Your living room is beautiful and inviting. I also love that collected English style with mixed patterns, and I have also binged watched many of the channels you showed! They are great for inspiration. Nice job of recreating that with budget friendly decor.
I love LOVE the leather ottoman! It gives a masculine touch that really goes well with the patterns in this room. It's all so very beautiful. I have loved watching your style evolve over the years!
I love how you so cleverly pull all your finds together in such a beautiful style. That is something that actually can be very hard to achieve. You have totally nailed it.
It is so fun to thrift, because it does allow you to redecorate on a budget, and when you're ready for a refresh, there is no guilt about changing things out. One tip -- I use Annie Sloan's chalk paint, which goes over any surface without stripping the wood. For anything really chippy, a light sand in those spots will help smooth it out if you don't want to notice where the chips were. The paint can be antiqued as well, so it gives it a vintage look and it's not so flat looking. The antiquing medium helps to cover the chips under the paint. I've used this method many times on pieces that I have where it just needs a new color!
You have such a great eye and a great guy! What he did with those three plain bookcases is absolutely fabulous! The two of you have created a lovely home to raise your family in!
The leather ottoman was a perfect touch! I absolutely love your living room. It looks so warm and cozy, but curated like you said you look. It looks like you took your time and found the things you love. It's just lovely!
I grew up in a very large home with the style you have perfectly emulated. You’ve given me great ideas on how I can have this in my much smaller (and loved) space. So love your grounded timeless style.
Love the flag arrangement and those curtain rods! I have to go back and watch how your husband put together the bookcases. The before to the after is just incredible!
You've done such a great job. Your home should reflect you, and it certainly is a great example of tranquility and warmth. And your frugality is such a great example of what can be done without over- spending.
As always I love the little changes you made to your living room area. I have to mention the candle on the shelf...my dad, who was a fireman for many years, came to visit me at my first home many years ago and noticed I had a candle burning on a shelf. He told me that although the top shelf may seem far enough away from the candle it can still get very hot and start a fire. I touched the bottom of the top shelf and sure enough it was very hot. I still burn candles but not on shelves anymore and no where near curtains or other items that can accidentally be blown into the flame. Love your videos and your content.
I think the ottoman looks so much better then the table. I always thought it didn't match with the rest of the room. You have great taste and you inspire me .😊
You blow my mind with 4 little ones how you do all this diy Hilary, your so good at it, the new ottoman in front of the couch is just perfect with, i can’t believe a nearly one year old 😳, loved all the updates, looks colourful and cosy xx
Hilary, you never disappoint! I love all the subtle summer updates especially the wrap around curtain rod and the tufted ottoman. They blend perfectly in your living room. And, I can't believe Jude is a year old, how times flies! I'll check out the House and Garden link, maybe I'll get some good "Hilary" ideas for my living room. Have a lovely happy summer day dear friend! 🌻💖
Hi Hilary. I just love your living room. The leather ottoman is so pretty. I love it. Love how you made over the bench st your computer desk. I cant believe your baby is a year old already. Time flies. Your decorating sklills are amazing. Thanks for sharing. Take care. God Bless.
I love the drape rods. I definitely need those for my living room. Love the tufted ottoman ( especially the little casters). I guess I loved it all! The bench turned out lovely.
Your home is so lovely! You have a talent for finding and transforming such treasures. I live in Southern California and am so tired of seeing the farmhouse or beachy trend. Love your cozy , traditional, timeless RL style.
I predict that curtain rod "return style" will become more prevalent! I just bought one a couple months ago for some tailored blue/white curtains and it really adds to our den . I have LOVED watching your videos for years, Hillary! Thank you for your inspiration and great family values!
That's a great ottoman that fits into the room nicely. It's like a rite of passage for kids to smack their heads on something like the coffee table. I still have the scar over my eye where I did it as a kid. 😊
🇬🇧Love your style, we have had a similar ottoman for over 20 years and can’t imagine going back to a wooden coffee table. We keep a tray on it for a candle and coffee cups.
Oh this is perfect! I can’t ever get enough of the Classic Ralph Lauren style . As soon as I see a riding horse picture, leather, and florals I feel at home. I’ve been on the hunt for trophies, vintage hunting dog pics, and the classic tapestry rug for my home❤️
Everything you’ve done just ties together perfectly! Thank you for sharing your inspiration channel. I just bought a house this week after a year of searching so I’ll be looking for ideas!
You nailed the American classic look if RL. (I noticed your candle had a big flame...a little tip: trim the wick before lighting it and won't have such a big flame.)
Everything looks so cozy and lovely! I have been obsessed with House and Garden videos too...especially Flora Soames and her country cottage. The English country house style is my favorite!
Hillary, I love your home and your channel and you. You are such a sweet person and an encouragement and inspiration to me. Would love to meet you someday ❤️
I love that curtain rod, it is different on the ends and looks beautiful with your curtains. The bigger flags look awesome in the tarnished vase. Your home always looks lovely. Thank you.
I love House & Garden U tube channel too. As well as. afew others.....wonderful job on your home. I love your channel and creativity. I love textiles and classic items too...antiques....vintage....curate slowly and make it your own home. I'm the same way too...I"m glad I foundyour channe. I alos love Stone Cottage Home with Rachel. Thank you
I love love love what you've done. I, too, love the same style. Collected over time. Thank you for your inspiration and positive channel. You're the best.
your house has a character. you fix your house and it is so much beautiful it is one of the most beautiful houses i saw with old things . and it doesnt seem old things .you a very beautiful home. if you want to do a big project please please do the sun room and the living room one room an built in one side the proper wall and in the. other side to rhe dech a wall with the doors for the deck.balcony doors . it think the house its going to be more beautiful and you will have a lot of space too
Hillary you always inspire me. And I love your lovely home and family! And a brilliant tip regarding the plastic and pipe cleaners. I refinish furniture and the tips will help me out!
Everything looks so beautiful Hilary! I loved your coffee table but the ottoman really fits in so well; it's a gorgeous piece. You did a great job on the bench! Your decorating style is so classic and timeless. I enjoy all of your content but your home decor videos are my favorite❤️
It's looking great in there and I love the ottoman. You have very similar style to me which makes your videos even more interesting to watch. I live in England but am obsessed with New England. I've been five times from the UK - from Boston, right through and up to Maine (my favourite area) but not since I had my son 12 years ago. I'm itching to get back as soon as I can and so the New England parts of your channel are lovely to watch.
What an amazing find with that leather ottoman. Totally fits your RL feel and vibe. It is a classic masculine RL visual. Also I feel your floral curtains ,and small touches like the floral bench cover and lamp shades on the built ins, are the perfect amount. Looks classic without being to fussy. Love this room whir just gets better and better!
I did not know there are return rods for ring top curtains. Will be ordering one this weekend for the blackout curtains in my family room as the straight rod is frustratingly revealing the light. Love how your bench turned out and the new ottoman. Just this morning I filled a vase with baby's breath and a handful of U.S. flags; the sharp eyed may also pick out the single Union Jack as a nod to my mom who was a WW II British War Bride.😆
Great idea to use the pipe cleaner! You have such a knack to make everything look at welcoming and beautiful! Love that curtain rod! Hugs from Missouri 🤗 ❤️.
Hillary, First off I have been meaning to tell you how great you look. Your hair and face just glow! I also love the flags displayed that way. I did the same in my livingroom with a large branch from a burning bush in an antique silver vase and placed it in fron of my large window and it was breathtaking!
You’ve captured classic Ralph Lauren style beautifully, while reflecting your own curated finds and treasures. Very impressive!
Your living room is beautiful and inviting. I also love that collected English style with mixed patterns, and I have also binged watched many of the channels you showed! They are great for inspiration. Nice job of recreating that with budget friendly decor.
I love LOVE the leather ottoman! It gives a masculine touch that really goes well with the patterns in this room. It's all so very beautiful. I have loved watching your style evolve over the years!
Hadn’t thought of it that way but I totally agree 💞
I was going to say the same thing Laurie!
LOVE the pitcher filled with American flags. Such a beautiful room!!!!
It is so refreshing to see a younger person love something other than all white. The stool turned out perfectly.
Just found your channel and I just love the tufted leather ottoman...nothing beats a classic!!!💜
So glad you’re here! Thank you 💞
You nailed it. Ralph would be proud.
After all these years, you're still my favorite channel. Always so inspiring, beautiful & entertaining. I love how it makes me feel.
Ah thank you so much Geri 💞

Hilary, your living room is so warm, inviting and cozy! You've really curated a wonderfully vibrant space.
I love the idea of collecting things for your home and having the stories be a part of those collectibles. Many thanks!
I grew up in a very large home with the style you have perfectly emulated. You’ve given me great ideas on how I can have this in my much smaller (and loved) space. So love your grounded timeless style.
Love the flag arrangement and those curtain rods! I have to go back and watch how your husband put together the bookcases. The before to the after is just incredible!

That ottoman is just perfect in the space! I love the juxtaposition of the masculine leather with the feminine florals. You are very talented, Hilary!
Beautiful space! I worry about that big flame on the candle and the shelf above it.
Your home is delightful- a haven! I absolutely love every detail!
I too love the house and garden videos. Thanks for sharing your lovely room
