utica Square Shopping Center.

[@lorayejones1203]

Loved the nice display of homemade ornaments in the big bowel. Great idea. The whole house nice done.

[@sherriludwig4263]

When I saw you were doing a bungalow tour I immediately thought I hoped it was his house. I decorate my tree like he does with collected ornaments over many years. I look every year for three new ones that are unique to buy. I also incorporate my Christmas decor into existing decor but I didn’t always use to take everything off my fireplace mantel and reload with Christmas but got so tired of boxing it up and removing it for a month or so, so now I incorporate my finds into my year-round decor so much enjoyable decorating without the stress of putting everything away. My dining table same way use to remove it all now I keep my mercury glass candle sticks and incorporate Xmas around them with my Christmas table runner and placemats. I love looking for unique decorations. I gave away a lot and kept what I really love to simplify my decorating instead of putting out every decoration I owned. I wish I could visit him and his house lol. Just love his style.

[@creative227]

I love Jon’s aesthetic!

[@shelleyimmel8067]

I mostly incorporate holiday decorating with what I have out, but I find that I am being more disciplined on how much I put out. I loved this visit to your friend's home. Just lovely🌲🌲

[@marybeth4002]

Oh, how I loved this video. Thank you Linda for introducing us to John - loving his style and I always end up wanting more content from him. Possibly interested in writing a book on your technique? I'm ready to pre-order. I just put out my late Mother's homemade ornaments from the 60's - they are just like the one that John picked out as his favorite just in different colors. This year I incorporated them on a light airy/fluffed pale gold tulle that surrounds the manger with my parents figurines. It feels so special. John's grandmother had great style and good sense to keep her specials and pass them down. Good souls.

[@lynnthow1650]

What special treasures and memories John has throughout his beautiful home in honor of his grandmother. I loved the tour so much!

[@faithcadwalader4578]

Absolutely lovely home holiday tour. I enjoyed every minute of it as I did of his garden tour! Many thanks to you and Stuart for taking us along with you!!❤🎄❤️

[@swansongvintage2639]

What a treat to see Mr. Turman's home turned out for Christmas!

[@odalis6177]

I also like warm lights. My tree looks like that one with also a lot of stories. We remove items to decorated and put out our collection of 470 nativity sets and village. The Christmas card tradition can not die.

[@donnamullins2089]

Beautiful home and decorations. Thank you Linda for the tour.

[@diannedballard2372]

My favorite home you have ever visited!

[@itsmewende]

Lovely home, love the vintage items. I prefer to remove mostly everything, well yeah everything, because I love to reuse what I have to redecorate in Jan. I have such a hard time finding things I love more than what I have, so redecorating is a pleasure. It helps spring get here a bit sooner for me too.

[@marilyncrick5458]

Thanks for the question about leaving or removing the normally out things. I’ve always had to put things away to put out my nativity. I do take pictures to remind how it was from past years. Great tour of his home. Love the show every time I get a chance to watch. My cactus is beginning to bloom for Christmas. I’m thrilled. This is the second Christmas without my husband. I’m trying to get the enjoyment etc back in my life.

[@dianetucker2711]

LOVE the rich jewel colors represented with John’s Christmas decor ❣️

[@pammanley7324]

Thank you for sharing John's Christmas home. He is always such a source of inspiration.

[@GrannyPrissy]

I am also a collector of blue and white and was thrilled to see the blue and white dispersed throughout the home. Beautifully decorated and loveliness everywhere! Thank you so much for sharing this home tour.

[@kaywhaley6694]

Always love touring this home. Thanks Linda.

[@julesdavis1845]

I want that basket!

[@bettygotschall4504]

Funny I also will take a picture of what it usually is, but have to remove a lot to make room for the Christmas. Gives you a change from season to season. His home is gorgeous!!!

[@karenadamson8950]

I just love this home ! And he is a jewel ! Hugs

[@mitchhobock683]

That was a very nice tour. Thanks

[@lindamontesdeoca4263]

I remove everyday items and all Christmas goes up. Love his blue in the bungalow.

[@kathleenreynolds6492]

Very nice video. Such a beautiful home. And Stewart’s videography is so good.

[@abdsaaxn9079]

So so so beautiful!!!❤️🌲🌲🌲🎁

[@kkate9366]

QOTD-A little bit of both! Loved the tour.

[@billierenshaw3302]

I love this home so much …have to play it TWICE 🥰❤️

[@gayestallings5194]

The three of you come together to make a perfect Christmas video!❤️💚💙
