Would love to know where the blanket is from that your doggie was on on the couch?

I love the beautiful mirror leaning against the wall in the dining area.

[@lovelymusings1]

You offered some really good hosting tips. I would love to know or see how you handle meals for your guests as well as the cleaning process afterwards. Also, I love the new chairs and appreciate all of the interesting and helpful Amazon finds you incorporate into your videos.

[@vickihallee]

Oh my gosh, I love this video! I love switching and rearranging things in my house and this was so much fun to watch.😊

[@suziemiller6712]

Merry Christmas Ashley, Chase and Savannah! I absolutely love your cleaning and decorating videos. Your house is so beautiful.

[@suepiersma5686]

I also host the majority of parties. I agree being prepared is very beneficial. Remember you are doing it to celebrate Christmas. When it arrives you are done prepping. Allow yourself to be present. Enjoy all your efforts. Enjoy your guests. Allow yourself to participate in the celebration. Merry Christmas. 🎄🎄

[@TilVacuumDoUsPart]

Thank you for the reminder and Merry Christmas!

[@pamelajohnson4989]

Your house is beautiful! ❤ You are such a great hostess thinking of details that seem small, but make for greater ease later. I bet your guests feel very welcomed and comfortable in your home. Merry Christmas Ashley, Chase, and Savannah! 🌲❤️🌲❤️🌲

[@cathymalone5650]

Hi Ashley, I just love your home. It is so cozy and beautiful. I often love to change things around in my home, too. It is nice to refresh the look. I hope you all have a wonderful new year!

[@glendashine9468]

I love how you showed trying and changing the coffee table decor! Sometimes I feel frustrated that I don’t have an instant vision of how it should be.

[@Maria_DiCarlucci]

Thank you for all the inspirational videos throughout the year Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and best wishes for the New Year!

[@carriekay5987]

Love the very classy new chairs, they look so much more comfortable than the old ones❣

[@debbic02]

Wishing Ashley, Chase, Savanna and the boys a very merry Christmas... Excited to see what is in store for 2024!! 🎄

[@chrissyish4945]

You should add pine cones to the bowl on the coffee table and or those lil cherrys to add pop of color to tie in with the wreath you have hangin in the front room 🎄🥂

[@cindywhitehead92]

Love the chairs! I also love neutrals as well. Some people think you MUST have color. I totally understand the calm I get from no color. 🤎🖤🩶

[@mjrh45]

The dining area looks so much better now that you have added the new rug and chairs. May you and your family have a blessed Christmas.

[@lezbounin2289]

Love everything you’ve done to your dining room ❤ Your bucket list sounds like mine….for Christmas I asked for Amazon, Homegoods and Hobby Lobby gift cards so I can get some new/different decor pieces for our condo! Enjoy your holidays! Peace and love from Fishers, Indiana!

[@GlimmerOfCrystal]

Way to end the year with a bang Ashey! I love how the dining room turned out and the coffee table looks great! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and the whole family!!!

[@akiaclark7990]

Love the new chairs and especially the little clap when you got the final chair. That’s something I’d do in excitement. ❤

[@southgoesnorthwest]

This was the video i needed today. The cleaning, the preparing. 🥰 Happy holidays. See you next year.

[@OurJourneyThroughLife]

Loving the new chairs! I think adding slightly darker colored curtains in the dining room would elevate it even more. Either way, it looks stunning 😍 missing the red pillows over here 🙋‍♀️😂 gift wrap is soooo beautiful too! Merry Christmas from Cali 🎄

[@cooky75015]

I agree. Adding warm colours will make it very chic. Chairs are definitely nice for that space. Was not a fan of the previous ones 💕

[@cheriechapman76]

I love the new chairs. You may wish you had gotten a larger rug so when you are actually sitting at the table the wheels on the chairs are still on the rug. This wheels may dig into your floors as the body weight and wheels roll across it.

[@darlaburnett8666]

Good morning, George and Tyger!,! I love the beginning of this video is he standing there and realizes oh hi mom, hi everybody and then Tyger jumps in

[@Faithy100]

Couldn't ask for better hosts...and I bet all your guests are never in any hurry to leave. Great idea with the new chairs and rug. Vacuuming the drawers isn't strange lol..we do it. Doesn't take long for crumbs to sneak in them! You are ahead of the cleaning curve as usual! And your boys are looking as cute as ever. Thanks so much Ashley. I wish you all a joyful, healthy, safe, Merry Christmas and all the same in the coming year. 🎄 Love you guys. ❤ And try not to scratch that "itch" LOL!!!

Great video today! Love a little cleaning and decorating with an itch to switch all in one…an Ashley original. Your new dining chairs look wonderful with your table…the scale is just right now. The rug looks sweet too! It’s coming together. Congrats! 😊

[@TilVacuumDoUsPart]

Yay! Thank you!

I found too if you use like finish or another brand of spot remover in the dishwasher it helps with spots

[@typicalc]

Beautiful chairs!!! I love the idea of having a decor cabinet for random change ups - I’ll pocket that idea for after Christmas.

[@refahussain]

You know Ashley it’s crazy I had the whole light table with black chairs just like yours but after a year of having them I also switched to chairs like yours and mines comes in on the 30th of this month. So excited!! You live once so treat yourself if u can

[@TilVacuumDoUsPart]

That’s great, I hope you love them!

[@lesliedawson7364]

For my pot holders I swapped over to silicone ones. That way if they get dirty I can just toss in the dishwasher and they don’t fall apart I even got pretty design silicone trivets

[@carolfinn4027]

Love, love the chairs! Tiger.😉 So nice to have a handy check list for prepping. Thank you.

[@mzdiamond9531]

Awe your house is beautiful! I love how you take time and make sure every part of your home is in order. I don't think you're over doing it either. I see a woman that has been blessed with a home and is keeping it clean and neat. Remember cleanliness is next to Godliness. Continue to take of your blessings and I pray that God keeps on blessing you and your family! Wednesday is my birthday! Please let there be a bonus!!😂😂 God bless! From my home to yours, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!❤🙏🏾🎄

[@elizabethsydnor5247]

Yes, Ashley values what God has blessed them with, and she takes optimal care of it all!

[@sondrad1839]

Love your table and new chairs. Looks awesome. Also like the coffee table…gave me an idea. I like that the bowl is low so you can still see. I have a vase and once I put greenery in it it’s too high for conversation. ❤

[@cynthia2233]

I have high quality Stainless Steel flatware. I have noticed that if I don't hand wash (especially the knives) BEFORE I put them in the dishwasher, they have a dirty looking 'stain' on them when they come out. Thank you for a few reminders, I need to check my potholders and soap dispensers! Have a wonderful time with your family!

[@rosehopkins1668]

Sorry for the late response, but try some lemon juice to remove the spots and stains on your silverware. I hope it helps. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️

Ashley it's beautiful your new rug for the dinning room, but honestly most of us can't afford to get a carpet for 899 when i looked i almost died here in Canada the same catpet Amazon took me straight there and it was 899 dollars it's crazy! The way things are so hard to survive not to many people can afford this rug but its beautiful we the viewers only wish lol but i love your chairs they are beautiful you have amazing taste no question Ashley your house looks beautiful ❤ Ashley i get those water marks to it's because we are on a well but i dry them off well with the dish towel and they come nice and clean!!

Love the new dinning room chairs, so nice. The centre piece on the coffee table looks great.

My silver colored flatware has done that too. We have hard water and it has spots on it that make me crazy too. They always looked dirty. I was planning on getting shiny black ones instead. Now I'm not sure. I've soaked mine in vinegar and it helped somewhat.
