I don't generally comment, but today I noticed something that I must acknowledge. You are always so willing to share your joy with us, and I have to thank you for that. Sometimes I forget that life can be joy filled. Thank you for reminding me.
Hi Chelsea I live in Germany and think it's great that you make Spätzle. You can make the Spätzle mixture a little, not much, thinner. To make your work easier, you can place the Spätzle press on the edge of the pot and then press it. What's also super delicious is frying the spaetzle in butter and sprinkling with cinnamon and sugar. Warm greetings from Germany Claudia
I grew up in Bavaria, Germany. We make German Spaetzle with water and not with milk and ate it with roast and gravy or made Cheese-Spaetzle. It is like a casserole with layers of Spaetzle and cheese and on top end with a layer of cheese, bake it in the oven for around 30 minutes. We serve it with potato salad. So yummy :)
Hi Chelsea, I from southern Indiana and your husband's name Dan and ranch sounds the same but pasta is definitely different from how we pronounce it here. I do watch other videos where they live in Canada and your pronunciation is how they say pasta. Definitely a regional difference but nothing to be concerned about. I really enjoy your videos, and very nice new furniture. It really brightens up the room.
Hi, I'm from Svabia in Bavaria. We made Spätzle traditional with water, we top our Cheese-Spätzle = Käss-Spätzle with fried Onion and serve it with Cucumber-Salad. But we prefer Knöpfe-Spätzle. Thank you for this Video.
Thanks to this video, you have identified a “mystery” item in my mother’s collection of kitchenware. She passed away when I was 16. I’m 80, now. All these decades I’ve kept this odd thing that looked to me like a press for a giant heads of garlic (whole head…not clove 😂). Will wonders never cease. This was wonderful! 👌. So happens her father’s family were from Germany.😅.
I am a retired Drama teacher who taught in high school in South Africa. I live and taught in schools in Durban. When I was studying Drama our lecturer taught us never to be phased by any persons accent, it is the rich tapestry of who you are as a person and reflects where you come from, so everyone who listens to you will know where you are from and there is no real right way to say anything unless you want to be phonetically correct. I enjoy your channel and I listen to you with great joy.
Hey Chelsea, it is pronounced different, somethinglike Shpezzle(Sh as in shoe, pe as in pepper, zz as in pizza and le as in lemon) It comes from the southern region Swabia in Germany. It is delicious also as a sidedish for lentil stew and wurst
Oh, and the machine has some „teeth“ on the side opposite to the handles, so you can lean it on the pot, like you would put a wooden spoon on the diagonal of the pot. This way is essier to push. And I would make the dough a bit runnier.
Chelsea, how lucky you are to have the keepsakes from your great grandmother. How cool is it that your great grandmother not only made the dance outfits but drew them out. Your grandmother obviously had her gift of the arts. And I think you do as well. It is an art to cook and bake with love. It is an art to can all your own food and it is an art to manage a home the way you do. All gifts from your grandmother. Xoxo Michelle
You could probably use that spätzle maker as a ricer for mashed potatoes, too! Had to add that the living room looks gorgeous! Anyone would be lucky to have such a pretty and warmly inviting room for their family to rest and enjoy each other in at the end of a long day. Congratulations!
Your furniture is absolutely beautiful and lightens up that space hugely. Never realised your lounge was that big. Really gorgeous and congrats on the new furniture. The kitchen cupboards being lighter flow so well with the furniture. Huge difference.
I love your accent ( I’m from Michigan) and just hear Canadian pronunciation. Our colloquial differences are a treasure. I love your new furniture and you family heirlooms. What a wonderful synopsis of your family’s history. It’s so charming that you love it so. So many people don’t appreciate their history.
Hi, I'm in NE Texas, born and raised for almost 65 years and I've been told I have a heavy southern accent. My brothers name is Dan and when you say it, I hear Dan. I also hear ranch clearly. Just your Canadian way of saying pasta (I say pausta) and you say house (I say howse) and about sounds like you're saying aboot, lol, there's some others but I can't think of them now. But I love listening to you! I have an old friend from Canada and I love how she pronounces words differently. It's what makes the world go round, eh? 😊 Had to come back and edit to say your living room is beautiful!!! I love it! And the heirlooms, wow! How amazing to have such treasures! I have my mom's first Bible. It is very special to me.
I lived in Germany for 3 years, many years ago. The people actually encouraged me to speak their language ; even if I didn't pronounce it correctly . They cared more about my attempt to try vs getting it right ❤
It’s wonderful that your moms gifting thing to y’all while she’s still here on earth. That way you and your children can ask questions and get the stories behind the heirlooms. It’s a wonderful gift in hearing the history from her.
I love that you are a Canadian channel in the sea of American UA-cam (absolutely no offence to all the wonderful American content creators I watch), as it’s so refreshing to have someone coming from a Canadian perspective. Your living room looks amazing 💕!!
Oh girl....that book of drawings...priceless. Take pictures of each page. Then you can have certain pictures made up on canvas print to decorate a little grand daughter's room. With the pictures in your camera make each of your children a complete little book on shutterfly. The furniture is very cozy looking. Makes you want to drop by and visit. Looking forward to that rooster lamp...my weakness...lamps.
Love everything about this video, the food, the new furniture (I love plaid too), and especially the book of your Great Grandmother’s dance costumes 🥹❤️🥹
I am from the Northeast and you are NOT saying anything incorrectly! Every region has a right to pronounce the way that works for them. To my ears you sound Canadian and thats absolutely ok! I doubt someone in the South would like to be told by a New Yorker that they are pronouncing words incorrectly and to change the way they speak, and vice versa. You do you!
What a comfortable and inviting living room. I can see you, with a fire, enjoying your tea, and reading through your vintage recipe books, planning your next video for us! Thank you so much for being in my life! ❤️
I'm from Massachusetts, and I hear and understand your pronounce, and I absolutely loved your smile showing us your new living room, Dan was right 😂😂 no more brown, your new living room fits perfectly with your personality, light and bright ❤
The living room is absolutely beautiful and the keepsake cabinet is a wonderful heirloom. You clearly follow in a tradition of talented, creative women. Thank you for sharing.
One of my most treasured possessions is the Bible my grandparents used daily. The margins and any extra pages are filled with dates,notes and comments about special scriptures. I love reading them and trying to imagine why certain passages were so special to them. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Don’t change how you say words. We each speak in different dialects depending on where we grew up and where we live now. We are uniquely made by God as His special treasure . A-Ohio
Chelsea, the costume book is so precious. The little black dress and the soilder outfit is what Shirley Temple wore in some of her movies. How neat! Priceless to you I know.
I love the way we hear things differently. I grew up in New Hampshire, but live in Florida now. All of my kids are born and raised down here. My oldest hears it "Dahn" and "Raunch" but me and my middle hear it Dan and Ranch.
I have watched you for many years. And I love your videos so much! You are so happy and kind. Thank you. I absolutely LOVE your new furniture. You should definitely buy another chair. You totally have the room.❤
Having finished the video, I’m so happy for you for your new living room-having “your” space makes such a difference! Also, I think you must take after your great-grandmother! The care and attention she put into loving her family and using that as her creative outlet is a trait you definitely share 😊
Oh my word Chelsea, it's so beautiful!! Your joy makes my heart happy too. I'm also happy you didn't do the brown again. 😂 Great job Dan!! ❤ Enjoy your beautiful new space. Love, hugs and blessings always my sweet friend. ~Lisa
How beautiful! Light furniture balances the darker wood perfectly and the lamps ❤ having family heirlooms in the room makes it so cozy and being able to glance at them keeps them close to your heart! You did a fabulous job!❤❤❤
I am extremely deaf and use very loud Bluetooth headbands to watch utube. Even then, God help me if there’s no captioning! That being said, your speaking/enunciation is so precise, I don’t have to struggle to understand you. It makes it very relaxing to listen. I sang with Sweet Adeline’s womens barbershop for over a decade, and they stress vowels and pronunciation. That’s what I get from you naturally 😊 And your spatzle reminds me of what we called egg rivels growing up. We always had them in our potato soup…always made with water, not milk.
I'm originally from Michigan. My name is "Jan" but many people from or in other states think I'm saying "Jane." Your soap is so pretty...reminds me of white chocolate 😋 And your new furniture is lovely...really brightens up the room! Your great-grandmother's book of your grandmother's costumes is priceless😍
I really like the furniture and the colours, my style of things. The book of your grandma’s dancing outfits is just too precious. Glad you can place it in a special cabinet. Just wonderful.
I love your Canadian accent and your channel! For fun, I looked up Spatzle (I am not able to add the umlaut above the letter a on the comment section here) on Google translate and the word is pronounced Schpetz-luh. There is a “sound” icon when you type in the German word so you can click on that icon to hear it. Check it out if you’re interested. 😊 It looks delicious! 😋😋😋
My Mom was German. That kitchen item was called a potato ricer in our family. We made spaetzle as a looser dough. We put the dough on a dampened wooden cutting board and cut pieces into the boiling water. Think of misshapened marbles. We browned bread crumbs in butter and tossed with the spaetzle, which was our favorite way to eat it.
I have lived in Virginia since birth and live near rural areas with country accents and my mom had a hint of northern accent her family originated from Ohio. So, when you say roof, instead of smooth sound on the vowels yours is like a hard sound. It cracks me up because I was watching another homestead style youtuber and when he installed his solar system, he said it how you do. I have never laughed so hard for over 30 minutes. My mom's mother said metal and bottle with a "d" instead of "t", I would always get the look from mom when I started to giggle. As always thank you for sharing your world so I can escape mine for a few. Hope you and your family are healthy and happy.
So I grew up in Germany, my mom was German and my eldest brother still lives there. The correct pronunciation is spa(long A)tzle( pronounced la). But you are so cool who cares how you pronounce it. I have never seen this product used as a spätzle maker, only as a ricer for potatoes. That doesn’t mean anything. If you Google Spätzle makers, they will show you what is usually used. Love you!
Spetzla fried with onions. Then after it cools a bit, add cottage cheese! Yummmm! JFK'S favorite side. It's so good. Thats how my German friends pronounce it. Lol
Also you say Grandma exactly like my family on my mother’s side and my great grandfather was William Freeman from Quebec, And fought in WW 1 for Canada. I am from Texas and live in Colorado and love to hear you speak as you sound like my Grandma! Don’t change you, you are just right!
I’m from Virginia and I understand your pronunciation of Dan & ranch (actually think you enunciate much clearer than we do 😊). Love the living room furniture. The costume drawing book is such a beautiful and whimsical heirloom to have.
Don't worry about saying words the way you do. I love your accent. Never mind what other people say. I grew up in California and everyone would ask me if i was from the south. 😊
Your livingroom furniture is beautiful! I love the color palette, and the patterns. It's all so pretty and cozy. And thank you for sharing your beautiful heirlooms. That is a wonderful and precious collection. ❤
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING ALL THAT IS IN THIS VIDEO, CHELSEA. YOUR NEW LIVING ROOM LOOKS LOVELY AND SERENE. AND, I ESPECIALLY LOVE YOUR 'TREASURE CABINET' AND THE PORTFOLIO OF THE COSTUMES THAT YOUR GREAT GRANDMOTHER MADE FOR YOUR GRANDMOTHER. TALK ABOUT A 'TREASURE'!!! 😊🤩😍 ALSO, THE SPATZLE SOUNDS DELICIOUS...AND, SO EASY TO MAKE. I WAS THINKING THAT DIFFERENT FLAVORINGS COULD BE ADDED TO THE DOUGH FOR EITHER SAVORY OR SWEET DISHES. Hmmmmm.....🤔 THANKS AGAIN. 🥰
Wow, what beautiful treasures you have of your grandmother's, great grandmother's and mother's!!!! I also have some items, Bible, song books, bone china trinket box, teapot, transfer plate with a Mallard duck on it. Your furniture is absolutely beautiful, I also love the plaid pillows, and that chair😍. Good choices.👍
Thank you so much Chelsea for this video! I teared up watching the heirlooms from your grandmother, how special that is! I lost my mom 12 years ago , and have some of her collections in my cabinet as well… also your living room is just beautiful! Love the chair! Your videos are calming and inspiring.. thanks so much!..🙏🤗❤️
Hi Chelsea, I'm from New Zealand and I hear Dan and ranch 😃 Your lounge looks amazing, the furniture is lovely and makes the room look brighter. I love the heirlooms in your china cabinet. What lovely memories they hold for you. Thank you for sharing. Take care.
Your living room is beautiful it’s bright, welcoming and relaxing and it matches your fireplace beautifully. It looks really really good. I’m so happy for you.❤
I love your videos and your accent. I'm from the east coast of the US and the way you say "bag" always gets me. :) it's sounds like "beg" Thank you for sharing your lifestyle with us. Your videos are a blessing.
I just watched a few of your older videos, your children are very helpful and beautiful I had 8 children all grown up now have now got26 grand children and 6 great grandchildren plus one more on the way, I really enjoy watching you in your kitchen keep up the good work 😊
I am from down South NC . I think I say pasta different but I have heard many people say it like you do so it's ok with me ❤ I think you say Dan and Ranch the same as me so that's a plus I love your new furniture , it is so beautiful . I know you will have lots of enjoyment out of it . Blessings to you and I love your great grandmother's drawings of her daughter in dance suits . She is really talented and I know she was so proud of your grandmother :) time goes by so fast . Keep making memories .
Lisa not Bob I love your living room, and the colors goes good with your kitchen colors. Also, all your family treasures are beautiful. I really love the book of all the costumes that was amazing.
Hi, have fun with the Spaetzle. The Spaetzle with cheese and fried onions are a bit like a version of "Mac'n Cheese" (very popular as a dish in the German/Austrian/Swiss skiing areas). Try to incorporate into the dough mashed veggies like spinach, pumpkin, or carrots - or herbs like wild garlic. Further you can use the press not only for Spaetzle but for mashed potatoes or potatoes dumpling dough, but please press trough the peeled and cooked potatoes as long as they are warm. Kids will love it if you use the press for a spaghetti sundae: Press through vanilla ice cream, add strawberry sauce and finish of with white chocolate shavings. Enjoy!
The lighter furniture opens up the room. It look’s really good! The treasures from your mom and grandma are beautiful. My husband and I have my mom and dad’s bibles that they used and his mom’s bible. There’s something so beautiful about a well used and loved bible with its frayed edges and personalized notes. ❤️
Hello Chelsea, I absolutely love your accent. Please do not try and change it. There is nothing wrong in how you pronounce any word. It is uniquely you and I personally love it.
Your new furniture is really beautiful and I can’t wait to see the chicken lamp. I love your accent. Never worry about how you pronounce anything. I watch and listen to so many Canadians and pick up the accent easily that I’ve had people ask me if I’m from Canada. I’m a Californian but after watching you I’ll pronounce a few words like you for the next few hours without thinking about it.
WOW...such special memories from your Great Grandmother .... Way to go Dan at reaching out for new color in your space! Such a fun video. Beautiful Space for tea~ or a glass of wine in front of that fire place! Thank you
When you say "Process" I hear you say "Pro... cess" with a long "O". I'm in the USA and say it more as "Pra..cess" where the "O" turns into a "ah". Haha! Kinda funny! I absolutely love your accent! I love watching you! Dan and Ranch are clear to me!
I am from Panama originally. So Spanish is my first language. I have been speaking English for quiet a long time. When you say Dan & Ranch it sounds just right. And the way you say pasta is the way I would say it in Spanish, and it's the way I heard it said during my time in Italy. I wonder if I could use the spätzle maker to make regular pasta?🤔 It seems like a space saving device. So just squeeze it out and dry it for later too. The living room is lovely! I love the easy chair as well. What a talented grandma! And Great-grandma! And what a sweet treasure that book of drawings is.
I don't generally comment, but today I noticed something that I must acknowledge. You are always so willing to share your joy with us, and I have to thank you for that. Sometimes I forget that life can be joy filled. Thank you for reminding me.
I thought the same. You could feel and hear her joy.
Hi Chelsea I live in Germany and think it's great that you make Spätzle.
You can make the Spätzle mixture a little, not much, thinner.
To make your work easier, you can place the Spätzle press on the edge of the pot and then press it. What's also super delicious is frying the spaetzle in butter and sprinkling with cinnamon and sugar.
Warm greetings from Germany

I grew up in Bavaria, Germany. We make German Spaetzle with water and not with milk and ate it with roast and gravy or made Cheese-Spaetzle. It is like a casserole with layers of Spaetzle and cheese and on top end with a layer of cheese, bake it in the oven for around 30 minutes. We serve it with potato salad. So yummy :)
Hi Chelsea, I from southern Indiana and your husband's name Dan and ranch sounds the same but pasta is definitely different from how we pronounce it here.

Oh, with cinnamon and butter sounds good Claudia, thank you! My husband lived in Germany for 8 years, I will make him some! Blessings 🙏💞
Hi, I'm from Svabia in Bavaria.
We made Spätzle traditional with water, we top our Cheese-Spätzle = Käss-Spätzle with fried Onion and serve it with Cucumber-Salad.
But we prefer Knöpfe-Spätzle. Thank you for this Video.
OMGosh! YUM! on the Spatzle fried in butter and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar!! Thanks for that suggestion. 🥰
I don't care how you pronouce your words. I just love watching you. You are one of the gentlest persons that I watch.
I’m from Alabama and I hear Dan & ranch just clear as a bell. 😊
Me too!
Me too but pasta is not. I’ve noticed not her but others say garage in Canada different from North Carolina
I am from Texas and I hear Dan and ranch clearly as well. No criticism from me, love learning what ever you want to share! ❤
Me too
Iowa. You are clear here too
You are so gracious, which I appreciate. I am from Scotland in the UK and I hear Dan and Ranch clearly. It never sounds like anything else.
Thanks to this video, you have identified a “mystery” item in my mother’s collection of kitchenware. She passed away when I was 16. I’m 80, now. All these decades I’ve kept this odd thing that looked to me like a press for a giant heads of garlic (whole head…not clove 😂). Will wonders never cease. This was wonderful! 👌. So happens her father’s family were from Germany.😅.
To me, it looks like a ricer.
How bittersweet for you to learn of this kitchen tool 💕
@@Sharon-bo2seTo me too, my spaetzel maker is very different.
My family called it a potato ricer. My German family never used it for spaetzle.
@@Sharon-bo2se same creature

Don’t forget the ä! It’s pronounced like e in egg - egg is actually ägg in Swedish, one of the many words we have in common.
Yes… this is how we pronounce it as well but say ‘la’ at the end 😊

I LOVE your new living room and your keepsakes from your grandma and great-grandma! Precious beyond words. 🥰
I am from Arkansas and I hear DAN and RANCH.. you are good with me, BUT your PASTA version IS different from here.. YOU DO YOU!!!!
I agree, I hear posta but love that. I am from NY but have lived in Germany. Texas and AZ.
East TX here - ditto
Your furniture is absolutely beautiful and lightens up that space hugely. Never realised your lounge was that big. Really gorgeous and congrats on the new furniture. The kitchen cupboards being lighter flow so well with the furniture. Huge difference.
Your book with your grandmother's illustrated dance costumes is priceless. What a treasure!

It’s actually Americans that pronounce words differently. Nowhere else in the world would you hear pasta pronounced pausta. 😊
@@lesleydickson7746true, that’s why it’s called American English 😊❤
I lived in Germany for 3 years, many years ago. The people actually encouraged me to speak their language ; even if I didn't pronounce it correctly . They cared more about my attempt to try vs getting it right ❤
It’s wonderful that your moms gifting thing to y’all while she’s still here on earth. That way you and your children can ask questions and get the stories behind the heirlooms. It’s a wonderful gift in hearing the history from her.

I am in Ontario and I hear Dan and ranch just perfect.
Your living room turned out beautifully
Oh girl....that book of drawings...priceless.
Take pictures of each page.
Then you can have certain pictures made up on canvas print to decorate a little grand daughter's room.
With the pictures in your camera make each of your children a complete little book on shutterfly.

Spetzla fried with onions. Then after it cools a bit, add cottage cheese! Yummmm! JFK'S favorite side. It's so good. Thats how my German friends pronounce it. Lol
Also you say Grandma exactly like my family on my mother’s side and my great grandfather was William Freeman from Quebec, And fought in WW 1 for Canada. I am from Texas and live in Colorado and love to hear you speak as you sound like my Grandma! Don’t change you, you are just right!
I’m from Virginia and I understand your pronunciation of Dan & ranch (actually think you enunciate much clearer than we do 😊). Love the living room furniture. The costume drawing book is such a beautiful and whimsical heirloom to have.
Don't worry about saying words the way you do. I love your accent. Never mind what other people say. I grew up in California and everyone would ask me if i was from the south. 😊
I’m from Massachusetts and I hear “Dan” and that’s the way I say it.
Your livingroom furniture is beautiful! I love the color palette, and the patterns. It's all so pretty and cozy. And thank you for sharing your beautiful heirlooms. That is a wonderful and precious collection. ❤
I am in New Jersey and I hear Dan and Ranch clearly 👍🏻
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING ALL THAT IS IN THIS VIDEO, CHELSEA. YOUR NEW LIVING ROOM LOOKS LOVELY AND SERENE. AND, I ESPECIALLY LOVE YOUR 'TREASURE CABINET' AND THE PORTFOLIO OF THE COSTUMES THAT YOUR GREAT GRANDMOTHER MADE FOR YOUR GRANDMOTHER. TALK ABOUT A 'TREASURE'!!! 😊🤩😍 ALSO, THE SPATZLE SOUNDS DELICIOUS...AND, SO EASY TO MAKE. I WAS THINKING THAT DIFFERENT FLAVORINGS COULD BE ADDED TO THE DOUGH FOR EITHER SAVORY OR SWEET DISHES. Hmmmmm.....🤔 THANKS AGAIN. 🥰

Your furniture is absolutely beautiful, I also love the plaid pillows, and that chair😍. Good choices.👍
Fellow Canadian here... you sound like everyone I know ❤ I loved the 'sans' comment... to substitute for 'without'. That's super Canadian for sure 😆
The living room is beautiful. I also hear Dan and ranch when you speak.
Chelsea I hear Dan & ranch just as clear but whenever you say the word down I hear it as Dan . Lots of love from India
Your living room furniture is lovely!! Your precious mementos are beautiful and have such good meaning. Love the Bible!
Love the new living room set. Have to say you are living on the edge with that cream area rug. 😂
Thank you so much Chelsea for this video! I teared up watching the heirlooms from your grandmother, how special that is! I lost my mom 12 years ago , and have some of her collections in my cabinet as well… also your living room is just beautiful! Love the chair! Your videos are calming and inspiring.. thanks so much!..🙏🤗❤️

I’m in Kentucky and I hear Dan and ranch clearly.
I’m from Michigan and I hear Dan and Ranch.
I love your videos and your accent. I'm from the east coast of the US and the way you say "bag" always gets me. :) it's sounds like "beg"
Thank you for sharing your lifestyle with us. Your videos are a blessing.
Say Drama . Canadians say it differently than we do in the United States. It will sound like Dramma like Gramma. Love your channel!!
I just watched a few of your older videos, your children are very helpful and beautiful I had 8 children all grown up now have now got26 grand children and 6 great grandchildren plus one more on the way, I really enjoy watching you in your kitchen keep up the good work 😊
I’m from Australia and it’s definitely DAN and RANCH 🤩
I am from down South NC . I think I say pasta different but I have heard many people say it like you do so it's ok with me ❤ I think you say Dan and Ranch the same as me so that's a plus I love your new furniture , it is so beautiful . I know you will have lots of enjoyment out of it . Blessings to you and I love your great grandmother's drawings of her daughter in dance suits . She is really talented and I know she was so proud of your grandmother :) time goes by so fast . Keep making memories .

I love your living room, and the colors goes good with your kitchen colors. Also, all your family treasures are beautiful. I really love the book of all the costumes that was amazing.
The book of costumes made be giddy! What a blessed treasure!
The Dance Book is beyond precious! Definitely an heirloom in anyone’s family. So glad you can enjoy it!!!
I hear Dan and ranch!!! But then again, I’m Canadian!!!
♥️🇨🇦♥️🇨🇦♥️
Everyone has their own accents and yours is unique. I love your accent💜
Hi, have fun with the Spaetzle. The Spaetzle with cheese and fried onions are a bit like a version of "Mac'n Cheese" (very popular as a dish in the German/Austrian/Swiss skiing areas). Try to incorporate into the dough mashed veggies like spinach, pumpkin, or carrots - or herbs like wild garlic. Further you can use the press not only for Spaetzle but for mashed potatoes or potatoes dumpling dough, but please press trough the peeled and cooked potatoes as long as they are warm. Kids will love it if you use the press for a spaghetti sundae: Press through vanilla ice cream, add strawberry sauce and finish of with white chocolate shavings. Enjoy!
Well wear on your new furniture, it’s beautiful.❤❤❤
I love when you say P words other than that you speak clearly for me to understand ❤
The lighter furniture opens up the room. It look’s really good! The treasures from your mom and grandma are beautiful. My husband and I have my mom and dad’s bibles that they used and his mom’s bible. There’s something so beautiful about a well used and loved bible with its frayed edges and personalized notes. ❤️
Hello Chelsea, I absolutely love your accent. Please do not try and change it. There is nothing wrong in how you pronounce any word. It is uniquely you and I personally love it.
Your new furniture is really beautiful and I can’t wait to see the chicken lamp. I love your accent. Never worry about how you pronounce anything. I watch and listen to so many Canadians and pick up the accent easily that I’ve had people ask me if I’m from Canada. I’m a Californian but after watching you I’ll pronounce a few words like you for the next few hours without thinking about it.
WOW...such special memories from your Great Grandmother .... Way to go Dan at reaching out for new color in your space! Such a fun video. Beautiful Space for tea~ or a glass of wine in front of that fire place! Thank you
Your living room is beautiful, the furniture is perfect for the space. Lovely
Your living room is beautiful.
When you say "Process" I hear you say "Pro... cess" with a long "O". I'm in the USA and say it more as "Pra..cess" where the "O" turns into a "ah". Haha! Kinda funny! I absolutely love your accent! I love watching you! Dan and Ranch are clear to me!
I'm from Pennsylvania and I hear ranch and Dan
Your room looks comfortable and cozy.
I am from Panama originally. So Spanish is my first language. I have been speaking English for quiet a long time. When you say Dan & Ranch it sounds just right. And the way you say pasta is the way I would say it in Spanish, and it's the way I heard it said during my time in Italy. I wonder if I could use the spätzle maker to make regular pasta?🤔 It seems like a space saving device. So just squeeze it out and dry it for later too.
The living room is lovely! I love the easy chair as well. What a talented grandma! And Great-grandma! And what a sweet treasure that book of drawings is.
Oh Chelsea,
Love the new Living Room just beautiful!!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful heirlooms so beautiful!!!
Patricia
From Virginia and I hear Dan and ranch exactly as I would say it. Same!
