Sorry if I already posted on here, but THANK YOU for showing actual real decor ideas that are not like "Oh just go to the store and buy the whole aisle and go massively into debt and you're done!!" Also I love that you re-used stuff from last year, and have like.. real person tips from the before times when people did not just go buy the whole aisle at Home Goods and decorate their entire house and then video it. Also your editing is so good now, and I also really love that you and Becky keep your own personalities in your videos and everything is not all the same. You guys really do have a very individual point of view to each of your videos, but it all works cohesively together and it's just really nice to see.
I have found that the best way to get candle wax out of the bottom of the jar is to freeze it! The wax contracts, and you can just pop it out with a butter knife!
On taking the painting down: every Christmas I pack up most of my decor and replace it with all my (mostly secondhand) Christmas decor. Then after Christmas I put it all back out, and it gives me an opportunity to re-assess the stuff that I have and decide whether I want to keep it or give it away.
The painting- My step-mom always wrapped her pictures in the living room and put them right back where they belonged. No having to find homes for paintings & all it took was wrapping paper & ribbon.
I do love seeing what people do with non-functioning fireplaces, they're actually a really versatile decorating piece (not just for christmas, coziness is for the whole year) 😊
What on earth are these comments asking for videos more regularly? They post at least 2 videos a week plus shorts and that takes an entire team of people to produce content at this rate, not to mention the vlog channel and their blog and other socials. Calm down.
I think people were asking for more videos specifically from Kelsey. They alternate videos between sorry girls so the last time Kelsey posted a video was 3 weeks ago.
Yes, it is a hustle, but at the same time maybe people aren’t always doing it for hate, I want to believe that there’s a lot of love for the content behind that, snd maybe they aren’t really aware of the workload. But yes, the content is high quality and consistent, they’re working hard, so I don’t see the point nor the necessity of putting pressure on them.
I made the napkin rings last year now I’m sitting here making a tree stand and bottle brush branch. So I’m now I’m planning a trip to the florist tomorrow thank you girls x
Kelsey, I totally loved this video ! Yes, you are encouraging younger people to breakaway from having to buy everything new and follow what stores dictate. Using ideas from many sources and coming up with creative and waaaaay less pricey personalized decor is awesome.
The mountain hemlock isn’t poisonous. Hemlock tree species are called hemlock because they have a similar smell to the poisonous plant (which is a small plant with white flowers) but they aren’t related and are not poisonous So you can put them in your arrangement! 😊
Thank you so much for this video Kelsey! I love the natural greenery for the home. I used to move around a lot because my husband was in the military, so we had to learn which items were most important to move with us. Having holiday staples made our home so much more cozy than mass produced Christmas-everywhere.
Magnolia leaves are in holiday decor because in the part of the US where I live they’re one of the few evergreen plants we have. It’s basically pine (white, yellow, or loblolly), Eastern red cedar, or magnolia. Those are your choices. As a kid we bought our Christmas tree from a local farm and since you can’t grow firs or spruces here, it was a white pine.
So cute and cozy! I like the freezer method for my wax upcycling. It shrinks it into a hard puck you can easily pop out of the jar after running a butter knife around the edge.
just a heads up about battery powered lights: most of them are safe for indoor use only, so be sure to get some that are meant for outdoors if using there.
I am so thrilled to see you make those changes with your fireplace, and what I learned from you about your fuel choice and the connection between Amazon and Facebook marketplace. Absolutely love the message you shared in this video and the examples you gave us to inspire us. It’s more of a family project. This way you save money and your repurposing. I love it……what’s not to love, right😍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Christmas🎄
Totally agree on taking the art down on the fireplace and replacing it with a wreath! Especially if you aren’t doing a tree. I do the same thing and you’re right, it makes the art “new” when you put it back up
I abhor traditional xmas decor! so this video speaks to me especially with the reuse aspect as well. This was sophisticated and lovely. I especially love the centerpiece. Happy holidays.
This video kicked my a**. The centerpiece, and the inspo, were stunning! The green and red pasta, poached pears, easy diy holiday chargers… all of it was 👌🏻 It doesn’t get more simple and cost effective than these easy crafts and tips. 🎄
In regards to the leftover candle wax, my favorite method is putting them in the freezer for a few hours. Then I take a butter knife and just spilt the wax into chunks. It is so easy! I reuse or recycle the container and can melt the wax down again.
Love all your projects, everything is beautiful. A few years ago I started reusing my candles by placing them in my crock pot on low. No mess way to melt the old wax, and to add fresh beeswax to cute candle containers to create new candles.
Some (not all) varieties of Magnolias are evergreen, so they stay vibrantly green all winter long. The tradition of bringing in evergreen branches (and trees) in to the home to invite life and vibrancy into your home, especially in the chill midwinter when so much life is unseen or "gone", is a very old Christmas tradition, borrowed from Pagan and other pre-Christian midwinter traditions.
Love how simple Elliot is, Thats what Christmas is to me as well. Kelsey does that put out any heat. I actually got rid of my gas cuz im getting old but i do have the fake logs still in there. Just would be nice if heat came out of the ethonol deal.
Ooh! I spent all day working on 'christmas' at work to get home and see you're inspiring video... can't wait til Dec 1st, that when i'll get cracking on my decs at home. Can't wait!🌲🌲
This is beautiful and really turned out!!! The vision was for sure there. I cannot not have a tree up, it delights me, as a matter of fact I have several ceramic trees and mini trees all decorated and making my home just shine. ❤️
Don‘t know what it was about this video but I loved it so much! Made me smile the whole way through :) Also, very relatable pear question at the end haha
Beautiful- all of it. Save the magnolia wreath, and spray paint it with shiny shiny spray paint-red,gold, white-I love apple green- about 1000 coats. You’ll get years more use if you store it carefully.
On 17:08 green leaves is ruscus. Cuted it can live in vase literally for years, just don't forget to add water and from time to time clean it from dust by gentle washing under room temp.shower.
Kelsey, we have seven different sleds from those typical wooden baby sleds to toboggans out front as decoration which we have secured in place with wires or chains and then embellished with big red bows and greenery. And because our evergreen tree has become too tall to string with lights we shine spotlights on the sleds. We've rarely had to buy them as we already owned them or they were found. Our decorations are unique in our neighbourhood. I really like your table centerpiece!
I have a bioethanol firepit in my backyard because while I love wood-burning firepits, I don’t love releasing more junk into the atmosphere. Love the fireplace hack!!
I bought a candle warmer aka cup warmer for work since I can't light candles...it works amazingly! And the one I bought has heat setting and a timer. I Would totally recommend!
@@MaeMercadoHaving worked at Amazon for 6 hellish months, I REALLY try to never buy from them. But, they ARE the 900 lb Gorilla in the room. Often, the only way to buy certain things is through them. I REALLY hope they Unionize !
Thank you. I am so inspired now to do an arrangement for my dining room table. I do wish your stockings were a different color they kind of got lost being a beige against a beige😮. Your dining table looks so beautiful. Thanks for all the inspiration for holiday decorating. Simple but elegant. Happy holidays.
an awesome low space christmas hack- if you have art that isn't super christmassy, just wrap it like a gift in some pretty christmas paper and put it back on the wall! My mom always used to do this, and you can just recycle or reuse the paper and ribbons next year.
My husband and I like to buy holiday themed prints that fit in the frames we keep up year round. We just swap out the print that’s in the front throughout the year, depending on the season. It really DOES make you appreciate your art more when it isn’t up all the time.
Luv Love your holiday video. The place looks great, fruits, candles, and food even smells good from here, and I want a bite of that meal 😋 Oh, kudos on the fireplace!!!
Fantastic video in every way!!! Lovely realistic and classy decor DIYs, and even a terrific meatless recipe/meal idea. I enjoyed every little bit of this and you really hit it out of the park!
Loved this. Moved into very small apartment, perfect timing. Our towns brush site has free greens and sometimes red berries, etc. Check out your local one, hours and days they are open maybe limited. Where residents dump their bush trimmings. Got a nice variety last few years. Also may find some branches or logs for craft supplies or fire pit. Last year I melted some crayons with old wax to dip pinecones in for fire-starters to give as gifts. I thrifted some cookie tims and repainted them and added some long matches. TFS
I enjoyed seeing a more minimalist Christmas decor. I would also LOVE to see a maximalist Christmas decorating video. Maybe someone at the office goes hard on Christmas with lots of decorations.
Cześć :) Dzisiaj po polsku, bo w końcu piszę z końca świata ;) Chciałam napisać jak bardzo lubię to co robisz! Ty i cały Wasz team. Fantastycznie jest obserwować Wasz rozwój przez wiele lat i to jak mądrze prowadzicie kanał. Pozdrawiam
lol I related to Eliot’s list. Exactly the same as mine, but I must admit I need a tree….even a smaller tabletop one. So many ornaments I’ve collected over the years 🌲 This is my favorite video of yours (lol along with that tiny 60s-70s apartment you built on the side of the road !)
HGTV just did a cardboard tree ! A fair amount of work, but it does "fold flat" for storage! I tend to not have a tree - I normally have a cat or two to destroy one ! Sadly, I am cat-free at the momemt. I DO tend to splurge on a nice real wreath - local church sells nice healthy ones cheaper & I add a few things. Adds a lovely scent without too much clean up from dried needles !
Can we also get a video on storage suggestions for Christmas decorations? I have fragile ornaments but limited space and could really use some suggestions for keeping them safe 🙏
Cookie tins. You store ornaments all year and fill the tin with actual cookies over the holidays when the ornaments are on the trees! And you can wrap them in holiday pillow cases, fabric napkins etc. Great for fragile things, plus you have the napkins etc on hand for festive season!
That’s the kind of Holiday decor I really like- making everything cozy & using the natural world to put festive touches around the house. I mostly don’t care for everything being all good & glittery. Although I do like a tree decorated with whimsical ornaments. But I don’t want to invest in that. I just visit my sister’s house to see that.
I think you're thinking of Poison Hemlock or conium maculatum. It looks completely different and sort of looks like what is sometimes called Queen Anne's Lace. The one that's a tree, called Eastern Hemlock which you have there, was actually used to make tea from its needles so it's likely fine to put near food 🙂
Magnolias are included with Pines & Firs at Xmas because they can/are Evergreen trees.😊 Tsuga is a genus of conifers in the pine family Pinaceae. The common name " hemlock" is derived from a perceived similarity in the smell of its crushed foliage to that of the unrelated plant poison hemlock. Unlike the latter, Tsuga species are not poisonous. This is a completely different species of plant to poisonous hemlock which is Poison hemlock (Conium maculatum). Not a pine or fir.
I also took down my living room art during the holidays last year because it was too summery 😆 and it’s true, I appreciated it so much more after bringing it back out later on
Not sure is someone already answered, but most Magnolia trees are deciduous (aka evergreen). Not sure how prevalent Magnolias are in Canada, but in the Southern US, this makes their leaves a great, and if you have a tree, cheap greenery to use for the holidays. I am also so glad to hear someone else who tends to not want to put up a tree. ❤
For melting the last little bit out of my “end of life” candles, I put a little water on the stove to boil and then place the candle jar in the water. It works super well!
The addition to the fireplace is absolutely gorgeous and amazing 😍. Everything is fantastic. I got so much joy from the whole video. 🎉 Note: Each time I watch a Sorry girls video, I think, "She's my favorite one.". 😂
Magnolias and hollies (another holiday perennial) are both broadleaf evergreens. A nice textural change from needled evergreens, and not as heavily scented. I remember seeing articles in popular women's magazines advising avoiding traditional evergreens on the table, so as not to interfere with the scent of the food. A fresh cedar wreath being warmed by candles would definitely interfere with the smell of buttery rolls.
Don't see why. We can often smell Christmas tree in small spaces from the dining table. Adds to the festive atmosphere. Gin is made from juniper berries.
Sorry if I already posted on here, but THANK YOU for showing actual real decor ideas that are not like "Oh just go to the store and buy the whole aisle and go massively into debt and you're done!!"

This feels like a more chill version of 'that costs how much'. I love it
I have found that the best way to get candle wax out of the bottom of the jar is to freeze it! The wax contracts, and you can just pop it out with a butter knife!
I'm giving this a try! xx
I literally came here to make this same comment. Waaaaay easier!
This is the best way!!
I don’t know why I didn’t think of this! I do this to get candle melts out of wax warmers
Was looking for this comment... it really is the best way to get wax out.
On taking the painting down: every Christmas I pack up most of my decor and replace it with all my (mostly secondhand) Christmas decor. Then after Christmas I put it all back out, and it gives me an opportunity to re-assess the stuff that I have and decide whether I want to keep it or give it away.
I love this method of not only adding, but also replacing a lot.
The painting-
My step-mom always wrapped her pictures in the living room and put them right back where they belonged. No having to find homes for paintings & all it took was wrapping paper & ribbon.
I thoroughly enjoy Elliott's christmas list, so practical but still festive and i feel it complements Kelsey's style well
“Big plates under regular dinner plates” Elliot is such a vibe
Men are so funny
As a former floral designer, the idea to make a floral frog from the bowl was genius! I need to make myself one now.
I do love seeing what people do with non-functioning fireplaces, they're actually a really versatile decorating piece (not just for christmas, coziness is for the whole year) 😊
Ours is where our cats' food and water dispensers are. Very handy and any mess stays there :) .

I have a nonworking fireplace, and it has been an EYESORE. I'm so thrilled already with this!
The mountain hemlock isn’t poisonous. Hemlock tree species are called hemlock because they have a similar smell to the poisonous plant (which is a small plant with white flowers) but they aren’t related and are not poisonous
So you can put them in your arrangement! 😊
Yep!
I was gonna say it if someone else didn't!
Hemlock is the poison Socrates had to drink, so ... I get why they're wary hahaha
It depends on which kind she had

I used to move around a lot because my husband was in the military, so we had to learn which items were most important to move with us. Having holiday staples made our home so much more cozy than mass produced Christmas-everywhere.
YES !!!!! LESS clutter, move cozy ! ❤
Magnolias are actually an evergreen like the rest of the Christmas greenery trees!
I was about to comment the same thing. Holly and magnolia leaves are my favorite less common greenery to use for Christmas
Also the color on the back of the leaves fits with the fall esthetic
well, depends on what magnolia!
I was gonna say the same thank you.
Magnolia leaves are in holiday decor because in the part of the US where I live they’re one of the few evergreen plants we have. It’s basically pine (white, yellow, or loblolly), Eastern red cedar, or magnolia. Those are your choices. As a kid we bought our Christmas tree from a local farm and since you can’t grow firs or spruces here, it was a white pine.
I like to wrap a painting or two with festive or plain paper and add a big bow. Makes it super cute!
THIS IS GENIUS! I need something for my windows 👏🏻🎄
So cute and cozy! I like the freezer method for my wax upcycling. It shrinks it into a hard puck you can easily pop out of the jar after running a butter knife around the edge.
Oh the prayers have been answered and the painting is gone, like a breath of fresh air
So enjoyed your approach! Stream lined traditional elements into a modern esthetic, that is absolutely lovely!
just a heads up about battery powered lights: most of them are safe for indoor use only, so be sure to get some that are meant for outdoors if using there.

She meant the marketplace, not Facebook marketplace. So Amazon watches trends in purchasing in the market as a whole and raises prices.

This video really helped put me in the Christmas spirit for decorating my home. I’m starting on Saturday. Thanks Kelsey!🎄❤️🎄
Love how simple Elliot is, Thats what Christmas is to me as well. Kelsey does that put out any heat. I actually got rid of my gas cuz im getting old but i do have the fake logs still in there. Just would be nice if heat came out of the ethonol deal.
I was thinking,girl you need to iron those ribbon and napkins,then I saw how much ya put into the dinner and thought,that’s ok🤣 Fireplace looks great!
The fireplace is so good. Having a hot drink and sit around the fireplace is a vibe
With my end of candles I melt them down and pour them into shaped ice cube moulds to use as wax melts 😊 x
Just bought a gingerbread man one at Kroger to do this. Saw where you can poke a hole in the still warm wax and insert a wick if desired.
Omg the fire!!!! Amazing! So comfy!
oh, Kelsey! it's beautiful!
A lovely, frugal holiday setting
Ooh! I spent all day working on 'christmas' at work to get home and see you're inspiring video... can't wait til Dec 1st, that when i'll get cracking on my decs at home. Can't wait!🌲🌲
This was FULL of LOVE and DIYS. I love it Kelsey!!
Cedar garlands last indoors for much longer than you think! I made one last year and it lasted at least 2 months. I was amazed
This is beautiful and really turned out!!! The vision was for sure there. I cannot not have a tree up, it delights me, as a matter of fact I have several ceramic trees and mini trees all decorated and making my home just shine. ❤️

Great idea with the faux leather! And I absolutely love the fireplace idea!!!!
By far the best design you have done to date in my opinion! 😻
I think the thing I like most about this video was that you asked Elliot what he likes about the Holidays. ❤️
Love all of this but can we talk about how the quality of these just get better AND BETTER? I love y’all
I love to hear realistic tips how to keep alive greenery for Christmas (month of December)
Beautiful- all of it. Save the magnolia wreath, and spray paint it with shiny shiny spray paint-red,gold, white-I love apple green- about 1000 coats. You’ll get years more use if you store it carefully.

An excellent video reminding us all that keeping it simple leaves us time to spend with our loved ones 🥰

Don't see why. We can often smell Christmas tree in small spaces from the dining table. Adds to the festive atmosphere. Gin is made from juniper berries.
@@serenakoleno9338 I agree. I ignored that bit of advice - but thought it was interesting that some people feel that way.
