Putting the tree back on the left side of the fireplace makes sense. The tree near your bedroom obstructs the doorway and flow in/out. Love your take on traditional green decor-each element is a statement. And the wreath is magnificent 🎄
I LOVE JACK! What an adorable couple. I loved every moment of him patiently going from ceiling to floor to get it right. The shot is his legs sticking out from under the tree is priceless -even more so with shorts on! Love everything. The new black spindles are gorgeous. All your hard work pays off. 🎄🎄🎄
I heard on the news last night (11/8) that this time of year brings out depression in many people. All they have to do is watch your channel every morning and they’ll feel happier all day. Thank you, Valentina, for you and your happy vibe and informative channel. ❤😊
You 100% nailed the modern/ natural/ wintery / elegant look. I feel sorry for Jack that we even suggested to try the Christmas tree on the overside as he had to crawl the entire room with it. In fact, the left side of your fireplace was looking too empty. So it makes sense to keep it there. Even though I think that two Christmas trees would be a great styling, it finally has to suit your traditions and family’s way of living and enjoying those precious moments. Your video was a blast to watch and thank you for sharing. PS : I haven’t realized how humongous your wreath was.
Awesome! I put my tree on something like a planter stand on castors so it can be rotated to decorate the back and moved. MIne’s handmade with ply and the stand is screwed onto it. With your stand I’d attach some wide chair leg rubber protectors to the stand and put the legs in them. If you don’t know where you want the tree, take a few photos of where you think you want it before getting decorations out and photoshop in last year’s tree into the pics or use room design software. I’ve been rewatching your ‘22 tree decorating video all year and based this year’s tree on it with the brown ornaments down to mercury glass ones with a touch of muted turquoise instead of gold and added pine cones and icicles. I used 3 types of fern fronds to fill out my slim tree and it’s fabulous. The lighter fronds make it look like there’s fresh growth on my faux tree. Thanks for the inspiration. ❤ Merry Christmas!
Your jolly laughter proves it truly only takes one person's sparkle to get some holiday spirit rollin'! I LOVE how you worked together and made something so beautiful for so many people to enjoy!
I was one that said to move the tree, however, after you moved it a 100% agree that where you have it at the end is the best spot!! Kudos to Jack for having always a great attitude! The room looks perfect!!!
I love the black and white of your room. The greenery is just the perfect decor type theme to add to the room and I love it. My goal this year is to set up the biggest white tree we have. My husband thinks it is too big but I'm making the rules this year. We've installed our smaller, narrower white Christmas tree for the past several years. I want my full, tall tree back! Oh, and I do not want to spend any money on decor... I need to make a no-buy rule too! At 62, and as empty nesters, we don't need more decor so I'm repurposing what we have.
I’m 74 and just told my husband today that I need to purge Christmas decor. I used to do six trees. Every room was decorated. I just get exhausted pulling out all the boxes. I’ve told myself to reduce it by 1/3rd this year and another 1/3rd next year. I’d love to do just greenery like Valentina but not sure I can make myself do it that minimal.
I understand about purging. I have kept my Christmas stuff to two shelves in my basement for years. The last two years I have done minor purging. My children will likely want very little of my decor. I will enjoy my stuff hopefully for many more years. Yes, just getting out the decor is exhausting, which is why I only start with one tree, fluff and let it sit for a week. Then out come the garland and ornaments. Another weekend sees wreaths and a few other things out. Pacing is a good thing. However, afterwards is a whirlwind of putting everything away as I'm usually done with all but the non Christmas greenery. We do the same thing at work and leave the winter village and "snowy" items up through January.
@@createwithconfidence8094 I have 75 boxes. 6 are just for lights. We downsized house 17 years ago and new houses don’t have the storage. I miss my basement and attic. All my Christmas is stored under my house. I have about 5’ in height so I’m bent over as I move boxes around and up out from the belly of the house. I’m very fit and feel 35 until I’ve spent a day under the house. In bed now with my heating pad. Start again tomorrow.
WOW! That is a lot of material. My mom had all her stuff below the house and that was a chore getting her things out after she passed. I will never downsize, mainly because our house still feels the right size. Also, I have a private back yard and a view of the mountains of Colorado so I'm staying until they cart me out. I've always wanted to finish my basement but it makes a great workout room for my husband and great storage too.
Oh my, how is it possible Jack having so much patience with your decorating ideas and people's suggestions?! I always feel bad making my husband set up the tree (a real one and take it down). That's all he needs to do in our house.
You two are so adorable. Also, hearing you get hyped up for decorating made me so happy. I share your excitement and now I’m even more anxious to get started. Love the staircase and am looking at a 2nd tree as well! 😬😂
I use multiple trees in my home every year! Love to encourage this, as long as the placement is well thought out, it’s incredibly magical!! Everything you do is stunning!! Love watching you and your husband work together, adorable and entertaining!!❤
Loved seeing the BTS work you put in to make Holiday decorating decisions. Also, the tree on the left side of the fireplace is a huge YES! Looked out of balance in front of the window, so I get why you chose to land there. Stunning theme this year!
I am in love with your Christmas design! The greenery is exquisite! The placement of everything is perfect. I love one big tree as the focal point by the fireplace, it literally draws your attention to one point and doesn’t confuse the eye! I also love love the new black paint on spindles and the white wall under stairs! Wow! How that all just pops! I love your key to making it all work…take your time, just have fun with it, patience to move things around. There is a beautiful thing that happens which is making your dream come true with messes, laughter and experimenting.
I have never seen a person so excited about Christmas as you ..except myself! Super inspiring video as usual! I wait 364 days for this Holiday and your video made me decorate immediately at 8 pm
I’m glad you decided to put ornaments on the wreath. Looks great. Putting the tree back was the right choice. People just get hung up thinking the tree must be shown through the window. It doesn’t if it doesn’t make sense to do it. Love the minimal look too!
I bought the McAlpine book after watching your recommendation. And I LOVE it so much!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤ every single page looks so delicious as you said. Thank you Valentina!! You have no idea how much you improved my life and our house. You are the best!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤👍👍👍
Your living room looks beautiful! I can’t get enough of those spheres!! They look amazing anywhere you put them in different sizes and colors. I also love all the greenery and how modern and minimalist it looks without so many ornaments. Very luxurious and classy look.
I think 2 trees is 1 too many. definitely. The one next to the fireplace is perfect! I think I'll start with decorating tomorrow. Our cat died 4 days ago 😭 and I need something to warm my ❤. Thank you for the inspiration!
Velcro zip ties are available on amazon. They also have an assortment of furniture slides to use when moving furniture over carpet or over wood (hard surfaces. The furniture slides are a life saver as well as protecting your floors. Love your room, you and Jack do amazing work. I ordered the command hooks for the mantel. I have used suction cups to hang wreaths on my windows for 28 years. Look forward to your videos.
I really love where you had the tree to begin with. You have a lot of singular elements, i.e. single wreath, single fireplace garland, sing stair case garland. I wish the tree was taller almost to second floor. Some other Christmas elements maybe dears or white bears beside living room window to fill the space and bring some more balance.
So so beautiful. Thanks for the giggles, Jack lying on the floor and with his legs sticking out the back of the tree 😁 I thought I'd landed in the Griswolds house for a moment 😂😂 x
It looks so beautiful, the green with the black and white is really gorgeous!! I love where you placed the tree, it is the best spot for balance, Well done you two!
I love where you ultimately put the tree. It was the natural spot my eyes were drawn to, but of course I am not in your family and it is most important how each of you feel about it. I certainly wouldn't mind a cozy mug of coffee by your beautiful fireplace and tree with you guys, though! You both are such fun!
Glad you moved the tree back to the left of the fireplace, even though it was a lot of work. The mantel is to die for and the whole room looks absolutely fabolous! You guys are the best! 😍👌🎉🎄💫🥰🫶💖
I hope you guys have a whole series on how you decorate each room before you provide us with a whole house tour. I watch this video like 3x already! I’m obsessed with this holiday!
I am so glad you all decided to place the tree on the left side and added lights to the wreath and the garland on the fire place. I am a huge advocate for lighting, so I think that you all should add lights to the greenery on the stairs and lights on the greenery over the glass bookcases as well. I also loved the idea of 2 trees, but they need to wither be the same or maybe consider doing a grouping of trees on the right side that is the same color of the tree on the left.
Whatever you decide I just KNOW it’ll be amazing because you NEVER disappoints! Your Christmas decoration videos are on of my must fav to look forward to every year. Even your personality always puts me j to that festive mood lol…I saw you put the wreath above the fireplace and I cannot help but think a round mirror would look amazing on regular days like a juxtaposition from the rectangle wall.
The place looks so fabulous! Love, love, love the mantle and all the greenery, it looks super festive and elegant. You and Jack are so fun to watch thank you for sharing your home with us 💕
As I was watching you & Jack hang the wreath I was growing increasingly anxious at what looked like something on fire in the room through your doorway! I really hope that was a faux fire on a TV 😂😂😂
What about 2 additional trees of varying heights plus maybe a big reindeer or other type of statue or lanterns in front of them to the left of the fireplace or by the windows?
I see what your rationale is about the tree being beside the window making it awkward unwrapping presents, and then the empty space by the fireplace. Although, let's just get Jack to move the Balsom Hill tree back to the window (sorry Jack😁), and then try the Amazon tree in addition by the fireplace. IMO, I love the Balsom Hill tree by the window, and then with the Amazon tree by the fireplace with all the presents might work well. I could be wrong. I could be right. Won't know until you try though.
Omg Valentine I just finished decorating not one tree but 4 tree with nature and touch of glam that flows to each room Oh yea a tree in our primary bedroom 🎉 I’m always inspired on all you do and how you love the spirit of Christmas as much as I do 😂❤🇨🇦🥂
I love the fact of two trees, I saw the difference in colour instantly. Like the one beside fireplace. Not by the window. Think if they aren’t directly across from each other, works best. Love I can see the fire on the tv in your office, or room with open door. Love the wreath. PS, the stairs love amazing!
I love the different trees! It's not like they're both flanking the fireplace. If they were on either side of the fireplace, I think they'd need to match, but in the opposite corners, it's beautiful! If I were a woodland creature, I would definitely want to hang out in that living room!😆
Simple yet Elegant, I’m so glad you put the Christmas tree back near the fireplace, it made that space look empty and having it front of the window seemed to block out your view to the winter wonderland that I’m sure will be coming your way, perfect choice to move it, everything looks beautiful so far V and Jack, I look forward to seeing a home tour once all rooms are finished. Happy Holidays from Australia 🇦🇺🧑🏻🎄🎅🏻🎄🎄
Love where the tree is. Putting cardboard down first works great so you can move the tree around until you get it where you want it. Also, love the idea of two trees.
You are a joy to watch. I love your videos. Your enthusiasm is fantastic. Can you do a video on how you stay so cheerful and positive. I think it will be so helpful to many people.
it looks fabulous! I'm sorry I originally voted to move it. In. my defense, I didn't have a full view of the room in your last video. Your energy at the beginning was contagious and when you kissed Jack, so sweet. I just love watching you two together. You are truly one of my favorites. Happy Holidays!
2 tress looks good if there is cemetery your tress are far away from each other just keep one unless you put the other tree on the ride side but you have a door there so your tree will be on your way !!
Yes, you are so right. The tree looked crowded. I voted for the change but I'm soooo glad you kept it by the fireplace. Valentina knows best! Pure magic!!!!
You and Your husband seem so happy being together . Keep up with the good work . Your home is beautiful no matter what , but you are adding magic , with the decorations. I think Valentina better start putting up her decorations August of each year . Gives you 4 months to decorate. I start my decorations in August - December of each year, because I have a lot of everything to do.
Your room looks beautiful. I do miss the shiny floor spheres. It's really the only time of the year you can use them and the little extra bit of shine would be amazing. I'm a huge fan of Terrain and their fairy, woodsy feel is what I believe your aiming for. At this point Id give the shiny spheres a try. Thank you for sharing all the decorating you do.
Honest opinion, the tree looks most appropriate by the fireplace. Unless the tree is directly in front of the window, or 2 trees flanking the window, it just seems like a random place to place a tree. Perhaps if it were a super slim tree, but even then I think it looks odd by the window. Love it near the fireplace. Everything looks beautiful as always.
V, you crack me up, I love it! What a nice ladder, Oh I forgot I’m talking about V.That gigantic wreath is breathtaking!! Your home will look marvelous for the holiday.. I love you moved the tree next to the fireplace, you know what to do V!!!! Blessings!!!
My ultimate favorite It sharp and chic like watching a fashion show I love it This is so inspirational I'm definitely doing my home exactly this way thank you
Don't know if i'm too late cause i'm still watching the video. I don't want to fast forward to see how it ends. My favorite was 2 of the same Amazon trees on either side of the fireplace. And I don't think you guys are crazy - I think it looks great. Stairs look great! Definitely lights in the mantle piece. And wreath. Love you guys! You git me thru Colon surgery. Lying in bed I found you on you tube. I'm 2 years post cancer stage 2, all good. Susan
Everything looks beautiful. The tree looks better on the left. Have you ever tried the Luminara flameless candles? They are great for decorating where you don't want to put real candles and they look realistic.
So beautiful. Actually I really like the tree now near the fireplace. I think the lights on the mantel and the wreath tie it all together. Absolutely adore your aesthetic Valentina and such a fun video as always. Xxx
Balsam tree next to fireplace is so much better! Not two trees. One dynamic tree is so much nicer! Still love The elegance of the mirror over the fireplace…wreath is dark on black wall. Reflection of the mirror adds so much! Love ur style!
It’s very pretty, but I was wondering why you wouldn’t change out your pillows, and perhaps the decor on your tables? Maybe it’s just me. But still it looks so pretty, and your excitement is contagious. 😊😁
Love the tree where it landed up! By the window is too visually cluttered with the muntins of the window, the doorway etc. and MOST OF ALL, your reasoning re: Christmas morning is the most compelling- it should be entirely about how it feels for the family to gather around it - it should be magical and will be!! I love the lights through the garland and wreath. I do lights through all of my garlands. Just adds cozy feel and highlights the greens etc when it’s far out. Love your final result ❤❤❤❤❤❤
It looks beautiful! If you want to put another Christmas tree by the window maybe a pencil tree would work. Thank you for all the great ideas! Happy Thanksgiving and many blessings!
Trees in the Forest are Different Colors so by the time you add picks and decorations it won't matter because they'll both be spruced up to the nines ...in My House I have all types and they are All enjoyed but then I Live in the Pacific Northwest ❤ and We have All types of Pines, Furs and spruces as well as Palms but thats why I LoVe it Here😮 Happy Holidays Guys Enjoy Your Winderful Home and Family Time ❤❤
I’d vote for a tree on each side of that beautiful window behind the sofa with same colour lights. Maybe a large deer or polar bear statue beside the fireplace? Something different!! The room will look lovely no matter what you do.
Putting the tree back on the left side of the fireplace makes sense. The tree near your bedroom obstructs the doorway and flow in/out. Love your take on traditional green decor-each element is a statement. And the wreath is magnificent 🎄
I would put the second tree nearer the entrance on the white wall
The wreath needs some colour
Looks fab well done 🎉
I LOVE JACK! What an adorable couple. I loved every moment of him patiently going from ceiling to floor to get it right. The shot is his legs sticking out from under the tree is priceless -even more so with shorts on! Love everything. The new black spindles are gorgeous. All your hard work pays off. 🎄🎄🎄
I heard on the news last night (11/8) that this time of year brings out depression in many people. All they have to do is watch your channel every morning and they’ll feel happier all day. Thank you, Valentina, for you and your happy vibe and informative channel. ❤😊
Jack deserves a big Christmas gift from Santa! He’s such a good sport with helping! 🎄

Beautiful! Glad you put the tree where you had it originally. Inspired to get my home in holiday mode!🎄
Timeless elegance! It's absolutely stunning, you did such a phenomenal job!
So happy the tree is back near the fireplace. Everything is so beautiful and perfect.
Awesome! I put my tree on something like a planter stand on castors so it can be rotated to decorate the back and moved. MIne’s handmade with ply and the stand is screwed onto it. With your stand I’d attach some wide chair leg rubber protectors to the stand and put the legs in them. If you don’t know where you want the tree, take a few photos of where you think you want it before getting decorations out and photoshop in last year’s tree into the pics or use room design software.
I’ve been rewatching your ‘22 tree decorating video all year and based this year’s tree on it with the brown ornaments down to mercury glass ones with a touch of muted turquoise instead of gold and added pine cones and icicles. I used 3 types of fern fronds to fill out my slim tree and it’s fabulous. The lighter fronds make it look like there’s fresh growth on my faux tree. Thanks for the inspiration. ❤ Merry Christmas!
Absolutely beautiful. Now I feel really bad for voting on moving the tree. It's perfect right there beside the fireplace. 🎄
Your jolly laughter proves it truly only takes one person's sparkle to get some holiday spirit rollin'! I LOVE how you worked together and made something so beautiful for so many people to enjoy!

I ADORE the chemistry between you guys❤ The perfect combination of chaos and fun!
Your decorations are absolutely gorgeous! If you’d like candles on the mantle, try flameless! 🕯️
You two are so funny together....such a breath of fresh air. Your living room sensational!!
Im glad you moved the tree back!
Oh my, how is it possible Jack having so much patience with your decorating ideas and people's suggestions?! I always feel bad making my husband set up the tree (a real one and take it down). That's all he needs to do in our house.
That door opening on the right with the tree on the left gives the illusion of symmetry. You made the RIGHT choice. Much more balanced 👌🏾❤
You two are so adorable.
Also, hearing you get hyped up for decorating made me so happy. I share your excitement and now I’m even more anxious to get started.
Love the staircase and am looking at a 2nd tree as well! 😬😂
Once the lighting was placed it made a big difference. The tree looks so much better on the left now that everything else is in place. Beautiful!
I use multiple trees in my home every year! Love to encourage this, as long as the placement is well thought out, it’s incredibly magical!! Everything you do is stunning!! Love watching you and your husband work together, adorable and entertaining!!❤
Move the treeYES!!!!! ITACCENTS THE WINDOW
You could take smaller trees on the bare side.
Love adding lights to the wreaths...makes it look more Holiday. Looking
Oops! Love the tree where it is now....fills the space beautifully and the wreath and mantle are spectacular. Well done guys.❤❤❤❤❤

Christmas is my absolute time for House of Valentina! You can see how much you and Jack are feeling the spirit! Just adore you both! 🌲❤️
I'm so glad you put lights in the wreath and garland! It's magical now!
Came across your channel & subscribed cause your laughter is SO CONTAGIOUS
So happy you decided to leave the tree by the fireplace. Looks amazing
Looks so gorgeous😍 you can maybe add gold bells to the wreath, that would add some color to the black wall.
I hope you guys have a whole series on how you decorate each room before you provide us with a whole house tour. I watch this video like 3x already! I’m obsessed with this holiday!
The tree is in the best place - meant to be place. I think Jack does a wonderful job of making your vision come to life.
I am so glad you all decided to place the tree on the left side and added lights to the wreath and the garland on the fire place. I am a huge advocate for lighting, so I think that you all should add lights to the greenery on the stairs and lights on the greenery over the glass bookcases as well.

Ohhhhh I LOVED the two trees!!!! 😍 I liked that they were slightly different. Made it feel more natural and ‘magical foresty’
Gorgeous. Glad you added lights to the garland.
Jack loves lights EVERYWHERE!! I thought they looked beautiful, especially at night!
The place looks so fabulous! Love, love, love the mantle and all the greenery, it looks super festive and elegant. You and Jack are so fun to watch thank you for sharing your home with us 💕
You guys are hilarious. Such joy to watch the process. Liking the final reveal.
As I was watching you & Jack hang the wreath I was growing increasingly anxious at what looked like something on fire in the room through your doorway!
I really hope that was a faux fire on a TV 😂😂😂
What about 2 additional trees of varying heights plus maybe a big reindeer or other type of statue or lanterns in front of them to the left of the fireplace or by the windows?

I see what your rationale is about the tree being beside the window making it awkward unwrapping presents, and then the empty space by the fireplace. Although, let's just get Jack to move the Balsom Hill tree back to the window (sorry Jack😁), and then try the Amazon tree in addition by the fireplace. IMO, I love the Balsom Hill tree by the window, and then with the Amazon tree by the fireplace with all the presents might work well. I could be wrong. I could be right.

Omg Valentine I just finished decorating not one tree but 4 tree with nature and touch of glam that flows to each room Oh yea a tree in our primary bedroom 🎉
I’m always inspired on all you do and how you love the spirit of Christmas as much as I do 😂❤🇨🇦🥂
I love the final Christmas tree staging! Jack is the bomb! Excited excited to see more Christmas decor! love you V. 🌲🌲
Looks amazing! A velvet bow somewhere! Not large just long. Hallmark 🎄🕯Beautiful
Absolutely beautiful!!!! The color green really warms up the room, I think it would be a lovely accent color all year round. Happy Holidays❤
It really does! It’s always my favorite version of our home!
I love the fact of two trees, I saw the difference in colour instantly. Like the one beside fireplace. Not by the window. Think if they aren’t directly across from each other, works best.

Simple yet Elegant, I’m so glad you put the Christmas tree back near the fireplace, it made that space look empty and having it front of the window seemed to block out your view to the winter wonderland that I’m sure will be coming your way, perfect choice to move it, everything looks beautiful so far V and Jack, I look forward to seeing a home tour once all rooms are finished. Happy Holidays from Australia 🇦🇺🧑🏻🎄🎅🏻🎄🎄
Love where the tree is. Putting cardboard down first works great so you can move the tree around until you get it where you want it. Also, love the idea of two trees.
I think you guys are happy, and that's what matters most!😊
I used the Velcro "One Wrap Thin Ties" on garland when I had an open banister. They work great, and don't leave a mark like zip ties can.
You are a joy to watch. I love your videos. Your enthusiasm is fantastic. Can you do a video on how you stay so cheerful and positive. I think it will be so helpful to many people.
it looks fabulous! I'm sorry I originally voted to move it. In. my defense, I didn't have a full view of the room in your last video.
Your energy at the beginning was contagious and when you kissed Jack, so sweet. I just love watching you two together. You are truly one of my favorites. Happy Holidays!
2 tress looks good if there is cemetery your tress are far away from each other just keep one unless you put the other tree on the ride side but you have a door there so your tree will be on your way !!
Yes, you are so right. The tree looked crowded. I voted for the change but I'm soooo glad you kept it by the fireplace. Valentina knows best! Pure magic!!!!
You and Your husband seem so happy being together . Keep up with the good work .
Your home is beautiful no matter what , but you are adding magic , with the decorations.
I think Valentina better start putting up her decorations August of each year . Gives you 4 months to decorate.
I start my decorations in August - December of each year, because I have a lot of everything to do.
Pipe cleaners work well on banisters. The craft type are soft, so they don’t scuff up the paint.
Your room looks beautiful. I do miss the shiny floor spheres. It's really the only time of the year you can use them and the little extra bit of shine would be amazing. I'm a huge fan of Terrain and their fairy, woodsy feel is what I believe your aiming for. At this point Id give the shiny spheres a try.
Thank you for sharing all the decorating you do.
Christmas trees by the fireplace always look beautiful and the focus is in the same area when opening gifts. Your home looks beautiful!
I love it! Great job with all the decorations. I think the tree on the left side makes the most sense. I can't wait to see the whole house.
Beautifully understated and elegant. Both of you are always a class act!
Jack is a good sport….moving the tree on his hands and knees to only show us the tree looks better by the fireplace.
The stairs & wall look great.
Honest opinion, the tree looks most appropriate by the fireplace. Unless the tree is directly in front of the window, or 2 trees flanking the window, it just seems like a random place to place a tree. Perhaps if it were a super slim tree, but even then I think it looks odd by the window. Love it near the fireplace. Everything looks beautiful as always.
Use flameless candles on the mantel. Tree looks great where ya'll had it (to the left of the fireplace). Great job.
V, you crack me up, I love it! What a nice ladder, Oh I forgot I’m talking about V.That gigantic wreath is breathtaking!! Your home will look marvelous for the holiday.. I love you moved the tree next to the fireplace, you know what to do V!!!! Blessings!!!
My ultimate favorite
It sharp and chic like watching a fashion show
I love it
This is so inspirational
I'm definitely doing my home exactly this way thank you
Don't know if i'm too late cause i'm still watching the video. I don't want to fast forward to see how it ends. My favorite was 2 of the same Amazon trees on either side of the fireplace. And I don't think you guys are crazy - I think it looks great. Stairs look great! Definitely lights in the mantle piece. And wreath. Love you guys! You git me thru Colon surgery. Lying in bed I found you on you tube. I'm 2 years post cancer stage 2, all good. Susan
I'm happy you put it back where it started it looks so beautiful there!!!
Gorgeous, tree is in prefect location. Adding lights to the wreath and garland make it sing Christmas
Everything looks beautiful. The tree looks better on the left. Have you ever tried the Luminara flameless candles? They are great for decorating where you don't want to put real candles and they look realistic.
The Christmas tree looked better on the left side of the room. Glad y’all moved it back.
Jack is awesome moving the tree around!!
Yes the trees should match. And we love the idea of having two trees.
So beautiful. Actually I really like the tree now near the fireplace. I think the lights on the mantel and the wreath tie it all together. Absolutely adore your aesthetic Valentina and such a fun video as always. Xxx
It all looks stunning. The tree is definitely in the right place. Winter wonderfully in a classy way x
Balsam tree next to fireplace is so much better! Not two trees. One dynamic tree is so much nicer! Still love
The elegance of the mirror over the fireplace…wreath is dark on black wall. Reflection of the mirror adds so much!
Love ur style!
Beautiful! I love the lights on the wreath! The room is gorgeous!
Gorgeous! I have to admit it guys…. I was wrong about the tree placement! It is perfect right there!!!!!😍
Ditch a couch. Cluster the trees all together and make a magical forest in front of the windows! There! I made it more complicated! 😝🤣
It’s very pretty, but I was wondering why you wouldn’t change out your pillows, and perhaps the decor on your tables?
Maybe it’s just me. But still it looks so pretty, and your excitement is contagious. 😊😁
Love the tree where it landed up! By the window is too visually cluttered with the muntins of the window, the doorway etc. and MOST OF ALL, your reasoning re: Christmas morning is the most compelling- it should be entirely about how it feels for the family to gather around it - it should be magical and will be!! I love the lights through the garland and wreath. I do lights through all of my garlands. Just adds cozy feel and highlights the greens etc when it’s far out. Love your final result ❤❤❤❤❤❤
It looks beautiful! If you want to put another Christmas tree by the window maybe a pencil tree would work. Thank you for all the great ideas! Happy Thanksgiving and many blessings!
Trees in the Forest are Different Colors so by the time you add picks and decorations it won't matter because they'll both be spruced up to the nines ...in My House I have all types and they are All enjoyed but then I Live in the Pacific Northwest ❤ and We have All types of Pines, Furs and spruces as well as Palms but thats why I LoVe it Here😮 Happy Holidays Guys
Enjoy Your Winderful Home and Family Time ❤❤
I’d vote for a tree on each side of that beautiful window behind the sofa with same colour lights. Maybe a large deer or polar bear statue beside the fireplace? Something different!! The room will look lovely no matter what you do.
Completely agree, different colored trees would drive me nutty too. My garland lights need to match as well.
