Speaking of leaving some gorgeous piece behind when you move..... When my two sons were young, I took them with me thrifting, relentlessly. On one adventure I had found a huge tole chandelier with leaf motif. I brought it home, my husband installed it, and it presided over our foyer for several years. In 2016 I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and my husband was traveling extensively for work. When he would leave I would get worse so he moved us back near our parents so my mother could help me. Our home where our chandelier hung was two story and we didnt have a ladder tall enough to safely remove the chandelier, we had to leave it behind. Four years later and after beating cancer with the Lord's help, we were building our dream home on the bluff, in the forest on a mountain. All I could think about was how perfectly wonderful all those leaves would look on our dining room. I started looking to see if I could find the person who had bought our house and asked her if she would sell it. I offered her quite a bit more than I had originally paid, and my husband and I borrowed a very long ladder from a friend and went and took it down and replaced it, as a courtesy to this young woman who now owned the house with a light fixture that was more to her taste, that I had also thrifted. I am still on disbelief that we were able to buy this chandelier again, and it is hanging in my dining room now, presiding over this next chapter of our family's life.

We are very similar in what we love. I would put a germ filled bird nest in a cloche on my mantle before some tchotchkes from Target. 😂 You know? Always thrift. Always antique. I love old black and whites and old post cards and string etc. Antiques are so much richer. You used that word and it’s the perfect word! The old items have a different energy about them. It’s important. I think my soul longs for a simpler time, honestly. My mom taught me that your surroundings totally affect your frame of mind. She was so right! ❤️😊

Thank you Sara for sharing with us your insights into creating a heartwarming home, vintage is so satisfying to my soul. I love French decor and have curated a home that makes me happy. Since my home is small, I always after finding new treasures, find items that need to move on to another treasure hunter, I have enjoyed the piece but have found an upgrade. I do get the his question often, “I love this piece, it speaks to me, but it is not the style/era I am collecting, what do I do?” If you love the piece, it will always work in your home because it represents you love of creating a beautiful environment. Thanks Sara, have a lovely weekend.❤️❤️

One of the most beautiful homes I have been to in my life was a very small two bedroom, one bath home with white painted exterior wood or asbestos siding. This was in the early 1970s. The teenager's bedroom was painted a very soft pastel pink, the shears and bedspread were gathered soft pastel pink and were the same shade as the walls. The room was uncluttered with a couple of throw pillows on the bed. I wanted my bedroom to look like that room. I was a young child and asked my father to paint my bedroom pink! He bought pink paint the same shade as Pepto-Bismol and painted the walls! It was so pink!

Sometimes, I see pictures of the Mayhurst or glimpses in your videos, like today, and I still can’t even believe I’ve actually been inside and walked those historic rooms…touched a banister that a long-ago family touched…looked out of windows that infantry used while commandeering the Mayhurst during war time. The Bespoke Experience was just so surreal. Dreamy. I even got stung by a fancy little Mayhurst bee! I imagine it has its own silver tea set back at the hive somewhere on the grounds. 🐝🫖 These are wonderful reminders to decorate joyfully. As always, you inspire us. Like you said, “even Ma Ingalls” and I love that analogy! My most recent addition was a pair a French inspired ladderback chairs with rush seats, as well, alabaster grapes…which I’ve been on the hunt for ever since I found the onyx horse head book ends on Antiquing Day while attending Bespoke!

We live in an 1800 cottage on a farm and I personally love the cottage look, so our home is period as much as I can have it. We are putting in a new kitchen floor as the old was extremely worn and have chosen a wood look vinyl for reasons only a person on a farm might think about. A lot of wear and tear on these floors. I have found over the years I pretty much stay with the colors I love the best and sprinkle in some other colors in specific areas to break up the neutral colors I keep year round. I’m enjoying the real look of woods in my furniture and decor right now. Wicker in the darker shades has caught my attention for fall. Using baskets for doors and even walls.
