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.

In the first moment, his front door shows off a plastic fruits wreath.

[@pam7931]

❤ Somebody please give this man his own weekly show! We need more, more, more, more, more of his decorating tips and style for the whole year ❤

[@carol4643]

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

[@lynmarie1786]

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❤️

[@annjohnson8437]

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!!! ❤

[@Katie-vy5rd]

Happy holidays 🎄 xo from Idaho heres to your heart healing soon.

[@jerryrobinpendleton5171]

God bless you. Decorating your home will comfort you. Be good to yourself and give yourself time to grieve. Praying for your broken heart. ❤

[@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.

[@teresagaudiot7459]

I just love him. What a fun and joyful person!

[@sue2611]

I agree. He would be a great neighbor.

[@sue2611]

I agree. He would be a great neighbor.

[@Metamorphosis65]

I would love to know what the wallpaper is in the primary bedroom. It’s lovely! The whole house is lovely!

[@slowdiggity8793]

I would definitely watch Brian present a series on interiors of stately homes. He has such wonderful passion, enthusiasm, and energy!

[@readme8398]

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

[@davidshep45]

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.

[@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 ❤

[@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!

[@TerriEnglish]

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

[@arleneg1271]

Love that Brian saved his grandmother's crewel needlework piece. Love this esthetic!!

[@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

[@pattilapp30]

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.

[@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!

[@everycoLor_312]

He's adorable! Merry Christmas 🎄!

[@priscillanash3543]

I thought the same.

[@ErikaGabela]

I also display my old Christmas cards year after year. They get pinned to a wide red ribbon that is hung vertically on the wall. He made me so happy when he pointed his cards out!

[@justinamusyoka4986]

It's been years since I last saw a Christmas card , seems now like another generation.

[@dyinteriors]

What a home! I loved it Brian Brandon. You are an extremely talented young man indeed. You could be an interior designer or a curator of a museum house in a flash. Pure talent!

[@Sword_and_Crown]

I absolutly love this! It’s one of the very rare true and authentic homes , it is so obviously him! So comfortable, colorful, unique and beautiful. Love the cute dog!

[@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!

[@mitzibud6908]

One of the best visits!!

[@suzannenichols6030]

I'm so delighted to see Brian showcased here! I have followed him for a few years. Such a lovely, genuine man. Appreciating his gorgeous decorating has brought joy to my own holidays. Thank you, Brian, for sharing your home and passion for decorating! 🎄Merry Christmas!

[@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!

[@tmdeen8621]

This channel has fast-tracked right to the top of my favorites list. Yummy inspiration! 💞

[@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.

[@mercedesquinn6374]

I love Brian's Christmas home tour and his lovely way to explain each detail.

[@bethdavis8441]

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!

[@saraevanswilson4814]

What a gorgeous home. Everything has a story. That's the it should be. Absolutely beautiful. ❤️

[@bethcaswell9670]

[@terri4353]

He’s so lucky to have such a large number of happy memories! What a joy he is. He makes me want to be his best friend. Or at least come back as his dog.

[@lindasesker3895]

[@nancimoll9901]

I loved his joyful and funny attitude towards decorating his home. It’s so warm, quirky and lovely. He seems like a fun guy to know.

One of my favorites on this channel! His delightful and charming home, his welcoming personality - you can just see yourself over for dinner and cocktails, having a nice time. I love seeing homeowners incorporate childhood treasures into their home.

[@cindybennett9923]

Brian, you are a gem! Your spirit is infectious, your decorating exquisite and your soul sings in your home. You go to great lengths to make others feel important to you and at ease. Any one would be fortunate to be your friend and share your joy with you. You made my Christmas a little bit happier! Thanks so much for sharing! Have a blessed Christmas!

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 the story about the Mt. Vernon ornament from Austria!

[@myhappynest6125]

Wow, this house is so beautiful. I love every room in it. Brian is extremely talented and very creative. I love that he is so sentimental about his childhood and things that he grew up with. He has a great sense of humor too. One of your best videos. Thank you 😍

[@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. 😊

[@lissadevega3638]

What drew me closer and found entirely appealing was the owner's narrative of the history behind every single element/content of his house. It gave me a better appreciation of his decor style.

[@kkatmom]

The Gathering is a favorite Christmas movie! It was filmed near where I worked at the time. The house was beautiful!

[@polynesia8733]

So enchanting and the owner is so fun, can’t count how many times I’ve watched and shared this perfect Christmas video!

And I love the personalized stationery set in the guest room! So Southern! Thanks for the very best design channel!

[@lisalundstrom1591]

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.

[@annsmith7207]

Just so festive! Thank you for your joyous and considered style! I buy fresh pine in very long strands - as you would for the stair bannister - and use two or three boughs intertwined for more bulk and wrap it around the wood frame of my canopy bed and then inhale the pine fragrance throughout the season! I use a spray water bottle to mist it to keep the fragrance very fresh! Wonderful! Alternatively, a fresh pine wreath on the wall behind the bed also has great effect! Cheers and enjoy the season! ✨🎄✨

[@chriscole7556]

I so enjoyed this video. Not just for the decor, but also just listening to Brian talk. I'd love to have a glass of wine with this guy and hear his stories. He seems so genuine and fun.
