You have a JEWEL in John! He definitely knows what he’s talking about, has great input without being pushy, listens to you, but provides valuable input into decisions. I really loved when he said that your home will look “Linda Vader” which is how it’s supposed to look! Now THAT is a man who’s got it! We are individuals, not clones of some designer, and our homes should reflect that. Hooray for John!
John seems like such a gentle soul. The way he was so gracious with everyone’s ideas. I love how he can make a room feel unique and not decorated. I think he needs his own RUclips channel!
I love seeing John, he has such a humble vibe!!!🙌😊
I LOVE when John is on the video. He not only has good advice and listens, but he is so respectful when making suggestions giving you the opportunity to reach a solution after some thought. Love the idea of casement windows and YES a dutch door would be great. Can't wait for the video re the map/gallery wall. I have a real problem creating a natural look and not contrived. Can't wait to see what you do with the front 'closet' area where you were going to make the mud room. This is all coming together with great thought. Thank you, John, for visiting us here again. Thank you Linda and Stewart too ❤
So glad you followed John's advise he was spot on from the very beginning the room shows off your collections beautifully
The weight of the fireplace is now balanced by the bookcases across the room. I love the room now. Perfect.
I do love the bookcases on that wall. I had suggested the mudroom behind them ..really like that John wanted a mushroom in front of the window. I do like casement windows with storage under and small storage for hubs. Along with plants. I can see those visions...I am so glad you are engaging in great solutions ... can't wait for the finished look. Maps are a great way to add to the room. I have never been a fan of painted white walls but seems to be a solution in this case.
I’m so happy you did this!!! The TV wall still needs help, but can’t wait to see the solutions! I think anchoring the TV on the wall and and leaving that beautiful table free beneath it would be so nice.
Great idea
I agree the TV needs to be anchored to the wall…if I remember correctly from one of the first videos Linda commented on wanting to be able to use the table for dining, if needed, and anchoring the TV would allow for this use…can’t wait to see move videos of the progression of this house and gardens…
You are coming out with some really great solutions. When the final product is done, it will be absolutely gorgeous…design for your personality and enjoy your beautiful home. Sending hugs, love, prayers and kindness with lots of positive thoughts.❤
Your great room is fantastic! I love the personality and theme that is so “you”! Thank you for sharing! There are some great tutorials n building a frame around a wall television. That would really make it blend in with the maps. The boot storage table sound wonderful!
As John mentioned what he did - lay out the maps and such that you want on the wall - I'm hoping John might share his recent wall styling secrets with us. Yes, perhaps anchor it to the wall itself among the maps and such, therefore freeing up the table space. I feel funny commenting on someone else's styling decisions but tv's can really be problematic. I laughed out loud when John gave his thoughts on tv's in a cabinet ... it was so true and hilarious at the same time.
Love how John is so gracious and clearly enjoys designing and collaborating with the project
Loving these videos with John!! Can’t wait to see your well-traveled, “British West Indies / out of Africa” gathered decor aesthetic bring your home to life.😊
Love the TV on this wall. We recently replaced an old 42” flat TV with a slightly larger tv. Previously it sat on a long buffet. I had the new TV hung on the wall above the buffet. I love the free space on my buffet. If you decide to do this your table can become your book table.
Absolutely loved this !!!!! John is a genius and is so charming....a joy to work with I am sure.
This video was so much fun and when you said gallery wall I just started to clap, clap, clap. I love gallery walls. John is so practical and the way the two of you come together on ideas and arrangements is just amazing. I can hardly wait to see John's house and garden again.
John needs to be in more video’s. Wonderful ideas!
Wow! The room is fabulous! Are you going to let John help with the front living room? He’s wonderful ! Love his traditional style.
Beautiful home and will look forward to watching the transformation of home and garden
You are such an inspiration !
Here’s my 2 cents. Front hall closet door is removed and becomes wonderful little bar space/and your “entertainment closet”. Cabinetry, wallpaper, lighting, glass shelving the works ! Show off your collection of entertainment wear , crystal and bar supplies.
I feel that front room should be a dining space and handy to have drinks and cutlery etc close by
Small round table at kitchen banquette , table for two for day to day dining .
What’s in the garage ? Would that not be the best place to showcase and store all the wellies, garden gloves, sun screen , hats etc ? Can you sub divide in the garage a small space to decorate and store all these items ?
No way would my dirty boots from the garden be stored in my living space ! And will become far to much clutter then in lithe great room .....just my 2 cents 😊
I completely agree with your front closet/room idea
Thought that the minute is saw it. Perfect for function, display and beauty.
Well, you two are just FABULOUS together!! How FUN and full of GREAT tips was this!!!! I LOVE everything about your den! The colors, the placement of the TV, and the bookcases, I love the bar, and John's ideas for your "mudroom area" is wonderful!! I am just soaking up ideas!!! This is like taking a free course in interior design! I just LOVE IT!! Thanks for a wonderful watch! Sending you, Stewart and John, lots of love and blessings! Can't wait to see MORE!!!
Can't wait to see John home and garden again! He's so talented and such a sweet person!
Linda!!! You have done a great job thinking through everything….and I am learning SO much while I enjoy watching you settling in…you are truly a breath of fresh air in my day! My kids say, “Are you watching Linda Vater, Mom?”🥰
PERFECT! I love the changes. First thing I noticed walking into the room now, the “safari table”, beautifully styled with the hide draped over, the 2 x benches, then the whole room view just opened up! I didn’t notice the TV at all. Everything about this room now makes sense. I can just picture a long table - bench in front of the window with all your topiaries on top and gardening gear below! WONDERFUL! Love to John, you’re so lucky to have him
Many viewers have commented on John's involvement in your decorating scheme - but he is a treasure. What an impact he will have on creating your home into everything you want it to be. Glad we will be along for the journey.....😍
I love the table the tv is on but not for the tv. I think it sits out too far and the decor tends to look cluttered with the tv. I think your tv table should not be any wider than your bar table. But please know this is my opinion and I’m sure if you came to my home you would find things you would not agree with. It’s a home. Make it livable for you & your hubby. It is going to look beautiful! You have a beautiful and unique home.
Agree with you Vicki. I do not care for the animal skin on the tv table and it does look cluttered. Don’t care for the animal print stools either. But all that matters is that Linda and her husband like it.
Thoroughly enjoying the thought processes and the progression of the home. We can all learn so much from all of this. Thank you so much for the videos on this 😊. I can feel an organic gallery wall in my future 😀
Agree, table doesn’t look good, too cluttered. Tv should be mounted on wall
I wouldn't be surprised if the TV disappears from there and ends up somewhere else or the TV might go on the wall.
I love all the animal stuff in the room and when the maps go up it will all make more sense I think.
I agree with you too, Vicki. It’s just not working on that big table.
I think some type of umbrella stand with walking sticks would look great. The gallery wall is a brilliant idea. Love what you're doing with the room.
John was so right about the bookcases. When I saw the TV on the table, I could see that the bookcases would not work there, although I love it in my house. Different setup! You are lucky to have John's advice! He is a talent!
Fun to watch this room come together. I love, love, love the barrel planter you created. The addition of the log as a platform for the little lantern is so creative.
Yes, the winter planter was wonderful. Plus the details of the lantern on the log with berries were excellent; so welcoming.
The bookcases on the other wall are perfect. I would not change the cases by pulling them together, they have character the way they are. The TV on wall of maps will be stunning. I’m sure the eye will go to the maps first! Love your design ideas.
The wall idea with maps and charts would be awesome. I love my cream colored walls and dark antique furniture lends itself to old sketches of family members in my home along with other personal art. All of the ideas you and John have sound great!😊❤️
How lovely that you read all the comments and give kudos to your subscribers. It looks wonderful!
Just what I wanted. That bookcase and tv placement! So, the mud room problem. Is that your garage we see a short way from that door? Is it possible to build a breeze way walk from there? With a small enclosed entryway at the family room entrance? Kind of like a small enclosed porch. That’s where the Dutch door could go. All your boots and hats, so cute.
Linda, you’re doing a fabulous job making this house your own. Thank you for bringing John Turman back as I just adore him and his expert advice. Please don’t concern yourself with making your bookshelves perfectly aligned as suggested by other viewers. They look lovely just as they are, the imperfectness adds to their charm. I do think having the television on a flat mount might look better with your gallery wall and maps. It will honestly bring it up a bit so you can better display your collections on that beautiful table. I think your zebra skin is hidden a bit as well. Perhaps drape it over the back of the sofa or on a wall somewhere? I love the animal skulls as well and you’ve got a great eye for displaying them. We actually have two cattle skulls hanging on our living room walls as well as a large wooden bed spring from an 1800’s full size bed. The small animal print stools I imagine were pulled out to accommodate your sitting with John to discuss things. When not in use will they tuck back further under the table so the area is not as busy? Just thoughts of mine. 😊 ♥️
Love you moved the bookcases they show off so much better!!!JOHN IS A TRU JEWELL!!! YOU ARE SO FORTUNATE TO HAVE HIM AND STEWART AS SUCH GREAT SUPPORT FRIENDS!!!!
Beautiful Home Linda! I love the big room! I also love this new format, the 2-camera angle, the breaks, etc. Great Job Stuart!
Thoroughly enjoying the thought process and the progression of your home. I am learning so much from your discussions. Thank you so much Linda, John and Stewart. I can feel an organic gallery wall in my future 😊
The room is looking lovely. The table/bench under the window will be perfect to display your topiary and to store your boots and baskets.
Can't wait to see another tour of John's home and garden this year.Would like to see the changes he made.
The TV can be flat on the wall and become a picture frame with your fav picture when not turned on. New tech.
Thank you for mentioning this Glee. Amazon actually sells frames for all sizes of TVs, to mimic the popular Samsung "Frame TV". RUclips also has a channel that rotates art to put on your TV if you like.
Oh, yes, please - more trips to John's house and garden! And again, thank you for bringing us along on your journey. This looks fantastic! Well done.
Love John and his practical ideas to personalize spaces.
This tv room would look amazing with a grass cloth neutral wallpaper
Looking great! Thank you for taking us along! Love John’s ability to listen and make suggestions. He’s a gem!❤
I agree I love the look of the book shelf where you put it now by the door everything is perfect -good job.
Love the artwork in that room. This is going to be so fun and I feel like we're getting free advice from John too.
The parlor could be a beautiful formal dining room. The corner in the kitchen could be a great cozy sitting area. table and chairs,,nix the bench seat.
My thoughts exactly
Beautiful room. I love the contrast of the white and dark. The bookcases are A statement in themselves! Great choices!
I love hanging the antlers on the wall by the bookshelves. Putting your hats on them feels so whimsical. The idea of a gallery wall is fabulous for all the reasons you mentioned in the video! I can't wait to see that idea come to life. As you settle in to your storybook cottage, you may find yourself reimagining how you use furniture pieces, art, accessories, etc. I have a little corner display shelf that has held books and other things in a kitchen, a dining room in a different house, a library loft in a third house, and now in a bedroom corner. I liked it in every one of those very different spots. Your move is wonderful in a way that my moves were not. You moved within your community. You still have all your friends around you to help you enjoy your new home. What a great blessing.
Enjoy the creative opportunities, and have fun.
I think the idea of a gallery wall with maps that have personal meeting for you is awesome. i had a friend whose husband collected old maps. He had many antique title maps of South Carolina. The two of them from them up and hung them as a gallery collection in the husbands Dan.
Hey Linda! Love your videos On the tv glare issue. I ordered an anti glare screen. You measure, they custom cut. Mine has solved the glare problem. Easy to apply. I forget it is even there! Thanks for sharing your new home!
A non glare screen will eliminate the windows reflecting on the TV. You may also consider non glare glass for the art work paced on the gallery wall to eliminate reflections,
Love the choices you made in this room! Love watching you and John talk about the placement and ideas about your new home thus far. He seems to be such a kind and sweet man. You can see the gentleness in his eyes. I think the tv placement is perfect! And great filming as always Stuart!
I can’t wait to see how you and John address the front room and kitchen. Lots of potential 🤗
John needs to have his own “show”. 🌟
Love, love, love the British Colonial design style. Also can’t wait to see how you create your gallery wall. 🎉
Decor is a journey of the soul wanting to live a beautiful life. I’m enjoying this and I know it will be forever changing, growing and expanding .
This was so fun! I love love love John! He has such wonderful ideas and helps you understand the reason behind his ideas. He seems to really try and understand the person and their lifestyle to help you. I love your husband's reaction when you moved the bookcases (which are gorgeous) "well that was a duh!" Oh, and John's suggestion for the garden boots under the window, fabulous! Linda, I also like your idea of a Dutch door. So much to do and so exciting! And yes, I'd love to see John's house again!
I would only keep garden boots in a deck box inside of garage door or wherever you keep garden tools. Also, laundry room is a great place to place extra boots maybe cubbies where you said cabinet is not staying.
I agree. We have beautiful little built-in cubbies for our boots by the back door but my boots are always too muddy for them! They live in the garage. :)
Love it!! Can't wait to see the artwork & maps up and the addition of the green. Sounds like a recipe for success. The mudroom shelf-bench idea is so clever...a place for all your topiaries to be displayed, connecting the outdoors with inside green! Perfecto!!!❤️
How fun to go thru the process with you & John as you think thru/design the spaces in your home! Thank you for taking us along!
I am loving all of the new videos about designing your new house! Can't wait to see what you do for the garden. John is so wonderful and I think we all want to know- Hey John, when are you going to start your own RUclips Channel!?!?!?
Oh Linda, I’ve been sickly and today was horrible until I turned you on!!!❤❤❤ You could bring a smile and happiness to anyone. Thank you for all the optimism and happiness the world really needs as well as decorating ideas.❤
I think it looks perfect now! Such a great example of a designer helping to guide your decision! Yay John! 🎉
I love your new home and it is your home. If when you see something that makes you have a warm heart and a big smile then you know it is right for you. My Grandmothers always told me to surround myself with beauty that makes me smile because I am the one who lives with it. I have followed their advise and I smile a lot in my home. You are such a warm and beautiful person I know it will be Gorgeous!!! 🥰
Carolyn - best comment of the day and I totally agree!
Just love how you & John changed the bookcases and the placement of the TV. Can't wait to see your gallery wall when it is done. Another idea would be to hang the TV on the wall as it would give you a little more room on your table. I just love gallery walls and I am sure yours is going to look stunning. John is so kind and what a joy to work with. So excited for you.
It will come together just like you want! I’m looking forward to see how you use the small room by the front door! I am glad it will not be a mud room…..just a special place!!!!
I love these videos of you and John collaborating on your interior. Please walk us through the design of your gallery wall. Can’t wait to hear John’s tip about placement of items on the wall. Love where you’ve placed the tv. It makes so much sense! The idea of a Dutch door is outstanding! Keep the entertainment coming!!!
I love your great room! I love that your Storybook Cottage is going to be filled with Stories of your life and the things you love! Seeing the smile on your face as you begin this new journey makes my heart happy for you.
Thank you for letting us be a part. You and John make a great decorating team.❤❤❤
Love John’s ideas. Would love to see his home again! Bring him on again soon
I would consider the Samsung frame tv that way you can hang it on the soon to be gallery wall. You can pick the Samsung matte display that drastically reduces light reflections and pick artwork that you like and it will blend into the gallery wall. 😃
Mix your map wall with some of the antlers, it would look organic and three dimensional
The furniture polish makes you real. LOL. I love the placement of the TV but too much stuff sitting around it distracts. Great video
I agree about the furniture polish comment :) and the clutter around the TV. I know it's a work in progress, but I think less is more in this case. With the TV you can't really have as much on that table as if it were just books. It's too busy.
I meant the round table! On the swirly legs. I’d love to see a closeup on the next occasion. John is wonderful and so are you Linda. I can watch you daily and for hours. Can’t wait for spring and development of your garden. ❤
Linda, I adore everything you've done. How blessed you are to have such a lovely rapport with John and Stewart!
Linda
John is just plain right. The room is looking so you!
Bravo, Linda and John, for reading everyone's suggestions given in the spirit of helpfulness. I've always said the number of opinions you get is proportional to the number of people you ask.
This video was helpful for me as I look around my space that needs refreshing. Since there's not much I can do beyond planning my buried garden I am energized to play indoors.
I found a website source for artwork on a large wall in my dining room (I'm leaning towards Renoir's still life strawberries) that sees lots of light. I'm worried about it fading with that much light. I have a west-facing sliding door, double east-facing windows and a door and the south is an open archway leading into the step-up kitchen. This is a converted breezeway between the house and garage, in fact the wall I seek to fill is on the garage wall with a solid access door, so a lot of vibration. The ceiling is vaulted and I am also considering adding wallpaper to the top half for interest. As you, Linda, I need to be aware of expenses because my pockets are shallow.
Stewart, do you have an assistant? I'm enjoying the different camera angles. I know at least one is stationery. I'm liking the channel's new look.
I was happy to hear JOhn say we want it to look Linda Vater. Because, I must say, I am worried you will not keep the Linda Vater look all of us followers love and associate with you. The house is a huge change , please don't lose your unique style too. I do think having an outlet on the mantel is great to maybe add a brass picture light over your wonderful focal painting for a soft glow at night
Great idea
You can use brown kraft paper to cut out the size of everything you wanna hang and it’ll give you an idea of your layout
Most important....
It is your home..you have fabulous ideas...with John, it is a win win..
The bookshelves are fantastic and show so well in the new house..you and John are perfect together excitlng..❤
As a retired Interior Designer, Jon has given you invaluable advice. I always told clients "it's your home, but I won't let you make a mistake".
TVs on above fireplaces began in Calif where there are no mantels and very low fireplaces. Doesn't translate to most homes across the US. Also TVs on walls/arms remind me of hospital rooms - ugh!
Love the idea of mud room the under window - otherwise it's wasted space. I also thought of you doing a Dutch door...
When you do new windows here, you have the opportunity to add some softness by adding dead hang drapery (stationary side panels) and a Hunter Douglas type silhouette shade - it has veins between a shade that have varying degrees of opacity. This allows you to watch a movie during the day when your family is home, or watch the big game during the day while getting rid of the glare.
When not in use, the whole thing disappears into a head rail. There are tons of color and textures to choose from. Jon can show you examples. It can be motorized like your bath shade.
I love weighing in on design, however this channel (and others) has become a dating site (not with our usual bunch) and a site for scams (we are all aware of these) and makes me not want to comment.
I was actually shouting the word "BANQUETTE" while you were touring your new kitchen a few vids ago...
Can't wait for more!!
Linda and John, What a team! I’m so grateful to be able to share this ride with you.
Can’t wait to see every room as it progresses. FUN!!!
Love everything especially the idea of the framed maps on your white walls. The windows in your great room are perfect for topiaries.
Thanks for all the enjoyment you share. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love the bookcases behind the couch now. I don’t love the tv on that table but I love that table.
Linda, thank you for such a great channel. I love gardening, thrifting, fashion, and home decor and mixing and matching all together. You do a great job of intertwining it all and showing us how each relates to the other. One thing you’ve mentioned in a couple videos lately is not purchasing an expensive or long term item based on an activity that is infrequent or may not happen at all. That was one thing my Mother taught me, but I found myself searching for a large dining table before the holidays and didn’t find what I wanted. I was sure I needed a large table for my family to sit at for holiday dinners two or three times a year. I really don’t have the extra space to walk around a large table every day. Remembering my Mothers motto, I purchased an 8’ folding table. I added a silencer, Moms linen table cloth and beautiful decor in the center. It worked perfectly! I can keep my round table in my dining area the rest of the time. I’m glad you’ve reminded us of this motto, too. Thank you.
I love the tropical green your putting into the room. Green is the color of life!
It’s so neat watching your new home take shape! You & your amazingly talented network of friends always brighten my day.
Linda I have the dark furniture on the white and love it! I think it gives warmth plus coolness at the same time. John I love your home and garden with the blue and white which is a love of mine also. Both of you are giving me lots of inspiration to chop and change, mix and match. Thankyou guys, wonderful 💚🌳
I love Johns house from the tour you’ve done. He really knows how to make one’s home theres. He has great style and I can’t wait to watch what the two of you come up for your new home.
I love it! And John's suggestions for the boot tray under a long table are genius! Its not like all your boots will be stored there, but they will need to sit in that boot tray after being outside. I love the chair there, I love the coat rack. I love the antlers on the wall, and I am so looking forward to seeing those maps on the tv wall. I love the idea of a book table, but putting the TV on the wall slightly higher may be too high for viewing pleasantly. Its all coming together, simply beautiful!!!
Also, I know you want to make a table out of your iron and glass coffee table, but would it work in this room, and then you can pile books up on it. Just an idea. Yes watching again.... ;)
I am so glad that you moved the TV to the wall as John suggested. The area looks so much lighter and larger with the bookcases in the back of the room . I can not wait to see how you will design the wall around the television.
John is such a lovely calm and talented man. I really enjoy listening to him. He is so knowledgeable and gifted in design .
I also love Dutch Doors , they are not only wonderfully functional but charming as well .
Just be patient folks; this beautiful home will evole into a lovely peaceful retreat for sure!
PS
I have decorated it three times myself while watching LV introduce us to all it's beauty!!
I loved you showing the "old" clip of Linda planting up the horizontal barrel! I had never seen that video and I love the finished look!
Good evening Linda! Love your mix of light and dark, old and new, plus the earthy and organic feel of your den! I’m a fan of gallery walls, too, and look forward to seeing yours as well as John’s gallery wall on your next visit with him! Thank you for sharing your new house journey! 💕
Everything is coming along beautifully. Thanks for allowing your RUclips audience for following along. I was thinking that maybe clearing out or partially clearing out a cubby in your bookcase, close to the back door, might be a workable area for your husband to drop his keys, etc.
Linda, I would slide the bookshelf to the left towards the light switch, because the coat rack in crouding the door & mount the TV highter on the wall & move the TV table infront of the window, even if you have to shorten the legs a little to keep gardening stuff under. Maybe include shelving under it. Or not. Lee
The gallery wall is going to be fantastic....cant wait! Love the way the room looks now.
Dark and even different darks are some how comforting to me with whiteish couches. It adds a warmth.
Two minds are better than one! Having someone to bat around ideas.
It is so educational to watch you go through this process. The conversations between you and John are golden. I know you are making a home that will be a lovely nest for you and hubs. Thanks for taking us on this new season of adventure.
I would still like to see the tv off of the library table. Hang it as part of the gallery wall with your black and white photos and maps. Would be very nice.
As I have told my son throughout the years when he asked me what I thought of an idea he had, my response was usually “nothing is written in stone” if you decide against it later you can go a different direction. Just follow your dreams and see where they will take you. No harm no foul.
Love John ! He is sooo. Interesting! Everything is coming together, Linda! You are doing a great job!👏👏👏❤️🥰
I absolutely love the gallery wall idea and keeping it an organic design. I’m loving your journey in your “Storybook Cottage”.
So much fun to watch all your decisions and practical changes.
Tip for sticking or stuck wooden drawer. Once you get it open, take it out all the way and use a bar of soap and rub it on the areas that glide on each other both on the bottom of the drawer, and on the base of which the drawer moves along. It will move like butter afterwards. I have always used ivory soap bars, but I believe any kind of soap will do as long as it’s a bar of soap.
I hope that you mount the TV to the wall sneak the cords down the wall into the wall so you don’t see anything getting it higher up off the table, allowing you to use more of your table
Do love the book shelves on the opposite wall of the fireplace to balance the room. John was right! I also like the added idea of the map/picture wall around the TV to warm up the large white wall and cozy up the room even further.
Love your new house even more every time I see it! Each thing you have done is to perfection! John seems wonderful to work with in gathering your amazing ideas and supporting your vision as you create a home that reflects the things you and Jamie love. Stewart makes it so much fun for all of us to enjoy as he weaves his magic through the videography. You have assembled a great team with you in the lead. I find myself wishing for new posts every day!
