There are too many adjectives to attach to this video! Enchanting, whimsical, relaxing, inspiring, beautiful, nostalgic... It's something I'd like to sit down with on Christmas Eve and soak up all the beauty and love you have shown. Thank you and Merry Christmas to you both
Oh Darcy, thank you so much. I love all of the adjectives you chose! Yes, I hope you will enjoy it all over again on Christmas Eve - wishing you an absolutely magical December 🌹xx
@@theramblingrose_ "Mr Rose" 😁 He seems a very good man 🙂 Here in Portugal I tend to keep the christmas tree until April, so why not keep it all year? 😁 This episode is the perfect closing of a difficult chapter for you. Life is mostly what we make of it, and you two can make a very good life for yourselves. Be patient, supportive, dreamy and life will be a bliss. Thank you for sharing these moments with us. Kind regards from Portugal to you both 🙂
Lovely transformation, proof you don't need hundreds of dollars to make a beautiful room. Your tree is beautiful as well, I'd have a hard time taking it down too. Wishing you, the Mr and Noah a wonderful Christmas.
Thanks so much! You are right - thrifting, DIY and making things by hand is the best way to get a room decorated quickly on an artist's budget. Wishing you a magical Christmas too 🌹xx
Hi Wildflower- do you know that your soul is so poetic? I enjoy listening to your stories and the soothing sound of your voice. Merry Christmas! And thank you for sharing your gifts with us❤
I love it! The tree is absolutely gorgeous! We recently pulled up all the old carpet in our house, as well, revealing beautiful hardwood floors. Makes one wonder why anyone would cover them with carpet. Sending you both tons of love and lots of hugs. 💖⭐🌙
Absolutely! We ripped it up in the second bedroom too, and that too is covered in paint - sigh! What on earth was he thinking?! Sending lots of love your way too, Rhonda. Thanks for watching. Merry Christmas 🎄xx
The final review was so beautiful. It looks so warm and cozy, and that tree is gorgeous! I have a pink tree, but I am finding myself wanting a snowy green tree now, lol. I also really love the idea of wrapping notes with wishes for memory making. I have to try that.
Thank you! We absolutely love the space now. I'm hoping to get enough time before Christmas to film a bit of the dinner I have planned. And yes, the 'memory wishes' are going to be so fun. What would you wish for? ❤️ 🎅 xx
I am in awe of what you and your love have created and shared with us. You have given me the gift of Christmas spirit. From my heart and soul, I thank you!
Wow, thank you, Marcia, that means a lot! I am so grateful that you enjoyed this film. Sending you the biggest festive squeeze from Australia! Wishing you the most magical Christmas 🎄xx
Beautifully told my dear! I feel as though I've watched a lovely and charming classical Christmas movie. Your cottage is absolutely adorable and you have done such justice to every detail inside and out! xoxo
Thank you so much! So far, I've only managed to decorate and renovate two rooms, so this house will surely keep me busy - and I'm thrifting it all, so watch this space for more! Merry Christmas 🎄xx
Lovely, cozy and magical room. Love the cabinet your china cups look great in it. You two are so sweet together. Merry Christmas to you guys. Your voice and videos are so calming.
How lovely! I am so thrilled that your witchy wishes have manifested for you Mr. Rose. Bravo on the makeover. You are such a special person, and I am happy for you.
Awww Michele, thank you so much! It's funny to think that I 'manifested' him aha - we often joke that he might have manifested me, but we all know I'm the witchy one ;) hehe! Lots of love to you on Christmas 🎄xx
Wow, what a magical room you both have made. I love seeing you so happy. Let this first Christmas be a wonderful one for your memory bank when you are old. Much greetings from the Netherlands 🤗
Oh Sonja, thank you! I am sure we will remember this one forever. We have made so many memories already this year. Thank you so much for watching. Wishing you the most magical Christmas, all the way from Australia - I would love to visit the Netherlands one day! Is it snowing?? 🎄xx
What a timeless beautiful video, you have captured Christmas so well. I’m taken back in time and can feel the love. What a makeover, absolutely gorgeous. ❤ you are the sweetest souls and Noah too. X
Aww thank you. I am so pleased that you felt transported back in time - that was my wish for this episode. Sending you the biggest squeeze and most magical Christmas 🎄xx
Oh my Nancy, so endearing... what a gorgeous room you have created with Mr Rose, my heart bursts with happiness for you and your new found love... have the most magical Christmas together... and thank you for the code to own some of your art work... so blessed... Thank you so much for sharing... x
Thank you so much for your kind comment. I'm so glad you enjoyed this very special episode and appreciate the little gift of art. Wishing you the most magical Christmas 🎄xx
Oh Nancy, the makeover went beautifully. That sideboard was a lucky find. Believe it or not, it is 55 degrees right now. Will be cold tonight here in Florida. Finally! Our summer was sooo hot! Love and hugs to you 🥰 Happy Holidays!
Oh wow! That is very hot for late November over your way! Thank you for your kind comment, I'm so glad you love the result. It was a childhood dream come true to create a Christmas wonderland! Merry Christmas 🎄xx
I really enjoyed this video and what an incredible transformation! I'm so curious about your beautiful cottage and would love to see more makeover content as you transform it into your fairytale home. Merry Christmas to you both and adorable Noah!
Ohhh that's wonderful, thank you so much for saying so! So far, I have only tackled the bedroom and the drawing room, so there's plenty more makeover content to come... it's just a matter of saving and chipping away at it over the months, so stay tuned. There's a library and a gorgeous bathroom on the 'wish list' for the new year - eeep! Merry Christmas, Lyddie 🎄xx
Awww thanks Vicki! There's only a few packs of wrapping paper left! They've been so popular. I think I'll make some more designs for next year. Happy Holidays🎄xx
Ohh, Sandra! Thank you so much - that word 'stunning' made me smile! It's a cosy rainy day here today and I have all the lights on the tree twinkling - Merry Christmas 🎄xx
Your videos are so contemplative and deep. I love it that you dont just focus on a pretty plant, but on taking in and feeling life and nature deeply. Thank you for putting yourself into these videos. The landscapes are spectacular.
Oh Melissa, what a beautiful message, thank you so much for 'seeing' me and appreciating what I put into these little films of mine. I know, some viewers would prefer I just make simpler videos more often... but I can't help myself, I have to make them just a little 'epic' hehe - lots of love 💐 xx
I completely loved this Nancy🥹 The Woodland Wonderland tree is divine ❄️🍄 I loved your words in the beginning, so true. We also have a ceramic Wally Dog; it was my Great Granny's, and the other one smashed apparently☹️ So he sits on his lonesome. We will be watching a Christmas Carol Tonight...Muppets Version 😆(as Laszlo has informed me that he's NEVER SEEN IT😱). Take care, enjoy the celebrations & good luck hosting 🥰🥂
Ahh Jacqueline! Thanks so much for watching and enjoying. So glad you like the makeover and my Wally Dog (something I've been dreaming of for a while now!). Saving up for the next room makeover... you are going to LOVE IT! Merry Christmas, sweet soul 🍄 xx
Awww thank you so much, Steph! Hmmm yes, we must always honour the seasons. It is raining this week, and I still don't feel as summery as usual... but will get there, with the solstice near! Wishing you the most magical Christmas 🎄xx
Oh my, everything is so beautiful and so much more fun when you are starting new traditions with one you love❤. Your home is so cozy, warm and welcoming
It was Mr. Rose's idea! Brilliant, don't you think?! I have one left still to dream up... maybe a bicycle ride through the forest? Merry Christmas, Lorraine 🎄xx
I am so happy to hear that my words have been a small comfort. I really do know the pain of spending this time of year apart from loved ones. I reminded myself often that, in truth, we are all connected and one big family. I would listen to the children laughing and playing in the neighbour's garden (they always had a big Christmas day party with several families invited) and I would just feel their warmth and happiness. It made me feel less alone somehow. Lots of love 🎄xx
Very Beautiful and whimsical! So glad that you are happy! Always love to see Noah he is so handsome! A Christmas Carol is my favorite Christmas movie the 1939 version! Merry Christmas from Louisiana USA 💜💜🌲 🇺🇸
Thank you so much, Robin! It was so fun to decorate. You have more talent and creativity than you know, I'm sure of it! Just grab a hot glue gun and have some fun! Oh, and of course, just follow your inner child ❤ Wishing you the most magical Christmas 🎄xx
The room makeover is gorgeous, I love your tree, the handmade wreath & the idea of the boxes with Sally a note of time together, I may just have to use this idea. I hope you and Mr Rose have a wonderful Christmas 🎄
Thank you Kristin! Another one of my 'wishes' is to watch 'Little Women' and 'Emily' while eating scones lol - all the cottagecore girly vibes! Wishing you the most magical Christmas 🎄xx
Wow, what an amazing find you found under the carpet. Those floors what you and Mr. Rose did to bring it back looks so beautiful. I love the antiques you chose for the room. The Christmas tree looks so magical. I love it. I think maybe this room should stay this way all year round. It would be a cozy place to sit together and have a cup of tea. Noah is precious. She is cute following you around like your shadow. My Zoey (Jack Russell is always at my feet and if I am not careful I will step on her feet.) May you, Noah and Mr. Rose have a blessed and beautiful Merry Christmas Nancy. ❤🧚♀️🦌🎄🐾
So glad you like the room makeover! I definitely think we will keep it that way all year. And yes, I am always tripping over Noah! Wishing you and Zoey the most magical Christmas 🎄xx
Oh my, Belladonna Cottage sure looks magical! As for the Christmas tree (hello - GORGEOUS!), Alwyn Oak has four this year and Afura the Writing Witch leaves hers up all year and changes it to match the seasons. :)
Tiny ones absolutely count! I should have been more clear in my previous comment, what I meant to say is, obviously there’s precedence for keeping the tree up year round (although Alwyn Oak only keeps her stick tree up, I think). A very happy Yule to you and Mr. Rose
My heart sings and expands with this magical story. The amazing tale of 2 becoming 1 will always lift my heart into new octaves. Thank you so very much for sharing, as I too feel this most loving magical tale weaving its way into my life. So here’s to love, turning points, the old floats away and the new brings joy and peace and harmony 🌹😇❤️
It's never too late for a new dream and for life to change completely - thinking back on where I was at the start of the year, I never thought any of this was possible! Sending lots of love and Christmas magic 🎄xx
I heard the first few lines of this vid a few days ago, understood that it was in celebration of December and saved it for today to watch. Your Christmas palette is lovely, especially with all those plummy reds. Perhaps you can do it all over again when your winter returns? That's one way to justify keeping the tree up. 🙂 Happy holidays!
Snow and Santa in his fur trimmed gear. Stogy hot food etc jar with our Australian reality so adapting to our own unique experiences and surroundings makes for a much more enjoyable time, where the over arching objective is, all the world around, to come together to share, be thankful, celebrate what we have, and put aside our differences with peace and love. Send it out there for a change in the existing paradigm that will alleviate the suffering of those caught up in the opposite reality
You are so right, this holiday is about coming together and being thankful, with peace and love in our hearts. So beautifully said. Thanks for watching 🥰 xx
Well done Nancy you both made that little room so incredibly beautiful and festive..you can't beat a good dose of vintage treasure ❤️ as I'm a manager of an op shop here in Canberra I rarely get the chance to get to other op shops to look for things ..you find some amazing things 😊
Oh wow, Lee! You're not far away. I may be making a little trip up there in the new year. Is it fun working at the Op Shop? Down my way, there are so many vintage treasures and antiques. I'm very lucky!
@@theramblingrose_ its super hard work a lot of the times..we are only a small shop so we don't get big furniture and a lot of vintage stuff like salvos and vinnies but we plod along..come for a visit in the new year 😀 🎆🎇🎆🎇
Love your room transformation. So happy to have found your channel. I have been craving an Australian cottage Christmassy vlog as I live in Australia too.
Isn't it the best movie?! I loved it! How are you Sally!? Have you been getting into all the Christmas crafts?! Sending all the elven magic all the way from Australia 🎄xx
Amazing.....from a plain room ....to an outstanding living room. The furniture is priceless. The sofa I guess is $300.00. Way off.....yes. Perfect Xmas 🌲.
Oh my goodness, I couldn't believe that sofa - what a steal! The man was practically giving it away. It only has one small tear in it! Merry Christmas 🌲xx
Haha you're right, I forgot the mistletoe! But thank you, I think we did a pretty good job on a small budget too! Wishing you the most magical Christmas 🎄xx
Thank you for another beautiful and enchanting video. What a wonderful cozy space you have created. Keep the tree up if you love it. I keep mine up year round in our cozy Northwoods cabin. Creates the perfect hygge feeling after the sun goes down no matter what time of year. Merry Christmas to you all.
Maybe one day! I had to choose between expensive furniture and printing a few boxes of my oracle decks and colouring books... so alas, we'll have to stick with the discount table for now ;) Wishing you the most magical Christmas 🎄xx
Ahh! You used the word ‘antipodean’!! I celebrate this! Speaking of celebration,I wish you and your most dearest loved ones a merriest Christmas. What is Australian snow like?🤣 I say this,because we are getting our first snow of the year in my town. I wish I could send you a pic!!! Oh,also you mentioned gum nuts. When I was there in Australia,I found a few on the ground. I took one,only one. A few years later,a braided leather ankle bracelet that I made for a friend eventually broke off,and,being a dear friend,she sent it to me,and I replaced it with a new one. But here’s the magic: I took that leather ankle bracelet of my friend,combined it with the gum nut,which I made a bead of,and,I own a didjeridu that dates back to the 1940’s,and I placed the leather bracelet,with said nut,around the didjeridu. This didjeridu is priceless,now made more so by the little gum nut and wisdom infused leather braid that my dear friend carried with her for years! I wish I could send a photo of that. Maybe I can! I’ll look into it,as this dandelion is feeling his roots pull back deep into frosty soil,retreating from the early setting winter sun,already yearning for the new warmth of the spring to come.
I'm so glad you enjoy the Australian memories and the gumnut goodness! Have you by any chance discovered May Gibb's children's books featuring the gumnut babies? And the ocean characters Pearl Pinkie and Sea Greenie? My childhood imagination loved those! Thanks for watching, Charlie xox
No,I am not familiar with those books by May Gibbs,I must look for them,thanks for the reference! I do have a few Australian children’s books that I purchased while I was there,but the mindblowing discovery I made there were the Ainslie Roberts books. Wow,what incredible illustrations!
What a beautifully written, even poetic, intro to this video! You do have a talent with words in addition to your artistic talent. I'm in the northern USA and envy you your summer Christmas! You're on target about keeping that beautiful tree up. Or maybe you could put it back up again when your Australian winter descends. I live in a small cottage, but I have a 6-1/2' living room tree with a 3' tree arriving on Friday for the kitchen (decorated with cupcake and cake ornaments and plenty of lights) along with two branch trees with lights. I use white trees without Santas and other exclusively Christmas decorations so that I don't get sick of them when Christmas is over. I plan to keep all four trees up until mid March, when the thaw comes and the light returns. I live for the spring and summer and should probably move way south. My salvation is to flood my home with plenty of light during the cold, dark seasons.
Oh, I totally agree that a home filled with light and candles is the only way to brighten up the darker months. I do love the cosy, snowy vibes, but if the south is calling your soul, then do it!! And thank you for appreciating my intro, I do love writing them, and letting my inner novelist come out! Merry Christmas 🎄xx
Awww thank you! This year sure has been a whirlwind - but such a good one, so many changes in my life, when I was starting to wonder... Wishing you a magical and merry Christmas 🌹xx
Oh Sandi, what a lovely thought! No, I've not worked in TV in Australia - yet! Ahah, I'm manifesting a spot on 'Gardening Australia' - wouldn't that be a dream? Thanks for watching 🍄 xx

I literally have no floor space this year,but next year,I must try a tree.
You must! ❤️ xx
Merry Christmas 🎄🎊
SO BEAUTIFUL 🎄🎉
I have my Christmas 🎄 up all year for last 4 years now and I love 🎄🎉🎊
Aha that solves it, Pattie, the tree is staying up!! Thanks for watching ❤xx
Oh my, Belladonna Cottage sure looks magical! As for the Christmas tree (hello - GORGEOUS!), Alwyn Oak has four this year and Afura the Writing Witch leaves hers up all year and changes it to match the seasons. :)
Okay, I think I'd better get a few more trees too then!! Hehe - do the tiny ones count? Merry Christmas and Yule blessings from Australia ❤️🎅 xx
Tiny ones absolutely count! I should have been more clear in my previous comment, what I meant to say is, obviously there’s precedence for keeping the tree up year round (although Alwyn Oak only keeps her stick tree up, I think). A very happy Yule to you and Mr. Rose
My heart sings and expands with this magical story. The amazing tale of 2 becoming 1 will always lift my heart into new octaves. Thank you so very much for sharing, as I too feel this most loving magical tale weaving its way into my life. So here’s to love, turning points, the old floats away and the new brings joy and peace and harmony 🌹😇❤️
It's never too late for a new dream and for life to change completely - thinking back on where I was at the start of the year, I never thought any of this was possible! Sending lots of love and Christmas magic 🎄xx
The drawing room is beautiful and has the Christmas spirit throughout.
Thank you so much! Merry Christmas 🎄xx
Thanks for sharing . Have a blessed Christmas 🎄 And so will we from here in Queensland Australia 🇦🇺
Have the most magical Christmas, Trish 🎄xx
Magickal 🎄💫🥰
Thank you! Have a magical Christmas 🎄xx
I heard the first few lines of this vid a few days ago, understood that it was in celebration of December and saved it for today to watch. Your Christmas palette is lovely, especially with all those plummy reds. Perhaps you can do it all over again when your winter returns? That's one way to justify keeping the tree up. 🙂 Happy holidays!
I love that idea - Christmas twice a year sounds perfect to me! I'm all about those plummy reds this year. Happy Holidays 🎄xx
Excellent! Same to you! @@theramblingrose_
What a Beautiful and
Precious Video!
Happy Holidays, to the
Both of you!
💚❤️🎄🤎🎄❤️💚

Truly magical! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching, Jamie! I'm so glad you felt the magic 🎄xx
You captured the aesthetic perfectly!
Thanks Erica! This was so fun! I admit, I am quite Christmas crazy!
Snow and Santa in his fur trimmed gear. Stogy hot food etc jar with our Australian reality so adapting to our own unique experiences and surroundings makes for a much more enjoyable time, where the over arching objective is, all the world around, to come together to share, be thankful, celebrate what we have, and put aside our differences with peace and love. Send it out there for a change in the existing paradigm that will alleviate the suffering of those caught up in the opposite reality
You are so right, this holiday is about coming together and being thankful, with peace and love in our hearts. So beautifully said. Thanks for watching 🥰 xx
Such a beautiful and inspiring makeover. Merry Christmas Season 🎄🎁
Thank you so much, we love the 'Enchanted Christmas Room' so much! Wishing you the most magical Christmas 🎄xx
Oh wow! That's stunning.
Thanks Paula! Merry Christmas 🎄xx
Well done Nancy you both made that little room so incredibly beautiful and festive..you can't beat a good dose of vintage treasure ❤️ as I'm a manager of an op shop here in Canberra I rarely get the chance to get to other op shops to look for things ..you find some amazing things 😊
Oh wow, Lee! You're not far away. I may be making a little trip up there in the new year. Is it fun working at the Op Shop? Down my way, there are so many vintage treasures and antiques. I'm very lucky!
@@theramblingrose_ its super hard work a lot of the times..we are only a small shop so we don't get big furniture and a lot of vintage stuff like salvos and vinnies but we plod along..come for a visit in the new year 😀 🎆🎇🎆🎇
Love your room transformation. So happy to have found your channel. I have been craving an Australian cottage Christmassy vlog as I live in Australia too.
Ohh wonderful! I'm here for you and all the Australian cottagecore bush magick! Merry Christmas and thank you for watching 🎄xx
I just watched that movie today! The room turned out quite lovely.
Isn't it the best movie?! I loved it! How are you Sally!? Have you been getting into all the Christmas crafts?! Sending all the elven magic all the way from Australia 🎄xx
Amazing.....from a plain room ....to an outstanding living room. The furniture is priceless. The sofa I guess is $300.00. Way off.....yes. Perfect Xmas 🌲.
Oh my goodness, I couldn't believe that sofa - what a steal! The man was practically giving it away. It only has one small tear in it! Merry Christmas 🌲xx
Im late coming to the party...but very enchanting
Thank you so much - happy to have you at the party, better late than never ❤xx
So magical and enchanting video!!!Thank you i really enjoyed it !
Merry Christmas sweet soul!!!
Thank you! Oh I love the word 'enchanting' - so glad you enjoyed it! Wishing you the most magical Christmas 🎄xx

Thank you : )
You are welcome 🌹xx
Absolutely Gorgeous!!!
Thank you!! Wishing you the most magical Christmas 🎄xx
Absolutely beautiful 😍
Thank you so much! I'm so impatient to start another room makeover already, but my budget says "not right now, Nancy!" 😂 Thanks for watching 🌹xx
Happy for you!
❤️ 🎅 xx
It looks very Victorian, good job! You did forget the mistletoe though, although it seems you two don't need it ;) Merry Christmas to you!
Haha you're right, I forgot the mistletoe! But thank you, I think we did a pretty good job on a small budget too! Wishing you the most magical Christmas 🎄xx
Thank you for another beautiful and enchanting video. What a wonderful cozy space you have created. Keep the tree up if you love it. I keep mine up year round in our cozy Northwoods cabin. Creates the perfect hygge feeling after the sun goes down no matter what time of year. Merry Christmas to you all.
Thank you, I think I just will 🎄 Gosh I love it! Merry Christmas and thanks for watching 🌹xx
Absolutely gorgeous ❤️ Not sure about the coffee table though 🤔I could see a nice solid oak Edwardian one in front of your gorgeous couch.
Maybe one day! I had to choose between expensive furniture and printing a few boxes of my oracle decks and colouring books... so alas, we'll have to stick with the discount table for now ;) Wishing you the most magical Christmas 🎄xx
❤❤❤Beautiful 😍
Thank you so much! Wishing you a blessed Yule/Litha 🎄xx
So beautiful!!! ❤
Thank you! We are in love with our little drawing room now. Happy Holidays and thanks for watching 🎄xx
Ahh! You used the word ‘antipodean’!! I celebrate this!
Speaking of celebration,I wish you and your most dearest loved ones a merriest Christmas.
What is Australian snow like?🤣
I say this,because we are getting our first snow of the year in my town.
I wish I could send you a pic!!!
Oh,also you mentioned gum nuts.
When I was there in Australia,I found a few on the ground.
I took one,only one.
A few years later,a braided leather ankle bracelet that I made for a friend eventually broke off,and,being a dear friend,she sent it to me,and I replaced it with a new one.
But here’s the magic:
I took that leather ankle bracelet of my friend,combined it with the gum nut,which I made a bead of,and,I own a didjeridu that dates back to the 1940’s,and I placed the leather bracelet,with said nut,around the didjeridu.
This didjeridu is priceless,now made more so by the little gum nut and wisdom infused leather braid that my dear friend carried with her for years!
I wish I could send a photo of that.
Maybe I can!
I’ll look into it,as this dandelion is feeling his roots pull back deep into frosty soil,retreating from the early setting winter sun,already yearning for the new warmth of the spring to come.
Oh I do have a means to send pics,hooray! I will do so shortly ❤️
I'm so glad you enjoy the Australian memories and the gumnut goodness! Have you by any chance discovered May Gibb's children's books featuring the gumnut babies? And the ocean characters Pearl Pinkie and Sea Greenie? My childhood imagination loved those! Thanks for watching, Charlie xox
No,I am not familiar with those books by May Gibbs,I must look for them,thanks for the reference!
I do have a few Australian children’s books that I purchased while I was there,but the mindblowing discovery I made there were the Ainslie Roberts books.
Wow,what incredible illustrations!
What a beautifully written, even poetic, intro to this video! You do have a talent with words in addition to your artistic talent. I'm in the northern USA and envy you your summer Christmas! You're on target about keeping that beautiful tree up. Or maybe you could put it back up again when your Australian winter descends.
I live in a small cottage, but I have a 6-1/2' living room tree with a 3' tree arriving on Friday for the kitchen (decorated with cupcake and cake ornaments and plenty of lights) along with two branch trees with lights. I use white trees without Santas and other exclusively Christmas decorations so that I don't get sick of them when Christmas is over. I plan to keep all four trees up until mid March, when the thaw comes and the light returns. I live for the spring and summer and should probably move way south. My salvation is to flood my home with plenty of light during the cold, dark seasons.
Oh, I totally agree that a home filled with light and candles is the only way to brighten up the darker months. I do love the cosy, snowy vibes, but if the south is calling your soul, then do it!! And thank you for appreciating my intro, I do love writing them, and letting my inner novelist come out! Merry Christmas 🎄xx
I love your videos and your decor is absolutely beautiful!! I’m so happy you found love too.❤️❤️❤️
Awww thank you! This year sure has been a whirlwind - but such a good one, so many changes in my life, when I was starting to wonder... Wishing you a magical and merry Christmas 🌹xx
What a marvelous makeover. Happy holidays to you and Mr. Rose.
Thank you so much! Happy holidays, Julie 🎄xx

Where is Victorian drapery foe the window? Lol. 😊
Still saving, I'm afraid 😭 The curtains I want are over $500!!
