I'm glad he was honest with you and told you on the first date. The reason he let you take control of the date is the same reason he wants open relationships. He does not want any responsibility. He wants to sit back and do as he pleases with no consequences. That's fine - it's his life. Glad you know yourself and know that that would not work for you. Big Hugs
i had a friend years ago, a older lady neighbor who use to tell me when we discussed my dates ,she always said go 1st class.......... never settle for less..................Hugs.
I actually appreciate people like your date. They didn't waste your time by lying about what they wanted from a relationship just for their own gratification. If it isn't right it's super nice to know before investing a lot of time and energy into it and getting hurt. Kudos to him.
Hello Elise. Just want to say I love watching your videos and to ask if you have thought about moving your large mirror on the wall where your green hutch was. It would reflect the window across the room and would help to add light.
Elise your videos are always good. I’m sorry you’re feeling poorly and pray you feel better soon. Don’t rush into doing anything and allow your body to heal. I love those green dishes you took out of your cabinet. As for your paint color on your table you will pick the right one. These colors pick up some of the colors in the pictures you have against the wall. A skylight will bring nice light into the room. Good on you sticking to your ideal. Relationships are a very personal thing and open ones are not for everybody. As you get older a person wants more in life, a partner that has the same needs as you will come into your life at the right time. Be true to yourself always. Be well and see your next post soon. ❤❤❤
Hey Elise. Just a little FYI when painting...... always put a white primer or white base coat. The wood is as if you are painting over a tan or brown, which changes the true color of what you have chosen. That is why it dried darker. So proud of you and all you have accomplished through all the trials and hardships. Be Blessed!
I would absolutely keep the wood on the dining table, I feel like once you have the skylights it will look so classic and give you a needed masculine touch in your house! Everything in balance ⚖️
I have a dark wood dining set right next to a picture window, so I can appreciate your comment. It wouldn't hurt to wait, but I know that Elise can come up with some really creative options, although I don't agree with every choice she has made. It's always enjoyable to see how it all ends up.
I know it's her house and she don't care about my oppinion. However she keeps changing her mind of what she wants. She buys furnitures and paints them then 6 monthes later she has a different idea and sells them. Now she bought a table she wants to paint and put in a skylight. I think with prober lighting the dinningroom would be fine without a skylight. It won't add any value to the house if she wants to sell it.
Hi Elise, I was 16(ish) when i started the following you because of your dreadlocks. When I was that age I couldn’t understand how you struggled with life and feeling down somedays. Now I’m turning 21 and I understand you very well. You were my comfort person and now I feel more closer to you. Love you 💛
I’m so glad you opted to leave the relationship. Sounds like someone to stay away from. You are worth more than that. Hold your head up high. You’re a beautiful person and worth so much more than that. I’m so proud of you.
Meeting a person for real is probably better than texting and texting. It is easier to size up a situation and make a decision. Be well quickly, Elise!
If there's anything my friends and I have learned the hard way in dating, it is that men that don't make the effort initially(plan the date, insist on paying, open doors, etc) are ones that will stay that way and make you suffer in a relationship. They are "below bare minimum effort men" and seek women who will do most of the work and won't ever appreciate these women.
Why is the man obligated to pay? Why is the man obligated to plan the date? Why should he invest in the woman when she doesn't put any effort in beyond showing up? Why do women automatically expect to be treated like they're made of gold and don't do anything in return?
I think you should perhaps wait until your sky lights are in before deciding on a colour. I actually like the wood as is and maybe a runner or table cloth in a similar colour could serve as a temporary solution to see if you can live with it xx
At 58 I have been on quite a lot of dates. Some good, some bad. I see each as a learning experience, which you seem to have done as well. It is a positive action on your part to have a drink and listen to someone, and learn about different ways of life, without judgement-knowing the spark was not there! Bravo!
Always enjoy your videos. It amazes me how clean you paint. I make a complete mess. I could not imagine laying a piece of plastic over my cream rug and painting on it. My rug would be destroyed. As always, love your style and creativity.
love the second purple colour! for your table, and maybe someone more mature to date with your old soul, not too much older of an fella, but maybe someone with a different background, and not so artsy so to enjoy from a friendship point of view first, and maybe more established, to do things with, like dinner, traveling, and shopping together, having a home as well, like you in doing things together❤the table would look perfect in a white shabby chic, maybe two toned as well.
I also live in a very cold climate (Minnesota). I do not understand constantly bemoaning the dark days. I prefer spring and summer but there is beauty in all seasons. Maybe it is our age differences, or stages of life, but I choose to be happy in my here and now. Your home will be fun to watch evolve. ❤
The big picture of tulips in the gold frame has some great colours for your sitting room. Your sofa has some reddish undertones in it, that's why the redder sample works better than the purplish one. Try looking at the rusty red side of burgundy. A soft white like your fireplace used as a contrast design on top would soften the expanse. Perhaps different sized lacy stencils randomly placed. You could copy or reverse the colours on a sideboard. Artist with adhd here. Forgive the stream of ideas. You know what works for you.❤
Hello Elise! I enjoy your videos, no matter what you want to share with us! I have to say that I agree 100% with you about what are you looking in a relationship! If that was your first impression with your date, imagine what is going to happen later! There is no point of dating someone that is not serious, wasting your time and energy! I wish you to feel better, allow yourself time to rest and heal! Love to you 💖 from a grandma!
Hi Elise, the beginning clip of your house and yard was amazing!! I can't get over all the things you do, you paint like a pro!!! and as always your fashion is flawless!
Always good to see you, Elise. Hope your cold is of short duration. One thing to be thankful for is the guy being that honest. Most guys, in my experience, who live like that try to string you along as long as possible.
I agree if you like a take charge guy let him see it immediately ,don’t try to prove your independence,they will see it in the relationship and never talk about a past relationships on a 1st date no , your learning about each other not the past ,your dating lessons are for you to grow not tell a new person , you can share what you learned not bore a person with details about it they will feel your comparing them and that isn’t a good start , just shine smile a lot ! be your true self if they are compatible it will happen organically . Dates are not a resume or job interview just talk about fun & things your excited about & enjoy your selves .
Sick in bed, candle going, hot herb tea, feeling dreary in January is for the birds. But then your video popped up, and I must say, my day just got a little brighter! Love both the colors you chose, didn’t think I would, but you always surprise me with your choices. Loved this video, we love just hearing from you, and no expectations from your subscribers. 🌞🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
Hi Elise! I've been a long time subscriber now. I want to thank you for being you, because you've inspired me and made me hopeful of a future I can strive toward. I've been attempting to have my own living space for years, and seeing you have the freedom to create and bend your environment to suit who you are as a person is inspiring. Now I have that for myself as well. Hope you're having a good day!!
Elise, I also would suggest a primer first to neutralize the dark wood. I would also suggest that you might want to wait until the skylight is in since you mentioned the difference of tones closer or further from the window light. Also have you considered how the color will look with the wood of your chairs? I can definitely sense your excitement for redecorating so be sure to think out your long term goals. Have fun and thanks for sharing your journey.
Stuck in bed with covid, your video made my day. Thank you, Elise. I like the more reddish colour for your table, but you know, what you are doing, I am sure. As for your cold: Hope you get better soon!
Loving your color choices. Can’t wait to see what you pick. I love your style so know whatever it is, it will look amazing. Sorry your date didn’t go the way you would have liked. I think it’s good that you know yourself and won’t pursue a second date with someone who doesn’t share your values. Please don’t apologize for a video not being interesting. I show up for you, which I’m sure is the same for most of your followers. I think it’s a testimony to your strength and character that you show up at all when you’re sick. Take care and I hope you’re feeling better soon.💐
Having a man who makes you feel comfortable enough to be in your feminine energy is sooooooo nice. I previously dated so many men where I had to be very much in my masculine, and it was exhausting. My current boyfriend, and the man that I plan on marrying, make me feel so comfortable and safe. It feels wonderful to embrace my feminine energy fully and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I totally understand what you are looking for.
Him letting or forcing you to take charge and even the open relationship thing says loads about his personality. He doesn’t even want equality, he has bowed out! You go girl!
Yes, as far as that date, as they say, scrape your shoe and move on. 😁 Get better, lots of rest and lots fluids. You work really hard. Your house is adorable. Love your clothes as well. Take care.
One thing that I've been doing a lot recently with my artwork is using a color wheel when I get stumped on color. You could check and see what is compatible with rust a gold tones. My guess is probably a deep, warm egg plant color. Your home is looking so beautiful and cozy!
I love your assessment of the date at the end. it was very mature and insightful to see that you were able to look at the date objectively and realize it simply wasn't for you. in a way it was useful even though it won't go any further. it helped you to see what you do not want and that was so cool to see in real time.
Some thoughts on the open wall: consider removing the door and instead hang vintage fabric draperies across the open doorway to close the opening for any drafts, etc. That would open up the usable wall area for the art and future furniture installments. The fabric could be either solid or vintage design and even changed out for winter/summer. Color paint: Look at colors used in your favorite art pieces for inspiration. Get well.
I think your table would be beautiful in white paint, then distressed. It would brighten up the space along with the skylight. You could then change out table runners and decor with different color schemes and items for the pop of color and interest, without the commitment.
Hope you feel yourself soon. With the room facing your amazing garden, I thought a beautiful green would have been the natural choice but I'm still excited to see where you going with the purplish tones you are leaning toward.
I think waiting on the dining room paint may be wise. I say get the side board first!!!!! be patient my friend!!!! Cheers and yes try the large mirror where the green hutch used to be, you can always move it back if you hate it lol. Hugs
Only you Elise, would paint dark purple while sitting on a white rug!😂 can’t wait to see the skylight going in! Your little house is really looking beautiful. Get well soon 🙂
I'm excited to see how your new home project turns out! I like that you share your opinions on your life and what you are looking for towards your future...I think you're feet are on solid ground which having a good foundation is necessary for building on! Blessings Elise 👍👏😊💖
Agree with comment about the more reddish tone and the ivory paint choice especially since your brick wall has that undertone, and puple might conflict. If you go lighter, it will also brighten up your darker dining area and bring out the chairs more
I hope you feel better soon. It was so kind of you making a video for us when you didn't feel well. I can't wait to see the table painted. It will give the room a big lift.
I slightly speed up every single vid I watch, EXCEPT yours. Yours I want to watch in full because you're lovely and your vids are calming and peaceful to me. Wishing you the best from Tennessee.
I'm so sad the green cabinet went away..I loved it! I love the second color for the table. I'm sorry you don't feel well but admire that you power through. Please take care and have a lovely new year!
Still a great vlog, Elise; sorry you're a bit under the weather. Love seeing your outfits. You elevate dress to an art form. Thanks for the inspo on transforming a living space & furniture. The dating world can be daunting. You're a great girl, so the Universe is, no doubt, still shuffling the deck 'til the best & highest surfaces. ❤❤❤
The big painting in the middle of your collection with the wine and red colored flowers and gold frame would look spectacular on that wall. Maybe some sconces.
Even sick, you are stunning! 😍 Hope your cold is short lived and you feel better sooner then later! I never heard that before about bringing out your male energy...I am now looking at my relationship with my husband a little differently. My husband rarely takes the lead but I love it when he does. I find it takes a lot of energy to bring out this male energy you speak of. (We're 57 by the way and been together for 38 yrs) I really admire you for how you view relationships and dating...as well as your creative style and just how AMAZING you are. I always enjoy your videos. Love you Elise...Happy 2024! 😘❤️🥰
So sorry to hear you aren't well Elise ❤ take the time out you need. Your first date was interesting if nothing else 😂 onwards and upwards. Your a lady who I feel will never settle for second best. Loving this new project you're working on, look forward to seeing it complete. Until then, take care. Blessings from Ireland ❤
Elise, your videos go by so quickly! I loved the snow! I'm sorry you are not feeling well. I hope you have a humidifier. They really help. I loved hearing about your date. It's encouraging to know that it's okay to take a risk, and understand that some dates are not going to click. I'm eager to see your home transform!
Sweet Elise, Hope you rest yourself and feel better. I may have said this over on instagram, but I was sick too. I am still dealing with it. It seems like everyone is sick! I hope you are on the mend and feeling better. I enjoyed this video and it always feels like a nice little visit with a friend!
Hello from Iowa where we have had temps below zero. I love your videos very much. I am concerned about your table being painted. There are other options using tablecloths, runners, placemats, etc.for many different colors during seasons and holidays. That way your dinnerware, flowers and such can cordinate better. Get well soon.
I enjoyed this video. Beautiful snow makes everything fresh and new. Room looks so much larger without the green cabinet. Hope you find the perfect credenza or buffet that will complement dining table and all your art. Get well soon and have a good weekend.
It was wonderful to see someone online who is so self aware and so at peace with themselves that they can let go, (politely yet super quickly), potential connections with those that not going to be their equal on all levels in the relationship. Well done on trusting your gut. Well done on being totally true to what is best for you and the type of relationship you seek to be part of. A person that doesn't want to cherish solely you, and grow with you only, is not the long term, committed equal you deserve. Being happy and healthy as a single, is simply not worth sacrificing your values, self awareness, soul and spirit over. If someone is going to join you on life's journey........ they need to be totally prepared to commit and treasure you alone only.
Elise this video was very good. And you look good in everything. You will meet the right man for you one day. He will be as fabulous as you! Hope you get well soon!
Elise, I'm on day 3 with the same heavy head, snotty cold as you woke up with. I've been taking Elderberry syrup that really helps with the sinuses and throat. Hope your cold is only a day or two.
Keep yourself warm and get well soon Elise. We can learn a lot from others, the great thing is you know what you want in a relationship. Have a great weekend/week 😊
Elise, this was a good video even with you sick which I am so sorry for you. I do hope you get some rest and get better. Can't wait to see the table painted. Take care.
Feal better soon Elsie! You will find your right partner when the time is right. You don't need to rush into anything. I like the best..cozy. I don't think you should paint the table ,personally. That's just me. Maybe refresh the stain. I have a bunch of wood tones& that's because I have a dresser & mirror from 1948,year I was born & I stripped it from white back to oak..lots of carvings.I have other stuff over 100 yrs old& some 70's stuff& 80's.To old to change now& broke. It is what it is. Your house is gorgeous!..& it's yours.🥰👍💞
I'm glad he was honest with you and told you on the first date. The reason he let you take control of the date is the same reason he wants open relationships. He does not want any responsibility. He wants to sit back and do as he pleases with no consequences. That's fine - it's his life. Glad you know yourself and know that that would not work for you. Big Hugs
👏👏👏👏
i had a friend years ago, a older lady neighbor who use to tell me when we discussed my dates ,she always said go 1st class.......... never settle for less..................Hugs.
I actually appreciate people like your date. They didn't waste your time by lying about what they wanted from a relationship just for their own gratification. If it isn't right it's super nice to know before investing a lot of time and energy into it and getting hurt. Kudos to him.
I agree...except..I think something like that should be announced on their dating profile.
I agree!
True this
@@violetmartha916agreed
“kudos to him” meanwhile he made her pay and sounded like a fuckboy, your standards are in the depths of hell
Hello Elise. Just want to say I love watching your videos and to ask if you have thought about moving your large mirror on the wall where your green hutch was. It would reflect the window across the room and would help to add light.
Exactly my suggestion I posted on her last video.
Elise your videos are always good. I’m sorry you’re feeling poorly and pray you feel better soon. Don’t rush into doing anything and allow your body to heal.
I love those green dishes you took out of your cabinet. As for your paint color on your table you will pick the right one. These colors pick up some of the colors in the pictures you have against the wall. A skylight will bring nice light into the room.
Good on you sticking to your ideal. Relationships are a very personal thing and open ones are not for everybody. As you get older a person wants more in life, a partner that has the same needs as you will come into your life at the right time. Be true to yourself always.
Be well and see your next post soon. ❤❤❤
Yes that mirror on that wall will be bringing in so much light into the space!
“It’s so January …” EXACTLY! Hope you feel better soon!
Hey Elise. Just a little FYI when painting...... always put a white primer or white base coat. The wood is as if you are painting over a tan or brown, which changes the true color of what you have chosen. That is why it dried darker. So proud of you and all you have accomplished through all the trials and hardships. Be Blessed!
And put a second coat of paint on to really see the color.
Why not paint the table a shade of green
Yes I think so too the color she's choosing will clash with her rust-colored sofa?
@@mocarra100 I think they will be complimentary.
Good point! Never thought of that
I would absolutely keep the wood on the dining table, I feel like once you have the skylights it will look so classic and give you a needed masculine touch in your house! Everything in balance ⚖️
I have a dark wood dining set right next to a picture window, so I can appreciate your comment. It wouldn't hurt to wait, but I know that Elise can come up with some really creative options, although I don't agree with every choice she has made. It's always enjoyable to see how it all ends up.

I think with prober lighting the dinningroom would be fine without a skylight. It won't add any value to the house if she wants to sell it.
As far as skylights not adding any value to the resale of the house, I would check with a realtor, first.@@rikkemeek1506

I KNOW RIGHT ???
SHE IS SO NEAT & TIDY
I think that every time I watch her paint on that rug. 😅😅
Those pictures will make a great gallery wall
love the second purple colour! for your table, and maybe someone more mature to date with your old soul, not too much older of an fella, but maybe someone with a different background, and not so artsy so to enjoy from a friendship point of view first, and maybe more established, to do things with, like dinner, traveling, and shopping together, having a home as well, like you in doing things together❤the table would look perfect in a white shabby chic, maybe two toned as well.

I've been attempting to have my own living space for years, and seeing you have the freedom to create and bend your environment to suit who you are as a person is inspiring.

I agree Lenara!❤..Elise is so inspiring, as she putters around creating a beautiful life! So many valuable lessons !
Elise, I also would suggest a primer first to neutralize the dark wood. I would also
suggest that you might want to wait until the skylight is in since you mentioned
the difference of tones closer or further from the window light. Also have you
considered how the color will look with the wood of your chairs? I can definitely
sense your excitement for redecorating so be sure to think out your long term
goals. Have fun and thanks for sharing your journey.
Stuck in bed with covid, your video made my day. Thank you, Elise. I like the more reddish colour for your table, but you know, what you are doing, I am sure. As for your cold: Hope you get better soon!
Loving your color choices. Can’t wait to see what you pick. I love your style so know whatever it is, it will look amazing. Sorry your date didn’t go the way you would have liked. I think it’s good that you know yourself and won’t pursue a second date with someone who doesn’t share your values. Please don’t apologize for a video not being interesting. I show up for you, which I’m sure is the same for most of your followers. I think it’s a testimony to your strength and character that you show up at all when you’re sick. Take care and I hope you’re feeling better soon.💐
Well put
Definitely!🎉..I don't need a performance, Elise in every day life is an inspiring reality!❤
Having a man who makes you feel comfortable enough to be in your feminine energy is sooooooo nice. I previously dated so many men where I had to be very much in my masculine, and it was exhausting. My current boyfriend, and the man that I plan on marrying, make me feel so comfortable and safe. It feels wonderful to embrace my feminine energy fully and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Yes, as far as that date, as they say, scrape your shoe and move on. 😁 Get better, lots of rest and lots fluids. You work really hard. Your house is adorable. Love your clothes as well. Take care.

I think your table would be beautiful in white paint, then distressed. It would brighten up the space along with the skylight. You could then change out table runners and decor with different color schemes and items for the pop of color and interest, without the commitment.
The snow looks beautiful 🤍 wow it is a beautiful chilled 🍷 wine oh not that wine! 💜 get better and keep warm. 🔥 Mr Right will come along give it time.
Elise, when testing the paint colours, it will look different against dark stained wood, unless you are sanding it down first 😊
True! I wonder what the rose shade over the purple would look like!
I hope you’re soon well, Elise! Being sick definitely affects one’s optimism for the new year. This, too, shall pass.
No worries! Hope you feel better soon! 😊
Hope you feel yourself soon. With the room facing your amazing garden, I thought a beautiful green would have been the natural choice but I'm still excited to see where you going with the purplish tones you are leaning toward.

Oh I am sorry you are not feeling well. Sending good vibes from Arizona . ❤
I went with a dark aubergine paint colour for my heritage house living room I totally love it 😊
Hello thank you for the video, hope you feel better soon, take care . Hugs and Blessings.💐,🙏
Must have been an interesting date! Love both the colours you chose, so cheerful 💙
Feel better soon.. it’s hard to work when you feel bad. I like the space since cabinet is gone. It looks Hugh. Love your purple sweater.
Rest up, thank you for your wonderful video xo warm hugs xo
You are a special person who is a very interesting person. I hope you feel better soon. Rest and drink fluids.
Agree with comment about the more reddish tone and the ivory paint choice especially since your brick wall has that undertone, and puple might conflict. If you go lighter, it will also brighten up your darker dining area and bring out the chairs more
I like the red toned paint better. It doesn't clash with your sofa so bad. So fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.
Hi, I can't wait to see your lounge /dining evolve into your vision. I love your paint colours, I'd find it so hard to choose lol
I hope you feel better soon. It was so kind of you making a video for us when you didn't feel well. I can't wait to see the table painted. It will give the room a big lift.
You’re amazing Elise. I love watching your videos. Rest up and go easy on yourself. You are your own best friend
I slightly speed up every single vid I watch, EXCEPT yours. Yours I want to watch in full because you're lovely and your vids are calming and peaceful to me. Wishing you the best from Tennessee.
I'm so sad the green cabinet went away..I loved it! I love the second color for the table. I'm sorry you don't feel well but admire that you power through. Please take care and have a lovely new year!
Good for you for knowing what you want and what you don't!! Love the artwork.
Still a great vlog, Elise; sorry you're a bit under the weather. Love seeing your outfits. You elevate dress to an art form. Thanks for the inspo on transforming a living space & furniture. The dating world can be daunting. You're a great girl, so the Universe is, no doubt, still shuffling the deck 'til the best & highest surfaces. ❤❤❤
The big painting in the middle of your collection with the wine and red colored flowers and gold frame would look spectacular on that wall. Maybe some sconces.
Feel you girl. I've been sick with a cold for 2 weeks. Winter is hard on me
Even sick, you are stunning! 😍 Hope your cold is short lived and you feel better sooner then later!
I never heard that before about bringing out your male energy...I am now looking at my relationship with my husband a little differently. My husband rarely takes the lead but I love it when he does. I find it takes a lot of energy to bring out this male energy you speak of. (We're 57 by the way and been together for 38 yrs) I really admire you for how you view relationships and dating...as well as your creative style and just how AMAZING you are. I always enjoy your videos. Love you Elise...Happy 2024! 😘❤️🥰
So sorry to hear you aren't well Elise ❤ take the time out you need. Your first date was interesting if nothing else 😂 onwards and upwards. Your a lady who I feel will never settle for second best. Loving this new project you're working on, look forward to seeing it complete. Until then, take care. Blessings from Ireland ❤
Hope you’re recovering swiftly! I just got over my own virus, it was awful!
You made the right decision, I'm the same all or nothing, in a relationship 💞
Get well soon Elise ❤❤❤
Feel better soon Elise, looking forward to your dining room transformation ❤
I love watching renovations,repaintings etc.Keep going.Nice video 🧡
Elise, your videos go by so quickly! I loved the snow! I'm sorry you are not feeling well. I hope you have a humidifier. They really help. I loved hearing about your date. It's encouraging to know that it's okay to take a risk, and understand that some dates are not going to click. I'm eager to see your home transform!

Sweet Elise, Hope you rest yourself and feel better. I may have said this over on instagram, but I was sick too. I am still dealing with it. It seems like everyone is sick! I hope you are on the mend and feeling better. I enjoyed this video and it always feels like a nice little visit with a friend!
TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF ELISE!!! Feel Better!!! You need some down time!
Hello from Iowa where we have had temps below zero. I love your videos very much. I am concerned about your table being painted. There are other options using tablecloths, runners, placemats, etc.for many different colors during seasons and holidays. That way your dinnerware, flowers and such can cordinate better. Get well soon.
I enjoyed this video. Beautiful snow makes everything fresh and new. Room
looks so much larger without the green cabinet. Hope you find the perfect credenza or buffet that will complement dining table and all your art. Get well soon and have a good weekend.
Hope you ate feeling better ❤. I have never done an open relationship. I have been happily married for 28 years 😊
I hope you feel better soon. Take care ✨
I agree. You should use a deeper purple than your sweater. I did that in a house I used to live in surrounding my white fireplace. It looked so good!
I hope you fee better soon. As far as your date; good for you- you know what you want.
The right person will come along! xoxo
It was wonderful to see someone online who is so self aware and so at peace with themselves that they can let go, (politely yet super quickly), potential connections with those that not going to be their equal on all levels in the relationship. Well done on trusting your gut. Well done on being totally true to what is best for you and the type of relationship you seek to be part of. A person that doesn't want to cherish solely you, and grow with you only, is not the long term, committed equal you deserve. Being happy and healthy as a single, is simply not worth sacrificing your values, self awareness, soul and spirit over. If someone is going to join you on life's journey........ they need to be totally prepared to commit and treasure you alone only.
I like the large center one in gold frame . The flowers are gorgeous
Hope you are feeling better. 🙏🏽❤️
congratulations on your new house! I am so happy for you Elise, hope you have many happy years there. USA
Elise this video was very good. And you look good in everything. You will meet the right man for you one day. He will be as fabulous as you! Hope you get well soon!
I loved your outfits and your hats. I hope you feel better asap.
Elise, I'm on day 3 with the same heavy head, snotty cold as you woke up with. I've been taking Elderberry syrup that really helps with the sinuses and throat. Hope your cold is only a day or two.
Keep yourself warm and get well soon Elise. We can learn a lot from others, the great thing is you know what you want in a relationship. Have a great weekend/week 😊
The towels look great .. so cool to do that instead of getting rid of them ❤
I loved the green cabinet, but I’m sure whatever you put there will be great.
Hope you feel better. Even though you are sick you are still a beautiful inspirational woman just by being yourself. May your future always be bright!
Elise, this was a good video even with you sick which I am so sorry for you. I do hope you get some rest and get better. Can't wait to see the table painted. Take care.
Feal better soon Elsie! You will find your right partner when the time is right. You don't need to rush into anything. I like the best..cozy. I don't think you should paint the table ,personally. That's just me. Maybe refresh the stain. I have a bunch of wood tones& that's because I have a dresser & mirror from 1948,year I was born & I stripped it from white back to oak..lots of carvings.I have other stuff over 100 yrs old& some 70's stuff& 80's.To old to change now& broke. It is what it is. Your house is gorgeous!..& it's yours.🥰👍💞
Feel better soon. I enjoy the thrifting and seeing the ideas for home.
