  • My new home Tour and how I decorated on a tight budget for a home in 2023. I have six rooms to decorate and am trying to respect the 1939 Cape Cod-style cottage. I found thrift stores!!! So much happened this week~ I painted and placed new furniture, planned my gardens, bought new appliances, and just took a breather to live this new life in a new city! I have so many questions for you this week! What should I do with the window treatments!!!?
    Much of the cottage home is not done but Desi is back doing his Yoga and I am back feeling that the sky is the limit as to what I can achieve.
    Do we love things because they are perfect? Or do we love things because of when perhaps they could be?
    Thank you Debra and Trish for thinking of me...thank you to all of you that continue to wish Desi and I good luck in our new city. You make us stronger and braver. We all are faced with two roads and perhaps the road not taken is our path to a better life...
    Please know how much we love you!
    Love you to the moon and back,
    xxoo Susan & The Desi

      The happy in your eyes and in Desi’s body language…very heartwarming❤️ your home is beautiful + cozy but most importantly, you’re exactly where you’ve wanted to be- close to your son and his family🥰 I’m so very happy for you, Susan. As for window coverings, I’d probably choose pleated blinds that can be raised and lowered; I had fabric + lace ones in my older home many years ago and they were perfect for the cozy cottage feel💗

      Hi little poet 🙂 I've enjoyed watching your channeI for a few months now & shed a few tears of joy for you & Desi when I watched your latest video. You both look so happy! Your new home is wonderful & what you've achieved in such a short space of time is amazing. l love your kitchen cupboards but think the yellow & gold idea would be perfect 👌.As for dressing the windows something similar to your new chairs in a light linen maybe ? I'm sure whatever you choose will be lovely. I wish you every happiness in your new home & many hours of fun with your Grandchildren! Special hugs for you & Desi (he's so adorable) love Jayne (from Frinton on sea , England)🤗 XX

    Susan, tuning into your vlog is like listening to a dear friend share her soul with me. I have learned so much listening to you. Today is a special day, my husband died 9 years ago and yet it was devastating in the beginning but now I can look back and see the life that I’ve been able to carve out for myself. I am 75 yrs old this year and I have some health issues but I can do it alone with the support from family and friends. So happy to add you to my playlist and hope you have a great week. ❤

Like magic! And he always done them ever since that day! When we go outside for a walk around our house, he begins his leg by doing his stretches.
      I just love your new house! I have to say, about your window treatments, I don’t have any cloth at my windows, l have thought about any sheer fabric but so far I only have nice white blinds. My woodwork is white through out. The rooms are all painted in a neutral that suits each room. You are going to love living in this little town.

      You are doing a great job!

    Desi steals my heart every time, especially with his bow ties. For windows, how about white flowing curtains hung from a curtain rod at ceiling height. It will make your windows look bigger, your room will look bigger and the curtains will add softness and elegance which also describes you. You're doing great. Keep going.

I can see the joy that you feel as you look at the potential lurking around every corner in the house. It's the perfect project for your talents. Seeing Desi in the backyard with his neighbor friends is living a dream that you have had for him for so long. Your happiness is truly overflowing and the house feels like a safe and loving place that will be felt by anybody entering it. I feel like your most authentic self is going to find its true expression in this place.

    I love, love, love your kitchen cabinets and would not touch them. I love your chairs, all of them! Such a nice "french cottage" type of look. I'm going for the same look you have as I restart my life alone at 68. I absoloutel LOVED you new mantra, and I promised myself , and you, that I would live by it. Don't look at the flaws in my life, but look at what I can do with my life to make it beautiful, just as you did you gorgeous french cottage! Just love it and you are so darn beautiful, both inside and out! Thank you for being such a postive inspiration in my life!

  • @laurabennett7366

    For window treatments consider top down blinds. That way you have light from the top and privacy on the bottom. These blinds also give you options so if another configuration works, then you can do that too. Only way to go! Your home is lovely and cheerful, these blinds will keep it light-filled .

    • @dig1272

      I think I agree with you. I was thinking really pretty oatmeal or white billowy light curtains that go to the floor but they might be too dominating in the spaces and she has Desi and grandkids so they might be difficult to wash and care for. Maybe she could do curtains in her bedroom or only in the dining room (for elegance)but do the top down type shades elsewhere? Whatever she does I think it'll look gorgeous!

      Since you have a blue couch & blue in the rug, I'd leave the kitchen blue. Edit your kitchen accessories & look for some yellow pieces . The house is wonderful ~ kinda hate for you to cover the windows in any light blocking way. Some type of decorative blind that could be lowered at night would be my suggestion. Heartwarming to see Desi among the forgetmenots, making friends with his neighbors. So glad that after difficult years you have your heart's desire of a house & your grandchildren nearby.🤗

I love seeing Desi claiming HIS backyard…. it’s so precious. Susan, you have decorated your house absolutely perfectly. It honestly looks like something in Homes and Gardens. I think your windows would look beautiful with white shutters. They wouldn’t over power the room and they really would give the room the finished touch without taking away from anything else. You could open and close them as needed. Just close your eyes and visualize what they would look like. I think they would continue that cottage feel you are wanting to keep.
    I am so happy for you and it’s going to be fun watching what you do with the office and the yard…. I know it will be perfect.

    Your kitchen cabinets are such a gorgeous blue....I hope you never change them. But of course that is your decision! I need to make the decision of weather to paint my red brick fireplace. Such a hard decision because my wonderful now deceased husband helped build it. He has been gone almost 17 years but decisions are still very hard for me. He was my second husband and I loved him with all my heart....he was a true treasure. So glad Desi has made some doggie friends....that is wonderful. My sister just put up cotton crinkle (almost beach like) curtains on a rod in her home. She said it was a temporary fix but now.....after so many good comments...she is keeping them. She has wonderful windows and she can open the curtains each morning so easily....and let all the beautiful sun and breezes in. Before she had blinds and this is so much better. Take your time and don't rush your decisions ...your windows are so beautiful too. Congratulations.. everything looks so fabulous and inviting. Your grandchildren sound so beyond precious. You are one lucky lady....and we are so very lucky to know you.
