Oh my goodness, I so enjoyed putting this video together! Hopefully, you are encouraged to take steps forward in your current space. It's an ongoing process and such a labor of love, but worth every minute! Let me know what you are working on this summer to make your home feel like you are stepping back in time!

Your home should be in a featured magazine. I am so tired of grey & white farm house decor that all looks the same. You have a beautiful, unique style. It should be showcased!

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.

Love you communication style and designs..Congratulations in being authentic.❤

❤Antique frames for prints. Antique gold leaf frames have a patina that new ones can’t match. They dress up a room and add to that European feel.

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! ❤️😊

I love old books, but my personal bar is I need to have read it, or want to read it!! In a small space, I have limited myself to 12 linear yards of books, which equates to 2 tall bookcases. I can pull individual books for styling throughout the year.

Did I enjoy this video, does a bear sleep in the woods?!!! Every minute was cozy and comfortable. I try to use items that I love, many from my Grandmother and Mother in law. I said before in a comment that I feel very nostalgic watching your videos. Thank you so much for your lovely content. God bless you always. 😊

Your advice on decorating is simplified with adding the right touch to groupings with different elements. All your rooms are beautifully decorated and I always comment on your bathroom, (😊) it’s perfect. Surrounded by nature, antiques and other objects makes it so charming. Thanks for saring your story. ❤🪴📚🕯️

Adding that piece on the ceiling is beautiful, because the house and its architecture is beautiful It would not look right in a suburban square box of a room with 8 foot ceilings. I do try to make my space fell curated over time. Love tarnished silver, old brass, vintage books, art, mixing patterns , textiles. Lots of little things that make a home cozy feeling.

Love this video. My home is From the 70’s and I lean towards vintage.

I live in a condo and it has been my goal to make it not look like one. I love vintage and antiques and have used them in all the rooms. On the walls, in the cabinets, etc. Next is tongue and groove for my bedroom. And wallpaper!

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.❤️❤️

We’ve always lived in the Southwest. Although it’s not vogue, I find myself decorating different themed rooms with second hand items. I guess I can’t be put in a box. 😂

I love LOVE this video! And, I need to add my name to the waitlist for the retreat you do next year. Thank you for the peace, beautiful video. It blessed my souls after such a rough week of sorrow.

I just moved into a new home. I took out all the door knobs and put glass style ones in. It makes such a difference!

Sarah, you are always so inspiring! The more I watch, the more ideas are sparked for my 1895 farmhouse. Thank you so much! oxJulia

Hi, Sarah. Absolutely beautiful styling and visuals in this video. One of the things I like most about your work is that you show styling in a way that gives ideas no matter what one’s décor preference is. Creating moments. Yes, so lovely.

Such creative inspiration , thank you so much for sharing with us. You have created the most beautiful home. Many blessings to you and your family. ❤.

Just a little edit needed: No. 4 Antique Furniture... a misspell on Antique! You have an R instead of a T! Lovely video! I would also add family photos in black and white, from old photo albums (grandparents, their parents, their old farms...etc.)

Such great inspiration! There are always takeaways from your videos. Lovely. Lovely. ALWAYS so lovely! ❤

Your videos are always so good and enjoyable and helpful, but this one I LOVE! So so helpful and I love seeing the details all put together. Thank you for your time of putting this together. Slowly working on my home to be like this. I am in love with antiques and home decor from the early 1900’s

I feel like I have a vintage heart but not a vintage mind You opened up some of my thinking by explaining things so well

Thanks for another brief tour of your home. It is so gorgeous and welcoming. Great ideas and beautiful antiques. ❤

Thank you! love it all. I love a bohemian look in my house and really now my next step is to rearrange kitchen cupboards and garage. Love homemaking!

Very inspiring 🖼‼️. Thank you for sharing this video. Beautiful moments throughout 💐❣️

You have a beautiful curated home 🏠 love all your vintage decor ideas and architectural designs in each room ❤️ You are such an inspiration…always enjoy your videos !

Beautiful

Beautiful 😊 An idea- we would love for you to share one of your favorite recipes and cook in a video.

Exteriors: We have a gas lantern on the front of our house which is always burning. It adds so much warmth , soft flickering light and charm. So if you have a way to install a gaslight , they can very inviting. Wisteria vines , ivy, boxwoods, geraniums, inpatients, old variety of roses, and ferns all grow well here in Virginia. I also like iron gates, old brick , wicker furniture , bird houses, sundials, bird baths, small fountains and little fish or frog ponds . 🐸

Im always inspired to do something after watching your videos!! I love this one : )

My home was built in 1900 but was stripped to the studs and redone (character was stripped too). Recently we’ve been adding millwork that I see in Victorian mansion museums in my area. I’ve also invested in legit vintage oil paintings in vintage frames. Ps, I have that wallpaper that’s in the Lincoln room in my laundry room

I love your videos! I love the music you use; it’s so relaxing. I can’t help but see misspelled words. #4 Antique is misspelled. Hope your renovation is going well!

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!

Great video Sara, very beautiful and nostalgic ❤ Blessings, Rosemary 🙏🏽

Really enjoyed this video - made me want to go thrifting! One of my favorite finds is an antique, English copper kettle. It adds a lot of cozy. I enjoy using it and the atmosphere it creates.

I anxiously await each of your videos! Thank you for sharing your ideas and your home with us!

I would so love for you to do a video on cookie cutter houses and ways we could style them. I have the hardest time decorating mine because i love farmhouse but it doesn’t match the style of my home. Any suggestions would be appreciated.😜💖

I love these kind of videos, I say, "oh yes, I have done that", and "oh I need to do tbat." You didn't mention carpet, and I know you use them. We are blessed to have wood floor in our 1940's Colonial, and I have found some good deals on marketplace. They really set a tone in the room.

Everything is so beautiful and relaxing! Love this video! Tfs❤

For me it is scent. Some smells like lavender, rose, lemon, vanilla give a certain added “vintage” accent.

Absolutely gorgeous! I love this so much! Great ideas!🥰

Sarah, I love the music in your videos. Can't wait to meet you at Bespoke! 😊

As always, Sarah, it’s a joy to watch your videos. I loved revisiting your home-the living room and the bathroom are so beautiful-and that gorgeous mansion! Have you ever considered recording or live-streaming your workshops for a fee?

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. Your ideas give me such inspiration! ❤

A couple other categories of art I like are watercolors and hand colored prints like Audubon … there were many others too. I have shells 🐚, birds …

Such wonderful suggestions, Sarah. Such an inspiration! I loved staying at the Mayhurst. I look forward to attending Bespoke again next year.❤

I completely believe you can make the inside of your hour feel like you. I have a log cabin but love my interior vintage with a bit of glam. I call it rustic glam.

The perfect way to think of decorating in any era…what would have been important to people at that time? What would they have surrounding them? To me, your words switched around my mindset. I’m not searching for decor, I’m just trying to outfit my home. Thank you.

A visual feast!

Thank you for sharing. Decor tips and antiques❤

My new home was built in 1972. I like French country, shabby and antiques.

Your home is beautiful, the ideas are practical for anyone to do

Lovely video! Thank you.

Beautiful video. Enjoyed!

One of the best! Thanks!

What is the wallpaper that you used in your bathroom? I love it & have been looking for The One for a posh powder room idea I have. 🥰

Never really followed trends & have always bought what I love so my home has that old world chic vibe that's so popular now. My problem is I'm having to downsize & that probably means an apartment. I'm not sure how to go abt decorating a "standard apartment" & still make it feel like a real home & not spend a lot. Plus most places don't allow for certain changes. Thoughts?!

Great video! Love all the tips!

I love your style. Im slowly trying to do more of it for my own place but also trying to tie in my husbands taste which is more rustic gamer. Lol

Your home is so beautiful! We share the same style. 😃

I'd love to see ideas of how to work in taxidermy to cottage, Victorian and European style. My husband hunts and we have two bucks, a bear, two ducks, a pheasant and turkey tails. I have trouble working them in. I feel like the taxidermy usually looks like cabin decor then my stuff is victorian/cottage and I'd like them to blend better. Surprisingly I haven't found many ideas on pinterest.

LOVE as always!! Wish we could be neighbors so we could sit on the porch and talk home decor!

I don’t know if you mentioned rugs… mirrors . Except for my kitchen, I have a mirror in every one of my rooms and in the hallway.

Enjoyed 😅 ❤

So beautiful and inspiring 💞Just wonder if you have separate a video of the sitting bench with the window in your living room. Did you make that yourself? Thank you 😊💞

Beautiful episode! Can you share where you purchased the mural wallpaper that you used in your bathroom?

What an intriguing video! I recently bought a condo built in 1913 so this video is such an inspiration. Two questions: I want to add a wallpaper mural in my foyer similar to the one you have. Where’s the best place to order them from? Secondly, I’m trying to figure out how to deal with the corners so the scene is continuous. Any advice? Where did you find the leather recliners? I love them. Thanks!

I really appreciate this video. Thank you! Could you tell me the color of paint on the walls and door in your living room please?

I adore you and your decor aesthetic! Quick question, I love and have many vintage baskets (all sizes). Some of my thrifted ones have beautiful antique look and form but ugly modern yelllowish stain color. Should I white wash them or stain them with mix dark gel stains for a true vintage look? I notice you don't use many white washed baskets in your decor. What would you do??

Good Morning! I know you probably have your Bible Study all planned out, but if you are ever looking for a life changing "Gospel Gorgeous" lesson, Kristi McLelland's "Jesus and Women in the 1st Century and Now was a life altering, mind blowing, made Jesus so much more than ever to me experience that I can not recommend it enough. 😊
