Decorating my home for Christmas | thrifted, high end, cozy look

Decorate my whole house with me today on a thrifty budget styling my thrift flips and adding some vintage inspired DIY. My goal was to elevate and make fresh my holiday decor without buying much new. I wanted to achieve a classic, nostalgic, whimsical, cozy look this year and I believe I was able to get just that! I pray this video may bless you in your season.
I will share more of the advent devotional I am using along with some of my girlfriends over on my Instagram @eegarbe eegarbe?hl=en

    I love how everything turned out. Your home is so cozy and inviting. I also love what you said at the beginning of the video. I’m in a different season than you. Our boys are grown and my husband and I became grandparents for the first time last year. I think there is so much pressure on moms now a days for everything to be perfect. It’s nice to see someone talking about not having to have everything perfect and focusing on what this season is really about. Our Savior. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas.

    Everything turned out so cute! I love all the sweet touches and especially loved the words you shared at the beginning of the video. If everyone would rejected what Christmas was truly all about it might simplify things. And if we don't teach our children the real meaning, the world sure won't! The one tradition i started with my older who is now almost 38 and also with my youngest who is now 24.. when they woke on Christmas morning we would sit in their bed and sing happy birthday to Jesus before gong into the living room. My daughter now does it with her children and my son now has his first baby this Christmas and i hope he'll do the same. New to your channel, but truly enjoyed!

    Hello Emily, What a delightful video of you and your decorating inspiration. After so many years of decorating for Christmas time… I have found that each year I know I just want it to be simple and to just be welcome for friends and family. So very tired of the videos that are so picture perfect. Life as we know has many ups and downs. The holiday’s are no exception. So I find that I am just trying to take it day by day and just enjoy the moment. Best to you and yours this Holiday Season. Warm Regards, Martina

    I love the simplicity, and coziness of your home. It looks very nice. I have the same little brass Christmas tree, that’s what I use as my advent candle , but I can’t find small purple candles, so I use white ones and put a small purple ribbon on three of the candle holders and a pink one on the other, I love it . Wishing you and your family a beautiful and blessed Advent and Christmas.

    We use to make the oranges with cloves as kids and yes it hurts. I think my mom sprinkled them with cinnamon also. They do smell wonderful I loved your mini nativity sets and that’s a great idea to wait to add baby Jesus. I enjoy changing some of my Christmas decor around each year too.

I remember making them long ago and I felt like I had a hole in my thumb when I was through making them. Because of you I think I will try to make them again. Look forward to your new video.

    Your home is lovely. ❤ I love that you are putting our Lord and Savior's birthday front and center. 🙏 Your little boys are so sweet. They will always remember that Jesus is the reason for the Season. And that their parents made sure of it. That is so much more important than any decoration. That is the best 🎁 you can give them.

I am very eclectic and like vintage, and antique but don't mind a few new things. I just want my home to be cozy with unique pieces. You are very inspiring. God bless you.🦌

    I've been looking for velvet ribbon to decorate with. Hopefully I'll find what I'm looking for. Are you a Virgo? I am and definitely like everything perfect and it's so hard to be a perfectionist all the time. It never happens in real life. I struggle with that.
