VINTAGE COZY COTTAGE WINTER DECOR || REFRESH YOUR SPACE WITH ME || BUDGET FRIENDLY DECOR

[@kentkarlaschmidt151]

Definitely like the brass tray better ! I too leave my winter greens, pine cones and snowmen out until spring! Also my little tree is undecorated but white lights are still on! Comforting during cold winter months! I’m new to your channel and appreciate so much you being bold in sharing the gospel! Bless you! 🥰

[@YVYOU]

Friend we are so thankful to have you here, we appreciate you watching. Thank you for sharing how you decorate your home for winter, it certainly sounds cozy! god bless you!

[@debbiepochy6751]

Good morning Michele! The perfect finishing touch, is when you added the pinecones at the end! I love my Christmas decor so much, that I don't take it down until early February! We don't usually get much snow up here in CT until about January, so I love being able to turn on the lights to all my trees on those cozy nights. I am retired now and home to enjoy it. I hope you have a lovely weekend! ❤

[@YVYOU]

Debbie, we are suppose to get snow this week! I have thought about how cozy it must be to have the warmth of the lights with the snow outside. I would leave mine up if I didn't have new content that I needed to get out. I know once it's down it will be alright but it sure makes me sad to have to take it down. Thank you for watching sweet friend. God bless you!

[@patdrenowatz8773]

Your little antique store has fantastic prices!! Candlesticks look much better on your brass tray👍👍

[@YVYOU]

It is a fun place to shop. I think they look better on the tray too! Thank you for watching and God bless you!!!

[@johnmoumtsas466]

It really looks beautiful Tomorrow Manday i will put my Christmas away here we leave it until the blessing of the watters god bless yous all

[@YVYOU]

Its hard for me to take it all down but once it's gone I really enjoy the fresh clean look. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. God bless you sweet friend!

[@TheCuratedHome]

I love the brass tray and it anchors the candle sticks perfectly! I’m glad I’m not the only one moving a bit slow with taking everything down! It’s been such a process! 🥰🙏🏻🫶🏻♥️

[@YVYOU]

Ugghh, isn't it a process! I have the Christmas music blaring and I'm working on taking it all down today. Trying to keep my spirit up because it makes me so sad! We'll stick together on this thing. Love and blessings to you sweet friend!

[@selenastaley6494]

Love the tray with the candles. Pine cones added a warmth to the room

[@YVYOU]

Thank you, I think the pinecones added in the right touch. Thank you so much for watching and God bless you!

[@auntiepennylane1958]

Love how you add the finishing touches to your decor that ties it all together like the pinecones ❤

Thank you sweet friend. I just love bringing the outside and I just think it adds a special touch. Thank you so much for watching and God bless you.

[@janicekeisler9225]

Thank you for sharing your ideas with us. The second look is definitely the best. Really like how you styled the arrangement in green container. Sharing the love of God and His word is something we all need to live and proclaim.

[@YVYOU]

Thank you Janice, I agree, I think the second look is much better without the white mirror and with the brass tray. I was so lucky to find it! Thank you for watching sweet friend!

[@jeane561]

Michele it really looks beautiful. I love the little brass tray with the candle sticks. I still have a lot of Christmas still up too. I’ve been working on it but it takes forever. Love and blessings to y’all❤️❤️❤️

[@YVYOU]

Sweet Jean, I always think about you when I take my decor down and wonder how you do it. I get so overwhelmed when I have a lot to put away. You always inspire me! Love and blessing to you sweet friend. I'm behind on watching your videos but I hope to catch up while I'm working today! Love you much!

I love the second vignette!! But it all looks great!!

[@YVYOU]

I was hoping to pull in some brass-gold accents and the tray really helped with that. Thank you for watching and God bless you!

[@judyp.6753]

I feel the same way taking down Christmas! It’s bittersweet and my house looks so boring. The brass tray is perfect and the pine cones and evergreens just feel peaceful. Thanks for another wonderful video 😊🕊️

[@YVYOU]

Thank you Judy, I'm finally getting all the Christmas totes out so now I'm feeling happy and loving the simple look. The brass tray was such a fun find! Thank you so much for watching sweet friend!

Good morning my beautiful friend. I love the second look best. I loved the way it turned out. I have one more tree to take down. I have had to take it slow. Thank you for the prayers. God bless my dear friends. Love,hugs and prayers.

[@YVYOU]

Love and BIG hugs for you dear friend. We are here praying and thinking of you. I pray many blessings over you always! Love you!

[@jeanieturner5183]

@@YVYOU thank you. I feel so blessed to have you in my life.

[@dianewilliams9729]

Second look better. I understood adding the white tray with mirror because you have white throughout the room but I think you accomplished that with the candles. The wooden carrier with the pine cones has enough presence without being elevated and the little pretty $3 tray really did add class to your candle arrangement. Looks great, as usual. Happy to see your channel growing!

[@YVYOU]

I know you get my thought process, I was trying to tie the white in with what was goin on behind the couch. I certainly was thrilled to get that tray for $3. it was the perfect touch. Love having you as my friend Diane! God bless you!

[@debsarley5612]

Hi Michele! I love the display on your trunk and that tray! I decorate each Christmas with a lot of greenery, so I also keep some of my greens out through winter too.

[@YVYOU]

Evergreen is my favorite and I also burn all those evergreen winter scents as long as I can because I love them all so much. I'm glad we both get to enjoy them a bit longer. God bless you sweet friend!

[@lindacasey4259]

Love your thrifted items. I like the second look best. I’m slowly taking down Christmas one room at a time. Yes, it is kind of sad. But I’m looking forward to this new year and believing God for improved health. Your videos are like a visit with a friend. Blessings and have a wonderful weekend.

[@YVYOU]

Sweet Linda I always feel like I'm talking to a dear friend as well. I pray that you will continue to feel good and that this year will be a year full of many blessing for you. I'm playing all the Christmas music while I'm taking my Christmas down. Love and blessing to you my precious friend!

[@goodehome]

That brass tray is stunning! I love the way you stacked a book behind the table in the corner for added decor space, that's smart!

[@YVYOU]

Thank you so much precious friend!!! I was really wanting a gold or brass compote to put my greenery in, but I couldn't find anything to use or makeover. I think the brass tray really helped the look. You're such a beautiful person with a heart of gold. Thank you for always blessing us like you do!!! May God bless your richly in all that you do this new year!

Michele, I love the second look. The tray looks great on the trunk. The evergreens and pinecones are perfect for the winter season. You do such a great job decorating! I too feel like my home is bear after Christmas so I decorate with snowmen. I leave them out and add Valentine and St. Patrick's decor with them.

[@YVYOU]

Donna that sounds like a perfect look! As sad as I am about taking down Christmas I'm excited for a more simple look. I'm gonna have to do what you do with snowmen, but I don't have as many as I used to. Thank you for watching and God bless you!

[@cvonsutphen]

*A Gentle Critique* . The tray with candle sticks and carrier with greens looks great! IMO, there are too many pillows on the sofa. Visually, there is only one space to sit. Pair back the pillows to the green and small lumbars. The Vignette behind the sofa feels overly busy and disjointed. Since this is a corner, I would center the lamp. The corbels could be used to flank the lamp, I'd add in some greenery to fill in the gaps and add texture.

[@YVYOU]

Always appreciate advice and love hearing what others see with their eye. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. I like the idea of the corbels anchoring the lamp. Thank you and God bless you!

Love how the arrangement looks in your new green box. That was a great find! Look at that tray, I can’t believe it was $3!!! I like the tray with the candles better. Love the pillows on your couch.

Dawn, I have it linked in my description for you on the large wood carved riser. It's such a beautiful piece, I know you will love it as much as I do. Yes, the tray was a score and I was excited to find it. I was wanting some brass-gold pieces and couldn't find what I wanted but the tray certainly helped pull in the look I was going for.
