That was wonderful! Your approach to color is brilliant! Someone once told me 'Of all the things there are in this world to be afraid of, do not be afraid of color.' I love color! You have inspired me! I've got my paint cans ready to go! But now I'm going to try translucent paint on my white woven curtains. Can hardly wait!
The husband is an absolute sweetie! So understanding of the obsessiveness that goes with creativity. It's not always easy to live with. She is also a lovely, engaging person and a true artists. I love the deep orange dining room - the hand painted designs are truly beautiful.
Kristin is awesome ! I would love to visit on a warm morning, have some coffee or tea and chat with this lovely lady. She makes her world BEAUTIFUL - it's so great she is willing to teach others how to do the same!
Who wouldn't want to have Thanksgiving in that wild and wonderful house???! And you'd never guess looking at the outside. I love painting furniture and totally transforming the look of it. Those pieces Kristin painted are just fabulous - that red and orange? Magical!!!
Oh my, I cried when Kristin talked about her home and how she hopes the kids who have shared holidays with her and her family at their farm, will always remember it. THEY WILL! How could this ever be forgotten. I love their spirit, I love what Mark said about her waking at 2 in the morning with an ideal and I love their daughter. That photo of her in the scarf and hat is heartbreakingly love. Thanks for this!!
I needed to stumble across this wonderful video this particular morning. It has lifted my spirits and re-aligned me with my true decorating self. I say "begone, all fear of the criticisms of others......BE YOURSELF!!!!!" THANK YOU KRISTIN, AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS.
You are an amazing Lady...Love, love you're colors..But, most of all your husbands comment, I would never tell her no...because, it would destroy her creativity ...That statement is so true, for us artiest..we can do a project and not like it and do it over, but, no one else can say it looks awful..it takes us weeks to reprogram our art spirits.. Bless you and your family...
The orange, patterned walls are the best!! I'd buy wallpaper like that right away!! And I'd like to spend a weekend in this house! Thank you for sharing.
OH my WORD !! I have been watching Kristin Nicholas for YEARS on my favorite knitting program... I have made some of the items she demonstrated .. Hers are always my favorite.. So NOW, to have this show up in my feed .. and see her BEAUTIFUL Home ... well, this is truly a treat !!!
Oh my heavens!! What a beautiful welcoming home. I LOVE COLOR TOO. People think I'm crazy but color is so wonderful so earthy. Thank you for showing us your outstanding house, farm, and of course your sweet family and YOU!! Can't wait to buy your book! With love from Debbie and Dexter-Dog her tiny rescued chihuahua from Mexico living in S. California. 👩🐾😁👍
Love your home...... and the interest or situation with the color......love the contrast against the withe snow on winter, and love your studio.....all withe and then an explocion of color......so warm so nice and so refreshing........love the chairs and table.....in black......congrats and keep your evolution with the colors.....
I could tour your home for days and probably see new things daily. Your love for bright colors and spontaneity is truly refreshing. I love the way you embrace old furniture pieces with family history...this only adds to the character and warmth. Your home is absolute my lovely, brimming with personality and charm . I wish there were more people like you! Thank you for sharing and inspiring the artists within all of us!
My heart is beating so fast, I have goosebumps and a big grin showing off all the weathering in this 65 year old face. I love color in the same way and my ceramic studio is painted bright green, sunflower yellow, bright fuschia, brilliant purple, orange and the ceiling is blue with the odd cloud.( Clouds are rare here). I just returned from a trip to Mexico and stayed in a villa that was painted purple and orange and yellow and blue and I was at such peace, and I realize that bright color and lots of it are such an important part of my life.. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video of your family and your home. I would definitely want to meet you personally if I didn't live in Santa Monica CA, but perhaps I'll get to one of your workshops sometime.. Heres hoping.
People are blind not to appreciate the importance of colour in our lives. Like you ,me and my wife are also very fond of colours. Our daughter calls us "a colourful couple".I also liked the good virtues that you are giving to your daughter. The old sentimental things, the artist within you, things that once you could not afford which you can now are all very common to my feelings. And last of all the support of your family which is very important. Thank you. Very inspiring video.
I'm glad for her, and her home is perfect for her, and her property is wonderful, but I would never paint my own home that way, but I'm happy for her, because everything is from the heart. Ms. L. Churchill
I really like your place, your family, and your out look. You’ll survive this virus times because you guys are SO healthy emotionally. Wish I was your neighbor!
I love this house and the family, I wish my mom had been more like this lady. I also love how she has painted her walls in the dinning room, I have wanted to paint flowers like that in my hall for the last five years and 3 homes, and I have decided I am going to do it. Thank you for such a lovely insight into your home and family!
Kristin Nicholas I am going to next year when (if!!!) we get warm weather. I am searching the internet for inspiration and have collected a fair amount of lovely flower pictures/designs. I particularly like the Indian Paisley designs. Thank you for your comment! x
Oh my goodness this is my kind of house. Eclectic farmhouse art colour so so beautiful. Good for the soul. I love old stuff too, the history of things. Yes this house is a home, a real home. Thank you for letting us in
There was a smile on my face the whole time I watched this. Have watched several times! I love color as well. Thank you for sharing your talents. Warmed my heart!
Beautiful and inspiring! LOVE that she is brave enough to take a "family" piece and make it uniquely her own. Her enthusiasm for life & creativity and her husband's wonderful support and encouragement are so inspiring! Blessings & color color color!
Does anyone here remember Susan Sargent and her books ("New Country Color", "The Comfort of Color" etc.)? She lived in the New England countryside as well, and if she has passed the torch in terms of philosophy and creative style, Ms. Nicholas definitely seems to be the one she has passed it to. We can be grateful. Gotta love anyone who provides a lovely and vibrant alternative to the relentlessly sterile white and grey interiors that have made homes, and home design magazines, such a boring wasteland for the last couple of years.
Gorgeous lady, gorgeous house, gorgeous paintings, so warm, so beautiful, so emotional. I enjoyed watching this video so much. It is healing. Thank you.
Totally delightful! This Lady is a true Artist. I started to do something similar when I bought a small 1895 Steelworkers Rowhouse in Pittsburgh, but the House had major Infrastructure issues and I had to abandon the Project.
I LOVE your home! I love everything about it. It makes you happy seeing all that you have created. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I enjoyed seeing every single part. Thank you :) ... Sharon
I thought I had enough color in my little place; I was wrong! I love your home, it reflects your personality. We all need more color in our lives I feel!
What a beautiful farm I loved the pastors with the sheep and that lovely decorated farm house colorful, shabby chic, charming and a happy family to live in it .
Kristin: You're beautiful. Kudos & congratulations for the strength, passion & individualism you express & "impose" upon the world. WOW! I'm, originally, from the country though I'm a Southerner. I understand your soul. Keep up the good work. You're SO blessed. Lovingly, Theresa D.❤❤❤
What a sweet loving family. You’ve created a wonderful home and lifestyle. I’m a creative maker also and I find your story and successes so inspirational! Congratulations!
Bravo to Kristin Nicholas--not afraid of color. I'm working on bringing color in my home and starting to take baby steps. Thank you for sharing this warm, beautiful, and colorful home.
An absolutely stunning accomplishment in the most vivid colours which makes you feel alive and full of joy. The combination of colours gives the home a warm and happy feeling. Much respect ...
I have long been a fan of Kristin's knitting, embroidery and painting...and now I am so happy that her lovely and colourful HOUSE is getting more attention!!! I recommended her book, "Crafting a Colorful Home." Kristin's use of colour in all of her designs is so very inspiring!! oxoxox :-D
I like the way you think and express your creativity. Your home looks cozy, cheerful, alive and fun. It works for me. You have very good taste for color 😉
Lovely house, beautifully eccentric and individual. I've been there in my own house too, but you've taken it all the way to the edge and beyond. Thanks so much for sharing it with us.
I love this video. That house is beautiful. I hope when my family finish making my new home, it will be as gorgeous, welcoming ,and full of colors as this one. This story is truly remarkable and eyeopening.

I almost cried watching this..I am 65. I love LOVE love color. I have had a VERY unusual life and since July of last year when I moved into this apartment, I have NEVER lived on my own. My kids tell me I need to stick with browns and beiges. Finally a kindred soul that hates beiges as bad as I do!! I am gonna start today ( yes, during stay at home Covid-19) looking for 1 colorful thing to put up in MY apartment! Thank you!!!
