Hello Nicole!!! I love your Christmas theme this year!!! It will look beautiful!!! I can't wait to see you decorate for Christmas!!! I will be decorating with red and green and with rustic touches!!! And I'm going to add some copper pieces too!! Until you're next one take care and God bless friend 🙏 😊❤
Hi Nicole! Girl bring it on! I'm ready for all things Christmas! I just told someone earlier.. it takes so long to decorate, it takes time & money! And we should decorate earlier because after all is done, we deserve to have lots of time to enjoy it!😊 I love the needlepoint stockings, of course I'd rather find the vintage ones, but i can tea stain the new or newer ones to look old! I would also love to find some actually made of old quilts or old ones made of quilted pieces. Oh yes, i love the old bells! I was able to score some of ones last year, some are actually rusty looking but it don't rub off or anything. The ones I have are the actual round bells tho, i want to get some shaped like the ones in your inspo pic. I want all sizes from little small ones up to a really big one. I'm sure most would be new & not actually vintage. But I'll just use antiquing wax on them & make them look old!😉 I love the strands of bells in the garland on the mantle! I really like the idea of them on the stockings too! I love the look of the clip on candles too! I'd love to do that myself! You could stain the basket a darker color, if you want to make it look natural & not painted.. if that makes sense.🤷♀️ But I love the brown mixed in with the red! I almost went with brown & the light almost lime green, a couple years ago. I just love those brown ornaments!🤎 Ohh i love the inspo pic for the gallery wall! Thats going to be so pretty Nicole! I think that's a really neat way to decorate a gallery wall! Love it!❤ I may use that idea myself! Honestly, Christmas is the only time of year i really do alot of decorating. Its the only time I move my every day decor around or put something in the closet to put decor out. I add little pieces for easter & fall/thanksgiving into my decor. I do have several winter/Christmas art pieces and i will switch those out for sure or lean them somewhere. But that inspo pic is just classic! I do switch out some of my greenery & florals too. You could tie A pretty bow on the lamp! A red & white gingham shade will be so pretty! You could thrift an old shade & do the DIY where you glue the strips of mean on it, do it in a tartan material. If you don't know the DIY I'm taking about, you can find Utube videos on it. Anyway, just a thought! A bow would be really pretty & simple tho. That last inspo pic is gorgeous!😮 That's my fav kind Of garland, that hangs like that. Its pretty hanging on a wall, stairwell, or on A mantle or shelf & hanging over the edge. So many were finding the realistic feel in that to last year.. its just gorgeous!❤ Maybe you can find the tartan plaid ribbon with the blue instead of green, to use in the kitchen. I'm sure you can order it from amazon if you can find it in A store. Hobby Lobby or Michaels should have it! The bowl with candles is A really pretty centerpiece. Have you tried to find the pencil tree that had A flat back, it fits against the wall? That might work in the dining room! A friend of mine has this really small foyer & that what she uses. I want to collect old vintage or antique wood toys to put under my tree. But I'm excited to see your haul videos & your decorate with me videos! Can't believe its just 2mths away!😮 Enjoyed Today & pray that you have a blessed week!🙏🏻
Ohhh its all gonna be so beautiful. I'm planning just a simple kind of Christmas but I want to use more of the burgundy, off-white, brown and the sage green. I found table runners at HL that was in the fall section, they only had 1 left so I rushed home and found them online. I was surprised they were still available. I cant wait to see how you decorate this year. I already know its gonna be beautiful. ❤😊
Nicole, it is always a pleasure watching your videos with my best friend and following your channel! You are a great designer and your designs are inspiring! You have helped me and my best friend by giving us decor ideas and we have discovered great ornaments from your shopping vlogs!
Hey, Nicole…I sooooo understand your comment about having problems with your mantle decor!! I watch Amy on RU-vid channel Simply Our Home….she’s amazing with her mantle decor!!! When I think of classic/classy decor…your sweet face pops into my head! Always a pleasure to watch your videos! Cindi (from WV)😊
There is barely one month between TG and Christmas so a week or two ahead just is getting decor ready. I’ll start soon too. Tired of the orange colors.
I am so sorry. I am going to sound mean, but although I love the glimpse I've had of your home and style, I am going to beg you to look up the definition of "simplistic". It does not mean what you think it means. And I find it impossible to watch your videos because of it. Maybe I'm overly sensitive to this, but I'm not going to be the only one to notice the problem.
I’m sorry you feel this way but I would like to think people are watching my channel due to its content and the personality behind it all rather than the title.
