We like watching you pull inventory cause your basement is soooo incredibely organized and it is inspirational and cool to see whats selling, Some of this stuff I dont see you thrift so its like a second thrift, for me at least 😃

You are motivational. I'm sitting here, thinking about doing laundry and you are painting floors, thrifing, making videos, pulling shipping and painting the outside of your house. WOW. I'm exhausted from just typing all of that. 😅😅 Lisa is awesome as well. Love her work ethic. Guess she gets it from her mama. 😀 Thanks for sharing.

What did I just witness !!! The cleanest most organized basement of my life that I have ever seen,I'm so blown away,speechless, and she is so Humble,perfection of a human being.

Ok, I'm exhausted!!! You have more energy then a 20yr old.

I think it is so good that someone values a thrifted item to be given as a gift, and received by someone who will love it also. So glad you were happy to enclose a greeting to her Mom.

I’ve been painting my resale furniture with Sherman Williams alabaster; love it! My home is bright white with green roof and shutters and I painted my front door a deep coral pink. Strangers tell me it’s the prettiest house they ever saw.

Love how you all work together. Lisa is amazing!

Karen, as long as I have been listening and that's from day 1, I have never heard you so chatty!! I was giggling the entire time while you did your thing. One of my favorite videos ever and I love seeing Lisa. I was looking forward to watching her and Dylan this year but we know life happens!! Your house is coming out beautifully. When I paint, it looks crazy ugly because I use acrylics and jeez, it takes many layers so I know your house will be beautiful......Hello to Lisa..God bless you happy Karen. Chat away with us.

I love seeing Lisa too. She radiates goodness.

With all white - you won't have any visual interest, your eye needs a place to rest. I definitely like your idea of trimming out windows and casing in gray (or any color). Paint the casing around the glass front door any color but white. When you replace your siding you could do a do a dark matte gray siding. You could also design an architectural "eave" over the front entrance. Will keep your packages and guests dry. You know about visual interest when you shop at Goodwill and you dress amazing. A house needs a belt, and some jewelry and a sweater OR think my house needs eyeliner, mascara and lipstick.

Since you announced your engagement with Roger, your following has increased 1000%. I'm so happy for both of you. Both hard workers very hard workers, you deserve everything God has for you.

I love your house and admire you for all the improvements you’ve done! EBay has been a great business!!

Thanks for the shout out Karen. It was great meeting you and Roger. Made my day. Love watching your channel.

Your the most organized reseller I have ever seen!

You should get a shopping cart to pull all the inventory as you go along and make less trips to the table. LOL

I am always AMAZED at your organizational skills👍🏾. The amount you must budget on plastic bags and totes, labels 😊. No you are not a hoarder, but a very well organized business woman.

You are the most organized reseller I have ever watched! I am amazed at your basement store!!!

Thank you so much Brenda!

Those Goodwill prices are outrageous. I know a lot of people that won't even source from there anymore.

❤Thank you for the great video. I love your humor when you take me/us thrifting👏 I understand that house better. I was born in the late 50's. We lived in a shack for 3 years until we had a real home. I loved this video and the love you and Roger share is refreshing to see💋So fun to see your sweet daughter. God bless you all🙏❤

Hello Karen! You are one very busy lady! And thank you for squeezing in soo much to your video. Shopping with Roger was first, he is so cute and still showing those legs in his shorts 😍. I'm glad you adjusted the camera during the inventory pulling in the basement. Great to have the pro,Lisa and even George to paint the house. Looking forward to seeing it all done. Great video!

My Mom and I went Thrifting today- at a local Mission Thrift Store and down the road is Goodwill. Both stores were half off today! I felt so much like you today, my cart was full’ only paid about $49.00 I should be able to triple my money with my stuff. I have 3 Vendor Booths. Thank you for your inspiration!

You need a shopping cart in your basement. Lol. At least you get lots of steps in.

The white paint is going to look fresh and clean. 👏👏💕

Great video! Your thrifting travels are so inspirational.

So glad you took out the hedges Too much work. Lisa is a hard worker. We enjoyed her remodel series too❤

Great video ! I do wish I had your energy!! The house is looking great and can’t wait to see the painting finished. That is a huge job to do. ❤

You are so organized!! Lovely to see ❤️

Just love your videos Karen! Your energetic personality is so motivating. Thank you for taking us shopping with you!

I really enjoy your videos very positive and upbeat. I love how organized you keep your thrifting items. Can’t wait to see your home with the final paint……

Oh!!!!! My favorite, pulling the merchandise. I could watch this all day. Thanks 😊 for making my rainy day Sunny.

Keeping it real I love that about your videos..watching from NZ..Keep up all your hard work.

Love your videos, I watch them all. Thanks for sharing your house painting project, look good 😊

Thank you for sharing the makeover you were doing on your house. How wonderful that your daughter and you and Roger did this together.

Thanks for showing us the paint project. I truly enjoy your channel.

We bought two of these online at the height of the summer heat under a different brand name: "ChillWell"--sadly, it didn't...!😖 I think Arctic Air is the same thing in a different package. The units look identical. Unfortunately, these so-called mini air coolers do not provide the cooling comfort they advertise. You will be seriously disappointed if you believe their hype! However, they can make dandy little personal fans because of the adjustable louvers and the four fan speeds you get. That's what we use ours for now--and a ruddy bargain for $2.99 at Goodwill! (But NOT at the $89 price WE paid...😑...can you say "sucker"?)

Those Aldos were so cute!! If they're comfortable i would have fun putting rhinestones on them!

The children’s The North Face jacket Roger found was an awesome deal! I just bought my grandson a very similar jacket & it was close to $200. Great find! Edit- “They must be on drugs”- you have no idea how many times I’ve said that while shopping at a Goodwill. (I actually no longer shop there because the employees at my local stores are full blown addicts now if you are comparing their pricing to their drug use, lol) P.S-of course I am just kidding, but I do really wonder what they are thinking when they price a Dollar Tree item at $6.99! xo

It is really random sometimes.

Maybe you could find some metal wall hangings. You could hang them on each side of window in the front that has the larger blank space. It would be the jewelry for the house and would be something different than the usual shutters.

2nd comment- I love how you price your items so reasonably. I see so many resellers asking at least $18.99 (some even $22 or more) for their mugs plus $15-$18 shipping, regardless of the quality or desirability of the mug. I always wonder who pays over $35-$40 all in for a mug?!? Also, so many other items listed with unreasonable inflated prices. You are very fair & I appreciate that! xo

Do your gutters and downspouts in black. Trending and very classic😉‼️

The bedroom vanity looks terrific! LOL at the beginning of this vid. I hate painting but am good at it too! I think you just need to take your time. Cheers!

Hi Karen, I painted my old oak kitchen cabinets Alabaster and love the color. Thank you for the tour.

Karen your house is cute as a button! The yard is nice and your neighborhood is to die for! Good luck with the painting!

I always enjoy best what you sold videos! You help me look for more quality items, just wish I could find them lol! Your house is looking nice, great job. Debbie

Nice job on the house. Good to see Lisa!

love your storage.

Always learning from you, thank you!

Great job with improvements on your home! You could shutter the window that would fit shutters, and do a window box in the same color on your dining room window to add depth.

Unfortunately, a window box would impede the walk to the front door especially with all of the inventory coming and going

I appreciate your eclectic approach in buying items of multiple genres. I watch several resellers but almost everyone has a personal "niche" and declining what appears to be (to me) good items for resale.

Maybe flower boxes under the windows If you are looking to breakup the white. I think it’s going to look very nice.

I spotted a Partylite nativity next to the (not as classy) snowman. Lol! I used to sell it many years ago. Love your videos!

I loved the lamps I saw when you were in the basement! Going to look for them.....Watch all your videos as soon as you post them. Love your personality and and knowledge. I was in our Red Racks and Goodwill today, and kept looking for things like you find. I did get some lovely white baking dishes. They were so heavy, and I thought "Karen, would not ship this!" Good thing I bought them for me. I got a great deal!

House looks great and the white is good. Looking forward to seeing the end result.

Thanks for clarifying the button down shirt distinction.

I wish I had your energy, we bought a Log Cabin on 7 acres when we retired, I never wanted to paint again, but lol we have to protect the wood with a water resistant stain. You never get away from painting, never. I just love your content. I love seeing you and Roger, you make a cute couple, I think you were made for each other!

There is a house near us that has a limestone exterior and a few years back they painted it a dark gray with black trim. It is beautiful. They also rebuilt the small covered porch with cedar color stain and new railings. That house really looks sharp. Love your basement organization!! I used to have my own painting business for about 12 years and worked at Sherwin Williams for 3 years. I always tell people that for me it is anything but white. When we built our house in 2016 and they asked my opinion about a color for the garage interior I said anything but white so it is painted a pale creamy yellow.

I had that portable AC and it did not work that well at all. A lot of work with wetting the filter and freezing it and keeping it filled with water. My little fan on my nightstand put out more air. That’s probably why all those ended up at GW!😂

Indigo are the Artisan Clarks and desirable!

U r A very well organized hoarder❤❤

Your storage is WOW.

I'm very fond of Werther's sweets as well...the choc eclaires..yum yum!

Yay shipping! More shipping videos

I love your house and that you shared it with us! I am moving to Tennessee from Texas soon and I am excited to find a house with a store size basement ❤❤😂

Wow!!! It is bright! Lol

Y'all sure have a lot of lawns! Lots of mowing!

I prefer a cold white paint because the warm white always looks pink

I absolutely love the yard. I'm a yard girl and you are a piece of property is dynamite. The house looks good. That fake Stone can be a real problem especially if you do power washing a lot and it can really chip away so good that you covered it and I'm sure the end product is going to look fabulous you've done so much and it is really an adorable home.

Yes! 💜👍

I think a different color for the siding at each end would look good. Perhaps the same color as door and trim around windows. Shutters on the middle window and window boxes under the other front windows?

Would love to see a video of you processing the circular racks of clothes and putting them away.

Wow! I sold those exact same Enesco mice for $15 just a week ago. Straight profit because I got them for free lol And me too, I’m never ready for thanksgiving or Christmas because I don’t celebrate either holiday 🤣

Arctic Air Chillers: Bought 2 of them for this past Summer, when it got hot. They worked well. Got them new off eBay (who had the best price) and paid about $80 shipped for them. If you have the room to hold them, until next summer, they'd likely be a good profit margin.

I like your house it’s very lovely you have done a beautiful job redoing it .I think you should put in two bay windows I know they are expensive but I think that would look so beautiful .😊

Your comments about the bazillion shades of white paint made me laugh. Way too many choices for my brain so went with colour have been using for 30 years - Navajo White. You always look so well ‘turned out’ and look as though you would smell nice!!

Looks good... White House Black Trim would look good...

On the red Aerosoles, I didn't catch how much they were, but red shoes sell very well. And quick (for me).

Lovely home. You need a back patio w pergola in back. Amazed a 70 yr old home has never had one. You've got a blank canvas.

It's looking so great Karen! What a job that is! Is this your forever home or will you eventually sell? So many wonderful updates, it will make a great profit if you sell!

You have a beautiful home and yard; thanks for protecting the neighborhood animals. Your thrifting and organization always intrigues me to source and list every chance I get! You are amazing, thanks for sharing 🥰🤩

The outside of house looks nice so far

Perhaps you could do a haul from your well organized stash. I have a feeling there's a lot of treasures there that most of us have never seen. I think you would possibly make a few you tube sales from a video like this. Love your videos by the way.

I couldn't see it that well, but I probably would have picked up the Santa mug at 11:57. Similar to Brinn's

I love these longer videos where we get to see a bit of everything! I am wondering how difficult it is to decide what shipping will cost? Do you weigh everything?

I agree diversify be open to selling anything that is legal and gets you good profit .. Even businesses diversify . Stock holders diversify their portfolio. Do not put all your eggs in one basket. Gas is too expensive to travel all that way and leave with nothing to resell to at least cover the cost of your gas if not your time . I use to watch this one YT resellers and she would scream find your niche ... umm yeah that is would be a NO I would leave with nothing wasting my time and gas ... not like you are going to find vintage glass every time you go out and not all of that glass is worth a lot plus packing materials is expensive

Lovely, big yard. You certainly have a lot going on. Curious, how did come up with the name for your store?

“These people are on drugs!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Love the color of your living room!! What is it called?

Do you ever get lucky at Walmart when they have $1.00 clearance ? All the book bags were $1.00 All the $50.00 work boots,shoes,eye glasses,jeans,bras,purses,face cream,vitamins etc. everything $1.00 ,people go crazy,it's such fun,we bought a lot of shoes for the homeless ministry.

White is going to be very pretty on your house. Painting the sills a different color would also add some depth if just white ends up looking too flat on its own.
