Thank you for acknowledging that interior design is an ART! After retiring from a career in the arts, I am turning my attention to my home and my friends can't understand it. They think I need something more "challenging" to stimulate my creativity. But there's nothing I want to do more with my creativity right now than create a beautiful home that reflects the seasons.

Dear Gina, there is nothing more stimulating than creating your own home environment. I'm interested in early American history, so I have created that environment for my home. 1750-1840. Some antiques, some reproductions all of which are either garage sale finds, found on the road side, thrift stores and antique stores ( if the price is low). I find myself far more relaxed and looking forward to coming home in my created atmosphere. Go for it. Your friends will be amazed at your creativity.

Beautiful Gina, please show us!!!

There's something kind of magical about your videos. You have the midas touch where everything looks beautiful. Your lighting, your editing skills, and fun transitions are just amazing. I was trying to clean my kitchen, but I had to stop and make some coffee and savor every moment of the video. So beautiful! You're one of my top content creators.

I love how you "romance the Ordinary".

Thank you for pulling me out of EVERYTHING WHITE phase. I love DEARLY your designs.

Oh, I love that lamp shade! Can’t wait to see it styled. And velvet is my favorite! It’s so fun to see your style evolve but still stay so uniquely “you.”

Your room is so lovely. I wouldn’t have believed that using that many different shades of green could look as beautiful as you made it look. You did a great job. I enjoyed this video.

The shades of green are simply gorgeous! Your room is beautiful… I’m ready. Thank you. 😊🌷❤️

You do trendy easily, by adding the long lumbar bed pillow, and keeping all other elements older traditional style decor.

Dear Sarah, thank you for teaching and encouraging us in such a sweet way! I was so excited to “see you” twice this week!

I just got rid of all my silk pleated lampshades!!!! Ugh😢 also got rid of 2 velvet dusty rose tufted cane club chairs😮. I had them in storage for so long and it was time to unload and clear out stuff. Mind you, my niece inherited them and was absolutely delighted. They are loved. 🥰

This was beautiful. I love the color green bcuz it means life. The chartreusey (? Spelling) colors in the plants. The grass. New baby weeds & all growing everywhere. Chartreuse is everywhere. I love the color blue bcuz it’s in the sky & the ocean. These colors change from storms in each & then from sunshine. I love the color brown. It’s the dirt that feeds the world. Farms, our backyard gardens, & all our wonderful plants that are our food. Those beautiful little plants that grow in our gardens in the springs. Oooh… this just becomes magical to me as I speak about all this in this paragraph. These are God’s colors of what he gave us when he created the world & the earth & all it’s flora for us. He has blessed us. It’s all just so beautiful! These are the thoughts that come to me when I think of green in spring. These thoughts swarm in my mind with appreciation as I’m thankful even before a fall’s harvest. Green, green, green. I LOVE the color green!

Lovely. Yes, it's a room with spring freshness. The greens that you added remind me of the beautiful new grass that grows in the ditches in spring. It's such an amazing tone.

All of your projects are really lovely. You have inspired me to make a pleated lampshade, I have long admired them but I didn't realize how simple making one was. Your bedroom looks gorgeous dressed in it's green finery. Thank you for the very sweet video.

Thank you! I hope your pleated shade turns out lovely!

Don’t you love the ancient rhythm of the changing seasons? They bring a familiarity and newness in all at the same time. Join with me as I restyle our bedroom and carefully select a couple of trendy pieces to celebrate the new hope and life that comes with springtime. Let me know which ideas you will be using in YOUR spaces, as well! Xoxo

I pulled out my butterfly things last night too. After my last adult moves out this summer, I am headed to full blown naturalist type decor. Nature collections already took over my China hutch, but I plan to have all things nature inside. Many greens are finding their way in. It truly makes me happy.

Such a pretty bedroom

Sarah, that has to be the best pleated lampshade tutorial I've seen so far.....no sewing!! I love pleated lampshades, and they are very expensive. I am definitely gonna make my own now after watching this! Your bedroom turned out so beautifully, I love everything about it!

So love simple touches at change of seasons. Really like the way you keep things affordable and beautiful.

Have you done a video showing how you store all of your off season decor? Would love some ideas for storage.

The room turned out beautiful. I LOVE the lampshade so much!

I love the green Sarah, it's my favorite color and spring time just makes me so happy. All of the beautiful shades of green are so refreshing. I love your tutorial, I have several lampshades I don't know what to do with. However I love the look of your whole room. It's so comforting and inviting not to mention how beautiful it is.❤️

Lovely spring refresher. It is so satisfying to create something new for the seasons or your favorite holiday. I just got some new linens, incl two duvets - amazing how much that changes the room's atmosphere depending on the colors and mood you are creating. If BrookLinen has turquoise sheets I may just indulge myself once more. Finding the right bedding suddenly made the old room color feel spot on again but I realized that the room still needs a lot more TLC, it has aquired that dreaded tired air. I have never been a fan of pleated shades but my next projects will include three lighting DIY's that I discovered today on one of my fav channels on YT. A DIY golden lotus shade will turn that old floor lamp in the living room into something special. I do declare I love that gold instead of cold stainless or silver is back on trend - my spray paint arm may just turn golden:).

💝Springtime💝 I love your spring refresh…very inspiring and classy.

I can’t look at anything displaying images of butterflies without asking “Have the lambs stopped screaming?” 😂

I live where there are four distinct seasons and I decorate for All four despite my allergies (Spring) and heat intolerance (Summer) and am thankful for antihistamines and AC 😆

Everything looks gorgeous. That green velvet is to die for. Great job on the lampshade.

Your videos are always wonderful! So beautiful and classic...love the spring inspiration.💚 Thank you!!

Good morning, I love the traditional / cottage core decorating. The lamp shade is gorgeous and a simple way of adding in that little extra touch of color. So clever & beautiful.❤

Sarah, your ideas are always so inspiring.✨ I love the terrarium. Even without the glass, it’s super cute!✨

I love seasonal decor! I, too, have the same piece, The Velvateen Rabbit 🐇 It is on a shelf in my 17yr old son's room this season!!!! My son and I debated whether it got to stay in his room or if I was going to use it elsewhere!! 😂 He won the debate. So, in his room it stays!

Now I'll continue watching the video. I just had to acknowledge The Velvateen Rabbit 🐇 piece! 😆 🤣 😂

Lisa Bass also has a great pleated shade tutorial. I know you guys are friends in REAL LIFE 🥰

I love changing things up with "new" decor for the seasons. (Do I see a new green accent wall behind your bedroom fireplace coming in the future?) : )

I love the tutorial on the lampshade! I thought it would be a lot more complicated. I will definitely be trying this!

You have inspired me to break out my Spring decor! I love green and the velvet pillow is gorgeous.

Love the Velveteen Rabbit sign.

Love your decorating style, you pull together everything so beautifully. Just thought I’d let you know that the fabric you chose for the pleated lampshade (gorgeous) is not ‘knock of silk fabric’, it’s Tana Lawn by Liberty of London, very beautiful and prestigious fabric company from London 😉

Love the outcome. The Velveteen Rabbit is my favorite. Also the velvet lumbar pillow. I have not been to Joann's in a long time but I think I need to go and check out the fabric. Always love your videos. Thank you.

You are brilliant! Thank you so much for sharing not only the pleated lamp shade but the Rub and Buf gold tone. 👍🏼❤️

There is something so pleasing about shades of green in our homes. Thank you for sharing the reveal of your spring refreshed bedroom. It's so cozy and restful looking.🌿💮

Loved the pleated shade and the green velvet pillow. I really loved it all! ❤

LOVE the pleated shade and pillow! Very pretty!

Your room looks so lovely and fresh! Love the sheep print and green velvet pillow! Those sheets look beautiful, and on my need list. I am just refreshing my home with Spring looks, so this was timely!

Thank you for sharing your tips. I will be doing the lampshade tip. I’ll try to remember to send you a photo. As always, you’ve got great taste!

I was just starting to phase out winter decor and you’ve energized me! That soft green sheet color with white is so pretty!

Thank you. This was beautiful. I always learn something and have used several of your suggestions and tutorials over the last couple of years since watching you.

I LOVE it! Beautiful! BTW-your skin looks amazing! I also love the style of your videos and how you type old school rise and shine messages!!

Hi Sarah! Love the fresh green! Brings hope for spring😊. Right now I'm doing valentine's decorating ❣️

💚💚💚 love it and it makes me happy to know that the Spring is coming soon ☺️

This is so inspiring 🌸🌿🌷

I love the shade tutorial! Thank you!

OMgoodness ... love this video, fabrics, and soft greens. Just this morning a friend told me about using rub and buff on a couple frames I thrifted (I have no experience with it) and here you are using it! You have great style. Thank you for sharing! 👍😊💕🍃☀️

I always enjoy your videos. This was fun to see what you created and how you used it. I love to see your vintage inspired home. The trend a few years ago was everything farmhouse. Now most of the homes i see are leaning towards the studio mcgee or amber interior vibes. I think a lot of those things are pretty but it is nice to see something more unique.

Sarah - you are such a treasure! I love all of the spring decor for your bedroom - it's so very lovely! We had snow flurries yesterday and I was looking out the window to see how my bird friends were faring in the wind and cold! As I looked out, I saw my first crocus and thought 'time to decorate for spring!' I love all the green and the rich textures too!

I love your framed velveteen rabbit. Wonderful.

So lovely, and perfect timing. I was going to be working on a pleated shade soon, and I didn't know I was going to re-style my fireplace mantel until I got inspired by how lovely yours turned out.

Watched your video this morning…made a pleated lampshade this afternoon! It turned out so pretty!! :D Loved your video and the lampshade tutorial! Thank you!!

Love love all of the varied shades of green. Color lifts me up as It is a breath of fresh air. I am also going to try that lampshade. I have watched other tutorials and they all seemed so difficult. Yours looks easy and turned out so pretty. Thanks

So soo pretty I too am having lots of color 🤗💕.

I love your channel and i do love the use of the changing seasons in interiors....especially in linking to the garden and landscape. I have different rooms in my house with each a difference seasonal theme....my light filled kitchen is Spring and my dark study is autumn.....though i add in suitable seasonal plants and adapt them a little it means i can visit a different season in each room. On a grey wet day my floral, summery rooms cheer me up, when i need quiet and calm my cool, dark study is a lovely prayer retreat space. Your beautiful video has given me ideas for how to layer and adapt....thankyou so much.😊

Your room is beautiful, your video is fun, and I'm so glad you showed us how to make a pleated lamp shade! I can't wait to make one to update an existing lamp. Thanks!

Always a beautiful design, thank you for sharing some spring inspiration…

I love the green accents in this room. Green does not go with my color schemes, but I always love it. Especially mossy , deep greens. As for the pleated lamp shade.... I think a floor lamp next to the wicker rocker would look really nice with the pleated shade.

The room looks beautiful! I love all the greens that you’ve been using, and they bring spring to your room.

Love it. My favorite color is green.

The little greenhouse would also be beautiful with some African violets 💕 I also have the same one as you! Your bedroom looks beautiful

Tasteful and elegant-as always!

Girl.... ALL my favorites!!! and you are SoRight!!! I love the green, velvet the sheep... the lampshade, too!!! I've got so much fabric .... What a perfect way to start the weekend!!! Gotta share this one... psst!!! The strawberries 🍓 😍 Making Strawberry preserves... I woke up dreaming of them!

Love the soothing green 💚

Oh my, that little lampshade is darling, would love to try this. TFS

Thank you for saying where you got the green throw on your mantelpiece. I went right to Amazon as it was just what I was looking for to complete my Spring Sofa look. ❤
