CHRISTMAS TOUR | Inside a Beautifully Decorated Virginia Home

[@janicewaters6300]

No plastic. No blow ups all over the yard. No Christmas sweaters that light up. It is very nice to see someone decorate classy and still festive for christmas

[@drummerlovesbookworm9738]

I accidentally poked a hole in the neighbor’s 15’ plastic blow-up Rudolph with flashing lights and sound that played 24/7. I apparently was wandering around my block in my pajamas, snow boots, and puffer jacket with a big nail in my pocket one December about 11 years ago! Just a vague unfortunate memory. 😳 So glad my mishap remains a mystery.

Yes, I agree, and he’s very amusing and personable.

I agree!!!!

[@theresaholden7580]

I was smiling throughout the whole tour. Brian’s excitement and Christmas spirit was so beautiful. I connected to his comment that he buys what he likes then finds a place for it. His home is so magical with eye candy everywhere. Thanks Brian, Merry Christmas.🎄

[@bettydant6037]

Me too. I kept smiling and the more he talked about his home the more I smiled. He is magical❤️

I've been having trouble getting in the holiday spirit this season after the death of my mom and my beloved 13 year old cat. This home tour has inspired me to pull the decorations out and get decorating! Thank you for this lovely tour!!! ❤

[@vanityfair5823]

I understand how you are feeling right now, my condolences. Good for you to take care of yourself and decorate! Your mom and kitty would have loved that! Mom, because she'd want you to be happy and kitty because he/she would love to knock the ornaments off the tree!

[@chriswilson4112]

God bless you Ann. Your mother would definitely want you to pull those decorations out and allow yourself to embrace life. She's smiling down at you from heaven 🙂

[@rosehill1595]

Your mom and your kitty are still with you in spirit. Holiday decorations bring good memories - enjoy them and don't forget to create something new and special this year. Life goes on, it is up to you to find ways to enjoy the seasons and your time on this earth. Leave a little sparkle everywhere...:) and celebrate whenever you can. Honor their memories and think about the wonderful times you had together. Best wishes for the holidays and going slowly forward.

[@angelarogershesch529]

This was a delightful tour. I appreciated his humor, sweet demeanor, and exceptional taste in decor and fashion. Also, can we all agree Oatsy was the best part? Her calm and loving personality is proof that a beautiful and joyful environment completely influences our lives. ♥️

This man is so lovely and so animated. He is so charming and snuggly in his plaid pants and cable knit sweater. Everything about this house is to die for. The collections are curated in such a way one would believe he has lived here forever.

[@mrsverovalera]

Beautiful home ❤ I love his honesty about not letting anyone touch his tree decor and painting his own home.

[@SecondsOfAnOrdinaryLife]

Anyone else wish to be invited to Brian's Christmas party? 🙋‍♀ What a stunning, classy, but inviting home. Next time I'm down in Old Town I hope I see this lovely old lady of a house. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@jdos5643]

Martha Stewart was definitely a part of his inspiration in the home decor. Imagine a dinner table set up by him and Martha

[@sarahterry2140]

Such an interesting, fun gentleman - love his passion for his home and Christmas! I especially appreciate how beautifully he designed his kitchen with the wood counters and brick floor, the incredible story of how he bought the house and could see its bones, the cedar bannister garland, the bedroom wallpaper, all the meaningful family things, the choice of Farrow and Ball paints, bamboo chairs at the antique dining table, the antique look ribbons, his auction habit…and I haven’t even finished the video yet. LOL - all my beds are the smaller French antique ones so I get the comment on not having queen - love the faux bamboo one!

[@daniellapiper]

This was hands down, my favorite episode so far - the owner brings love and joy to his home through design, and with a sense of humor ❤

[@readme8398]

What a lovely house, what a charming owner. I loved this Christmas story. ❤

[@rebeccamartin465]

This man could have his own television show! What a great guy he has for Antiques, and putting them together in just the right fashion. I have watched this video numerous times and see something special each and every time I see it. Please consider doing more videos. I would love to see any recipes you might use during your entertaining. I bet it is fabulous. Thank you so much for giving us a glimpse inside your beautiful home.

[@TerriEnglish]

May I never lose my enthusiasm and appreciation for those who decorate for the holidays. Pure delight!

[@mistyblueskincaretv6748]

This was such fun. First of all, Brian clearly loves his home and knows his own style. Second of all, Brian has excellent taste and is an amazing decorator and his home proves it. Thirdly, I am so thankful to find out that I’m not the only weirdo that puts custom stationery with my farmhouse’s name on it in our guest bedroom. I could watch hours of Brian - he comes off as ver cheeky and charming!

This is the best Christmas present! Not only is his home spectacular, Brian Branton is incredibly charming and likable. I enjoyed every second. Merry Christmas and thanks for a wonderful tour.

[@AMATEURDECORATINGLIKEAPRO]

I live for this channel! The wreaths take my breath away! I lived in Alexandria. They have the most beautiful historical homes. It reminds me of the holiday historical tours in Madison, GA and Atlanta, GA. This is the best channel. I know the holiday smell of the cedar in your home is magnificent. Yes, diamond testing was done by edging the windows. That nativity is stunning!

[@vanityfair5823]

I love Brian!!! What a beautiful home that he has made for himself. I had a laugh when he said he's too cheap to hire someone to paint...he's a brother in spirit on that one!

[@50Street21]

I've decided I'm going to make a concerted effort to watch this video annually to inspire and put me into the spirit of the season. There is such a genuine charm to Brian's character. He knows what brings him joy and there is nothing pretentious about his home. Thanks for today's tour. Merry Christmas! Darryl

[@denisefrandsen5106]

Just watched it twice in a row because of how much goodness is here. I think I found my favorite episode

[@ellaaltman2137]

I would not consider myself a maximalist, BUT there is not one corner of Bryan's amazing Alexandria home that does not delight! From the painting of Oatsie with the ever-present ball in her mouth, to the gallery walls full of sentimental pieces this man knows how to make a house a home. LOVE the original white color on the walls of the living room and the stationery for the guest room (pen and stamps included) - just one more special touch that is inimitably Bryan. Thank you!

[@LS-fv2wl]

Agree with Theresa, this literally made me smile and laugh out loud. I watched every single second and lapped it up. Will watch it again. Brian is a lovely gentleman and his enthusiasm is infectious. Wish he could come decorate my house!

[@missylearned9821]

I watch and/or listen to 99% of KZbin videos at 2x speed. Within 90 seconds I realized I had to watch this in normal speed and often had to rewind to reabsorb the beautiful rooms. What a beautiful home he’s created. Masterpiece!

[@lyric8529]

I too thought they were going too fast! And seriously wonder what kind of camera they are using. I'm not a videographer by any stretch but there always seems to be something glitchy and hard to watch about their videos! Camera person please SLOW down.

[@missylearned9821]

@@lyric8529 I’m not quite sure what you are referring to. The video was fine at normal speed on my end. It’s just that I normally listen to most videos (news, commentaries by various folks, and even decorating videos, etc., at 2x speed), but his house was just so warm and lovely that I had to enjoy it at normal speed. Just so you know, you can also slow the video down far below the normal speed as well, but I have to turn the volume off as I can’t listen to the sound of slow videos.

[@sunshowers186]

What a beautiful home! I am especially touched by the display of Brian's Dad's saddle. A lovely way to remember someone.

What a stunning home and I love all of the collections and how well presented they are. So fun to see how someone else decorates for Christmas and some of the stories behind the sentimental pieces used. Plus a huge shout out to Oatsy for how well behaved she was throughout. I can't imagine either of my two terriers not bringing a tree down or something if ever filmed!

If I saw this house as the law firm, I would’ve turned around and walked right out the front door. It amazes me the vision that you had and what you did with this place. I absolutely loved your gallery wall. I loved Katherine Hepburn’s table and the picture of her on it. I think my favorite room of the house was the living room and my daughter loved your library. Thank you for sharing. One more thing,I loved the portrait of your dog.

His Home is Charming! Kind of American version of English Country. Elegant, yet Cozy and Inviting. Not sure they get Snow down there but - that would be a stunning Snow day to spent in this house!

[@nickdeming9328]

This was just what I needed to get in the spirit of the season! My husband and I are getting over (what I feel) is the worst cold in the world. As a result, I haven't been able to even start my Christmas decorating and it's made me more than a little depressed. We currently live overseas (Germany) and this is the time for Christmas markets and fests. Being sick has taken that joy away right now, and the clock is ticking. But I came upon your video while I drank my cup of tea. You brought me back into the season! Your home is a pure delight. We are "clutter" people. After 35 years of marriage (half of those living in Europe working for the government), we amassed quite a fun and quirky collection of vintage and antique, items (including ornaments). My husband declares that he's hard-pressed to actually see the wall behind all the treasures I have hanging. I spent 7 years working in Alexandria and my husband in DC. So, we are no strangers to that wonderful area. Brian thank you for sharing your lovely home with us and bringing back my spirit of Christmas! BTW, Schönbrunn Palace really does look like that, but it's about three times as wide as Mount Vernon. I guess there's only so far you can stretch a building size on a glass ornament. 😊

[@carolefreeman2544]

Wonderful home! It’s so lovely to see someone who loves his home so much, that it still excites him to tell the story of his home. His personality and style shine throughout the home. You can tell he comes from a very loving family and that Christmas holds very fond memories. This is exactly how it should be!

I love your home. I love all of the combinations of colors and textures. It is beautifully done. I find myself disappointed when I look for Christmas decorating inspiration on KZbin. This channel truly showcases lovely homes. Not homes that are trying to follow a trend. Homes that are loved and lived in and tell wonderful stories. That is how I try to decorate my home. I feel much a kin to you when you said, “If I love something I buy it and try to find a spot for it”. I hope that someday my home, although probably done on the lesser budget, will have a similar feel of warmth and coziness. Thank you so much for sharing your home. I just loved it.
