ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ธ.ค. 2023
- Prior to full Christmas home tour, I will be a sharing snippets of rooms, in our New England 1790 cape house, as I decorate them. Today I'm sharing two rooms that are almost done, the dining room and our tavern/laundry room, and a look at the kitchen tree with faux copper quail ornaments I made.

My heart was touched by Willow’s act of sharing her toys with fox. Everything room is magical. Your wreath is the most beautiful I’ve seen.
Your Dining room and Tavern turned out beautiful with your Christmas decor and sweet Willow is so precious to share her toys with the family.
I sure hope Santa is extra good to her this year.
Willow is wonderful!!! How precious putting her treasures under the tree!!! I love her. And you to pieces!!!
Willow sharing her toys was so sweet! Things are looking so beautiful! Hard to believe that only a year ago , your kitchen was quite torn up! You are working magic!
When I look back to last year's December Diary entries it blows my mind!
Your home looks absolutely beautiful...the decor is truly New England Fine Living!
Thank you!
Sweet Willow to share her toys! 💕 I love the idea of wrapping gifts in a matching theme, for each tree! Everything is so beautiful and inspiring!! 😊
Thank you! 🤗
The copper birds are lovely and are so charming with all the fruit and cookie cutters. What a sweet way to use regular kitchen items on your tree!
Thank you! Then back to the cookie cutter jar they go!
Linda, you have outdone yourself ! I just love the decor with the fruit and the skinny little tree with the minimalist decorations very of that period. The tavern looks so amazing and so cozy. If I had your home I’d never leave . Blessings to you and your family.
Thank you so much!
Linda, your dining and tavern rooms are so Christmas cozy! The quail ornaments are perfect on the kitchen tree. How adorable is Willow to share her toys!! I can't wait for your whole house tour. 🎄❤🐕
Thank you Debbie.
My mother taught me to wrap gifts and make my own bows, but I took my skill to a new level by watching my father. He wrapped a gift for my mother as I watched, and the corners and tucks were so even and crisp, I couldn't believe my eyes! He never did reveal how he learned to wrap gifts so perfectly, but I now know how he did it.
Linda, you have a lovely home and you never fail to inspire me to try out a new spin on things. That Willow gets the talent from momma. Have a blessed day!
Thank you so much!
Once again, Linda, you immediately draw us in with perfect music accompanied by beautiful images of your home! Willow’s gesture to the annual visiting fox was so precious. Absolutely love all the decorations-the icicle tree was a favorite and your wreath splendid! The copper quail ornaments are lovely and a great project. Thank you again and again for inviting us in!
Once again Willow has stolen my heart. Aren't dogs wonderful?! I especially like the partridge ornaments, but everything you do is simply the best. I get so much from your videos. ❤️🌲
Thank you and thank you for watching!
Linda, you are so inspiring and creative! Willow is the sweetest of sharing her toy with the fox. ❤
I love your fox tree. Really cute. (What a sweet gesture Willow made.) You know back in the day, the decorated trees that my parents had were nothing like today's trees. These days, anything goes. People are so creative with what they come up with.
Children and animals lead us. Willow definitely has gifts of the spirit this christmas
So true!
Good morning, beautiful video. I had to pause the video as soon as I saw the crystals on your tree, I had a bag of them collecting dust, not anymore. The perfect finishing touch on my kitchen tree. I also stopped the last video to buy the Christmas cottage book. It is beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration. Have a blessed holiday.
Good morning! I'm glad you will be using your crystals. I've been adding them to my tree for as long as I can remember and love the sparkle.
Your home is so lovely. Willow jester almost made me cry, so sweet..
Linda, your home looks so beautiful. The packages look so pretty wrapped. Willow cracked me up with the toys, how cute is that? :) TFS, ❤️🎄✨🎁❄️🦌
Thanks Liz! I had no Idea Willow had such manners. LOL
Willow is so sweet and such a special dog...love him❤
Your visions for your home...have come together so beautifully..
Love everything ❤
Thank you Marcia!
EVERYthing is absolutely gorgeous, inside and out. I Ioved every bit of this video, from beginning to end. That TAVERN is so incredibly magnificent. (I watched that part twice.) Thank you, for sharing all of this with us, Linda.❤️🎄💚🤗
I'm glad you liked it!!
You have created such a lovely home, Linda. Comfortable and relaxed, but elegant and refined, too, especially with Willow adding the final touches! Thank you so much for sharing, and Season’s Greetings from 🇬🇧.
Thank you so much!
Things are so festive. I'm wrapping all my gifts in red plaid paper this year. You are so clever with your crafts. I'm sitting here surrounded with Christmas decor and my creativity seems to be nonexistent today. So I'm turning into my inspiration ladies to give me some ideas. I think the fox tree is my favorite. ❤
Gosh Linda I wish I could just visit your house! It’s absolutely beautiful! A big hug to Willow for having such a kind , beautiful heart! How adorable is that, sharing her toys? Just melted my heart!
Good morning Linda, Absolutely stunning! I love the touches of Williamsburg elegance. OSV inspired maybe?
The copper paper quail look so good maybe you won’t even need to redo them in real copper. Willow is just so sweet, please give her a hug from me.
Hi Kathy! I'm on a quest to share touches of "New England" elegance and share things I read in old books, even though I love all things Williamsburg. I grew up seeing the Christmas decor during old house tours as a child before knowing what/where Williamsburg was. I have a few craft projects I hope to work on inspired by what I saw. Paper stars coming up that I make, after since seeing them on Martha Stewart's show way back when, but I saw them on some outdoor trees and decided to make them again and hopefully an ornament inspired by what I saw in the Printer's building.
@@newenglandfineliving Your videos have definitely inspired me to try to bring some NE elegance into my colonial
home on the cape. Thank you for all that you do.
Linda, do you think you enjoy decorating Sugarwood more maybe, since you know it's your forever home. And you are remolding to your style and likes?
I love the partridge ornaments! That is just precious that Willow shared her toys ❤❤
Your house is so beautiful
Thank you so much!
Stunning Christmas decor. And love Willow's contributions 🥰
Dear Willow, how cute to give her toy & ball to Fox!… Your trees are just splendid Linda & how inventive are the cut out quail decorations. Love the Tavern look & the gorgeous Christmas Wreath… great video..more please!..🎄
Thank you Jean!
Linda, your hubby found a real gem when he found you. You have raised a sweet Willow to be unselfish with his toys...it the magic of Christmas. Thank you ~
Love the icicles on the tree. That’s how I remember my mom decorating nursery decades, and decades ago.
Sweet Willow,
Love your presents , wrapped beautifully
Love love your partridge on the tree, perfect
I so love your tavern room and the fox tree, so thank your for sharing them again. I'm quite partial to foxes, horses, hounds and traditional equestrian motifs, so I always enjoy seeing them in your decor. How sweet of Willow to share her favorite toy and ball with the fox under the tree, too! Clever girl! I also love your quail ornaments. I adore quails (and pheasants), so I might have to try making some ornaments, too - thank you for that inspiration, as well. A few years ago, I had a very small flock of quail wander into my yard and under an evergreen tree one August, which was so unexpected and such a treat. I do have a small wooded area adjacent to my back yard, but I'd never seen quail in the area. They were delightful, but eventually wandered away, although not before I took several photos of their brief visit. So fun!
They are such a cute bird!
You could use a metallic copper colored sharpie around the edges of the birds to cover up the white. I find the metallic sharpie set to be useful for so many things.
Thank you! I love that idea and will pick one up!
The Christmas decorations are beautiful! I was going to suggest modge podge for the quail but it looks like your process worked just fine. You can practically modge podge over anything and get the shape/texture you want. It broke my heart to see that Willow left toys for the fox, I recently lost my standard poodle and she was the sweetest best friend anybody could have.
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss! Hugs
It's all looks stunning. Can't pick a favorite thing but I really LOve the whimsy of the "fox tree".
I love the chandelier crystals on your tree in your dining room. What a great idea! I am always on the hunt for the icicle ornaments. I love how they look on a tree.
It's something I've been doing since I was little. I used to love watching them catch the daylight then the Christmas tree lights.
The ambience of your home....it is enchanting, magical and inviting. It is what Christmas looks like to me. Love all your trees but I have to say that the dining room tree is my favorite.
Thank you!
Beautiful Linda! You are so creative. Especially loved the, I believe, the dining room tree, the table top tree.
Hi thank you! Yes, that is in the dining room. I think I will do small like that from now on. Always did full size.
Love the facade of your home and your diligence in keeping it colonial. Every room inside is a marvel-I could see men in powered wigs and embroidered waistcoats along with their “ladies” in flowing gowns made of sumptuous fabrics. You’ve hit the ball out of the park on this transformation Linda!
Thank you so much Beverly!
Your ideas are awesome! Willow is so sweet leaving those gifts for the Fox!!
Morning Linda, the house truly looks like a story book. You have done a wonderful job. I know it has taken many hours to accomplish all your decorations. Thank you for sharing. Huge for Willow
Thank you so much!
Your home is always magical, but especially so at Christmas and Halloween! I hope your business announcement is that New England Fine Living magazine is going to be published again. I’ll be the first subscriber! Merry Christmas to my favorite You Tuber! 🎄
Hi Pam, That is not the announcement, but I do hope and have plans to produce some sort of publication for next year. Not sure if it will be a special magazine issue or a coffee table book. It will happen if I can keep myself focused LOL.
You never cease to amaze your kindred spirits with your beautiful creations. Thank you for sharing the copper craft. Willow touched my heart with the sharing of her favorite toys. ❤ Your videos are the very first thing that I watch with my wake-up coffee. Love to you and yours. Angel hugs from Florida. ❤. PS, How old is Willow?
@@noreenpouliot3403Willow will be turning five on December 21st
Your home is just beautiful and your New England decorations are perfect! Love it.
Thank you!
Good Morning…..sharing a cup of coffee while i watch ❤
Good morning!
Willow is adorable ❤ Enjoying these December diaries, thankyou Linda x
Thank you!
Willow made my heart grow!!!❤❤❤❤❤. What a precious pup!!!
The quail/partridges turned out great, and fit on the kitchen tree so well with the fruit pictures. You are truly so creative. I love watching your videos!
Thanks so much! 😊
Everything you do is so wonderful. Your home looks magnificent, and I love beautiful Willow's contribution, and how she knew to place her favorite toys is priceless. 😍🙌
Right as you put the 2 copper paper birds together, when you were crafting...there was this chirping in my ear, seriously!... a bird in the bush, right behind me in my sitting room, where I watch video was chirping away through my window... was pretty cute!
What a wonderful coincidence! Meant to be!
Your home is gorgeous, as usual! I am getting so much inspiration for my own home. Thank you!!!
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!
Your home is so beautiful I got inspired the reef with the fresh fruit on it. What a neat idea and then at the end of the season, you can give it to the outdoor animals. All the fruit.😻💕
This particular one is fake fruit BECAUSE in the past I used real and it didn't last as long as I wanted.
Today is New Year's day, Christmas has passed all the gifts and meals over . Unfortunately I have COVID and find myself still watching Holiday decorating video's. What are we all going to do now that it's over ??? I'm really going to miss all the decorations and joyous occasions! Kind of funny I started off the season not really into it this year but once I put up the tree that old magic came back and I was IN all the way! Thank you Linda for all your wonderful videos!
Ugh my daughter has Covid too now. Hope you feel better soon!
Few days ago after watching your short video, "Josie" popped up on my TH-cam feed. Guess YT thinks she a kindred spirit, too! I really enjoy how you are decorating rooms for Christmas, always with a fine tuned ear listening to the British/Early American calling of Sugarwood. Kudos to Willow for offering gifts and not taking the fox!
Thank you Patricia!
Beautiful, Linda - your home is not only elegant it also so warm, cozy and inviting. I wish you and you husband and your entire family a wonderful and blessed Christmas 🎄.
Thank you so much! Merry Christmas!
Aww such a sweet Willow baby to give fox her toys. So precious. Dogs are just the best ❤
Good afternoon Linda! Love, love, love the Christmas tour of your dining room and tavern! Now, I don’t say this lightly but, your Christmas decor and style fills my heart with joy! Everything is so beautiful, unique and magical! Replicating the copper birds is such a great idea and glow on the tree! How sweet of Willow to share her toys with the fox! I just love Willow!! Thank you for sharing! 🎄💕
Thank you so much Kathy! Your words mean a lot to me.
STUNNING DISPLAY FOR THE HOLIDAY! 🌲 🌲 🌲
Behind on the watch...always lovely, beautiful and gorgeously cozy inside and out Linda. Sweet Willow. Love Sugarwood❤
So beautiful, the crystal tree, that garland, the oranges. Can just imagine the beautiful aroma. Give yourself a pat on the back you deserve it!
Thank you, I will! LOL and yes, the house smells so good!
Love the copper quail ornaments. So charming and unique. Willow is a sweetheart. Nice to see the fruit wreath again, it's my favorite.
Thank you so much!
Your home is absolutely beautiful! I love all the Xmas decor, so classy and tastefully done! Willow is adorable, sharing toys! ❤
Thank you! I am finally figuring out what this home likes vs what we brought with us.
As usual you have outdone your self in decorating your beautiful home. So cozy and inviting. Love Willows little act of kindness.
Great idea.
So relaxing 😊
So warm and cozy! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Linda, I always really enjoy the background music you choose for your vlogs ❤️👍🏻❤️. The tavern decor is my favorite.
Thank you so much!
Delightful decor! Thanks for sharing!
This video!❤ So helpful in gathering ideas I am able to adapt for my little home. Thank you & as always, the music was wonderful. It was nice seeing you sitting in a room watching something & wrapping. It felt cozy, & showing the precious gifting to Mr. Fox from your pup dog was a day-brightener for sure.
Dear Linda, Thank you for making CHRISTMAS MERRY AND BRIGHT !
You are so welcome! Thank you for visiting!
Beautiful all the way!🎄
Inspiring and beautiful, Linda. I especially love the traditional English look of the tavern room. It really turned out wonderful.
Thank you for sharing. ❤
Thank you so much!
If only I could rent one room as a bed and breakfast guest for a long weelend!!!!! This video is absolutely breathtaking! Thank you Linda, Ben,and willow for sharing your beautiful home and have a wonderful Christmas ssason.
I already told Ben IFFFF we ever HAD to move, I would want to keep Sugarwood as a house rental.
Loved seeing how Willow welcomed the Fox! Speaking of Willow I have not seen her lately. Need more Willow!
Remembering the tours you shared with your viewing audience of all the places that you have visited over the past few months that your inspiration for this yrs festive decorations comes from .. Such magnificent grandeur ! Well worth all your hard work putting it all together .. A far cry from the other house in Groton ..So thank you for sharing . Love from Bonnie Scotland..
Thank you so much! I know many thought we were crazy to leave the other house. We loved it for sure, but this one is so different.
@@newenglandfineliving Living in a early 70s two bedroom brick end terracle rental property and finding it quite challenging to incorporate some Colonial style decor jis a challenge and Looks totally out of place thereffor still in search of finding my forever home .
Beautiful!!!❤❤
You, your home, and your decorations are amazing! I always look forward to your videos. Thank you so much for all the inspiration!
Thank you for visiting with me today!
The Kitchen tree came out perfect.

Beautiful Linda😍. The love you put into your home is over the top wonderful. I’ve been very inspired by your videos and hope there are many more to come in the next year❤️
I have much to do still here in the house and even more outside!
✨Your home is looking so festive and inviting! 🌲🌾🍊
Absolutely gorgeous 🎄
Thank you! 😊
Linda, not sure it happened this way but a few months ago when I discovered you, I told Josie about you, because she said she wanted to come to New England. it was back in early fall I believe. I said you both lived in gorgeous period homes and that you were a true expert designer and I loved watching you. She mentioned you after that and you mentioned her today. I love her Vlogs as I love yours. Your home looks beyond beautiful! Thank you so much for the extra Christmas Vlogs!! Janet
Hi, wow! I know that episode and I reached out to her when she said that. She got back to me seconds later and we chatted a little. She said she was literally watching my channel when the message came in. Maybe it was your comment! I do like to just sit and join her on her day when I can.
♥@@newenglandfineliving I also told my friends all about you and Josie:) I even shared your vlogs on my Facebook page. We all religiously watch. A few of us are true kindred spirits and absolutely love our New England roots and of course we love England as well. Linda, have you and Ben been to England? My last trip we did take a private tour of the Cotswold's and we are hoping to go back for a few weeks. We will see. Thank you so much for responding. It is very lovely of you to do so!! Janet
So tasteful. So lovely.
Lovely ideas, the trees are magical!
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.❤️
Thanks for watching!
Another nice surprise. Your home is just beautiful. Iove all your ideas

Oh my Linda you out did yourself in front of outside this year. Absolutely amazing 🎄🎄🎄🎄💕👍✌🏻
Thank you! I think it might be the plan for future years as long as I can keep finding the greens for under the windows (unless of course I make them).
Awww...sweet Willow 🐕🐾💞 The wreath is just gorgeous with all the colorful fruit!
Linda, it is ALL so very beautiful and elegant with the very true NE tradition feel!
