Nicolas, you have such a calm elegance about you.....your style is impeccable and refined....I really enjoy your content. Thank you for sharing your beautiful world with us.
The Floral in question is called Genista and it is grown on the Italian Riviera. It has a wonderful scent. Thank you for supporting your local florist.
Hi from Barbados. I love the quiet elegance of this amazing setting. What would truly make it for me is seeing the food you serve at your dinner parties. I love seeing you cook and I want to know how you put together your menus. Thank you Nicolas for showing us achievable elegance.
I'd add that since the floral buckets have only one good side of the hydrangeas showing that as the guests are seated, remove the arrangements and place them on the bureau on the back wall, good side out. That frees up space for your 6 guests to have salt and pepper shakers, basket of breads, relish tray to pass and hot dishes served with trivets. The floral arrangements have 3 elements of color and texture but 2 guests dont see the front side of the arrangements. 2 big floral statements for a 6 top is a lot. The flowers need to look good 360, no front or back, that's why i suggest having them on table at first, then remove and place them on bureau, good side facing out. Maybe just some greens by candles for color.
BEAUTIFUL! You have been taught well to iron your linens! Love some other tubers but they never iron. My 90 yr Mother loves watching your wonderful viedos here in California!
I love all your videos but these are the type that I find absolutely inspiring. It’s all about making simple everyday life elegant, artistic, cozy and fun. These make me want to live my life more beautifully… get out the silverware, the china etc and invite my friend over, the very few ones I have. Thank you so much for this kind of content. It fills me with hope and joy
There's just something about a man ironing that just warms my heart. The taking of the drawer out to open the cabinet door did not escape me. I think we are soul mates. Beautiful table, Nicolas. I always marvel at your talent. I am imagining your guests gathered around this festive celebratory table. I wish I was a fly on the wall. I wonder what you will be serving? It is summer here in Costa Rica so some people trim the palms while others do the pine tree and it is customary to put the lighted tree on the front porch so everyone passing by can enjoy it. I think that is so thoughtful of these loving people. Thanks many times for letting us into your home to experience your Christmas. Kisses, Sophie. Does Sophie get a special treat for Christmas?
Your tablescape and florals are beautiful. You gave me a good laugh when you had to remove the upper drawer on your buffet in order to open the lower door. 🇨🇦
Lovely, Nicolas. The table setting sets the tone for an intimate gathering. Florals the right height so as not to obstruct sight lines. Simplicity is elegant.
I love that you kept the floral arrangements low for conversational purposes, most of those table decoration videos have those massive arrangements that no one can see over and wouldn’t be useful when having a dinner party. Loving your style👌⭐️
It's been a pleasure watching you and Sophie all year long. I look forward to more joyful moments in the coming year. May your holiday season be filled with warmth, happiness, and cherished memories. As we step into 2025, I hope it's a year filled with exciting journeys, delightful surprises, and countless heartwarming moments. Cheers to more walks with Sophie, culinary creations that bring smiles, and quality time with friends. Happy New Year Nicolas!🎄🍸🥳
Nicolas please consider sharing with us what your music choices are in your videos. I always enjoy the accompanying music and sometimes would truly enjoy adding one to my collection. Thanks for all of the loveliness you share.
Lovely and restrained table setting. Your eye for detail from ironing out the creases in the tablecloth to deciding to do without the placemats and chargers. Wise move. The table looks splendid. As for the Hyacinth reference, I think you’re more William Hanson. I’m sure your holiday dinner was a success.
So beautiful for a festive Christmas gathering. A warm intimate feel. I love how you patron your local florist 💐. I’d love to see your Christmas menu 🍽️🎄
Your portrait in the background is really lovely, and I really enjoyed how you decorated your own table for the holidays in this vlog. You're definitely giving me ideas that I can use myself.
Thank you for staying in there and continuing your channel through these past several years. It’s the calm in the storm of life! Nice table and chairs, and beautiful table setting! I had a bench at my table for years and I found it was helpful to seat older folks at chairs and younger at the bench. The older people appreciate the back support and the younger love the bench!
Things I love ... your humour which enables you to break the rules with a hint of mischievous rebelliousness ..... your stunning black cardigan ..... your muted gold tablecloth and accompanying tortoiseshell wine glasses (and come on - those black candles are exquisite).. Don't hate me, I watched this 2nd episode, before the first one, as I knew it would instantly transport me to that Christmassy place ! Superb video - thank you xx
I was so excited for this and it did not disappoint for even a second. I love the way you made changes, for example, not having six glasses you used other glasses instead.
Nicolas, I love your channel. I loved this video as it brought up memories. As the oldest daughter, I was always in charge of pressing the tablecloth for all the holiday meals, especially Christmas! I never did it directly on the table tho! Please continue doing what you do! Merry Christmas from Virginia, USA
You alway make a lovely vlog Nicholas,You make everything so peaceful and elegant.You guests will love being seats at your table it looks beautiful ,You have exquisite taste.
Very pretty. I have never seen dark brown candles but they are a perfect match here. You may consider using one of the placemats in the middle of the table just to have some contrast to the tablecloth, the golden baskets and the flowers.
Sitting and watching while enjoying our first fire in our wood burner, on the 5th of December is a perfect way to end a lovely day. Thanks for sharing Nicholas. The table looks elegant and very inviting! Your guests will love it.
Très belle table, très élégante, tout à votre image. Je ne commente jamais mais cette fois ci, j'ose. Merci pour vos vidéos, superbes, quii m'amènent toujours un sentiment de sérénité et de plaisir. Bonsoir de Toulouse !
Hello Nicolas thank you for sharing this video, the decoration is so beautiful, the warmth of your home is delight, I love your smile when you light up the candles at the end, it’s good to see that you feel happy ❤❤
Nicolas! Your drawer management system is so real lol. Take out the top drawer to get access to the lower part and then follow the reverse pattern to put everything in place 😁🙌🏻👏👏👏
Wow, looks wonderful! You made the right decision with the chargers, the white against the cloth is lovely and the flower arrangements are inspired with your table settings. Alas, I don't have an eye for these things and end up in a state and panicking when I have to make a decision so just buy impulsively which is most often all wrong. So it's great that i can take lessons from you.
Hi Nicolas, Sometimes, when I set a table, I use a napkin under the plate. I put one corner of the napkin at the top, another corner at the bottom, and of course, you have a corner of the napkin to the left and right. When you lay the napkin, half of it or a bit more is on the table. You have to adjust it to the size of your napkin, your space and liking. Your white napkins under your plates might look nice this way, with a gold napkin matching your table cloth set on the plate. I have done this several times and received many compliments. Just a thought. I love all of your beautiful dinnerware and linens. I, too, love collecting both and enjoy making an elegant, country or whimsical table. Have a Happy Christmas and a lovely New Year!
Such a lovely intro to your vlog-the best I have seen. The table is very elegant and memorable. It will be very enjoyable for whomever gets the opportunity to sit and dine at your table. Love the wall color-might I ask the paint color?
Hola Nicolás que hermosa decoración de tu comedor me gusta mucho tu estilo francés , tu comedor se mira bien elegante gracias por compartir saludos 🤗🙏👍👏
Another beautiful festive video to share with us. The table and your dining room are exquisite. It is chic but very warm and inviting. Your dinner guests are lucky indeed. One of the many things I like about you is that you do not pretend to be perfect and will always admit when things might not have worked out as you had planned. You add more warmth to the Christmas season. Thank you. May you enjoy the holidays with friends and loved ones.
Nicolas, the flower arrangements are divine!! I adore those beautiful Hydrangeas with that gorgeous color combination. I just LOVE that wispy pine greenery and will seek that out here in my area in the US! Your table scape is perfectly beautiful. And your omitting the place mats at this point in time is no take away from the table scape. I so enjoyed your musical pieces - as I always do. Such an elegant dining room. Your full body portrait speaks so much about your beautiful personality. Love that painting. BLESS YOU!!!
Stunning, really relaxing watching you in your element. The dinning room looks gorgeous and I soooo love the painting, the colour scheme the you and Sofie…..dream xx
Love the colour of the tablecloth Nicholas. Yellows are my favourites. I have a lot in my home. However I still prefer clear glassware. But still beautiful setting❤️
Table decor looking not only beautiful but also cozy, honestly when in other video i saw you unpacking this new table wear I didn't expect that this fabric color can be looks such nice
Elegant, as usual! I love how each year your Christmas table is unique, like you! When I watch other lifestyle channels, and they always use Styrofoam for their flower displays. I remember in an earlier video, you shared with us that using chicken wire is so much more eco-friendly. Thank you for reminding me! I will definitely use chicken wire this year, too! Wishing you and Sophie and beautiful and meaningful Christmas season!

@@helengreen6724 uh they just answered that question dude
It is a type of white pine which is very common at Christmas time.
I love your simple, not over-the-top, quiet elegant table setting.
And it all comes naturally with you, no rehearsals, just instinctive actions.
Hi from Barbados. I love the quiet elegance of this amazing setting. What would truly make it for me is seeing the food you serve at your dinner parties. I love seeing you cook and I want to know how you put together your menus. Thank you Nicolas for showing us achievable elegance.
PREACH! I would love to see what he is serving to his guests.
As would I, and many other subscribers! Thanks Nicolas.
I wouldn’t call you Hyacinth Bucket, but it did make me laugh! You have such a lovely touch with all of your decor!
She would say bouquet … 😂
@ Ya, she was always putting on airs! 😂
But… we all love her 😂
Love your flower arrangements. A beautiful table - you have an eye for effortless elegance.

Just enjoy his table..no lectures
@@marciamellow1211Gosh can’t people offer suggestions? I agree with her. Great suggestion!
@@daisyflower4105 but she's just rearranged his whole table!!

Beautiful. I really like the elegance feel of this table. Christmas without red everywhere.
Simply stunning! I love your color choices, it looks so chic and elegant. Very warm and inviting.
Oh do so like the flower arrangement the colour of the hydrangeas give a festive vibe without being too Christmassy, nice touch ❤
Very calming, beautiful to watch in these days of noise and hurry, love the piano music too.
I adore everything in this video, so beautiful, so tranquil and cozy ❤
Nicolas, I have never seen anything or anyone do beautiful decorating like you do it, especially table decor setting.
Truly enjoyed this video 🎄🍁🍂

Simple elegance is always a winner🎄
Your table setting is gorgeous. You have such exquisite taste. I love hearing your soothing voice. It's like watching ASMR video. ❤
Hyacinth Bucket! 😂 she does love her Royal Dalton with the blue periwinkles. A lovely table setting. 💛
It’s Royal Doulton.
I think the dark tapers r a particularly elegant touch!❤
Lovely! I think the black candles pull the flowers together with everything else.

Hi Nicolas, you are a classy guy and and a great host. The table looked beautiful.
I really appreciate the way you pay such lovely attention to detail.
Lovely table setting so elegant and peaceful looking.
Very elegant and warm. Merry Christmas
Beautiful table so perfect and thoughtful for your guests ❤
Very elegant and sophisticated 🌹🤎🤍💚
Purely ethereal Nicolas. Perfect ending to the video with your full length painting residing over your beautiful table. ❤️
The hydrangeas are beautiful and perfect for Christmas!
You tablescaping is one of my favorite things you do. That and tea at home. But I enjoy all your content really. I’ve been a fan since Covid days.

Love the colour of the tablecloth Nicholas. Yellows are my favourites. I have a lot in my home. However I still prefer clear glassware. But still beautiful setting❤️
Elegant colors, pretty centerpieces.
Hi, Nicolas your table scape is just cozy , elegant and beautiful. Happy happy holidays. Enjoy.
🎄 Merry Christmas Nicolas, lovely holiday table. 🦌
Such a unique and elegant colour scheme that I would never have thought of as festive, but you made it so! Well done!!
Quietly festive❤
If you put the tablecloth in the dryer on low with a moist hand towel it will help with creases.
You do a marvelous job and so beautifully present every detail! Your guests are so lucky!
Love, love, love your videos! Thanks for doing vlogmas this year. Can hardly wait for the next one ❤
Gorgeous Nicolas ! and the hydrangeas are beautiful.
Table decor looking not only beautiful but also cozy, honestly when in other video i saw you unpacking this new table wear I didn't expect that this fabric color can be looks such nice
It’s definitely elegant. Beautifully staged, but I feel reads more fall.
Lovely...Thank you Nicolas. 🎄
I love your beautiful table, simplicity with the right things that match so well together ❤❤❤

You may find placing the chicken wire across the top of the vase easier to use & arrange flowers in. ❤
It's about time that you have your very own TV show! 🎉
