Hi Julie , I feel like I know you. Found your channel several months ago , I have enjoyed each and every video!
I would like to tell you a little about myself . I’ve carried a little paper around with me for close to 20 years with my dream home on it. I drew out the plans and sent them to the designer in April 20 20.He worked with me to fine-tune everything and finally found the builders that I am sure can do the job. I’m the owner of a health and wellness spa , this is what I’m focused on all the time , to help others to achieve optimal health naturally. At the age of 65 I awake each day with excitement in getting to learn design and you are great at teaching us all!!
I love love love learning of feng shui. It is hard to believe that I was intuitively designing my house properly. Where I’m living now ,Is a two room facility that I had built to stay in while my house is being constructed I had placed a mirror on the kitchen counter directly across from the cook stove and since June 1 the smoke alarm has probably been activated 50 or more times so whenever I watched your video about mirrors and feng shui I immediately moved that mirror !!!!! Thank you for all the videos teaching us about this energy.
I do have a question my living room is 18x28 fireplace on one end The front door entrance the kitchen opening which is a large arched wall the dining room opening the wall to the courtyard is a wall of glass doors and also the doorway to the master suite is all coming off of this main room. I’ve watched your videos on creating sitting areas in these odd shaped rooms , But I’m confused about coordinating the furniture I like your idea of everything not matching matching but I want it just somehow go together.
Oh yes almost forgot to say my home should be ready in March 2022 I will continue to use every spare moment watching your videos and learning more each day to create a most wonderful place to call home finally .. Thank you Julie for all youre doing for us out here.. I greatly value your expertise in design 🙏🏼❤️
Thank you for watching and leaving a wonderfully kind message Pamela. As for your living space, you need to create a natural path for egress, so 36” away from the primary bedroom door is a must. Once you mark out the clearances, the space you have leftover is the maximum space for the seating group. Watch my video on focal points so you understand where to place the largest sofa (opposite the focal point usually). The rest can fill in from there. You got this! Let me know if you have any additional questions once you land on that video 👍🏻☺️
I appreciate seeing many different styles. Sometimes I like formal traditional with beautiful china, but I also like the homey comfortable scape with a spread of autumnal vegetables and lots of deep colors.
I don’t even own china, but I do dream of setting these elaborate formal tables Linda 😍
Perfectly imperfect is my vibe as a minimalist. Fresh flowers and candles with cloth napkins. Seeing these fancy tablescapes is so much fun! Kudos to those who can create them.
Simple, but effective Lori 🙌🏻☺️
Stunning ideas for all design tastes, everyone will find something they love here 🎊
I hope so! Thank you for watching Harmony 🙏🏻☺️
Thank you for sharing Thanksgiving table scapes! This season is my favorite so I appreciate you not skipping it. Beautiful ideas.
This is my first time doing Thanksgiving ideas! I don’t know why I missed it before, one of my fav holidays Veronica 🙌🏻🍁🍽🦃
Thank you Julie for a great video! After watching, I shopped my house and went out and bought a few nice additions for the table scape. Our holidays are the times we use beautiful china, cloth napkins, silverware and crystal, but not in an overly formal way. As much prep work as possible is done in advance so the day of is much more relaxed. Blessings to you and your family!
Exactly! I want the day of to be all about catering to my family and guests, not fussing with decor Linda! 🙌🏻☺️
A tremendous variety of table settings. Excellent job. I got a few ideas for Christmas table set up too from this video. I have my tree up and visible from the dining room by thanksgiving. It’s artificial. I have always felt that Halloween starts the holiday seasons. Because it gets dark early I like to keep the outdoor holiday lights going so I start the set up for Christmas right after Halloween just so I can have the lights. They make me smile. Such a happy time of year! And you are at the start of your happiest years because it’s all about the children. Keep up the good work!
I did the same. Tree went up right after this video was filmed 🙌🏻🎄
Loved this video! Thank you for the huge collection of tablescaping ideas! So inspired now!
Thank you for watching Lynetta! There’s not much to it once you get some ideas to start 🙌🏻
This makes my eyes pop from joy and happiness! Thank you soooo much, Julie!
Thank you for watching Fleur 🙏🏻☺️
@@JulieKhuu Of course. You're very welcome. You're one of my favorite people when it comes to this stuff. Love your videos so much!
Lovely video Julie I can't wait to arrive to San Diego to start preparing for Thanksgiving day. I usually do fancy buffet. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family 🦃🦃❤❤
Same here Suha! Our family does fancy buffet and I always set up an elevated centerpiece 🦃🍁
Lovely table sittings! I'm a traditionalist. Great ideas for a beautiful 🦃🦃! As long as family are together for good food and fun, Thanksgiving is great!!!
Family is everything! As long as they’re fed and happy, we’ve done a great job Estrella 🙌🏻☺️
I love both traditional and modern depending on my mood. Happy Thanksgiving Julie to you and the ones you love. Thank you again for your beautiful and informative videos♥️
Me too Debbie! I mix it up according to who I’m hosting that evening. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! 🍁🦃🍽
Thank you very much Julie. I’m not sure how to text to reply when you make a comment I hope you see this. Take care
Dressing the table is one of my ultimate p,erasures. I love it so much I often start days before the event. A couple of my tips are: I don’t use napkin holders or menus at the place settings because they litter up the table immediately when the meal starts. I place the beautifully and sometimes artfully folded napkin at each setting and I post the menu on a chalkboard that is visible to everybody. I also add a nice party favour at each setting. It might be a hand written recipe card or themed item to match the setting. For example I made chicken pot pies one time and each person when home with a lovely crudest pie bird. Loved all your inspiration shots!
That’s true! I do have to go around and corral all the napkin holders once dinner begins 😆
I love the way you gather all these ideas for us.
Thank you for watching Jim and Judy! 🙏🏻☺️
Very nice, thanks for sharing all these gorgeous table settings!! 🥰🥰
Thank you for watching Monica 🙏🏻☺️
Great tips! Since I have so much time in my hand I can focus on food n decorations this year 🥰🥰🥰
Holidays start right after Halloween 🎃 🙌🏻
There’s so much to comment on after watching this video. First, your hair looks sooo good! You’re beautiful woman! Next, I needed the placing walk through, thank you. The colors you chose for the best time of the year were wonderful. This was an enjoyable video.
Thank you for watching and the kindness Matthew! Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🍁🍽
Just on time 🍁🎄✨💫❄️🌨⛄️! I can’t wait to experiment with these ideas 💡. This is a great video Julie thank you!
Thank you for watching Paula 🙏🏻☺️
I really am enjoying various creative table setting designs. Just finished doing my table setting. I use my best dishes every day. I don't understand why people have their china just for special occasion, every time you get to break bread family is a special occasion. I hope you do one for the holidays.
I saw your RUclips video and it was helpful in prepping my table for thanksgiving dinner. I really appreciated the input of setting table up ahead of time, so I did it the night before. I felt completely set on thanksgiving day to have the table all ready for guests. Thank you for your thoughts. I also loved the different themes you showed. I’m a classic fall color theme person. I love the burnt orange & browns.
I love classic for Thanksgiving, but always change it up for a whimsical Christmas Karen! Glad you got some tips, thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
Loved the video, helps to give me ideas!
Thank you for watching Lucia 🙏🏻☺️
Like always ❤️a great video!
Thank you for watching Myra 🙏🏻☺️
Happy Thanksgiving, Julie. You're glowing with beauty and grace, especially your elegant hair. Never stop believing in yourself and your dreams.
Thank you so much Byron! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! 🦃🍁
Omg that is the video I needed . Thank you Queen 👑
Thank you for watching Erika 🙏🏻☺️💖
Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful holiday. 🥰
Thank you for watching 🙏🏻☺️
Love your excellent videos! I have missed them … moving my elderly parents across country! I will catch up and watch the ones I have missed. Thank you Julie for sharing your great ideas! 💕😊
Good luck with the move Karen! I’ll be here 👍🏻☺️
@@JulieKhuu Thank you Julie! ❤️
Ong you are so classy
I love this ty ty ty❤❤❤
Thank you so much! You’re the sweetest 💖💖💖
Beautiful- can’t wait to see Christmas ideas 🙂
I have a ton of Christmas videos up already Theresa! Can’t wait to add some more this year 🎄☺️
@@JulieKhuu 😀👏👏👏
awesome content Julie Khuu. I crushed the thumbs up on your video. Maintain up the superb work.
Thank you for watching Keyser! I appreciate the support 🙏🏻☺️
Very useful video and love your new hairstyle
Thank you for watching Marta! I just chopped it all off ☺️
Lovely content...Thanks a lot. I'm an avid fan.
Thank you for watching Cherry! 🙏🏻☺️
Love the ideas you shared. Our thanksgiving is going to be fun as my family in California is coming to Texas to celebrate. My dining room is an eclectic mix of contemporary design with Asian accents. I can’t wait to decorate my table and will be using black placemats, gold chargers and not sure what dishes I’ll use….I have inherited 2 sets of china from my mom and the white china is always my go to because it works with everything.
White black gold = classic combination 😍
I cook a fairly traditional Thanksgiving meal, and serve on my green depression glass collection! Definitely need ideas on how to style then a little better, but it's looking like "eclectic" is more what may fit.
I assess my inventory and design accordingly CaSondra. Eclectic sounds fab 🙌🏻
I love your outfit
Thank you for watching Divine 🙏🏻☺️
Hi Julie - I just discovered your channel and I love your content and variety of ideas. I too love to set a beautiful table for the holidays. I have a question tho, with beautiful decorations displayed on the center of the table, when dinner is served, do you remove decorations prior to serving dinner, or do you leave decorations and serve buffet style? Or, leave decorations and utilize a sideboard or table to place all the platters, bowls, bread baskets etc?
I leave the centerpiece and serve buffet style, but that’s how I entertain. If you want a more formal table where all of the dishes are Kayed out, opt for a true centered centerpiece and disperse candles throughout. That is plenty to fill an already crowded table Terry
Great ideas, thanks. I love setting a pretty table, it's nice to set it the day before but don't do this if you have a cat because it will spend the night re arranging everything and napping on the dinner plates. Learned this from experience 🤣
Haha then hours before the event it is Jen 😂
Thanks for the good chuckle about your cat! Happy Thanksgiving!
😂😂😂😂😂
The colorful table at 5:34... my head is exploding. The many varieties of drinking glasses - I know there are many. Any idea where I might find similar ones? So gorgeous...
Use my Pinterest hack to find anything you see in my videos! I made a video to show you how, check it out 👍🏻😊
Branches of dried sage on the table and whole nutmegs and peppercorns by the candles to warm them and release some of those Thanksgiving smells.
Ooh I can smell it now ☺️
👌
Great tips im.more traditional
I always allow the guest list to dictate my mood that day Lotta ☺️
I like to mix modern and traditional.
Keeps it fresh! 👍🏻☺️
I used to do traditional but this year I going more modern and using colors, like blue, that I use year round. Except for outdoor decor, there is no orange in my fall / thanksgiving decor this year.
I love that bold move Mavis! Go with what you love 💙
Beautiful.. but where do you put the dinner?
I illustrated conditions for both a formal dinner spread and buffet style Jocelynn - of course you’d just remove the big statement pieces, but keep the scatter if you’re setting dinner on the table 🦃🍽🍁
everyone grabs a paper plate where im from
Easy and gets the job done 🙌🏻😄
It's all about family fav meals, our kids want paper plates, tons of desserts....they don't like washing dishes.
I feel you! Same here when it’s just a casual buffet, but I love to go all out for the holidays ☺️
Our choices definitely differ..lol. However..i will give what is *Just my own personal opinion...because you asked us to.
For my taste...i do not like tall centerpieces, as you said they block conversation, but neither do i like scattered loose small things that just look disjointed & feel like they were tossed around as an afterthought.
Some of those 'centerpieces ' in this video were far too busy, a riot of loud brassy colours, they caused tension & noise..uncomfortable enough to possibly cause a migraine...as will too much, no matter how lovely, tends to crowd out the diners plates, as some of that foliage was doing, overlapping onto diners plates...making them feel..not quite Welcome there at that table...
Folded napkins, be they playful or traditional are welcome comforts..unless they are literally slopped onto the plates & literally hanging over the sides of the table..that' just...looks & feels..careless..and might cause doubt & concern about the fare we may soon be ingesting......
Feathers, while they can indeed look striking, should never be laid on a plate people are going to eat from...they are harbingers of dust...put them in tiny bud vases a fair space from the plates..their impression is still implied.
On the other hand you did have some Wonderful and Brilliant things on the tables..but they were hard to spot & often got lost in the crowd.
Eating, even if a Formal dinner...must Always be all about Comfort.
We should always give our guests a sense of Welcome & Belonging
Hi Julie! Another very interesting and helpful video of yours again. Very timely to our forthcoming thanksgiving lunch or dinner. The funny part is that every Thanksgiving, since I belong to a big family, we ended up using all disposables like paper plates, cups, spoon and forks. No one wants to wash dishes. But your suggestion and illustration will serve as a guide and ideas to us your subscribers. Thank you for sharing and enjoy the rest of the week.
You can at least set up a beautiful centerpiece to keep the holidays festive Beth! 🙌🏻😉
@@JulieKhuu yes, I will try. Thank you and stay happy and safe. Your aura is very contagious. Very energetic and very creative. 💖
