How have I never run into this channel before? What a gem. I raised my daughter alone as a single father and we thrift and antiqued all the time! Today, my daughter is a woman who I konw can survive anywhere because she has learned the value of the hunt. Pray about it, do your best, and keep going. Those are my three! Excuse me while I take the next few hours to watch every single video on this channel. This is good stewardship of our resources! Merry Christmas, one and all. Wise men still seek Him. -Dave
Kristen, your home is so beautiful, cozy and so peaceful. You really do a wonderful job in your decorating and I love how you incorporate God in what you do and he makes our paths clear. 🥰
I really appreciate this message. I absolutely could improve on not caring about what others think when what God thinks is all that matters. I love the simplicity of your decor. You are an inspiration.
Sweet Kristen! This has got to be one of my favorite videos that I’ve watched of yours so far. Your home is truly a loving tribute to your values and faith. I actually sat here with tears in my eyes wishing I could tell you how proud I am of your stand to be all that the Lord has created you to be. I felt like I was not only invited into your lovely home but into your inner circle of sisters….. especially in Christ! Praying that the Lord continues to bless your endeavors. Keep sharing my sweet friend. You’re making a difference in this crazy uncertain time. God bless you sweet friend! Debbie from Michigan.
Debbie, I resonate with & so appreciate your comment for Kristen! ~Couldn’t resist letting you know that I feel the same way! Since my comment didn’t convey these sentiments well, I was thrilled to see that yours did! ~Sisters-in-Christ!… That is how I feel about Kristen & the hope for this community! P.S. I too, live in Michigan! JOYful Monday! ❤️🙏🏼
Kristen, as a 60 year old Christian woman I want to say that your home and especially your words have really blessed me and inspired me!🥰 I teally appreciate watching a video with spiritual substance. Im going back to take notes and highlight the verses. And the prayer at the end was AMAZING. God bless all your future efforts and endeavors. Your sister from Vermont, Suzanne.❤🌲🍂🍁
Kristen, you are a precious woman of God and you truly do not need the approval of anyone but Him so I am proud you are beginning to realize that. Your home is lovely and I love older homes with curated thrifted finds and you have a house full of those so I am really enjoying your channel. I pray your channel continues to grow so you can take good care of those three babies and husband well during this difficult economic times. It costs us nothing to watch your videos but does a lot to support you so I pray you get many more subscribers.
I was able to afford to furnish my home because of the inspiration you gave, the treasures you shared, the value you found in what others would often find valueless. Girl, you have all the acceptance you could ever want or need from this fan-one who values the Lord and family! You showcased that a beautiful home could come from pieces of discarded items in the Goodwill Bins, when loved and brought back to life within the walls of your home! I thank God that you brought back the creativity in my life! Beautiful home, beautiful life. Blessings to you xx
A comfy and inviting home is sooo much more desirable than a professionally decorated but cold home. You do a really terrific job. Don’t ever apologize for your financial status , remembering you have so much more than millions of people in this world I think you have a beautiful home.
Kristen, your home is just lovely. You should be very very proud of yourself. I have watched you for about a year now and how you have grown and applied what you have learned and have displayed it so well. I enjoy you and your beautiful family. Good luck and keep up the good work.
Let me tell you a lot of your contemporaries have curated beautiful homes. You all have a similar style, but your finds and treasures are very very unique. Your placement of accessories in cabinets is special to you as well as the furniture and things you have found. You have a special touch.
I love that you put your white couches back. Everything is so beautiful. I love your style. I get inspiration from you, not only decorating, but trusting in GOD. I have been going through the same thing, but with people in my life. I only need GOD’s approval. I want to overflow with his love and grace for me.
That was an unexpected & powerful message, Kristen. I appreciate so much that you don’t let the fear of disapproval keep you from speaking from your heart.
Kristen, your home is so cozy and so inviting. As you age you’ll get better at not compairing yourself to others. Following God‘s plan for your life raising your girls and sharing his love with others goes beyond measure. I love your channel and love to see what you do with thrift items, you’re a doll keep doing what you do best and don’t compare yourself with others.
I was thinking the same thing as I listened to her! I am in my 60s and, although I still love it when people compliment me on my home or a specific thing about me that they admire, I am not nearly as concerned about what others think as I did when I was younger. It is so much more important to be in relationship with the Lord, pleasing and obeying Him, and valuing family. Blessings!❤
Kristen, never doubt yourself. I find myself in awe of the unique gallery walls that you created.. The quail and pheasant birds through out the house. One thing I saw was the lady feeding the chicken picture and it was so appropriately placed..Not to mention your personality and smile that brings us excited for the next venture you have in store for us!
You have an immense talent for making your house look so warm, inviting and cozy. I want to come over and have a cup of tea and just take in all the vintage beauty! You bless others with your thoughts on our Creator. Very inspiring. Thank you for what you do
I have raised my child and I am old enough to be your mother. While I do enjoy your thrifting and decorating, I am at the age where I want more out of my house than in. So, the reason I thoroughly enjoy and look forward to your channel is because you love the Lord. You are giving women, young and old, the truth of the living God and our need to walk in His goodness and love. You are not afraid to speak out what you believe and I truly believe that if it ever came to God or your channel, God would win. It gives me hope in this worldly world, that there are young women like you, willing to share Jesus with others. I see that God is using you share your creative mind and style. God bless you, your ministry and your lovely family.
We were just in the Omaha/Bennington area last week-end visiting our grandchildren and the tree colors were amazing!! I didn't realize how many trees the area has. I love that all the new housing developments plant so many trees. Kristen your home looks amazing. You have pulled everything together to create a beautiful, cozy home. I can imagine the laughter and giggles coming from your girls as they play about your home. I love your thoughts and words about living for Jesus and not for all the likes and approval from others. Thank you for sharing your lovely home and most importantly thank you for sharing yourself!! You are such a Godly woman who sets a wonderful example. God Bless!
You’re a superstar! You’re fall house tour is so cozy and inviting. I can’t imagine how hard it was to create with a houseful of young children and everything that goes with that! Blessings to you! ❤
Kristen, the beauty in your home reflects the beauty in you. Seeing the love, feeling the love in each room....the Holy Spirit lives within your home and within you. Many Blessings ❤
Kristen, here to reiterate what everyone has said… your home is so welcoming and beautiful. You have made your new found treasures into a home that your family can enjoy. I am always so tickled when I see the treasures your girls find and are thrilled to have versus the kids running around in Target with new toys that cannot compare. You are teaching them to truly value things of the past. It is tough to tune out outside noise and hone in to the Lords sweet still voice sometimes. The world surely tries to distract us, doesn’t it? You are an awesome woman of God which is first and foremost my reason for tuning in. Everything else is a bonus!❤
Kristen, my heart warms when I hear your heart. It can be a lifelong struggle to find a balance with seeking approval but then on the other hand, realizing that His approval of me is paramount. You are human, and the Lord knows your heart. I treasure your genuine spirit. You have a beautiful home! I have an Aunt n Uncle in Omaha, as well as several cousins and their families. God bless you and your family with strength, courage and peace. Love from Edmonton Alberta Canada.
Ok had to pause just a few seconds in. Please don't ever feel bad because you don't get the response you thought you'd get. One people watched it. Two, I watch videos when I'm doing stuff around the house and don't always have time to comment or like. I'm assuming others are like me. You are one of my favorites and to be completely honest I watch your videos over and over. You have inspired this 51 year old to make my home make me happy. So if your home makes you happy, you're the winner. Love ya!!
Kristen, be who God created you to be. Nothing could be more beautiful than that!! Your life reflects the love of our Lord, your talent in making a home full of love and being just you!!! God bless you and know He has you in His arms always!!..love to see your home and see your joy each week!!❤
You are amazing and I love your channel. I am 64 and live in Vermont. You devotion to our Lord shines through in everything you do. Your heart is in the right place and the Lord knows this. Don't condemn yourself for being who you are. All we can do is strive to improve and love others. Thank you for the beautiful fall tour, your home is perfect.
Kristen, your home is beautiful. Loved your testimony. Many people suffer from exactly the same thing. God will bless those who honor him. Keep up the good work. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for the hardwork put into your home projects each week for us to enjoy and be motivated by ...so good to know and be reminded that our joy and affirmation comes only from God. Appreciate you and thank you for the prayer xxxx
Hi Kristen. Thanks for the Fall tour. Your home and your decorating is just beautiful. I just love everything. Your gallery walls are so lovely. I love all your cupboards and hutches. I love how God is a major part of you and your sweet families' life. You are just so blessed. I just love your channel. God Bless You and Your Family. Take Care.
Kristen the details in your home are amazing!!! The love with each and every piece that you have chosen is perfect!!!!!! Don’t ever sale yourself short of your talents. Thank you for the pray. I feel the same way with my channel. I’ll do a video for 20 minutes and the analytics show the viewers only watched five minutes! I know a lot of my viewers watch the hold video. It’s great to see your passion for intentional living! Thank you so much for sharing ❤ Your fall tour was the BEST I’ve seen in a while 🍁 And I’m going to watch it again!!!!!🥰
Your home is so genuinely welcoming! I love all that you've done! Each piece of decor is a testament to God's provision. Your placement of each piece of decor is a testament of your gratitude for His provision and of your love for your family. You have truly created a home for those you love!
Thank you Kristen for sharing your amazing fall home tour. You have done an absolutely wonderful job decorating but you never disappoint in my opinion. Thanks again
I love all of the dried flowers, grasses, gourds, etc. and how they tie into the neutral colours throughout your home. I find it very calming. Hugs and warm thoughts for the struggles you speak of. 🤗
You obviously have a God given talent for taking antiques and thrift store finds and turning them into a cozy, magazine worthy home. When I was working, in hindsight, I had that need for approval. Not so much anymore, thank goodness. Keep doing what you're doing. I believe you're on the right path. ❤
I love your home and have learned a lot about thrifting. You have a gift for decorating and knowing what works together. Also I’m so happy that you and your husband are Christians and raising your children in a home that believes in Christ. Love to you and your beautiful family 😊
I live in a 162 yr old home! Oh- the work that goes into keeping these antique beauty’s looking pretty ! You do a wonderful job with yours! It looks like what a warm loving hug feels like ❤. The prayer at the end…. PERFECT!
What I love about your video is that it is genuine. You’ve opened up your home for others to see and admire. I love watching videos of other women’s homes. Our homes are a reflection of our personalities. I get the feeling that you are a old soul. I love all the vintage detail in your decor. I love looking at other women’s kitchens. It’s my favorite room in every house ❤️ It’s where I spend most of my time 😊
Thank-you for representing our Lord in a world where consumerism is goal. I love your channel because of you know where your blessings come from and you give Him praise. ❤
Everything is so beautiful! I appreciate all the hard work it takes to bring all of us in for such a gorgeous tour . I loved that you talked during the your .🍁🍂🍁
😭💗 So I recently started a new job as a cook at a child care center. I took the job with excitement and passion to nourish children and teachers with healthy nourishing foods but I quickly felt overwhelmed, disappointed and unappreciated by some of the teachers. I am the only Christian at my work. I and a sister from church have been praying for the staff and the children and have seen some wonderful changes but I have been struggling with seeking approval and appreciation from coworkers instead of relying on God to give me strength and peace. It is a battle of my flesh wanting to belong and be accepted but I know in my heart this is not my home. I must rely upon and share God’s love and grace daily so that God will be glorified. Thank you for your prayer, honesty and truth sister Kristen! 💗
Your home looks so amazing & cozy! I love that vintage fruit picture & the amber color vintage dish with the cream pumpkin in it! Decorating is a God given gift & you girl have it! Your such a blessing! ❤
In case you’d like to know…When I am most moved by you is when you are real about what did and didn’t work out, your authenticity, your prayers or scriptures are just right( not preachy), your passion and great taste in decor, but most of all when you are silly and goofy as you are with your fellow RUclipsrs. The fun part of you is what moves me to not be so serious in my own life. 💞
Your home looks so beautiful and so well put together! It gives very homey vibes and I love that 🏡 🤎 I also love all the vintage and antique touches! Great job! 👏🏼 😍
Dear Kristin. Your home is just right the way it is! It’s beautiful!! So warm, cozy, and inviting. I had three little ones very close in age. Looking back, there is no way I could have accomplished what you have and do. God is with you every step of the way. Please, just continue honoring Him with your channel, and the growth will come! ~Cathy
I love your style and the warm, rich elements you used. I have never heard anyone present the gospel with such grace and beauty. If I lived nearby I would swing by and visit! Blessings to you fellow sister in Christ ❤
Please don’t stress about content and likes. This job as you call it should be fun and make you happy. The reason your follows love your content is because you keep it real!!! We don’t live the lives like the youtubers who have the perfect homes, we know that is not real. You are still young, once you turn 40 or even 50 you will not feel the need to seek approval by others. We waste so much time doing that. Sending happiness your way💖🌺🌼🌷
Your home is beautiful! Gorgeously decorated! I love how you presented the video with pulled back shots of the whole room and then close ups of the details. Happy Fall! ❤
Kristen, thank you for home inspiration ideas!!! I love how you are giving old unwanted things such as paintings, baskets, coffee mugs etc. a second chance. I often see those items and think how beautiful they are yet don’t know how to incorporate them in my decor. I feel confident now thanks to you. Thank you for suggesting the book “She Works His Way”. Sounds like a great book to read and definitely plan on reading it. For many reasons this time of year is so hard for many people emotionally and mentally and staying positive is a challenge. So any and all encouragement to give and receive helps all of us. Thank you again and keep up the good work!!!
Remember this is your home!! If it makes you feel Happy then you have achieve what your set out to do❤❤ Your home is beautiful!!! God comes first!! Bless you,your family and your home !!!! ❤
Kristen, thank you for your sweet testimony and hospitality. We do need to focus on the Lord so much more than the people we are trying to please. Remember, when you wake up in the morning, you are a daughter of a King and live that day accordingly. His love, Deb (xoxTX)
I love your home and tour, it is a beautiful place. When I was about 11 my parents moved into an old house like this and your home brings back so many memories, thank you. I am now 70+ and your love for God is so wonderful.
Every nook and cranny of your home is so pretty and cozy, and looks like it could be in a magazine. I love that you're a Christian and include Scripture and godly wisdom and encouragement! It's clear your family and household serve the Lord.
Wow Kristen, your home is so beautiful, cozy and inviting. I love, love, love the way you honor our Lord and Savior on your channel. He is so deserving of our praise and worship. May He bless you and your family as you continue to live for Him and His glory! God bless you❤
Your channel is a lovely, calming and godly relief in the midst of the chaotic world of YT and beyond. Your home is so welcoming and gracious and it’s an absolute delight to hear your kind and friendly voice sharing scripture and encouragement. Blessings from 🇨🇦❤!
Kristen. Thank you for your honesty and sharing your faith journey. My Dad who is now in heaven used to say he was a work in progress and that “He’s still workin on me” was a real thing. It is. We all have our “things”. Thank you for this video and all that you create. Your home is lovely and seems filled with love. I say this to you, myself, and any others that need this too. Be kind to yourself.
Thank you for sharing your heart, your home, your faith and family!! It is a wonderful blessing!!!!❤️Your genuineness shines through!!! In such a short time you have made that house a treasured home!
Your home is so beautiful. Your furniture makes my heart flutter 😊 and knowing how much you thrift is impressive. Thank you for all the work and prayer you put into your home and life. Thank you for sharing it.
Kristin that prayer was absolutely beautiful! I love your channel. I look so forward to you uploads! I pray that it will continue to grow for you, and I love you and so many other RUclipsrs use this platform not only for yourselves, but to glorified the goodness of our Lord Jesus Christ! In a world full of chaos as believers, we find our peace and God, and then Him alone! Please keep those videos coming. I absolutely love to watch your channel. May the Lord always bless and keep y’all safe
I enjoy your channel so much!!! Your home is beautiful and cozy. Even though I'm a 75 year old grandma and widow I still want approval...it's human nature. Thank you for bringing your faith and readings into your video!!! God Bless you❤
You put a lot of heart and soul into your decorating! U have some crocks down in my basement that I need to clean out and I want to get some dry hydrangeas to put in them.
Hi Kristen.. your house is so beautiful. I thought I had an over abundance of Fall decor..you have more. Our house is small. I know a little 0f how you feel. A lot of people are minamalists and have quit decorating for the seasons. One year I did a little poll on jow many people dont decorate for Christmas..I coukd not believe people who thought it was useless, too much work etc. I want to celebrate Jesus birthday . I feel like decorating but putting our Savior first is a welcoming act. Thanks for being proud of your faith and admitting sometimes after all the work we do feel like we want some likes.. I just want a like in person from people who come to my house 😂, but I have to realize it may not be there thing. I remember one year a guy telling me he woukd never want his wife to decorate the kitchen. That is the only big room in our house so it is the most decorated. Thank you for the tour and the beautiful readings. Your flowers did well. Make sure when your flowers die out you keep your seeds. Much love ❤
We love your content Kristen! Keep sharing real life with us girl. RUclips and the world needs more people like you who aren’t ashamed to share the Gospel! ❤
Upon hearing this soul-satisfying message, we need to remind ourselves daily; that only what the LORD, GOD approves of is what really matters. This is why I follow your channel. Your home is so beautiful, but your GOD glorifying message keeps us coming back for more. My daughter and I love your content; making your beautiful home budget-friendly, but we especially love your humor which makes us feel so relatable. What a special gift you are to us. Thank you for honoring our Abba, Father. Many blessings to you and your family.
That passage you read is perfect. Please read it as many times as you need to. You are enough without the approval of your followers. You are beautiful, you have a lovely home, and a wonderful family and I’m sure you have the Lord’s approval. ❤❤
I actually love that you waited for the fall season before giving your tour. It does seem more authentic than people who are doing it in July and August. Let us viewers savour each season ourselves. Just the first scene ... a dog, an American flag, and a tire swing hanging from the tree. Seriously... does it getting any more home town than that! I do feel for you vloggers, as likes and subscribers equal approval which equals a lucrative channel. So even without intentionally needing approval, it is a requirement for a successful channel. Its just the nature of the business. But just don't compare what you have, how you style, what you thrift with others. God made us each unique people with our own visions. Follow your vision, your heart and your family's needs and comfort. Then your home will always be beautiful.
Totally enjoying you and your beautiful home. Your content is honest, fun and warm. I’m 71 years old and feel that we could sit down with a cup of coffee and your home would wrap me in a hug.
I love that you did your Fall home tour later and didn’t jump right into Christmas yet. So many of us like to enjoy each season without rushing to the next one. Your home is lovely and looks very cozy.
Kristen, everytime I watch your videos I think I am looking at a celebrity or model 😄I enjoy your content always, but your natural beauty just shines along with your love of Jesus and your a very humble person. I just felt the need to tell you. Your home looks just lovley!
Oh, Kristen - I love your tender, sweet heart! I love the way that your journey of faith with your relationship with the Lord is such a prominent part of what you share with us! I am in my 60s and, although I still love it when people compliment me on my home or a specific thing about me that they admire, I am not nearly as concerned about what others think as when I was young. It is so much more important to be in relationship with the Lord, pleasing and obeying Him, and valuing family. I love your home and how you have decorated it. (By the way, where did you get the lovely, natural little hanging wreaths on the doors of your dining room hutch?? I would love to find some like that!) Your love for your home and family is evident in every detail in every inch. I am glad that you brought back the original sofas in your living room. Although I loved the green color of the others, they were too modern for your esthetic. And that coffee table that gave you such grief looks so good with those sofas and the rest of your decor. Be encouraged, my sister - you are doing a great job and yours is one of the only channels that I try not to miss. Blessings!❤
Im from BELFAST NORTHERN IRELAND and i just wanted to say ur home is absolutely beautiful i would love to live in ur house im really into vintage and antique u and ur husband should be so proud xxx
Kristen, thank you for your honestly and vulnerability. I will be very honest with you. I am not a religious person, but I do care about kindness and acceptance and authenticity. I just love your channel, your creative content, and your spirit, and I enjoy your humor. I believe in "bravery before perfection", and I think as women we need to hear that every day with all we do. Thank you for sharing your home and your heart.
Kristen, your home and your soul are golden. You probably never will know just how inspirational and encouraging your message was today to so many of us. You allowed our sweet Lord to speak through you in a way that surely has touched our hearts and will stay there permanently. Thank you for being so vulnerable and blessing us so so much today! Now praying that God will bless you beyond anything you ever could have imagined. Ephesians 3:20. 🩷🩷🙏🏼🙏🏼 Linda
When you feel the passion and not rely on the expectation, it just clicks. Everyone's light is unique and when you are authentic it shows. The more stress you put on yourself to meet others expectations it eventually diminishes your joy in the process.
Just what I needed to hear today. You remind me of myself 25 yrs ago. Enjoy this time with your beautiful family. Y’all are such an encouragement and always keeping it real. All for the glory of God! Thank you SO much! I know how hard you’ve worked! 🙏🏻❤️👍
Kristen, you have personal style that is so beautiful. Your way with decorating cannot be matched. One can feel the love of God and the love of family in your home. Keep true to your heart and ignore all of the jealousy.
Kristin your house is warm and welcoming. Remember we are here on this earth to please only our Father in heaven. Stay true to yourself and all will be well. God bless you and your family.
I can’t imagine the stress of being a RUclipsr/content creator. However I enjoy watching the videos and they usually bring me joy and comfort so I appreciate the time and effort you put into making them. Just keep doing what you enjoy doing and the rest will fall in place. Everything looked beautiful.
It looks nice! Great job, so glad u r getting to feeling better! I think everyone needs to remember to not judge others! We are all made in the image n likeness of god n he loves us all! Also we are all different, not everyone has the same styles, likes, tastes, etc. he broke the mold when he made each of us n blessed us with our own precious gifts, talents, creativity, ideas, n abilities, to share with others! Thank u so much for sharing your beautiful fall home tour, yes this time of year is just beautiful and looking forward to enjoying the holiday season! 😊❤️🎁💕🍁
Oh Kristen, please may I move into your beautiful home? I just love it! You have made it so warm and inviting. I bet Josh breathes a huge sigh of relief when he walks through the door each evening. He and the children will feel comforted and enveloped in your love. Thank you for sharing your home with us all throughout the world.
Kristin, I just want to let you know YOU ARE LOVED not only by our creator, but especially those of us who “snoop” in your home and family on you-tube!! I could never get my house in order enough to invite everyone in, you are BRAVE!! I am a “neighbor” of yours, live in western Iowa. Keep up the great work!!
What I like best is you numerous real plants. I'm not excited about the fake ones. What in the world happened to your green couches. I absolutely loved them!

How have I never run into this channel before? What a gem. I raised my daughter alone as a single father and we thrift and antiqued all the time! Today, my daughter is a woman who I konw can survive anywhere because she has learned the value of the hunt. Pray about it, do your best, and keep going. Those are my three! Excuse me while I take the next few hours to watch every single video on this channel. This is good stewardship of our resources! Merry Christmas, one and all. Wise men still seek Him. -Dave
Kristen, your home is so beautiful, cozy and so peaceful. You really do a wonderful job in your decorating and I love how you incorporate God in what you do and he makes our paths clear. 🥰

I really appreciate this message. I absolutely could improve on not caring about what others think when what God thinks is all that matters. I love the simplicity of your decor. You are an inspiration.
❤❤❤
I think a lot of us needed to hear this today, Kristen, not just a content creator. Your home is beautiful. ❤
Thank you so much!
Sweet Kristen! This has got to be one of my favorite videos that I’ve watched of yours so far. Your home is truly a loving tribute to your values and faith. I actually sat here with tears in my eyes wishing I could tell you how proud I am of your stand to be all that the Lord has created you to be. I felt like I was not only invited into your lovely home but into your inner circle of sisters….. especially in Christ! Praying that the Lord continues to bless your endeavors. Keep sharing my sweet friend. You’re making a difference in this crazy uncertain time. God bless you sweet friend! Debbie from Michigan.
Amen to that!❤
I agree!! Thank you, Kristin, for being so open about your faith and doing all that you do for His glory! May God bless you and keep you ❤️
Debbie, I resonate with & so appreciate your comment for Kristen! ~Couldn’t resist letting you know that I feel the same way! Since my comment didn’t convey these sentiments well, I was thrilled to see that yours did! ~Sisters-in-Christ!… That is how I feel about Kristen & the hope for this community! P.S. I too, live in Michigan! JOYful Monday! ❤️🙏🏼
Amen and amen!
Kristen, as a 60 year old Christian woman I want to say that your home and especially your words have really blessed me and inspired me!🥰 I teally appreciate watching a video with spiritual substance. Im going back to take notes and highlight the verses. And the prayer at the end was AMAZING. God bless all your future efforts and endeavors. Your sister from Vermont, Suzanne.❤🌲🍂🍁
Kristen, you are a precious woman of God and you truly do not need the approval of anyone but Him so I am proud you are beginning to realize that. Your home is lovely and I love older homes with curated thrifted finds and you have a house full of those so I am really enjoying your channel. I pray your channel continues to grow so you can take good care of those three babies and husband well during this difficult economic times. It costs us nothing to watch your videos but does a lot to support you so I pray you get many more subscribers.

I am an Interior Decorator and a very picky one and your home is so beautiful, warm and inviting, Kristen. God bless you and your beautiful family 🥰
Thank you so much!
Kristen, your home is just lovely. You should be very very proud of yourself. I have watched you for about a year now and how you have grown and applied what you have learned and have displayed it so well. I enjoy you and your beautiful family. Good luck and keep up the good work.
Thank you so much!
Let me tell you a lot of your contemporaries have curated beautiful homes. You all have a similar style, but your finds and treasures are very very unique. Your placement of accessories in cabinets is special to you as well as the furniture and things you have found. You have a special touch.

I so needed this today. I'm over here crying. 😢🙏 The world needs more of you Kristen in this world. May God continue to bless you and your family. 🙏🥰
That was an unexpected & powerful message, Kristen. I appreciate so much that you don’t let the fear of disapproval keep you from speaking from your heart.
Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!
Kristen, never doubt yourself. I find myself in awe of the unique gallery walls that you created.. The quail and pheasant birds through out the house. One thing I saw was the lady feeding the chicken picture and it was so appropriately placed..Not to mention your personality and smile that brings us excited for the next venture you have in store for us!
Kristen, every crock, vase, basket, floral and piece of furniture in your home goes so well together. It is exactly my style and I’m here for it!
Thanks so much! 😊
You have an immense talent for making your house look so warm, inviting and cozy. I want to come over and have a cup of tea and just take in all the vintage beauty! You bless others with your thoughts on our Creator. Very inspiring. Thank you for what you do
Thank you so much!
I have raised my child and I am old enough to be your mother. While I do enjoy your thrifting and decorating, I am at the age where I want more out of my house than in. So, the reason I thoroughly enjoy and look forward to your channel is because you love the Lord. You are giving women, young and old, the truth of the living God and our need to walk in His goodness and love. You are not afraid to speak out what you believe and I truly believe that if it ever came to God or your channel, God would win. It gives me hope in this worldly world, that there are young women like you, willing to share Jesus with others. I see that God is using you share your creative mind and style. God bless you, your ministry and your lovely family.
We were just in the Omaha/Bennington area last week-end visiting our grandchildren and the tree colors were amazing!! I didn't realize how many trees the area has. I love that all the new housing developments plant so many trees. Kristen your home looks amazing. You have pulled everything together to create a beautiful, cozy home. I can imagine the laughter and giggles coming from your girls as they play about your home. I love your thoughts and words about living for Jesus and not for all the likes and approval from others. Thank you for sharing your lovely home and most importantly thank you for sharing yourself!! You are such a Godly woman who sets a wonderful example. God Bless!
Isn’t it beautiful?!
Always a joy hanging out with you Kristen! Your home is beautiful! Love your decor! Ty you sharing your faith! Your heart is in the right place!❤😊
Thank you so much!
You’re a superstar! You’re fall house tour is so cozy and inviting. I can’t imagine how hard it was to create with a houseful of young children and everything that goes with that! Blessings to you! ❤
Thank you! You too!
Kristen, the beauty in your home reflects the beauty in you. Seeing the love, feeling the love in each room....the Holy Spirit lives within your home and within you. Many Blessings ❤
Wow, thank you!
Kristen, here to reiterate what everyone has said… your home is so welcoming and beautiful. You have made your new found treasures into a home that your family can enjoy. I am always so tickled when I see the treasures your girls find and are thrilled to have versus the kids running around in Target with new toys that cannot compare. You are teaching them to truly value things of the past.
It is tough to tune out outside noise and hone in to the Lords sweet still voice sometimes. The world surely tries to distract us, doesn’t it? You are an awesome woman of God which is first and foremost my reason for tuning in. Everything else is a bonus!❤
Kristen, my heart warms when I hear your heart. It can be a lifelong struggle to find a balance with seeking approval but then on the other hand, realizing that His approval of me is paramount. You are human, and the Lord knows your heart. I treasure your genuine spirit. You have a beautiful home! I have an Aunt n Uncle in Omaha, as well as several cousins and their families. God bless you and your family with strength, courage and peace. Love from Edmonton Alberta Canada.
Ok had to pause just a few seconds in. Please don't ever feel bad because you don't get the response you thought you'd get. One people watched it. Two, I watch videos when I'm doing stuff around the house and don't always have time to comment or like. I'm assuming others are like me. You are one of my favorites and to be completely honest I watch your videos over and over. You have inspired this 51 year old to make my home make me happy. So if your home makes you happy, you're the winner. Love ya!!
Same here! I found kristen about a year ago on here and I have literally watched every video , some multiple times. She is so inspirational ❤
Kristen, be who God created you to be. Nothing could be more beautiful than that!! Your life reflects the love of our Lord, your talent in making a home full of love and being just you!!! God bless you and know He has you in His arms always!!..love to see your home and see your joy each week!!❤
You are amazing and I love your channel. I am 64 and live in Vermont. You devotion to our Lord shines through in everything you do. Your heart is in the right place and the Lord knows this. Don't condemn yourself for being who you are. All we can do is strive to improve and love others. Thank you for the beautiful fall tour, your home is perfect.
It's always nice to see our state mentioned in a YT video! What part of the state are you in?
Chittenden County here.

Absolutely beautiful Kristen… the whole thing from the decor to the faithful words. Have a blessed week!
Thank you! You too!
Kristen, your home is beautiful. Loved your testimony. Many people suffer from exactly the same thing. God will bless those who honor him. Keep up the good work. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You have taken THOUSANDS of items and curated them into a lovely home!! I enjoy your honest videos! 👍🍁
Glad you like them!
Your house is so beautifully decorated. I love how you use antiques and thrifted finds.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for the hardwork put into your home projects each week for us to enjoy and be motivated by ...so good to know and be reminded that our joy and affirmation comes only from God. Appreciate you and thank you for the prayer xxxx
Thank you so much!
Hi Kristen. Thanks for the Fall tour. Your home and your decorating is just beautiful. I just love everything. Your gallery walls are so lovely. I love all your cupboards and hutches. I love how God is a major part of you and your sweet families' life. You are just so blessed. I just love your channel. God Bless You and Your Family. Take Care.
Thank you so much!
Kristen the details in your home are amazing!!! The love with each and every piece that you have chosen is perfect!!!!!! Don’t ever sale yourself short of your talents. Thank you for the pray. I feel the same way with my channel. I’ll do a video for 20 minutes and the analytics show the viewers only watched five minutes! I know a lot of my viewers watch the hold video. It’s great to see your passion for intentional living! Thank you so much for sharing ❤ Your fall tour was the BEST I’ve seen in a while 🍁 And I’m going to watch it again!!!!!🥰
Your home is so genuinely welcoming! I love all that you've done! Each piece of decor is a testament to God's provision. Your placement of each piece of decor is a testament of your gratitude for His provision and of your love for your family. You have truly created a home for those you love!
Thank you Kristen for sharing your amazing fall home tour. You have done an absolutely wonderful job decorating but you never disappoint in my opinion. Thanks again
I love all of the dried flowers, grasses, gourds, etc. and how they tie into the neutral colours throughout your home. I find it very calming. Hugs and warm thoughts for the struggles you speak of. 🤗
Thank you so much!
You obviously have a God given talent for taking antiques and thrift store finds and turning them into a cozy, magazine worthy home. When I was working, in hindsight, I had that need for approval. Not so much anymore, thank goodness. Keep doing what you're doing. I believe you're on the right path. ❤
I love your home and have learned a lot about thrifting. You have a gift for decorating and knowing what works together. Also I’m so happy that you and your husband are Christians and raising your children in a home that believes in Christ. Love to you and your beautiful family 😊
I feel like I’m visiting my neighbor. Thank you for sharing. Thank you Jesus
I live in a 162 yr old home! Oh- the work that goes into keeping these antique beauty’s looking pretty ! You do a wonderful job with yours! It looks like what a warm loving hug feels like ❤. The prayer at the end…. PERFECT!
Thank you so much!
What I love about your video is that it is genuine. You’ve opened up your home for others to see and admire. I love watching videos of other women’s homes. Our homes are a reflection of our personalities. I get the feeling that you are a old soul. I love all the vintage detail in your decor. I love looking at other women’s kitchens. It’s my favorite room in every house ❤️ It’s where I spend most of my time 😊
Your home is so warm and inviting. I love your Fall Home Tour and how you include God in your life ! Love your channel!! one of my favorites!!
Thank you so much!!
Thank-you for representing our Lord in a world where consumerism is goal. I love your channel because of you know where your blessings come from and you give Him praise. ❤
Everything is so beautiful! I appreciate all the hard work it takes to bring all of us in for such a gorgeous tour . I loved that you talked during the your .🍁🍂🍁
Thank you so much!
😭💗 So I recently started a new job as a cook at a child care center. I took the job with excitement and passion to nourish children and teachers with healthy nourishing foods but I quickly felt overwhelmed, disappointed and unappreciated by some of the teachers. I am the only Christian at my work. I and a sister from church have been praying for the staff and the children and have seen some wonderful changes but I have been struggling with seeking approval and appreciation from coworkers instead of relying on God to give me strength and peace. It is a battle of my flesh wanting to belong and be accepted but I know in my heart this is not my home. I must rely upon and share God’s love and grace daily so that God will be glorified. Thank you for your prayer, honesty and truth sister Kristen! 💗
Your home looks so amazing
& cozy! I love that vintage fruit picture & the amber color vintage dish with the cream pumpkin in it! Decorating is a God given gift & you girl have it! Your such a blessing! ❤
Thank you so much!!
In case you’d like to know…When I am most moved by you is when you are real about what did and didn’t work out, your authenticity, your prayers or scriptures are just right( not preachy), your passion and great taste in decor, but most of all when you are silly and goofy as you are with your fellow RUclipsrs. The fun part of you is what moves me to not be so serious in my own life. 💞
Your home looks so beautiful and so well put together! It gives very homey vibes and I love that 🏡 🤎
I also love all the vintage and antique touches! Great job! 👏🏼 😍
I'm so glad!
Dear Kristin. Your home is just right the way it is! It’s beautiful!! So warm, cozy, and inviting. I had three little ones very close in age. Looking back, there is no way I could have accomplished what you have and do. God is with you every step of the way. Please, just continue honoring Him with your channel, and the growth will come! ~Cathy
Oh thank you!
I love your style and the warm, rich elements you used. I have never heard anyone present the gospel with such grace and beauty. If I lived nearby I would swing by and visit! Blessings to you fellow sister in Christ ❤
Thanks for listening
Please don’t stress about content and likes. This job as you call it should be fun and make you happy. The reason your follows love your content is because you keep it real!!! We don’t live the lives like the youtubers who have the perfect homes, we know that is not real. You are still young, once you turn 40 or even 50 you will not feel the need to seek approval by others. We waste so much time doing that. Sending happiness your way💖🌺🌼🌷
Your home is beautiful! Gorgeously decorated! I love how you presented the video with pulled back shots of the whole room and then close ups of the details. Happy Fall! ❤
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. And our lord on your channel. 🙏🏼🕊🥰
🤗
Kristen, thank you for home inspiration ideas!!! I love how you are giving old unwanted things such as paintings, baskets, coffee mugs etc. a second chance. I often see those items and think how beautiful they are yet don’t know how to incorporate them in my decor. I feel confident now thanks to you. Thank you for suggesting the book “She Works His Way”. Sounds like a great book to read and definitely plan on reading it. For many reasons this time of year is so hard for many people emotionally and mentally and staying positive is a challenge. So any and all encouragement to give and receive helps all of us. Thank you again and keep up the good work!!!
Remember this is your home!! If it makes you feel Happy then you have achieve what your set out to do❤❤ Your home is beautiful!!! God comes first!! Bless you,your family and your home !!!! ❤
Yes! Thank you!
I love watching your home evolve and watching you glorify God through your talents. It’s so beautiful😊
Thank you so much!
Kristen, thank you for your sweet testimony and hospitality. We do need to focus on the Lord so much more than the people we are trying to please. Remember, when you wake up in the morning, you are a daughter of a King and live that day accordingly. His love, Deb (xoxTX)
Everything looks beautifully curated. I love how the bedroom has the same color on the walls and trim❤️
Thanks so much! 😊
I love your home and tour, it is a beautiful place. When I was about 11 my parents moved into an old house like this and your home brings back so many memories, thank you. I am now 70+ and your love for God is so wonderful.
That is awesome!
Every nook and cranny of your home is so pretty and cozy, and looks like it could be in a magazine. I love that you're a Christian and include Scripture and godly wisdom and encouragement! It's clear your family and household serve the Lord.
Wow Kristen, your home is so beautiful, cozy and inviting. I love, love, love the way you honor our Lord and Savior on your channel. He is so deserving of our praise and worship. May He bless you and your family as you continue to live for Him and His glory! God bless you❤
Your channel is a lovely, calming and godly relief in the midst of the chaotic world of YT and beyond. Your home is so welcoming and gracious and it’s an absolute delight to hear your kind and friendly voice sharing scripture and encouragement. Blessings from 🇨🇦❤!
Kristen. Thank you for your honesty and sharing your faith journey. My Dad who is now in heaven used to say he was a work in progress and that “He’s still workin on me” was a real thing. It is. We all have our “things”. Thank you for this video and all that you create. Your home is lovely and seems filled with love. I say this to you, myself, and any others that need this too.
Be kind to yourself.
Thank you for sharing your heart, your home, your faith and family!! It is a wonderful blessing!!!!❤️Your genuineness shines through!!! In such a short time you have made that house a treasured home!
Thank you so much!
Your home is so beautiful. Your furniture makes my heart flutter 😊 and knowing how much you thrift is impressive. Thank you for all the work and prayer you put into your home and life. Thank you for sharing it.
Thank you so much!
I admire how you talk about who you worship. You're certainly not afraid to admit your allegiance to God. Keep it up. You're doing great.
Kristin that prayer was absolutely beautiful! I love your channel. I look so forward to you uploads! I pray that it will continue to grow for you, and I love you and so many other RUclipsrs use this platform not only for yourselves, but to glorified the goodness of our Lord Jesus Christ! In a world full of chaos as believers, we find our peace and God, and then Him alone!
Please keep those videos coming. I absolutely love to watch your channel.
May the Lord always bless and keep y’all safe
I enjoy your channel so much!!! Your home is beautiful and cozy. Even though I'm a 75 year old grandma and widow I still want approval...it's human nature. Thank you for bringing your faith and readings into your video!!! God Bless you❤
Thank you so much!
I appreciate you NOT rushing the seasons. The other influencers are missing out in life; always striving for the next season. Sad.
You put a lot of heart and soul into your decorating! U have some crocks down in my basement that I need to clean out and I want to get some dry hydrangeas to put in them.
You can do it!
Hi Kristen.. your house is so beautiful. I thought I had an over abundance of Fall decor..you have more. Our house is small. I know a little 0f how you feel. A lot of people are minamalists and have quit decorating for the seasons. One year I did a little poll on jow many people dont decorate for Christmas..I coukd not believe people who thought it was useless, too much work etc. I want to celebrate Jesus birthday . I feel like decorating but putting our Savior first is a welcoming act. Thanks for being proud of your faith and admitting sometimes after all the work we do feel like we want some likes.. I just want a like in person from people who come to my house 😂, but I have to realize it may not be there thing. I remember one year a guy telling me he woukd never want his wife to decorate the kitchen. That is the only big room in our house so it is the most decorated. Thank you for the tour and the beautiful readings. Your flowers did well. Make sure when your flowers die out you keep your seeds. Much love ❤
We love your content Kristen! Keep sharing real life with us girl. RUclips and the world needs more people like you who aren’t ashamed to share the Gospel! ❤
Amen!!!
Upon hearing this soul-satisfying message, we need to remind ourselves daily; that only what the LORD, GOD approves of is what really matters. This is why I follow your channel. Your home is so beautiful, but your GOD glorifying message keeps us coming back for more. My daughter and I love your content; making your beautiful home budget-friendly, but we especially love your humor which makes us feel so relatable. What a special gift you are to us. Thank you for honoring our Abba, Father. Many blessings to you and your family.
Your home is beautiful, love all the vintage touches , can’t wait to see how you decorate for Christmas ❤
Amen 🙏 girl! You are fabulous and very spiritual God is with you a home is a reflection of ourselves our family and who we are and Worship 🙏
That passage you read is perfect. Please read it as many times as you need to. You are enough without the approval of your followers. You are beautiful, you have a lovely home, and a wonderful family and I’m sure you have the Lord’s approval. ❤❤
Thank you, I will
I actually love that you waited for the fall season before giving your tour. It does seem more authentic than people who are doing it in July and August. Let us viewers savour each season ourselves. Just the first scene ... a dog, an American flag, and a tire swing hanging from the tree. Seriously... does it getting any more home town than that! I do feel for you vloggers, as likes and subscribers equal approval which equals a lucrative channel. So even without intentionally needing approval, it is a requirement for a successful channel. Its just the nature of the business. But just don't compare what you have, how you style, what you thrift with others. God made us each unique people with our own visions. Follow your vision, your heart and your family's needs and comfort. Then your home will always be beautiful.
Totally enjoying you and your beautiful home. Your content is honest, fun and warm. I’m 71 years old and feel that we could sit down with a cup of coffee and your home would wrap me in a hug.
Love that!
I just came from church and watching this so beautiful.
I love that you did your Fall home tour later and didn’t jump right into Christmas yet. So many of us like to enjoy each season without rushing to the next one. Your home is lovely and looks very cozy.
Happy holidays!
Kristen, everytime I watch your videos I think I am looking at a celebrity or model 😄I enjoy your content always, but your natural beauty just shines along with your love of Jesus and your a very humble person. I just felt the need to tell you. Your home looks just lovley!
Wow, thank you!
@@KristenHoffman Your very welcome!!
Oh, Kristen - I love your tender, sweet heart! I love the way that your journey of faith with your relationship with the Lord is such a prominent part of what you share with us! I am in my 60s and, although I still love it when people compliment me on my home or a specific thing about me that they admire, I am not nearly as concerned about what others think as when I was young. It is so much more important to be in relationship with the Lord, pleasing and obeying Him, and valuing family. I love your home and how you have decorated it. (By the way, where did you get the lovely, natural little hanging wreaths on the doors of your dining room hutch?? I would love to find some like that!) Your love for your home and family is evident in every detail in every inch. I am glad that you brought back the original sofas in your living room. Although I loved the green color of the others, they were too modern for your esthetic. And that coffee table that gave you such grief looks so good with those sofas and the rest of your decor. Be encouraged, my sister - you are doing a great job and yours is one of the only channels that I try not to miss. Blessings!❤
They were just from hobby lobby! Thank you!
Im from BELFAST NORTHERN IRELAND and i just wanted to say ur home is absolutely beautiful i would love to live in ur house im really into vintage and antique u and ur husband should be so proud xxx
Kristen, thank you for your honestly and vulnerability. I will be very honest with you. I am not a religious person, but I do care about kindness and acceptance and authenticity. I just love your channel, your creative content, and your spirit, and I enjoy your humor. I believe in "bravery before perfection", and I think as women we need to hear that every day with all we do. Thank you for sharing your home and your heart.
Kristen, your home and your soul are golden. You probably never will know just how inspirational and encouraging your message was today to so many of us. You allowed our sweet Lord to speak through you in a way that surely has touched our hearts and will stay there permanently. Thank you for being so vulnerable and blessing us so so much today!
Now praying that God will bless you beyond anything you ever could have imagined. Ephesians 3:20. 🩷🩷🙏🏼🙏🏼 Linda
I think every young woman goes through this, so you are completely normal and loved!🥰
When you feel the passion and not rely on the expectation, it just clicks. Everyone's light is unique and when you are authentic it shows. The more stress you put on yourself to meet others expectations it eventually diminishes your joy in the process.
It is just beautiful. I like that you put the cream couches back in. It is so cozy.🍁🍂
Thank you! 😊
Just what I needed to hear today. You remind me of myself 25 yrs ago. Enjoy this time with your beautiful family. Y’all are such an encouragement and always keeping it real. All for the glory of God! Thank you SO much! I know how hard you’ve worked! 🙏🏻❤️👍
Thank you!
Kristen, you have personal style that is so beautiful. Your way with decorating cannot be matched. One can feel the love of God and the love of family in your home. Keep true to your heart and ignore all of the jealousy.
Thank you so much!
Kristin your house is warm and welcoming. Remember we are here on this earth to please only our Father in heaven. Stay true to yourself and all will be well. God bless you and your family.
I can’t imagine the stress of being a RUclipsr/content creator. However I enjoy watching the videos and they usually bring me joy and comfort so I appreciate the time and effort you put into making them. Just keep doing what you enjoy doing and the rest will fall in place. Everything looked beautiful.
I appreciate that!
It looks nice! Great job, so glad u r getting to feeling better! I think everyone needs to remember to not judge others! We are all made in the image n likeness of god n he loves us all! Also we are all different, not everyone has the same styles, likes, tastes, etc. he broke the mold when he made each of us n blessed us with our own precious gifts, talents, creativity, ideas, n abilities, to share with others! Thank u so much for sharing your beautiful fall home tour, yes this time of year is just beautiful and looking forward to enjoying the holiday season! 😊❤️🎁💕🍁
These words, of God, made me cry of joy. Thank you for the reading Kristen.
Oh Kristen, please may I move into your beautiful home? I just love it! You have made it so warm and inviting. I bet Josh breathes a huge sigh of relief when he walks through the door each evening. He and the children will feel comforted and enveloped in your love. Thank you for sharing your home with us all throughout the world.
Kristin, I just want to let you know YOU ARE LOVED not only by our creator, but especially those of us who “snoop” in your home and family on you-tube!! I could never get my house in order enough to invite everyone in, you are BRAVE!! I am a “neighbor” of yours, live in western Iowa. Keep up the great work!!
Wow, thank you!
What I like best is you numerous real plants. I'm not excited about the fake ones. What in the world happened to your green couches. I absolutely loved them!
We sold them!
