*2023* CHRISTMAS DECORATE WITH ME | TRADITIONAL PLAID RALPH LAUREN INSPIRED LIVING ROOM

[@margaretcapers2368]

christmas vacation lets go

[@laurysteinke865]

I would open the blanket and drape it over the arm. Then take away the fur pillows (they would be great for your winter decor), and put just the red pillows, navy pillows and the adorable bear pillow in the middle. You would then have room for the plaid, lumbar pillow behind the teddy pillow? The stockings are absolutely adorable! Maybe a wreath with a candle on the coffee table?

[@kimmorin7847]

The red pillows pick up the red ornaments in your tree. I wouldnt change it! Looks amazing Marie

[@kathydye1602]

I like the red pillows, they match the red on your Christmas tree. I think a nice holiday coffee table book would be perfect. I think everything else looks terrific! ❤❤

[@ckhere4u]

Maybe a candle on the side table and a poinsettia plant on the coffee table.

[@sabrinacampatelli]

I wouldn't change a thing. I love your pillow combo, especially with red, plaid and fur! On the table maybe just 1 to 2 table books and a candle.

[@ginaferracini9375]

Hi love your fire mantle the stocking bears are adorable loving the pillows 🐻 Beautiful 🥰♥️🌲.

[@melissahernandez8873]

I love the plaid against the navy pillows on the couch. You are right the red is too much but the plaid looks so great.

[@flowerstar0196]

I feel like younger influencers now days are killing the Christmas spirit with the browns and neutrals and the expensive trees. I’m in my late 20s and I will always keep going with the traditional colors, plads, reds, greens, I LOVE CHRISTMAS! Love your decor!!!! Keep being yourself! This is what Christmas is all about, Jesus, family, the feeling of home ❤️

[@lcrafts5907]

Marie, Your decor is absolutely beautiful!!! Every detail is perfect. You wanted an idea for the coffee table. I would get a large tray, 3 lanterns of various sizes and add the christmas balls all around the lanterns in the large tray and twinkle lights. I think it will be beautiful. Wishing you, Mikah & Loki a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!!! It is so nice to see you so happy to be back home in Texas.

[@lauragrimmes282]

Marie, I watch a youtuber not mentioning names, ( I THINK THAT IS SOOO TACKY) but by the time she does her house tour she has changed everything and that is ok. This is your home and you are so happy to be back in TX just enjoy it. I love all your clean lines. The pillows and plaid that carries throughout is beautiful.

[@kimberlywalker280]

I agree...you have good taste...and, it is beautiful. 🙂

[@katlynnmorris]

I love everything, the pillows the fur ones are gorgeous. Leave them. I know as time goes on you will tweak things as you see them. Don't let other peoples opinions sway what you like. It is ok and up to you for asking our opinion, so maybe that carries over n doubting how you choose your placement. Your home is gorgeous, your decor is stunning. Half of us are no where near this. So at the end of the day Marie, do what makes you happy. That is what matters, cause we know everyone has something to say. This is your Christmas and it is coming along beautifully.

[@CheapCraftyGirl]

Thank you!!

[@codygally1402]

You should replace the topiaries with nutcrackers or those giant bottle brush trees

[@llusk6375]

I love this tree! 😍 Everything looks beautiful. I like the red pillows. Maybe a few books and a candle on the coffee table. Can't wait to see the full tour. 🎄

[@michellewissler3013]

This room is stunning! Your tree is absolutely gorgeous! The mantel, picture and teddy bear stockings perfection! Everything turned out so beautiful! You created an elegant, warm and cozy room. I love everything you did! You are a wonderful decorator! Maybe try a large candle on a tray with a book. Keeping it simple so your focal point in your mantel. Thank you for sharing, really enjoyed this video!💖🎄✨

[@paigedial3445]

Love the patterns and textures. Looks so good and cozy

[@tammybarber8107]

I like what you have going in the living room. Food for thought for the coffee table. Maybe a tray with small Christmas trees to mimic the beautiful print you have over the fireplace.

[@colliegirl5676]

I love the red pillows best. It ties in with the red bulbs on the Christmas Tree❤❤❤

[@artfulmemories]

Love it! The fireplace mantel...gorgeous!!! The print is perfect!!!

[@CheapCraftyGirl]

Thanks so much!!

[@roxannegianfrate5352]

I love the print over the mantle. Just beautiful and it can stay all winter. You put so much thought into your home and it shows! ❤❤

[@dotmaines3684]

I love the red pillows! I think they look great! Good job!

[@donnalynn6646]

Omg Marie, this makes me want to cry❤🎄 it's sooooo gorgeous!!! You are such an inspiration to all of us!!! I watch your channel and learn so much. I bought those same stocking because of you. I'm using classic garland because of you. Thank you ❤🎄🫶

[@aledford1990]

I absolutely love everything! When I saw that bear pillow I instantly thought Ralph Lauren! Everything is so lovely! That’s one of the prettiest trees I’ve ever seen!

[@jenasmith5467]

I looooove the print above the fireplace! This is my favorite so far but that plaid is my absolute favorite and what I use in my home. The stockings are just adorable and fit the room perfectly!

[@sherriebarnett5966]

I liked the couch the first way you had it. Yes put something on the table. Love all of it. It’s all beautiful!!!

[@dinacalhau4568]

Absolutely gorgeous. I love everything so elegant and sophisticated and pleasing to the eye. I am so inspired by this video.

[@joannieBartron]

I really love the red pillows they look great with the red on the Christmas trees

[@kellieroth1710]

Put twinkle lights on all the topiaries, very cute. The coffee table, a wreath with a hurricane and candle? I go to Liz at traditions by the season. Best ideas! ❤

[@brendahemphill8394]

Looks great! I like the last pillow placement. --coffee table is definitely begging for some decor. Nutcracker(s) came to mind and/or maybe an off white pedestal candle holder with dark green or red pillar candle surrounded by a wreath at the base

[@deborahbavas6514]

I liked the red pillows! I liked the original way you staged the couch! Your house really looks like a home now! Love your style!

[@darlenecorcoran2892]

i think the pillows look great just the way they are with the red ones

[@irhonda31]

The two garlands look good! The teddy bear stockings and pillow are so cute! I agree with the changes you mentioned trying, as well as removing the red pillows. Beautiful Christmas decorating!

[@AprilHeaton]

I love it! I personally like the red with all the other colors.

[@olliejolly2955]

Love love the tree don’t change anything especially the sentimental ornaments it’s what makes it special ❤️🎅🏼🤶🏻🎄🎄enjoy your beautiful home!🏡

[@sherrysmith1830]

Don’t change anything it all goes together beautifully

[@orietdiamond4185]

Love your style, Marie! And I think the red pillows bring your sofa to life!

[@sabrinab9991]

I’m team red pillows. I think it looks pretty and simple! Just enough. Nothing on coffee.

[@gingerzelidon3573]

I love it like it is! I'm sure any changes you make will still be beautiful! TFS!

[@katlynnmorris]

One more comment, I LOVE the art work, I am getting these from Etsy along with ones in your bedroom and those white trees are beautiful. Christmas tree is perfect

[@CheapCraftyGirl]

Glad you like them! I love them.

[@Pamelacheever]

Everything is perfection, don't change it unless you want to. I think also when you are done decorating nook and kitchen everything will look even more fabulous! Thank you Marie for giving us so much inspiration! Love the red pillows and the faux fur just adds to it.

[@sharylblomquist7547]

That tree is gorgeous

[@melissawilliams7943]

Love love love it. On the fireplace.and sofa table, you could put Mimi Christmas trees 🌲 and on coffee table all sizes of candles (maybe) but I love what you got. Those are just suggestions.. you are the only one I watch for dollar tree hauls and decorating. I just love your personality ❤️

[@sharonedwards-kk1pd]

It’s all just perfect! I really love the print of the three trees above your mantle.

[@brenda9513]

I like the red pillows. Live with awhile before changing. Everything beautiful.

[@angelihenkle7067]

Love your picture prints of trees. Good idea.

[@barbarahimes5625]

Everything is so beautiful. I really love the red pillows. ❤️👍

[@monicataylor9977]

I think this is one of the best Christmas rooms you have done. I have a thought about the fur pillows: Try rolling them into a bolster shape and use a wider ribbon (like 4") and just make a band around them, either in middle or at each end. That would solve them being just big and square. I would think maybe dark green if you can't match a red to your plaid. Maybe even a velvet to up the game. Your "plaid" is actually a tartan that is named : Stewart Dress

[@mariaduran7685]

I did the same with my youngest daughter with the ornaments she is in her 30s I still get her an ornament your tree is amazing

[@Arlene8134]

Very pretty! For the sofa table, maybe a pretty candy dish, a pretty Christmas coffee table book, candles.

[@kimMorgan4813]

I love the pillows. The red is lovely. Do what you like but I really like the pillow combo.

[@felicia2463]

Hi Marie. I think your living room looks gorgeous’ You did a fantastic job. I wouldn’t change anything. I think a Christmas tree should have ornaments that have meaning. Love you Marie!❤

[@eileennielsen5165]

Really, really like the pillows! Esp. the Teddy pillow, goes perfect w/ the others. 😊

[@lisamarie3328]

You know I’ve never thought about adding navy to green and red but it looks so good together!! I love that!! I also love that you just added the simple small red ribbon on the tree. So pretty Marie!!

[@tonisargent4695]

very classy christmas in your living room

[@marshacox2606]

Wow everything looks amazing. Love the stockings.

[@marylynmiller5158]

Love the plaid theme!

[@theresabrown1799]

Looks good as is. Only thing I would add is a candle to the coffee table

[@sharonb3887]

Wow! Everything looks stunning. Great job Marie. ❤

[@lydiagraham711]

It is beautiful Marie, love the garland and yes some fairy lights will complete the look. Remember live with for a while and you can always makes changes.

[@whoneedsabroome9368]

Red pillows looked great!

[@quiltingmell]

Absolutely brilliant Marie.❤

[@ks7343]

Oh Marie I love the plaid! And those teddy bear stockings are everything! Love how you pulled it all together. I think the red pillows look great! The help the plaid seem More Christmas! But overall you should do what you feel good with! A plaid runner on the coffee table would be cute!

[@kristythecraftypapersmith]

I'd put a couple of Christmas coffee table books and a seasonal candle. Just a small touch.

[@CheapCraftyGirl]

I like that, thank you!

[@DesiC-sp6ck]

that is such a great idea!

[@karendeckys331]

Marie, I love the living room set up. I think one brown tree on each table would be cute. definitely need something on coffee table. You are fantastic at decorating!

[@kimmartinez1006]

Love your tree this year! ❤️💙💚 Especially... the special ornaments scattered among the beautiful plaid color mix. That tree skirt! 😍 So happy you are in a happy place and providing us with beautiful inspiration! Have a Merry Christmas Marie! 🎅 💫🎄

[@donnalynn6646]

I would tie a little thin red ribbon on each of the stockings. I would add a pretty bowl with some of your ornaments in middle of your table. Or even a wreath in the middle of table in with some battery operated candles in center. I love how it looked with plaid pillow sofa added too. I need that bear pillow next🙆‍♀️🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 Absolutely gorgeous Marie!!!! I love EVERYTHING!!!!!

[@donnalynn6646]

The tree looks perfect ❤🎄

[@nicoledizio]

All the pillows ( red also) makes it look so inviting and cozy Christmas! Love the tree. Maybe some longer red ribbons like you did once before if I remember, if not leave it. Matches so well.

[@sierrabellatransportation9520]

Thank you for sharing you home! I love your all your decor! It may be the lighting on the red pillows. I can’ t tell for sure if it may be a brighter red and that is why it doesn’t seem to flow? The red in the plaid seems a darker shade. I love the tree and the sentimental ornaments! That is what makes it a home IMO. My mom has trained me to tuck a good amount of ornaments back further in the branches and not all on the surface. If that makes sense lol. Your home is stunning and you should just make sure it makes you smile.

[@jeandunn4134]

Love the tree picture!

[@lorraineklee9882]

I think you should put the red pillows on the chairs and the plaid ones on the couch. Living room looks great!!

[@kimshaw1348]

The red looked great!

[@jennapendleton518]

I really liked the red pillows

[@shellyrobertson7849]

Love it!! I feel the Ralph Lauren vibes from here in St. Louis! I like the way the couch looks. If you think you need to make a change perhaps try a red cover with a tiny print on it to break up the solid look. For the coffee table I’d try a round tray and add a candle, a little tree and a Ralph Lauren coffee table book. The side tables maybe a red, green or blue glass colored candy dish with Christmas candy. I absolutely love your style. So keep doing what you do! ❤

[@gaylefarmer5946]

I think it looks perfect! I am struggeling this year also!

[@Mappie1]

I’d suggest putting those red pillows back in. Helps to pop your blue and greens and red accents. Everything to me looks great!❤

[@vickygreen8064]

You really do a lot of work. Even changing the pictures. Goods really festive!

[@ginaferracini9375]

Hi i love everything in your home that you decorated loving the bear stockings your pillows the tree beautiful ❤🌟🥰🌲

[@jencortez5802]

I think incorporating some white pieces into the tree would be gorgeous

[@lindafischer1264]

I like the red pillows.

[@marthe1955]

I love the room, exactly how it is please keep the red pillows on the sofa. As for the coffee table, I would just get a low centerpiece with the same red green and blue colors. Love, love, love this room.

[@aishachante879]

I think replace the red pillows with darker green. The tree is perfect!!!

[@debramain1462]

Love the red pillows!!!!❤

[@notocharenee0411]

I love the red pillows…actually I liked the first set up with your sofa!❤

[@jessicasmoker7389]

I would do a tray on the coffee table with some hardcover books that go with your theme, and then a Christmas candle. 🎄

[@kayburris8464]

I think it look great just like it is.

[@sharilundberg3796]

Love the red pillows. I would put the plaid pillows in place of the navy blue, but that's just my opinion. Everything you do looks beautiful ❤

[@helenmcclellan452]

Warm and inviting!

[@virginiawisdom4374]

I liked the red pillows on the couch

[@jeanieturner5183]

Looks very pretty.

[@yolandamarin2102]

Im happy you are back home to celebrate the Christmas season. My favorites are the tree and mantel. The Pottery Barn pieces are beautiful. I agree with adding something simple maybe from your Christmas stash on the table. The red pillows were nice, it maybe the size of the navy pillows which I think you should keep that color. Perhaps play with the location of the blanket. Color selection is beautiful overall.

[@matildaestrada602]

I love it!!! Especially the pottery barn plaid it’s and the stockings. Maybe add some Christmas books to your coffee table red, blue green and cream to match your pottery barn plaid. Great job 🎄

[@darlenethompson898]

Love the pillow setup you have

[@sandyzuckerman9981]

Love the red, but it’s your home, you do what you like,

[@juliemosher6404]

I love adding the plaid pillows to the sofa! Your vibe, ala Ralph Lauren, is lovely❤

[@cynthiaquinteros]

Thank you for sharing and allowing me to enjoy your process. GORGEOUS!!

[@ChiChi-zm2uy]

Everything looks beautiful! The only thing I would add is some white Christmas tree balls so that the tree won't look so dark.

[@katiemarvin8898]

I love watching you decorate because your style is so different from mine. I love the plaid and teddy bears! I like your minimal, simple decorating while at my house it looks like Christmas vomited everywhere 😂 An idea for the tree: you could add bigger ball ornaments in your color scheme but in a different texture. I noticed this year all my ball ornaments were about the same size. So I grabbed some big balls 😂 and it makes a difference! For the coffee table, you could add a simple tray with a small tree, candle and decorative coasters. Happy decorating!

[@dianedeminie6630]

I loved the look of the red pillows on your couch. It’s very classy .. I would have added green pillows in place of the fur pillows.

[@patmarler3812]

Your tree is beautiful just the way it is.

[@Loulou-sm1jk]

Hi Marie! Your living room looks beautiful! The fireplace area is stunning. The mantle is beautiful with the stockings. Leaving the tables empty, I think is a good idea. The plaid throughout, in your pillows blanket and stockings is beautiful. Your tree is gorgeous! The sofa table looks perfect!! TFS!! Love from Minnesota (where we DO get tons of snow😂) 🥰❤️🌲

[@cherylthomas7421]

Marie I think it looks great. Love your channel ❤️

[@sandyaxelrod4631]

I love it as is!
