Thank you so much! I am so thrilled people still respect elegance! Tablescapes is what I did in my past life as an event designer. I will most certainly make a lot of videos in the future about home decor and party planning which includes a ton of tablescapes and florals! Happy Holidays!

[@fineartlifestyle]

Thank you!

[@jenabunch3647]

Just beautiful ❤ I am more traditional with the reds, but your home is absolutely stunning! The yr and style of your home , is perfect for the blues! ❤

[@fineartlifestyle]

Funny story, originally this year I was going to do the classic red and green palette with a Charles Dickens theme. However, this would mean removing so many of my blues from the living room and I already had many of the ornaments from last year so I decided to share it with KZbin for this year. I will lean into the burgundy wine red at some point as well. I appreciate your comment.

[@elenaseverdaylife5985]

Beautiful 👍 🤍💙💛Love your Marble, Stone fireplace,very Stunning!!!

[@fineartlifestyle]

I can't take any credit for the artist who once carved that masterpiece, but I wholeheartedly enjoy her! Cheers!

[@traceye.6428]

I also just came across your channel. I watch your butterflies under glass, and now I’m enjoying this video. I couldn’t wait for it to finish before commenting. I’m very envious of your home. It looks like you e done an absolutely beautiful job!!! I’m looking forward to more and I’m subscribing! Don’t be afraid to let more of your personality show. I’m sure you are a very sophisticated lady, but you can let loose a little bit. It won’t take away from the fact that your choices are elegant and beautiful. Some of the best channels have a host with a great personality. Maybe you’re a bit shy right now. Anyway, back to watch your video! ❤ greetings from 🇨🇦

[@fineartlifestyle]

I am definitely trying to loosen up in the front of the camera as it has been my biggest fear. I am a self conscious person to tell you the truth and it has taken me 5 years after ages of hubby coaxing me to do this. The idea of being in front of potentially thousands of people is humbling but also frightening. I am actually quite the silly joker and have a very non refined side as well! I am sure it will come out soon enough. I try to treat the camera like I would a good friend.

[@traceye.6428]

@@fineartlifestyle You’re doing great so far! I can’t wait to see your silly self come out. You can do it! And it’s also easy for me to recommend you loosen up, because I could never talk in front of a camera. So you are miles ahead of a lot of people! I just wanted to encourage you to be yourself. I’ll continue to watch and I’m excited to see the evolution of your channel and of you as a hostesss. ❤🇨🇦

Beautiful!!! Where are the lamps from? Looking forward to more videos.

[@fineartlifestyle]

I got mine from Home Sense a few years ago in Canada for a steal at $150 each. However, now that I see them online they are $1500 per lamp!!! I have sourced similar ones on amazon but I can't vouch for the quality.

Do you have a link for the gold pinecones? I'm obsessed with them!

[@fineartlifestyle]

Hello! I wish I did! I bought them at Home Sense aka Home Goods a year ago. I tried looking them up to provide a link but sadly none could be found. That being said, try "Martha Stewart gold pinecones" on ebay.

[@moodyblue30]

Just started watching your video and had to stop when I saw that gorgeous stag candle holder!!! Do you have a link for purchase?

[@fineartlifestyle]

So many people have been asking about him, but it is one of those items that appears at Home Sense/Home Goods at the beginning of the season and quickly disappears. I attempted to find a comparable but no luck. So I apologize I can't provide a link. Not for a lack of trying though.
