      Beautiful Bible quotes of the Lord about His most beautiful season of the year- thank you! I had a similar dilemma with my mirror over the fireplace mantle and found it looked better to lift the mirror up several inches and hang it on he wall, which also gave more space and emphasis to the decorations under it on the mantle. Great video- love the green velvet couches and white woodwork on walls!! Love you ❤

    I liked the candles, it gave the mantle more weight, and extended it. Don't second guess yourself, and no need to apologize. You only have yourself to please, you are a marvelous young women, I am 72 years old, and I enjoy watching your channel grow, and the growth you have made since I have been watching you. You are a breath of fresh air.

    Love the green sofas. So cozy and lovely and autumnal. Love the mirror and think it was a good design choice to remove the candle sconces. The croc head and the quote on the antique mirror wouldn’t have been my choices, but it’s your home. Do whatever what makes you happy!
    I do agree that you have evolved since you were first were on RUclips. ♥️

    Your home is beautiful and I absolutely love watching your videos. Your style is so inspiring and I've asked my hubby to take me thrifting for my birthday next weekend!. I have never particularly enjoyed Autumn as I live in northern Ireland and it's just a bit cold, damp and miserable here in the Autumn/fall season. You have encouraged me to try making my home more cosy and welcoming and who knows, maybe I will start to fall in love eith this season after all! Most of all, thankyou for shining your light for Jesus xx

    Everything turned out just lovely! You bring such sweetness to this "RUclips" thing. I am much older than you and watching such a young lady who has such love and appreciation for antiques and making sure they are placed properly, is just beautiful. Love the idea of painting and bringing back your white couches. That will look so wonderful. It looks great now, as you have it styled, but I'm a fan for white couches. Either way, it will continue to look comfy and cozy in your home! You're a doll! 🙂

  • @BiancaPrice3

    I love that mirror you put over your mantle. It is so beautiful. I like the way you have decorated the mantle. Very simple and yet elegant. Thank you for the scripture and the humble thoughts. We need to be reminded of how tiny we are in the big scheme of things and yet how significant because we are made in God's image and He loves us so much!

    @KelliRodgers-lr1tb Год назад +2

    Kristen, everything looks so pretty so far! The paint you picked would look so pretty with your cream couches. The sideboard is beautiful and the mirror is such a beautiful focal point. With so many different opinions remember it's your home. Your sanctuary and where you live and look at your design everyday. Do what makes you happy! I think either way would look nice. Thank you for the beautiful bible verses and yes, the crisp fall air just beginning is the best. Nice job, as always. God's blessing! 🙏🏻😊

  • @bluemoonestatesalesofcentr8274

    The green couches I think look better! They also go with literally every season! With young children, the color is also better! I also agree that they go well with the fireplace green without being too overwhelming.

    Mirrors above fireplaces are perfect, and agree with you not hanging it. Reflects light from your living room windows. Love how you decorated the mantle and the quote on your mirror is perfect. You are going to have fun changing your quotes with the seasons. I would paint the living room the colour you mentioned and bring back the lighter couches. It will look warmer. Glad you didn’t re-hang the candle sconces, less is more.

  • @sheilafae
    @sheilafae Год назад +11

    The green couches are so beautiful but the legs, to me, give a modern feel and your home has more of a traditional/vintage vibe. Whatever you decide will be perfect.

    • @pisicacutecat4869

    I think you did a fantastic job. Love the idea of the paint color. Yes i would go for the white couch with that. Love the mirror, a lucky find. Just love the sweet Bible verses, we all could use that. Put into your home what gives you joy. If it the Crocs so be it. I kinda like a pop of difference, adds a bit of wimsey. What is unique to you. Doggie is sweet, he loves the mama. Take care, God Bless ❤ Deana

    I think the color of paint you're thinking of is perfect for that room. I loved your old couches which would be great with the new paint color. The green couches are pretty too but wouldn't be as complimentary to your new paint color. Your house is so warm and inviting. Sandy

    Beautiful Bible quotes about the Lord’s most beautiful season of the year- thank you. I had a similar dilemma with a mirror over my fireplace mantle. I found that the mirror looked better hung on the wall several inches above the mantle, which not only gave it more prominence in the room, but also show-cased the decorations beneath it better. You can also paint or rub and buff the candle sconces an antique gold to match the mirror. Great video! Happy autumn! God bless!Love you❤

    @denisejones1863 Год назад +3

    I agree painting your trim and fireplace would be great. What are you doing with that light wood coffee table? Yes, remember less is more when decorating. Your fireplace did get a little much. I did like the candle wall holders though. I love the white couches and the painted fireplace and wainscoting would be nice. I find the green couches a little too modern. Could you move them elsewhere? I'm a little nervous buying upholstered furniture on Marketplace because of bed bugs.

  • @deniseborchardt4491
    @deniseborchardt4491 Год назад +3

    I have a green couch and love seat and it works well to swap out my seasonal decor. I think your other couches do look better with the new rug imo. I love the new t.v. stand and smart girl on fixing it. I adore how your daughter kept trying to close it. The hydrangeas look so pretty in the crock on the chair. I also love the quote on the mirror.

    Kristen I Love your green couches! Keep them there. I have a similar mirror from my grandmother. I really think the sconces take away from the ornateness and it shines with the simplicity of the vignette. I like my mirror to be a statement and it always is. Mine also leans on the mantle. The sconces might look good on either side of a room entryway? Thank you for the beautiful bible verses. I needed that today friend. ❤️😊🌻

    Love the shape of the mirror and it looks great over your mantel. I would hang the mirror on the wall though so it is more secure. Paint the fireplace mantel for sure. Then you can see how much you like the color before you commit to doing all the trim and rest in the room..
