Two things I love...gardening and old houses! I REALLY enjoyed touring this home. A big thank you to Dennis and Mary for letting us see inside their beautiful home. They definitely have a gift for beautifying a space.
Denis & Mary’s home is a winter wonderland. So magnificent They must be dedicated, because everything I’d perfect PS who helps her take them down, some so fragile would need care in handling. Please tell them thanks , I so enjoyed armchair views of their home 💐🥰
Laura, please go back and tour again when Christmas is over! I want to focus on the art and decor without all the beautiful Christmas decor. Such a beautifully decorated home.
This is one of the most beautiful lived in homes that I have ever seen. There is something in every corner and it still looks like a Victorian should look. I don’t like when I see photos of Victorian homes and the inside and redone to look like a modern house. It is a dream of mine to own a house like this, I am happy your friends are living this life. I know this is an old video, but thank you for this tour.
I’m so late watching this video bc I didn’t get a notification 😫 I have no words for this house other than B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L ... Well done Mary and Dennis ... Mary you have an eye for beauty, decor and elegance and not to forget glamour ... Simply Stunning. 💕🎄💕
Exquisite!!! Thank you, Dennis and Mary, for allowing Laura and Aaron to show us around! Your home is lovely and you have decorated it so beautifully. What a treat to see it all decked out for Christmas! Thank you, Laura and Aaron for bringing this stunning home to us. This video could have been 24 hours long and I would have watched the whole thing, Twice. ~ Lisa
I would love to know when they start decorating their home for Christmas! It must take a couple months or more to get everything set up. Thank you so much for sharing their home with us. It is so beautiful, and I can see why you fell in love with all of their decor!
I love how they kept the elegance and touch of late nineteenth and twentieth century in their house-even though they had some renovations done . They have a little touch of end of 20th century but not much. Congratulations to this family about their house. Was an interesting visit of their house. Thank you for sharing this visit to us
Wow! That was beautiful!! Please let them know how much we loved and appreciated this! It gave me so much inspiration and some serious Christmas goals!!!
I don’t know how I missed this 2 years ago. What a treat to find this in 2022. Merry Christmas to all and thank you to Dennis and Mary for sharing your home with us. I love old homes and the woodwork is glorious.
OMG!!! 🥰😍 I LOVE THEIR DECORATED SPACES!!! I feel like i need to send Mary & Dennis an admission fee for this tour of their lovely home!! Thanks to them as well as you & Aaron.. God Bless you all for inspiring us 😘
I have had the angel on my tree for 25 years, she has been repaired once or twice and I added ribbon to her waist which trails in front of her gown, bit I love her and would never dream of replacing her. Xxxxx
WOW. That is amazing and makes me realize how important it is to get pictures all the time of everything. I also love the themed trees and areas. The house is amazing.
This was a joy to watch. So festively decorated inside and out. And no sight of grey or white walls/decor, painted furniture, farmhouse and hobby lobby items. Don't get me wrong, I still like all those things, but it was lovely to see something different for a change : )
So many of the tours I have watched this year are either farmhouse or glam. It was super interesting to look at yours and this one. Thanks for sharing!
Extremely elegant and beautiful. I'm a straight, married man but these type of decorations really bring joy to my eyes. Great job on explaining the decor
OMG where does she have the time to do all that and clean everything. She is definitely a super woman. Just simply gorgeous. WOW. I really need to step up my game.🌹🌹🌹🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 Thank you so very much for sharing this video.
A huge thank you to Dennis and Mary for opening their home for a video. Just WOW! Absolutely gorgeous interior decorating and the Christmas theme throughout is the icing on the cake. So beautiful. We have heard about you over the years and have admired your taste in gardens and homes and now we get to see your new home. Again, a huge thank you for this new inspiration.
Total fun. Loved seeing the photos of "your" house as well. It's not often anyone is able to keep in touch with former occupants of a home, and to learn the history. My fav is SNOWMAN ALLEY! Even at my age ;) I wish for a snowman tree in my home. Thanks for the tour!
As someone who LOVES Christmas trees, I could spend hours just looking at the different ornaments on all the different trees! I love Christmas ornaments, and have collected them for so many years.
Growing up we didn’t have lots of Christmas decorations. We had a small tree with a few ornaments. But we always had a wonderful Christmas dinner. The table was set with the “good” china that sparkled from the warm glow of candles. The food was awesome and plentiful. While I enjoyed this home tour and really appreciated the style of the home owners I think I enjoyed hearing how excited you were more than anything.
Thank you to Mary and Dennis for allowing us to tour their beautiful home! I love the architecture and their use of color in the paint choices. I guess I’m the only dissenter about the Christmas decor. While a lot of it is beautiful, it made me feel claustrophobic with stuff, stuff, stuff in every single corner. It reminded me of My Big Fat Greek Wedding when Tula was taking all the bows off her wedding dress. Way too much! But, it’s their home and their style. They do seem like they would be interesting people to know.
🎄Gorgeous, gorgeous, GORGEOUS! I could have watched you go through every BIT of that house! I’m one of those “gotta touch everything when I shop” types...so going room by room was extremely enjoyable. It felt like I was there! A definite “thank you” to Dennis & Mary for sharing their stunning home with your viewers.🎄
Oh my goodness!! Amazing! I have so many questions and comments and yet no words are forming. They probably didn’t want to be on camera, but I so wish they would have toured us around with you. 💛
Videos request: a roundtable discussion with the four of you both showing pictures and discussing what happened from the day they took over the blank slate until the day they gifted you the keys to the kingdom! It would be most inspiring.
I get that feeling of excitement you have when you see you have the same or similar things as Mary. I get the same feeling when I notice that you and I have similar or the same things. You are as inspiring to us, as Mary and Dennis are to you.
What a wonderful treat! Many thanks to them for sharing their love of this special season! It’s not a stretch to imagine she and your mother collaborating over the years.....two ladies with vision and style! I see why they wanted you to buy their house.......FO FORTH AND CREATE!
I have a super small house but am still writing down ideas I can use. I also have to think of storage but for one big idea was the Christmas stockings. I have quilted some stockings but the shape of the toe portion of her stockings is amazing. How cute. A must do. I live at the beach so could do one in a plain satin fabric next to one with seashells. The creative juices are flowing. Thanks for sharing. You guys are the greatest!!!!🎄🐱🦴
I love how their decorated her home for Christmas. The decor in her home is beautiful. These friends of yours has excellent taste in how they designed the additions on their property.
Be still my heart ❤️!! I decorate every room and every space for Christmas but I do not have the beautiful, expensive, nostalgic and wonderful things they have. Thank you for this I throughly enjoyed it!
Wow absolutely beautiful! I can see why you are so inspired by their decorating!! It’s timeless and classic. I love that decor so many people now are moving towards the modern erra and I am still loving the more classic style. So much love and effort goes into creating this timeless look I can surly appreciate it. Thanks for sharing their home with us and I was impressed and inspired to do more decorating for Christmas. I was shying away from doing more because so many people now are keeping with just doing the trees and not the rest of their home you know the “simple,clean, modern look” but, I am going for it and really our home is our canvas we can do with it whatever makes us happy. Thank you Laura for taking us though such a beautiful home and thank you to your friends who have such fabulous decor ! I would love to see the home without Christmas and if she could explain some of the vintage finds I would love it!!
It’s amazing,you can actually see bits of their style still within both homes now ,especially when you were in the front! You and Mary share the same taste in a lot of decor elements! Thanks for this very special tour. I❤️ both houses!
I wonder how long it takes the home owners to decorate their home and where the heck do they store all the stuff off the season hehe. Laura, I'm with you on that deep blue walls. Stunning.
Much Love from Oxford AL! I currently live in a house from 1900's. I love it soooooo much and admire and respect when people stay true to the history of the house and keep the correct timeline style of the house! Love you so much! ❤️😉🎄
Thank you for the special tour. People normally think of downsizing at later stage of life but not this couple. They moved from one old house to another with so much work in place. Awesome curatorship.
What a treat to tour this home! Decorating this large home is truly a labor of love for this family. And she must start early to get it all unpacked and displayed!
But overall the home and christmas decorations is beautiful . I want to do this kind of tradition for the holidays and I wants alot of christmas tree in my house now.
All I can say is “Wow”!! Can I please come spend a few days there? 😂 I saw so many things that reminded me of Christmas at my grandparents home. Everywhere you looked was evidence of a life well lived. Isn’t that what Christmas is all about? Coming together and sharing all the wonderful memories through the years! Thank y’all so much for doing this and thank you to Dennis and Mary for being so generous and opening their beautiful home to us! A very Merry Christmas to y’all! 🎄♥️💚
I love Victorian homes and Christmas! Wow, what a wonderful treat to see how elegant and festive their home is. Thank you so much for sharing this tour with us.
Anyone else get creeped out by those carolers? Lol! I loved this tour though! The paint in some of those rooms is so beautiful! That red kitchen and blue bedroom! Wow!
What a beautiful home! I love every room! I would love to see how your home was decorated when Mary and Dennis lived there as well. I am sure it was gorgeous! They have some beautiful collections and antiques. I just wanted to soak it all in! When you said it was time to wrap up, I was like , oh, no! I don't want it to end! I can't wait to see your home!
How absolutely beautiful. Gorgeous house and so inspiring. Please say a huge thank you to them for letting us see. Ps, that dark blue walls...... love!
Wow there is so much to take in here! Reminds me of how my mother decorated for Christmas. Love each detail and how cozy it all feels. The fencing outside with the wreaths is lovely and I love their porch. Thank you for sharing and I love that you are connected with them being they were the previous owners of your home. Cheers to good times!
Thank you and your friends so much for allowing us to see this home in all it's glory. I would love to be able to walk around inside with no time limits just to enjoy all the sights. They must really enjoy their home as it is filled with joy and beauty - must be really fun and interesting people. I also would love to see the transformation of your home from it's olden days. Wise man to take pictures of it!
I absolutely adore old homes and the decor style! Wow - I have a small foursquare home built in 1900 and I hope that I can eventually deck it out like they have done to their house.
What a gorgeous home!! And beautiful Christmas decorations! Would love to see what it looks light at night with all the trees lit and the candles in the windows. I know it's just as gorgeous at night. Thank you so much for the tour! And to Dennis & Mary for opening up their home to us. You did a great job of showing us all the beautiful details and stories behind the decorations!
It is just magnificent that you can share in the history of your home with the original owners. Thank you, Dennis and Mary, for allowing Laura and Aaron to let us take a tour and see your wonderful decorations! What a special treat.
Personally, I loved all the bold colors they used for paint in each room. Nothing light or wishy-washy. They really pulled the trigger with color selection. Looks fantastic.
Absolutely gorgeous, Laura! I could spend DAYS going through that stunning home and enjoying everything. Thank you so very much for sharing such a special place with us - and please thank the homeowners - what special people they must be!
This is my dream house with the wrap around porch and the wood details. Beautiful decorations and furnishings. Thank you for sharing this home with us.
IT'S ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! I love how much attention to detail she does in decorating for Christmas, I used to be that way, but since I've gotten older and have some physical limitations I'm not able to, but I love seeing how others decorate. Thank you so much Laura and Aaron for taking us on the tour of their home. I think its wonderful how you are so close to them and that you bought their previous home. I would love to see the pictures. Laura, you also have awesome decorating ideas and skills. Thank you again, god bless you.
I love this house. But more the fact that this couple took the time to decorate. So much work went into this and I appreciate the love and care it took for them to keep our western Christmas traditions alive. We are seeing Christmas slowly being removed, bit by bit, each year in big box retail stores. In the old days, store fronts like at The Bay up here, were decked out in everything related to Christmas, and now just red and gold splashed around in their large window fronts, with not a mention of Christmas. And decorating magazines like Canadian House&Home, use to show homes all decked out, but each year I have seen less and less, to now just a few sprigs of greenery and a sparse generic decorated tree is all the Christmas cheer to be found. So I stopped buying their magazines, and I will not shop for Christmas presents in stores that do not support Christmas. I want Christmas cheer when I walk into a store, from the decor to Christmas music, and people need to make a statement with their wallets, that people who love Christmas, will not stand by and watch Christmas be pushed right out of this wonderful season. If I lived close to you, I would definitely shop at you parent's store. Even Christmas lights are being attacked. I saw an article in a paper, about how the Christmas lights where harmful to the planet, and for the sake of the "Climate Change", people should stop putting them up. I looked closer at the small photo of the writer of this article, and it was an obvious non-Christian person. There is an agenda, but I still have hope. This time last year, there was a group of children singing Christmas carols inside of Walmart, in our small town. A large group of people stopped what they were doing, and gathered around. I watched the people, their faces lit up and you could see how happy this made them. Christmas, our values and traditions must be protected.
Two things I love...gardening and old houses! I REALLY enjoyed touring this home. A big thank you to Dennis and Mary for letting us see inside their beautiful home. They definitely have a gift for beautifying a space.
Denis & Mary’s home is a winter wonderland. So magnificent They must be dedicated, because everything I’d perfect
PS who helps her take them down, some so fragile would need care in handling. Please tell them thanks , I so enjoyed armchair views of their home 💐🥰

I’m really impressed with your comment, if you don’t mind friendship where are you from?
I just figured that the house has a lot of history and its age .
Exquisite!!! Thank you, Dennis and Mary, for allowing Laura and Aaron to show us around! Your home is lovely and you have decorated it so beautifully.

It’s so fun to hear where everything was in your home!
I would love to see pictures of what your house looked like when they first purchased it.
Yes, I second this. I'd love a video some time on the evolution of your home, even if it's a video of photos.
I third this!!
Me too, it would be very interesting 🤔
You could always go back to the beginning of this channel's videos and watch each one of them. :)
@@Bamboo4U2 I think they mean even before that! Wouldn't that be cool?
I love these old videos.😊
Blind people appreciate your voiceover and descriptions! Thank you. 😊
What a beautiful home!! My only thought other than "wow" is omg, they must need a second house to store it all!
I would love to know when they start decorating their home for Christmas! It must take a couple months or more to get everything set up. Thank you so much for sharing their home with us. It is so beautiful, and I can see why you fell in love with all of their decor!
I had to pause at the Christmas tree and say... This home is SPECTACULAR! I couldn't even wait until the end. Wow! Love it!
I love how they kept the elegance and touch of late nineteenth and twentieth century in their house-even though they had some renovations done . They have a little touch of end of 20th century but not much. Congratulations to this family about their house. Was an interesting visit of their house. Thank you for sharing this visit to us

What a wonderful home! Very inspiring and relaxing to watch, I appreciate the owners letting us take a tour with you, just beautiful! ☺️

I love how exited you get showing us other people ideas.
What a beautiful house love the decor....love from Melbourne Australia
House envy!!! The amount of time it must take to decorate...I am in awe.
Dont be..IT WILL KILL U..BEEN THERE DONE THAT...
As someone who LOVES Christmas trees, I could spend hours just looking at the different ornaments on all the different trees! I love Christmas ornaments, and have collected them for so many years.
How kind of them to share with us! I love how festive their entire house and property are. Thank you for the tour.
THANK YOU Denis and Mary❤
this is beautiful! I'm naturally a very minimalist decorator but i WISH I had the eye for a more traditional style.
Growing up we didn’t have lots of Christmas decorations. We had a small tree with a few ornaments. But we always had a wonderful Christmas dinner.

Beautiful house Laura. Could you do a tour in the spring/summer of this house and yard? They have gorgeous taste.
Adra Bruzzese that is exactly what I was thinking.
10:11... I see who bought the ornament Laura had wanted during the tour of Andrew's. 😁
@@thefifthanggo I noticed it too - Merry Christmas everyone.
I spotted that red bauble too 😄 x
Saw that too
I thought the same as she showed that tree.
😂 I saw that ornament too!! Delightful.
I love that old school feel.. 💙💜❤
What a wonderful treat! Many thanks to them for sharing their love of this special season! It’s not a stretch to imagine she and your mother collaborating over the years.....two ladies with vision and style! I see why they wanted you to buy their house.......FO FORTH AND CREATE!
what a gorgeous home. I love all the layers of lifetime memories. This is a home that looks like it smells good, if that makes sense.
I love the colors of the rooms. Such a beautiful home...they have a gift to make old homes beautiful 😍
I have a super small house but am still writing down ideas I can use. I also have to think of storage but for one big idea was the Christmas stockings. I have quilted some stockings but the shape of the toe portion of her stockings is amazing. How cute. A must do. I live at the beach so could do one in a plain satin fabric next to one with seashells. The creative juices are flowing. Thanks for sharing. You guys are the greatest!!!!🎄🐱🦴
I love how their decorated her home for Christmas. The decor in her home is beautiful. These friends of yours has excellent taste in how they designed the additions on their property.
Well, we don't know if it was just Mary. Maybe Dennis has a sharp eye too. (Or maybe he doesn't care. I have no idea, lol)
Jake, thank you. I meant to put they. It's corrected now.
Many thanks to Dennis and Mary for allowing the tour. What a beautiful home. Thank you for taking the time to share it with us!
Be still my heart ❤️!! I decorate every room and every space for Christmas but I do not have the beautiful, expensive, nostalgic and wonderful things they have. Thank you for this I throughly enjoyed it!
Wow absolutely beautiful! I can see why you are so inspired by their decorating!! It’s timeless and classic. I love that decor so many people now are moving towards the modern erra and I am still loving the more classic style. So much love and effort goes into creating this timeless look I can surly appreciate it. Thanks for sharing their home with us and I was impressed and inspired to do more decorating for Christmas.

My dream house, wow~ thank you so much and please thank them for allowing us to see!
Hi Laura and Aaron! Many thanks to Dennis and Mary for sharing their beautiful home with us. All of the decorations are so pretty and fun!
Such elegance, cannot imagine how long it takes to decorate, where do they store everything?
That's exactly what I was thinking, storage! Of course my darling house is 998 square feet so that question is always on my mind.
Yes, my thoughts exactly! Inspiring and beautiful but can we please have more people share how and where they store their seasonal decor?!
Lena Cooksey my guess is they have an off site storage unit
It could have a full sized basement. Most old houses have one.
Omg! I wonder the same thing how long it took them to decorate everything. 🤔
Thank you for the special tour. People normally think of downsizing at later stage of life but not this couple. They moved from one old house to another with so much work in place. Awesome curatorship.
What a treat to tour this home! Decorating this large home is truly a labor of love for this family. And she must start early to get it all unpacked and displayed!

Wow! That was so fun! Dennis and Mary sound so interesting! How blessed you are to have them in your life and count them among your friends! :D
Anyone else get creeped out by those carolers? Lol! I loved this tour though! The paint in some of those rooms is so beautiful! That red kitchen and blue bedroom! Wow!
Beautiful 😍 This is what years of collecting looks like. And Laura you're well on your way!
Awe inspiring! Thanks to you and them! That porch..........❤️

Me: I guess I should put the Nativity set on the end table. There. That outa do it. 👏
Lololol
Wow there is so much to take in here! Reminds me of how my mother decorated for Christmas. Love each detail and how cozy it all feels. The fencing outside with the wreaths is lovely and I love their porch. Thank you for sharing and I love that you are connected with them being they were the previous owners of your home. Cheers to good times!
So beautiful! They must have amazing storage space!!
Please tell them thank you for opening their home to us. Everything was just beautiful.
Thank you and your friends so much for allowing us to see this home in all it's glory. I would love to be able to walk around inside with no time limits just to enjoy all the sights.

You did a great job of showing us all the beautiful details and stories behind the decorations!
What a museum home. It was gorgeous
Mary
What a lovely home, I feel like I would never want to leave. Love it.
Beautiful! Thank you!
What a huge treat! So appreciative to them for opening their beautiful home up to all of us!!
Wow these people are Laura's inspiration and that's lovely! We're all so inspired by Laura and now we've 'seen' her idol
This is so amazing!! Can we still see a picture or maybe even a little outdoor video of it when it's dark out and the lights are on?
Wow! Absolutely beautiful. Mary is a Christmas artist! Beyond the Christmas decor, she and her husband have created a stunning home.
the vintage tree on 2nd floor is called a ceramic tree. When my Mother passed away I got the ceramic tree back I made for her.
It is just magnificent that you can share in the history of your home with the original owners. Thank you, Dennis and Mary, for allowing Laura and Aaron to let us take a tour and see your wonderful decorations! What a special treat.
Love the idea of color lights deeper inside the tree. I'll be trying that one next year!
Try a “twinkling” one on the trunk of tree. Makes a lot of difference.
I couldn't stop smiling for 20 minutes and release quite a few wows😀
Thank you for that private tour - so much to see- their home is lovely - and the tiny dog is so cute and I see they have their own Russell LOL
That house is my dream house! Love those old Victorian houses with wrap around porches! I love those chandelier ornaments!
Wow, absolutely beautiful. I can tell you that the way you feel looking at their house is the way we feel looking at yours. PS. Like the new vans. 😂
wow wow wow i have no words for this amazing home
Omgosh!!! I am in LOVE with their style! They’ve done such a beautiful job in keeping with the character of their home 😍😍😍
I love how you can’t pass an animal without petting it snd giving some love. So sweet 🥰
Lovely, stately and whimsical all at the same time. The eye jumps from place to place. 🎄❤️
Personally, I loved all the bold colors they used for paint in each room. Nothing light or wishy-washy. They really pulled the trigger with color selection. Looks fantastic.
Absolutely gorgeous, Laura! I could spend DAYS going through that stunning home and enjoying everything. Thank you so very much for sharing such a special place with us - and please thank the homeowners - what special people they must be!
This is my dream house with the wrap around porch and the wood details. Beautiful decorations and furnishings. Thank you for sharing this home with us.
IT'S ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! I love how much attention to detail she does in decorating for Christmas, I used to be that way, but since I've gotten older and have some physical limitations I'm not able to, but I love seeing how others decorate. Thank you so much Laura and Aaron for taking us on the tour of their home. I think its wonderful how you are so close to them and that you bought their previous home. I would love to see the pictures. Laura, you also have awesome decorating ideas and skills. Thank you again, god bless you.
Hello I’m really impressed with your comment, if you don’t mind friendship where are you from?
I would love to see the old pictures of your current home!
I love this house. But more the fact that this couple took the time to decorate. So much work went into this and I appreciate the love and care it took for them to keep our western Christmas traditions alive. We are seeing Christmas slowly being removed, bit by bit, each year in big box retail stores. In the old days, store fronts like at The Bay up here, were decked out in everything related to Christmas, and now just red and gold splashed around in their large window fronts, with not a mention of Christmas. And decorating magazines like Canadian House&Home, use to show homes all decked out, but each year I have seen less and less, to now just a few sprigs of greenery and a sparse generic decorated tree is all the Christmas cheer to be found. So I stopped buying their magazines, and I will not shop for Christmas presents in stores that do not support Christmas. I want Christmas cheer when I walk into a store, from the decor to Christmas music, and people need to make a statement with their wallets, that people who love Christmas, will not stand by and watch Christmas be pushed right out of this wonderful season. If I lived close to you, I would definitely shop at you parent's store. Even Christmas lights are being attacked. I saw an article in a paper, about how the Christmas lights where harmful to the planet, and for the sake of the "Climate Change", people should stop putting them up. I looked closer at the small photo of the writer of this article, and it was an obvious non-Christian person. There is an agenda, but I still have hope. This time last year, there was a group of children singing Christmas carols inside of Walmart, in our small town. A large group of people stopped what they were doing, and gathered around. I watched the people, their faces lit up and you could see how happy this made them. Christmas, our values and traditions must be protected.
Mary has a great eye....... she’s a terrific decorator!
