Getting ready for a cozy Christmas, home remodel update
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
I'm finally putting away the fall and Thanksgiving decorations and getting ready for a cozy Christmas at Sugarwood, our 1790 antique home in the countryside of New England. You will also see me driving our 1949 Ford truck for the first time and now I know it won't be the last.

Your trip back to the house in the truck sparked a treasured memory….and a tear or two. My Uncle would have all us kids jump into the back of his pickup and we would travel to different places on roads just like the one in front of your house. He was SUCH a great Uncle….thanks Linda. I’m doing just what your are doing. Thanksgiving back to storage, Christmas is slowly coming out. I LOVE the holidays!!

Enjoy your decorating!
You are so fortunate to have found a beautiful old home that's not on a busy road. 32 years ago I had my wedding reception at the Bedford Inn and it was beautiful!
The Inn is beautifully decorated for Christmas. Getting excited to see the Christmas decorating at your home. Thank you.
I loved that you shared all of your activities on this beautiful winter day and to see how beautifully decorated the restaurant was. Christmas must be magical in New England-I’m finding it hard to be festive here in Arizona this year…so far. I can’t wait to see what sort of work is going on next at your house when we meet again! 🎄
Dearest Linda, just a warm reminder to slow down, the new house, new business and the holidays. We love to watch, your taste is impeccable. From fellow genealogist ,collector and house history hunter❤.

Yes! Thank you!
Can’t wait to see your Christmas decorations Linda! It’s so peaceful watching your videos!
You have a lovely life. Thank you for sharing it with us. I can’t wait to see your Christmas decorations. God Bless you, and Happy start to the Christmas Season.
I have been waiting for your Christmas decorations to start going up Linda, your house lends itself to Christmas it looks magical… Thank you.😊🎄🎄
Oh, I so miss the Bedford Village Inn! Hoping to move back in 2024. Until then I’ll just live vicariously through you. ❤️❤️❤️
LOVE your Thanksgiving table, your china is gorgeous! Looking forward to your next video!🎄☃️❄️

Can you share the pattern name?
Would you consider making some videos of your property? I'd love to take a tour of the woods and maybe go treasure hunting! Exploring is always so much fun. Also, I really enjoyed seeing the road you live on. All those trees are so beautiful! Would you drive us around someday and show off your town and any points of interest? I personally love old cemeteries, churches, bridges, courthouses, streams, etc. The esthetic is so different from where I live. I can't get enough!
Good evening Linda! Love the artwork behind your Christmas tree…it’s like your tree jumped out of the painting! Willow seemed to be taking it all in stride and just wanted to take a good nap! She’s such a pretty girl! Can’t wait to see your Christmas decor! 🎄💕
Your videos are so enjoyable!
Hi Linda! Your Thanksgiving table was lovely. It is so neat to see items used in various ways…the metal shelves used for small patisserie! Love spending the day with you doing lots of things. Loved seeing the restaurant/inn all lit and decorated for dinner. I love that you and Ben do special things together…you know how to keep things interesting and fresh in your relationship. Looking forward to future segments with you!1. Thank you!
I packed away Fall today too…😕. I thoroughly enjoyed my Fall decorated home from 9/1-11/28. Time to bring in Christmas after letting our house “breathe” until Friday. I use a Winter pine tree decor theme in our family room which stays up 12/1-2/28. Sept-Feb is my favorite 6 months of the year 🥰.
That restaurant was beautiful How nice to enjoy Great feeling to put fall items away And put beautiful Christmas up Can't wait to see it
Your videos are never long enough for me! Looking forward to the next one! God bless you. 💜
Ben had a pretty hike back to the house. What a beautiful place for dinner-really festive. Looking forward to more of your Christmas videos-love the feel of your home.
Your home is beautiful and your old Ford is gorgeous!
Oh my, what a peaceful little road. That was so calming. Can't wait to see your Christmas Decor.
Thank you for taking us on your Holiday Journey! I put away my fall decor and am bringing up one box at a time of Christmas Decor. Mantle First!
I'm glad to see the ole girl found her spark!!🙌🙌🙌 Thanks for the link to the Flow and Go, great Christmas gift for the Mr. Have a great week.😁
Yes we are transitioning into Christmas too. So much fun to put decorations up. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Linda, that was the fastest 16.35 minutes I thought I just started watching and it’s over😢. Can’t wait to see more of everything your doing. Your friend from Athens Georgia 🎄🎄🧑🎄
Lovely music. Anxious to see your creativity flourish again this Christmas. ❤
Thanks for sharing.
Linda, what a trip down memory lane!!! My dad had a candy apple Ford truck...and Ben what a beautiful workout!! Merry Christmas to all🌲🙏
Loved seeing the destination for your date night. We sadly have nothing like this in central Oregon so keep those coming 🎄❤️‼️
Love your videos; good inspiration for me to finally get started with Christmas decorating! That was funny with your pumpkins, I really thought the faux pumpkin was the real one ...and vice versa!
It looked like a very nice drive it must be beautiful when the leaves turn colors.
I love your Thanksgiving plates. Looking forward to all of your decorating.
My family Thanksgiving meal was on Sunday evening, so I am cleaning and decorating while watching your video this morning. My heart leapt for joy when you said you'd have more Christmas content. Loved riding along with you in the old girl. My husband has one too. Well, he has two old girls, me and the truck. Lol.
Beautiful ride home. Wow that road gets narrow some places. Love the country. I loved the video. Thanks Linda.
You have such good taste! I feel at home watching your video!😊
I am doing what you are: putting Fall items away, cleaning and then starting on Christmas. I love Fall but Christmas with it's music is so special. I too like that white pumpkin you have. Perhaps you could have one made like it and sell it in your Amazon store. The Inn was so beautiful. Thanks for sharing it. I had to laugh when you got in to drive the truck...you sure knew where the gas pedal was!!! LOL. I have a Balsam Hill tree and wonder if you could tell me which model you purchased. Now I am going to turn up the music and decorate!
Beautiful just beautiful. I love balsam hill trees.
We had a truck like yours and traveled across country from Escondido, CA to New England. We pulled an Air Stream Trailer ...An adventure!
You could use the stand throughout the year for cut flowers or plants too. I hope to find something like this. You are so inspiring!
I love his truck 🛻!
What a trek home Ben had to walk! Much further than I would have thought. The inn was gorgeous. Can't wait to see your Christmas decorations!

Hello Linda! I'm so excited to see your videos it helps me get inspired regarding changing out decor and decorating for Christmas 🎄. Love the old truck. You don't see them like that anymore. I took down my autumn 🍂 decor yesterday and will be putting up holiday items. Was that ribbon you tie your tree up with? I never thought of doing that if it was. Can't wait for the next video. Have a great evening🌠🌜.
Love the truck. You did great driving it.
New England is magical. I could easily live in your region. We presently live in the Pacific Northwest, also a beautiful area.
Beautiful as always. My dad made all the girls learn to drive a standard. He said, you never know what kind of a situation might be in and a standard is all you have to drive.
Love, love, love your videos, you have the most smoothing voice😊
The music is beautiful
Love that truck
Didn’t want it to end!
I love the music that you use for your videos.
I was delighted to see that you have a new video and that you are starting Christmas decorating! I love autumn but am so ready for Christmas. You are amazing doing this through a huge renovation! I have a question. Whenever you show table settings or putting away tableware, I am so curious as to the pattern of your silver flatware. It is so pretty. Also, your music choices are wonderful! Thank you for your beautiful videos and all of your inspiration!
That stand could be used for plants I think my mother had one
Can’t wait to see you decorate ❤
I love your fur baby.
Hi Linda, what furniture sliders do you have on your dining room chairs they were very smooth! Thanks 🎄🏡Lauren
Can't wait to see the Christmas decorations ! Beautiful ! ❤🎄

Lovely video 🥰 The three tier tray , looks like one that my grandmother used for her African violets . Your husband’s truck looks exactly like one that our camp in VT used to transport us to Church , (the camp had several. ) Our camp color was green … (makes me wonder if it came from Beenadeewin ) Looking forward to your next video.This has been fun to watch as it sparked a couple of memories.

i actually bought the truck from a fellow in Vermont, but it was rebuilt by a man in PA, who was elderly and passed away right after finishing it.

Thank you ! Riding in the back of the trucks was an experience…many of the campers came from NYC or Boston. They lined the back with benches, and we held on to the slates , quite a bumpy but fun ride . Going to church was never as enjoyable as our camp days. 🛻🛻🛻
That was a fun video! Can't wait to see your Christmas decorations. May I ask what you use under your chair legs to keep them from scratching?

They have felt pads on the bottom that can be purchased at most hardware stores.

You mentioned new flooring. What type of wood is on your floors??
Great video! I am curious about the swap shop. If everyone is simply swapping items, vs. paying, who is running it? Is it something that a business does on the side as a convenience to the community, vs. to gain income? Thank you!
Love following your drive on the country roads! I have childhood memories of this with my dad! We have a vehicle with a broken gas gauge. We watch the mileage and fill up around every 200 miles!! I'm also taking down fall and starting Christmas decor!
👍👍
When you say gas we say petrol in Australia. Gas is natural gas, methane and doesn't go in petrol tanks.
Ben seems to be a good videographer. I love your home so much to the point of admitting I'm jealous. Sorry my Mum told me never to say that but I can't help speaking the truth. Xx

Thank you so much!! Yes Willow had to have a drastic haircut, but it is growing quickly. She has a sweater until then for outside
Loved your video once again!! We actually had the little gold shelf you had sitting on the table. It was upside down, if it is indeed like ours. It went in a bathroom. Turn it right side up. It will hang on the wall. The bottom straight bar is for a hanging towel. 😉

I know! So different with her hair cut. It had to be done, but now it's growing out.
Nothing like a gal who can drive a stick, on a dirt road nonetheless. Almost didn't recognize Willow with her recent grooming.
