The couches look great and switching the rug gave the room more warmth. Don’t get discouraged about your videos. I think people just get busy in the summer and aren’t watching as much. Keep them coming, people will watch.

The green tiles on the fireplace are perfect with the green plants and couches! Looks beautiful!

Bringing in the green took an already pretty living room to another level. I love it! Cozy, warm, and welcoming.

Your living room update is lovely. I love that everyone is now starting to add some color to their homes, looks so much cozier.

I like the 2nd option for the art above the fireplace! Perfect size and colouring

The new sofas are beautiful. I love the color! Room makeovers are my favorite thing. I’m 73, and growing up, my mother rearranged furniture in every room on a regular basis. It made the house feel so different and refreshed. She didn’t spend any money, just rearranged and used things she already had Maybe people are a little tired of all the thrifting, but not the things you do to make your house a home

The seascape is a total YES! Couches are gorgeous.

Your home is adorable. I love that you use antiques and color. I’m so tired of interior designers giving us nothing but white, with more white, and adding tan for texture. 😅

Kristen! I just love your channel! I literally teared up when I saw your husband and you coming together during a stressful moment. We do a lot of premarital counseling and that is just such good stuff. Also, this is the OCD in me, but I think if you wrapped the cord that goes to your fireplace in white, it will not stick out like a sore thumb like it does!

I love the green couches. Adding the rug from the dining room was a smart choice. Instead of buying more tile, you could put trim at the bottom and paint it white. Save a few bucks. The room looks gorgeous.

Kristen, love what you’ve done in your living room. Your thrifted pillows look fabulous and match so beautifully with your new couches. Yes, you definitely need a larger coffee table; give some thought to a large round one - would be nice visually, and add a welcoming vibe to the room. A place to display coffee table books or a tray, candles, lanterns or other wonderful thrifted finds of yours. The first thing I thought when you suggested switching up the artwork over your fireplace was placing a large mirror there. If it’s large enough you could stand it on the mantle and not hang it. You have such beautiful artwork on your gallery wall. Love what you did to the fireplace. Amazing how a little DIY can transform something in any room and makes you feel so accomplished. The new insert is a perfect size for the opening. A basket on the floor with logs beside your fireplace would make your fireplace look authentic. On the other side you could place a large crock filled with pine cones that the girls have gathered for you and it would also hide where you ran out of tile. Even placing a small thrifted stool on one side of the fireplace with a potted plant or blanket on top would be cozy. All the hard work you put into this room really shows Kristen. Congratulations. Always look forward to your videos!!

Go with matching rugs! The sofas are gorgeous, and the changes you made to the fireplace are beautiful! The deep green tile is perfect, and the insert really makes a difference! I love how you kept the momennts with Josh in the video because in an age where people only put their "perfect life" in videos and social media, you're keeping it real! The Spurgeon reading was an added bonus! As for your watch hours, everyone I'm subscribed to seems to have the same issue, but it's because it's summer, so please don't worry! Someone made a comment on this video that people are tired of thrifting videos, and they are wrong! Thrifting is so huge now, and those of us who watch your videos are here to watch whatever you do regardless of the content! 💜💚🙏🏻

I love your living room transformation!!!! The green sofas are gorgeous and really make all the other greens pop! Those stick on tiles completely transformed your fireplace! Every thing is just lovely! And thankyou for showing how you and Josh show grace and forgiveness to each other! A great reminder to us all!!! 🙏🏻🧡🙏🏻

Your room make over is beautiful! Maybe Josh could amount the tv on a bracket that can be moved and tilted there on that same wall where it is so that it doesn’t fall from the table. 👍🏻

I love option 2 so I'm glad you chose that one! You've inspired me to do a gallery wall and I've had the most fun shopping for pictures for it! Scored this weekend with two pieces for 1.99 each!

GIRL, Those couches are TO DIE FOR! Absolutely gorgeous!!! Love the peel and stick tile too! Totally transformed the space. I bet you’re super excited!

And I am dying for a green velvet sofa. That really is a classic color and style! I love that in your room, and it also makes your old rug work really well too.

I'm 73, live in Atlanta, and love your channel so much. Love the couches. Green has always been my favorite color. Great job on the fireplace too. You chose the painting that I liked the best. I started thrifting two years ago and thoroughly enjoy seeing your thrift hauls. I too have found so many wonderful pieces for my home.

Kristen, Your fireplace turned out so cozy! Great job! I love your channel and that you're such a real down to earth person, not putting on, but just being you! You are fun and I love your content.

I love that you do not stage areas before you film and that we see “real life.” For example, the stuff under the couch when you moved it. We all have the random objects that end up under the couch. It lets us know that you live just like we do. Seeing how God is the center of your home and life is truly a blessing.

Kristen - your channel is one of my absolute favourites. You are so creative and talented, and so relatable at the same time. Thankyou for sharing. AND - your fireplace looks amazing!!

I love the makeover. The tiles on the fireplace are perfect and you chose the same picture I wanted. The green just pops with it and your new sofas. Also, anytime God's word can be spoken/read is the best thing. You never know who needs to hear it. Thank you.

I really like option 2 for the summer. I think the covered bridge would be nice for fall. Scale depends on what you decorate your mantle with. The mantle is my favorite to decorate.😁 Looks lovely! Have a blessed week.🌸

Beautiful makeover! I love the color of the new couches. I like the before pics, but the after is amazing! Great job. Thank you for taking us along. 🇺🇸

I loved your living room before, but it’s amazing what a little color can do to uplift the space.

The fireplace boarder looks great, you could paint the bottom green to match with the stick tiles. 💞

Seascape all the way. Color and size are perfect. The green tiles look so good, as does the new insert. The new couches are so rich, and really add to the room. I like the rug too! A large oval or round coffee table would handle traffic through the room if you can find one. Bless you and your husband, and thank you for including that tender moment.

I love your fireplace makeover! The green looks great! It all looks wonderful! You always do such a wonderful job with your house! I truly love your house! I can't wait till your videos come out! I have watched almost all of your videos. Still working on finishing them. I know you don't know me. I am from all the way over on the east coast in West Virginia. I work at our church and i am over the children's ministry. I am so proud of both of you and the values you are instilling in your girls. Please dont be discouraged. God is working through your videos! God bless you and your family!❤

I think the artwork you chose was a perfect choice. I also love that it brings out the green from the fireplace. I would get green or blue candles to match even further. If you wrap a little tinfoil around the bottom of the candle and smoosh it into the candlestick holder, it will help keep it straight. The trick is in hiding the foil. But, it’s better than digging out melted wax from the candlestick.

And. I absolutely adore your devotional at the end. I love that man! Thank you for being so authentic in your faith, Kristen! What I was saying before was that you can wrap the black cord in white tape, and boy watch it melt away!

Loving the new fireplace tiles, sofas and moving the rug. I vote for picture #2 because I think it looks great with the green tiles and sofas.

I’m back to THANK you for reading from Charles Spurgeon, a gifted preacher and man of God. You have just elevated my day!

Happy Monday Kristen! How is your farmers market going? I haven’t heard you mention it. The fireplace looks great with your faux tile. Same thing happens to us all the time with not ordering it buying enough when we are doing a project. Your new couches look fabulous. If viewership is done it is probably just because of the busy summer. No worries! Have a blessed week.

Wow! What a beautiful transformation with the green color . The art work you finally chose looks best of the three. What a difference the "tile" made on the fireplace. You have really great ideas. Have you thought about using a vintage crocheted doily and few old books on the coffee table? The living room looks so homey now. Love what you did. God bless you and your beautiful family.

Kristen, you are Wonderful, and your channel is Amazing. I Truly Enjoy your channel, here on KZfaq & your Instagram Account also. I Always Enjoy seeing the Love that you and your Sweet Family have for one another as well. It was So Beautiful to see how you and Josh worked through that little rough spot. The Beautiful reminder that you shared about how Christ gives us the opportunity to show love, grace, and forgiveness to others; just like He Lovingly showers those same things upon us, was SO Wonderful. ❤🙌🏾❤ Sweetheart, please try not to worry about the numbers appearing smaller, So Many people are busy enjoying the short Season of Summer. 🙂 By the way, your living room was Gorgeous before the transformation, and it is Still Gorgeous after the changes that you made. To put it simply, your Home is Truly Beautiful, Warm, and Welcoming. Kristen, Thank You for sharing, inspiring, encouraging, and allowing the Light of Christ to shine through you. Keep up the Amazing job, and take care. Love In Christ, Paula

Absolutely love the living room! Especially the sofas and your new fireplace. Glad you went with picture #2, #3 was too small.

As frustrating as the tiling was on your fireplace, it actually looks amazing! Really beautiful. And the new couches are gorgeous. The low backs on them show off the pretty trim on your wall very nicely.Your living room is perfection, Kristen, you are very good at arranging vignettes. Great job my dear.

The beach pic pulls all the colors together, great summer seascape, best proportion! 😊

I'm new to your channel, and I absolutely love it! Yes, we do serve a God that teaches us about grace, forgiveness, and reconciliation! What a great way to decorate and witness! God bless y'all!

Yes, yes , yes !! Thank you for your time and effort. I love your content, style , and personality. The best part is how you live out your faith and honor God. Keep up the good work !!

Kudos on the ocean picture over the fireplace. Hung up definitely looks so much better than leaning. Id say ❤ love this living room makeover vid!! Absolutely beautiful ❤ thank you for being the most beautiful person that Jesus made you to be. You are radiant

I subscribed to you today. I find you humorous, entertaining and humble. You did a great job.

What a great update to your living room. The fireplace diy was amazing. I do agree that a larger coffee table would be better. Great job, Kristen 😊

It all looks amazing! I love the green! I would also suggest adding a trim piece or painting the bottom the same color green as the tile and possibly put a plant, basket or nick-knack in front of the corners to help camouflage it. 💚

Love the green sofas with the green tile!!!! Wow great choice

I love how your living room turned out. The picture above the fireplace is perfect and the colors bring out the green in the fireplace tile and your new couches. So beautiful, you did a great job.

This was recommended to me in my feed and I'm so glad...what a lovely home, lady, AND you love the Lord? I'm so glad to be here. Happy Friday ❤🙏 😘

I love how it turned out. The green in the couch is beautiful and the rug looks awesome.

I would use the covered bridge picture above the fireplace in the Fall and leave the beach scene one up for summer!! 😊

I love what you’ve done in your living room. The couches are so stylish and the little stove is perfect!! I like the beach scene best! If you have a problem keeping candles straight in holders, melt a little wax into the holder and then add the candle cut will keep it upright.

I think the fireplace would look amazing black, but overall everything looks refreshed and the green sofas are a great addition- nice job!

I want the same rug in my dinning room and family room. It’s a open concept. I think it would look great in your space.

It looks so nice!!!! 😍 also, love that you shared that real moment between you and Josh. ♥️♥️♥️

Dear Kristen, Bravo👏👏👏 your living room is delightful. If I may, putting like rugs in close proximity is entirely up to you. If you like the way it looks, go for it. Our homes are our private sanctuary. Peaceful surroundings and beauty are in the eye of the beholder. Not everyone likes the same thing. My home decor is what brings joy and peace to me. Hugs 💞

Kristen, the changes you made brought so much warmth into your living room. It looks great 👍

You and Josh are adorable, taking a breather together during something that was tense... that is a testament to being gracious to eachother❤ I love the new sofas, my sofas are also olive green and I've had them about 25 years. I think I'll get olive green again when we need new, I just love them! Great choice for the fireplace, the art work, those gorgeous "tiles" look authentic!!

I love the color of your sofas, Kristen!🫶🏻

I absolutely love all of the changes! The fireplace looks like night and day and I love the seascape artwork you chose. Your videos are inspiring. Keep being uniquely YOU!! :)

Oh my gosh your little baby running around in just a nappy (I'm British lol) took me back a few years. I'm old now, so it's just lovely to see little ones running around while Mum & Dad are busy lol. You have a beautiful home x

They are metal, and the color is gunmetal. Love them!❤

Hi Kristen! I like the small changes you made. So pretty! I do like option 2 picture the best. Have a wonderful day!

Everything looks beautiful! I love the green couches, and the fireplace makeover. Painting #2 is perfect. The green in the painting looks great with your new fireplace tiles.

The living room looks beautiful! I also love how you and your husband keep it real in your video. I needed a reminder that relationships are not always perfect and it's ok. Also love the sticker tiles on the fireplace. Pulls the entire room together with the new couches. Thank you for sharing.

Great job! Love all the new touches. I learned from my MIL who does design to put the height on the left for some reason it really balances things. Lovely job! Fun treasures and sweet family! ❤

Love the plant behind the tv! Everything looks great! And thank you for the reading! 🙏🏻❤

Kristen, the green tile is gorgeous! I bought this press on tile for my Laundry Room back splash and I love it!

Option 2 artwork for sure, colours, frame, size… All works better for the space

Decor magician! Such a stunning makeover.

The fireplace makeover has really improved the fireplace.

The faux tile is perfect! Looks so good!

The fire place looks so much better, the art you chose was the one I was rooting for!

It looks so warm and inviting!! Love it! And those sticker tiles look amazing!!!!!!

The fireplace makeover looks great! The new stove is so much better than the logs.

I love all your videos especially the true life “stuff”! Love all of you and your content.

Yes! I love how your living room turned out! The green just made it pop and gave it such a warm aesthetic. Your fireplace is amazing too! Great job, Kristen! I love it!

Option 2 for the painting. Your right on with the green and blue. Love the punch of color in this room!

Kristen, The room is beautiful. Love the picture over the mantel.

Kristen as usual you created a wonderful video! I love the green sofa!! The change in the fireplace looks wonderful. Are you able to hang your tv over the fireplace? You have a lot of straight line items with pictures and the sofas. Have you thought about a big round coffee table or ottoman? The green throughout the living room sure makes it all look so cozy! Give yourself and Josh grace for showing us a touching moment when we all need a time out now and then. Sometimes it's easier to get mad but taking a time out to refresh and regroup is so effective. You are so lovely and authentic. For some reason sometimes on my notifications (not just yours) I have to "re-click" my notifications button. Love following you!!!

I love large artwork. I always err on the side of larger art. Totally agree with option #2. Gorgeous and perfect image for that spot. Fantastic upgrades all around!

Kristen, you brightened my day every time you make a video! I wanted to let you know that I asked my granddaughters yesterday if they would like to start having tea parties, and it was an astounding yes! I am now on the lookout for those beautiful antique tea sets. Thank you for your outlook to life, motherhood and homemaking. You have really changed my outlook! Keep doing what you do!!!

I have always wanted green sofas. Love them. Room looks really pretty

Your home is so lovely and warm. I loved the living room before as well as the after. You truly have an eye for design that appeals to me ! Thank you for inspiring me in my home! I have raised 3 children ( all boys) as well and am at a different stage of life but remember how being thrifty and creative brought my home to a unique and bespoke style , much like you are doing. One last thing , the hydrangea art in my opinion is really pretty. God Bless

Adore the sofas, the new fireplace design and the Beach scene print is my pick for summer! Love it!

My vote is #2. Love the new couches! The color is fabulous!

Absolutely love all your videos and would even want more! I don’t comment too much because I don’t want to sound like a broken record!! 😂. Just so enjoy you, your beautiful family, your decor , scripture, and the humility in which you present yourself to the world. 🎉xxxxooo I’m always watching !

You are such a beautiful joy, to all our lives. Bless you, the minni make over is absolutely beautiful and inviting. 🌿

Looks great with the seascape print. Couch and rug and fireplace looks great! Also I think the brass candlesticks would look good without candles. I see that a lot! 😊

What a FABULOUS makeover! Love all the changes. Such a great refresh!

I absolutely love your videos. You are very talented and I’ve actually incorporated many ideas and tips into my own life. I often refer back to your wonderful videos as a reference. Also, I was quite surprised when you did your make up video as I use the exact same makeup and apply makeup similar to how you do it. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home and your beautiful family with us all.

Kristen, I love your videos. I love that you & Josh have such a loving & Christ-based marriage. I loved that he sat you on his lap & then all was better! ❤️. I loved what you did in your living room. You are so down-to-earth, & I love it.

Love the beach painting... the colors pull everything together. Love the rug too.... what a difference.

Ok first of all I want to say I just love you and your authenticity in your channel you are just you and you don’t try to fit in to the YT perfect world. The fact with the baseballs falling I loved that and the real life moment with hubby! The way he was with you is how my 19yr old son is when I’m stressed and upset he will just stop me and hug me and watching you guys just makes me know that he will be a great hubby! Ok secondly the fire place looks amazing the tile and the new fireplace inside. Thirdly that picture works best above there. Love the new couches and the “new” decor!! Thank you Kristin for just being you!! ❤❤

The fireplace looks amazing and so does all the other changes you made ❤

I love your videos. Thanks for the scripture reading. Before you buy more tiles, you might try painting the black spaces white. It might just end up looking like part of the white trim.

I have followed and loved you and your family since your first video. You have come such a long way and your warm personality is so contagious

YASSS to the cohesive rugs!!! And your fireplace & sofas are the LOVELIEST!!!

I love the green tiles I'm glad that you're going to leave them that way. They go so well with your new couches. And the art that you chose is perfect with all of the colors in the room and as well as your style. And of course, your new stove is perfect. You did wonderfully!

Love your videos! Love how you decorate! Love how you love the Lord!!!!! Have a great rest of your week !

Love the sofa and I love the beach scene for Summer 🤗💕. The little heater is perfect . Love the reading too .

LOVE the tiles! Living room looks beautiful!! Sweet hubby ❤❤❤
