I think it's so sweet that you did the colored lights for your kids, even though we all know that doesn't really fit with the more neutral design aesthetic that you prefer. Such a pretty holiday home!
You worked so incredibly hard painting & renovating the exterior of your home, so I'm so glad that you got to dress it up in the classic, yet traditional greenery-with-red-touches that give a sweet nod to Christmas. But it's so sweet that you braved those heights to make sure your kids' colored lights, that scream Christmas, were up, too! Your home is a lady during the day and a party chick at night 😄😜
Our house is decorated the same way! In the daytime, you see my pretty wreaths with the red bows hanging in the windows. Christmas garland in my window sills that have red and green sparkly ornaments and red holly berries. This is my first year doing this and I love it! At night, with the way our house is shaped, the colored lights make it look like a gingerbread house! Best of both worlds! 🙂 Bless your heart for getting on that high ladder! No way could I do that! I think your house looks perfect! Everyone got what they wanted!
It looks so pretty! I can’t believe going that high on the ladder doesn’t scare you. No traditions really for us. Shoot half the time we never have anything to open on Christmas because we can never wait. We keep outside lights on the house year round. (They are green and orange Halloween colors) live in a rural area, no street lights. My neighbors through the woods have their deck wrapped in Christmas lights year round and it’s so comforting.
I am like your kids....I love colored lights too! Great job on the wreaths. I am afraid of heights also. Good job climbing the ladder! Have a great day!
So pretty. You are an amazing gal! Everything is so pretty! Love it. Gotta hand it to you, I could never do those heights and then I remember that you painted this house!!!! You are the best! And.... a sweet Mama too! Giving those kiddos the colored lights!
I’m a traditional classic style too. The dark green wreaths with the red velvet bows are my favorite. I’m glad you went ahead and did the color light for the kids though. They won’t be kids forever. The house looks beautiful! I’ve been binge watching for a week and this morning am watching to help bolster my courage to go put up a glass shower door on my tiled bathtub. I got a hacksaw and masonry drill bits and have watched a dozen videos of how to do it. Now all that’s left is for me to just go do it. I’m a little scared to drill into tile but here goes nothing!
So pretty! Love the traditional decor. I love that you did the colored lights for your kids. From this to doing your kids room and that front room for them--you seem like suchhhh a wonderful mom. You are such a role model to me. Thanks for continuing to inspire me to do things myself!!
Such a pretty home. I admire all the work and love that went into it. You are a great person. Please be careful and consider someone being with you when doing high ladder projects. My friend lost her husband this way. Please be safe. You are a joy 😊.
You are one brave and amazing lady. How do you know to do all the home repair... and it looks professional. I'm fairly new to your channel and learning a lot from your designs... I have a 70+ old home which one wall is all used brick with fireplace, I'm glad you mentioned the Brick Clips, I need to order them, what a great invention (why didn't I think of that). Thank you for sharing and enjoy your channel
Great video. I have those brick wreath holders and use them all the time. If it gets real windy sometimes the wreath falls but other than that I love them. God bless you for climbing. 🙏♥️
I absolutely love the classic look and the colored lights. I have commented this before but I guess you weren't able to catch it. I caught in one of your videos that you live in Texas. I was born and raised in Texas and still do. I love your channel. I'm just in awe of how much you do.
Everything looks beautiful! You did a great job. I could definitely never get on a ladder that high. I’m scared of heights to! You did amazing! Happy Holidays. 😊🎄🎁
So Beautiful! But I believe everyone should hire a professional to do those heights! I used to work in ER at hospital and so so many ladder accidents. Safety first please! ❤
So, i like to do things myself too, but also afraid of heights. Too expensive to pay someone. I just have no idea how to hang lights from my roof. Did you watch a video that showed you how? If so, could you mention it please.
I just used little clips that slip right under your shingles on your roof. Like this- www.amazon.com/SEWANTA-All-Purpose-Light-Clips-Holder/dp/B07Y2DWFHM/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?adgrpid=85836845748&gclid=Cj0KCQiAm5ycBhCXARIsAPldzoXOEmoaY1O75FSuYBjdqsa7ZATJ8jTtMYdxnp697C3Rl_nTvEO6tw4aAi0iEALw_wcB&hvadid=409954324738&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=9028008&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=3582824763959178655&hvtargid=kwd-376773647669&hydadcr=15037_11419559&keywords=shingle+tab+christmas+light+clip&qid=1669841986&sr=8-5
@@KelseyRomitoDIY I’ve watched every single video except 1/2 of one. It was on that one along with pressure washing the fence and the cleanup of the grill.
Girl, this looks great! But know that it's ok to put exterior decor on your hubby's "to do" list since it's so much climbing, etc. Nobody will look down on you!
No way would I put lights that high. One fall can forever change a life. Years ago a former coworker told me she was installing lights on her second story roof edge. I advised her to have a strong adult stabilize the base of the ladder at all times. She dismissed my input. I am also independent but this situation was not threatening anyone's independence. Sadly the ladder was on a wet surface and it started to slide. She had no Plan B options. She shattered a hip and shoulder. When her head hit she also suffered an extreme brain bleed. (All brain bleeds are serious but hers was diagnosed 'extreme'.) She never again walked or spoke words, she made sounds. She survived almost 2yrs. We were later informed she wasn't aware she was pregnant. They had been trying for over 8yrs. Be careful. At 72 I have to choose my battles. My usual stubbornness could be my downfall. I do not view that decision as a weakness, for me it's more of a survival tactic.
I realize your activities have already passed. But what the heck! You’re still on that ladder? 😮. Still no body holding the ladder for you? No tether? I admire you but you need to not do that. I know of three people who have died falling off ladders while installing Christmas lights. Not to mention falling and seriously injuring themselves while painting. Where is your husband or a friend? Ask any firefighter about climbing tall ladders. They would not recommend what you are doing. You are certainly awesome and are doing a great job managing all of your projects. You are very inspiring ,and your work ethic and skills are admirable. But please use a lot more caution when using ladders to reach those heights. You are too precious to be injured. Wishing you well. 😊

Thank you! I would have picked white lights but the colored ones are fun too!
I love the traditional look with the wreaths. You are a brave soul, I too am afraid of heights. Great job!! Merry Christmas!
Thank you! Merry Christmas!
Girl you are KA-RAY-ZEE!!!!!! I was scared for you. Good job!!!!! 👍

🤣🤣🤣 I had that exact same thought!
Some black shutters for your big front windows would look great

You are so brave on that latter. I would have died a couple of times 😂😂😂, but I love how it turned out.
It looks so beautiful. You make it look easy. No one would know you are afraid of heights! You are amazing! You rock, Kelsey!
Thanks so much!
It's looking so lovely. You are so brave to climb that ladder, I will never be able to go that high. Third step is my limit. 🤣
🤣🤣 it’s not my favorite thing to do!

Would love to have permanent light outside! Maybe one day!
Everything looks great. I too am afraid of heights but standing on the roof would not concern me… that ladder though, NO way!
I’m the exact opposite. I feel totally comfortable on the ladder but the roof makes me feel so unstable.
I am like your kids....I love colored lights too! Great job on the wreaths. I am afraid of heights also. Good job climbing the ladder! Have a great day!
So pretty. You are an amazing gal! Everything is so pretty! Love it. Gotta hand it to you, I could never do those heights and then I remember that you painted this house!!!! You are the best! And.... a sweet Mama too! Giving those kiddos the colored lights!
🤣🤣 that’s what I told myself- I painted this entire house so I should be able to hang these lights!
You were so brave climbing up on the roof! It was worth it everything looks great.
Thank you!
The whole house looks amazing!! I think my absolute favorite though is the wreaths on the windows! Such a classic look! Love it!

@@KelseyRomitoDIY I got it installed with no problems. Took my time drilling into the tile. Yay me! I feel so accomplished!

Good job I would take the double lights and put a row up in the garden along the bricks looks nice
That’s a great idea!
You are so brave. Love it.

Looks wonderful!
Hermoso todo. Felicidades. Te saludo desde Panamá.
Beautiful!!
How stinking beautiful Kelsey. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 to you and yours.
Merr Christmas!
I’m not scared of heights but you wouldn’t have gotten me up that ladder.😊
OMG, I'm having heart palpitations just watching you! You're nuts...in a good way! 😁
🤣🤣
Look very nice. You always do a wonderful job. Happy Holidays...hope they were great.
Thanks so much!
It looks beautiful I’m sure your kids are going to enjoy it…💗💗💗
Loved every second of watching you decorate! Our Christmas tradition every year is to do a homemade decoration of some kind and decorate cookies! ❤
Love this! My kids would love to decorate cookies- we will have to do that this year.
Love your ambition and overcoming your fears all in the name of decor. Looks fantastic
Another awesome video!! Beautiful home!! Feels like Christmas 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Wow super💯👍👍👍🌲
I like the white paint on your house, do you remember the name of the white paint color?
It’s lime washed but behr polar bear is a great match

They still have the solar screens on them. I just added white electrical tape to make “grids” in a video a few months back.
