I found you through Garden Answer when Laura did some videos that included segments with you in them. I love everything about your gardening lifestyle videos. I am in your age bracket and I am looking to find ways to have an attractive garden while paring down the workload. I think I am learning the value of flowering shrubs and green shrubs to anchor my space. I am still working on finding perennials and annuals to fill in the blanks. I need to learn restraint and plant what likes to grow in my soil and limit myself to a few types of plants in a cohesive color scheme. A work in progress, for sure. Thank you for your guidance.

I found you because KZread obviously thinks we got something in common..... I stayed because something about you is just captivating, it's your use of words your descriptions of things. Your romancing of the ordinary is something special ✊🏿 I have come to realize in life that we have more in common than things we don't. I may not have nandina and a potager off the kitchen lol.... But I take pride in my space just like you do, and I'm a sucker for a bag of pea gravel from Lowe's 💯

I totally agree! And I like that you “love what you love” and keep it! Individuals that are constantly changing their home decor based on the “trend” of the moment do not inspire me. This home is lived in and enjoyed each day and it clearly shows- as you guide us along. Thank you!

Thank you for the tour and we do not mind if something is repeated. I learn more the second time around. And, I love your house. Such light and warmth.

We love your home tours! It’s difficult to find KZreadrs who still do classic traditional decorating. Your modern touches are inspiring! Thank you!

yes, classic traditional. Love it. Feels like Home to me. Along with her over 120,000 subscribers.

I am not a gardener by any means and my mother always told me, "I hope your better with patients than plants". I retired 2 years ago after 44 years as an ICU nurse. I have a black thumb. I came across your channel rather randomly and your voice, presentation, and obvious love of gardening plus your personal style keeps me coming back. Your home is just so warm, inviting and not overly styled or pretentious. I can see that it's well lived in and your not particularly precious with the contents of your home. Also, you love jewelry as much as I do. Your partner in crime, aka Stuart is wonderful too!

Hi Linda, I would like to see you interview Stewart since we don’t get to see him. I love your garden tours and I have learned a lot from you! Your home is beautiful!💕👍

I think I found you through Garden Answers YT channel. The home tour was enjoyable, not only because it is fun to see how other gardeners bring garden elements into their homes, but also because I am an interior designer and can’t help myself-always putting the puzzle pieces together to figure out how a home is laid out. All the modifications you have made are so beautifully and sympathetically done with the homes’ architecture in mind, while still making the home work for you. We’ll done! As far as future content recommendations, I would eagerly listen to you read your grocery shopping list-every video has inspiring nuggets.😄

I was drawn to your KZread by watching the Christmas kitchen tour. I love the fact that your home is old and colorful!! I get so tired of seeing homes that are all white, gray, and black...so cold!! Recently my favorite videos you did were the mood boosters and the products you recommended!! Keep up the good job

So much of what passes for interior design today is derivative. People think they are so clever to use the same white subway tile as everyone else. And everyone's "style" has to have "farmhouse" somewhere in the word salad. People say they love Craftsman style or Mid-Century Modern, and have no clue what those styles even are! What I love about Linda's home is that it's infused with personality and charm, all while respecting the historic nature of the Tudor architecture! Isn't it interesting how there are people who jumped on the "open concept" bandwagon who now wish they had some private areas in the home that can be closed off with doors, for working or schooling at home?

Thank you Linda for sharing your home with us. I’m a long time subscriber but I enjoyed seeing your home again. I love the fact that you have not painted your woodwork and I love that warm Ralph Lauren look also. What I liked most was the story of the artwork above fireplace. That was so special yet difficult for you to share. Life is hard, but so good and we are all so blessed. I love how you find the good even in tragedy. No matter if it is a fire or an ice storm, thank you for sharing life with us. Just like the Lord, He brings Beauty from ashes, purifies after storms and turns graves into Gardens. You are loved by God and by your KZread family.

Motivation is looking at pretty things, gardening knowledge, decorating ideas.

Fairly new subscriber here, I found your work via Southern Living. Your warmth, grace and style resonates with me and I just felt like I had to know more. You (and of course, Stewart!) have a gift for making us feel right at home like we're visiting neighbors. I'm in my 20s, first time homeowner and I'm only now beginning my gardening journey. I was limited with what I could do while renting. It's a way to keep my late grandmother close who was an avid gardener and developed Alzheimer's before she could teach me what she knew. I have fond memories of "helping" her that I hope to pass onto my young son. Thank you for making these videos!

Hi Linda! No need to apologize for having a beautiful older home!!! I love, love, love older homes and also decorate my home in a very traditional style. welcoming

I'm new...I'm 50 and I dont have much of a green thumb. I love your "other" content. I just think your very classy and wise. Enjoying your videos about real life. Refreshing that your not over the top and are so relatable.

I am one month new to your channel. Hello from Southern California. I discovered your channel by a miracle. I am glad and loving it. Starting over again gardening. I gave up about 7 years ago. When I found your channel I got INSPIRED and I am feeling POSITIVE 😀

Hello Basiclivinggirl where are you in CA I live in Norwalk I have been following Linda for a couple years now she is an inspiration.

I love your house Linda! It is a house that has a beating heart!! The memories, family pieces, meaningful artwork and furniture, your beautiful upgrades that work for you and still speak to the tradition of the house…. Your plants, arrangements and books, where do I stop, just gorgeous!! 💕💕 Thank you for sharing!

Hearing about your husband's and your history together is heartwarming. Thank you for sharing.

Congrats on the new subscribers. I’m here because I appreciate the fact that we are close in age. You have more to offer than simply reeling off the latest trends. Your tips make a lot of sense, and there are many experiences to back them up. You put effort into this channel, and it shows.

I like the fact that this interior is exactly what I would expect to see when looking at the exterior. It's so homey and cozy and no detail spared. Excellent!

I love your home! Every nook and cranny tells a wonderful story. It's so cozy, and charming.

You Tube "recommended" your channel to me last year while I was watching Garden Answer. I clicked on the channel and was immediately enchanted by you, your garden and home. I concur with your followers in that I do not tire of any of your home or garden tours. Your home and gardens are so inviting and I think anyone visiting would immediately feel comfortable and welcome. Thank you and Stewart so much for sharing your Garden Inspired Life. 😊

old time faithful subscriber here. I could walk through your home any day.. any season , and I feel so connected to you. I love everything about your style and aesthetic. It has that curated over a lifetime feel , which to me means home. I would walk through your home in my mind .... the only thing I didn't picture was that little guest bath. Now , we need the upstairs tour. Please, please ,please. I have only been in your library bedroom and office area . Would love to see the layout and style of the rest.

All righty then!

I live in an apartment and have a balcony “garden” of potted plants. KZread suggested your channel once, and I loved your garden and what I saw. And even though I don’t have the space to be a proper gardener, your garden is what I would love to have if I had a house with land all around it! Love you, your personality, your style, how you decorate your home, Stuart, and just how inspiring your channel is!

I love your home!!! Not old fashion at all!!! Very classy and cozy! Beautiful Linda!! Just a beautiful job decorating your lovely home!! I love the older homes they have such much character. Take care, 🌸🌷🌻🌼💝🙏

Thank you for sharing the touching story about the fire that brought you and now-"hubs" closer together. Those defining moments in life are almost beyond understanding, but don't we know "what others intend for evil, God turned into something beautiful." Love your channel since joining it two years ago. I am a gardener in north Iowa. 😊

I love your videos. Quite a while ago I was watching Garden Answers and your videos popped up at the side. I am 63 and live in the UK, In the nice weather I do as much as I can in my garden, I have a bad back and a hernia which stops me being in the cold weather. Its just knowing when to do what in the garden, I am a single Mum, I do have a gardener who deals with my front and side lawns but thats all. I love your home thankyou for the tour xx

I am not a new subscriber. Been with you for awhile. But I have to say Linda I’m absolutely loving the content of decor and wellbeing vlogs. Your chanel has exactly what I’m looking for. So grateful you make 4 vlogs a week. Honestly I don’t know how you do that but thank you and to Stewart too. Just loving the content.

Wow what a difference a year makes…..on to a new horizon now. New home & gardens for 2023!

I can’t remember how I found you but I stayed for your personality. Been watching a long time. Always calms me down when I am feeling a little anxious.

I truly love all of your content. Please let John know that I was so inspired by his home tour that I have started my own collection of vintage beaded ornaments that I will display in a glass bowl next Christmas. ❤️

I love your style. Thanks for showing us a glimpse of your home.

Your home tours are fun and full of so many wonderful ideas! I found you while watching Laura at Garden Answers and she recommended you! Your style of gardening is perfect to me and I love the tips too! Thank you Linda and Stewart!

I’ve been watching since spring 2020 and look forward to each and every one of your videos. I believe I found your channel through Laura from GA. I recall her mentioning that you were one of her favourite gardeners. I’m most interested in all things gardening, home decor, antique/vintage/thrifted items and well-being. Your home is beautiful. It has a warm and inviting feeling. I love that you fill your home with items that are collected over time, that tell a story about the things you love and your family. Thank you for sharing your home and stories with us! 💚🙏

I love your home tours!! I love when people enjoy all of their possessions be it new, old, family items and thrifted items. It makes for such a meaningfull, beautiful home. This is what I love about my home also!! I love the mix of it all!! I love all of your variety videos on so many subjects and, of course, all of your tips.

Hi Linda, I am a new gardener. We built our home and moved in fall last year. We have nothing in our garden other than turf ☺️ so your videos have been so helpful. I am a little bird on your shoulder soaking up everything so thank you.

I loved your statement “I’ll take clean windows & a load of manure any day over furs & diamonds.” I’ve been a viewer for several years & this is the first I’ve seen this type of tour. How you told the story of the painting over the mantle without tearing up or crying, I’ll never know. I love the cross stitch by your sister. It’s 54 degrees & sunshine here in zone 9b (near New Orleans) & I can’t wait to get my 1st load of compost & mulch. Should start warming up in a few weeks. Hugs & prayers to you & those close to you.

Don't apologize for the redundancy of your home tour. I never tire of seeing your home. There could be something I missed or enjoy seeing over and over. I never tire.

Stunning house. Real character. I’ll be moving to a 1910 house later this year so found your tour inspiring.

Man I just love and adore you because someone else used items is another person new find, continue being classy lady 👏

Enjoyed this video very much. It was nice to see how the rooms are oriented with each other. I love how your home is real! It is very cozy and looks lived in! Most homes you see are so very staged looking and colorless. I do love neutrals, but am leaning more towards putting color back in my decor . As a gardener, how can we not love color ? Have enjoyed these inside videos very much. I think I subscribed to your channel about a year ago. You have inspired me in so many ways. Just very recently, I experienced a disaster in my brand new greenhouse. With that cold snap over much of the country last week, my area of Texas got down to zero and probably even in the negatives with the wind chill. My heating unit malfunctioned and I walked in to see my once beautifully potted plants, frozen. After the tears, I remembered how graciously you accepted the ice storm you experienced. I spent all day yesterday in my greenhouse trimming back the frozen foliage, watering my pots and praying they will recover. We figured out what happened to our heater and I ordered a portable greenhouse heater to use in conjunction with our already existing heater during extreme winter weather . Gardening is challenging but I’m thankful to have people like you that inspire and encourage when things go wrong .

I finally got to sit down & watch this video. Let me say first Linda that your home is beautiful, so warm & cozy. I love, love all your built-ins! I'd also like to say how terribly sorry I am about the loss of your brother. I too lost a brother but at a very young age due to an accident where he drowned. It was 4 years after I lost my mother...difficult times but I sense you have been through some yourself. Again, your home is beautiful...thank you for sharing it with us. ❤

That was a pleasure touring you home and hearing your history. Please tour upstairs next. Your always a joy to watch. Love your vocabulary. You may need to give us a lesson in what some of your words mean. Love to you and Stewart.

My husbands relatives are from Edmond and I saw you on local Television and have been following you for years. Your home is what I call livable elegance. Emotional story of your future husbands home fire and tragic death of your brother. So very sorry for your loss. I know it never goes away. As always enjoyed the home tour. Thank you.

Hi Linda! Thanks for the tour of your lovely home. I’m a 63 year old Veterinary Assistant who loves gardening, thrifting and home tours. I get inspiration from KZread videos for house and garden decor and for the succulent planters that I gift and sell. 🥰

Beautiful home Linda, love the way you decorate...cozy and warm!

Your home is beautiful Linda, looks so warm and loved.

I found you when I hurt my leg and wasn’t able to work in my garden. The only thing I could think of to keep me still was to look for garden tours. I was amazed and thrill at how many there is. So grateful! Ran across you and I’m hooked. Even though I don’t live in your zone. I love how real you are 😊 you’re in your sock feet🥂you bring me joy and education .

I love watching you Linda and have been watching you for awhile!

I I love your home. The decor is so much like mine. I enjoy your videos and all of your helpful hints. Iooking forward to spring.

Your husband had good taste in furnishings as a bachelor. Can't say the same for mine those 34 years ago. :) Thanks for the tour. Your home has such character and is beautiful

I truly appreciate your tours because I myself own a bungalow home and your ideas along with your neighbors ideas are very helpful,love love love it.❤️

You are so blessed with such a beautiful home. Thank-you for allowing your viewers to tour through it and enjoy your treasured memories.

I found your channel about 3 years ago after it was recommended by Garden Answer. I’m not young but I’m just starting out with gardening. I’m a bit of a crazy plant lady who does ultrasound as a career. And I love traveling around with my amazing dog Peaches. And I love getting to know people on KZread from all around the world. It absolutely fascinates me.

Lovely home that looks comfortable & lived in. I love older houses.

Love your artwork, thank you for sharing the history of the art that was restored. I loved the present of having your windows cleaned too.

Love your home. It seems so warm and cozy.

I always enjoy your house tours. One of my favorite things to see is the view of the super unique mantle, bull artwork, and wall plates when you're standing in the kitchen. It feels very cozy!

Always enjoy your home tour, so beautiful & classic. Great addition to add that rounded window above kitchen sink & the breakfast room fireplace & French doors. That is such a cozy room🤎

A tour of your home with beautiful accessories and inspiration never gets old.... I just sat back and took 5 sips in 1 (water) - that tip has really resonated with me. Thank you both, Linda and Stewart.

That view of your living room at five minutes is just gorgeous. The way that the light is shining in through the window is lovely. And I Love the soft color palette you have going on.
