Is really painful to think that pretty soon all of this peace and freedom to enjoy the things we worked so hard to obtain, will be just a beautiful memory, we have to pray for this Nation😢

I am so in love with your channel! I have never known a woman who works as hard as you do and with those power tools! You have so many God-given talents and I love watching you. You’re such an inspiration!❤️❤️❤️

Listening to the birds singing and to the water trickling, while rubbing the cats - I would sit on that porch ALL day long!! -never getting any work done 😊 Absolutely love your space! Perfect area for prayer & meditation too. 🙏🏼

Why is it that after watching your video, I feel the need to get up and get busy! You are inspirational!

Wednesday is my favorite day of the week , because I can watch a new video that you make .Everything it’s just so beautiful. Thank you ,you are an inspiration for us all xx

Am I the only one that dropped their jaw when she put that heavy gas-powered blower on her back like it was a purse??! She is so amazing 🙌🌸🌺

I have to admit.. after watching your channel for a bit, I got up, and thought.. how would Mary schedule her day..? And I got to work on some long put off projects! Thank you for shaking the dust off me :)

I felt I was sitting on your front porch drinking my morning coffee with you while watching the end of your video. Lovely inspiration, such an inviting space.

I can only say WOW. Amazingly beautiful. I'm 70 yrs old now and used to run around and about like you. Lots of plans and ideas, not as good as yours, but I loved creating.

Love to hear the birds sing and see your beautiful yard. Very inspirational.

Beautiful - recently I've been wishing my dingy kitchen walls were painted since they are the same as when we moved in 30 years ago - still with someone else's badly painted stencils around the window and doorway. 'They're going to be,' my husband says. 'Cottage white. We have gallons of cottage white.' (Translation - same color as they were originally - builder's cream leftover from a previous repair job in another room.) I've been moaning to myself about how boring cottage white is. But with the sage green, oh man! So fresh and pretty. I had forgotten that I really do like cottage white. Thanks! I'm ordering some gingham yardage to go with the green fabric I already have and that kitchen's going to get dolled up for spring.

You are one amazing lady. The energy and creativity that you have is just beautiful. Your home is so lovely and serene. The porch came out beautiful.😍😍😍

This is exactly what we need right now, such a comforting and relaxing inspiration, thank you Mary!!!

Those little plastic containers at the bottom are a great ideal for the drainage system. I never thought of that I'm going to use it

I wish I could be more like you. I’m in such a complete depression that I don’t leave my bed very much anymore. Grieving over the death of my only daughter feels like it’s gonna kill me. I wish I could just sit outside or find joy in anything these days .

Love the porch! I would never get anything done - would spend all my time just relaxing out there!

How blessed you are to be able to live in that beautiful place. You did a great job.

I love the idea of the potted trees! The porch looks amazing with the new panels. What a wonderful welcome to your home.

Seriously one of the most beautiful porches I have seen. I LOVE it!

You are a true inspiration. Thank you for taking “us” with you to the greenhouse, I really needed to get out of the house today. The porch is absolutely delightful !

I never get tired of seeing natural plants looking like a forest with white flowers....You always do such a good job,and I know, y'all will enjoy your porch.. Good job!

Got to love a woman who uses power tools wearing a dress! Good job & the porch makeover is great. Well done.

Such a beautiful retreat you have created, and so peaceful!!

This is one of our most beautiful videos, Mary. Love the greenery, water feature, pillows EVERYTHING! Your property is lovely and welcoming, LOVE THE SONG BIRDS, a little piece of heaven. Thanks for sharing, looking forward to the next one. Blessings

what i really love is your style with neutrals, black, white, greens,,,,just gorgeous!

OMG!! This front porch is a dream. I wish was sitting in that white rocking chair with a glass of ice-tea letting the cool breeze embrace me and just close my eyes breathing the fresh air with no mask!!....And enjoying the beautiful scenery. Thank you Mary for sharing this beautiful video. Greetings from New York City🗽🙏🙋💕🌻🌷

What a peaceful and serene place to sit and enjoy all of God's creations. TFS and have an amazing day.

Just lovely! Makes me want to curl up on the swing and read a book or cat nap. Or just sit in the rocking chair with my eyes closed listening to the sounds in your haven of nature. I’ve been so anxiety filled for lots of reasons, and I cannot explain the calming affect your video had over me. I especially love when you stop to “smell the roses” like when you pointed out the birds singing. I’m always inspired by you. Thanks for doing what you do and sharing your slice of heaven!!

Very nice Mary! I love when people do spaces like this, but my mind always goes to “what a nightmare to try and keep clean, with dust, bugs,and bad weather always ruining everything”, LOL

7:53 I love that sound! That place is amazing..simply a gift of GOD.

Mary, your porch looks beautiful. I would love sitting out there. It is so peaceful and love the sound of water. Your lattice turned out perfect. You live in a beautiful place. Love all the green and white with touches of black.

So beautiful and relaxing. It's hard to believe you find time to enjoy it, you're always so busy.

Ohhhhhh....I absolutely love it! It’s like a spa. I have a suggestion for your lattice. A fantastic white, easily germinated, climbing annual plant is white moonflowers. It’s a cousin to the morning glory. It blooms in the evening and has huge white fragrant flowers. It’s fun to watch the huge flower unfurl in the early evening and bloom. Thanks for sharing. Your porch is perfect.

Laura from garden answers mentioned you. Cant wait to binge watch your channel

I don't know why I have never thought of putting the used flower trays in the bottom of my containers! Such a great idea.

Wow! if your'e not already a designer...you could teach a class! What a great sense of space, colour and textures....but also something extra most designers lack - that natural ability to create a sensual kaleidoscope for all of our senses to experience that space rather than just occupy it. So intuitive in 'knowing' the perfect details , placement and optimal use of materials !! *me giving standing ovation *

Beautiful. I remember so many of your decorative pieces from past videos. Love your outdoor space.

Mary has such an instinctive style and a very green thumb. The more I see of her home place the more it reminds me of the area my dad was born and raised...so fresh and beautiful. ~~Debbie Z

I made a huge mistake once. I put mint in the flower bed in the front of our townhouse and vinca in the back. I spent the next seven years trying to keep it from taking over our yard and running into my neighbors roses. I couldn't get rid of it. Lesson learned was to keep those plants in pots.

What a soothing environment. Would love to sit outside in the morning and drink my coffee.

Your porch is so inviting. What a beautiful place to sit and listen to the birds chirping and trickling water. It’s so neat to see so many of your DIY’s on display Mary. You are terrific. Love your channel.

Absolutely beautiful. I would be sitting all day in this lovlieness, and not getting any work done.

Just beautiful! I love your home place so much and I also love a rainy day and what it does for my plants!

Thank you Mary! 🙏 You have not only inspired me but you have also given me confidence to take on projects that I normally wouldn't have. I have a passion for trash to treasures and I enjoy those pieces more than store bought. My wish is to have a truck so that I may pick up the great things I find on the side of the road for free!

I don’t know any woman that works harder than you! I love your ideas!

When I want to relax I watch your channel☺️ you are amazing in all the things you try and accomplish. I like to see strong women get it done! You imagine it and do it. Even if it might not work exactly the way you envision you always make it pretty👏👏👏👏Bravo.

I wish u could bottle up ur energy... I’d be first in line to buy it all up. 😊 Mary, ur porch is so beautiful. Love all the greenery u placed around up against the white. Ur so blessed with all those trees around u that ur porch area must be very refreshing n cool to just sit n listen to the birds. Where u live u have so many birds that make beautiful music n oh how I miss that. I too, look so forward to Wednesday to see a new video that Mary is sharing... u always make my day n definitely inspire me. Take the rest of the day off u deserve it. God bless my friend. Michelle (Shelly)

Love that sink fountain. Bet the birds like it too. TFS

What a glorious sound!! I could listen to the birds forever.

Your porch is so beautiful with all your plants! I so much enjoyed watching you bring it together. You are such an inspiration and have given me some ideas on how to decorate my porch. Thank you for sharing!

I want to come visit just so I can Sit A Spell! Looks so serene. Love it when you show a little footage of the cats! 💙

Wow, you have talent. What a great cozy spot to relax. I never would have thought to make a fountain with an old door, sink and mirror.

Amazing - WONDER WOMAN !! my kiind of person, independent and do it yourself instead of waiting for someone to do it for you !! thank you for sharing !! down-to-earth presentation !!

What a beautiful oasis. I love watching your kitties as much as the projects you do. Keep up the good work! ❤️

Love the little green lantern hanging on lattice panel!!!!!!! Of course, everything else too!

How clever of you to use your leftover plant cells at the bottom of the pots for drainage!! I am certainly going to be doing that. Thanks so much for the idea. As always, great video Mary.

Very clever for drainage and they take up space and saves money on soil.

The plants always look so pretty when first planted and a few weeks after. But then they all get too big and my cute little garden looks overgrown and I am overwhelmed. This is my first time watching your video. You are so cute and so capable! You didn’t talk for the first three or four minutes like so many other video makers do and you got right into the topic of your video. I appreciated that. Your porch looks beautiful!

This is my absolute favorite re-do so far. The faucet and sink , oh my, I want that!

this turned out so beautiful and i'm excited to see how everything will grow in the next few weeks!! i think clematis (leather flower) would also look great on the new panels. they come in all kinds of colors, even white😉😊

So beautiful peaceful and relaxing. I admire your beautiful talent. Love the old door with the sink and of course your swingers bench. 🦋😊

Really lovely, Mary. Now, if only we could rid beautiful outdoor areas of mosquitoes.

those chirping birds added mood to the patio

I love it all Mary! You just have that gift of making all things beautiful. Such a nice place to relax and enjoy nature.🌿

I just love to watch and listen to you. Your such a gentle spirit, a kind and truly lovely woman. You have such an awesome style and creativity is unlimited. You could make anything beautiful. Thank you for all you do and share.

You have energy to burn, amazing how you tackle a project and see it through to perfection. When you mentioned creating a cozy space to sit in for hours, I can't see you sitting and relaxing for more than 15 minutes! haha ~ I didn't think I'd like such a minimal color theme of plants and decor, but I loved it. For someone who tries to limit her spending, it was a nice surprise to note where you allow yourself to splurge. Lots, and lots, and lots, of new plants to adorn you deck. The lattice project was a perfect addition. I cannot praise the design of your desk enough. You need to take photos to post on pinterest since your deck is a designers dream. Also, please make sure you bring us back to see how the deck looks in a month or more, when all your plants have grown to fill their pots.

I am so impressed how you just brought out those power tools! I can definitely see myself having a glass of lemonade enjoying this beautiful porch! Very Nice!

Mary, it’s beautiful! That would definitely be my happy place.

As I’m sitting here watching Minneapolis being put on curfew I see your beautiful peaceful porch. Thank you for this video!

I really admire you Mary for making everything look doable !!

I love color and I love white. I have found that the white variety of most flowers is often the most fragrant. Very nice, Mary. I’d always be out there reading, listening to nature. Yes, you inspire me.

I love how you find ways to blend with nature

poodlegirl55 was thinking of doing the same. I adore watching Mary’s Videos. Getting too old for all this myself. My days would be taken up just cleaning all this☘️

I am sitting here having a late lunch and my wheels are turning. I am going shop my yard first and pull out some plants and pot them because I can probably take the potted plants with me to GA. So inspired right now. Thanks!!

Turned out so beautiful & peaceful. I would never have the ability to do all that & care for it but can live vicariously thru you! Thanks for sharing.

So pretty! It looks wonderful and so inviting! But PLEASE start using safety glasses when you are sawing, using the gas blower, and any other job that your eyes might receive an injury during. My husband taught "shop" for many years and that was his number 1 rule. Love you and your creativity!

What an oasis of greenery, I love what you have transformed, Mary it looks incredible and a space worthy of just chilling, perfect xxx

Everything looks very peaceful and serene!! Just a wonderful place to sit with a cup of tea and a book.

I officially watch your videos to de-stress and relax now. I just love your style and eye for design, it's so natural.

I have been shopping in my yard this year. I was able to fill some pots. I couldn't go to the garden center. I have always taken a shove an cut my ferns to make two. They grow fast and fill in the pots.

Beautiful and peaceful 👏👏👏👏👏

I love seeing a woman who can use tools.

This is just beautiful, the natural beauty of nature and to hear the birds chirping; I would just love to hang out on this porch all day

WOW you did a breath taking job it’s gorgeous

Soooo lovely. What a peaceful place to rest. Well done you! ❤️❤️❤️

Definitely inspired me! I don't have a porch but I have a carport so cleaned it off, got my old ladder out Painting it white and putting plants on it. And arranged my wicker furniture, now I'm on a roll , plus have old shutters and a trunk I'm going to paint. thanks to you Mary! 😊

Mary, you never cease to inspire me. Happy International Women’s day! Beautiful as usual.
