Sarah, firstly your daughter’s paintings are lovely. Secondly I’m always happy when I see people ‘think outside of the box’ , when using items to decorate their homes. It’s something I do and I think this makes our homes individual.

Sarah, I love your home. It is so warm and cozy. I’ve never thought of your house as primitive but maybe my definition of primitive is different but I know I love all your old pieces. I love the mixture of old and new and I like your plant stand. Old chairs are great as a plant stand. I enjoyed this video.

Vivian's paintings are so special.

I love love love your home and I watch every day and get inspiration to try new things in my home which is primitive and a cottage feel. Vivian's artwork is amazing! The way you arranged and decorate is exactly what I love!! Peace! 🩵

Love the artwork your daughter painted! My favorite styles are Primitive , Traditional and English Cottage

So sweet of your daughter to paint for you! ❤ The chair is great, but I just had a cool thought watching you trim straw. Take a somewhat damaged doily, and tack to underside of chair seat to cover and hold up that straw. Your cat may try to shred straw or doily. On that thought, does he/she dig in houseplant dirt? My cats all did!

I adore your home. I love all the plants. The chair turned out perfectly. The paintings are beautiful

Your daughter’s paintings are so pretty of the sea.🌊 She’s a natural talented artist. 👩‍🎨 I too like mixing old with some new. I like different styles of decor too, but I mainly stick to my French country style. My mom has decorated in a primitive style for years. I like primitive, cottage, farmhouse, Shabby Chic , and even Victorian etc. 🤗

Love the paintings Vivienne did such a beautiful job! 🫶🏻

I think if you love it, use it. You don’t need a particular style. You do a lovely job of decorating and Vivian has real talent. Smoky is always good for a chuckle!

Your daughter's paintings are amazing. She is a very talented young lady. It is hard for me to imagine how someone can sit down and paint something so beautiful in so little time. I can barely draw a stick figure.

LOVE IT ALL. SO CHARMING. I buy whatever I love. I go by no rules. I call it my style. And somehow to my surprise it always works. Just stay true to you because we are here to watch your style and journey. Your story book. 🎉 love your videos.

Sarah, I agreed with you I love the look of antique and modern mixed. I think it gives our homes a more curated look!

Sarah…you hang pictures exactly like I do! Point and stretch! Paintings look so good and your little girl is so talented. I love your design sense ..a touch of modern keeps it fresh and new. May I suggest placing something inside your lovely pot to raise up the snake plant. The plant will like it better!

Sarah I also love primitive and modern together. I have a log cabin with antique oak wavey glass kitchen cabinets that demans primitive.

Sarah, I think Vivian needs to have her own website to sell her paintings! She's truly that good! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Everything looks lovely as usual! 🤍

Vivian I love your paintings. Sarah,as always your decoration is beautiful.

Vivians paintings are beautiful! I love them grouped together. Love the plant stand. I have a fern like that. Mine likes very bright light. As soon as its a little warmer it will go outside where it thrives. I absolutely love your style! Please don't change. Several BIG instagramers and you tubers are changing up their style and while it's pretty I very mich miss their past styling. Your style is gorgeous!

What a joy to see Vivenne's artwork. Your family has the "art" gene! We live in an 1898 Victorian home, nothing fancy. We call it our country Victorian. With antique furniture we've added a few rustic pieces here and there and a gifted abstract acrylic painting my brother painted. So good to see Smokey this morning. Blessings to everyone. xoxo.

The paintings are so good!

Your daughters paintings are so beautiful. Love the frame choice too. A mixture of old and newer items is my favorite. You do such a great job picking out items and decorating; you don't need anyones advice.

I love history of older things. Someone's chair wore out....they cut a piece of wood to make it useable again, probably from neccesity. Simple elegance in your gallery of beauty. Love from Texas❤

Every time I think your home can't get any more beautiful...it does!

Hi Sarah that is a lovely little store and Vivian is an amazing artist really good love your home and your family thank you for a lovely video take care love from Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤❤👍👏

Love that little chair🤎

Hi Sarah, I've just discovered your channel, thank you for sharing your wonderful content 🥰 I love thrifting too, in England we have a saying, 'one man's junk is another man's treasure', and like you, I love to find the treasure 😃 I'm really looking forward to binge watching your videos later today - thanks again, Vanessa 💌💌💌

I love your mix of old and new. And what a beautiful way to honor your children. Such a wonderful mom.

Careful with he snake plant I scratched my cornea on one once and had to go to the emergency room. It was very painful and took a while to heal. Love the acorn posts on the chair/plant stand.

That looks like a beautiful shop! 😍I find my self liking some modern farm house,and tried to do that and realized I'm a primitive gal. Boy I went back with a bang. I'm never going to the modern again.

My Favorite of what was on your video is Vivian's 3 paintings. Our middle grand daughter paints and it means so much when she paints for us. Your daughter is very Talented. Praise God!!!!

Your home is SO beautiful.

Hi Sarah, I've been waiting for a new visit. Love everything you do. As for primitive vs. modern, I'd lean toward primitive but an occasional modern piece in the mix A OK. That's the good thing about modern, it fits in well with almost everything as long as it isn't overdone. Also, if it's modern check to be sure it's solid wood. Often, there's MDF and engineered wood, etc., which really bothers me. Can't wait for the next visit. You really make home a sanctuary.

What a treasure Vivian’s paintings are! I love everything you style Sarah. The chair is rustic yet beautiful ….nice plant holder. Blessing pretty lady

Sarah the chair is perfect under the picture of a lady sitting in a chair! As a lower school Art teacher your daughter has talent!! The small paintings are amazing 🎨🖌️ ❤

I always like the way you cluster 3 little paintings together, and it's amazing how you find frames to go with the paintings ..🪴

❤❤❤

Love the little fern (not an asparagus fern). Since you are new to plants there are free apps available for identifying various plants (house plants and outdoor plants). These apps are easy to use and only require a picture to identify any number of plants. Once you identify them you can “google” how to care for them.

I think we are on this house plant journey together. 😂 Since I haven’t killed my ivy’s yet, I’m strongly considering finding a fern I can keep indoors. I love your asparagus fern!!! Vivian (let me know if I spelled it right!) is so incredibly talented!! What a treasure!! Wonderful video as always my friend!

We have similiar styles...the blend of old and new...rustic and modern is so beautiful together. You are ones of my favorites to watch! Always look forward to your creativity!

The layering of Prim with modern is what makes a home intresting. Your home is beautiful and leaceful and your daughter is a natural. Wow! Hope she paints forever

I had decorated with primitive for a long time, but then I decided to give everything prim away and go modern. I hated it, and now I’m back to buying prim again. Love your videos like this one. Love Vivien’s art work.

❤

Your house looks really beautiful and cozy, you definitely have a eye for interior design as does your daughter. She has a gift of painting, if she has never had any art lessons, it's a natural gift. Don't question your style, you love what you love and you should do what YOU love in your home, it's your sanctuary...trends come and go. Decorate for YOU.

Love the paintings your daughter did! She's a very talented young lady. As always, I love your home! I have a chair or 2 hanging around and never thought to use them as plant stands, believe or not. I'm excited to see how it looks. Thank you for sharing. I love old with new too!

My home is a mix of all kinds of styles. It's very eclectic in my eyes, but I love it! And really at this point in my life, buying new furniture to make everything matchy, matchy is not feasible. I love Vivian's talent...I hope she always pursues art!

I love your touches of modern mixed in with the primitive. It keeps your home looking relevant and inviting. Vivian is certainly growing in her talent and skills. Another lovely video. On a side note; what happened to the green velvet chairs you had in your living room? I notice they’ve been gone for a while.

Beautiful Sarah🩶🪺 great finds🌿

I enjoy mixing old with new myself. Your daughter's paintings are so lovely. She is definitely a budding artist. I thoroughly enjoy your content, Sarah.

Hi sweet friend, what a lovely video. Vivienne's paintings are stunning, she's sooo very talented . Luv your new primitive chair, makes a wonderful plant stand. Your style is impeccable, always soo cozy and inviting. Luved seeing adorable Smokey, what a ham. Ya'll have a fabulous week. Luv & blessings, Bob and Lisa ❤😊💖🐰🐥🙏🌈

Very pretty paintings. I really like those snake plants . Wonderful chair. Looks great!

Everything looks so lovely. The sun really shines in there in the morning. Your daughter has a real gift. That cabinet was so pretty. I wanted it and I’m so sad it was to large ~ Janet 😘

Vivians paintings are so pretty. She is so talented. I really like mixing my vintage with modern. Primitive and modern so good ❤

My decorating style is vintage cottage with touches of traditional elegant. Mix the things you love and you can an’t go wrong! 😊

I love the chair plant stand! The fern looks like a lemon button fern.

I absolutely love your daughter's painings she's awesome. They're so pretty. I enjoying videos thank you for sharing.

What a lovely relaxing video! Great job painting by Violet! Love all of your finds and how you put them together! 💙💜

Dear Sarah your love for you home and the things within it is actually stunning...also your daughters❤

I love everything, you always do such a lovely job decorating your home so inspiring. Vivian is a wonderful artist. The paintings look fantastic ❤

Viv’s artwork is gorgeous! Such a wonderful addition to your living room! I love the chair and pretty plant, as well!❤

I love the chair (plant stand) it works beautiful, The art work is wonderful. I love adding in primitive with any style my home is I would say more traditional but I have a lot of older pieces. I really like your small desk that you hung the seaside pictures above, was that a thrifted find. I also love plants and I am always struggling to try to find how to take care of them or when to replant, what soil what kind of light. I find I sometimes just ignore them? I also came up with a method of watering which I use a chop stick to go into the dirt and when you pull it out if it is dry I water? Not sure how well the method is going to work but for now they all look really healthy.

Vivian's paintings are just amazing very talented and love your thrift haul ❤❤

Beautiful Sarah ❤

Vivian is very talented.

Hi Sarah. I love seascapes. Good on her!

Although primitive is not my style I do like old pieces mixed in. They give character to a room..plus some history. Your plants appear to be thriving..so much light. I like smaller paintings..you can tuck them many places and look nice displayed on a small easel. You could probably fix the seat of the chair if you ever want to.🌼

You hang pictures like I do. Nails in mouth, hammer just a reach away and eyeball it. Love Vivian’s work.

Vivenne’s art work would be to pic! She is very talented. My home is electric mix of a variety of eras. You have done beautiful job of mixing what you love!

Your home is lovely. Beautiful painting your daughter did.

Nueva suscriptora desde uruguay 🇺🇾 saludos ❤

She is a natural! You should make prints of her work and sell them online, put the money away from collage!

That store really does have some nice things! I loved that scale, been looking for one and i would have loved to score that piece!! The white cabinet was gorgeous, the ornate details..i love the primitive pieces too! I only have one piece of primitive furniture, a large step back cupboard from the mid 1800's and its my favorite piece i own! I'm looking for A few more old kitchen chairs, i have an old wood table & want to put different chairs instead of matching chairs.. the one you bought is beautiful! I have a couple of really old children's chairs i use for plant stands, very cute! Ohhh my, Vivians paintings are just beautiful.. so very talented!! I know you're proud, as I know I would be😊 I love mixing all styles, I'm acclectic, if i love it i use it, find a way to make it work! I use very little modern, I've almost replaced any modern pieces with something old.. except my main furniture of course! Everything looks very pretty.. and always enjoy your videos!😊

Beautiful chair as a plant stand very lovely

I would call ur style eclectic. Thnx for sharing!

Love the chair! Your daughters art is awesome

Your home has a calming atmosphere. Love the cat...

She did a Beautiful job ❤Love her paintings ❤

For your average house plant, they need watering once a week. The snake plant in your large pot can go two weeks or more without water. Don't overwater this plant.

Your home is gorgeous!!

Absolutely lovely, Sarah! And, your daughter is very talented! Blessings.

Oh I love this ❤️ Sarah your home looks so welcoming and cozy, nice work 😊

HAPPY MONDAY Sarah, family, and fur babies. STTB

Hi there! I love your home! Where did your beautiful modern green chairs go? And your beautiful Anthropologie mirror in your living room? I always loved your chairs and mirror.

Vivian painting is so beautiful

Love it all. Vivienne’s paintings are so great! Have you studied “skying” in homeschool art yet? Some of her art is sky heavy (not bad-just a style technique!). Maybe check out Constable and others who focused on the sky. They are some of my favorite artists!❤

Have you tried Magpie’s Antiques in Ripon, Ca? This is one of my favorite shops…Love the haul…🌻

Your home is beautiful Sarah ❤and Violet is definitely an amazing artist 🫶🪴🌿 I meant Vivian, sorry 😉

What a beautiful room. First time watching your channel. Vivienne is your daughter? What beautiful art❤

I love your daughter's paintings. What happened to the green chairs?

What happened to the green velvet furniture you were given a while ago and where’s your lovely big mirror?

What do you have that is modern? Just curious

Sarah, what is the name of the painting that you have hanging near Vivian’s paintings? The one of the girl sitting in the chair with her back toward us. Thank you

Complimenti,i dipinti sono meravigliosi,anche io sono una pittrice,credo che abbia un futuro come artista.artisti si nasce,l arte e dentro di noi🎉🎉🎉🎉❤

You hang your pics just like me! Fingers and eyes 😊

Love all of it, if we come back after life I want to be aSmokey,he is rotten and such a handsome young man.

Hi Sarah what is your sisters channel x

The large pot is too big for your chair. Pot is more for floor size.

I think your style is more chabby chic than primitive.

Turning the chair over to trim would have been a lot easier on you.

Sarah, I would not describe your decor as primitive.

Don’t block your paintings with other decor and plants, please.
