Spring Clean, Decorate & Bake Irish Soda Bread with Me

[@CreativeDIYwithMomDas]

I feel like changing my pillows and bring more spring colors.💚💛

[@sharonsomers5513]

Very pretty spring refresh. The new pillow is very pretty.

[@MindyourMatters]

Spring is coming! Thanks for the spring cleaning and cooking 😊👍🏼

[@shirleyjackson77]

Haven’t started yet but you make me eager to get started love your channel you inspire me so much🙏👍🏼✝️

[@shereewinters1272]

i just took down the xmas tree this week lol. my little boy was diagnosed with a brain tumour 2 weeks before christmas so im abit behind and havent been feeling it i did however today for the first time in forever spend the whole day planting out a garden bed, was such a beautiful day.

[@MeHere650]

Oh no, I hope your little one gets better. Prayers to you and your family.

[@jannier9766]

Heavenly Father, we come to you and ask for healing for this little boy. We pray for guidance for medical professionals and peace and comfort this family during this difficult time. May they feel your presence with them. In Jesus name. Amen.

[@brigidkeogh416]

Hiliary i was so excited to hear you mention St Patricks Day. The bread known here in Ireland as‘Spotted Dick’ no ideas where that came from. We add the raisins before the buttermilk, and the cross right across the cake. Just love your blue rug,

[@bf4744]

Is Ireland as beautiful in real life as in the movies? I dream of visiting one day.

[@brigidkeogh416]

Ireland is very green, and rains a lot. The scenary around the Coast if spectacular on a sunny day. You will find Irish people very welcoming, especially in smaller towns and villages.

[@mildredbc5425]

Everything looks lovely!🌸Thank you for sharing!

[@erikastanger7848]

I've been waiting for a spring decorate video! I love your collected, thrifted style.

[@JustTheilogsAdventures]

Thanks for the spring cleaning inspiration. Currently I have been slowly decluttering my house tasks that only take 15 minutes or less. Soon I need to weed out three of daughters' clothes to make room for summer clothing. There's a big list so I got to start somewhere!

[@MeHere650]

Love the egg bowl decor. I do decorate for Spring as well. I have a variety of alabaster eggs of various colors in a thrifted glass bowl. My best find was a Waterford purple glass egg found at Goodwill for 50 cents.

[@MindyourMatters]

I’ve put up our outside spring wreathes and faux flowers in our planters….even tho we have large snow ❄️ banks still here in Southern Maine. It does help to decorate for it tho….😊👍🏼

[@gopugmama4408]

I always enjoy your cleaning and decorating videos. I appreciate how calm you are when cleaning, especially the randomness that littles leave behind.😁 There's nothing like refreshing a space. To welcome in Spring, I always have two bouquets of fresh flowers one on the dining room table and one on the living room end table. Nothing says Spring like fresh flowers! Your living room looks lovely! Be blessed today, Hilary!💖

[@katiethomas5889]

I love the kids table in the living room, super cute and I love the classic style!

[@darianrose2195]

Love the Spring refresh! I've put out fresh flowers in the kitchen, bought a pretty yellow throw blanket for my bed, and my grass bunnies and colorful decorative eggs have made yet another appearance. Up until a few years ago, I mostly only decorated for Christmas, but the older I get and especially now with a baby, I find myself decorating for everything from Valentine's Day to 4th of July and it's fun. I love your style, Hillary!

[@SweetAndSimpleHome]

I love the pillows-- I may end up copying you and getting some too! I love that color. The quilt is so pretty too!

[@OldWorldHome]

They’d look great in your home! Under twenty bucks too 💞

[@lindaroyal8161]

Everything about your living room is so inviting and cozy. It's just such a lovely room filled with wonderful pieces, hard to pick a favorite. I've always loved the candle sconces above the fireplace and the other brass ones are also cute. Your videos are so relaxing.

[@annw1395]

I couldn't agree more!

[@ninaprabhu627]

Loved every thing about this video Hilary! I love Irish Soda bread..will def try your recipe

[@te4545]

Love how you “cheered up” the living room. It looks lovely. Here in Canada where I live there are little signs of spring but we are expecting more snow today...sigh...so your video is a nice little pick me up from the winter blues 😊. Soda bread looks delicious. I haven’t made it in years but really enjoy it. The little hint of sweetness from the raisins is really nice. Thanks for sharing. Have a lovely day 😊.

[@vickifuller3284]

So beautiful Hillary. I’ve missed coming here. Life get so busy. Wish we could chat over a cup of coffee in that beautiful living room❤️

[@poonamjaisinghani8437]

Watching your videos is always Calming and Charming at the same time.

[@ericagoehring1089]

I make Irish soda bread and shepherd's pie every year for St.Patrick's Day, and we usually read some books on the subject in our homeschool.

[@bf4744]

I'm not Irish (that I'm aware of) but I love St. Patrick's Day and my dream is to go to Ireland one day.

[@brigidkeogh416]

That is amazing!

[@inspiringsimple]

Spring for you and Autumn for us. 💛. I sometimes daydream about throw pillows but then I think about storage and remain undecided.

[@jendyson6729]

If you just buy the covers and keep changing them out then you never have to store the pillows, that's what I do 😀

[@inspiringsimple]

@@jendyson6729 I still need to store the covers 😆. My home isn’t big (no linen) closet and I have many children so sacrifices need to be made. 😆

[@jojoply]

I do love all you did to refresh. I’ve been wanting to decorate for spring. Waiting for my house to be spring cleaned. I’m disabled but am blessed my hubby has me a cleaning lady twice a month. The end of the month she is spring cleaning. I can’t wait. Love your channel. I’ve wanted to restart making videos.

[@traciecarlson4706]

I just love the corner with the chair and little table with white flowers. It looks so cozy!

[@hillcountrycottage]

I so love the classic, traditional and timeless style of your home. (And I'm heading to Wal-Mart today for those pillows!!!) 😀💕👍

[@punkinpie27]

Your floral blouse is beautiful!!! I've never made soda bread and now I need to. That slice looked so yummy.

[@yvonnebrown1585]

I took down winter pictures…found some of my spring ones…not quite summer ones. Love to change them with the seasons. Love your new pillow covers…I also change mine. Put some green throw blankets on the chair and sofa. Artificial flowers, yes tulips, and some greenery as well.

[@debbiem6406]

I’ve added pretty plants to my porch, and my favorite carnations and floating camellias inside. Oooo that bread looks good.

[@jendyson6729]

I love the living room all freshened up. I just saw that pillow yesterday at Walmart, very pretty! I bought those tulips on your recommendation about a year ago and yes! they are so realistic. You motivated me to go ahead and start the spring decor even though we are still melting from a snowstorm, hugs from PA 😊

[@bf4744]

You have such wonderful style.

[@quorrakai]

Oh that bread looks so scrumptious!! Thrifted decor is the best decor! I love finding unique and vintage pieces for my home. Spring is here in Arizona. Temps in the 80's! 😎🌵🌴

[@cynthia6055]

All so beautiful and cozy Hilary....thanks for sharing this lovliness!

[@arlenecoury9976]

I notice you got the silhouettes of the children! Looking forward to trying the Irish Soda bread recipe! Sadly our Walmarts do not have the block print pillow available. Will keep looking.

[@lisaremy4817]

The living room refresh looks so pretty! I love all the pillows. I always look forward to your videos, I especially love the kitchen/ cooking segments. ❤️

[@d.watkins8302]

Just so beautiful🌷🌷🌷

[@ohgeezhannah]

Hi Hillary! I was wondering if you would consider making a video on life with 4 kids, how the transition was, advice, etc? I am 11 weeks with baby #4 and while we are THRILLED and so thankful for this blessing, I am also battling with anxiety that this is the point at which I'll be overwhelmed 😂 but you seem so calm! I don't know if you have enough to say on the topic to make a video, but I thought I'd ask! 😊

[@OldWorldHome]

Congratulations! What a wonderful blessing indeed 💛 I don’t really do videos about kids or parenting but I will say that you will have your hands full but so will your heart! Having a routine has always helped me with the addition of each child, not a strict schedule but a nice rhythm to the day with quiet time in the afternoon, a MUST! My kids are pretty spaced out so the transition went pretty smoothly and baby 4 just steps in line with the rest of our rhythms and routines! You got this, just take it one day at a time and reevaluate what’s not working when the time comes 😊

[@ohgeezhannah]

@@OldWorldHome thank you! 🙏❤️

[@christinedisneyqueen5746]

That Irish Soda Bread looks delicious! 😋 Your house looks so welcoming. Happy Spring! 🌸

[@marijafarkas3554]

Well, I thank you for the inspiration! I was still not sure if I should start decorating, will I even do it, but as always - you came through and gave me ideas and a push forward. ❤️

[@sames4now]

[@lindasmith5190]

As usual...I just love your style. The bread looks delicious.

[@Mommyonthegoplustwo]

Beautiful pillows. I haven’t started decorating for spring yet, tomorrow it will feel like spring for us I will then take out my spring decor. Bread looked delicious! 🍞

[@aprilyeno1919]

As always, beautiful and welcoming!❤️🙏🏻

[@cindyclark9534]

Another great video. I always look forward to your videos. I generally enjoy a cup of coffee and a sweet while watching and it's a treat for me in the afternoon. Thank you for sharing. ❤

[@OldWorldHome]

Thank you for spending your day with me 💚

[@marysimpson8457]

Your new spring pillows are absolutely gorgeous!! The addition to your couch makes the entire living room so cheerful.

[@arlenecoury9976]

Decorating for Spring, absolutely! Actually began, pretty much right after Christmas! ( due to Winter blues) Totally smitten by your window pane pillows from Target, so I ordered them. I find myself sitting on the sofa and touching the ruffles, so soothing! Also ordered the tulips you have from Amazon! They are truly realistic! Your channel has to be my FAVORITE Spring decor channel! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@donna8212]

Good morning Hilary! Your living room turned out beautiful. You always add just the right touches for each season ☺️. The soda bread looks delicious as well. For Spring, I just do a little decor and change out the pillows. Enjoy the nice weather we’re going to have today 😎.

[@staciefreeman4396]

Hi Hillary, I wanted to thank you for the inspiration from your creating a supplemental pantry in your basement. I cleaned out a space in our garage. I was then able to reorganize the cabinets in the kitchen. What a difference. So much easier to determine what we have on hand and where to restock. You gave me the push that I needed. Your living room is so inviting. We had some book shelves built by a friend so they flank both sides of our fireplace. Our own old world home spin looks great and the room looks bigger and cleaner.

[@terryruiz7417]

Room looks great! I'll have to try your soda bread recipe for St. Patrick's Day this year. Always nice to try a different recipe. Thanks!

[@DaveeKilian]

It's so amazing how much can get done in a morning isn't it! Your style is so different than mine, but you put everything together so nicely. I may have to get the pillow from Walmart:)

[@OldWorldHome]

Yes especially when Dan’s home ☺️ Such a great find, and less than $20!

[@carlenehall2979]

🤗 Looks nice Hilary, thank you for sharing! Take care.

[@caitlinrl630]

I love--love love LOVE!-- your living room! You really knocked it out of the park! It's so springy without going for the pastels. I have those same tulips. I just found some roses and cabbage roses made from the same material on Etsy and they are gorgeous too. Happy spring! Enjoy your refreshed room!

[@rebeccahenson2958]

I started spring cleaning my house last week, it's quite the job, your video wa great inspiration to keep going

[@carriebrown3355]

[@sheilapellicane8507]

Love that shirt on you Hillary! Yes, spring is on the way time for some of the outside to come in. Nature is at its best in spring and I am drinking it all up.

[@caroleprisk5068]

Haven't welcomed spring yet here. Still have high snow banks, but the temperature is supposed to climb a little this week. We probably have a good two months before we see signs of spring. I bought a bundle of live tulips for the kitchen table yesterday, but will check out some like yours.

[@annw1395]

Where do you live? Wow. I live on southern Arizona, and our spring starts in Jan-Feb. Lol. Summer heat should hit in May. 100+ degrees.

[@muffsutherland6472]

I agree that your videos are relaxing, inspiring and also put me in a good mood:)! I started following in December - loved your content BUT it was the music and graphic that you used for December that drew me in- that old world Christmas was the best - you should use it every year as your signature!!!

[@caitlinbures4802]

Hi Hilary, Please don’t take this as negative I just have a safety concern about your coach. We have baseboard heating to and a fire inspector told me that our couch needs to be away from the heater. Ours sits 15-18 inchs away. I’ve actually had Rubbermade melt because they accidentally got pushed up next to the baseboard heater. I normally don’t comment on peoples videos unless I have something nice to say (we have enough negativity) but because it’s safety I had to. I love your videos and get so much inspiration and motivation from them. 😁God Bless!

[@OldWorldHome]

We do have wood blocks as a buffer and there are feet on the couch to allow air to flow. I appreciate the kind concern 💛

[@jannier9766]

I’m going to make the Irish soda bread. Thanks for sharing the recipe and source. Your home looks lovely and thanks for keeping it real. 😊

Thanks for the spring decor inspiration! I'm planning on doing a spring makeover in our master bedroom. It's been quite awhile since it's been refreshed. Trying to stick to a budget though!

[@heatherabrewer]

It looks beautiful, as always! I found blue and white lamps on Amazon as well! I also have so many tulips from Amazon and they're great. I hang a cute vintage umbrella on my front door, tie a ribbon around it partway down and arrange the tulips inside 🙂
