[@nataliavalentina2341]

Amazing home!!!! She doesn’t follow any trends like millions these days, (houses looks the same) , she is authentic,creative and a real home of an artist. That home it really represents the soul of her. Absolutely gorgeous!

[@ruthiewilliams3482]

I’m a maximalist and am made fun of but I love my stuff. This precious woman has inspired me to clear the way to not feel guilty. Attic here I come!

[@mistyf219]

Is it weird that I feel sad that I don't know this lady and so many more in this world that I would have so much in common with. Thank you for introducing her to us. So many of us would be good friends if we knew each other. Love to you all.. and a great thanks to her for sharing her beautiful one of a kind home! I could read a book and drink coffee there so peacefully.

[@ralugator]

I echo your sentiments. Grateful for KZbin and people like Linda who introduce us to fellow gardeners and curators of beauty.

[@mistyf219]

@@ralugator I agree completely! Thankful we get a glimpse of other kindred spirits throughout this world.

[@DL-yo5tq]

Yes, I find it hard to find a good friend who enjoys antiques, home decorating and gardening....I really wish my mother in law was still alive to share this with...

[@mariagriego274]

Agree! I have great friends but none of them share my interests in antiquing, thrifting and maximalist home decor.

[@freedomofreligion3248]

We can be good friends. Watch her channel, if you're talking about Vater. Comment a lot and respond. Girl: 5.1 ain't much.

[@Paula-tw5bm]

Linda: Perfect description of her and her home “a life’s work and a life’s passion.” This is something that cannot be done in a short time. I’ve never seen anything quite like this unique home. Thank you!

[@joycemeske7682]

Think of all the children that were so lucky to be taught by such a beautiful sweet soul that this women. Obviously is, thanks for sharing this

[@LindaVater]

Yes!

[@TraciLMiller]

Swoon so dreamy!!! Like seriously from a dream. This is the kind of content we want that you deliver Linda...real peoples homes who have a lust for living well and it's not about how new and expensive and exclusive the home or its contents are. So refreshing and comforting.

[@Maria-fd7re]

One can tell this lady is very culture, and she finds beauty in everything!

[@lindaga820]

Thank for this tour. It's too much for me, but I appreciate seeing others decor. I CAN't even imagine trying to dust all her things !!

[@bettecannavino4047]

What a gracious lady to share her home with you and all of us!!! Thanks

[@ja-uh9gz]

Oh my goodness! I saved this video to view again in my favorite house tour file. Gorgeous home with so many wonderful collections. They way everything is displayed is an art in itself. It definitely has an English cottage vibe...much like Tasha Tudor, as you described. English homes are my favorite as they exude charm, coziness....and are not afraid of color, patterns and interesting collections...and gorgeous gardents, of course. Gorgeous home! I'm looking forward to part 2 of the gardens. Already, the preview of that is exciting. Thank you, Linda....and thank you, to the homeowner, for the generosity of sharing this special home. 😍❤

[@jetv1471]

This was delightful thank you Linda ! I like when you point things out like the way light hits things …. I have no training or skills in design and maybe I am not a visual person … so when you point things out it is a VERY REAL enlightenment for ME , which I have been applying to my home and garden thank you !

[@alexandralansdown7546]

I loved every one of her collections. However, just a tad too much for me. Think of the dusting! To each her own, a true treasure trove❤

[@juneramirez8580]

Alexandra. I have to agree with you there. I have collections also in my home. Living on an acre in the dusty desert and having a big dog coming in and out all day long, my farm house is very hard to keep up. I just have to realize it will never be spotless no matter how much I would like it to be. But I still enjoy it so much.

[@shirleyprescott1528]

Linda, I don't get to travel often, so this is so wonderful of you to take me to another place. Thank you so very much ! Her home is wonderful! Bright and homey!!!!! Love it😍

[@JeffCo-kd4jq]

Hello Shirley how are you doing today?

[@KayeCarterTV]

It reminds me so much of my mother‘s home. She was a collector from yard sales estate sales to Auctions. It was so much fun to see things in her home. Unfortunately, I’ve lost my mom in 2017…and I miss her so much but this video reminded me of her, by the way, I’m very blessed to still have my 94-year-old father. They were a great team together and love to collect…sending hugs, love, prayers, and kindness with positive thoughts.♥️🌹🙏🏼👍🏼🦋

[@JeffCo-kd4jq]

Hello Kaye how are you doing today?

[@deborahbavas6514]

I love her house and her gardens you showed through the windows! I love that your path crossed hers and you were able to share her, her house, and garden with us! Thank you, so much!❤

[@LindaVater]

I'm so glad!

[@veronicaviramontes9489]

Love love love this video. Please thank this beautiful lady for sharing. .

[@cherylramsey3409]

This woman’s whole house is very very much old New England. Reminds me very much of my grandmother’s farmhouse. Right down to the Dutch door, copper pots, ceramic pots, bowls, and old blanket chest. My grandparents had Gardens, but they were full of food to eat. She was too busy racing nine children and running the farm to be bothered with a lot of cut flowers and fancy things. What a treat to be invited to see a video of this woman’s home

[@debbierice2618]

Yes to touring Bunny Wiliiliam’s home. Can I go with you?

[@JeffCo-kd4jq]

Hello Debbie how are you doing today?

[@sandraparker2988]

What a feast for the eyes!! Thanks to all who made this video possible. Definitely one to save.❤

[@lianeabeyta4515]

Wow!!!!!! What an incredible , curated home. So unique, and very much Tasha Tudor esk. I love anything Tasha and have all her books. I did book mark this as I had to keep pausing to try and take it all in. A lifetime of treasures and memories. The Santa Fe room is beyond belief! All the books, baskets and amazing collection of pillows!!! Just beautiful. We are so grateful she allowed us in, ANd that view of the pond with the canoe.... be still my heart!

[@susanperry7703]

YES, be still my heart ...that canoe on the edge of the pond is like a painting or an Estate in England. You just wonder if she seen heard of Tasha Tudor, her friend was clueless, and I can understand CA is far from New England. I learned of Tasha Tudor from my subscribtion to "Victoria" magazine magazine in the early 1990's. I need to add one of her books to my Garden Book collection. Her plants and their pots and stands caught my eye in her home and specifically her courtyard.... Yes, be still my heart what a tour and we have yet to see Part 2 rest of outdoors....saving this for sure! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@juneramirez8580]

I bet she loves everything in her home. I am also a collector and only buy what makes my heart sing. My home is small, so many things are in storage and rotated every now and then.

[@annadunleavy5872]

I have many collections and also rotate seasonally. It's makes it fun as sometimes you can forget a certain piece. I also only keep what brings me joy. I look forward to the seasonal change.

[@kathleenroberts7972]

That larder!! The cozy cottage room when you walked in, it all felt like being in a painting. Adore this!

[@JeffCo-kd4jq]

Hello Kathleen how are you doing today?

[@RosaLopez-zw2ff]

Thank you for showing us her beautiful home in Rancho, Santa Fe. What a treat!

[@sharonbannister6564]

What a great antidote to all the January pressure to simplify. My parents were collectors who generously shared with all of us kids. My dad especially loved visiting his “Southern California collection” when he came to see us.

[@JeffCo-kd4jq]

Hello Sharon how are you doing today?

[@noreneclaburn1782]

Linda, this video was such a joy to watch. I had already thought about watching it again and slowing it down, so I could see everything. I love to see other people's life joys. She must feel such peace and joy in her home, having tea and just looking around her peaceful surroundings. Thank you so much for bringing us this video. May God bless everyone.

Hello Catherine how are you doing today?

[@libbymiller5240]

Oh Linda, WOW!!! I felt like I was transported to a lovely, charming English Cottage!! I will for sure be watching this again! I agree with you, there were so many reminders of your home! The baskets, the books, the "cozy" feel was so like your cottage on the hill! I just LOVED this tour!! Can't wait to see the outside!!!! Love and blessings...

[@terrybuckalew6874]

This house feels like love for some reason I love it

[@Cinderella1125]

Oh my goodness! Her collected cottage is wonderful and very interesting. Thank you for sharing her home.

[@vlink4071]

I love this lady’s house. What a creative soul she is in her compositions of her collections.

[@SCsweettea]

The house is perfection and the gardens look so fantasy like. As. Former antique dealer I appreciated her collections. I have a few myself. I am no longer a maximalist because I no longer, at 75, can keep it up, and I find this season of life I crave space. But, that said, I totally enjoyed her home, from top to bottom. As you said, the light was perfection in showing off her vignettes and wall art. Serious jealousy of the Sante Fe room. How gorgeous her collection is in there. May she live long and enjoy it all….

[@JeffCo-kd4jq]

Hello there how are you doing today?

[@kathyleach20]

Oh Linda! Thank you so much for sharing this incredible cottage (Great job on the filming btw) I love Tasha Tudor and have an appreciation for maximalist decor. The most beautiful part was the way things were displayed. I will rewatch many times. Can't wait for part 2

[@mareesimonis7656]

So much atmosphere .. everywhere you look there are interesting things to investigate. As you said Linda, “this is a life’s work”. Love yr Kimono/coat Linda. Xx

[@pomme800]

Gorgeous, rich layering of colour and texture ...Takes an artist's eye to be able to compose and balance so many different vignettes and spaces that are so inviting! Oh, I want to sit here and look at the view, and here , here and here, ...then there's her garden....As you said , a life's work. The wall of baskets in the Santa Fe room ,the TV surrounded by logs....and on, and on..the beauty never stops

Yes!

Beautiful! So elegant and warm and inviting. ❤

I am also crazy about books, baskets, and paintings..in fact I am an artist,,,, totally not a famous artist,, but wow. And also plant crazy nerd as some say. Thank you Linda for showing us such wonderful gorgeous stuff. Your house itself is an inspiration to me. Looking forward to more such gorgeous stuff. Take care and stay safe.

This home tour was the definition of "a feast for the eye". Kept spotting things that I love to collect, antlers, dried hydrangea, pinecones. Yup, I'll definitely be watching this again❤

[@bridgetlake]

What spectacularly enchanting home! When you said it was a lifetime of collecting, you were correct. Her sensibility is a constant, in that one room flows to the other, betraying her aesthetic, her love of well worn things with a story and, exquisite taste. You KNOW who lives there and that’s difference in a decorated house and warm, welcoming home. Thanks, Linda, for sharing. I’m so eager to view her garden rooms. ♥️

[@tammywinter9268]

I love that you speak so lovingly of your mother in law, so beautiful that you had a connection.

[@lindas.7083]

It's refreshing to see a cottage in Rancho Santa Fe. The downtown is quaint in itself but there are many large mansions/multimillion dollar homes in the area and Country Clubs...wealthiest part of San Diego County. (I'm sure this home is valued at a high number as well, given the market here and the size of the lots in RSF) I am a native of San Diego born in 1957 and would never leave. Thanks for sharing her home!

[@JeffCo-kd4jq]

Hello Linda how are you doing today?

[@lisagorman2480]

I have never bought into trends, minimalism, or the notion that all houses should look like an "after" on an episode of Dream Home Makeover. I also happen to love Tasha Tudor, so that probably speaks volumes about my taste, lol. This was lovely, Linda. I so enjoyed the tour. Now I want to live in La Jolla!

Hello Betsy how are you doing today?

[@bw3830]

The house is truly amazing but how in the world do you keep it clean? I imagine she has a cleaning crew but they have to be very careful with collectables on every possible surface. The owner certainly has an artists eye for decorating and should be very proud of her accomplishment.

I saw so may vinettes and arrangements that reminded me of your previous home. I really love these trips to see around others beautiful homes, and yes I have already played it back to particular parts that have caught my eye as I do with all of these home and garden tours that you bring to us, 2 of my other favourites were your neighbours back yard (the one with the Appletini door), I just adore this, and your trip to your family members home (when you went to the wedding).
