Aaahhhhhh, we got a peek at boyfriend...he looks CUTE!!! 🥰🥰🥰 Your tree looks even better with the beautiful curtains. 🎄🎄🎄 The red bow on the vase really pops, add more red items for color and festiveness.
nooo judgement bc i used to (up until this year) not wash my brand new blankets but trusttt it makes such a difference to wash your brand new blanket before couch or at least throw in dryer with scented dryer sheets before couch, it helps your room smell so good and fresh
I spent my entire 20s without a long term relationship because I had super high expectations. In early 2020 i met the best man ever, and we are moving to my family’s home country in the EU early next year. While i did spend many years discouraged and sad, I can say I never settled and the reward was a super healthy relationship. Stick it out ladies. Don’t settle because that energy is always mirrored back to you !!!
Tara, I was thinking that on the bottom level of the console, you could use one of those battery operated sets of warm white fairy lights, it would cast a sweet glow over the forest and the buildings down there. Might actually make the black pop.
Just a tip for decorating shelves and the console table! Always group things in odd numbers! Like put 1 thing or 3 things together, never 2! Also adding little twinkly lights to the shelves would be so cute !!
Last Christmas I was giddy over my new boyfriend who was literally the man of my dreams….this Christmas im still struggling and coping with the fact that he cheated and now im misscarrying because of the stress and depression. This is my favorite time of year and now it seems so dull. I got more decor to try to cheer up the vibe in my house, but things are so different. At least someone is enjoying the holiday season like I normally do, its nice seeing you so happy and cheerful every year!
Love your decorating! I was thinking of a big vase or a small Christmas tree in the center of the top of the console, which would look nice. It would be simple, but have a nice reflection. Instead of all the small items.
Seeing you so happy makes us all happy. You deserve it. Christmas tree is beautiful. I'm all about greenery and lights. The bottom shelf in your living room would look beautiful with lights and garland I think. The shelves in the kitchen with the mugs I think would be cute with a little hot cocoa sign.
Love it all! For the console, put the taller house in front of the outlet to disguise it. Add some fairy lights underneath the table using Command hooks (they have them plug in or battery operated & with timers). You can then keep the houses black with the lights making it all pop like a softly lit village in Sweden!!
Awwww the way you look at him 😍I love seeing you so happy, Tara! PS I also met my now husband just as I had completely given up and convinced myself that I was never meeting the one... We're coming up to our 13th wedding anniversary now so I was clearly wrong ❤
I like the mini trees;and dash of green decor.Green is one of my fav colors. So cute how you did, the marshmallows.It would be neat if you could vlog, a lil of both family gatherings.
Honestly, Tara, what you should do about the decorating vlog is film it in November when you want to decorate and then just save it and post it during vlogmas. Yes, we’ll see the tree before we see it decorated, but it would just be a little sneak peak. Idk, I just think you should decorate when you want to decorate and not hold off until vlogmas. And that way you can either skip a day of filming in December or you can film and just have an extra video during vlogmas :)
suchhh a cozy cute video!! i love the christmas time of year and all the festive stuff in vlogs :)) also the little bits of you and the boyfriend are so cute lol. (i hope we can see the kitty again soon 😭😭)
For some reason I'm feeling like those two houses you want to paint for your living room console would look cute painted red & white... like you see a lot of homes painted in Sweden, and the Nordic countries! ❤
Im sorry to hear what happened last year christmas. Things have turned for the better. You found the guy of ur dreams. Timing is everything. The same thing happened too. Was in a situationship for 9 months and then 3 months later was talking to a guy who changed my life for the better. Even though i didn’t go further with the relationship i learned what i wanted most for myself- healing. In the right time u will find what is meant for you. I belive in the universe and things aligning where it will❤
I got a little teary eyed during your message about your dating experience. I'm turning 28 soon and spending my 7th year in a row single. I've had a really difficult time with it all but I really needed to hear your words. Thank you ❤
For the console with the mirror the bottom shelf you always struggle with you should get Christmas edition table coffee books and stack them in the middle of the console to add a pop of color but keep it simple
Hi Tara I have and idea/suggestion for the lamp and lighting in the living room. Maybe a wall mounted lamp that on that thin wall next to the kitchen railing.
Hi Tara Hope you're having yourself a wonderful day just wanted to say I really enjoy watching your Vlogs and your videos you and your family are spectacular you are a intelligent smart young lady beautiful inside and out don't let anybody ever tell you any different you go girl thought I would add I like your Christmas decorations but on your living room console where you have the houses that you were saying are dark maybe if you put some twinkle lights in through the Garland and maybe if you can stick any twinkle lights inside the holes of the houses it might brighten it happy Christmas 🎄
this is crazy. my christmas has been up since late november however I feel like i just watched u decorate for fall and halloween this is crazy. whys this half of the year running by!!!!
Might be helpful! Something I do is take a picture of what's in my storage so when i go shopping i have a general overview of what i have before making a purchase! I had like 8 of the same or similar style decor item and did a purge lol
I think for your wall shelf the green cups and mugs should be on opposite ends of each other ? I like the first way you had it. I'd love to see how the garland looks with it! ❤
The shelves in the kitchen need those cute vintage style magnolia cups from target would be perfect! They were on the counter in the first part of the video
Aww that happened on my bday 😢 the shelves could use some garland I would stack the mugs add a gold framed vintage Christmas pic for some height and maybe some small light up houses
I love your vlogs because they are so real and realistic! What you tell about Christmas Eve last year vs now I recognize immensely. I was also in a similar situation last year of lovebomb and wanting a relationship so hard. And then I decided to stop looking for love and 4 weeks later I met my current boyfriend.
Hi Tara! You definitely got me addicted to the soup dumplings, but you HAVE TO buy the steamer basket from Our Place and try cooking them that way! Game 👏🏼 changer 👏🏼 Love all your videos btw! Happy holidays 🤎
I love how you repurpose your decor! What if you put the black houses with a white electric candle inside with the black trees instead of painting them?
Have you thought about putting wall sconces on each side of your couch kind of up more on the wall instead of a lamp? I think that would give you the perfect amount of lighting in your living room w/o doing to much. 🥰 Love your videos especially vlogmas 🥰🥰🥰🤣
Girl I feel you on that! I got into relationship last year we met at work. Now were gonna get married this year. When I felt like giving up on not finding anyone too. Never give up ladies!
Glad we got a glimpse of your BF. With your 30th birthday coming up and from as happy as I can see you are in this relationship. I don't know, you could get a proposal on your birthday. I got this feeling!! Either way, I am so happy to see you so happy. You are literally glowing when you speak about him. XOXO
Last December i had the flu! I had to cancel all ny plans to go out of town to see family. I cried because i wasnt able to see everyone. This year im spending Christmas in my tiny house that my husband and i built on 5 acres! Im so excited for Christmas this year! And i got my flu shot so im safe this year lol. I definitely know how you feel and its amazing!
So... I have an idea for the shelves in your kitchen. Add in the pop of red with only one (?) of the mugs and the bow, keep the green with the wine glasses and the greenery, and then add more trees. I don't know how to say what's in my head for placement? Play around with height on the edges and then smaller pieces closer to the middle. I think it will be a hit, personally, but it's up to your tastes. A mini garland that arches could add depth and dimension to either the top or bottom shelf. My personal style is to put it on the higher one-- just a simple greenery garland that's wrapped on strings. For your family room one, adding some twinkle lights could really elevate that garland. Maybe some ornament decor in a bowl? Idk, just some thoughts. What you have is gorgeous already, just wanted to maybe give you some ideas.
happy christmas tree day!!!!! you guys know how much I love this day, the vibes are just tooooo good 🎄✨
Ok. Boyfriend is cuuuuuuuuute
Tara, put some small battery lights inside the houses. It'll look super cute.
Anyone else cheese over the thumbnail before even watching the video 🥹 The joy in your spirit is radiant and contagious, so happy for you! ❤
Right!?! The voice in my head "And just like that Tara broke the internet by a thumbnail." 🤩
Totally
Yesss 🥹
You should throw a string of twinkle lights under the console table in the living room it will make it magical and give more depth the the houses
That super soft “thank you”🥹 sooooo sweet Tara
I HEARD THAT TOO CRYINH
I love it when your tree goes up. It transforms your whole living room 🥰
Aaahhhhhh, we got a peek at boyfriend...he looks CUTE!!! 🥰🥰🥰 Your tree looks even better with the beautiful curtains. 🎄🎄🎄 The red bow on the vase really pops, add more red items for color and festiveness.

Ugh I love the vlogmas opening song. Gives me the warm and fuzzies and makes it feel like xmas once again
I think a red runner on ur console would slay!!!
Just a tip for decorating shelves and the console table! Always group things in odd numbers! Like put 1 thing or 3 things together, never 2! Also adding little twinkly lights to the shelves would be so cute !!
I love watching Harry Potter at Christmas. I just did a full binge rewatch a month ago and already want to do it again before Christmas. ❤
Take a laundry basket to the secret room and then its easier to take stuff upstairs😂😂i am always so scared you drop some of your smart decor😂😂
This was the sweetest vlog! I hope you two get to have many more years of family Christmas together! 🎄💝
The pottery barn gingerbread train would be a perfect fit for the bottom of console!!!!
omgggg yes that's so cute!
I have a love-hate relationship with décor shelves as well! So happy that you're so happy!
Tara you are glowing!!!
Love the December upload schedule! A sweet midweek “surprise” video 🥰
The timing for this video couldn’t be more perfect! I needed the motivation to start decorating and this definitely helps! Thanks Tara!
Love seeing you so happy with your beau! He sounds lovely. 🥰 ❤
The love bombing to sudden breakup is crazy whiplash lol. So happy to see you in a happy relationship now!!! ❤️
I’m so happy your Christmas and new years will be much better this year
Try spraying the glitter branches with hairspray. Might help keep the glitter from falling off.
Perfect timing for my lunch! I love a Tara posting day ❤

Getting our tree up this weekend love decorating for the holidays. Love the vlogmas opening to so cute.
OMG I LOVE LOVE LOVE the console decorscape!!!
The way I screamed when I saw the thumbnail ✨❤Also, the Costco chicken soup dumplings are sooo good "Bibigo"
The dark mug throws the vibe on your shelf. Try that other mug with red in it next to the mug with the red in it. It pops!
Yay holidays with Tara!!! ❤🎄❤️
I think a dark red colored book under the star sculptures on the console table would be so pretty!
Omg the thumbnail is so cute 😍
I love the veggie dumplings over the chicken. They are so yummy!!!
He called you out!!! You fell asleep!! Hahahaha you guys are cute ❤❤❤
Loved it. 🎄I also have a hard time decorating shelves, love to see you happy 😃
Awwww the way you look at him 😍I love seeing you so happy, Tara! PS I also met my now husband just as I had completely given up and convinced myself that I was never meeting the one... We're coming up to our 13th wedding anniversary now so I was clearly wrong ❤
Christmas mugs should go on kitchen shelf🤶🎄🎅🧑🎄☕️
I like the mini trees;and dash of green decor.Green is one of my fav colors.
So cute how you did, the marshmallows.It would be neat if you could vlog, a lil of both family gatherings.
Sooooo pumped for the christmas vibes🎄🎅🏼❄️

Put little battery flicker candles in the dark houses ( if that’s possible) & then I don’t think you’ll need to paint them. Love to decorate with you!
Okay love the decor! Little tip on the glittery items if you spray them with hair spray it won’t make a mess.
Ahh I love & always look forward to your vlogs. Love you lots girl ❤😊
Just a quick idea on the wooden counsel if you want hang stockings or on the rail. Love the Christmas decor😍🌲
suchhh a cozy cute video!! i love the christmas time of year and all the festive stuff in vlogs :)) also the little bits of you and the boyfriend are so cute lol. (i hope we can see the kitty again soon 😭😭)
Yay, great start of my day, and my soon to be wife and I are going to decorate tonight 😊
half blood prince is my favourite! also tara's vlogmas is finally here
This just made me so damn happy. So happy for you Tara❤
For some reason I'm feeling like those two houses you want to paint for your living room console would look cute painted red & white... like you see a lot of homes painted in Sweden, and the Nordic countries! ❤
Yeah... just do an image search for "red & white Swedish homes" on Google to see what I mean. 😁
I think the dark houses would really pop on the shelves in your kitchen against the white wall. Give it some color. ❤
sadly too big for the shelves!! otherwise you're so right!
Im sorry to hear what happened last year christmas. Things have turned for the better. You found the guy of ur dreams. Timing is everything.
The same thing happened too. Was in a situationship for 9 months and then 3 months later was talking to a guy who changed my life for the better.

What a fun festive time. Enjoy
I got a little teary eyed during your message about your dating experience. I'm turning 28 soon and spending my 7th year in a row single. I've had a really difficult time with it all but I really needed to hear your words. Thank you ❤
okaaaay cutest thumbnail ever! omg
For the console with the mirror the bottom shelf you always struggle with you should get Christmas edition table coffee books and stack them in the middle of the console to add a pop of color but keep it simple
When I saw the thumbnail I nearly choked on my food 😭😭 so happy for you Tara!! Sending love from TX💙💞💐
Hi Tara I have and idea/suggestion for the lamp and lighting in the living room. Maybe a wall mounted lamp that on that thin wall next to the kitchen railing.
Hi Tara Hope you're having yourself a wonderful day just wanted to say I really enjoy watching your Vlogs and your videos you and your family are spectacular you are a intelligent smart young lady beautiful inside and out don't let anybody ever tell you any different you go girl thought I would add I like your Christmas decorations but on your living room console where you have the houses that you were saying are dark maybe if you put some twinkle lights in through the Garland and maybe if you can stick any twinkle lights inside the holes of the houses it might brighten it happy Christmas 🎄
Youre glowing in this video girl
A light up christmas village at the bottom of the console table would be so cute.
Can’t wait to decorate this weekend ✨✨
not me screaming over the mini boyfriend reveal 😂 i'm so happy for your happiness tara 💜
this is crazy. my christmas has been up since late november however I feel like i just watched u decorate for fall and halloween this is crazy. whys this half of the year running by!!!!
if you spray glitter branches in kitchen with hairspray it helps with falling glitter❤

the bottom of the console would be adorable as a place for a christmas village!!
Have you seen those trees just decorated with icicle ornaments? Your tree is stunning and I bet it would look sooooooo good
For the bottom console, I’d suggest adding a strand of string lights!
The red bows for the tree!
Hi Tara! You definitely got me addicted to the soup dumplings, but you HAVE TO buy the steamer basket from Our Place and try cooking them that way! Game 👏🏼 changer 👏🏼 Love all your videos btw! Happy holidays 🤎
I love how you repurpose your decor! What if you put the black houses with a white electric candle inside with the black trees instead of painting them?

On the shelves maybe a small canvas painting of a tree and a red mug to compliment the green
Now that you’ve accumulated a good amount of decor, highly recommend sturdy storage bins. Would make it so much easier to take up and down the stairs
Girl I feel you on that! I got into relationship last year we met at work. Now were gonna get married this year. When I felt like giving up on not finding anyone too. Never give up ladies!
Your Vlogmas videos bring me a lot of joy. Just popping on to share.
You should do a picture frame on one of the floating shelves!
I just tried the Trader Joe’s Kimbap because of you, it’s so good! Hope you’re enjoying all your winter soups!!!
I love how happy you are ❤😊
Glad we got a glimpse of your BF. With your 30th birthday coming up and from as happy as I can see you are in this relationship. I don't know, you could get a proposal on your birthday. I got this feeling!! Either way, I am so happy to see you so happy. You are literally glowing when you speak about him. XOXO
You could maybe put little tea lights in the houses so they look lit up!!
love your energy ❤❤❤❤
Spray the glitter stuff with hairspray. Holds the glitter, keeps it from going everywhere 😊
Tara your inner monologue coming out while decorating for Christmas has me cracking up
Last December i had the flu! I had to cancel all ny plans to go out of town to see family. I cried because i wasnt able to see everyone. This year im spending Christmas in my tiny house that my husband and i built on 5 acres! Im so excited for Christmas this year! And i got my flu shot so im safe this year lol. I definitely know how you feel and its amazing!
Loveeee this vlog ❤
Screaming at the phone “WOMAN, put the things in a basket and make one trip” 😂😂😂

I also just got that white candle from target! Just put it on my dinning room table- twinsies
I need the link for your skims Christmas pjs so bad. They’re so cute 😭😭
