Summer Porch Refresh || Antique Front Door Renovation || Cottage Core Planter Ideas

Ok, I’ve watched the empty home tour and heard you mention several times you would pan out for a more full view. You stated that you were in a state of moving into the home. Curious, you’ve been there two years. My first question is, have things not made them into your desired locations? Second end, how do you function in a constant state of upgrade projects? I adore your work but get the feeling I’m looking through the window . I’ve gotten familiar with the transparency of other channels. We none have that photo ready home! If one does it usually means no one lives in said house! Just curious, don’t be offended, that is not my intent!

[@TheLittleBlueFly]

Great questions, Sheila❤️! We have been in our wonderful cottage for almost 1 year this July! We welcome living in a state of pure chaos as we bring our magical cottage to life. We have many pieces moving and are thankful we have the health to move them. I think we all have been looking through the window with you. My cottage is going to be creatively brought to life room by room. Pure art comes from the heart and pure love comes naturally! No rush to have the picture perfect. But, always ready for the next adventure😊! May your evening overflow with kindness and love! 🌷😘🌷

I live in a home that stays nice and everything in place.. I keep my yard manicured myself and flowers and gardens on pretty much every square inch. I have white furniture and grandchildren that come and we play games they throw pillows on the floor, markers out and crayons, we eat in the living room, kitchen and dining room.. my home looks like an elephant ran threw it.. then when everyone leaves.. I clean it up, right back to picture perfect. It can be done and you can have it and it is lived in, it just takes work to keep it in tack. It’s irritating when someone thinks because your home is cleaned and everything looks nice and in place that it isn’t lived in, or that the homeowner doesn’t want anyone to mess anything up.. nope not the case... it’s a home.. a clean home that is put together .. 😉 Instagram shows my home.. @mkrinspired1

Your green wreath on that black is stunning. The door turned out so wonderful. I would like to try that paint or primer if I can afford it. It is amazing. Thank you for your videos and I have decided there is nothing you can't do!

The door came out amazing. I love the porch and your plants look beautiful. Our projects always end up being more than we expect and image sometimes. I'm glad you persevered and kept the original door.Just FYI. Makenzie-Childs isn't a she. It was founded by a couple, Victoria and Richard Mackenzie-Childs who sold the company after it filed bankruptcy. It has changed hands several times since then. Interestingly, Pleasant Rowland, founder of American Girl owned it for a bit. You are such a fan of the company and refer to it in many of your videos, I thought you might want to know. I always imagined that the original designs were painted for a daughter's room but I'm not sure that the couple had children. Victoria is quite eccentric and creative. There are images of their home from back in the day. Since they sold off the company and design concept, I wonder if Victoria and Richard do anything similar now.

Doing your own work saves so much money I love the changes to the door. I remember saying to myself black would look great for the door. My door was a pretty red berry color I changed it to black as well and took my storm glass door off we have a cover porch so no need for it. Then painted my shutters black . Love your videos I tell you this all the time.

Plus you give so many wonderful tips. Sorry...I don't want to be a negative nellie, but I do wish the music would not be playing. Love seeing all the redoing in your cottage and thanks for the videos!

[@CharlotteFairchild]

I watch your videos on my large screen smart television so I never comment to speak of. I like that you teach and how you teach. So many people are not behind the camera like you, and it is wonderful. I like your videos. Sometimes my hearing is better than other days. Music doesn't make it better. The closed captioning really helps because I am older. The most common handicap is hearing.

[@TheLittleBlueFly]

Thank you for stopping in and leaving a comment❤️! Closed Captioning is a wonderful feature for many! I myself use them when watching programs. Since I was a little girl I have always had quite ears😊. Like you, some days are better than others. Because of my impairment I have learned to make my inner circle very colorful with absence of fussy distractions. May your weekend be filled with the sounds of birds! 🌷😘🌷

Everything turned out just beautiful. I know what you mean about trial and air we moved to Marietta California three years ago from orange county down by the beach so what we could grow in our landscape there was definitely not what we could grow here where it gets to be about 28° at night time in the winter and about 120 during the day in the summer so with that being said we have been here three years finally this is my second attempt at all a new landscape but I think I got it right this time I went down to our local nursery and had the owner there give such good advice he was just wonderful so much knowledge.I have more of a Tuscan theme in my landscape which is pretty much what my whole homestyle is but I have gotten some wonderful ideas from you and thank you for sharing.. and now getting to our front door mostly everybody out here has metal front doors again because of the weather the wood would not last as long in this type of weather so that was a big chunk because we had our door custom made.Thank goodness my husband owns a architectural hardware company so I had him design all my hardware for me which finally was just put in a month ago which I was so excited it’s just beautiful we’re still waiting on our door and window because I just can’t do anything easy you know how that goes so I have another month to wait for my front door. May you have a very blessed day.

[@TheLittleBlueFly]
