Decorating our Outdoor Fireplace for Fall! 🍂🍁// Garden Answer

[@TheChiramu]

Some pretty blankets might be great there too! Especially with the cold :D.

[@lblak59]

How quaint.....I think we’re all waiting for an invite to sit by the fireplace!😁love this space.....well done.

[@wind571evergreen]

It would be fun to incorporate some footage of you actually using the space with the fire. Fun times!!! ☕🌰🍁🍷

[@radhikam2401]

My compliments to the hostess with the mostest charm. The space looks so inviting. Kudos to the videography/editing team. Quality is insane!

[@thomasjackson5610]

I don’t get why people thumbs down you’re videos!!! You’re so sweet!!

[@Sun-Soul]

That looks wonderful! So cozy! You know, if you want to give the illusion of more space, you could sit the ottomans side by side in front of the fireplace like a little bench. It will give more leg room around the chairs and the colder guests can swipe that spot right away!😊 I dream of living on such a lovely property. What a gift you have! Thank you for sharing it with us! 💕

[@susanwest7258]

You REALLY hit it out of the park with your new editor! I already LOVE your videos, but that amazing editing makes them crazy great to watch. As always, your style, taste, and work ethic are highly motivating! Thank you for sharing so much with me/us/the world.

[@catherineholcomb4488]

I felt a little badly knowing how many comments I had been reading all sending compliments to Aaron on his editing game changing and then we found out it wasn't him. I hope his feelings weren't hurt reading those all the time.

[@Jack-oc2xq]

catherine Holcomb I think he still does some editing, the hired editor is just to take the weight off

[@heathermelanson5492]

This is my favorite part of your garden. I love that fireplace!! I keep showing it to my boyfriend each time I see it. It is my dream spot. I could sit there all day with a fire going. I'll be right over!! :)

[@audreywy1743]

I love your "romancing the ordinary" ideas! Thanks for sharing.

[@docmarmalade5224]

Audrey GFl Yes, I thought the same thing. It reminds me of hygge practiced by Swedes and Danes.

[@kathrynelkin1519]

Gorgeous! I live vicariously through your garden videos.😊

[@dawndovell3975]

So very inviting and comfy! Love how you created a space that is warm and cozy to enjoy on a chilly night. Who wouldn't want to make s'mores and enjoy the snow in a space like that!

[@dotthomas5131]

You always do things with passion and it shows

[@rspruill1422]

That looks like a magazine cover for home and gardens!! Everything is so.... I can't even put into words. I guess.... "eclectic" - so beautiful! I know I can't be the first person to say this so let me just be added to the list of viewers who are requesting a calendar - this would be a great Fall image for November. I love the way you recycle whether it's plants, flowers or furniture☺️😉 Thanks for, as you say.... "romancing the ordinary" I love that phrase🥰😍 Thank you sharing your creativity!

A calendar is a great suggestion !

Your fireplace area is so charming and inviting, I could sit there for hours enjoying the moment. You have a beautiful decorating style, 'Romancing the Ordinary, which is both elegant and cozy. I love that you talk about your mom in your videos, especially the ideas you got from her.

[@kaseyhulton3185]

Gorgeous! I saw this post on Instagram or Facebook that said you can put a pine cone in a pot with soil and a tree will sprouts. Have you ever heard of this happening successfully? I think I’m going to have my kids try because it sounds fun! Love the ideas in this video!

[@deannklopman8235]

Absolutely beautiful! Unfortunately for me moving from State to state every 2-3 years (military life) I can't accumulate decorations as much. So I'll watch you instead and dream lol your videos inspire me for one day having a place of my own. Thank you.

[@Bamboo4U2]

There's a youtube gardening channel, husband and wife team, he's in the military and they just had to move so they dug up all their yard plants, potted 'em and took them with them to their new state. Have you seen their channel? Garden Obsessions?

Lovely coffee with Laura and I would enjoy having coffee in that area as well as smore's!!! What fun you have in all the different areas of your property! Your eye for decorating is wonderful and you could certainly have a career as a decorator should you ever need something different to do!!! Love the set for the coffee and smore's, thank you for sharing your ideas!

[@chezgirlrose7654]

Laura I have a question for you ... do the plants around the fireplace burn from the heat coming off the fireplace ... btw that looks stunning 💕🌺💕

[@dusoares27]

I also thought about that. Do plants suffer being close to a heater/fireplace?

[@jenniferlaramee2471]

I was also wondering plants and about the squash on the mantle. Would they get ruined from the heat?

[@Bamboo4U2]

@@jenniferlaramee2471 She'll find out, lol.

[@catherineholcomb4488]

Had the same thought

[@melissapaul3348]

I LOVE all of it, but agree with Laura, that the big grass on that table would look dramatic and wonderful until the fire is lit. I can imagine it will be moved, for possible heat issues but also, so all guests can see the fire and hearth. Perhaps a console or bar cart? can be placed in another focal point allowing the big arrangement to be seen on those days the fire is lit?

[@robingrunzweig1880]

wow... what a cozy place!! i LOVE it... and i love that you will share all of this with your friends, family, and especially Aaron and Benjamin... what memories!!! it's just beautiful!!!

[@holly_kay5570]

This area is really lovely and I bet it feels wonderful to be surrounded by things you grew. Would you ever do a video on growing Boxwood plants, and similar plants? I love the 3 little ones on your fireplace and all around your place, the hedges are so pretty and they help create different areas. I'd love to know more about the plants, which ones to select, how long they take to grow, how to prune them, and how they tolerate hot sun in high desert conditions, and cold. Thanks for all you do--I'm always so excited to see your videos--and this was a nice surprise on Saturday morning--how thrilling!

[@Bamboo4U2]

She's done tons of videos on all different types of boxwoods.

I love the outdoor spaces to sit and enjoy the gardens. When you invest so much time and energy you should find spaces to relax and enjoy. Here in the south (zone 8) we can enjoy spaces like this almost year round so I’m glad that you incorporated this into a video. I’ve always collected antique pieces and end of season sale items to create lovely layered looks. Thanks for sharing this!!

Atlanta here...FINALLY done with summer, and seem thrown into much colder weather. 54, high today, and, finally, rain. But, I completely understand decorating now. And, I now hope to get perennials in that have lounged in pots during a long, hot summer. Shovel coming out this coming week!

[@SweetStuffOnMonarchLane]

Aaron needed his drone to get over the top of that dried arrangement at 8:00! Lol! Just kiddin'! It's all beautiful and inviting, and I love it! Especially love how proud you are of what you grew and are now putting to use. "Romancing the ordinary" with the s'mores tray...pretty cool, too!

I love this so much. It’s still 90 in southern California but watching fall stuff makes me have hope it’ll get colder soon

[@rae1067]

Me too. I'm loving the cool weather here. Finally in 70's-80's I'm always shocked at "snow" being mentioned this early. Doesn't even get freezing at nights for another month or two. What is snow? LOL. Hope it cools down for you where you're at.

[@lovelyladygodbless143]

Love it nice place to chill with family's and friends very nice done Laura and Aron have a lovely weekend guys stay blessed 👍🤗♥️🌾

[@hollyhasegawa6095]

Oh my goodness Laura you have such a natural knack for decorating and making anything beautiful. I really love this area it has such a fall vibe and I can only imagine how much fun it must be to enjoy this area when it's cold and have a warm cozy fire. You are so lucky that your temperatures are still enjoyable, I live in Idaho and it has been bitter cold, and the other day it rained and then snowed, it has melted and is just cold, with the highs no more than mid 50's and the lows below 25 and one day dropping to 19. This was such a fun video that makes me want to decorate more but still keep in mind that where I live it will probably freeze. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful video, I hope you have a wonderful weekend, bye for now.

[@kathleenduggan3005]

Looks just lovely. Question and comment on future plants. Not sure but haven’t seen and wonder if you would plant pampas grass or sumac for height and decorating? Flowering pink almond bush for spring color and tobacco plant for summer because they are fun and smell great and trumpet fine? So enjoy all you do.

[@maynardgreenhouse]

I love that you use the fruits of your labor. I too would love to see a quick clip of this area being used during those cold nights. Also spotted my favorite coffee...illys......never doubted you had great taste !

Fall pruning- when (and how ) do you cut back your roses, butterfly bushes, roses of sharon, hydrangeas, etc? I’m in zone 9a. Also how should I store my daffodils, tulips, dahlias, etc and when do I replant? Too cold here to over winter the dahlias and too warm for most bulbs to really perform. LOVE your Q&A videos!!
