This kid is a mess! We're going to do our best to get her room put back together, and get this place looking cute!
I truly appreciate the fact that you don’t expect your 5 year old to keep her room totally picked up. She is learning so much from you Kristen. The fact that you go in and give it a mom refresh every so often and are training her to care for her room and things in it is absolutely priceless. You are instilling lifetime values and goals into your girls and it really blesses this grandmothers heart to see that. Keep up the fantastic nurturing that you are doing. Bless you my sweet friend! “Train up a child in the way SHE, should go, and when SHE is old, SHE will not depart from it! Proverbs 22:6. (Of course I changed the word he to SHE for emphasis.).
Ruby’s room looks like a old fashion child’s bedroom. Love the furniture and the look of her room.
Love Ruby and her refreshed room! I can relate to Ruby. I was the middle daughter and very messy. Now that I am a 68 yo granny, I look back and realize that I was always a creative type. I’m still messy, but also still creative, always have several fun projects going.
Some tips I have learned:
Make cleaning and tidying fun. A cute container for her dirty clothes, or make up a story, ie. she lives in the ancient woods and has to put up her clothes so the wolves will stay away.
Use some of her artwork, framed, to encourage pride in her art and room decor
My sister and I used to take pictures of our cleaned room, our little vignettes of our pink poodle collection, our favorite book stacks, our stuffed animals on the bed. I love finding those old b&w pics in my photo box!
A ‘blitz’ cleaning before doing something fun on Saturday. Play a < 3 minute upbeat song and she has to get everything done before the song ends.
I found with my kids and niece and nephew that if you make anything fun, it’s just easier to get kids to do it.
BTW, I think you are a wonderful mother. Your 3 daughters have stolen my heart!
These are all such great ideas. Thank you so much, Martha!
It’s a blessing that the kids have their playroom up in the attic. That sure cuts down on the clutter.
Ruby’s room is so sweet! I actually really, really like the oval framed print of the Victorian young woman. Pink sheets would also be very pretty in her room. I like that you put her fuzzy blanket in the corner chair. By the way, do Rosie and Ruby have a laundry basket in their rooms where they can toss dirty clothes? Maybe that would help with Ruby’s clothing mess on the floor. You could put a pretty thrifted wicker basket in each of their rooms to hold dirty laundry - either in their closet or in a corner. Just a thought. Thanks for sharing. Blessings!❤
Kristen you have created a lovely bedroom for your daughter. The Brooklinen sheets and comforter look so cozy!! Speaking of cleaning a child's room; we were just in Omaha and helped our 11 yr old grandson clean his room. I think it was too overwhelming for him and so my husband taught him how to break down the mess into piles, etc. and move forward. We told him the saying, "inch by inch is a cinch, yard by yard is hard". We wanted him to learn that doing a little bit at a time is more manageable then trying to get it all done at once is hard. Our grandson was SO proud of his room and thanked his Papa several times for helping him. Now let's see how long it will last!! Your home is so beautiful and warm. Blessings to you and your family!!
Love this sweet little girl's room. How blessed is Ruby to have you as a mom.
Kristen, your home in general is just so lovely and inviting. Something that may help and get Ruby motivated about picking up after hersel, could be a really cute large open canvas hamper. Make it a fun game for Ruby by telling her to roll up her clothes, and try and toss them in the hamper. You can let points add up, and she can redeem her points for money that she can buy herself something with at the thrift store, or a dollar store. It worked like magic with one of my friend's young daughter😊
Fantastic idea. Love the reward system. Great life lesson.
What a difference raising the curtain rod up higher , the furniture is so pretty . That new bedding is such a luxury for Ruby , she’s going to love it . Have a great day .
Ruby, you’re so cute and your room is lovely too.🩷
I love visiting with you. I love blue anything and dishes!lol. I turned into my mother. I have 7 sets if dishes, but in my defense, I used to have dinner parties for our business 2-3 times a month. Im 74 and retired so dont do that anymore but I still love my dishes. I do use them whenever my family comes iver. Even the smallest grandchild eats on real dishes and goblets. If something breaks, and it never has, its just a dish. My older grandchildren say that is a precious memory for them. Now arent you sorry you asked us to tell you something about ourselves?lol❤
MOM'S touch made the room look GREAT!!
I am not a DIY girl, with Hardware either.
I always have my Husband do that kind of work. He’s a Perfectionist too, which I LOVE!!!
Ruby’s room looks so FRESH & COZY!!!
I bet she LOVES it!!!
Thank you for sharing!!!❤😊
I think the curtain change is perfect. As far as the clothes on the floor and an unmade bed......these are life skills Ruby should be accountable for now. She is not too young to pick up after herself and make her bed. We had 3 girls in my house growing up. My father was the one who said... your mother is not responsible to clean your rooms. So it was a chore we were expected to do everyday. In return.... we got a beautiful home, clean clothes, a warm meal, and a place of peace to grow in, and a sense of personal responsibility. Something that not only benefits her, but you as well.
I adore the simplicity in a childs room! I think it allows the space to breathe and prosper individuality as they grow and become their own person. It is so much easier to add or take away wall art or change linens. Versus revamping the room with themes/ designs as the child grows out of, let's say, certain toys, a wall color, etc.
It still stays true to the overall aesthetic of the house 😊
What a beautiful girl's bedroom!!! I love how you decorate!!! I'm 62 and became fascinated by power tools after I retired 5 years ago. Now I ask for power tools for my birthday, anniversary and Christmas. You just have to get over the initial fear and trust in yourself. Plus watching You Tube "How to" videos really helps.
Hi
How are you ?❤
Her bedroom is adorable. 💛💛💛💛💛💛
Hi
How are you ?
It looks gorgeous sweetie 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙋🏻♀️❤️🤗 I love it I love the furniture in that room too
How are you ?❤
I love Ruby’s room! It’s simple and so pretty! You’ve done a great job (even before this redo!)!
Hi
How are you ?
Looks great! I like the oval pic of the lady you hung up along with the floral patchwork side of the garage sale quilt. Would a basket help and some hooks for your daughter's room?
I feel like I'm peeking into a room Anne of Green Gables (my favorite books even as an adult) might have slept in. I feels a little magical like stepping back into time. Lovely!
Hi Kristin. I love the first two prints and loved the bunny, but the frame online on the other is worth something and actually found it interesting. Her room looks so pretty. I am older and sometimes our bedroom gets messy. I am not a neat freak and never will be when it comes to the rest of the house I am better. The bedding looks so comfy. I don’t know anything about power tools but would love to learn. Kristen, I went to our Goodwill. My husband runs hot and he wanted old fashioned thin Cotten tee shirts. They had one but it would have been down to his knees..oh no they had another North Face..completely worn out and wanted 10.99. Crazy.
Kristen , I got a comment saying I won something from you..think someone is messing with your channel. Love seeing you all. Girls are precious.
Such a sweet little girls room!!!! I love the new bedding and art!!!❤❤❤
Hi
How are you ?❤
Her room looks simple but charming. i love it! ❤
What a charming room. I just love the girls antique furniture.
Kristen, I love Ruby’s furniture! The prints are so sweet! And of course the bedding is beautiful! Curtains are perfect too. Good job MomMa!
Looks beautiful! If the Lord blesses us with a daughter someday I pray she can have a sweet room like Ruby’s ❤
Hi
How are you ?❤
I love how you incorporate older items, they look so beautiful. The curtains look so good too 👌
Hi
How are you ?❤
I love the furniture in Ruby’s room.
Hi
How are you ?
Everything looks beautiful.😊💕 I also really like Ruby's furniture. I bought myself a vintage desk that I use to put my makeup in. 💕
Ruby's room looks so lovely Kristen. I could just get into that bed and snuggle up. I wish Brooklyn Bedding was in Australia.
Hi
How are you ?
What a sweet room. Love the vintage or antique furniture.
Hi
How are you ?❤
What a cute little room. The bedding looks luscious.
I am the same way with power tools😂 what a sweet little room!
How are you ?❤
Beautiful! So peaceful.☺️
How are you ?❤
I was watching you talk, thinking; ‘this woman has such a beautiful unique face’
You look lovely always but your hair up showcases your features so much. ❤
Wow, thank you!
Simple changes and a clean up made a difference. Ruby’s room looks adorable and cozy! 💗
Very pretty Kristen! I think it's wonderful that your kids put their own laundry away and have learned life skill's.
What a fabulous transformation Kristen and it was all things you had already (with the exception of the gorgeous bedding). Great job!
Eventhough this is my aesthetic, I love the way you decorate your house.
Good job Kristen, that bedroom is adorable, thanks to mommy
Thank you! 🤗
What a nice surprise to see you had a video up on a Wednesday. I love what you’ve done to Ruby’s room. It’s adorable and even if she doesn’t seem to appreciate it she’ll look back on this & know that mama was providing the hwe a sweet adorable room!
Hi
How are you ?❤
Those prints are so adorable! Love the furniture in Ruby’s room!
Hi
How are you ?❤
Does she have a hamper in her room? Maybe if you teach her that a clean represents who she is and you help her each day for awhile she will learn how it feels to be neat and tidy. It feels good Ruby❤️❤️❤️😍
That bedding looks so comfy!
Wallpaper makes great drawer liners. You can often find it thrifting
I have that same picture in the middle above her bed! I love it❣️
Her room turned out so pretty and girlie! Thanks for all you do 🦋🦋
Thank you so much, Shannon!
It's a really sweet room. It's my dream to be able to afford new bedding.. sigh.. not in the budget .. looks so cozy and perfect for sweet slumber... 💤😴.. I love that $2.00 print.. it absolutely does remind me also if little women as another subscriber mentioned! Great room refresh!!
Looks great!! Liked your making the curtains hang higher too.
Hi
How are you ?❤
Your shirt is awesome 😮😊
Also you look so cute in this video Kristen you always look so nice and classy but I love your hair that way
Love her pony!!
Very pretty! The bedding looks lovely!
I feel like this comment might be controversial, but I think that if our pillows/linens/quilts aren’t good enough for us or our family members, then they should not be considered good enough for our guests. I realize when family and friends come to our homes that they are not expecting to stay in a five star hotel, having said that though I have stayed at many a person’s home with what clearly are the reject linens, be they bed or bath. I strongly feel, as a part of my overall interior design, for guests to truly enjoy my home that they should be treated as treasured guests. To me that means, nicer sheets, newer towels, and extra toiletries placed in the bathroom should they forget anything. Bottled water, or a water carafe with glasses placed in the room is a nice touch as well. There is an extra pair of reading glasses available in the room and of course, all garbage cans are empty. Partial toilet paper rolls are replaced so that they are full. And extra toilet paper is readily available. These are the things that I have learned from staying at other peoples homes over the years. Definitely no criticism intended whatsoever just my somewhat bougie thoughts on the matter. Love your RUclips channel.❤
Kristen, the antique furniture in Ruby’s room is magnificent. Also, I really love the oval picture you found for $2.00. I would have loved that bedroom as a little girl. She is truly blessed!
Ruby's room looks so pretty! I like the antique furniture. The pink curtains are pretty. I really like the picture in the oval frame, and the other ones, too. Maybe after the refresh, she will be encouraged to keep it better.
I love your classic style! So perfect and sweet ❤
What a sweet little bedroom 💕
Loved the video - your home is so beautiful and charming (and I secretly wish I could move in!) I must be the only person on the planet that HATES the look of drapes hung up close to the ceiling!! 😩 IMO they look so weird and I think they look better closer to the window frames… guess that’s why I don’t have drapes in my home… lol. 💗
Beautiful room for a teenager or adult.
The new linens are so, so pretty! I love the $2 print in the oval frame. Raising the drapes made a big difference.😊🩷
SO COOL! Sweet Mom
I love how Ruby’s room turned out. It is so beautiful ❤
What a sweet room!! I love it!!!
So cute! It turned out great!!
You could find a vintage print online for free and replace the print in the oval frame.
So sweet. It looks greaft
Beautiful! Love the pink quilt you purchased at the bins💕
It looks charming. I like the $2 picture. The one thing I’ve learned is never go in for a deep clean in your kid’s room on a Friday. By Monday it will look as if you were never there.
So sweet.
Hi❤
How are you ?
Yup a mamas touch ❤
So cute Kristen! It just needed a Mother’s touch!💖
I love that oval picture you put behind the door. It reminds me of “Little Women”.
It makes me feel slightly better that you also deal with the cold windows 😅 our house is from 1890 and we still have 12 original windows. 3 we’re going to keep because they’re in good shape but the others we’re replacing asap (a few have cracks). Hopefully the new windows are better!
I think she said the new windows weren’t any better.( as she was pulling the towels out)😟
HAPPY WEDNESDAY Kristen, family, and fur babY. How precious her room looks. STTB
Home design may not be her first interest, but when given a room that reflects her interests, you're making it easier for her to keep her room organized and tidy. I'm sure she appreciates the care and thought you gave to her room.
Lovely! Where do you keep the toys if not in their bedrooms? Would love to see a “toy” video and get your wonderful perspective on this!
Looks great
EVERYTHING looks great!! You did a great job decorating!! Such a sweet little girl's room!!
I was at a flea market yesterday with a friend and we started talking about who we watch on RUclips. I told her about Hilary OWH and she told me about you. I told her I discovered you from Hilary. She checked out Hilary and loved her.
Hi❤
How are you ?
Ruby is a lucky girl, beautiful room!
Ruby’s room is so sweet and yes always at addy bear on the bed I’m 58 yrs old and I have an old teddy on my bed 😊💕💕💕👋🇨🇦
I meant to say teddy bear not addy bear sorry 😅
I love her room! So fresh and pretty!
It turned out really sweet.
I love the tshirt you have on did you make it? or if you got it somewhere can you post the link? Thank you! I love your videos. I'm an avid thrifter and we just sold our first home and bought our forever home that is twice the size so thrifting all our furniture and decor will be much needed and watching your videos excites me on all the goodies I can find!
I looked up the picture you put up, the one with the lady wearing the yellow dress. It is 1 of 3 and all three are on Google lens for $200
Beautiful little girl’s room!
I love the oval girl pic!! The curtains look great! I use to go in to my sons room for tlc too.
Hi Kristen. Ruby's room looks beautiful😊
So pretty & I live the vintage look ❤🎉
What a difference! I love your T-shirt! Where did you get it?
Charming room and I love the oval picture. Ruby will have sweet dreams in that bed ☺️
Muy linda habitación....
I like your antiwue furniture ♥
Beautiful ❤
Awesome job momma, her room just looks darling! And I have to ask where did you get your ironstone t-shirt, I just love it
Ruby's room is cuter than mine and I'm a retired grandmother. ❤
Thank you for sharing. Love it all. ❤
I love this❤❤❤
Sweet room! Love the oval framed lady.
Thank you so much, Kathleen!
