Absolutely beautiful! It has the feel of comfort and peace ☺️ When I consider the sounds of all the birds and the water feature, I feel like you’ve got a slice of heaven right there. If I lived there, I bet I’d never struggle with stress or anxiety again. God bless you!

I can't say it enough how beautiful your property is. The porch is so welcoming and full of serenity and peaceful vibes. I love it so much!

She is blessed to live there. 💗

Mary, your home is so beautiful and welcoming. I can sense God's peace and sweet comfort in every inch of your home and property. A wonderful refuge, especially "for such a time as this" we are living in. May the Lord continue to bless and use your gifts and talents for His glory. Thank you for all that you do to bless others.

Always a delight to watch your transformations dear Mary! You are an inspiration to us all.❤

Mary, John I love, love the “new” deck! The railing is perfect & definitely adds country charm. Great job you two! Totally worth your effort! So glad you are reusing the table & chairs and water feature. I do like when the door looses some paint. Love the sound of the water. The bike, poet’s pillow, so inviting and charming. Thank you for taking me along.

I so look forward to you doing your front porch every year! It's just so beautiful and relaxing! Thank you for always such wonderful inspiration Mary!!!

Mary, what a great makeover! I'm really glad you kept the water feature :-) I have painted all my garden furniture with blackboard paint, very strong and cheap and it dries within minutes. And the black combines great with the greens and the flowers.

Mary, you are blessed!!! Your love of nature is always evident in your designs and decor....also your photos are awesome...would you ever consider doing a book with pictures of plants and flowers??? You could co-author with your sister!!! ❤😊😊

So many ideas, I wish I was thirty years younger.

It wouldn’t be Mary’s BEAUTUFUL porch without the iconic vintage sink ❤

I don't know what I was enjoying more, the makeover, or hearing nature's songs being sung. As always, I hated to see it end.

Love when you decorate on a budget by using things you already have. Power washers are the best aren’t they? Your front porch is heavenly. Thanks for all the great ideas, motivation and inspiration you provide to all your followers each week.

Your videos give me joy and relaxation. Birds singing, water running, and beauty. I could sit there all day, but then I would get nothing done. lol

The floors of the decks are amazing. Keep the bike it is beautiful. I look forward to your posts every week. 🌸

Hi Mary, you’re so incredible creative. I love watching your videos every week. I am looking forward to see what you will post next Wednesday.

I have enjoyed watching you bring these outdoor spaces to life over the years. This turned out beautiful and so serene, the water feature never gets old.

Oh that display is ever so lovely, but that cat steals the show every time, I hope that he/she appreciates and approves of all the efforts you put in (for its sake) is worth it 💕

Ive been waiting for this portion of your deck to get the "Mary" redo. It is so beautiful and fresh looking with the blue color and all the lush of your plants. I simply love the water feature and creativity of using found items. The bicycle is the perfect finishing touch. I would not be able to get anything done with all of you and John's outdoor spaces to linger on and refresh......outstanding!! Look foward to each video.

You have made your place such a beautiful place inside and out. Never feel like the things you do are old fashioned, out of date or whatever the case may be. These are the things that bring joy and happiness no matter the style. What we love is what we should do. I love bycicles used as decor. You have brillant ideas that turn into beautiful things. Be secure in knowing that you are an amazing creator/decorator! Your husband is a great asset to you too.

Good evening Mary! Love blue with green…just as in blue skies and green grass! While your birds were singing in the background so are my birds singing in my yard! Isn’t it ever so peaceful to hear them singing?! 💕

John pressure washing in sturdy boots. Mary, carrying porch railings and heavy sinks...flip-flops.

I love the bicycle! That is one of those pieces that never seems to go out of style!

You haven’t create a place of peace and beauty. I love the sound of your fountain and the birdsong. Please show us your honeysuckle when it blooms.

Mary, your home and porches and gardens are just so wonderful! I could just sit on your front porch with a good book and spend the day. And not get one thing done. Except I would probably fall asleep. The birds provide the sweetest concert.

Mary, I love it all! The hints of blue with the green and white is very summery. I LOVE OLD BIKES AS DECOR OUTSIDE. I don’t think they will ever go out of fashion and so what if it does! LOL!!! We love what we love period. Always enjoy your outdoor videos and all the song birds …… just what a soul needs…. Serenity !

I really like to watch that pressure washers magic on that floor!

I love your front porch decorating every Spring!🪴My mom had a bicycle just like yours, painted white with a flower basket, she would set in front of her front porch. A water lily would be perfect in your sink! God bless!

The bike might be my favorite addition to your porch! I LOVE the French Country vibe it brings. I never get tired of watching you work.

Thank you Mary and John for another beautiful porch make over! Always relaxing and inspiring ❣️

Sweet Mary, you always amaze me with your abundant energy. I to have lots of energy but A 77 I take it slower but still go at it with excitement of what I can get accomplished . I love watching you every week. You inspire me be more creative.

Love that natural wood on the deck. We bought a home it has a large painted deck. I hope to get it back to natural wood next year. Simply beautiful.

I'm SO happy you kept the water feature! I think of it so often and how peaceful it sounds.

I have always loved your water feature and every detail you put into making your spaces so welcoming. I can imagine how enjoyable it would be to sit on that lovely and serene deck.

As usual mary you've created a haven wr all want to visit and there isnt anything wrong with old fashioned or your bike It is all a part of the serenity you've created

I love all the improvements you did to the porch! The deck natural color is a huge improvement. The fresh paint always makes things look fresh and new. The movement of the water fountain was great as well. Mary every thing looks amazing! You have such a great eye for decorating and designing ❤ I look forward to your videos ❤❤

Everyone needs a place to go where they can find some peace and tranquility! This is the perfect spot! Thank you for taking us on your journey and giving us inspiration to create our own calming space❤❤❤

Oh how I would love to have an outdoor space like that 😍 Beautiful as always, Mary. Your family is blessed to have you as the woman of the house.

Country comfort…such a sense of peace amongst God’s beauty ❤

I put an old bike on my parents’ yard and put cascading flowers in front basket, as well as back baskets. So beautiful. People who drive by love it. Love ur bike n porch.

The cats wandering thru the beautiful deck are the purrfect accompaniment to the music of the water feature!,

Fill the sink with smooth rocks. So pretty and will sound like the real deal.

Mary, I love your front deck the best! Its so charming. My favorite videos are watching you revamp that space and listening to your thought process and decor ideas. I can almost smell the air and fresh plants and feel the breeze while rocking on the porch swing. Its genuinely peaceful. ❤

Thank you, Mary! Another great video❤

I absolutely love the bicycle. I think if brings flair of days gone bye. And keep a journal of ideas that i get each time. I am a country girl heart and soul. I enjoy bring outside was much was i can too. So i truly understand. Thank you for the videos.

So peaceful! Would be such a nice place to read a book and have a cup of tea.

I love the sink fountain, the bicycle, and the swing and all the plants!!!

Mary, really it’s not easy to find the words to describe the porch and surroundings. So peaceful and calming!❤

So far. I love your porch.. stripping the old finish, the small table and two chairs, the bicycle. I am amazed by the water fountain.

I could listen to that sound all day. Everything is just perfect.

I love how you have been switching it up to some blue this year. It really refreshes everything. The he bicycle is definitely not too old fashioned. It looks perfect!❤️

I would love to sit on your porch, it must be so relaxing hearing the water trickling and the birds singing❤

Your front porch looks so cozy and welcoming, you and your husband work really hard to make your house a beautiful home. So glad I stumbled onto your channel, I’m now binge watching older episodes, love everything you do.

The blue accents look beautiful Mary! Your family must love spending time out there on such a cozy porch! Ur cat has so much personality 😅 He's adorable! I love his cameos!

Peaceful and I long for a place like this. If not here on earth, on the other side, in heaven

This year I am going to make a water feature for our back patio - I have the door already! Thanks for the inspiration Mary!

Love your water feature sink and your little white bicycle! Simply lovely and oh so peaceful!

So charming! 😊 I want to sit on the porch with a lemonade. You and your husband are so creative. When can you come over and work your magic on my yard!❤ just lovely

Gorgeous result. The white, black and greenery with just the touch of blue is perfect.

Some pretty fairy lights on the arbor thingy would be perfect. I love this!

Its funny because I also just painted a small bike white that I got from a neighbours grandchild to take up to my cottage with flowers in the front basket.🇨🇦

Mary you always downplay your decor and you really should be so proud of everything you put together. It’s always so beautiful like the structure and the bike. I love the blue with the black! Perfection!

I have a honeysuckle on the side of my front porch railing. Couldn’t think of a way to get it to grow up right. Mary you are a genius!

I’m so glad you kept the water feature, I’ve always loved it and the sound it makes.

Mary, your porch is so welcoming with the plants and the water sound. Just beautiful!!!

Watching you guys is so refreshing and wholesome ! ThankYou 🌻 From Texas 🇨🇱

It looks so serene. I could sit all day at your porch, listening to the water trickling n bird’s singing to their heart’s content. It’s more cottage like with that sweet bicycle at the entrance. It feels so good to have fresh paint. It’s like a brand new space. I like the natural wood on the deck. Mary, it’s just beautiful n I love it. ♥️😊👍👍🌟🌟🌟

Such a great refresh! You and John made the railing/floors look new! ❤

Your porch is so beautiful! I love the water feature and bicycle...how charming! Thank you for bringing a little joy into my afternoon ❤❤❤

I "need" A water feature and a bicycle! 😃. 🌺🌺🌺

A beautiful refresh for your front and back decks Ms Mary and Mr. John. I pray that you, your family and friends get much use of it this summer and fall. God bless you all.

So beautiful Mary! Love your style! The bicycle adds so much whimsy & fun. Wish I still had my old blue bicycle that was a hand me down. My dad put a banana seat & a short sissy bar on it for me with tassels on the handles. I've thought fondly of it over the years. I spent many hours riding it. Thanks for bringing back a cherished memory.

I could sit on your porch all day. So tranquil and pretty. I love the bike. I have two old bikes, one a big one another a tricycle, both antiques.

I absolutely love all of your videosand all of your plants.I watch you just tread through all of your greenery not thinking what might be in them. I'm so afraid of snakes that it keeps me from doing things in my yard. I really admire you. May GOD bless you and keep you makeing these video and makeing so many things so beautiful especially for the ones who want to do some of the things we see you do.

Loved hearing the sounds of the water and the birds! Beautiful deck and I love the blues that you've added in! Thanks Mary!

Your home, porches and gardens are beautiful!

Thank you for another beautiful video Mary. Blessings on you.

Now I feel like I need some kind of water feature for my patio. Thanks for all the inspiration.

Hi Mary 👋, everything looks so BEAUTIFUL. You have such a beautiful gift you can take one garage and turn it into a treasure. See you next week.

Mary, I LOVE your porch over & over again. Beautiful, clean & fresh.

Lovely, Mary. The bike is not old fashioned, it's charming.

Great video, Mary. I have two bikes that are just sitting in the garage that I am going to re-purpose, put flowers in their baskets, display one in my front yard, and the other one in my backyard. Thank you so much for the inspiration you provide in your videos. You have a very beautiful property!

I am so relaxed now after watching your video. I wish I was a cat living on that porch. It is beautiful!! I just love to watch your creativity. You are so amazing. Thank you for sharing!!

Oh Mary, you are so talented, I love everything you do. Wish I had that touch. I absolutely love your bike on the front porch. It looks so cute. The porch looks to inviting. I just want to sit there with a glass of cold ice tea, listen to the water sound, and the beautiful birds singing their little hearts out. Absolutely gorgeous 😍 ❤️ thank you for sharing. Love it all 😊

My bff and I watched this episode while sitting in the Apple Blossom Cottage! So fun!

Beautiful Mary! Pressure washing old paint or dirt off wood is soooo satisfying, isn't it? You and John have done a wonderful job and I'm sure you'll enjoy many peaceful hours out there this season. Enjoy!

What a beautiful and peaceful spot to just sit and ponder things. Thanks for sharing Mary. You are so very special.

Can you imagine how much change a little paint, nice decor and plants can do.

Isn’t it amazing how the porch looks after pressure washing! Beautiful! I love how the table and chairs look, stunning! The bicycle looks wonderful, I love it! So stinkin cute! You never cease to amaze me! You are so amazing, in the way you make things so easy and beautiful! Love, love the water fountain! Your porch is always so gorgeous, so inviting! You just want to sit and visit! Love, love the outcome! Mary, I honestly believe you can do anything! It is co very comfortable and peaceful!💚💛💙☺️🎍🌳

As HGTV continues to become more unwatchable, I'm so happy to have found this excellent content online! This is a beautiful space presented in a beautiful video by a beautiful lady. Thank you for not including jiggling and swooping camera tricks, split-second views (short attention span, anyone?), and irksome music competing with your voice over. I was relaxed as I viewed this freshening up of your front porch, and my eyes didn't feel tired and stressed at the end. I'm so thankful for your straightforward, calm and informative manner of presenting your projects. And at the end, I was treated to views of the finished product that were lengthy enough to allow me to take it all in. Such enjoyment! And since my eyes still feel fresh, I'm going to watch more!

All the things you say....may be old fashioned.....I love them! I'm the same way, in I add old with new!!! Love, your style. Every video you inspire creativity to go tackle a project on my list!!!! Thank you.❤

I'm so glad you got to paint your porch rails this year I bet you that makes you just so happy

As always Mary ,you have transformed your space to a lovely relaxing retreat. Love your style and how your use of nature and natural materials always enhances and elevates your space. Great job….❤

You are so sweet. Stopping to give your cat a loving scratch, so sweet!❤

Beautiful! I have the same little white table and chairs. I've had them for years, they were my mother's. Spray them every spring.

I’m so glad Mary you are enjoying my gift! Thank you for mentioning me! I am one of your biggest fans! Your porch looks beautiful!
