Cozy Up Your WINTER Home with These Homemaking Essentials!

[@LonnaPrice-m4l]

Thank you so much for bringing all that you share with us, but especially the beauty of the Christian faith. May the Lord continue to bless you as you seek to glorify in all that you do. ❤️🙏

[@olgabombard6277]

This is what I've been doing lately. Love, love your videos! Winter is when I clean my whole house, closets, cabinet drawers, etc. Spring and summer are for outdoor activities like , cleaning the yard, gardening, and sitting on the porch listening to the birds.

[@marilyneva4677]

The earth rests and winter, especially after a typical busy Christmas season, gives us the time to rest a bit as well. I love how you add scripture to your videos. The rugs are lovely.

[@lianeabeyta4515]

I know I am one of the odd ones... but I just love the cozy winter season. Soups, hot biscuits right from the oven, fires and candles, pillows and throws and good books, with time to read them. Warm coats and gloves and scarves. Yes, please!!!! Its such a hibernating time, that , to me, nourishes my soul.

[@CatherineBrown-c3i]

I agree with you, Sarah. Winter is a good time to slow down ….do journaling, get pictures together, clean closets, and drawers. Cook some recipes and freeze a lot more. Read books and magazines… spring, summer and fall you are outside more. Make a list of spring projects that you would like to do…. Get ideas and estimation costs. Send notes to family or friends that you need to catch up with. I’ve been basically stuck in for two weeks with really icy ,snowy bad weather here in West Virginia. I have enjoyed every day at home. And of course, watching your videos.. and a cup of hot tea makes my day ❤

[@mariafusco7899]

I love that: “Being ready for things getting better.” The essence of hope! Thank you, Sarah!

[@dawn8507]

What a great reminder to appreciate every season of our lives and do what we can to improve not only our surroundings but ourselves. Love your content and delivery. Blessings to you!

[@minihomesteadcooking]

I'm from WI. It is 4 degrees today. I have been in Cancun for the last week. Thank you for helping my mindset get ready to be back in the cold. I'm a mom of a large family and caretaker for my mom with dementia. This was a needed refresh. ❤😅

[@brenwhite5775]

God bless you in this season of caregiving. You are giving a gift and you will be receiving so much more!

[@judywyse7088]

Sweet video. Thank you for taking us with you to God's word. Keep up the good work !!

[@terrizimmerman5297]

Sarah, the last few weeks I have been relishing our cooler temperatures here in the Phoenix metro, working in my yard. Planting new succulents in the landscape has added a fresh appearance everywhere. Inside, I’ve been building jigsaw puzzles on the dining room table, and downsizing my wardrobe. I’ve now lost 85 pounds and have set a goal to lose the remaining 45 pounds. A new thrift store wardrobe is in my Spring outlook.

[@reginasmith3149]

Your finished wallpaper looks amazing!

[@lucysnowe31]

I just discovered you at Christmas and fell in love with your channel so much that I signed up for your design binder workshop as fast as I could. Can't wait! I love your aesthetic, your gentle nature, and your faith in Jesus too. Excited for the workshop!

[@CaraSammons]

Another wonderful white flower to consider is gomphrena, it's very easy and whimsical.

[@CaminoProvisions]

Wonderful reminders about the "quieter" season of winter. I have found myself "editing" in all areas of my life. When I edit, organize, and style (as we are learning in Behind the Scenes) it makes room for new possibilities and ideas. Thanks, Sarah. ~Helen VW

[@heatherannekennedy9368]

This season of waiting on the Lord is so hard for our family - I'm reminded of Isa. 40:31 “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Praying that we will wait with hope in the Lord, trusting that He will bring us through. Waiting for spring is challenging too for this gardener! Have you tried winter sowing - also known as the milk jug method? I've used it three years now and my goodness - the plants are so robust and hardy - it's a great way to economically add to your garden. Pretty hands off too - which is super helpful! I'm also giving the soil snail seed starting method a try this year ... I'm actually growing for an August wedding for a sweet young couple from church and so excited to add so any pretty flowers to my gardens for that occasion.

[@deborahhopkins7763]

As always I enjoyed this video so much. Everything looks so beautiful yet is very cozy and comfortable.

[@UpstateGrammy]

I have been reframing my thoughts about winter. I call it "cozy time" and, like you, I am working on indoor projects like painting a room and mending a tablecloth. Spring brings lovely weather, but it also is one of the busiest times of year for gardeners, so I will enjoy the rest.🦋🦋🦋

[@RhondaLeach]

...how I needed to be reminded of this...Maine is very dark and cold in this season...

[@Laura-rx9mp]

Thank you. I enjoy all four seasons. Winter is the time where I rest and plan for the year ahead. Actually, my year starts in April lol. Winter, time to enjoy the coziness of my hearth and home. It is a good break !! ha Cheers

[@susanmatuschek2948]

Thanks for all the kind words and thoughts in this season. ❤

[@bluesky7226]

I appreciate winter for all the things you said, Sarah. It is a time to slow down and replenish after the busy season. A time to regroup and reflect. Thank you for reminding everyone of winter's beauty. ❤

[@terifawcett]

That picture frame looks amazing! Great idea!😁

[@brendawagner6590]

Love the blue and white rug. Makes room look cozier 💗. Also, just adding that extra wallpaper made a world of difference between the trim.

[@jennynicole6334]

I love everything about this video. It feels good knowing I’m not the only one who struggles with dirty rugs, and “areas of tension” around my home. God created the seasons with purpose and I’ve been thinking a lot lately about winter’s purpose for us.

[@j.d.7569]

Love the Bible application and I just needed to add if things in your life are going well, now is the time to start building your faith for the storms….that unfortunately will come. ❤

[@cathyoneill9011]

Smoked paprika for the win! I use it in my homemade meatballs with beef and pork as well as many other things.

[@Chasingsimplehome]

So excited to see more of your gardening adventure!

[@amy8170]

Taking care of details while waiting on the Lord. A perfectly timed reminder 😊 Ty

[@anitabarker3125]

Enjoyed this video ,I try to finish projects in the winter and organize,donate to thrift stores stuff no longer needed. God bless, oh love the rugs.😊

[@melissatumbach7438]

If you are going to start plants from seed in the house try setting up a small oscillating fan in the same room. Aimed at the plants on a low setting. It will get them used to wind and will make them stronger and more resilient when you actually do put them outside. Does not need to be on constantly. Maybe an hour a day? Keep in mind there may need water a little more frequently. Can't wait to see your beautiful garden in bloom. : )

[@goyaencasa]

Hi! Love the calmness of your home and videos! Love love love! Also I would like to know where is your jumpsuit from? I’ve been looking for one for months if is not for years with no luck at all because every time I buy it I do not like the style or the fabric etc etc. so please if you can share I will greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

[@TammyHawkins-qd2mf]

The rug is perfect ~ so pretty

[@sharongruener6078]

I appreciate your thoughts on winter. God bless you.

[@nenadominguez4359]

Your house is beautiful!👌🏻❤️🫐🤍 Thank you for words of wisdom you share with us!!!👌🏻❤️🙏🏻🤗❤

[@kathykirk1877]

Love that rugable rug!!!

[@michellem434]

Good morning! I love your puppy ! The rugs are so pretty.

[@MsSuz67]

Lovely video❤ I have the same blue rug and I love it! Put it in my foyer a year ago, and it still looks fantastic.

[@carolynlunel9382]

Sarah, this is a wonderful video in all ways!❤ I just really wanted to say thank you for what you said at the end. I needed that today❤ ❤

[@allenbeachy3511]

The Gardener's Workshop is a great resource for starting seeds! Thanks for sharing your home with us ❤ Anne

[@lynnehuffman2932]

Your content is always inspiring. I signed up for your behind the scenes course, but had to cancel due to some unexpected financial issues in my family. One day…... I just wanted to encourage you to keep sharing The Word….it truly is a lamp into our feet. Be blessed, Sarah

[@brendabowers2320]

I agree and also practice it! ❤

[@TammyHawkins-qd2mf]

Oh my goodness, you are going to love the smoked paprika ~ it’s great on pork! 😌

[@PineconeCottageRetreat]

Sarah, did you like the tea? Thanks for the reminder to enjoy the winter season in all its slowness.

[@flowerpower3618]

I’m thinking the cold season winter advise can be applied when one is older and less able to get around, or housebound for other reasons . Even in the too hot miserable summer.

[@allenbeachy3511]

Thanks for your ending comments! I too am a child of God. Thanks 😊

[@glendashine9468]

The rug probably needs a thinner pad because of the rug already underneath it. I would absolutely love to have your coffee table. I have looked and looked and finally gave up. I assume it is thrifted or from a local antique store? What a brilliant idea using the liquid nails! Thank you for the doubling up idea. I appreciate more than you can know how much your sharing Biblical thought means to me. Today’s verse and how you explained it was exactly what I needed in my life right now. Praise God!

[@albayer-b2s]

You may already know this, but Vita Sackville-West had a white flower garden and you may take some inspiration from images of that garden. A neighbor had grown a 'Vita" garden and it was lovely; sadly she moved away and the new neighbors let it go. Looking forward to seeing your garden bloom and grow!

[@debrablack5173]

Sarah, I think you are so clever. I enjoyed this video because I saw things that I could do myself. Putting two frames together is just the sort of thing I would do. Why not? I live on my own(with Frida, the most beautiful cat in the world) and there are plenty of things in my place that you shouldn't look too closely at. I call it decorating with smoke and mirrors! Several things would probably not survive in a family home though.

[@rachelm9925]

The original to that painting is in V&A london, I have forgotten wheat it is called my parents had a print of it on their wall when I was growing up ❤

[@cathyhatfield5340]

I love that rug! Maybe someday I can afford a rugable 😗❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@whatlolawants2167]

I love and English garden.❤

[@larrykelley8890]

No, this pic isn't me....gotta get rid of hubby's... it can be a winter project to change pictures!!!! Sarah, thanks for mentioning our ancestors and what they did during the Winter season. My farm wife grandmothers made quilts and crocheted. I broke my ankle in Oct. followed by surgery and 6 weeks of not being able to put any weight on it, so we have had a different kind of Thanksgiving and Christmas. My winter project is to read and pass on to others about 40 books that need to come off my bookcases and find a new home. I may be walking normally with no aids by March; in the meantime, I clean out drawers and read in a wheelchair. My mind needs to feel that I'm accomplishing something!!!! Happy Winter!!!!

[@leslieW5177]

Potager you said it perfectly (French dialect). I have heard an Irish lady say ‘poo.tag.er’. As with so many words, it’s your location 😉 never wrong 😊❤️🙏

[@phyllisshand6183]

Great decision with the wallpaper - I wasn’t sure about this decision until seeing the end result. The picture frame looks wonderful (our secret - I won’t tell anyone).

[@CorinneE-vv9zx]

Hi Sarah, Had to laugh! I, too, have that picture and another- it’s by John Constable- that I thrifted last year. I have them both incorporated into my gallery wall. Love them! I also have three prints from The Pinetum Britannicum- all thrifted. Love the look from this time period. Did you say that you bought your jute rug from Ruggable too? I have a rug in my living room that I love, but it’s just a tad too small- wanted to add a jute underlay too. Anyhoo, I agree about times when you feel closer to God than others. I call it the ebb and flow…..Have a great weekend!

[@debraruiz9133]

Very inspiring😊😊

[@meganblasco2]

💛sweet video with such wise words

[@Kholte]

Beautiful thoughts about the people who came before us. They followed the seasons so much more than we do now. Modern conveniences gave us the option to get away from the realities of what's going on in nature, but if you grew your own food and didn't have central heating and air conditioning, you'd be forced to follow the rhythms of nature. God knew what He was doing when He designed a rest season.

[@saramartinez103]

Hello Sarah I heard you said at your house you prefer sugar free, gluten free and high protein. Is that how you keep your weight, that is something I admire in you, how fit and skinny you always look, it definitely makes you look younger. Would you be interested in doing a video on your healthy habits to stay in shape. I'm very curious ❤😂🙈 I'm mom of two, and the extra weight has linger for the past six years 😢 Thank you so much for the inspiration 🎉🎉

[@dorisdaylight8415]

Could you please tell me the details of the carpet velcro pad and where it is from? I am not having any luck finding anything similar online and I have never seen it this big before as one carpet sized sheet. I would really appreciate it. Love your videos. Thank you

[@marydumois4242]

No winter in Florida….thanks be to GOD

[@jodiemaxwell1029]

Northern Florida is expected to get 3” of snow this week! If you live in that area, be safe.

[@katkat521]

Is your dog a Rodesian Ridgeback? I had one with my ex and he was a very kind, gentle dog.

[@tuhesse]

Gorilla hot glue is the bomb. Try it for adhering things together.

[@ninajohnson6578]

I have the binder. Can I take the class? Thank you ❤

[@desanders12]

What size is your rubble rug and does it fit in your washer? Have you washed it?

[@tuhesse]

Love the pattern on your rugs, but I’m not a fan of the texture of rugables per se. wish I could find that same pattern in a thicker textured rug.

[@dawndawn6946]

Good morning! Where do we order the binder, please?
