Your sons look alike! Are they twins? Beautiful family.

Husband said never go to sleep when Beverly was in a moving mood. You will never wake up where you went to sleep.

Incredibly short especially when she sat down. Too much.

Beautiful. I'm thrilled to hear someone else say they don't want a TV in their living room. So many of my friends and family can't understand why I don't want a gigantic TV on the wall. Nope, I want cozy and quiet.

My favorite is the table behind the couch. I agree with the black lampshade that they stay..

I just viewed your last year living room tour. I love the sofa and love seat across from each other. The area with your round table was perfect. I agree with you I don’t like sofas against the wall and window.

I agree, I liked the before arrangement, but a change is always fun!

The two small brass tables that replaced the old, larger wood coffee table really opened up and brightened the area. Looks great!

I was eyeing those tables too. I like the mix of old and new.

I love redecorating with what I have! Cream lamp shades may not only add more light to your already beautiful room but I think the contrast against your shutters and the color tie in with your sofas would be a stunner! 👍

Love the new layout of your living room, very clever ! I would keep the black lampshades, they are a beautiful contrast, especially if you get the brass lamps. I do enjoy changing rooms around, it’s the best way to get a different look and feel without spending money. My husband calls me the cushion queen 😂 I have quite a collection and love changing them over with the different seasons. I also loved giving some to my daughter when she moved into her first house, and I can enjoy them at her place now 🥰

I loved the room both ways. You knew exactly how to create the curated look as opposed to a decorated look. I don’t know how you will be able to leave this house, but life goes on and we adapt 🥰

I really like this arrangement of the living room. I like the way you used most of what you already have. The room looks more spacious yet still very cozy. I'm always rearranging and moving things around.

Great re-design and repurposing. Mixing the white slipcovers with the green wicker gives this home a cozy, lived-in, vintage feel. Love the new rug. I love black shades, too, but switch some of them out for linen cream for spring/summer.

Oh, LInda, I enjoyed the tour of your living room. You asked if we like moving furniture around. Well, I love changing things up. It's exciting to me. I moved to this home in April of this year, so I'm still adjusting the placement of my furniture. In fact, I switched my living room and my dining room last week. I added a round table to my living room so it became a breakfast room and is between the dining room and the kitchen. The couch is like a banquette. With a living room, den, and sun room in this home, I found that I didn't make use of the living room at all. Now, I can eat breakfast there, play card games with family, and make crafts at the round table in the breakfast room. Thank you for all your videos. I've been a viewer for years.

I vote for black shades on the lamp - more dramatic at night. Thank you for the tour 😊

Using old things in a new way is something I really enjoy. My Hubbs has a problem too. I am on my third set of white sofas, chairs for my living room in 40 years.

Yes! It is looking at old things and using them differently. Huge surprises when you see it differently.

Cream lamp shades would be beautiful, but I absolutely love the black. To me, hits of black, especially in a traditional space really helps to ground a room. You’re home is so stunning.

I agree🙂

The new living room arrangement is gorgeous. The room really does appear to twice the size and yet there are so many places to sit and enjoy the space. It's so nice that you continue to enjoy your autumn decor. Makes sense to have some appreciation time and rest time following this holiday. Happy Thanksgiving!

You & the room are so lovely. You are casually elegant. 🙏❤️🦋

Love it, Linda! Redecorating that way is like shopping in your closet. I agree that that leaf is truly spectacular. If you're doing anything holiday with a woodsy vibe, I might consider leaving it out during Christmas, it's just too gorgeous 🧡

Definitely like the black shades!! Keep them!❤️

I think you’d end up liking the change to lighter colored lampshades. It brightens an area without taking away the warmth of a room❤️ I LOVE the leaf!!

Ever so gorgeous red Hunter boots combined with a beautiful dress, you look amazing. Thank you Linda. First snow in Belgium, I'm glad a got my small garden ready for spring flowers.

Oh Linda...Everything looks Wonderful, Comfortable, and ever so Relaxing!! Enjoy!! 😍

Just perfect! I love that nothing matches, but goes perfectly. The black shades go great with your style. Love it!

Love what you did to the living space. I live in a 1930s house as well , such character and charm, i’am always rearranging and moving things around. My Hubs never does no what to expect when he comes home!

Love the changes and especially the green wicker

I like the black shades. Cream colored ones might look nice in the summer.

I think lighter shades with further brighten the space. We don't have a T.V. in our living room either. I love the new arrangement of furniture. I love moving things around the house.

Absolute joy in refreshing my space with things I own…especially the art❤️

I think the black shade is the perfect contrast to the alabaster lamp. I wouldn't change it. I believe every room should have something black in it. I love your videos sooooo much!

I like the new arrangement. Also like the black lampshade. Love having books and plants in my environment. The room looks very inviting and comfortable. It's interesting to me how other people can see things right in front of us that we can't see. How wonderful to have a friend who is an interior decorator. I also have a wicker chair in my living room I found in front of an antiques store. I painted it black. Stewart did an excellent job as always.

I like the black lampshades.

I am absolutely obsessed with this living room! I am using it for my total inspiration to redecorate my house! Love the warm colors!

I love those little gold tables. I just rearranged my seating area with lounge chairs rather than a sofa and I love it. So cozy ❤️

I just adore your channel and always look forward to viewing the inside of your home as well as your garden! I just finished watching your living room makeover and if you value an honest opinion, here's mine for what it is worth! I don't like it, it's too busy, looks like you are storing furniture for a future use, not cohesive at all. I loved your corner windows with the round table, really accented that area, where will you put your Christmas tree now? I would have prefered keeping the couch and love seat together, perhaps an "L" shape, don't like the love seat shoved up against the wall at all. Hope you take this in the spirit it is given, your home is way too beautiful and if you are like me you want to showcase to it's best advantage!

I know you get more light with the lighter shades but I like my 2 black and 1 taupe shade in my LR ! Stick to your fav!

First of all, you look beautiful :) I love your house, in fact, unpopular opinion, I prefer home videos than garden ones. I think I watched the kitchen episode like 10 times😂 and to answer your question :Yes, I Iike rearranging my home. Recently my father in law moved in with us due to his poor health and we gave him my office since it is downstairs and I had to move my office upstairs. And that created a lot of change around the house

I often rearrange my furniture and after living with it a few days I always move it back. It never feels right like the original position did. It seems your first instinct are always the best. Love the rug.

Very nice! Love your classic style💛

My father use to joke that it was a good thing the toilet was bolted down! My mother inspired all us girls that way!

Yes! I have hardly bought anything to my new house or new appartment. What I bought I bought vintage/old not new. I love all kind of design but most garden and interior design 🥰 New look is fab!! 😍

I love black lamp shades! I think they elevate a room and add an air of sophistication 😀

I love the wicker with all the other decorated furniture,I really love all the cozy stuff that never matches. I say that cuz it shows style and not matchy,matchy. Your walls are my favorite Are they faux painted? You are everyone’s favorite because one does not have to buy everything new. You are excellent in teaching us how to combine everything! Thank you Linda,can’t wait to see the holiday stuff.

Linda you always look so sweet in your outfits. I like your style. And I love your large leaf. I’ve looked around my neighborhood but, can’t find one that unique. I hope you put it in a box to save for next year.

Room looking good. I was told every room needs a piece of black no matter what size to ground it. I love the black lampshades, I have something similar. I think they should stay even if you only keep one!

You asked if we move things around in our homes: for me, I keep everything in its original location. I never have to look around for things, because I know exactly where everything is. This helps with my memory, as I get older. I use to decorate for every holiday, and loved doing so, but now I keep things in their place.

Use what you love!!! Is my Theory!! I really like the black shades...cream color shades can be boring.. new look however is spectacular!!!

Cream shades will make the room brighter and more airy. Love the changes!

I like the black shades. They give elegance to any room.

Keep your black shade. The contrast with the light lamp works best.

love that family photo ! we can put faces with her stories now, how nice. And spray enamel on a leaf ? how ingenius, and I am going to do this with my granddaughter, she picks out the most lovely and colorful leaves and just enjoys doing that. Great idea for a project to do together, thanks Linda for once again inspiring me !

Love a black lamp shade.

Your room looks so inviting! Love the changes. Thank you for letting us know that slip covers aren’t as easy to care for. I always wondered about that!

This was so fun to watch. I love how welcoming and warm your room is. I wanted to run to your upstairs and see what changes you have made there. I have rearranged furniture since I was a young girl. I remember moving furniture and decor around in my bedroom after my parents went to bed. It truly transforms a space. 😊

I absolutely do enjoy moving around and changeing accessories from one room to another,gives me the change that I need and want without spending money

I love what you've done. I, too, love my autumnal decor...I always mix my lighter/whiter pumpkins in with my Christmas decorations. I just can't seem to part with them unless forced to do so. I keep my orange pumpkins around until after the holidays, outside in and around the garden...some remain indoors. I just love mixing and matching autumn and Christmas. Your leaf sculpture is divine. I would definitely keep that INSIDE the living room along with Christmas. Beautiful!

I love the way you use different pieces of furniture in your living room. I also like the way you incorporated dressers/chests in the living room. The colors in my home are chocolate, turquoise, and cream. I went with chocolate leather furniture and vibrant rugs. I just purchased a larger rug for the living room and now I'm looking for a cozy leather loveseat for my kitchen.

Love that TJ Max table

Everything looks beautiful Linda, love your outfit too! Your home looks very comfy and I absolutely love it.

Loved your living room before. Also that twisted root table was such a beautiful focal point from your kitchen. Obviously beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I liked the tables/chests on each side of the dining room archway. Ok, refreshing is good, and obviously we all do what gives us inspiration. Thought your library table with the fiddle-back chairs was such a wonderful touch. Well, I hope you are enjoying the newly configured space.

It looks fabulous!

Great new Christmas intro and absolutely love your dress! I can’t do much rearranging of furniture but do continually repurpose decor for each season. Thanks so much for the tour of your room, it looks wonderful!🇨🇦

Love the new look! I created a home office for my husband by 'shopping' from around the house. The only things I bought were curtains and an area rug.

Love, love,love the new layout! It is so interesting and versatile.

Love the redesigned living room! And that dress you have on looks fabulous on you!

I always move things around from one room to another.. it’s a great way for a makeover without buying anything

The room looks great and balanced. I just replaced one of my lamp shades with a printed pleated shade. Ballard or Bunny Williams Home carries these shades. Very English and adds color and print to the room. One of my favorite things to do is rearrange furniture. Love the large rug! Ann in Tennessee

Linda, I move things around in my house all the time! It just gives it a fresh look. And it makes me feel good! Love your new look.

Your living room looks great! Thank you for the tour.

Love rediscovering my fun and special things and moving them around. I, too, make vignettes. Also like to use objects in different , unexpected ways. So loved both parts of the home tour and will need to go back and watch the garden tour next. You are a wonderful tour guide.

My husband has had to get used to me rearranging the furniture usually once or twice a year. It gives me such a mental lift and makes it all look fresh.

Great re-do. The room is so classic, interesting and inviting.

this looks so nice but I am dying to see the kitchen fireplace without that gorgeous barley twist table between your mom and pop chairs... that was such a warm cozy look... also cant imagine the bedroom without your green wicker sofa table, chair and little side table. Please show us the other rooms now.... also I love black lamp shades.. they are sophisticated and anchor a room.

I love black lamp shades!

I did this before Thanksgiving. Love shopping in my house and rethinking rooms.

Stunning and I love the black lampshade, as well.

Well done on the redo! The flow around the furniture is wonderful. As much as I agree with your love of your dark lamp shades, I think some cream colored ones would help to open the space up. Since that was one of your objectives for the room, I agree with your designer friend on lightening them up.

I’m a mixture of both. I love rearranging which I am doing right now but once I get things the way I want I usually keep it in place sometimes for years

I love the new living room re design. Bigger rug really anchors the spac and it all looks very inviting. I like black shades too, but also a mix. Happy Holidays -Enjoy!!!!!

my goodness what an absolutely inviting room!!!

So beautiful Linda ....simply loved the new decor

I really love how you love books! Part of a lived-in home!

Black shades 😎.

Love your rug and rearranging. Can’t wait to see your Christmas decor. Cute outfit.

I love the new changes. Very cozy and inviting!

Linda you are blessed with a sophisticated taste in decoration, the new look for sitting area just appeared to be rich and cozy in terms of furniture and walls. The most interesting is that each peace tells a story about dear friend or family so its an open book about your life stations. Maybe I would suggest to give your library shelves a white bleached colour to enlighten more the room and a connection with your white creamy sofas. Now the best favourate part for me, was that framed picture with husband and those gorgeous looking sons. Have a great Thanksgiving time. ❤

Love the pair of tables you used for a coffee table. The room looks spacious and bright.

I just redid the primary bedroom- New bedding, drapery. Stole several pieces from other rooms & lamps too. Looks amazing!!! I am always re doing art work placement & accessories, lamps - But my furniture placement is spot on. No improving on perfection ! 😜

I love to rearrange things around the house. But Over the years i found out that, as i like to do this, i give it a lot of though and planing. So every time i change ,i find myself going back to the first decision. For me this new placing is better for bigger gatherings. However, i prefer the first one because it gives you individual spaces for you and your husband to enjoy. Oh and i love your red/orange and black lamps. But as i do you can always Change a outlet bit for fun and the switch things back😀

I love doing a deep clean moving everything out of my living room expect the large furniture and editing or adding from other rooms. I have several pillow covers that I change out too. I enjoyed your new arrangement and rug, very refreshing 😊

Kudos to Stewart for the new holiday video intro. 🎄 The LR refresh is very nice. The white sofas and wicker makes the room light and inviting. 💚 Oh, I ordered your book last week.

I prefer to place things and leave it alone; however I often an epiphany and realize a different way I'd like my space to look and have better flow and function. My husband Dave gets frustrated with me over it but he admits it looks better when I'm done. I love your new arrangement. More places to sit are always a good idea.

I love the new furniture arrangement in your living room. I love your black lamp shade, but I wonder if the lighter colored shade would look great for spring and summer and the black shade for fall and winter? Whatever you chose I’m sure it will look great. I really enjoy your videos and Stewart’s camera work😀. Happy day after Thanksgiving to you too🍁

Pretty redo! I'm with you on the black shades....keep.

Nice refresh! I cannot wait to see your Christmas decor. I wish that I could share a beautiful Linda Vater style leaf bouquet that I made with my big crimson king maple leaves. Gorgeous! I love to restyle my tiny interior space. My husband is a minimalist, so that is always a challenge. LOVE your wicker pieces.

I love the new living room arrangement. Looks very inviting and indeed, very cozy. Enjoy your "new" space!

Love how you've moved the furniture around and the new rug! I move things around too !! It is fun and motivating! Your home is so pretty! And I do like your black lamp shades with the alabaster base! Don't change them! A bit of black in a room is very designing!

Love the way it looks. Keep the black shades, every room needs a touch of black to ground it.

YES!!! I believe I read somewhere that one should change the room around every 5 years! I love putting some things up and getting other things out, change rooms even sometimes or the colors.
