I always think it’s a good idea to sign and date your homemade items. Then if you keep using them through out the years it makes it more special. Merry Christmas
Your puppy reminded me of my grandfather's puppy, Sam. Sam passed away probably 20 years ago and my grandfather passed 21 years. These are happy memories. We never know the small, unintentional ways we can effect people. Thank you so much for sharing your home and creativity w us.
Another idea for a xmas tree skirt, would be a cardboard box. Faux finish the outside, paint it white first, and use brown acrylic paint to give it a faux finish barn wood look. The urban outffitter paper (if tea stained) would also make a good 'map' because of the way it looks. I, too, have white trees that I bought last yr, after my green faux tree died after many, many yrs of use. I only use reflective decorative items on my white trees. X-mas pillows on the porch bench would also be nice, in the red & white color, or red traditional red and green color.
Your trees are already next level! For me, there can never be too many lights. I mix different styles of lights on each tree, as long as the temperature/ tone/color matches and they blend well. I want everything glowing for the dark, gloomy days of Dec.
GAW-JESS! Great ideas. I thought of another mid-century modern ornament you might appreciate: blow balloons up to desired ornament size, dip string in starch and wrap around balloons, being sure to crisscross the string. When starch has dried, pop the balloons and remove. Spray paint as desired. Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅☃️
Your balanced and inventive esthetic adapts so well to different applications. Your trees each have their unique personality and are equally stunning in their own way. I have really been looking forward to this, and it was definitely a treat. I am not usually a fan of itty bitty anything, but your tiny tree is genius and won my cold, cold heart. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and that 2024 brings you the wider recognition you so richly deserve. Give Her Majesty the Queenie a biscuit from Uncle D!
Loved seeing all your unique ideas come together. Each tree had it's own beautiful personality that truly worked! I liked how the colors popped off the white tree. I was thinking it could use some more colorful kitchy ornaments like Kathleen illustrated made from colored paper recently. Back in the day, people would cut strips from colorful soda pop cans to make similar elongated armillary ornaments. Sorry if I'm always blathering ideas at ya, side effect of you inspiring my creativity train of thought ( off the rails , crazy train😹). But you did ask for specific ideas on the white tree...😻
I love your ideas Erica! Always feel free to share them… even when they don’t work for me, I’m sure everyone else would love to hear what you’re thinking! Thank for sharing ❤️❤️❤️
Well done, Andrew! This Video was like a beautiful visual symphony with excellent structure, harmony of interesting different elements that came together perfectly and culminating in a rich display of end results, at perfect pace... lingering just long enough to satisfy visual senses. Great filming, great framing and close ups of unique cohesive design. I loved all your choices and combination of old and new. Everything was in just the right place - perfect ! You really have the eye. The whole house is really coming together. It needs to be in a magazine or a coffee table book. If you were to put one together on print on demand service, I'm sure many of us would buy it. Thank you for paying attention to your viewers wishes and delivering above and beyond. Your natural talent together with such professionalism and openness to learning and growing is a sure way to a great success. Your efforts are very much appreciated and noticed, Andrew. It's so exciting to see you professionally blossom before our eyes. All your ideas are so well executed and designs are unexpected yet feel just right. You are a really special Designer with superb taste!! Wishing you every success in everything you do and rooting for you. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us. It was a visual feast that I will watch more than once. You Americans, once again, are head above the rest when it comes to doing things well 👏👏👏
Aw thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful comment as always! I was thinking about you with a bit of a longer “reveal” this time 😂🙌🏻 I appreciate your feedback and always strive to make these videos original, informative, and enjoyable. Thank you for watching!
@@REISSUEDYou did an excellent job, young man. Thank you for taking on board constructive advice from older people. I'm so proud of you growing into your full potential. Only bigger and better ahead. I know we will see you do even more amazing things in the future. Have a wonderful New Year. You're a great credit to your family
Oh, I always get so excited when I see your videos pop up! Love how you see things differently and repurpose them accordingly, you have so many awesome ideas, from the lampshade tree stand to your coffee stirrer wreaths n such! Honestly didn't think you'd be a 'white tree kinda guy' but wow, it is YOU! Lol! You make everything you and that's what's so cool about your channel, you do you and not follow everyone else's trends! Love it all, have a very Merry Christmas and send along Christmas wishes to your parents as well!💞🎄✨💫
Aw thanks Lyndi! Yeah the white tree spoke to me at the ReStore - probably because it is discolored and more cream toned now 😂 Thanks so much for watching! ❤️
I really love the decoupaged wood blocks. They would be cool conversation pieces on a coffee table if anyone didn't want to make them into ornaments. Also, i make a lot of art with old books. I don't feel bad about taking the books apart. Better to make new items from them than throw them away! I enjoy all your videos. Look forward to many more as long as you are inspired!
In our family it always, your tree your rules. We are all different. My eldest sister is very traditional, my next sister has a very modern tree and is very minimalist and me, well I have decorations everywhere. The stand for my miniature tree broke so I found a nice size pot plant and stuck it in that, works well for me. Might steal the wooden blocks idea and put photos of my grandkids to hang on there trees.
uhhhh, it's always an inspiration to watch your beautiful and amazing ideas come together. I love the originality of how you put things together and how your mind works. I ha ve not seen anyone else as fabulous on YTG and am so grateful to find your channel and watch all your creative processes. Wowzers. you're really wonderful. Looooooove the blocks and all your collected beautiful paper and images!
We use to put a beautiful decorated Christmas Tree outside in our porch. Till it was stolen one day. I was devastated. Both trees are beautiful. Oh and you look good without the Mustache as well.
Omg, each tree is absolutely fabulous! I can't choose a favorite but the white tree is SO enchanting! I loved seeing you create the unique ornaments (can I take credit for the idea of wrapping trim around a cone?!) and how genius are the tree baskets??!! Ugh. What a fun video and can't wait for the next one! :)
OMG! they look so beautiful! I think the green one is my favourite! Love seeing the different wreaths on your doors. Wishing you and your family a wonderful holiday!
WOW just wow, I would be hard pressed to tell you which tree is the prettiest, at first I was all about the white tree then I saw the green tree and both of them are absolutely stunning for different reasons. The little tree is sweet and suits the space. The white tree is screaming mid century and I adore mid century, the green tree says to me romance and a comforting time gone by vibe. I can hardly wait until, the next episode. FYI I’m looking forward to seeing you create more original artwork.
Both trees look spectacular, but my favorite is the white tree! Love how everything looks so cohesive in the end when it's all put together! Thank you for sharing! Merry Christmas!
Everything looks wonderful! I've never been a fan of white Christmas trees but yours is GORGEOUS!!! The green tree is beautiful as well...everything just sits perfectly! The little tree is adorable. I put up a little tree with all of our sentimental ornaments. Just perfect Christmas decor! Thank you for sharing.
Howdy Andrew & Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!! I hope the coming year brings you every good blessing the universe has to bring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Big hugs from Kenny Ohio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do love your rings, you should talk about them sometime!!!!
Hi Andrew. Glad the Nutcracker went well, even if you had to shave! Love the little tree, it is so quaint. I decorated a white tree several years ago. I used only two colors, green and blue. Both were similar in tone but varied in size and shape. They really popped against the white tree and white lights. I thought with the laundry basket you might have wrapped the interior with a beautiful paper or piece of fabric. Then you would almost have a trellis look going. Enjoy the holidays!
Welcome back Andrew very Merry Christmas to you and your family! Queenie must have missed you a lot! I'd love to get a tiny peek of you preforming Nutcracker some day, but only if that is something you wouldn't mind to sharing of course 🙂. White tree in your kitchen is my favorite tree tiny tree is adorable everything looks great! Comment would be too long if I listed everything!
man you really do inspire me to see anything as a potential material! i just never think that way or i forget. thank you for always inspiring and your trees look beautiful!
Andrew, I love how the trees turned out! You have such a good imagination! I love the little trees with the trim, the stars, blocks, all of it! You're very talented! Great job! Merry Christmas to you and your parents too!❤
the blocks reminded me of a similar thing I did long ago with blocks that I bought online already cut and used 6 8"x11" photographs making them into a puzzle of sorts. There is something about the faces of the block making multi dimensional really juicy right? I liked how you brought that idea even further!
I love your marble-topped dresser! Did it come that way, or did you add a slab on top? I'm in the process of topping my dresser with marble contact paper... only because I'm not enthused about how much weight an actual slab will add 🥴
Hey there! You mean the one in the kitchen? That’s actually just solid surface! Marble would look awesome though! Contact paper sounds cool! Maybe Formica would be a good option for less weight too 🙌🏻
The christmas trees looks great! What an Inspiration! The pictureblocks is something I want to do also! Thanks for sharing your ideas! Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅
Love both the white and green trees. My favorite was the skirt for the small tree and the lamp shade skirt! I received my art card set from you about a week ago and love them! I'm struggling if I should send them to friends or keep for myself. I'm not creative at all but have even thought about making a collage once I find a thrifted frame. Don't be surprised if you see another order for the card set from me very soon. I keep telling myself they're too good to not share so I will need my own to keep. 😊
I’m so glad you love the tree skirts! And I’m SO happy that you love the art cards! I send them all the time as “thank yous” and I just think it’s such a fun and thoughtful thing to share! But they also would look fantastic in frames at your house 😉
I love how your parents are so helpful and involved, it's really sweet to see. I loved the white tree, giving 1970's nostalgia vibes. My favourite items were the cloisonne bells and the origami stars, so simple yet so effective. I love how you are just bursting with ideas. All three looked magical 🎄⭐⛄⭐🎄
I think the big picture with the reclining lady could have been cool to place on a chain of blocks, keeping the images contiguous down/around the chain, so it's broken up but still recognizable. Plus some playfulness with the idea that it might wind up looking a bit like one of the features they tend to have on playgrounds with the spinning blocks
I just got done selling at a holiday arts and crafts fair, and I'd done some wreath paintings on crackled wood and some wreath coasters, but was a bit stumped about what I could do that's "holiday" and also fits my aesthetic, and your block collages are exactly the type of thing I could riff on, using collage materials that are the sort of "weirdo alien artifact" style that I like. Thanks so much for always being inspiring!
In Sweden/Nordics we have advent candelabras and/or star lamps (Stråla lampshade at IKEA) in the windows. It's so cosy and gives this warm mood light in your home in the darker months
I love how those look and they would be right at home in my geometric style! I’ll think about those for next year! Thanks for sharing your thoughts ❤️🙌🏻
Oh, my goodness, "To Dance, to Dream!" We had that book as kids. My sister was a ballerina, so we read it a hundred times. I love all the decor you made! It all looks so vintage and passed down. Love it!
I'm a real tree gal but all your trees look fabulous and now I might be a white tree convert! Love that one in particular and you decorated it so beautifully. You were so right to keep the scheme lighter. I hope the ballet job went well.
I enjoyed watching you sand at your front porch wooden railing. I did that for a very long time until we redid the house exterior and changed the rotting railing to a thin metal one. You must have a safe neiborhood to be able to put your handmade ornaments ouside. Love it all. Hope you have a blessed holiday.
Thanks Barbara! Yeah the front porch has been a great place to do a little sanding! And yes I’m lucky that my neighborhood is very safe - plus I have a security doorbell just in case. Have a wonderful holiday season!
You are a creative force to be reckoned with. Since graduating fashion school I've been burnt out and not into art at all, but your DIYs have helped me just try things again and I feel so much better! Creative and a little more fulfilled. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us! Also, I love your folks being a part of your art.
I think that is more of a me thing haha - although the historic homes around me go CRAZY with holiday decor so my tree and string of lights seems mild 😂 I mostly opted to do the tree on the porch since that is an attractive and finished space - whereas my living room and entry are still construction zones 🫠
Forget the coffee or tea..I'm halfway through and thinking I need a Negroni or Bellini. LOL...I'm thinking the coffee stirrer glue up was too a bit EXTRA for me! Looks great tho. Happy Holidays Andrew. PS...Who doesn't like a lot of tassels? 🤩
Your trees are beautiful and filled with so much creativity and inspiration! I love the whole focus of everything you do - reusing and repurposing unloved and under appreciated items. Merry Christmas to you and your lovely parents and of course, Queenie! ❤ 🎄 🎉
I'll never ever understand fake plastic trees (of any kind). Sorry, I'm Scandinavian, if it's not a real tree, Christmas is fine without a tree, you can always put lights on your garden trees or shrubs, make a real evergreen swag or wreath. There's is no reason for the ugly plastic junk.
I always think it’s a good idea to sign and date your homemade items. Then if you keep using them through out the years it makes it more special. Merry Christmas

Forget the coffee or tea..I'm halfway through and thinking I need a Negroni or Bellini. LOL...I'm thinking the coffee stirrer glue up was too a bit EXTRA for me! Looks great tho. Happy Holidays Andrew. PS...Who doesn't like a lot of tassels? 🤩

You are so creative!Thank you for sharing your ideas!
Your trees are beautiful and filled with so much creativity and inspiration! I love the whole focus of everything you do - reusing and repurposing unloved and under appreciated items. Merry Christmas to you and your lovely parents and of course, Queenie! ❤ 🎄 🎉
I'll never ever understand fake plastic trees (of any kind). Sorry, I'm Scandinavian, if it's not a real tree, Christmas is fine without a tree, you can always put lights on your garden trees or shrubs, make a real evergreen swag or wreath.
There's is no reason for the ugly plastic junk.
Beautiful! I especially love the golden, structural coffee stirrers and diy wooden block ornaments; super creative!
Standing Ovation to you young Man. You are A Genius. Thank you so very much.
