My soul needed a recharge while at home. This is how I did it this week.

[@c.s.s.8117]

You just can't underestimate the joy bringing something new and beautiful into your home can give you. It really can elevate your mood considerably.

[@susanthompson569]

Oh my gosh! "Hoarding...it's a good thing" and then... your expression... completely cracked me up! Thank you for that!

[@lidiamurray5618]

Hello Linda💕I feel like I just came for a visit. “Look what I bought!” You shared ideas and fun items. “I’m going to throw together a beef stew…let’s have coffee.” “Smell that bread”. “I love how the tulips droop”. “Come for a walk with me and I’ll show you what happened to my crabapple trees”. How I enjoy our visits. I feel like an old friend…a kindred spirit! Thanks my dear friend, Linda💕💕

[@deniselotinsky856]

Indeed

[@maryohare4141]

I told my husband...it isn't hoarding...it's "selective, advanced collecting" and he replied, sounds like a college course YOU could teach!

[@newenglandfineliving]

Love it!!

[@lindagallagher2794]

I’m glad you thrift! It is a great way to save the planet to reuse or recycle things! I’m with you!

[@pistachio57]

The trio of doors behind you look so much nicer without the army green color.

[@jeanzaebst8605]

Oh Linda, you’re my kind of girl!! Go out for a loaf of bread and bring home home decor!! 🥰 I’m taking on your new mantra !! Lol Hoarding.. it’s a good thing!! 😂😂😂 as alway I love your beautiful finds and look forward to your videos! Tyfs! Jean

[@carollewinson1555]

What a lovely start to the week! I thoroughly enjoyed the serenity of this video. Thank you!

[@leslieweber5177]

I laughed out loud when you said “I went out to get bread and came home with….” After that snowstorm and all the work you have been doing in your home over the winter, you deserved a little shopping spree. The wicker and old wood brings warms to a home; they’re beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy. 💚🌷😊

[@tammy3424]

"Hoarding, It's a good thing" LOL LInda, it's not hoarding, it's enjoying our treasures we find. :)

[@newenglandfineliving]

So true!

[@nata3467]

Funny...while I am working on getting rid of everything possible as I work towards downsizing, it is fun to watch you.

[@kennabaskerville6237]

Hi Linda.....I love our visits. Thank you for having me over. I love you comfortable welcoming home and all your special finds. Beef stew is one of our favorites and "yes" so much better a day or two later. God bless kindred spirit...hello Willow. ❤

[@lindamurphy1439]

I'm 7 weeks post op and still hooked up to oxygen, so your videos are a life line for me. You seem so peaceful and it comes across in your voice, your mannerisms and your music. I always feel better after watching you. Thank you so much!

[@newenglandfineliving]

Wow, thank you! Feel better soon!

[@bonniemiller9197]

I love it when you give yourself permission to do nothing. This crazy world takes it's toll on one if you are not aware, and suddenly you need a redo of your soul. But you make it so okay to take time for you. Good girl, Linda and blessings on what you give to your kindred spirits.

[@lindaga820]

Bonnie, I totally agree . Many times now I feel like the world is going Crazy!! Linda's videos are so soothing to me !!

[@desertdweller8374]

Your vlogs are a visual feast for my eyes but the title of this video really hit home for me. The world is wearying to me and I needed to remember that I am safe at home and can recharge by fluffing my nest. Thank you for your peaceful, serene, and beautifully crafted videos. You really soothed and recharged my soul this morning!

[@jgator6694]

“Fluffing my nest”…I love that. I am a homebody and that phrase resonates with me. ❤️

[@joanellis5831]

Linda I always feel like I’m home when I watch your ideas and crafts , thrifting and consignment shops.. Everything I love.. I just love it all.. I’m so glad the day that I came across you site.. I have been a subscriber for sometime now and I look forward to each and every video.. Thank you for always sharing..

[@newenglandfineliving]

You are so welcome! Thank you!

[@justgeorge3728]

I was a little sad when you painted the doors in the kitchen, but everything has come together beautifully. A little warmth and texture always adds a home in the house. Thank you for sharing your home.

[@lindaga820]

Thank you Linda, another restful video. What a great thrifting haul plus a bunch of beautiful tulips !!! Now I am hungry for beef stew !!

[@newenglandfineliving]

You are so welcome!

[@marypoole4724]

Love that basket you hung on the door. I could see it filled with flowers to. But I love your idea of using it. You make it fill so refreshing when you step outside. Love the haul. Enjoy the rest of the weekend. Hugs

[@geavonnashel9185]

Using a diamond nail file works wonderfully for flee bites on glass. I always love, love, Love your videos!

[@connierodenburg129]

"flee bites" sweet! I'd never heard this phrase.

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

I love how your kitchen, butler’s pantry and dining area feel they are so warm and cozy. How very far you have come with you own talent for design and some great crews to make you ideas a reality!!

[@patralink]

The draperies are such a find! I really like the flat basket on the spice door. It looks perfect there. And seeing Willow playing in the snow made my morning!

[@sharischmidt4712]

My husband and I did the same thing in our uptown city condo, very modern light gray/ white . To make our city home more cosy was to introduce light warm wood floors throughout and decorative items that are both beautiful and functional . Our ceilingd are ten feet with floor to ceiling windows, beautiful light but a bit exposed so creamy/ white linen drapes on black simple rods did the trick along with white wooden blinds for complete privacy. Our Lake Home is painted with Benjamin Moore midtone colour Danville Tan with all the trim and doors Cloud White, definitely a warmer colour scheme but it's beautiful against the evergreens and the lake. Everything you and your husband have done looks lovely and looks very much at home with our outdoor surroundings!!!😊

[@RamonaL909]

Lovely finds. So enjoy the sounds of nature when you are outside. Enjoy

[@MariaDiaz-yj9xj]

Your videos are so inspiring for, Like you say “my brain is spinning with ideas” to redecorate around the house. Thank you ❤️

[@donnamiller83]

Linda, like you I love the 'thrill of the hunt' for consignment and thrift stores. I've gotten lovely things from all over . Charleston s.c. to FL. Etc. Thank you for this video particularly. Love that you 'admit' when things don't go perfect or you have down feelings like all of us. Just love your home and decorating talent. Keep videos coming please. ❤

[@rosemariemello6675]

Love your home!! You look so young and fresh with your hair in a ponytail ❤

[@newenglandfineliving]

Thank you so much!

[@KimLittlejohn2023]

I'm getting a little recharge today by watching this older video of yours. I like the way you handle your cabin fever.

[@merlebrown1565]

Ahhh Linda! You drink your coffee black! You are my kindred spirit!

[@denisecoviello5619]

When you showed your tulip arrangement, I couldn’t help but notice how wonderful the new windows and fireplace looked in the background. 🌷~•~💗~•~🌷

[@brendacejda7069]

We had a little "skiff" of snow yesterday, (I'm in western Kansas,) which makes me even more anxious for spring. I enjoy your content so much, Linda. Thank you for inviting us into your lovely home!

[@lauravandien2363]

Your videos are like being there with you. Feels more like talking to a friend. I love the tall glass vase with the tulips. How beautiful everything has come together.

[@geavonnashel9185]

Hoarding, It's a Good Thing! My new favorite quote!!!

[@newenglandfineliving]

LOL!

[@dreamagood8321]

Tulips have always been my favorite flower 🌹

[@kathyficarotta598]

Hoarding is ok, I laughed out loud. I don't need any encouragement to hoard Linda. I have things I've purchased years ago that haven't seen the light of since they came home with me. You inspire me. Spring is coming and time to dream new dreams around my home is happening. Have a happy week!!!

[@lauraallen9720]

Your home is beautiful! Love your style! The baskets are so nice!!!

[@lookingup333]

I redid my kitchen about six years ago. I live in a Bucks County stone farm house. I'm looking at your kitchen and noticing several elements that I chose; the crome farmer sink faucet, the black knobs on the cabinets, the open glass doors. And the black latches on the doors bedind you were already here. Classic and beautiful!! 😊

[@gabrielasimmons2401]

Dear Linda, everything looks so beautiful. Love your new kitchen and the pantry. As always you have an outstanding Taste and what you do is so inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing ❤

[@newenglandfineliving]

Thank you so much!

[@ingridblohm-hyde805]

Wonderful items Linda. I love it when you reveal the music you play - you have such good taste in music as well, thank you for that.

[@deborahbradley7530]

We have candles in all of our windows…always have…always will!❤️

[@terriespock5384]

Linda, I saw a sign a while back while I was out shopping and I have never forgotten what it said and I now think about that when I’m out, it said… The item you saw today and want to think about tonight Will be sold later today To the people who saw it yesterday and thought about it last night! I now don’t think about it I buy it. Love your channel and look forward to your videos. Much love from PA.

[@marieschmidt9416]

I enjoyed it all, vicariously. Love your decoration taste and videos.

[@newenglandfineliving]

Thanks so much! 😊

I love the sphere shaped ice and they are so beautiful in a pitcher with lemonade and fruit and berries, or fruit slices.

Everything is coming together so nicely. Really inspiring. Thanks so much for all you do.

[@jean2927]

What a lovely video, Linda you are so inventive, the narrow basket is an unusual shape but looks perfect on the door of The Butlers Pantry. You have had a tremendous amount of snow, I suspect you are so looking forward to seeing your garden again & watching the spring return outside. I think your barn will look just gorgeous in the lovely NE Red colour when painted, I love those NE barns & the wreath will set it off a treat. Thank you again for your inspiring ideas… just love that Miss Willow in the background, she makes my heart melt!…😊

I love buying functional antiques! I still use my vintage pastry cutter.. your wooden muddlers are often used for making saukraut I think.. I use one for homemade fermented saukraut! Love it

Always a pleasure Linda. I absolutely love that red shed ☺️❤️.

[@bev3279]

Linda, I LOVE your thrifting-finds videos. Your property is beautiful, what a calming video. The basket on your door ….. love it. I want it!🙂

[@LifeathomewithJoanne]

The curtains are beautiful! Such a great bargain! ❤ The tulips perked up nicely 🤩

[@kathleenrussell254]

I love your channel Linda. So much fun to watch. I would love to live in your area. I lived in Virginia when my husband was in training. It was wonderful. I love the history that surrounds the area . I'm sorry you have had the grumpies. That deep snow can do it for sure. We are finally getting through it here in Spokane Washington. I'm ready for blooming flowers and beautiful bird songs. Sounds like you are as well. Take care...and keep those creative juices flowing.🏖

[@TheRayjane]

I loved when you said I have to find a place to put the draperies....then on the screen to hide them...I hide things from my husband too😂. I love all the wood and wicker you purchased ...I’m a lover of baskets you can never have enough. So sorry you lost some beautiful trees....excited to see your gardens this spring and summer 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

[@dianeoneal4183]

Gorgeous tulips in such a fantastic glass vase..Your beautiful basket finds make the space complete! You have such great taste... and your shopping finds are ALWAYS amazing. The kitchen and new pantry are so dreamy..and photograph so well. Hope you bring back your magazine..I didn't get one because they sold out too fast! THOSE CUSTOM DRAPES are bella..bella..Such A STEAL! CANT WAIT TO SEE THEM UP. On a personal note.....you are a "bright spot" in my day Linda! MAY God bless you and Ben. Stay safe and close to Jesus. Tough times are ahead. You are a blessing to many..so keep shining your talent... giving all the glory to God! FOR HE LOVES YOU and gave His only son for your salvation.

[@pistachio57]

I really enjoyed the walk on your snowy property with the lovely music. Too bad about the tree damage, but you may be able to save some of them.

[@marciamellow1211]

I want that bread... Life is what you make it.. Love❤

[@glgardener4972]

I had to laugh out loud when you said you went out for a loaf of bread and look what I brought home-the look on your face: priceless!!! And hoarding-it's a good thing!!! I agree....we are indeed kindred spirits. I prefer, as you do, a blowsy bouquet. Love the tulips. I really like your vase and am looking for a similar one. Everything is looking wonderful The draperies were a steal. I cannot wait for the next installment!

[@brendaw53]

Hello Linda! Love the touches added to your home! The wicker baskets are beautiful and the neutral and natural tones and textures are perfect! ❤ 🌷 🧺 🥖 as always, excited to watch all your videos! ❤

[@joyceschneider8377]

Good morning, so good to see you in your new kitchen. Love waking up and having a cup of tea/coffee with you in the mornings. I started going through your old DIY videos yesterday: dried orange slices, beef stew, gourde garlands, polishing silver, butterscotch rum cake etc. so much fun. You make me so homesick for New England and shops, snow and old world. Thank you for taking us along. You are really inspiring me, down here in the south. Have a good Easter and spring. Can't wait to see how the kitchen, pantry develop . Thank you again. :-)

[@heidim6468]

I swear you are the queen of great finds……Love the curtains and cups with rattan and matching basket.

[@laruetoombs678]

I was given an identical set of wicker cups and tray in 1978 as a thank-you gift for house-sitting at a friend's home. Loved them. A little jealous now that I don't still have them. (downsized)

[@jo-annmaruszak9885]

I definitely would have purchased that beehive woven cloche and the wall basket and the tulips and the drapes! Nice to see Willow chilling out on the snow (literally!)

[@maryjanegrosclaude1913]

Linda, Another enjoyable video. Loved all of your finds. Loved the ice cream glasses. The cup and teapot. Just adorable luv mj

Thanks you so much!

❤the arrangements… the tulips 🌷 are so beautiful. We have them coming up in our neighborhood and are absolutely gorgeous. We will be planting bulbs this fall so we will have some in our yard next year. I love to see your videos. Everything is just turning out beautifully…and sending hugs, prayers, and Kindness ❤

[@keredding]

Linda, your home is just lovely, as are you. Thank you for sharing what you do.

[@cathyhermanson10]

Oh, Linda, you are just so much fun. Thank you for sharing all your beautiful purchases. I just loved them all, but that gorgeous green cup and saucer caught my eye, for sure, because that is my favorite color....dark green. Your home is just BEAUTIFUL. I also got to see my favorite painting, Good Queen Bess. I am determined to find her for myself. I actually did some research and found a few, but I have not decided which one I would enjoy the most. I am looking forward to seeing your home at Easter and maybe we will be able to hear you read Peter Rabbit? I know you understand that, right? I was also the girl that was going to share my 3rd grade teacher story with you after you shared the Nativity with us. I do not have your energy, but I will get that story out to you in the next couple of weeks, hopefully. We are going on vacation and that might be a good time to write you.

[@lisadodge9565]

Thanks for the wonderful inspiration this morning. Great find with those drapes! I am waiting on a custom Roman shade for my kitchen and it is pricey. When it comes to home decorating I struggle with the small details and the "layering". Your videos have given me some ideas!

[@anndinitto1936]

Just saw your u tube channel very enjoyable I like your style. Nice to see a channel that is about New England as I’m from Ma not to far away. Thanks for sharing

[@chrissyt6959]

I so appreciate this and enjoyed my visit. I spent my day today doing something similar because I am also in need a recharge. :)

[@JolovesDecor]

Don’t worry about your cup w a pink straw. That’s real life. Even in the filming of Downton Abbry, they forgot a Dasani bottle was on the mantle. Lol I love your beehive wicker dome. Loving the textural layering. I had a wicker beverage set once, but not functioning because of the very reason you stated. Cup stuck in the wicker. Yours is beautiful. Sorry for the edits, but I wrote this without my readers. Any oddity, please forgive me 😂

[@judithpresgrove739]

Good Morning Linda! Thank you for taking us along on your trip to "get bread". So fun and love all the Spring decor to brighten up your beautiful home. I drooled over those drapes!! What I could do with those!! Looking forward to all your inspiring projects. Love your door basket in your pantry, but might I suggest a decorative door hook? It would look more purposeful and give more support for your contents. Spring has sprung in Georgia and Augusta is preparing for the "Master's Golf Tournament" next week. It will be a week full of traffic, traffic, traffic!! Wish I could send some warmth your way, but it's coming! ❤from GA!

Dear Linda, this was so interesting, and enjoyable. It's just what I needed. I love the tips you share with us, and... how you move from one "project" to another, so seamlessly. That's something I'm learning to try to do.👏❄️☀️

[@newenglandfineliving]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lianeabeyta4515]

Wood and wicker are a must in my kitchen, to make it feel homey. Also a little lamp on the counter . I had to laugh with the note that Ben left a glass with an orange straw out... not one viewer would have even noticed if you hadn't brought it to our attention, We were all focused on the lovely bread and gorgeous finds. I have one of those door baskets on my kitchen door and decorate it seasonally. RIght now its filled with faux vegetables... artichokes, onions, garlic, bundles of long pea pods and carrots.

[@dlfrey62]

I'm a recent admirer! Thank you for living (and sharing) the life I always dreamt of.
