I decorate with the lights off , i like multi colored lights and have collected years of shiny brite and polish painted ornaments so my tree looks like it's 1940 and i also do icicle tensel and do it one at a time. It takes me a couple of days but the end result is worth it ❤
Your lucky your husband is so talented when reminding my husband could do all that but his favorite was old cars. He built two rooms on our house he was an electrician by trade.
Your tree is beautiful. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your Christmas decor. I have a tip for you...if you are not going to use the kid's ornaments on your tree now that they have their own homes, pack them up and give them to the kids as one of their Christmas presents.😊 They will have the memories to keep and you will scale down your decor!!
For the breakable ornaments, use fine floral wire to hang. Cut about 8 inches and attach to the ornament. To hang, start toward the center and spiral around your branch working outward. You can't see the wire and it is secure. When it's time to remove, pull gently. It comes right off. I think Martha Stewart demonstrated this year's ago. You may be able to find her instructions. Your home and decor are beautiful.
Gorgeous tree! Even more gorgeous is your hair. I made a mental note to comment that you will forever and always win the “Coolest Hair” award and then….you piled it up on your head …..you are absolutely gorgeous!love ya🤶🏻❤️🤶🏻
Yes, you are so right about searching for, and finding what you have envisioned in your head. Major frustration!!! Which is why this year I am DIY'ing all my my decor, yep, all of it. I love the velvet ornaments but they're 'sold out' everywhere, so I have made my own, and to be honest, I like mine better. I'm sure once you are done decorating it will be beautiful, you always do an amazing job pulling everything together. And, I am excited to see Chris's bar area, I know it will be equally beautiful. XX
I am so happy for you having a new home is a decorating challenge. Your superpower is making thing’s beautiful. Tip. Put some ornaments hanging from the garland rod. I would use ribbon. You could make small hole with the drill, you can use a needle and thread to make the Santa heads hanging ornaments. You have very cute and whimsical ideas floating in your head. God bless. I enjoy your channels a lot.
The way the tree lit when you put the segments in place is awesome. My tree just has the lights that you have to find the cord end and plug each strand in...so pre-lit but low budget! LOL It looks lovely, Yvonne!
That beautiful collection of yours I couldn’t believe how large and beautiful it was all the beautiful horses along with the beautiful tree. You have done a wonderful job collecting so many beautiful collectible items. Can’t wait to see your home all decorated for the holidays.
I’m so sorry about the cold! That happens❤ Clutter happens too! 😊 Oh it looks so much better!🎉 So proud of you! Good job on the tree!❤ I love your jadeite ornaments! But those vertical rage Santa’s have my heart!❤ Your tree is beautiful!🎉
Beautiful tree!! Ohhh ,yes! It is sooo much fun! Thank you big for sharing how you hanf your pine garland on your window! Absolutely gorgeous! A sooooo much better using the fairy lights! You never fail to inspire me ,and teach me with every video! Can't wait to see youins home after you finish these projects.. as always ,thanks a heap,God Bless ❤❤
I hope you get well soon. Love your new tree and your vision for the bar area. Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to see your home when you are finished with Christmas decorations.
I leave the lights on. Try putting one of tree lights in the hole on the Santa heads and see how that looks 😊 Chris's grin coming back to the car carrying his wire was cute 😊 Great work as usual !!!
My oldest daughter has a 12 ft tree because it came with her house because of the very very high ceilings. Hope you are feeling better soon. I was kinda like “jadeite, black n red together” will as you say trust the process because it’s gorgeous. I can’t wait until you get everything done. Exciting times to see others decor and Christmas decorations. 😊❤
It looks wonderful ! Love the colors. Gosh we haven’t had a tree in 3-4 years. Lots of garlands, wreaths and pine boughs. I do put the tree up at our Church and I don’t use ornaments, but ribbons and glitter pine cones stems and glitter tree ( fake) stems. Kids would be playing with ornaments…LOL!!! This year because of all my eye surgeries, it was extremely difficult to decorate…the center of the tree I could not see. So I tried with lights on…then off… lights off in the Church, then lights off…I almost called another lady to come and do the decor on the tree. So I guess I’m thankful I only do the one at Church. Can’t wait to see the rest and the “new” Bar area! I can’t remember now what your old house looked like 🙁. How soon we forget when we don’t see it all the time! We never had a cat climb our trees and we have had cats for 47 years. They chewed a light bulb or two… they would bat an ornament , but mostly just lay under them 😻 ( thankfully …LOL! ) ❤️❤️🦌🌲🦌❤️❤️
I absolutely love your tree decor. At first when you showed what colors you were choosing to use, I couldn’t envision it. It’s gorgeous!, I think the warm lights add just the perfect amount of contrast, and somewhat of a nostalgic feeling as well. ❤👏🏼🌲👍
The tree is beautiful. And yes, those Jadeite bulbs really look good on the tree with the pop of red. I was amazed when you were taking the tree a part n the lights went off…. that was so cool. I wish they had these trees around years ago. Seeing it’s just me n the dog no reason to get a big tree. That’s okay I’ll just admire yours. Anxious to see Chris’s design on the bar. You mentioned a specific type of door you want to use. You’ll find it just like you found the mouse or should say all the mice you ended up with LOL. Thanks so much Yvonne for bringing us along as you decorate for Christmas. ♥️♥️😊👍👍🌟🎄
Yvonne- I tried your hot water trick with the bottle brush trees, which worked like a charm. However, most of mine are Dept 56 and purchased for my village. If you try it with a Dept 56 tree, they bleed green. Lots of paper towels and something underneath the towels to protect your surface is called for. Trees were fine when dried, and color wasn't noticeably different. It's just a bit messy
Your tree is so very pretty! I always try to decorate with the lights on; it helps me to see where I want to place all the other decorations. I love your jadeite ornaments! I saw the video when you painted them.❤. I am looking forward to see what you do with all your santa decorations. 😊❤
Love the tree. I like the jadeite green also. It does look very vintage. It turned out beautifully. Can’t wait to see the rest of your home decorated. Love those tall ceilings ❤🎄
Good morning from Ireland ☘️.It’s so satisfying to go through all the craft stuff and clear and organise we all end up with craft items we’ve forgotten about.your Tree is amazing just love the warm light and your decorations are so beautiful ❤. I’ve got some tree decorations from my parents time and some my kids made I include them all with my own an eclectic mix for sure .Have fun decorating your new home it will be beautiful.💚☘️
Seeing your black beads reminded me of my son and new daughter in law’s tree. They have a black tree (it’s their first tree together) and Halloween colored decorations. I thought it was weird at first with really came out cute.
So fun watching you two!!! Both of you are special at what you do. The tree is Fabulous!! I love it so much, you did a fantastic job decorating it! Love the jadite colored balls Merry Christmas in your new home
Loved seeing your tree, but now that I've seen your Hallmark pony collection I had to get on Ebay and ended up buying two. Evidently there is a craze of girls who ride fancy stick horses. My oldest granddaughter recently got one for her birthday. Hallmark has a bear on a stick pony I had to get. The other one is the paint pony with the cart. I see that one in your collection.
Your tree is so pretty! I actually thrifted our Christmas tree last year. It is huge. I do believe from the condition that it was only used 2 or 3 time. It is the first time we have had one tall enough to compliment our cathedral ceiling. Thank you for sharing your home decorating!
We "ALMOST" got a 9-10 ft tree, "fake":tree, but even working with the little tree lights, I like some to be "white lights", and some to be cool lights. Q
@lisagrafton2529 I wish I could have a real tree. I am highly allergic to evergreen trees. I have severe asthma and they are a huge trigger. One Christmas I spent all day in my room while my parents took down the tree. My parents said then no more real trees.
In Australia you can only redo wiring if you're a licensed electrician, as you can be legally liable if you injure someone, and void your household insurance if it causes a fire. Mind you being married to a sparky doesn't mean all our jobs get done!!
It looks to be juniper garland. At least with the berries.
I decorate with the lights off , i like multi colored lights and have collected years of shiny brite and polish painted ornaments so my tree looks like it's 1940 and i also do icicle tensel and do it one at a time. It takes me a couple of days but the end result is worth it ❤
I bet that looks amazing.. ❤
Love that tree!
You are so lucky ..not only do you have a thought loving husband …he can do things …😊
Warm lights. are nice in the cold winter. Like a cozy fireplace.❤
I have the same goal in my craft studio
Your lucky your husband is so talented when reminding my husband could do all that but his favorite was old cars. He built two rooms on our house he was an electrician by trade.

Yes.. our daughter wants hers. Our son.. not yet… he just rents with friends.. so he’s not ready ❤
You could also photograph each one individually or in groups for your scrapbook or journals. That way you can still have them and give them away.
For the breakable ornaments, use fine floral wire to hang. Cut about 8 inches and attach to the ornament. To hang, start toward the center and spiral around your branch working outward. You can't see the wire and it is secure. When it's time to remove, pull gently. It comes right off. I think Martha Stewart demonstrated this year's ago. You may be able to find her instructions.

That garland looks like a cedar

I just moved and I know exactly what you mean….. hard to move….but your new place looks beautiful! Enjoy watching your videos 😀

I’m still trying to figure out my decorations and I’ve been in this house for a year. Good luck 👍
I decorate with the lights on. That is a really cool tree the way you just put each section together and the lights come on. Great job...
Very pretty.
Hope you feel better real soon!!
What a fun video ❤ !!! Thanks and hope you feel better soon. 😊
I cut my silver beads and use them as icicles. They look like old fashioned tinsel.

I hope you get well soon. Love your new tree and your vision for the bar area. Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to see your home when you are finished with Christmas decorations.
