Welcome to the Group Chat!
Come along for a full day in the life! We’re testing paint colors for the game room (Blackberry vs. Mature Grape by Sherwin-Williams), doing a backyard garden update, and I’m finally revealing the china set I’ve been hiding for three weeks. Plus a huge unboxing haul including Minnetonka moccasins, a KitchenAid ice cream attachment, nail supplies, and more. I also share our natural pool plans and the full outdoor living vision we are working toward.

Thanku luv for the vitamin D advice!!!
Oh! And that NATURAL POOL sounds AMAZING!!! Can't wait to see!
BlackBerry looks close to your inspo. The gameroom is going to look awesome!🤏🏾
❤❤❤
Don't be afraid of bumbles. Ive gardened around them for 20+ years, and have never been zapped by one. Now, be afraid of wasps and yellow jackets.
Thanks for sharing ❤
Hi Jillian, blackberry
HAPPY Saturday in Spring Jillian, family, and fur baby Love Sweethearts. LOVE the Patio and the vision of the Natural Pool. We have the same Patio Set, one on the back deck and one on the front deck. I have a lot of China sets too. Can't wait to see the vision for the home inside. Sorry your dishes broke, they could have least gave you a BOX, I am sure they had some in the back. I know Patience is KEY. STTB; HYPED THE VIDEO🍓🍓🍓
That’s the color I chose too, really nice
Oh my❣️your content is like a mind cleanser from all of the crazy in this world❤putting the little plant in the metal flower thingy,I love that idea.The jewelry finds and navy pants,I think I'm a bit jealous 🤭
I take same vitamins I love them I also swear by them
Handle the dishes with ease. But gentle❤
Blackberry
Blackberry for sure ❤❤
I love your videos. Nothing holds you back.
I'm so excited for your home decor and your garden and especially your natural pool oh my gosh…. By the way Blackberry is the color for me 😊
Lol, mine is glasses. I can't go out from a shrift shop without coming out with antic etched glass..I love them and the more and different, the better😅. To my defence though, I'm clumpsy and break some now and then. Absolutly the "Blackberry" color on walls, the other one looked a bit too pink on screen at least. Thank you for such a energetic upbeat vlog! Oh, and those thrifted blue balloon pants looks👌🌸
Your design looks great. I would just say to power wash the concrete to make it look newer with the great decor you added. You can rent one from Home Depot or stores like that.
Hi Jillian, I really the patio, it looks really nice, but why didn’t you move everything on the patio and sweep all those leaves off before you put the lovely rug down?
You need the bottom pert of that umbrella {the base} to keep it steady when you are letting it up and down, and especially when the wind is blowing, to keep it from being damaged and torn up.
Blessings always to you and your family, excited to see the house transformation, over the coming months.
Hey, before y'all actually start painting, Imma make a last ditch suggestion. I absolutely LOVE that purple y'all have chosen for the game room. That is gonna be EPIC!
Yet for your gorgeous living room below, I can't help but admire that gorgeous large painting behind you, way in the back. Those beautiful dusky colors in there, REALLY draw me in. Ever thought about picking up 1 of the colors in that. Like 1 of those greenish or antique turquoises? That painting All the way to the right, just outside of the room has that beautiful light green on the subject's dress. Idk… I just think it would really bring out that wood in the paneling. Is it too much? Idk…what do you think? There's something in me that always wants to contrast.
Blackberry
Had to stop the video after the natural pool announcement,it’s giving “we got vacation at home” lol ok back to video
Your china dishes beautiful and backyard also ❤
Love the natural pool .I never heard of it till now. I think blackberry goes with the vibes. Can't wait to see both projects complete
The Blackberry color, love the idea of the natural pool. We want a pool, never thought about a natural one, now I have to see about it if we ever decide to go for getting a pool. Love what you did to your patio , it’s definitely nice to be able to go out back in the evenings and mornings and enjoy God’s creation. I’m loving the china, girl you are speaking my language. I am collecting china too and looking for an antique china cabinet
Love the blackberry color for sure. Your garden is fire. Can’t wait to see your natural pool ❤
11:43 – Girlllll!!! I haven’t laughed this hard in a while!!!!
The sets of china you bought are so pretty! The small dish with 2 handles and a lid is the sugar bowl that goes with the creamer cup for your tea/coffee serving!
Super cute pots!
Im excited for your yard.
Love the China set…especially the saucers with the setting for cups…YES😊
Jillian I really love that you are so talented and honestly either one of those colors will work in that space it comes down to what pops to add to the purpose of the room
Jillian stop hiding stuff from us😂😂❤
I love your repurposed planter
I have not started with getting patio ready for the warmer weather because we been getting some severe weather and we drop back down to the 40s and I am not too happy with that temps have dropped because I put my plants out and they are heavy and I am not bring them back in. So hope they survive and flourish over the summer.
I really like the old vintage dinner setting that I saw pulled out on Sundays growing up in GA in 60s and 70s. They did not collect but cherished the items they had for years and years and also added on because you used to be able to replace broken pieces in a set and also a lot of couples were gifted back then with China and silver because home entertaining was expected to be impressed. I bought a China set while with my mom at an estate sell, it had magnolias so beautiful but I have never used them and it a shame it been before her major stroke in 2007.
I hate how thrift stores price by breaking up the sets, they were donated as a set so keep them together like they were donated because like you said when you add up buying individually, it higher than some items original prices.
They are even doing it to outfits now. Our Goodwill has been taken over by another franchise and no longer offer 50% off color of the week and stopped $1 Fridays.
Love the dishes (I thought you told us about purchase because I knew you had) and the jewelry you got a good statement neckwear collection going on.
Where lnk for lamp kit I loved the jewelry dishes beautiful the patio very cozy tranquil. The water thing should be awesome❤❤❤❤ Oh and link to detect lead in silver thank u😅
The game with the little pebbles is called “GO” , it’s a Japanese game. The object is to take turns placing a pebble on your turn while trying to get 5 pebbles in a row in any direction. FYI, “GO” is the word for the number 5. Lots of fun! I really enjoy your videos, you are my Influencer, LOL. ❤❤Judy❤❤
