    Wow I wish I had a chateau to decorate. And taste. And style. And talent.

      I think it comes down to taking a chance and in particular marrying the right woman 😉

      Most of the stuff can be learned, you can acquire taste. The artistic talent comes in your dna (or not). Love from Spain 😊

    Your garland and wreaths are beautiful!! Things like that would cost quite a bit and you are so fortunate to have everything you need on your property. We have holly bushes and for some reason I've only ever seen a few(literally) berries on them. I wish they were loaded with them so I could use them for decor!

    We have mulled wine in Sweden too, but I guess with more spices? We use cinnamon, dried ginger, cardamom seeds, orange peel, raisins and
    as many as 12 cloves that are put in unseasoned brandy for four days. Then we strain the liquid into a pan and heat it up with sugar and red wine. Yum!

  • @tettivestberg2989

  • @LewHarriman
    @LewHarriman Před 6 měsíci +3

    Superb decorative designs, beautifully executed. But I always remain conscious of the fact that without the surpassingly excellent videography, lyrical cinematography and thoughtful music selection and pacing plus highly accomplished audio engineering, the designs and the renovation efforts would all appear... arduous and flat. Amazing CZcams productions, every week. Thank you, Phillip!

    Enjoyed this so much, and I think you re very wise to have the person who broke the window make retrubution. A hard lesson but we learn to take responsiblity for our actions. You are very loving parents to do this. The tree and the garland look beautiful as do the hand made ornaments. Anna your talents never cease to amaze.

    • @Sgirl
      @Sgirl Před 6 měsíci
