Find Your Christmas Decor Style ~ Cottage, Classic, Farmhouse, Vintage and Neutral Christmas Decor

[@relativelyrefined]

I had so much fun making this video? Did you see your style reflected? Let me know what you like - Classic Claus? Farmhouse Fa La La? Or a little of everything?!

[@mc2120]

Im classic with a touch of vintage and cottage

[@relativelyrefined]

A great combination!

What a lovely video. I am much more eclectic. I live on the ocean in coastal New England so my everyday decor is heavily ocean blue and blue green so I need to pay attention to that. I have a lot of resin star fish that I hang on the tree. I also use my dried hydrangeas as filler between the tree branches. The “Sputnik” ornaments I used to make with my grandmother. Styrofoam balls covered with scrap fabric and scrap ribbon. Sequins and pins from the craft of fabric store. A very fun craft!

[@relativelyrefined]

Oh my goodness - your Christmas decor sounds so lovely! I would love to see a picture of your tree with the hydrangeas - such a great idea!

Married 56 years, all of the styles brought back lovely memories of Christmases past. A favorite Christmas was 1979 when large red fabric (like velvet) bows were the rage. On a small budget, I bought one yard of red flannel ($1.50), spray starched and ironed to crispness, cut into strips with scissors and pipe cleaner fastened into bows. I thought it was wonderful!

[@relativelyrefined]

Cindy I just love to hear stories like the one of you cutting and starching the bows for your Christmas in 1979! Those are such precious memories aren't they?

[@merrylmarsh9037]

This was tremendously enjoyable. I did not want this visit to end.😁 All those delightful decorations gave me inspiration. So, thank you for the time and effort you have gone to to get us into the spirit.

[@relativelyrefined]

Thanks so much! 😊

A very fun video. I loved seeing the different styles described. My style varies from year to year, but never too far outside a cottage/farmhouse theme. Looking forward to more videos as the season gets into full swing.

[@relativelyrefined]

I love a cottage Christmas!! So cozy and warm!

[@Vicki-fg7sx]

Oh, what a fun video! Loved it. ❤ I think I am a classic claus but also...cottage. ;) Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

[@relativelyrefined]

So glad you enjoyed it! Happy Thanksgiving 🍽

[@JShow78]

I am a mix of classic claus and cozy cottage ❤

[@relativelyrefined]

A great combination!

[@VivianMarySiismets]

One of your top five videos! Thanks for inspiring us for the holiday season. I too am slow to decorative for Christmas. I love Thanksgiving and fully embrace the true spirit of being thankful for all in my life. The food plan and prep is what I really love to spoil my family with! Just being together.

[@relativelyrefined]

Thank you so much!! Your kind words have made our day. Enjoy your Thanksgiving…family and food are the greatest of gifts

[@shannonjohnson2105]

I loved this video also. I’m a little bit of everything except for the Retro. I didn’t know about that one . I like it .

[@relativelyrefined]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lauraflores5777]

Wow! I would have been in big trouble at the Mount Pleasant Mall. I would have been compelled to buy way too many things. 😂Thanks for sharing!

[@relativelyrefined]

It’s definitely a dangerously fabulous place! Thanks for watching! XO

[@marybeth4002]

Oh, how I loved this video! While I fall into the Classic Claus category, I admire and have pieces from all of the other Christmas categories as well. Paula, I hope you find a satin, beaded, ornament to add to your decor this year. I have those same ornaments that my mother made in the 60's (I have vivid memories of her making them with the neighborhood ladies) and I treasure them. You would have to drag me out of that marketplace mall - it was delightful!! Looking forward to seeing the sweet trees for both of your daughters - ❤🎄🎅

[@relativelyrefined]

Thank you, Mary Beth! I am crossing my fingers that I can find those sequined ornaments. Maybe not in time for this Christmas - but I will keep looking! So glad you enjoyed this video!

[@terriestapley5475]

This Was FUN🎁 Thanks For Sharing The Many Faces of Christmas Decorating♥️

[@relativelyrefined]

Thank you ! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. ❤️

[@gloriaburton6213]

Lil bit of everything 🎄

[@relativelyrefined]

Me too!

[@sheiklablount5862]

At least 4 of the styles are reflected in my decor. Thanks for sharing the descriptions.

[@relativelyrefined]

I am also and eclectic elf! LOL

[@barbaracarlson1331]

I love the Cottage Journal too! I am a bit of each but focus on the traditional Colonial/English style along with a bit of cottage (I have dried oodles of orange and apple slices.). ❤

[@relativelyrefined]

That is a wonderful style!! Thank you for watching! XO

[@neenamorgan6958]

What a colorful, beautiful video. I would consider myself as an eclectic tree decorator, loving a little bit of any and everything.

[@relativelyrefined]

You are not alone in that category. Glad you enjoyed the video! XO

[@cindiblazer8621]

My Christmas decorations are classic. I do add red and white candy canes to the tree. Started that when our children were young.

[@relativelyrefined]

Such a fun tradition - the candy canes! My brothers always used to sneak them off and eat them whenever my mom put them on the tree! LOL

[@kimmcbride2081]

I really enjoyed this video. My style is Retro Reindeer. I have been fortunate to get my grandma's decorations from the 60's & 70's and love all the pieces. Last year I went to my local thrift store After-Christmas (decor) sale, and found a bag of 8 beaded, statin ornaments all of them vintage for $2! What Luck! They are so pretty and unique!

[@relativelyrefined]

Oh my goodness ... I am envious of all your vintage ornaments! I have "ornamenvy"!! LOL

[@KarenBowers4]

I feel like one of the other comments I'm a mixture of about 4 styles. Most of my decorations are vintage hand me downs from my mom and granny, plus many brought over the years. I also have thrifted many wonderful timeless decorations.

[@relativelyrefined]

You would be an "eclectic elf". I am as well! LOL

[@nancychestnut8928]

At Christmas, more is more! I'm a classic Spice Christmas tree girl. My glasses are vintage skiers. I have a small collection of50's reindeer, all sizes. I donated half of my vintage santas. They were sold in 4 hours! Guess I'm eclectic too. Happy holidays to everyon.

[@relativelyrefined]

I absolutely love Spode Christmas! A true classic!

[@lynnpierce2464]

I’m a Cottage girl. 🏡

[@relativelyrefined]

Love cottage style

[@herbertbowen6456]

I honestly believe, I am a little bit of every decor style. Loved this video!!!

[@relativelyrefined]

Thanks, mom! xoxo

[@ArleneKorth]

I believe i am just a wee bit of each style.

[@relativelyrefined]

You are not alone! ❤️

[@kathleenharrington5856]

Really fun, thanks Paula!

[@relativelyrefined]

Thank you!

[@barbaracarlson1331]

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

[@relativelyrefined]

Thank you and happy Thanksgiving to you as well. XO

[@patriciathompson1257]

This was such a fun video! I lean toward Classic Claus, but I certainly love and appreciate all of the styles. ❤️

[@relativelyrefined]

Thank you

[@Foxlairmktg]

So many interesting styles - mine isn't any one, as I love elements of several of them - Classic, Farmhouse, Cottage, with touches of Neutral and Retro, so I guess that makes me an Eclectic Elf...lol. Such gorgeous ornaments, too, and those Spode turkey plates at $50 for 8 - so charming at a fabulous price! ! I love so much of the turkey transferware dinnerware. (Yes, "His Majesty" is a classic Johnson Brothers turkey pattern.) I'd have found those Spode plates too hard to resist! Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and deserves the full treatment through November, whenever it falls on the calendar, so I don't do any Christmas decorating until December 1.

[@relativelyrefined]

Thanks so much for you sweet comments - and for the info about "His Majesty". I really love that pattern! Thanksgiving is such a wonderful holiday - all my kids say it is their favorite! It absolutely deserves the full treatment! I agree 100%!

[@cd2659]

I am a smidge of them all. I love tartan, jewel tones, retro bulbs, lots of silver and cozy everything.

[@relativelyrefined]

Yes to all of those!! Thank you for watching!

[@judithsharrar8706]

Loved seeing ideas in other places. Our area doesn’t have very many cute shops like this to get ideas. I guess my style is a mixture of classic, retro, whimsical, and vintage. I collected Santas for along time and would put them out but I’m little tired of them so have tried other things like the icy wintery look. Snowmen. I really didn’t have time to think about great styles as I was busy working but now that I’m retired I can spend more time decorating. Those big slivered pine cones reminded me of the pineapple pieces that they use down south to say welcome. And I love pretty paper napkins too. I’m using some of those beautiful sequined balls from the 1960’s as I found some this past weekend at a church white elephant sale.

[@relativelyrefined]

Oh, what a great find - the sequined ornaments!! I so want to find some of those!! Enjoy your retirement!!! You earned it! :)

[@margiearndt6588]

So fun Paula!

[@relativelyrefined]

Thank you!

[@justineclark5431]

I'm definitely in the classics camp in my dining \ sitting room, where our Christmas tree is. I also love cozy cottage in my kitchen, and back hallway. In my bedroom, which is decorated with red and white toile wall paper, red and white buffalo check, bed skirt, shams, and table covering, I put a table top tree with vintage ornaments. I would love to find an aluminum tree, and decorate it in pink, and aqua ornaments! I think that probably will never happen, as they are not very easy to find at a reasonable price! Thank you, Paula for this fantastic video!

[@relativelyrefined]

Justine - I am so glad you enjoyed the video!! I also love a mix of styles. They all make me happy!

[@beverlymartin1414]

Great visit - I have a sore knee and you walked us thu ❤❤❤❤❤❤Thank-you

[@relativelyrefined]

I’m sorry about your knee. So glad you enjoyed our visit. ❤️

[@AntoinetteKnight-k6u]

Definitely a retro reindeer here! Such an illuminating video, thanks! I really enjoy all of the visits with you and your sisters.

[@relativelyrefined]

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the video!

[@kharden5104]

Hey Paula, really enjoyed this video. What a sweet gesture for the girls rooms, I can't wait to see.

[@relativelyrefined]

Thank you! Stay tuned! ❤️

[@nancychestnut8928]

That would be Spode, not spice. Haha.
