I actually love the clean lines of the lockers with the mantle being so ornate and the table and chairs being a nice combination. I think the wood color is making them successful. If you want wider, you could move the lockers to one side of the nook and get a tree for the space on the fireplace side. It could help with the stencil vibe that you are patiently waiting for. It could even be a fake tree. I love the idea of moving the small curio cabinet to a hallway so the lockers feel more intentional. I am a perpetual rearranger though. 😉 Every deep clean something gets rearranged. Your house is so much like a dollhouse. So perfect for you. 🧡💙
I just love your channel. You are someone that I’d love to meet and spend a day with!! Thank you for making this space of what you love because it’s what I love, too! ❤ Way to go on rescuing those wooden lockers!
I love the size of that dining room. I love big old fashioned dining rooms where one can host Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners in style. Thanks for the tips!
Such beautiful floors, Kathleen. Perhaps someday beautiful knobs for the lockers would make it look less primitive. I have many vintage furniture pieces but no antiques from my mom and mother-in-law.
Love the lockers💙 what a wonderful rescue 🥰 I am new to your channel and love all things old also. I am looking forward to your reset. I hope you add some height to the top of the lockers with some more old and beautiful finds
Hi Kathleen,only just found your channel. Your home is beautiful. When you spoke about the tree stencil in the dining room I could just imagine it a,,and maybe making the trees progress through the seasons . Can't wait to see your progress
Your dining room is so lovely!!! The mantel, floor and the wainscoting is just amazing. I would be so interested to see the wall treatment you mentioned. Do you have an image that you could share? Could you paint the lockers the same color as your chairs?
Oh drat! 😊 I do love a challenge. If you think the lockers seem too small for that nook, could you..... Add bulk with a beautiful type of garland on the top and lots of thrifted brass candlesticks? Not a Christmas garland, but something with large leaves or fluffy dried hydrangeas. I think you can diy leaves with brown craft paper lightly sprayed with a couple different metallic spray paints
Gorgeous in every way and so deeply grateful for your generosity, too. Warm, kindred connections from Colorado! Thrilled to discover your beautiful channel 🍁💗🌿
The lockers would be amazing in a mudroom, first time watching, so don't know if you have one or a back porch for gardening stuff. Vintage is 20+ years, antique is 100 years or more old. Love your high ceilings. Our facebook market place is the same, takes me awhile to find things I love. The east coast is amazing for stuff. You could also add some molding etc to the lockers to get a nicer look and possibly paint. Goo gone would help to remove the labels without marring the lockers with a butter knife.
Welcome! Thank you for you ideas 😀I do think they would be amazing in a mudroom. We have the space but it needs work…would be such a fun project. Thank you for your comments. I’m so glad you found me!
I think it would look great to stencil the inner panels of the locker doors and then sand the stencil a bit so it looks worn. It might be too busy with the current wallpaper but maybe if you move them. I am thinking of a large pattern stencil.
What about adding small legs to the bottom of the lockers; you'll probably have to add another board on the bottom to strengthen it. Also, could add a board on top that is thicker and a little longer. Just found your channel, love your style!!
Hi Kathleen, Do you have any videos on how to decorate for a German Country Cottage? I know how to do an English Country Cottage, but I am not sure if my German antique pieces (not furniture) just little pieces here and there would fit into an English Country Cottage vibe? Or would they? Please advise.
Hi, I am not familiar with German Country at all! But I would imagine that little pieces here and there would definitely fit in. I don't think the various European country styles have super hard and fast definitions. It's about creating a feeling of comfort and cohesiveness...your pieces sound lovely!
I love your big rooms especially this dining room. The lockers are awesome!! They would be good for homeschooling supplies. I rescue antique/vintage pieces and then have to find a place to put them in my house 😂. I’m constantly moving pieces all over the house. My husband never knows what he will find when he gets home from work. Last Christmas I decorated one corner of the living room for him and told him I would never change it. It is his dark academia corner. It is a very nice cozy corner. Thank you for sharing your ideas.
Thank you! Yes, that was our original idea but getting that piece upstairs is another project :) I love the idea of your dark academia corner that will never change!
Farm House, Grandma core this & that.... I'm over it. I have only a few items, I've donated a boatload of gently used things. Clutter is a no-no for me. I shop inside my own home. I love colors and animal decor tropical plants, plus other unrelated styles.
Auctions are a great place to buy furniture and save a bundle. I have decorated my entire place with auction finds. You can find some quality sturdy non chipped things. I got my camel colored flexsteel couch in clean show room condition for $5! Oh please don't scrape with a metal knife on wood. Wet the tape well with water and then Murphy's oil soap. Leave on about 10 minutes and if you scrape , use plastic knife. NOT metal.
You could’ve taken the drawers out of the buffet to make it easier to move .If that wallpaper is good and stuck on well you could paint over it then do your stencils on it .
Oooooo dear Lord. At this pace it’s gonna take you 6 months to clean out the side board. Why didn’t you just take out the drawers? I can’t watch stuff like this
Kathleen, you have created a beautiful and cozy home. I love that you stay true to your sense of aesthetics.
😊 thank you 🙏
The wallpaper in the dining room is so great. I love it.
thanks!

I just love your channel. You are someone that I’d love to meet and spend a day with!! Thank you for making this space of what you love because it’s what I love, too! ❤
Way to go on rescuing those wooden lockers!
Aww Thank you so much!😊
Some type of legs or upholstered base may work, mounted to the lockers. Beautiful, you got a treasure that you can use forever in many rooms❤
Thanks for the tips!😊
Kathleen, love your home and channel! So happy to have you "pop up" in my feed!
Thank you so much! I hope your recovery goes smoothly!
Those lockers would be perfect in mud room. What a blessing you salvaged them.
yes they would. would love that! thanks!
I love the size of that dining room. I love big old fashioned dining rooms where one can host Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners in style. Thanks for the tips!
I totally agree! You're welcome!
Such beautiful floors, Kathleen. Perhaps someday beautiful knobs for the lockers would make it look less primitive. I have many vintage furniture pieces but no antiques from my mom and mother-in-law.
Great idea! thank you. the floors are amazing. I really need to wax them!
Love the lockers, lucky you! As usual a very interesting video. Beautiful home.
Thank you very much!

Thank you!😊 I do i will have to find it. I did float this idea to my husband but… hahah I had to solemnly swear to not touch them with paint😑
Oh drat! 😊 I do love a challenge.

Friend , everything is beautiful!
Thank you! 🤗
The wood lockers are amazing!

The dinning room wallpaper is so beautiful to me …I live florals…but stenciled would be beautiful as well.
Thanks! I love wallpaper but it is falling down…
What are you using to polish your wood furniture???? Your dining room is so beautiful 🌻🌻🦃

Greetings from Canada! Hello Kathleen...you had me at Old World Farm House ...subscribed. I'll be checking out your other videos, cheers for now.
Welcome! So glad you are here 😀

Thank you! Definitely going to consider adding legs!!
So glad you are here! Welcome 😊
Add some trim to lockers to blend in with the rest of the room
Lovely video ❤❤
You are so kind

Call your new piece a butlers or housekeepers cup board.
Yes!! Then I will love it even more😀 great idea thanks!
