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

[@pistachio57]

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

[@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!

[@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!!

[@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

[@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. ❤

[@carollewinson1555]

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

[@leslieW5177]

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. 💚🌷😊

[@lindagallagher2794]

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

[@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

[@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 !!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!!!😊

[@deborahbradley7530]

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

[@KimLittlejohn2023]

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

[@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!

[@dreamagood8321]

Tulips have always been my favorite flower 🌹

[@merlebrown1565]

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

[@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

[@RamonaL909]

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

[@LisaAnnFlourishes]

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

[@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!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!! 😊

[@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.

[@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.

[@denisecoviello5619]

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

[@ozarkmountainhomegrown]

Love all your vignettes of fine living! You definitely have an eye for treasures that blend so beautifully together. Thanks for sharing and for lifting my spirit as well! You’ve inspired me once again!

[@marciamellow1211]

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

[@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.

[@geavonnashel9185]

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

[@newenglandfineliving]

LOL!

[@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. ❤️

[@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!

[@elainejones7653]

I love your videos always excited when new one comes out. I am 70 and diabetic and seem I have no energy to do all the things I used to do especially since I got covid ,but your videos do inspire me.. thank you

[@blessings4381]

Oh my, I love the tray, pitcher and wicker covered (?) cups. Your vlog is always a joy and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your time with us.

[@danielleosentoski520]

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

[@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!

[@rosemariemello6675]

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

[@newenglandfineliving]

Thank you so much!

[@kathyropa6174]

Everything on your set today is lovely and puts me in a Spring mood. Thank you Linda.

[@602redroses]

i love putting the basket on the door, it will be so handy. The flowers are so pretty, and the bread looks yummy:)

[@neurisrivas1774]

Thanks for sharing with us. I love seen you videos, it brings like peace to my heart. Again thanks Linda. May God bless you more.

[@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)

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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. ❤

[@lauraallen9720]

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

[@gailsprangers9388]

Your home and all the creative accents are just beautiful. What a wonderful artistic mind you have.

[@newenglandfineliving]

Thank you so much!

[@lynnsalberg5647]

Watching you all day while I cook for my fall brunch tomorrow !

[@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!…😊

[@debrasaumur6592]

Your videos are the best! I loved the comment I read that said, “ I feel like I just came for a visit,”. Me too!!!!

Yay! Thank you!

[@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.🏖

[@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

[@newenglandfineliving]

Welcome aboard! I was in MA for 56 years, North Shore and Middlesex County and recently moved over the border.

[@nettylhomme472]

Hi you also can put French baguettes in it instead the roling pins 😊 I love everything you bought 👍❤️🌹

[@joanoneill381]

The wicker purchases are outstanding finds! The basket looks made for the door, but I bet it will look even bette without the cloth liner (just stick it down to the bottom). Everything you bought are great finds!

[@newenglandfineliving]

I will give that a try!

[@christinehorne1840]

Cabin fever is a real thing and I have it right now! It’s time to find some flowers for my home.

[@maryohare4141]

You could turn those beautiful curtains into swags, so it doesnt block views but gives it beautiful decor window style.

[@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. :-)

[@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!!!

[@rondatignor2300]

I can see a bouquet of antique kitchen tools in the door basket ...functional storage ..but speaks to the age of your beautiful home. I did this on a larger scale with a large antique dough bowl, each variety of tool (metal, wooden, rolling pins) in 3 antique crocks lined up inside the rectangular bowl.

[@JeannieMitchellMyers]

Thank you Linda for sharing your day with us!

[@TraditionsByTheSeasons]

Linda, I so enjoyed watching your video this morning while sipping my coffee. I love all the items you picked up. The cloche basket is a fabulous find. I like the baskets with glasses, too! The bread and stew look so yummy. What a shame about the trees. The curtain panels are lovely, as well. Thx for sharing, and have a great Sunday! Xoxo 🌷🪴🌸💕

We do not live on bread alone. You made some lovely finds!

[@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!

[@christineelderfield3680]

Just found your channel…… I love how relaxing the music is and your very calm manner. You are a breath of fresh air and can’t wait to see your home. Thanks so much I’m watching from England.👏👋💕

Welcome!

[@lyndabrown2267]

Hi Linda you did a short tour of your Mothers home a while ago it looked lovely very classy. Will you do another tour? Love your videos your taste is impeccable I don’t call it hoarding I call it recycling. Best wishes fro Britain.

I love your videos. So calming and everything is just lovely. ❤

[@debbielambkin7826]

Create a light shade if you need with wicker dome. So lovely

[@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 😂

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 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

[@redlikewineagain697]

I love bread. But not just any bread. I don't care for sliced bread. I love French bread. It's my weakness, so I don't buy it. At all. LOL Anyway....cute items!! And such an adorable kitchen in a beautiful home and property!! Love your adorable doggy! Just think....spring will be here before you know it. Everything will bloom. Sorry about your apple trees :-(( But....so much to look forward to! Such a great idea to make some wreaths. I'm in Louisiana and everything has already bloomed and gone. I have an azalea bush and it bloomed in early March and now I won't see azaleas again until 2024. So, you have so much to anticipate. Enjoy! I am new to your channel and I like what I see ♥

[@liontribeofjudah5616]

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.

[@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!
