I so look forward to your videos Shelby!!! I felt so connected your grandpas Christmas tree. I too have lost my grandparents and I have the distinct honor of being the caretaker of many of their Christmas decorations. It warms my soul every time I pull them out. Your Victorian Christmas is simply magical!! ✨🎄
Thank you so much for your comment! In the U.S., we use ‘holidays’ this time of year to include all the celebrations-like Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and New Year’s-as a way to be inclusive of everyone’s traditions. I know ‘holiday’ in the UK typically means a vacation, so it’s always fun to see how language differs depending on where you’re from!
Your videos are just works of art. I really enjoyed being a part of decorating your home for Christmas. It was a special treat of the holiday season. The two of you make a great team.
Love that you still have your Grandads Christmas tree. I am guessing that’s a picture of him on your shelf maybe? I learned some lovely things about a Victorian Christmas I never knew…thank you for such a heartwarming video. x
Yes, that’s him. One of my favorite photos of him from when I slipped in a river in Colorado and sliced my foot on a rock. He had to carry me down the trail we were hiking on. Such a great Dandy (his grandpa name)
I enjoyed this video so much! ❤ So cozy and the way you embrace the spirit of each season is always so soothing and inspiring! Your home reminded me so much ofh the Christmas town Rothenburg ob der Tauber here in Germany. There's this historic Christmas store and museum called Käthe Wohlfahrt with plenty of vintage inspired decoration. I think you would love it! 🎄💫
Oh my gosh! I do and have always wanted to travel to Germany for the holidays. You’re absolutely right, I would probably love it 😍 thank you so much for watching this video!
I love you crafts like Victorian paper chains is sou elegant in they gorgeous ,and I love your Christmas decor style simple elegant in beautiful ,thank you for you D I Y Christmas decoration inspiration ideas happy holiday🌲🌲🌲🌲
You have impeccable taste, my dear! Between the Christopher Radke ornaments and the Mark Roberts fairies I spied on your bookshelves paired with the beautiful handmade paper and dried fruit garlands, your style is most elegant. Not to mention how effortlessly you put it all together. Your channel is such a pleasure to watch ❤
Shelby, thank you so much for a truly delightful video showcasing your amazing talent for decorating and capturing the essence of a personal and meaningful Christmas. It was such a joy to watch. I absolutely love all your DIY projects. And your pot roast dinner brought back wonderful memories. Enjoy your beautiful new rings!
Yes, we must embrace the Victorian Christmas decor, I just love it!..you have decorated your home very nicely ❤ 🎅🤶 Thanks for the inspiration. I make gifts, such as cookies or other edibles things and give them to my local Mail-lady, the gardener and the people I see in my local shops, nothing like sharing with those around us😊
That’s so wonderful that you take the time to make gifts for people around your community. I’m sure that just warms your heart. I love it! Thank you for inspiring me as well!
Thanks for a beautiful video- i love it❤ Nice idea with the snackbar for the deliveries. The pot roast looks delicious. Take care and Happy Thanksgiving for you and your family and all here🥧🦃🧡
Just like your tree brings back memories of your Grandfather, your pot roast brought back memories of my Mom so thank you for sharing the recipe. Love, love ❤️ all your decorated home 🏠 and DIY’s. great video. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
absolutely gorgeous video! I always look forward to seeing your work :) This year I also have decided to decorate my tree victorian style and for the first time actually got a real christmas tree and I couldn't be happier . Happy holiday season Shelby to you and your family. Much love from the UK 🥰
So lovely! I’m finally allowing myself to go further with decorating this year. I think next year I’ll go even more maximalist! Also as an Irish person it’s so interesting to see your recipe- to me that’s a stew! Beautiful bowls too. Merry Christmas!
I go back in forth (in my mind - because my husband loves Christmas, so we have to go all out each year) on whether or not I want to keep it minimal or not. Some years it looks tacky to me in bad ways and then other years I’m totally for the maximalism. I suppose it depends on how my year is going 😅 and yes, you’re totally right - this ended up more like a stew but deep down, the meat tastes the same as what it would if it were technically a roast. So tomato, to-ma-to! Haha Merry Christmas to you!
You had me at pot roast, lost me at peas!! lol New subscriber, loving what I see! I'm making paper chains this year also! Be on the lookout for wallpaper for your chain. I found pieces of a black & white toile paper, the chain is gorgeous!!
Oh and your paintings are magical! I wish I had the talent to paint (I can barely draw a stick figure which is especially sad bc my dad was a wonderful painter/artist 😅).
Be still my Christmas-loving heart! This video is absolutely magical! Shelby, you put such wonderful style, charm, and sentimentality in all things cozy. I’m here for all of it! Plus, your videography is always stunning, my goodness. My awe for your gifts runs deep and I adore this beautiful nod to Victorian Christmas that I can’t wait to watch again. Brava!!!! Merry, Merry!! 🎄❤️🎄
I really look forward to your videos and just loved how you turned your home into such a beautiful Christmas scene. Warms my heart to see your husband decorating with you! Enjoy this magical time
Your home looks so beautiful. I love the charm and coziness. Harkening back to Christmases of Victorian times is wonderful. A simpler time is just what we need right now. Take care.
Thank you for such a lovely video Shelby. The gesture to the delivery people was just grand. I bet that it made them happy and appreciated. I just found your channel and subscribed.
Aw, thank you so much! I'm so glad you found my channel and subscribed! ❤️ my mail lady actually told me yesterday how much she appreciates it, and I see a few of the delivery drivers on my ring doorbell look back and wave thanks. Their job really is so tough!
Such a lovely way to bring Victorian charm into the holiday season! The DIY ideas like the paper chains and orange garlands add such a nostalgic, cozy touch. The gold-framed motifs for the tree are a beautiful idea too.
My whole home is Victorian, I live an in an apartment almost like a duplex, basically could be it's own little house if not connected to the blank area to the next person's place, used to be an old lumber mill, antique doors, I decorate in Victorian antiques I have collected over the past twenty years, I'm 42, I went to yard sales on weekends though out my childhood, I have everything decorated Victorian/ Edwardian antique, I leave the antique as is, not fond of people painting beautiful Victorian wood pieces or destroying them for something more modern. I study the Eras and the fashion, getting into Victorian things is very interesting, maybe this will kick off for you and you'll love it as much as I have all these years. The only thing I really still want is a real Victorian home, but on a budget, right decorations, you can make it feel how you want it to.
Your home sounds absolutely lovely and so thoughtfully curated! I also love Victorian and Edwardian styles and appreciate the charm of leaving antiques in their original state. Like you, I’m not a fan of painting over beautiful old wood pieces unless they’re in really poor condition and in need of restoration to bring them back to life. It’s inspiring to hear about your dedication to this aesthetic, it truly shows how much you treasure the era!
I don’t unfortunately! I tried to google image search them to see where they could be purchased but nothing came up. I bought these from Home Goods about 2 months ago. They were black and I painted them gold with spray paint.
Oh! I’ll take a few photos and post them! 😆 I get so caught up with life and other things that I forget to be a good social media person lol They will also make an appearance in my upcoming video, so keep your eyes peeled!
Thank you! It’s just white watercolor. I wait until the other layers are dry and go in with a less watered down white and add it in layers. Sometimes I use a watered down acrylic. 😊
lol you’re right! You caught me 😆 I swear I could not find any oranges in the stores near me, it was the strangest thing. But for the purpose of this video I just had to go with what it was supposed to be.
The best part of the video for me is your husband helping you. That would be a dream come true. More of a miracle.
Aw, thank you! He’s such a good sport about helping me, even when I come up with my wild ideas. Hoping he stays this way 😅
What a nice treat for the hardworking delivery drivers.🎄
They seem to really enjoy it 😊
Thank you for sharing this wonderful Christmas decorating 🎅🤶 Your kindness to the Delivery Drivers was the best.
I don’t even have to watch this all the way through to know I’ll love it! 💙💙💙 Just made my day.
Haha I love this comment! 😊
@ just as I thought…excellent video. And inspiring too! *runs off to make paper chains*
Enjoyed this video SO much ! You have a lot of beautiful Christmas decor !!!! 🌲 🎄 🌲 🎄

This makes me so happy! Thank you. While they may not be with us they’re never truly gone 😌
Beautiful video❤. For people on the British isles "Holidays" is in the summer when everyone goes on holiday. We generally just call it Christmas 🎄

Every touch in your home is breathtaking. You have inspired me.
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you’ve been inspired 🤩
You are so talented! I'm always in awe of anyone who can paint so lovely!
Thank you very much! It takes a lot of practice, I’m still learning every time I paint 😅
Your paintings are lovely!
The little paintings are so beautiful!!
Thank you! They were so much fun to make! 😊
Love the Joni Mitchell music too🎶🎵You are a gem.
It’s such a wonderful cover of hers! Thank you!

That’s so lovely to hear! Thank you so much. I’m happy you enjoyed it!
@shelbyscottage Hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving
Oh I love the decore you made! I may need to make some chains as well. Great ideas
They are so simple to make and add such a festive touch!
You had me at pot roast, lost me at peas!! lol New subscriber, loving what I see! I'm making paper chains this year also! Be on the lookout for wallpaper for your chain. I found pieces of a black & white toile paper, the chain is gorgeous!!
😆 I hear you! They’re definitely optional, they just add such wonderful color! Wallpaper is such a great idea! Thanks for subscribing!
FYI A good heavy wrapping paper also works for paper chains .
I love your decor !!! So festive
That’s a great tip! I’ll have to try that!
Very beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
So sweet! Love your generosity. God’s Grace and Merry Christmas.🎁🎄
Thank you so much! I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!
Oh and your paintings are magical! I wish I had the talent to paint (I can barely draw a stick figure which is especially sad bc my dad was a wonderful painter/artist 😅).
Aw, thank you! You'll be surprised what you can do with a little practice 😊
Be still my Christmas-loving heart! This video is absolutely magical! Shelby, you put such wonderful style, charm, and sentimentality in all things cozy. I’m here for all of it!

I really look forward to your videos and just loved how you turned your home into such a beautiful Christmas scene. Warms my heart to see your husband decorating with you! Enjoy this magical time
That makes me so happy to hear! 🎄
Love the simplicity and cozy feel to your decorations. Many of the 2024 Christmas decorated homes are overwhelming with clutter and sameness.
I agree! I love the vintage holiday look and feel.
Beautiful!! What a magical video!! 🍁🫶🏻
Thank you so much!
Your home looks so beautiful. I love the charm and coziness. Harkening back to Christmases of Victorian times is wonderful. A simpler time is just what we need right now. Take care.
Thank you so much! You’re absolutely right, we need simpler times right now. Happy Holidays to you!

I adored every single thing in this video! You made my heart happy! 🎄🕯❄
I’m so happy you enjoyed this video! ❤️ Happy Holidays to you!
You have wonderful decorating ideas! The chains look amazing!
I'm so glad you liked them! They really make the room feel extra festive.
great video 💖
Thank you! 🙏 ❤️
Great video loved the paper chains
Thank you! They make the room feel even cozier.
Beautiful home. I love all the Victorian inspired decorations, especially the hand painted pictures ornaments! Happy Holidays!
I’m so glad you liked them! They were really fun to make. 😊
What a sweet video, everything looks lovely ❤️
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
I absolutely loved the long Santa head that you hung on the wall! Can you tell us where you found it? Thanks for a great video, very inspiring! 😊
Thank you! Isn’t he just the coolest?! It’s made out of styrofoam and I found it at an antique mall

Just what I needed ❤️
❤️ 🎄
I really enjoyed this! I’m in love with your cat bookends. Do you have a link for them? 😊🤍
I don’t unfortunately! I tried to google image search them to see where they could be purchased but nothing came up. I bought these from Home Goods about 2 months ago. They were black and I painted them gold with spray paint.
Thank you!
I love Victoria ❤ Hermosa y Elegante ❤️ Gloria a Dios Aleluya ❤ casa Victoria ❤ Christmas ❤ Amén 💋🙏 USA ❤🙏🏆💋❤❤️
Love it. Can you link the camera you use in your storefront please and thank you.
Sure! Just created a list in my storefront. It should be up today at some point. 😊
I would love to see the mini watercolour paintings you did for your tree. I looked on your Instagram and didn't see them.
Oh! I’ll take a few photos and post them! 😆 I get so caught up with life and other things that I forget to be a good social media person lol
They will also make an appearance in my upcoming video, so keep your eyes peeled!
@shelbyscottage thank you
What are you using to add the white over your watercolor? They look fantastic!
Thank you! It’s just white watercolor. I wait until the other layers are dry and go in with a less watered down white and add it in layers. Sometimes I use a watered down acrylic. 😊
Your shirt is so beautiful! Where did you get it from?
Thank you so much! I got very lucky and found it in a thrift store.
Those oranges look a lot like grapefruit.
Good eye because they are. But I don’t think that totally matters in the scheme of my things 😆
Could you add the link for those little ornament frames??
The link is in the description of this video it’s the first link under the “My Amazon Storefront” section 😊
Where did you get those candle lights on your fireplace that look like real fire?
The sconces were here when we moved in but the bulbs I found on Amazon, I just typed in flickering night light bulbs 😊
💖💖💖
It's not super cold here 😢😕
It’s not cold here either, it’s supposed to hit almost 80°F here today and then tomorrow dips down into the 50s!
✨✨✨✨
Hi your decorations are looking good. But the next time you are on a ladder please don't put siccors in your back pocket...love your videos.
Thank you so much for the reminder! Safety first - I’ll be sure to avoid the back-pocket scissors next time. I’m so glad you’re enjoying the videos!
Wait… I just watched the entire video and could not see me on a ladder with any scissors in my pocket. Where did you see this?
Grapefruits
Correct. They’re grapefruits.
Are you sure that is an orange? It looks like a grapefruit.
Could be a blood orange.
@ it is one hundred percent a grapefruit without a doubt.
lol you’re right! You caught me 😆 I swear I could not find any oranges in the stores near me, it was the strangest thing. But for the purpose of this video I just had to go with what it was supposed to be.
