I am 62 and can tell you that if a person in your life has something mean or hurtful to say about you or your home they no longer need to take up space in your head, heart or life. Surround yourself with those who love you for you. I wasted many years feeling the same way you are expressing in this video. When I finally agreed to hold a small group in our home I was floored by how my friends commented on how they loved what I had done so far and my ideas for future plans I had. I saw a messy home and they asked how do you keep your toilet so clean with 4 men in your house lol. One even asked me how I kept my fridge so clean. So, where we see imperfection others see a different story. Never let anyone (including yourself) dictate your worth by appearance. We are all Gods children and are made for great things big and small. We are all imperfectly perfect in our Fathers eyes. Blessings Cami and you just keep doing you at your own pace.
agree. just focus on the positive people in your life and discard all others
I think your home is pretty and cozy as is. I’m a nc realtor and get tired of seeing the same house over and over. This one is unique, and beautiful even if you never do anything else to it.
As an older lady now I can tell you with assurance that worrying about how you look or your house looks will steal many experiences and friendships. You are a lovely young woman. Enjoy this season of life.
Realistically most people don’t buy and house, gut, and remodel it all at once. You have so much more to offer than a pretty aesthetic… ( and I do love it ) I’m here for all of it… and very much looking forward to make overs that transform your house into your vision… whenever that is.
God says “You are enough!” In Him, we are more than enough.”
Thank you so much sharing with us your insecurities. I feel the same way, we just moved to an older home from our beautiful home of 26 years. I’m always thinking I don’t want to invite anyone over until we have everything fixed and updated. Thank you for sharing, it’s good to know I’m not alone.
My mother -in -law gave me these words of wisdom when I was newly married and lived in the tiniest basement apartment, I wanted to have family over for dinner and was so ashamed that I didn't have a proper table, she said people come over to enjoy your company , they don't pay attention to the space!
Cami...we love you just the way you are. We are ALL full of imperfections and feel the way you are expressing at times. I have learned so much from you (I am 78). Enjoy the journey and enjoy your family while they are still at home. You will one day make your home beautiful...to your estimations but it is perfect with your tribe all around you. You my dear sister...are so very blessed!
Anyone who criticizes is a moron! You’re a sweetheart. Honestly, you’re healthy and loved and blessed. Something happens when you turn 50, or earlier for some people, you just stop caring about superficial things and superficial people. Lady, you need some perspective, stop watching other homemaking or design youtubers for a couple of months.it’s all vanity. I love being creative and curating a lovely home for my family but let me tell you, it’s not your tiles or your couch or your decor that make your home a haven, it’s your love and an attitude of gratitude.
Cami, you have absolutely nothing to feel insecure about. You are so lovely, and your home is wonderful. Many of us have experienced the same feelings you express, and we understand how vulnerable you feel at times. Sometimes life can be overwhelming, and the adversary would have you believe that you are not measuring up. He is most definitely wrong. You are an amazing wife, mother and homemaker, and you bless the lives of so many. You are an inspiration to us all.
You have the gift of hospitality! Thanks for sharing your new to you home. I’m very inspired by your willingness to be vulnerable and raw with us. I struggle with a lot of things you mentioned here.
Dear Cami, your wise words are much- needed in the design and decor world, much of it fueled by discontent. After homemaking for nearly 50 years and as a lover of beauty, I can testify that this is a recipe for madness. Your new home is such a gift. Thank you for taking us along with you as you settle in and let it speak to you. Let the noise in the comment section be just that and know that your tribe is championing the wisdom that is being modeled here. What a joy to be along for the journey. 🤍
We all feel vulnerable and judged by others, but as long as your family loves you for the love and kindness that you give to them, it doesn't really matter what others say, people often think or presume that they know you, but only the one's closest to us do and that's what really matters, the one's being judgemental are only reflecting they own insecurities onto others and this has taken me a lifetime to see, it is hard not to take the criticism to heart, but we are all created differently, but not all show kindness and compassion for others. You have a lovely home as it's filled with all the people who matter, family. ✨
The Medleymom said it all. God made you exactly the way He wanted you to be. You never need to apologize for being you. I love your content and what you do. We all have something to contribute to this world. Enjoy your journey. ❤❤❤
Can you block unkind people from your comment section? I only watch real people that have strong family values and interesting ideas to learn from. I do not pick someone for the outfits they wear or for hair or makeup styles. You present yourself well and are a breath of fresh air. Keep up the great work that you do
I believe that RUclips content creators actually can and do... Delete comments...not sure if they can block a commenter themselves...maybe if they get Reported..then YT can block them from commenting? Not sure how that works...
Cami, your words expressed exactly how I have been feeling lately. I started a YT Channel a couple of years ago and at age 60 I struggle with showing myself on camera. I am embarrassed of how I look (mainly weight gain) in real life and on my channel. I have always told my 3 daughters to surround yourself with people that make YOU a better person, but I have to say, I am MY worst critic. Thank you for this incredible video....I really needed this right now! Oh, and your recipe looked absolutely delicious, I cannot wait to try it for our next gathering. Have a beautiful week Cami!!
In my opinion, being immersed in your house and home in its "before" state will only add to the richness of the experiences that we'll be able to witness once you transform each space into your "after" vision. My goodness! You can't do everything in a day, week, or month! :-) This is a process. There's life to live, decisions to be made, cute kitties to enjoy, outside chores and gardening to tend, and dreaming to be had as you craft your renovation plans. I'm here for it and hope you'll find a way to let those insecurities drift away on a cool breeze! {{hugs}}
Girlllll! Our couch is 8 years old and our youngest has been peeling the leather off slowly when we aren't looking. We don't have baseboards, some parts of the house still needs flooring and the whole house has silver window tape on it to keep heat and cold out till we can get new windows. I still invite people over because aftee being in several peoples homes, I've realized we all have projects. Your home is very nice.
We don’t have baseboards in the three rooms that get the most traffic, I can’t deal with it sometimes. And no quarter round in our older rooms.
Some on RUclips, Ariel Bissett, said she had a tarp on her bathroom floor the first 2 years of living at her house. Really put things into perspective for me, because she obviously isn’t photographing that a lot for her social media
Weve never been able to own a home, especially right now. We have a small budget and no houses are selling in our range that aren't total fixer uppers. I get sad at times, but I'm so thankful for our rental. It's not perfect or what I really want, but it's sufficient. We're a family of 6. My oldest is 13 my youngest is 5. We homeschool and I stay home :) I've been in places where it wasn't sufficient and I'm grateful for what I have now! I love your new house! So much character!❤
You have a lovely outdated home but what fun it will be to see your heart go into transforming it to your own inspiration! That dip looks delicious.
Just remember how blessed you are to have a home, many are not so fortunate especially these days. My house is not what I want it to be either so I just remind myself how blessed I am to have it. When I do something new to the house even if it’s just adding a beautiful plant or a thrift find it can cheer you up. And hey, who doesn’t think they could afford to lose a few pounds?😂 Keep smiling! ❤
Cami, thanks for sharing from your heart! I venture to say we all feel vulnerable and insecure at some time or another and you are a great encourager and motivator. I am the worst about not inviting people over because my house is not clean enough. I remember when I had young kids, I never wanted to invite anyone over because my house never stayed clean enough. I went over to a friend’s house one day and her house was a wreck! I felt so comfortable and felt my house didn’t look quite as bad. Thanks for reminding me about that.
Amen, been there done that, love everything about this video! I am 55 now, and so grateful after years of physical/mental healing I am finally to that place of quiet confidence. 🥰
I don’t live in a new home. It needs new siding and I wish it had several things that our last home had. When I start to get discontent I start thanking our good Lord that I have a home. I remind myself that others would give a lot to have what we have. I do understand where you are coming from and struggling. You will get there and I look forward to seeing all that you do to your home. It is already beautiful and so are you! Thank you for sharing as you do! 🥰♥️- Joanna
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I needed this. I have such an idea of what I want my home to be like and feel like. A true haven from the world. And then my eyes see what it is really like, and I recognize the large gap between the two. I don't know if I will ever get there. The adversary really works on me in this area. And yet I need to remember this is not what matters most. I will progress, and I am a work in progress. Cami, I will strive to open my heart and home more! It will be so hard! You have inspired me! Thank you! I know it's worth it. I love this and you!!
I stumbled upon your channel while searching for fall decor inspiration. Just for a point of reference, I'm retired and into labradors, hot rods/car culture, fly fishing and nostalgic drag racing.....home decoration is absolutely NOT high on my list...lol. Young lady, your home and property are beautiful! You only walk through this life once so embrace this season of your life! Just think of all the potential home projects in store as you put your personal touch on this home. People are drawn to others that are genuine and show the real side of life. Stay positive, don't apologize for your life journey and walk away from those who spawn negativity.
THANK YOU so much for your encouraging words. I’m always afraid to open up my imperfect home and your videos are always so timely and speak right to my heart. I tend to have a cluttered home, and am always trying to pick up before anyone comes over. Between our 2 dogs and living in a small space, I will admit that I struggle far too much in this area. The Lord has continually helped me through the years to regain my focus and help me realize it’s about the hospitality and living out my faith as well as my home being a haven and place of refuge for my family and friends. Thank you again for your vulnerability to share some of your daily activities in your role as Keeper of the Home. Bless you sweet friend.
I can’t wait to see the transformation room by room in your cottage! It’s so relatable to the rest of us who don’t do it all at once either
You are a blessing to us! You are, indeed, very brave to share your most sacred spot, your home, with outsiders, not knowing who is looking in. But know how much you are helping others and adding a bright spot to their days! Just be your lovely self! Don’t compare yourself to others…be who God created you to be! And most of all…don’t worry one bit about the naysayers and those who have nothing better to do than criticize. Rise above it all and keep pressing on!
Cami, you are so sweet, a great wife and mother, and we all know just how beautiful your home can be. You didn't get a beautiful home over night. I do so respect that you all do as you can rather than going into debt to get it right now. Not to mention the character building to wait for it till it is the perfect timing. You do good work and work hard. You love Jesus and teach your children to love Him. Those are the greatest things that you can do! You are a blessing on your channel. Your heart is beautiful! Keep on going...just the way God made you, sweet Cami! Just so you know, I love your new property. I had a home that I used to drive by and dream of living there as well. Enjoy your property!
Words of wisdom. Open our "non perfect" homes to others. Most of us just want to share each others company more than check out the magazine worthy home. I just watched a you tube video with Diana Kokka. She was talking about making friends. Stepping out of our comfort zone to invite others over or to do something together, etc. I think God's maybe telling me something with what both of you have said.
Practicing gratitude for our blessings changes everything.
Hey Cami! I love what you had to say about insecurity. I feel like you were reading right from my own heart. I started RUclips a little over a year and a half ago, and all those thoughts go through my head regularly. It’s so hopeful to hear that someone who seemingly has so much together, can feel the exact same way as me. Thank you for being vulnerable. And I love your new home! It’s the coziest!!
Your home is lovely just the way it is. Reminds me of the home I grew up in and the memories I have. If individuals have less than kind things to say block them it is their loss not yours. ❤
No space and no time for people that just want to be critical anywhere ❤❤
This was one of my favorite videos hands down! I appreciate your words of wisdom! I recently had a friend and her sweet little girls stopped by unexpectedly! Things were not perfect and I wish I would of watched this first. I of course apologized for any messes, even though it didn’t look bad. I intuitively knew I should not of said anything about the mess, I had to go there! 🤦♀️. I’m prepared for next time. I did love your previous home but can absolutely see all the potential in this home! The yard is a haven perfectly suited for you all! I look forward to following your journey with your new home, at your timing! You are beautiful inside and out! Thank you so much for being brave enough to share what I’m pretty certain we all needed to hear for our own insecurities! May God bless you and family!
Your homes have both been so lovely. I enjoy that you're not "perfect". I don't watch those types of channels.
I am definitely working on my attitude toward hospitality. My parents never liked to have people over to their house, especially as I got older, and I feel like I've taken on their beliefs of not being good enough, rich enough, house isn't big enough, etc. I didn't learn how to host, so I'm trying to learn as I go, and I'm trying to let go of feeling that our home isn't good enough.
This was such a heartfelt message about homemaking and how we compare ourselves to others. I got so much out of this and loved watching you go about keeping your home while you were delivering it. ❤
You girl are a real inspiration! Thanks for being so real… that’s exactly why we all love you.
And I get it about your house not being perfect… I tend to make excuses for mine sometimes too …
❤this video. You are a very special person. You are a woman of grace and faith. I glad you are the keeper of the home and you invite all who will to come in and feel so welcomed. God blessings to you and yours.
You are a beautiful person don’t let them take your glow away
Cami you must not let the negativity to over take you. Those people are the ones with the problem. You are keeping it real and those of us who do relate with you as a women and a wife and mother. I praise God for your time and efforts to share your life with all of us ! Love, Hugs, and kisses 😘
I have always enjoyed your videos, but I do believe this one is my favorite so far! I think your encouragement is exactly what I needed, and probably what so many of us need! We live in a world where so much about us is compared to others, your message is like a breath of fresh air and sunshine! Thank you for being real, and for blessing us with your message ❤
You are a blessing and a breath of fresh air ! You are talented and an inspiration to all ❤ The renovations in your home are also about your creative juices…start to collect ideas about the.decor you want to implement in each room 💡Your home has such great charm and character 👍 the gardens are just beautiful 👍 Keep up the good work 😊
You are human. You are inspiring
I’ve watched you for awhile, and now a subscriber
Visiting and hospitality has been a big part of our church family, however it is happening less and less it seems. We host now and then but I always stress about the food. It usually works out fine in the end but wish I didn't make such a big deal of what to serve. I'd rather invite for coffee/snacks more often instead of a whole meal. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings that so many of us women are also experiencing.
As you were talking, the song " This Little Light of Mine" popped in my head. Hide it under a bush, no I'm going to let it shine. That's exactly what we all should do. If you come to my house which we bought 5 years ago and been living here for 3 years. In the master bedroom we have tons of boxes because there are no cabinets to put towels or medical supplies. We are working on those things but now as fast as we hoped. You would laugh at our master bathroom with rugs all over the plywood. There are many of us in the same boat. Our house was built in the 80's so it needs some changes (a lot of changes lol) I love the before and after videos and the vision you have for all you want to do. One day it will be the way you want it. So just let that light shine no matter what anyone says. Blessings on your day!
You are such a lovely caring person please don’t let these cruel people get to you.
I’m so looking forward to seeing what you do in your new home but it takes time and I’m a strong believer in that you need to live in the house a while to get the feel of it and notice where and when the light changes in certain rooms. Exciting times ahead for you 🥰
I think you have so many wonderful things to share to your audience. I struggle with the same feelings you do. We built our home and it’s only about 90 to 95% finished. I’ve had my family over twice and so e neighbors over once, but it is hard. I paid for our build and are paying as we go to finish. We’ve been in a little over the year, and boy, do I wish I had more money to finish it out each month! I know I’ll get there, but it’s frustrating. One thing at a time!
Great message.
hey girl- Loved the video!😁 You are always an inspiration to me😘 You keep doing what your doing.😊 God has blessed you and your family so much and y'all work hard to keep your home in working order. Things take time. Just remember one project at a time my friend . My husband and I have lived in our home for 10 years and have done quite a few projects. 🧐Don't feel insecure Cami. You are loved. Just do your best and God will take care of the rest🥰
Thank you for your transparency Cami! I love authentic real people like you who show flaws as well as beautifully executed design. Could you please share a link to your candle essential oil diffuser you showed at the beginning of your video. LOVE it but couldn't find it on my own and would like you to get credit for my purchase. TY! Keep you the good work...
Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable. I love your content. It's inspiring. Somehow when I visit others and their home isn't perfect it makes me feel like we can be friends.
This is was inspiring to me Tammy and your message was just what I needed to hear. I'm in a similar situation to you. I just moved away from a house that my Husband and I built and that I absolutely loved. It was beautiful and I truly made it my own! And we are now moving into a home that I love, but is also extremely dated...like hasn't been touched since the 80's. And we're also not in a position to gut it and remodel the whole thing right away. So I'm feeling nervous about showing people my home, and like you, feeling insecure about what other people are going to think. But, my Husband and I are following a dream and this is where it needs to start, with an outdated old home half way across the continent. Anyways, thank you for your video. It was so good to hear from someone who is also adjusting to a change in their living scenario.
Thanks for sharing your recipe on Basil Iced Tea. Very timely❤
Cami, I love your channel so much.🤍
Your home is beautiful. Honestly, I like some of the old school building techniques that were used in days in the past.
A fan in the window at night is an absolute game changer. Last year our upstairs AC broke and we touched it out and luckily we’re able to afford a new unit this summer.
btw, Cami, I think inviting your family and friends over to your new-old home would be good for you cos they will give you loads of ideas and support to improve it in the years to come...
Well watching your video ( long time no see soooo glad you’re on now) made me reflect on myself. I too have problems allowing anyone in my home 🏡. I’m in apartment living not that big but big enough to have company BUT I don’t often. I think it’s time for me to leave my anxiety behind on this issue and go for it. As for you and RUclips it cannot be easy , some people are so mean 😢 so don’t pay attention to nasty comments. You are perfect as you are. Hugs 🤗🇨🇦🤗👍👏👍👏❤️❤️
Dear Cami, thanks for sharing your feelings.
I'm so sorry you are feeling how you are- it sounds tough.
Please know, you are a blessing to my life (and thousands of others) thru your channel and in real time.
You're an inspiration- a gift- thanks for all you do and give Cami.
💙your style, ideas, recipes, products, sense of humor...
RX: take a days break- refresh, rest, restore (God will provide for your everything)
You're in my prayers
Please: ⛱🛌😴🙏repeat💜
Thank you for the honesty & encouragement. Definitely can relate! Thanks for the fruit washing tips & recipes also! God bless
Love your videos Cami. I can understand your feelings. Since my sister passed in Dec, I have felt this way odd and on! Times that one has trouble breathing the reality she will never be able to see her grandkids graduate etc. I feel that way! But you are doing an amazing job! Never give up! You are more than enough and I hope you consider me as a friend! Love your home and ideas! I love in eastern Tennessee. Blessings to you! Hugs, love and prayers!
Thank you for your this video! ❤
I'm having neighbor women over this coming monday to welcome 2 new ladies to the neighborhood. So this was very timely for me to hear.
Thank you for sharing from your heart.
Where did you get the triqngle things support triangle things in your garden? Maybe supports for cucumbers?
Never Apologize For a beautiful Home It's your home
Amen! Well said.
I deeply understand.
Thank you.
Absolutely amazing videos sharing dear friend ❤️
Thanks for sharing this with us .
Really enjoyed watching
Super big big like thumbs up 👍👍👍👍👍
See you again keep in touch ❤
I don’t think you really meant you were putt8mg epsom salts in your blender, we’re you? That’s what it sounded like you said, anyway?
I did research on washing pesticides off fruit and veggies because I have a new fruit fly that I have had to start spraying for. I learned that baking soda works the best to get pesticides off, but vinegar is good for washing berries to keep them from molding.
Thanks for the encouragement to open our homes, not matter how imperfect they or we are!
Thank you for sharing. Have you ever read the book Holy Hygge by Jamie Erickson? I love this book and it shares a beautiful Christian perspective on opening our hearts and homes to others. You might enjoy reading this book.
One day the inside will match the outside which is totally charming ❤️
You are beautiful and wonderful!
