Old Home Christmas Decorate with Me Part 1 // Dining Room & Entryway

[@KrystaMeeker]

Thank you for getting into the Christmas Spirit with me! Be sure to go watch Sarah’s video next! 🎄✨ kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6Wlm5iebM-apKM

[@cecilia954]

It's all so pretty. I really love your dark furniture and woodwork! It made me so sad a few years ago when everyone was painting their beautiful furniture white.

[@jazie29]

I have to say- what I love the most about your videos is that it’s not TOO much!! You’ve inspired me to thrift and get a little creative. I love that you make use of what you have, show how to use thrifted decor in different ways for different seasons, and just don’t make me feel like I have to spend a lot. Your style is soft but so elegant and I hope to bring the same style to my home. ❤

[@KrystaMeeker]

Thank you so much!! Social media has a way of making us feel like we need to go overboard. I definitely invested in some things this year but tried to keep it specific to things I’ll use for years! I’m all about a beautiful home on a budget! Happy decorating friend!! ❤️

[@christinewilliams7005]

I love that color of red in your ribbons.

[@teresaramos1719]

It's sooo refreshing to see young people embracing the vintage treasures that make Christmas truly fairytale and meaningful...tradition that goes back 2000 years or so...Jesus is the reason for the season after all..right???

[@DD-hy1nl]

You know what I love, you're young, but you really appreciate vintage pieces in your home. Love the old vintage Christmas feel to your home too. 👍

[@caroljilla9379]

Loved your drink station. You really have amazing talent how you put things together. Just a beautiful home. So different from so many others. The banister look so real. Loved the greenery on those smaller wreaths and red bows.

[@jodymcnary1306]

How refreshing. I have watched so Christmas tours that are so over the top. I'm so glad I found your channel!! Your style is classic and creative. Well done. I look forward to seeing what you come up with next!!

[@peggydove8756]

I like the less look! Its not so busy, much prettier! Beautiful home!

[@ksl2634]

I'm overjoyed to find a YT-er that has the same aesthetic and taste as my own! Love this so much!!! ❤️🤍

[@KrystaMeeker]

❤️❤️❤️

[@waltersiegfried8550]

Love your style of simplicity and elegance. Also for such a young person, I love that you decorate with vintage and doily touches.

[@maryjomathews4749]

Came over from Sarah's channel. You are a girl after my own heart. I love the simplicity of your holiday decor. I always seem to have toddlers around too with nine grandchildren. I want them to remember grandma's house during the holidays so I try to keep it simple but beautiful. One of my grandsons that lives with us part time (he is 5) always thanks me for putting things out for different seasons. He melts my heart.

[@KrystaMeeker]

Aww, and they absolutely will always remember how magical your house was during the holidays! 🎄❤️

[@MonicaBazemore]

✨GORGEOUS✨ I feel you on the overstimulating days with a toddler! I’m aiming to keep my decor less cray cray for that same reason.🙃 Another beautiful job, love your videos!❤

[@d.dorough]

First video I've seen on your channel and must say a giant thank you for not playing obnoxious Christmas/ Holiday muzak! Now, I'll say that its a real thing of beauty to see a home that is filled with much loved items and not just "filler" merchandise bought at every big box store that have no meaning to the owner. This is a beautiful video showing the love that has been put into your home. Well done! Merry Christmas to you and your family ❤️

[@KrystaMeeker]

Thank you so much for your kind words!! I completely agree on eliminating all the filler stuff! It can be such a waste of money and space, then when it goes out of style you’re purchasing new. Classic vintage pieces are the way to go! So happy you enjoyed! ☺️❤️

[@pennysantana7809]

Everything looks so elegant and classy. Definitely matching the time period of your home I would say. I absolutely love the simplistic beauty in it, great job. As always God bless and stay safe 🙏 ❤️

[@marvarhode8437]

Love the black accents, ribbon,and balls.....the amber balls were beautiful......enjoyed the decorating so much.

[@lindamcmahon9841]

I absolutely love all the greenery and velvet floppy red bows with the fairy lights. I’m a minimalist and only bring out a few quality items like a Nativity Scene, porcelain Angels and Santas, snow globes, ceramic Christmas trees, and some beautiful textiles. I love watching your videos and look forward to more ❤

[@laceywright8933]

Your videos always feel so magical and special. Such simple touches make the biggest statements in your displays. You home is lovely from roof to floor. A fairytale Christmas indeed. 🎄🎄🎄

[@KrystaMeeker]

Thank you so much Lacey!! Hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving! ❤️✨

[@debbiemize2269]

I was so excited to come across this video! I live in an 1896 Victorian home, and am looking for new ideas for Christmas decorating. I have done the same thing for 25 years and am ready for something different!

[@cameliafranco4497]

Beautiful beautiful video!!🎄🌲🍂

[@susanvelez6534]

That is what I’m doing I’m doing my nutcracker display in the entry way foyer / the manual with two stocking, I’m putting up the pencil tree with no ornaments just the lights. I lost my mama and my kids are grown and will not be visiting me this year. Therefore I’m going super simple. We will be traveling to Austin TX for a week. Very different for me 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@KrystaMeeker]

Aww, Susan I’m so sorry to hear about your Mom. This is my first year without my Mama too and it’s just not the same. I’ve been having a bit of trouble getting into the spirit this year for that reason so I understand how you feel. Sending you lots of love this holiday season!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@susanvelez6534]

@@KrystaMeeker oh honey love is coming right back at you. I can not tell you how many times I go to call her I am still having a hard time and as you mentioned it will never be the same. She was my best friend and the glue that kept us all together. It just sucks it really does. I can empathize with you on loosing your mama and not really feeling motivated, I’m so sorry, your much younger than I am. They say god can not give us more than we can handle but for me it has been devastating. Thank you for your beautiful heart felt message. God Bless you and your family, may he give you that strength sweetie. Have the best Holiday you can and know that, the grieving will take who knows how long and THATS OKAY. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@KrystaMeeker]

I’m so very sorry!! I know those feelings so well. My mom was my best friend also, she was my person and enduring the loss of her has been much more difficult because the one person I want to confide in during such a difficult time is her. I imagine you know exactly what I mean, and I’m so sorry you do. My mom was only 54 when she passed, just far too young but I hear it never feels like enough time no matter how long you have with them. I hope you find comfort in your memories with her and knowing she’s never far. On a side note, Austin is a fun place so a change may be nice and I hope you find moments of joy within this difficult time. ❤️

[@susanvelez6534]

@@KrystaMeeker That’s what I hear too. I’m going because I don’t want to be alone. Oh darling she was so young? Do you mind if I ask what she had. I was a nurse that quit after Covid ( that was horrific) too. I’ll be here for you it’s good to talk to people that don’t know you that can be objective and that are feeling what your feeling. My heart is with you. If you ever need to talk or scream we can chat. Your a doll, I’m so sorry hon. Your right it’s never enough time with them

[@KrystaMeeker]

@@susanvelez6534 thank you for your kindness! It’s nice just to connect with others who are walking the grief path, it sure isn’t easy but we’re not alone. It is horrific, I know because I saw it first hand as that’s what my mom passed from and I spent a lot of time for weeks in that unit of the hospital with her. She had other factors that contributed and really created a perfect storm. I’m very fortunate to have my aunt (her sister) who was also incredibly close with her to walk through a lot of these tough moments with. My heart goes out to you also this season, dear friend! ❤️

[@maren807]

So beautiful! When I saw you use dollies I knew I'd love your channel 😅🤗. New subscriber! Can't wait to see more of your videos 😁.

[@brendabrooks9699]

Same here. I love doilies . I have them throughout my house that I actually made myself. I love antiques. By the way I mean I made the doilies not the house by my husband built that lol.

[@tammyr6669]

Your decor is stunning! I could not pick a piece that I like the best, but you banister is amazing! I'm pretty sure I would have to leave a lot of that up for everyday and just enjoy it! Thank you for sharing and I look forward to the next video. ❤

[@TinaBambina]

[@jaynebrown693]

Hi Kristen ~ I’m coming over from Sarah’s channel and what a treat this is ! This is lovely. I agree with investing in good garland and greenery that will last for years. I have done that for over 40 years! Then when I want a change after 6-8 years give it to someone else. But now that our daughters are grown with families and houses of their own, I pass it on them! Which I love doing and seeing our daughters get excited and use it in their homes. So it is worth the money spent ! We actually have a “granddaughter” getting married next year and they have bought a home and renovating, so she is excited to shop at grandma’s and place it in storage! Yup…I’m old ! Truly love the simplicity of how you have decorated. I feel it is a rich, elegant and classic feel. Love it ! Happy Thanksgiving! Can’t wait to see more from you !

[@KrystaMeeker]

Thank you so much Jayne!! I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed. What a lovely thing to do for the young women in your family, it can be expensive to invest in all new Christmas decor especially when getting settled into a new home. Thank you for taking the time to watch and for your kind words. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving! ❤️
