**A Home Makeover Countdown to Christmas**

As we count down to Christmas, we're excited to share our favorite items that are worth splurging on to make your home feel special and cozy. From comfortable sofas to stylish lighting, we've got you covered with our top picks.

**My Favorite Sofa: The Ultimate Comfort**

There's one piece of furniture in my home that I absolutely adore - my white sofa from Pottery Barn. It's the most comfortable thing I've ever owned, and I've had it for years. The design is simple yet stylish, and it adds a touch of sophistication to any room. My favorite part about this sofa is how versatile it is - it's perfect for lounging around on its own or as a centerpiece in a cozy conversation circle.

But what's even more special about my sofa is the symbolic meaning behind it. I like to think that it represents the balance between masculinity and femininity in our home, with its sleek black leather exterior and creamy white interior. It's a true showstopper, and I feel so lucky to have it in my life.

**Pillows for the Perfect Touch**

One of my favorite things about decorating my home is adding the perfect pillows to make everything come together. For this year's holiday season, I'm treating myself to some gorgeous new pillows from Pottery Barn. At just $45 each, they're an affordable way to add a pop of color and texture to any room.

I love that these pillows are versatile enough to be used all year round - they're perfect for adding a splash of style to my living room or as a cozy accent on my bed. Plus, they're so comfortable to snuggle up with! If you're looking to upgrade your pillow game this holiday season, I highly recommend checking out Pottery Barn's collection.

**A Nightlight for Peace of Mind**

When it comes to lighting in the home, I'm always on the lookout for ways to make things more peaceful and relaxing. That's why I love my motion-activated nightlight - it provides a soft glow that's perfect for kids (and adults!) who like to play in the dark.

This little device is also super convenient, as it can be placed in any room and will automatically turn on when someone enters the space. It's the perfect solution for parents who want to keep their little ones safe without having to constantly check on them. Plus, it's a great way to create ambiance without having to worry about switching on the lights every time.

**A Holiday Gift Idea**

If you're looking for a unique and thoughtful gift for your loved ones this holiday season, I've got just the thing: a wireless device from Pottery Barn that connects to your music streaming service of choice. This little gadget is perfect for anyone who loves music - it allows you to stream their favorite tunes throughout the entire house, making it easy to create a party atmosphere or cozy atmosphere depending on the mood.

I love how versatile this device is - it can be placed in any room and controlled from my phone or voice assistant. It's also super convenient, as I can easily add or remove music channels without having to lift a finger. If you're looking for a gift that will make your loved ones' lives easier and more enjoyable, this wireless device is definitely worth considering.

**A Special Delivery**

As we wrap up our countdown to Christmas, I'm excited to announce that one of my favorite gifts has arrived at the doorstep - an Amazon Prime package! I've been waiting patiently for what feels like forever, and it's even more exciting now that I can finally unwrap it. Stay tuned for a special surprise from me...

buying for whether there's someone you like a little or someone you like a lot you can buy them whatever you want you could buy the whole gift it's already I advise someone you like a lot so the other videos were $25 and under and the other one was around $50 so this one is remember usually gonna have some fun and spend over $100 okay we're spending over $100 but you guys know that I have a real estate agent so I don't buy people houses unfortunately that would be fun yeah okay so if you want to do a really big ticket and give me a call and I'll help you with that yes however today we're gonna be in the hundred ish to and up no we should go crazy but we're not except that we're like really practical people so we don't actually spend that much money so one of the greatest things in our house is this guy because we have a tendency I'm always hot and she's always cold and so instead of us both having to run back and forth across the house we can now change the temperature non-stop with nest time same to change the temperature no don't turn the heat on so this is I have been a life saver but there are a lot of smart thermostats nowadays but nest is amazing we like it because there's different finishes actually on them so you can match your decor if it was a black one because the wall went on is blacks and I will show you something else in a minute it goes well with it but for this it's been a lifesaver because we can use the timers and so and especially on trips and going on vacation you can make sure it's way cooler harder we killed some fish because the house got too cold and we realized now we can check on the temperature of the house when we're in Florida gonna take a little break for a second the kids are now back in the house you might hear a little bit of fans like we're real people so there you go some of the other items we're gonna we're about to go off-roading and on a little field trip trip inside the house so bear with us this would be really fun in just a second one of my favorite items that he bites me every single year and he knows that it's my absolute favorite thing is the ESOP they do shampoo conditioner and the body so and the lotion that goes with it so I am an avid fan of this brand and two of the thing a set is around a hundred dollars so the nurturing collection is absolutely a sensational it smells so good and I have really sensitive skin and this is one of the few things that I can actually use that I just completely and absolutely love so I highly recommend not only the shampoo and conditioner and the kids really like it and you do too with like hand soap so I bought one of their rose scalp conditioner kind of things their little masks masks that's hard to say and it was just so amazing and such a great thing that I have a hard time buying myself that stuff so I'm so grateful when someone else traits me to it because then I don't feel so guilty because I'm in the present so it really is and and the reason I also love these is that the bottles are really pretty the ingredients are really good and I just have no complaints I've been buying this stuff I think the first time I bought it was probably about four or five years together we've always had so yeah once I figured out that I worked this brand there was no going back for me the view would have their mouth wash their face they don't sell a dog shampoo which I bought last year yeah we even bought the down there's nothing from this brand that we have not loved amazing so my first item but no my second item this was earlier is this decanter for wine as you can see we use this for large juice for a breakfast with the kids too those lecture ones just breathe no but it's just cool because it's again I like instead of exciting things that are interesting to look at this actually should be in the $50.00 really well guess what bonus you can do these you can buy this and you were - right now I get two of these and so free steak knife yeah that's actually this one is like $50 and then you buy it without the wood it's like $20 so look it get fit in all three gift guys yes yeah some wine and a cute wine yeah it's just amazing you really can use it for just about anything yeah that's fine so moving on we're back to blankets because I can't help it this time of year all I want is to just feel cozy and warm and while he lights the one that was in the 50 dollar video I really like this one because it is a little bit of a luxury item but oh my gosh it really is me I lay this over my duvet at night and I'm so warm in my bag when I have this and become on the sofa with it and it's just completely amazing and it's back with like a velvet material and I do have my eye on the teddy bear one which was in the Pottery Barn video so there's a few buckets this one's cool because it's actually heavy like a substantial feeling but it's just it's seen a good clients house and she bought it and I loved it so much I had like I want to throw in the air kiss your on just so I consider a piece yeah all right we're here in the kitchen and we have so many items that we absolutely love that are tried-and-true these are not things that we've just bought these are things that we've had for a while and that we absolutely love and we use everything we're getting ready to show you we use daily if not multiple times daily in kitchen they don't use daily but the rest of them legitimately like these are things that we yeah oh my god yes like the item that you buy at the holidays they're usually included in gift guides but also because they hit the sales for Black Friday we've known the KitchenAid since we got married I 1010 percent recommend this it's one of the best things Edgar make sure that you get the bread hook because I'll make pizza dough and I just stick it in there don't have to do anything I just throw ingredients in a little bright yeah the bread lover it does all of your kneading for it you don't have to see movies whatever you need knees I got the pack black because I thought it was so cool babe it's cool they have so many cool colors so my must have my gift idea is this water beater thing no you probably are like I actually bought this for him last Christmas because yeah he makes his poor oppressed Express so you saw the other video the French press right which I use every single morning so this sucker heats up really fast and the best thing again aesthetics it's pretty so really I leave this sitting out on the counter every day so I feel happy because it's pretty and he's not because it's quick and it on the counter and he doesn't have to pull something out yeah and it's dual it which is our like favorite brand of like countertop yeah we have the toaster we have this yeah I'll show you the toaster in a second so yeah if there is one thing that I can recommend to you that you should absolutely 100% splurge on in your palm this baby the Nespresso machine is the best thing that has ever happened to me and besides you are the kids of course yeah I thought like actually throws that in there the last minute I guess better every single day every single day I use this machine like I'm thinking about using it right the second so okay so people yes if you can have a Gerrits so what's the difference between this in a hair because people ask all the time you're like oh I don't need one of these because I have a carrot carrot is it complete different things totally different fact Haley has that on her Christmas list I will leave a link for you inserting my hair is a mess so Carrie why you do that Karen makes whole cups of coffee so if you want a cup of coffee like you would get in a French press or in your home brew you know the old fashioned mr. coffees or whatever care gets that it will give you a full cup of black coffee and here's an all set for Christmas that's what she's getting her and she's got all the different she wants all the pods and all the flavors and that's perfect if you like a plank of a coffee that doesn't have a very strong flavor and I don't mean that as an insult like legitimately you don't want a really strong coffee but it's gonna be black it's just like a cup of coffee this is different this is you know this yeah it really is there's a reason that George Clooney who is my doppelganger there's a reason that George Clooney recommends it and that's because it truly is espresso so it's pods just like the Caragh but it gives you espresso shots which means I pay attention to the videos coming up because I'm gonna show you how you can make Starbucks like drinks at home so I've got more coming with this machine that's how much I use this thing so I promise I'll show you more on it later but you just take the the pod you pop it down in here you can have your cup sitting down here you turn it on and it's done in like 30 seconds and it makes anything anything down ristretto all the way through a latte cappuccino I know everyone know and once you make that my favorite thing isn't it drink it out of is my Royal Copenhagen mugs so we bought these in Copenhagen I love both of them they're actually smaller a little smaller serving size in American coffee cups so like it for a flat white you come in bigger sizes people with the bigger ones yeah I just love you if there's no handles there's just this one's oh there's long to say I love this one it's a flat black on the outside you see me and this one is amazing as well you also have the regular white month I drink out of this every single day we just we love roll cooking I love porcelain I love real porcelain so it we're just we're total fans of the brand the other things that I think are totally worth slogging on are the toaster because this sits out every single day the kids can put their toast in their bagels anything like it's just sitting right there and it's so easy you don't have to pull something out to make breakfast so it's very convenient and I have like really pretty cutting boards there because if we're making toast and might slice of that gap or something it's got a wider mouth on it so you can actually put a real bagel and a baguette in it so I so highly recommend that it's amazing our kids are playing down in the basement now so I'll be getting here a little bit of back noise yeah so this is just us we're hanging out on the weekend and have some time off and we're working um no we just truly love getting to share all this with you so this ninja is amazing I really didn't plan on buying this and I haven't done a lot of research but I saw it at Costco and I was like you know I need a food processor that actually works and I need a blender that actually works and it comes as a three-piece so you get all three with this and it has been the most amazing thing it is like actually blessed yes actually that's only what I want it to actually chop what it says it's going to chop and I want a blender that will actually make a smoothie and I love this thing I couldn't recommend this enough it's the perfect gift to give to somebody who especially make like really likes to make smoothies if you have someone that likes to bake there's so many reasons why you would want to buy this but it really is amazing and totally worth the investment we have Google Google Fiber and runners or 18t fiber running into our house which is really fast but what we found as soon as we got installed was the signal went nowhere so this is one of the best finds that I found over the last year in that speaker I get yeah yeah the Google five mesh okay you buy this on Amazon right now and what it does is literally you just plug it in where your router is and then you run it these little stations in different places and it literally just spreads the the Wi-Fi much more equally over the in terms is like a sonic boom basically just it really is I did speed test before and after and all through our house now so this one is upstairs near there were the kids room which is the primary set of devices there's also one downstairs near where I were a minute so this is one of the best finds to get the Wi-Fi everywhere yep hey this is one of the not so sexy gifts but it is so cool and so amazing and that's right up here is our nest smoke detector so the great thing is as a smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector so either one of those it goes off if when you have it hooked to your phone no matter where you are in the world your phone will ding and it will just pay your houses on fire but but the cool thing about it is it gives you a warning as well so if you're at home and sometimes like I do you burn a grilled cheese sandwich or whatever it will give you a warning and you can turn it off with your phone before it goes off the other cool thing it does which my kids love is it has a light what do you call that a nightlight on it so at night this motion detector the kids come out of the room and it lights up the hallway for them so they can find out where they're going Halloween is a perfect time to treat your home so the sofa that we're sitting on we actually have favorite sofas my sofa that I always sit on my favorite really do it's this white one and I absolutely love this it's from Pottery Barn and it's the most comfortable amazing sofa I've ever owned and I've owned it some really great ones over the years I just adore it so by himself but for yourself for the holidays treat your home treat yourself and his favorite is the black one the leather okay ready and this is my favorite sofa so funny thing is it's a black leather yes it's kind of it's more masculine so the crazy thing is I do think about this till just second ago the primary color palette of our house black-and-white and we have in our living room a black and a white couch in mine favorite it's black there's no working up on this I'm like this is symbolic it's so cool yeah so anybody is such a great lint yeah I do I love it's masculine and feminine all the same time that's cool imagine that maybe I do this for a living you should get it I know maybe I should so um I'm just doing you know grab some great pillows from Pottery Barn grab a set and I gotta show you my favorite one okay so some of my favorite pillows are things that I typically have a hard time scourging on the rest of the year but these right now are about 45 dollars each and it is a great time of year to splurge on pillows for your home so these are gonna Pottery Barn and they're beautiful and they're the kind of pillows that you can use year-round but a lot of times we think Oh 45 dollars per pillow spend it at Christmas spend it get yourself some really quality pillows that are gonna last year round and just indulge yourself just a little bit during this time of year I suggest rugs our bed was something we bought last year that everybody has actually loved that bed posted it on our room makeover and so many people have bought it from that video so I know that um we're not the only ones that's work on furniture we always invest in a big piece at the holidays because that way we know we'll enjoy it year round it's the one time of year that we spend that big sum of money it helps with budget honestly because instead of buying a bunch of crazy frivolous stuff for Christmas there is parts of it that are actually and then you get to use that couch all year round one of my other honestly my favorite items in the entire house is my sonís okay so if you don't notice is it's another wireless device this one's all music has an apple in the iPhone the whole thing it connects to your Spotify or whatever your preferred thing is the other cool thing is you can literally have as many of these set up in a house as you want and you can clump them so you can turn off different rooms you can turn on different rooms I love when I go into a client's house and we're getting ready to sell the house and they have one of these because it means that I can have music playing throughout the house during showing an open house and then just when you're living in the house you get to enjoy that same exact feature yeah so I love it this is definitely one of my favorite things yeah telework it's work and I know that you have your eye on like all the other stuff there's a bunch of them that I want and the soundbar and subwoofer and all that but for now again even one of them is just such an amazing gift so do you hear that noise that is an Amazon Prime truck back in that porch that isn't Amazon Prime news oh my god why'd you

thing is as a smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector so either one of those it goes off if when you have it hooked to your phone no matter where you are in the world your phone will ding and it will just pay your houses on fire but but the cool thing about it is it gives you a warning as well so if you're at home and sometimes like I do you burn a grilled cheese sandwich or whatever it will give you a warning and you can turn it off with your phone before it goes off the other cool thing it does which my kids love is it has a light what do you call that a nightlight on it so at night this motion detector the kids come out of the room and it lights up the hallway for them so they can find out where they're going Halloween is a perfect time to treat your home so the sofa that we're sitting on we actually have favorite sofas my sofa that I always sit on my favorite really do it's this white one and I absolutely love this it's from Pottery Barn and it's the most comfortable amazing sofa I've ever owned and I've owned it some really great ones over the years I just adore it so by himself but for yourself for the holidays treat your home treat yourself and his favorite is the black one the leather okay ready and this is my favorite sofa so funny thing is it's a black leather yes it's kind of it's more masculine so the crazy thing is I do think about this till just second ago the primary color palette of our house black-and-white and we have in our living room a black and a white couch in mine favorite it's black there's no working up on this I'm like this is symbolic it's so cool yeah so anybody is such a great lint yeah I do I love it's masculine and feminine all the same time that's cool imagine that maybe I do this for a living you should get it I know maybe I should so um I'm just doing you know grab some great pillows from Pottery Barn grab a set and I gotta show you my favorite one okay so some of my favorite pillows are things that I typically have a hard time scourging on the rest of the year but these right now are about 45 dollars each and it is a great time of year to splurge on pillows for your home so these are gonna Pottery Barn and they're beautiful and they're the kind of pillows that you can use year-round but a lot of times we think Oh 45 dollars per pillow spend it at Christmas spend it get yourself some really quality pillows that are gonna last year round and just indulge yourself just a little bit during this time of year I suggest rugs our bed was something we bought last year that everybody has actually loved that bed posted it on our room makeover and so many people have bought it from that video so I know that um we're not the only ones that's work on furniture we always invest in a big piece at the holidays because that way we know we'll enjoy it year round it's the one time of year that we spend that big sum of money it helps with budget honestly because instead of buying a bunch of crazy frivolous stuff for Christmas there is parts of it that are actually and then you get to use that couch all year round one of my other honestly my favorite items in the entire house is my sonís okay so if you don't notice is it's another wireless device this one's all music has an apple in the iPhone the whole thing it connects to your Spotify or whatever your preferred thing is the other cool thing is you can literally have as many of these set up in a house as you want and you can clump them so you can turn off different rooms you can turn on different rooms I love when I go into a client's house and we're getting ready to sell the house and they have one of these because it means that I can have music playing throughout the house during showing an open house and then just when you're living in the house you get to enjoy that same exact feature yeah so I love it this is definitely one of my favorite things yeah telework it's work and I know that you have your eye on like all the other stuff there's a bunch of them that I want and the soundbar and subwoofer and all that but for now again even one of them is just such an amazing gift so do you hear that noise that is an Amazon Prime truck back in that porch that isn't Amazon Prime news oh my god why'd you were there bring it to the door I don't know they had to back up the driveway to get it up here seriously yeah oh
