Does anyone else feel like this year just flew by? It seems like Jack was just putting together the “snow maker.” Maybe it’s just the older I get… but geez! Hope everyone has a blessed Advent, Christmas and New Year.
Your home is pretty & you! I have all the elements you mention but not in neutral colors. I love traditional Christmas colors. It always makes happy when I walk into a shopping place with Christmas traditional colors! I’ve tried over the years to tone it down but ended up donating those items. Red, green & gold for me!
Love the idea of putting the Christmas trees in pots! It really elevates them - both practically and figuratively! I’d love to know how you did it. Did you ditch the usual cross bar base or is it still in there somewhere? What’s the pot filled with? Your enthusiasm is always so infectious, love it! 🙌
As a Canadian; I can tell you, we do not get the amazon deals you do. Sometimes What you pay 30 bucks for, we’ll be paying close to double. It’s actual unaffordable sometimes.
*Evergreens and Oak Leaves* . My color palette for 2023 is evergreens and oak leaves, with metallics in bronze and copper. I love a rustic woodland look and rusty browns were calling to me this year. I placed my tree in a garden urn and used foraged oak leaf branches to fill it in. I added copper fern picks, some frosted stems, glittery metallic pine cones, a few furry owls and did a huge frosted/icy spray for the topper. Brown velvet and brown tartan plaid pillows on the sofa and chairs with black velvet down throws. When the lights in the tree and garland come on, it's perfection!
Hi Valentina, Love everything you do and am actually experimenting with black this season.....it took me 78 years. However, I double dog dare you to introduce some RED one of these years. I will be patiently waiting.
My pottery barn fur blankets are my favorites. Your house always looks beautiful. This year I added more greenery and bulked up my garlands. Looks so much better. I only put out 20 boxes of the 75 that I’ve collected over 50 years. I am so ready to rid myself of half this year and more next year. I need to simplify my holiday decor. Thanks for the inspiration
All 💯 great again! Thanks for including the 🎶🎵 playlist. I love your taste in music🎵🎶too! And as an extra side job, you have the qualifications for a D.J.!👌
I always start with music. Some Dean Martin or Franck Sinatra’s classics are my favorites. Even if here in France, most people start to decorate later in the season, I start to put here and there some touches of Christmas. It helps to bring some light inside as it is darker outside.
Thank you so much for all your work and inspiration! Your house is so beautiful, cozy, and warm. And also my special thank you for Christmas music station, which I guess one of the best collections of the classical Christmas songs. Thank you again, happy holidays, and my best wishes ❤❤️🎄🎄
Valentina you nailed it again!!!! Your family room looks so beautiful and festive! You gave me such great ideas to add to my holiday decor!! Thank you. I can't wait for the whole house tour☺
Yippee! You added the spheres. I missed them in the living room and here there are the family room. I, too, have the black velvet curtains and cushion covers - the punctuation marks of the room! Love your looks at every season but your Christmas decorations are always breath taking. Can't wait for the rest of the house. Thank you for all the tips and tricks.
I just LOVE the joy you exude!🥰❤️😃 If you only knew how contagious it is to your viewers!💯 I always leave your videos smiling and thinking to myself, "I really like her!". So Thank You for being a bundle of energy and joy! Merry Christmas to you & the fam! ❤️🎄😃
I bought the curtains that you recommended! I loved Christmas crate and barrel room with the black velvet curtains against the white wall. They are so high end. These are beautiful and give the look I was going for.
I become overwhelmed with my minimal Christmas decorations. Some mini lights in my garland, candles in beautiful candlesticks, and my adorable six Jim Shore Snowmen. I wish I could overcome the simple display of Christmas decor, but I start putting it away by the second week of December. ❤️🙁💚
Another wonderful video!! Had a smile when you were talking about the TV showing the fireplace on it and you said you would leave the ‘ingredients’ below. So cute.😊
I think another way to decorate for the holidays (or any other time) on a budget is to use what you already have (picking a pallette that will go with your everyday decor) and add a few things here and there if needed. You can also rearrange things for a different feel. My Christmas decor is blue, white, clear, silver and gold/brass. I also like to mix up more modern pieces (C&B ornaments that are at least 10 years old at this point) with vintage I find at antique stores. The vintage stuff brings in the soul that is missing from all new pieces and the more modern pieces make the older things feel more updated. I also have a few pieces from my mom that she no longer wants (but I do)... to add a little bit of family tradition into it. I am lucky enough to have a Terrain within driving distance, so I go there for some inspiration. I learned last year that it was less expensive to order some of their candles directly from the vendors. The key to stretching your money is to really learn how to shop. If you do that, you can get better deals than Amazon (the ONLY things I buy semi-regularly on Amazon are design books...and that is after checking prices elsewhere...sorry!) Almost everything goes on sale at some point. The really special things that won't...that is what the savings is used for. That all being said...I agree with having your favorite holiday music playing and adding lots of good smells from holiday baking!
Definitely true that it's important to price compare, learn how to shop, and be patient. Sometimes there isn't much time for that so Amazon is vital to quickly getting the things we need and want.
@rmcar549 I get that. I also know there are people that like to change everything every year. I like the traditions of the holidays so I tend to use what I already have and add a few things here and there. It's also because I don't have the space to store everything I could potentially want without looking like a true hoarder. So...I need to rein it in when it comes to Christmas. lol
Love how you’ve decorated your home for Christmas 🎅🏻 this year V, you’ve given me some great ideas, I haven’t put our Christmas tree up for the last couple of years, we just haven’t been in the Xmas spirit of things and this year is no different after losing my best friend this week, so close to Xmas, but what I might do to add a little Xmas cheer is put some of my Christmas tree branches in my vases just to make it look a little like Christmas, we don’t have any little children and our son spends Christmas with his partner’s family, so there’s just my husband and myself on Christmas Day, just another day in my home, but I so miss decorating for Christmas, maybe next year it will be better…Happy Holidays to your family from mine. 🎅🏻🧑🏻🎄🎄🎄🇦🇺
I'm so sorry for your loss. Maybe you could buy some special candles or a lantern to light and place beautiful photos of your friend around it along with some fresh pines and just have this little area to pray and remember them. You can leave them out all year or just bring them out this time of year in remberance. I have done this for many special loved ones, and it has been very meaningful to me. I hope this is helpful. Be well.
@@tlm2546 Thank you for your kind words, the night before last I was having a hard time and pulled out some of my decorations and put them around the inside of my home and a few in our outdoor living area, you are so sweet to recommend what you have and you’ve given me an idea Thank you for that, I live in Australia 🇦🇺 and our Christmas season is Hot 🥵 Summer weather. ❤️❤️🧑🏻🎄🎅🏻🎄🫶🏻🫶🏻
Val, please don`t pain the lounge white. you already broke my heart with your bedroom :D I`m kidding, it looks amazing as all the rest of your home. I just looooove your black rooms 🖤 Wishing you and your family and amazing start of the holiday season! hugs from Prague 🖤
Valentina, I am a Fan of yours. Busy watching your old videos & thanks for sharing your Spotify list. Pls if you could update where to find the big planter and lamp or a dupe of the lamp pleaseeeee…
Hi Valentina, you have truly inspired me and I have purchased so many things that you have recommended. Can you please share the details of the black lamp behind the sofa? I need one! Thank you!
Thank you for the Video amazing! I just bought the velvet curtains off Amazon US fallowing your link!! I had to pay for international shipping but I don’t mind I’m sure I will love it… I was so looking for a beautiful not so expensive curtains 👍🏽😊
My favorite faux fur throw is from Arhaus. Like PB, they have various types but I prefer the Arhaus "Luxe" (I think it was called) type. They are pricier than PB but better quality, IMO. It comes in an oversized version also that is larger than any PB has. I believe its a Queen size in measurements. I think its the softest and most real fur feeling one on the market that I've tried - at least in the longer fur. The shorter fur styles that are soft are pretty easy to find anywhere, but the longer fur variations are hit and miss in terms of softness. Some are downright gross and stiff feeling. I think I asked before and I don't think you had mentioned but I'd love you and Jack to do a walk-through video at Arhaus - especially for the holidays! Too bad that RH stopped any and all holiday items😢... I have a variety from their past holiday items, luckily. Not sure why they stopped recognizing Christmas. And I love your Spotify Playlists! Do you have a new one this year with new Christmas selections, or is it the same from last year I wonder? I'll check it out, regardless!
Thank you !! Love all your Christmas items.. From what store are those gorgeous stems with the pinecones from? Target? I could not find them...thank you!!
I LOVE this room and all of these tips!! Fantastic video! Thank you so much. One question. I checked both your LTK and Amazon storefront and I don’t see a link to the pot that the tree is in. Could you please share? And a tutorial on putting a tree in a pot or basket would be wonderful! Thank you!
I want to order the velvet curtains but not sure which width? My window is 39 1/2” wide. Should I order 42” or 52” wide? I probably won’t close them, just leave them on the sides.
@houseofvaletina h8 Valentina where can I find the rug selection you mentioned in the video. I would like to see some of the options you have. I need a new rug for the holidays. Great content 👌
The link for “your” Christmas tree doesn’t take you there anymore. I heard you mention the brand Terrain. Will you please tell me what tree you have (which fir) and if it’s pre lit so I can watch it and hopefully get one next year

Yes, please let us know.
I love that idea! Now I'm obsessing on how to get the tree in a pot!
Share how you put your trees in the containers....desperate to do this. Looks AMAZING!!!! YOU TWO ARE AMAZING!!!
Yes, please share.
The tree in the pot was my favorite, it really made the while room.
I could see this working if you remove the tree stand, hold up the tree in the pot, & then fill the pot with gravel to hold it upright?
@@Heyu7her3
Maybe you could use bricks to hold the top heavy weight and then cover with black velvet.
Your large tree in the pot is definitely a step up from all the tree collars on the market right now….please do tell us about it!!
As a Canadian; I can tell you, we do not get the amazon deals you do. Sometimes What you pay 30 bucks for, we’ll be paying close to double. It’s actual unaffordable sometimes.
Same in the UK sadly !
Same in Australia 🦘
Agree! Amazon in Australia is pretty terrible for homewares
Same in Greece
Same in Singapore. So sad.

This is amazingly wonderful for Christmas 🎄

Valentina you bring Joy throughout the year, but you go next level during this time of year and I'm here for it!! HO HO HO!
Beautiful! And the black velvet curtains make your room look so LUX! Gotta get me a pair!

I love the cabinet (under the TV) in the sunroom. Source?
Those velvet curtains are spectacular and make the room sing! ❤
Classic and cozy!! Please share the Christmas tree pot details…people want to know! Thanks!

Thank you for the ideas. I purchased two of the beautiful mercury candle holders from West Elm. 🥰
Thank you for the Video amazing! I just bought the velvet curtains off Amazon US fallowing your link!! I had to pay for international shipping but I don’t mind I’m sure I will love it… I was so looking for a beautiful not so expensive curtains 👍🏽😊
Love your sweater, please share brand/link!
Thank you for all the ideas! I love your videos, always look forward to them especially this time of year 🥰🎄
I would LOVE to add velvet to my home. But it’s impossible with pet hair. It’s like a magnet. How do you do it with a dog?
Thanks for all your tips, love your beige sweater - any info on that?
I bought the 16” ones on Amazon! $199 vs. $77!
To think of anything new to say to You to Describe how Wonderful You Are !!!❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Inspired to go decorate!
Very beautiful! How do you keep your sofas so clean and white????
Hi I love your videos. Can you please tell me where you bought your couch from?

I loved everything! Where is the coffee table from??
Where does the black floor lamps behind you from ? Is beautiful!
I love love your floor lamp, where did you get it?
Again, I dare you to include ONE red item in your Christmas decor this year!
Artificial trees start to breakdown after ten years where they release some not so great for you “dust.”
Thank you !! Love all your Christmas items.. From what store are those gorgeous stems with the pinecones from? Target? I could not find them...thank you!!
What color paint do you have on your walls! Love it! Great video. Thank you!
I LOVE this room and all of these tips!! Fantastic video! Thank you so much. One question. I checked both your LTK and Amazon storefront and I don’t see a link to the pot that the tree is in. Could you please share? And a tutorial on putting a tree in a pot or basket would be wonderful! Thank you!
Love the video! Where is your coffee table from?
Just returned to scan the comments. BEST Q ever! That table is perfection. Leveled up her game on that purchase.
I love the marble bowl! My concern is the dust it would accumulate in the crevices. Any suggestions on how to clean easily and quickly?
I love the bowl too and see many people out there decorate with it. But it looks like a coffee filter to me! If I had one, I'd put it in the kitchen.😊
Great ideas!
Glad you like them!
Where is the swag from over the picture frame?
Could you please let me know which brand your white couch is from? Thanks.
Gorgeous as always. Where did you get the pot your Christmas tree is in?
Love your rug advice!!! I love rugs. They are powerful and sexy. ❤
I want to order the velvet curtains but not sure which width? My window is 39 1/2” wide. Should I order 42” or 52” wide? I probably won’t close them, just leave them on the sides.
Loved this video! Thank you for sharing your classy Spotify Christmas playlist. ❤
What is the tree sitting in?! Love that. Can you send link?
Does anyone know the SKU number for Terrain for the Christmas tree she recommends?
Which tree is the one at Terrain that you have ?
What size is your black pillows? Thanks
The SKU number for the tree at Terrain please
Could you do $ store frugal lux ? Curious how you’d decorate with $ store finds
How do u keep ouch so clean w kids!
Hi are your orbs the 12”?😘

Hello Valentina! Love your decorating is amazing! By the way what happened with your fur baby haven’t seen him in your videos anymore?😢
Reading the pillow chop is out??
The link for “your” Christmas tree doesn’t take you there anymore. I heard you mention the brand Terrain. Will you please tell me what tree you have (which fir) and if it’s pre lit so I can watch it and hopefully get one next year
does your dog bother the tree or the Orbs?
Crazy enough, not even once.
Ok, puh-leeeese, that very modern lamp behind you. Where did you find that???
Yes, I'd like to know where that lamp is from also. Might be R H
Is there a link for the coffee table in this video?
Where is your couch from??
❤
QUESTION: If you would have to buy a new sofa today, what color would you choose?
Cream or sand
Thank you@@tlm2546
When do you have time to clean???
