Cleaning & decorating our countryside home for the new year

[@ayla8345]

There’s something so soothing and nice when someone is just showing what they’re doing and not constantly talking. I need ✨silence✨

[@hokusai41]

For me, the tree goes up early December, and then often stays up till the end of January. I've watched a couple of your videos now, and I have to say as someone who struggles with ADHD, I am greatly appreciating how organized you are. As they say, taking notes over here. : ). And yes, no need to compare ourselves to others. You do you and what makes you comfortable and happy. I find putting away the dishes while making my morning coffee is a perfect jump start to my day as my ADHD meds kick in. I get a job done, can tidy/reset the kitchen a bit and then relax with coffee and breakfast till my meds kick in.

[@ioannadearc7901]

I love how orderly, precise, and productive you are! It shows a very disciplined mind and a strong will. G-d bless and a very happy New Year!

[@cloudyhills]

Happy new year to you too! :-)

[@lara_xy]

I really like how you decorated the area with the mirror! And how cute that you got some vintage items from family! Also: the dinner you made looks *super* tasty!

[@linahebi7525]

At last someone commenting why and which decore he/she puts here and there! Thank you so much, learned a lot from only couple of minutes from you :)

[@x_wendy5599]

That recipe looks delicious! 😍 It's fun to see your home come togheter in all these video's, it looks like a very warm and cosy place so far!

[@hazeit]

This channel is my favorite discovery. Haven't found a channel like this in a very long time (since Heyclaire).

[@jennitogo]

Loved this video! So calming and relaxing to watch you decorate. You have a beautiful home 🤍 You inspire me so much! I am so excited for more videos!

[@AGirlIm]

Te quiero mucho cloudyhills, tus videos me ayudan un montón a calmar mi ansiedad y son muy hermosos de ver. Gracias desde Argentina.

[@anapuig3889]

You are definitely an artist. I LOVE your videos, specially the makeovers, they make me feel relaxed Thank you for your work 😘

[@flamingoliz]

I have mixed feelings about taking down Christmas decor too- it's beautiful but I also want my space back! Your decor is lovely, we would never know you struggle because it always turns out lovely. That chicken meal looks so yum- happy new year!

[@thebookbujo]

I always take down my decoration for xmas suuuuper late, it's just so sad that you look forward to making the place cozy all year and then suddenly you have to take it down! Right now I'm looking for how I can fill up those empty spaces that I want to decorate hehe. This vlog was sooo cozy and nice to watch!!

[@jamiegames7698]

I love your videos so much that I’m always very happy when I see there’s a new upload 🥰

[@ninaslice]

Last night I made the two recipes you included and they turned out soooooo yummy! Thank you! ❤

[@cloudyhills]

So nice to hear! ☺️

[@peachyonomatopoiea]

First comment for this aesthetic, calming, and motivational video! 😌🧺🪴

[@Ber.itsCold]

Thanks for sharing your thought process as you decorated!! Also thank you for a new recipe to try out!!🙌🏼

[@Justa25000]

This trick with girland is so smart!

[@berlinbeachkat4878]

I missed you! I leave my Christmas deco up until 6th January. Everything feels so bare and cold (ungemütlich) for the first few days. I miss the lights the most. The dish looked very tasty.

[@cloudyhills]

I know what you mean, each time I walked into my living room I'd frown first because it looks so empty!

[@jpr7483]

Love your channel I re-watch all your videos!! So happy when you upload a new video!! ❤

[@jessicaromansky8281]

I feel the same way about unloading the dishwasher. It usually takes me less time than I thought and I feel so accomplished afterwards. If it motivates me to continue cleaning or doing things, great. If not, I still accomplished something! 🎉

[@HAppytobeHer]

Love your videos! Hope you had a nice rest ✨ can’t wait to see what’s coming 😉

[@joannabusinessaccount7293]

I love your kitchen so much - so much better looking and calmer without upper cabinets.

[@cloudyhills]

I wouldn't be able to reach them anyway 😆

[@Bloomme.]

That wax warmer is so cute, everything put together looks so nice❤

[@debranielsen2002]

The only good part of taking down Christmas is that you are starting a fresh new year, and actually I usually find the usual items I put back seem new again.

[@librarylady6mena368]

I like your decor, the color pallette is perfect. Have you considered putting the potted plant on top of the books for more height? I've seen other decorators on KZbin do that. Good job!

[@deliciousbakingcooking7088]

Love how you keep everything in place so tidy

[@Sunflowers9191]

Happy New Year to you! 🎉 I always get rid of my Christmas decor a couple of days after Christmas because I have a real tree.. by then I’m so done with it though haha

[@staceyv9152]

Yea! So glad you're back! Thank you for sharing.

[@Skinnypnny]

Love the place and setup, even the night vibe feels differently ! ❤❤❤

[@ismininikolaidou9848]

Love your decoration. The new vase is awesome!

[@krutibhavsar9534]

Youre so patient with your tasks🪽. I bet id spend 1 hr for this and 10hrs for sleeping reading studying 🙌🐿️🫏🐎🐒🐇🐝...

[@klaudiawu.6705]

Everything looks great, I was looking forward to your next video! *_* I thought, that in this glass container, instead of snacks, you can also keep wax chips for a wax burner - it could also be nice and practical :D

[@cloudyhills]

Oooooh that's such a great idea!

[@jpr7483]

Great idea!

[@itsAna4]

Love the recipe at the end! 🤍🤍

[@CharlotteEdmonds626]

I always love how you decorate! But maybe instead of just nuts on the tabletop, maybe make it a hot cocoa bar! And you can change it out seasonally if you like or keep it neutral!

[@kevineyvis]

I love your style decor, cleaning and cooking 🍽 thanks for sharing ✨️

[@lolacifuentes202]

In Spain, our Christmas holidays last until January 6th, cause we celebrate The Three Kings Day that day (they left gifts to children the previous night, just like Santa Claus), so we have our Christmas decor up at least until that day. Love your channel :)

[@cloudyhills]

That's so interesting!

[@gildetefarias3596]

Amo 😍 tudo nessa casa!!!

[@kbodychek]

Oooh so excited a new video is up! I really like how you decorated the sideboard in the dining area - I think I might‘ve tried to flip it (so that the mirror is on the right instead of the left side and so on). That way the height of the mirror actually might add a bit more instead of being hidden behind the dining table lamp from some perspectives! 😊

[@eilsyg]

Happy New Year Hills! Hope 2023 make all your home projects successful 🤩 So happy to have a new video to chill while having a cup of hot cocoa 😌

[@carolargentina]

I'm not good in some things and excellent in others. We live our lives as good as we can. I LOVE this concept, I'm a perfectionist . Thank you @cloudyhills ❤️

[@fifi5535]

That food looks so yummy!!😍

[@gillianresuello6073]

Ahhhhhh my safe and happy place 💓💓

[@sanam8819]

I take my decorations down in the last week of Jan 😊

[@beck1365]

You are so wrong about your decoration skills! Everything you’ve done in both your current home and the one before looks so lovely. I’d have you decorate my space in a heartbeat!!😊

[@cansueksioglu4713]

You inspire me to organize my home🫶🏻

[@ethernick]

I got the same books for decoration also in German, and it's also a challenge to read them, but overall Taschen are really great!

[@afongg]

Your home is goals!! Looks soooooo nice🥰

[@marilynloh]

Nice to see you again! 祝你：新年快乐，万事如意，身体健康！🐰 🐇 🐰

[@cloudyhills]

新年快乐，身体健康，心想事成 🥰

[@marilynloh]

谢了！😄

[@lovingsunshine3515]

I love your channel so much and you’re so talented to make and build your own furniture and decorations. Although I’m really curious to see how and where you organize your carpentry tools and painting supplies considering that you’re renting? Here in the US, we lack the storage closets in apartments except for the pantry and linen closet if we’re lucky.

So delightful 🤗

[@wendyrussell3760]

So excited to open you tube and see a video from you

[@laraangel6862]

proprio ieri ero entrata nel canale sperando in un video e riflettendo che era tanto che non pubblicavi e chiedendomi se andava tutto bene. Sono felice stamattina di avere questa bella sorpresa, come un amica che bussa alla porta il giorno dopo che abbiamo provato a passare noi ma non la abbiamo trovata 😘 mi piace tutto della tua casa, dei tuoi video, della serenità ed armonia che trasmettono

[@JesseEricksonSutton]

Love everything! My opinion I would’ve moved the mirror to the right side lol. But it still looked amazing. What color are your walls in your living space?

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

I was surprised to see the notification in my inbox around midnight for me, lol. I took down my Christmas tree either on New Year's Day or the day after. I was ready to get that "real estate" of the floor back, lol. It was also blocking me from getting to one side of my curtains, which had been crooked for weeks and was bothering the heck out of me.

[@cookiefighterr]

your cooking gives me ghibli vibes

[@heynahhh200]

I've been waiting for this. Thank you so much 💓

[@weiqingliang1365]

very aesthetic and cozy. Just one thing...maybe thats too much 老抽. you could marinate the chicken before cooking, pan fry the chicken with jinger can garlic first, then sizzle the wine in to make it fagrant. use less water but maybe starch to make the sause thicker. Really like your video, hope to see more!

[@ladywhistledown8571]

I really love your videos, they are so calming. :) Where ist this beautiful sofa in your living room from?

[@Orlagh]

I hate taking down all of my Christmas decor! It seems so cruel that in the coldest, longest, most depressing month we have to take away all the bright and shiny things!

[@deliciousbakingcooking7088]

Agreed 😔

[@amykirsch8019]

I always feel the same, and so I ended up deciding to leave a string of small white lights tacked up around the frame of my living room window all year, it’s very cheerful. 😊

[@aujkalenic4203]

Christmas comes in like a flood and then we drag our feet putting everything related to Christmas ⛄ away.........see you next year 🌲🔥🌠

[@tzinyernchong1939]

yum, loh kai 🍗 Happy New Year ❤

[@devnfoss]

Beautiful! Where is that wax warmer from? It’s stunning, and I’ve never seen anything like it!

[@mmcoookies]

I wish I could keep the Christmas tree for longer, but since I always have a real tree, I have to throw it out at some point. they collect the trees around Jan 10 for recycling (wood chips / compost), and if you miss it, you have to find a place that will take your tree, and bring it yourself, as they can't just go in the bio waste bin

[@cloudyhills]

I wish we could have a real tree! But we spent Christmas week at my in-laws so it's doesn't really make sense. But I guess the bright side is that we can keep our fake tree up for as long as we want 😆

[@mmcoookies]

@@cloudyhills your fake tree looks great too! :)

[@mitchykosan24]

Belated happy birthday 🎉🎂🎁💐🎈

Where is the lamp from? The one you added to the sink. It’s so cute ❤

That vintage standing lamp from Oma Lissy is gorgeous 😍 Do you know what kind of style the lamp is called? Asking for a friend 😁

[@kellyh4344]

I’m very much team take Christmas decorations down asap I don’t really understand the appeal of having them up from November- February. I always love watching you decorating because everything always looks amazing I’m hopeless at knowing what looks good

[@nenegrey2282]

6:20 where did you get that clock? 😃

[@PeacefulBreathing]

Hi! Beautiful video as usual ... I was wondering ... what color are your walls painted with?

[@jolu9817]

The christmastree Looks so real. Where did you get it?

[@cloudyhills]

Everlands Trees does really good faux xmas trees!

[@Terragiggles]

I had the same clock from 6:18. Eventually the plastic pieces will break off and the time will look cursed. :(

[@IpekZeoli-TurkishItalian]

U re back 😇

hi do you have a link for the work bench you used earlier in the vid to cut wood

[@laetitiabaschek6365]

where is the waxburner and chips from? such a great gift idea 🧸

It's from Scentchips, I think it's originally an American brand but it's also available in Europe!
