trying to THRIFT all my christmas decor for my new house

[@kathleencarver]

This might not be the right retro vibe you’re going for but I think dried up orange slices would look cute in your house

[@Cooper.Academy.]

@investwithnicole Let's Talk on telegram 👆👆📲📲📲📈📈••• I've got something to introduce to you okay.......

[@5cree]

Agreed! 🍊 Oranges are a great vibes for traditional Christmases. :) 🎄

[@ReadAndThrift]

I saw one other person comment that they wish the tree was on a box or stand or something to give it height and I came here to say the same thing! It would look so good with some height to it

[@SeaTurtle515]

I was born 1955. We never had a silver tree, my mom couldn’t stand them. We always had a beautiful green tree with lovely traditional and sentimental ornaments. Back in the day, we never tried to match our holiday decor with our house decor theme. We just decorated for Christmas. Enjoy!

[@kimwatson7463]

I’m the same age and we too had traditional Christmas decorations.

[@JayofallTrades]

My mom was born in 56 always wanted tinsel but her mom would never allow it on her green tree. Never had a silver tree ever. This year its all purple tree and I'm okay with it 😂 i like color

[@dianaw4072]

My mom was born in 56 and I still have some ornaments from her. They are so beautiful and simple and I would buy more like them if I could. 🥰

[@ahooten1955]

I also was born in 1955 and had traditional Christmas decor and Trditions. We had tinsel. We would remove it and my brother and I would put the new/now old tinsel from the previous year's tree and my Dad would put on the new for that year.

[@kerryprzytula7]

I'm sure that's what the people were doing with silver trees. Just enjoying their home that is perfect to them.

[@kathyfrench4051]

I'm 65. Been collecting all styles for many years. I have three tree that I swap out. One is a green traditional one is white and one is pink. One year I'll go whimsical one year glam and one year I'll go traditional. No need to use everything every year. It's fun changing it up every year

[@jeanninef2110]

Yes! Me too! Almost same age as you, and every year my tree has a different vibe! We only have a green one….but would like a second one eventually (maybe flocked)…one year I put up all my dragonfly collection as ornaments! Btw, I loved the old lights in the beautiful mason jar! As is! I would use it as a decor piece on a table!

[@jeanninef2110]

@thesorrygirls…..nice! Btw, to be safe, you can get battery operated candles to put up on your mantle! Way safer! I found some while thrifting too!!

[@OldBlueJeansXo]

Becky, for a free skirt use a blanket that you have around that has the colour and feel that you fit the vibe of your room!

[@mjsimm]

I was going to suggest the same, plaid with orange and green etc.

[@sourdoughchocobo]

Why did I not see this comment sooner! Great tip 👍

[@mjsimm]

@@sourdoughchocobo I have an old wool plaid that I use some years and old quilts that are kinda not fit for a bed but great for under a tree or folded on a shelf.

Hope to see you back in this area again! *Second comment because I think my first one was deleted because I mentioned my booth name

[@ml8184]

The thing with decorating anything is, just do you. When we are not confined by the need to fit into certain styles, we will find more joy and freedom into channeling our creativity and happiness through our creations. Just do what feels happy and right to you. Enjoy the process not to please other people's aesthetic standards but your's. Have a good holiday month y'all.

[@michellecollard760]

Our 60’s tree WAS a silver aluminum tree with the color wheel. We went from real tree to the silver and we were IN LOVE. We thought it so fancy.

[@runsoffsarcasmcoffee8303]

Gorgeous ornaments! Love the vintage vibe. You should raise up the tree on a platform so it better fits the room since you have such tall ceilings now. I remember seeing that at malls (in the US) in the 70's and 80's where they had trees up on big blocks. Maybe give it a try?? You never know!

[@JL11775]

I know you don’t like the 60s retro Christmas trees but as a child we had a silver tree with red and green ornaments as well as a color wheel that projected different colors onto the tree and I loved it! My sisters and I would lay down on the carpet and just stare at the tree all night. A favorite Christmas memory of mine. Merry Christmas to you, Austin, and sweet Danny!

[@denisepaul7274]

Yep, I remember the rotating color wheel for the silver tree! Grandparents has one.

[@ruru110685]

I remember plastic tinsely garlands, chunky colorful string lights, ridiculous amounts of tinsel everywhere, lots of sparkly ornaments.

[@tigerlilytarot2402]

I had that too!! I thot that wheel was THE coolest thing lol

[@MBMCincy63]

When the tree my sister got began to fall apart, she let me keep the color wheel light. I arrived in 63, she was 15 years older and as a 'tween of 12 I thought having a changing nightlight was the coolest thing! Lol

[@sadee1287]

Wow - I used to lay under our tree as well and gaze up at the lights and ornaments. My mom, sisters and I made one ornament out of a styrofoam ball and about a MILLION multicoloured sequins. I would spin it like a miniature disco ball and admire the sparkly reflective effect. :)

[@gigik6334]

I was born in the 50's. Most people I knew , including me, always had real trees. And, of course, icicles! Also, big colored lights with angel hair covering them to soften the glow.

[@cindymichaud7111]

Me too! We had Charlie Brown trees. Sometimes Dad would drill holes in the tree trunk and stick in branches. He'd cut down a big tree, use the top for our tree, put the rest in the wood pile. We had lots of Angel Hair and tinsel, the Nativities would be set up. The whole house glowed. My Mom and Dad were not people of means, but we had the happiest times. Merry Christmas, Gigi, and to everyone! God Bless 💖😇🌟👼👑🦁🐑🕊✝🙏💖🎄🎁🎅❄🐦💖

[@thelittlecaravanner7748]

Same for my family! And popcorn garland a few times.

[@nessazee]

Question: what is Angel hair? The only kind I’m familiar with is pasta lol

[@cindymichaud7111]

@@nessazee I'm not sure if they sell it any more. It's a roll or package of folded, extremely fine, white "Angel Hair". It's silken and so pretty, it's laid on the tree and spread out like a veil. It's got nothing to do with pasta, lol!!! 🤣🤣🤣 😇❤✴🐏🐫🥁👼👑🕊🦁🐑✝🙏❤🎄🎁🎅🍬❤

I love seeing Becky learn this style! Why do you guys not do videos together anymore? I do love the individual videos, but I miss you guys tackling videos together.

[@sashagoodall]

[@KelseyCodes]

IIRC each month they do one together, and then the other three videos that month are individual

[@Emjay.d]

@@KelseyCodes i thought the same thing, but they haven’t been together in a video in 3 months since the diy hotel challenge with Kelsey and Becky. And before that it was a while too.

[@TassieM12]

I suspect it’s partially because of Becky moving and not being in office every day. Their office is in Toronto, and based on the house tour and where Becky is thrifting in this one, I’m pretty confident she’s quite a ways out of the city now, so it’s not as convenient to go in to film videos together.

[@jfederle1872]

We went through x-mad stuff ourselves with stringing popcorn for garlands around the tree. The ornaments were homemade citrus slices and apple slices and glitter pine cones and wax and dough ornaments. That was the 70s

[@lanafletch6520]

I literally rearrange my house every year for Christmas and it is never the same. I always try and center a tree in a window. Always use more than one tree. Love the orange glass ornaments!

[@sydniwhitley1002]

I feel like you would appreciate the "true" retro tree - a green tree with multi colored lights, funky-shaped and bright colored mercury class ornaments and tinsel!

[@Kaylinsummer]

I did a Scandinavian tree with vintage mercury glass bulbs & I think it still has the MCM vibe.

[@5cree]

That sounds lovely 😊 ❤

My interpretation of "retro" christmas style is sentimental items, multi-colour lights, and cheery/cozy touches. I lean more to the red, teal, orange, pink, and purple of the 40's and 50's.

[@SherittaNesbitt]

[@ccraneem7894]

It’s like 1950’s-60’s-70’s Christmas with some Scandinavian touches which is literally all my Christmas decore. However all my wood is red and most of my ornaments are wood as well. I like the white & tan, it’s not my style but it’s cool to see the same thing have a different feel!

[@marjielalonde3875]

You totally scored with the amber glassware! `Woodsy retro` is how i see your style, but whatever you call it, it works beautifully in the house. I was born in 1950 and our tree was always a real one, my mum and dad were both very artsy (Dad an artist, mum a drama teacher) and they would never put a silver tree in their house! lol . We lived in England til I was 14 though so I don`t know if the trees were a North American thing or what. I remember having the birds with the clips though.

[@ItsWhateverality]

Am I the only one who was thinking "a like 8 foot tree would look so good and really fill in that tree corner" but your tree is so cute and cozy and as long as it makes you happy to see it there that's all that matters, even if it doesn't match the rest of the decor perfectly!

[@Spicevice_]

She def needs a larger tree, she’s got the space now. It will also allow her to get the vibe across with out the over crowding of ornaments !

I grew up during the 50s 60s and 70s, we never had a metal Christmas tree, it was always real or faux evergreen tree, but there was silver tinsel on it every year. By the way if you choose to put tinsel on your tree, it MUST be put on one strand at a time. Enjoy and have fun!

[@edenwest7044]

a good hack for Christmas tree-skirts is cutting a thick card board into a cone the size of the tree skirt then cut a slit to be able to wrap the card board around the tree add stick on velcro to secure it shut and the skirt on to the card board keeps the skirt in place and it won't wrinkles :)

[@lisaduncan-purcell1450]

I have to put myself in context, I was born in 1955. Spent my childhood in the '60s and my teenage years and college years in the 70s. Never in my life has my family ever had a metal tree for Christmas. The magazines put those ridiculous aluminum trees everywhere, but my parents always bought a little pine tree from the local tree lot. I don't think my mother ever bought a fake tree while I was living at home. So don't feel like you're not in keeping with the era of your home when you get a warm and cozy Christmas tree. I love watching your videos, have a very happy Christmas!

I sometimes use just a length of fabric for a tree skirt, especially when my color needs are not very Christmassy. Also a large basket might work, then with fake presents in the basket...the crock was a great idea, but not that particular one.

An old MCM quilt or fabric in you colors, white fur like your rugs at the fireplace, burlap, whatever! Everything looks amazing!

[@TheAUSinLON]

I move two tall plant shelves that live in front of a large window for 10.5 months, so the tree can be enjoyed from both the outside as well as our living room. As for the Christmas theme throughout the apartment I don't really have one, but all the decor is gold, royal blue and purple. The decor is a mixture of vintage, thrifted, things from January sales and my mother. We'll be hosting Christmas day for the 3rd time and I'm already stressed, but all the cold drinks make the day go faster in the heat. Just decorate for Christmas and enjoy.

[@brittanywinn3955]

Tree skirt: we moved into a house with taller ceilings and our tree was just dwarfed in the room. I put our tree on a box and wrapped a big cozy blanket around it. It turned out perfectly.

[@RainbowPuddles]

I Love the 70 foil garlands that are like an accordion oh and the puffy racoon tail looking garlands in seperate red, green, gold, silver. Acually the silver was saved for the foil icicles that we all know now are so bad. same i like the retro galss balls and the ones that are so fragile theres always one that breaks and when they do its like silver glass on the inside. at the farm when i was small we would always have a 10' tree and when we moved we always cut down the biggest one that would fit in the house. the smell of a real xmas tree and a wood fire give me warm cozy feelings. oh and cant forget the red velvet xmas dresses and patent leather shoes i had to wear as a kid. omg i just rememberd we used to have a train running around the base of the tree on the velvet skirt. plus big red stockings hung by the fire with your names. plus a 20' communal dinning table with every chair/stool/bench/milk can in the house used lol noone wanted the milk can lol. i guess its more than aesthetic its a felling.

I would be thrilled to see you DIY some funky stockings using thrifted materials or even remnants you may have at home, you could look at some examples of vintage stockings in department store catalogue archives or even old family photos! For the tree skirt if you have more of those sheepskins they would look great, or even a cozy blanket could work.

[@southerngypsy13]

Some of the retro 70's is ice cycles, drop bulbs, little bulbs that had like star things on the front for middle of the tree. BUBBLE BULBS and twinkle lights multi colors, beaded garland, or tinsel garland, folded paper stars or bells, just a few things. Always, candy cane and chocolate Santas that hung on the tree. Ice Cycles made out of strands of thin long thin tin foils strips called ice cycles. Peace!

[@Cherishedprints-stationery]

I grew up with my mom's 70's Christmas decorations. She was married in 1972. She told me her tree was all gold. She had a sparse-style fake tree. All gold lights with a really cool faceted cover on them. Satin thread-wrapped balls. Later, she added a red satin ball and bows to the gold ornaments when my dad grew tired of the monochromatic tree. It was simple but really pretty.

I grew up in the “mid century”, and though the neighbors had aluminum trees, we never did. Ours was more traditional, with no real theme, but always had lots of silver tinsel. In MY house, we did the same thing: The tree was traditional green, we had lots and lots of various ornaments, and finished with “tinsel”, though ours was made in the blacksmith’s shop at a nearby museum. Every year, we took the kids, and all of us got to use his tools to twist a piece of tin tinsel to take home. We pack our tree with ornaments, and hang the tinsel last. It has a little movement, and catches the light. And just pulls it all together. Now that the kids are all grown, our tree is just 4 ft tall, with mostly homemade and special ornaments…..and tinsel. It’s still beautiful, and I love knowing that a lot of the tinsel is on my daughters’ trees, carrying on the tradition.

I was born in '52 in Scotland where Christmas became a holiday in 1958. We moved to Canada in '55. Mum bought a silver tree. Mum was orphaned and as she adapted to Canadian life was fashionably fun. But I totally agree that festive style is a conundrum.

[@Christina-hj4hh]

We do a loose woodland theme for our tree but the most of our ornaments are actually ones we’ve collected on our travels. We buy a new Christmas decoration on every trip. So it’s a bit of a hodgepodge of decorations. There’s the Viking from Iceland, alongside a goat garland from Morocco and a “lady of the night” in the window of a house from Amsterdam. We started the tradition with a handmade dried grass angel we bought on our honeymoon in Prague and carried on ever since. The filler ornaments include woodland creatures, birds nests, bird houses and pine cones

[@SkySaintdragon]

My christmas style is definitely eclectic. The more colourful/unique the ornaments the better. Mum and I go christmas ornament shopping each year which I really love since I have great memories for each ornament I have collected so far. My mum is definitely a christmas maximalist, she managed to break her old tree because she put too many ornaments on it. She has ornaments from when I was a child and from different places we have visited overseas. Also a separate tree for her reindeer collection. Yes. She has a 'reindeer tree' to make sure you can see all the reindeer ornaments she has collected and to make sure they don't get lost in her massive (9 ft) tree. It takes 3 days to decorate the tree in her house, and she still fusses with it afterwards to make sure all the ornaments are placed correctly. There are tonnes of great memories each time we decorate the tree as we tell stories about the ornaments we hang up. There are always ornaments that we have forgotten about so there is some fun surprises each year. I have also gotten into a habit of gifting christmas ornaments to my friends for their trees. Decorating for christmas has always been important to me so I try to pass the fun memories on when I can.

I still have a lot of those older ornaments and I also gave my daughter and son in law and grand kids some of the older ornaments because I wanted my daughter to enjoy those ornaments that were her grandparents. I also remember that the tree skirt that my parents had was made from felt and had some decor onround it that my mom made from beads and sequens I still have those they are just no longer attatched to the tree skirt that wore out. Thanks for a really fun video that I loved watching, Merry Christmas to you, Austin and cute Danny, stay safe and happy, sending love and hugs, bye!! 🥰💚🌺❄☃🎄

Green tree, lots of tinsel, large bulb colored lights, vintage glass ornaments

My family always has a "Christmas tree spot" and we definitely keep it empty all year until November 😂

i'm in love with the fireplace corner!

[@laineyengland5837]

I was so hoping you were going to do tinsel!! I love a good vintage tinsel filled tree

[@tgeetoo9451]

Yes!! Tinsel!!

[@natmanzoccothriftdiy1222]

I'm totally a 60s tinsel tree guy but I can totally see why people don't dig that super manmade aesthetic at the holidays. Woodsy/antique makes perfect sense for Becky's place IMO! Looking forward to seeing more

We have a 4ft memory tree in the hall with handmade ornaments/decorations brought either for us or what we bought on our travels,so a very varied tree. In the past I did all antiques maroons with gold but found it too dark,so now have purples/golds/creams on the lounge tree al9ng with a fibre optic small tree with bookcases and inglenook fireplace all decorated, then in the dining room I've 4 trees ,one 4foot twig( white) tree decorated all with birds of different sizes and shapes,2 smaller white twig trees with glass thin teardrops/icicles, then 6ft white snow flock tree with bronze antique metal decorations,then blue and gold baubles and then just ligh6s in the kitchen. Takes a whole day to decorate ☺️

We always had a flocked tree and my mother put on white lights and a one color theme balls. Simply beautiful. Late 50s and early 60s. Flocked trees were very expensive so my dad started to do the flocking himself. Lovely memories!

As a 70's kid, we always had a real tree but tinsel did feature heavily, but not the Icicle tinsel. My parents had a ring that for over the top branch of the tree that had long stands of tinsel on it. After putting it over the top (just under the star/angel) you soul then spread the tinsel out around the tree. It was then "carefully packed away for the next year. My parents had that until into the 90's

I think I would call Becky’s style ‘Warm Vintage/Traditional Christmas’ 🎄 ❤

Loooove the amber orange. I think the nutcracker could use some TLC to make him even more 70s :) Also love that for autumn decor at the old house you went colourful, and here you're going more simple (and orange!). the orange just plays so well with the palette of your house/surroundings. merry christmas!!!!

Here in The Netherlands 🇳🇱 we didn't really sell fake Christmas trees in the 60s/70s. My Parents (b.1931/b.1933) always had a real tree. "Our" Christmas decoration style slowly chanded over their 50+ year marriage. As a small child, in 1976, I still remember we had real Christmas candles in our real tree (with my Dad and and a bucket of sand next to it - if the tree should accidentally go up in flames!!). That was, till real trees (even tiny ones) got sooo expensive, at the end of the 80s. So that's when we invested in a, German bought, small fake one in 1989. Which served my elderly Parents till they both passed away in 2019. I still have some of their most cherished real glass tree ornaments from the 60s, that I display (I don't have a Christmas tree: because of storage room issues). Decorating Christmas trees is such a personal thing: when it comes to the style choice. ✌🏻☺️🇳🇱
