Winter Decor on a Budget ~ Thrifted Christmas Decor ~ Thrifty Home Decor ~ DIY Winter Decor

[@mistymountainhop1971]

*THANK YOU!!!* for being one of the few channels that doesn't go out and purchase all new or even more decorations for each holiday. I saw one video, and the woman has 20 storage bins of decorations and bought more stuff. *LESS IS MORE*

[@bobbipetty7411]

Personal preference

[@mistymountainhop1971]

​@@bobbipetty7411​ yes it is personal preference, but this need to have more stuff especially when so many are struggling financially, do what you want with your money, but there are too many "content creators" pushing this need to have the latest and greatest items.

[@renee5713]

Do you know why you don't like Christmas decorations this year? because you're getting older and you've already done everything. Your life should become a little simpler as you get older, and you should have the energy to do the "other" things as well. it is a very natural process, and if I'm not mistaken, you have quite a busy life... so make it cozy, but with less stuff. "we" your followers will remain loyal to you....🩷

[@bethdixon501]

So much more inspiration that I am grateful for throughout the year not just Christmas 🙏🏻✝️🎄❤️🥳

[@joellenmeek658]

Pebbles with mini Christmas lights is the best decoration ever.

[@hannahcrumley3103]

Yes! Pebbles Christmas house is the best!🥰

[@lorimoore9862]

agreed...if I was a cat i'd love a house like that....

[@marygallagher7392]

Pepples needs a red collar for Christmas!

[@JolovesDecor]

That house was so cute for the cat.

[@DotCostilow]

So adorable and Pebbles obviously agrees.

[@ChadMartin-r1d]

The bench your son made is absolutely heirloom quality. Good job Mom and Dad for raising a thoughtful and skillful young man.

[@sharonmiller6298]

Of all the KZbin videos out there, yours is the one I look forward to the most. Your simple, yet elegant style always draws me in. Your home is beautiful and fills me with the Christmas spirit.

[@Hope-yl7rg]

I feel the same way. Her videos are always so relaxing and cozy. My favorite KZbin channel.

[@marilynyarbrough7951]

Your home really feels like Christmas, Mary. No fussiness, just tranquil beauty in its simplicity. Blessings to all for a joyful Christmas.

[@poodlegirl55]

I bought some mismatched, ugly light up houses at the thrift last year for $1 each and painted them all white. They look so cute, Mary would be proud!!

[@lorraineearle5967]

Mary, I would call your style this year, 'Simply Elegant.' ❤🇨🇦

[@KassidySavage-fk1wl]

The sheer simplicity is amazing. None of the busyness of so many decors. We all seem a bit fraught and jittery. Talk about a screeching halt! Absolutely love the mug centerpiece and the porch and the wet napkin idea and okay, all of it. Just so calming in our frenetic world, Thank you!

[@sheriebumgarner7065]

Well said!!

[@cindyclark9145]

This has been a balm for my soul! Joyful and peaceful and absolutely charming! Love, love, love everything about it! 🌲🌲🌲

[@cathyhuddle1769]

love all of these!!!

[@leticisgonzalez6297]

Me too

[@JenniferLee2009]

You are TRULY an INSPIRATION! In my opinion you are the MOST CREATIVE crafter on KZbin! What a precious, humble, disciplined lady of God! Thank you for sharing your faith and creative talents with us. Many blessings!

[@LaLadybug2011]

Awwww-the kitty cat shack! And I mean that in the MOST complimentary way ❤. It is so beautiful.

[@ilzes4312]

Love what you did for Pebbles!!! your home is beautiful.

[@GinaAdams-tw7lh]

Adore that your son made the bench😊 you will treasure it ❤

[@deeneedler327]

Oh Mary, pebbles has such a cute place to hangout. Bless her heart...I love cats!!!!!

[@SweetCarolineinCarolina]

Hi Mary! Love the clarinet music. I've been playing for 59 of my 67 years in marching band and Charleston Community Band later in life. I love your music choices. When I hear them on other peoples videos, I tell my husband "that is Mary music". Pebbles is adorable and she loves her new bed. I always enjoy watching Pebbles follow you around the yard and just hang out with you. She reminds me of my Arabian mare that neighs loudly and runs to the house any time she sees me come out the back door. Then she talks to me with gentle nickers. She is my Pebbles, named Caroline!

[@debsmith2269]

I love the natural, minimalist look of your Christmas tree ornaments and home decor. It makes your home look so cosy and welcoming, yet open, airy, and fresh, at the same time. Just perfect.

[@rosemaryharris6064]

The soft glow of your cozy home in the evening was my favorite scene!

[@xyngchic]

The fact that you can stain without protecting the floors and furniture is absolutely amazing.

[@debbieyoungstrom5378]

Sweet Pebbles! I always enjoy seeing your kindness to the cats.

[@GayleTerry-s7g]

Fresh, clean, simple, serene....enchanting. I feel so calm and content! It's lovely, Mary.

[@glorianelson9538]

I don't think you are the only one who feels like this year we want to do less decorating, I've heard a lot of people feeling that way, me included. Your house looks simple and cosy. The bench looks so good, your son is very talented!

[@janspeed2071]

I love the simplicity Mary.....just beautiful!

[@suzannemargolin1737]

Pebbles new home is the best Christmas decoration by far…..love it!

[@AnnYates-ux6ki]

You can set books on something and it looks amazing. No one comes close to your decorating. It looks amazing!!!

[@kelleymcfadden9675]

I never would have thought to paint ornaments or cover them with napkins! Everything just looks so nice. Such a clean look yet lovely. Love the bench that your son made. What a treasure. The cabins look sweet too. Love the red birds. And at the end of the video when you turn the lights out, the glow was so welcoming! I enjoyed just sitting here with my coffee add watching your video. I enjoy all your videos. Thank you so much for the calmness that you bring to this world that is heavy with chaos. God bless your family and Merry Christmas!

[@lisaboardwine5633]

Your home is right out of a fairy tale. ❤ So beautiful! I'm so glad I can enjoy it with you. May God richly bless you this Christmas with all your heart desires. ❤️

[@michelenickelson-mo9wq]

Love seeing Pebbles new cozy nest, so sweet. Your Christmas decorations are beautiful.

[@anneelisehudson8020]

I really, really, love the wallpaper in your DR. The more I see it in your videos, the more I like it. With your streamlined pale decor, it just adds the nicest touch of color and pattern.

[@kathrynriggs2489]

Pebbles looks like the queen of the castle on her fur lined bed! Adorable!

[@gwenvann7279]

Aww. I love that you made Pebbles a nice fluffy bed next to the window. That will bring so much joy to your holiday season.

[@janhaley1212]

Mary, thank you for sharing your home and decorating with us. So serene and beautiful. I wish I had decorated like this in my home. It’s too late as I’m 70. Things are so simple in your home. They all go so nicely together and make sense. I’m sharing this video with my sister whose home is similar. Each year I use less decorations. I like it this way. I received the dish cloths and look forward to giving them as gifts to my daughters. Thank you for being there and sharing your life with us. You are an inspiration. Peace be with you and your family during the holiday. Jan

[@annettemurielle]

So beautiful, Mary. And I love, love how much Pebbles is enjoying her little house. ❤❤❤

[@jewelsmith5365]

The simplistic look is so relaxing. Just beautiful.

[@josie4peace]

❄Love your practical decor. With all the people suffering in the world, my heart kept it very simple this year with the focus on His birth. Many are not able to decorate and my prayers are with them. 💕🙏💚

[@LynneLovett]

I always look forward to your decorating videos, Ms. Mary. You don't go out to the stores and purchase the trend and bring them home to decorate with. Simple but beautiful ❤🎄. May God bless and give you and your family a wonderful Christmas.

[@jeanmullins3284]

❤❤❤ love your decorations!!! The cottages are lovely, and the bench your son made is beautiful!!!❤❤❤

[@patriciakumar115]

Mary, your home, especially during the Christmas season, is simply gorgeous! I love the understated elegance with which you decorate. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

[@bonniewilson7623]

I like the color of the bench...good choice!

[@juliebreyer8570]

Mary, I love the simplicity and how beautiful it looks. I also love how you use what you have and don’t go out and buy new every year! Thank You for sharing!,

[@suecraig8630]

I love the simplicity, Mary. It doesn’t scream Christmas, but emphasizes warmth and coziness. Have a wonderful holiday season with your family. Always look forward to your videos.

[@jillbruce3624]

Lucky Pebbles. She is adorable in her little Christmas castle.

[@WatersandWilderness]

Mary, I love my kitty too. Pebbles appreciates your thoughtfulness. Your home looks beautifully decorated. The cottages are nicely done too.

[@ShelbyKenna-y7o]

Dear Mary, the beauty that you create each week is usually simple, and ALWAYS beautiful! You continue to inspire and motivate me to create in my own home. Someday I hope to enjoy a few days in one of the cottages.🙂

[@MarilynBurubeltz]

Mary your home is so beautiful, warm and cozy! I love all the white with the natural decorations, very simple but makes a big impact!!

[@marymcghee3023]

Thank you for fixing that bed for pebbles, so sweet, and thank you for showing it to us. The hanger with the picture is so clever. The Christmas balls look so pretty. Everything looks amazing!

[@DivineChannelMazie]

I swear I could watch your channel everyday ! I am always surprised and inspired by your creations. I could say, crafts..... but they are over and beyond crafting. YOU ARE A DIVINE CREATOR ! AN AMAZING ARTIST ! Thank you for bringing so much joy and inspiration to all of us ! God bless you and your loving family and Merry Christmas to all of you !

[@mdfalco4]

love what you did for Pebbles, absolutely adorable.

[@carolfuchs2774]

Simple is so elegant!! You have such a knack for decorating!!! Beautiful.

[@melkatte]

Hi Mary. ❤️ the simplicity of your Christmas decorations this year. It brings an elegance and sophistication to your home. Oh, and pebbles is so precious in the new bed.

[@gayemarianesfox2405]

Everything you touch turns to gold! It all looks so beautiful. I guess I missed the episode where you wallpapered in your kitchen and that is gorgeous!

[@jansmith8021]

I moved to a small apartment this summer from a 3 bedroom farmhouse and onky brought with me what Christmas decor I loved and know I would use and have room for, love the less is more look now!!

[@heidimeigs5192]

I’ve done the exact same thing. Downsizing wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be.

[@lyndamadrid-miller695]

Your son is very talented. I’ve been watching you for several years and you’re such an inspiration to me. 🌟💝🤗😊

[@debraroma4319]

Inspiring...love the simple touches that aren't too bold.

[@famhomejones2745]

Pebbles in a white house sleeping on a white fluffy blanket with Christmas lights... is the most Christmas-ee look ever. Fabulous...

[@angelahagood3639]

How wonderful to have a house look like a million bucks but not cost that much. That little kitty in that house frame is too cute! Purrrr-fect! I was hoping you would show the cottages! Thank you! Your son made a beautiful piece of furniture. My grandson made me some simple things in his middle school wood-shop and I love them. As always Mary, so homey and cozy!

[@pennyharris1543]

Your home is always beautiful. I love all the white and green. And those cardinal bowls are the perfect touch.

[@lavonX1]

Sweet little Pebbles you will have to fix a cute spot for Twinkle😼 Also love those ornaments covered in with a napkin... I will be using that idea!!!

[@michelesholar1756]

Your home is the true essence of Christmas

[@vivianstidham928]

That old saying , "Let's Is More," is so true. Everything looks so crisp and clean with a beautiful hint of 🎄 Christmas. Just beautifully done, Mary. Pebbles stole the show in her new place to lay. Just perfect! The cottages look so cozy and inviting, too! Merry 🎄 Christmas to you and your family! Xo from Vivian in Texas

[@karynverdecchia9095]

One of my presents this year was a thin tree. I’ve been wanting one for years and this year I’ve fashioned birds on wires “flying” around it. Truly magical!

[@rebeccafrancis8227]

I don’t think anyone can decorate any better than you Mary. So pretty!! Your son did a nice job on the bench!!

[@UpstateGrammy]

I love your use of natural elements and thrifted items. Simplicity has its own special beauty.

[@sylviawood6089]

Hi Mary, thank you for your inspiration. Your home is beautiful. I want to wish you a Blessed Christmas. Thank you from Texas ❤🎄

[@MinnieEvans-m6r]

What a bright, relaxing spot in my day. Pebbles is the queen of the castle in that bed by the window. As always, you have such beautiful, doable, ideas🩷🎄🩷

[@susanannette5758]

It’s never too late to decorate for Christmas, Mary. I add things all the way to the 25th. Thank you for doing all that you do, you inspire me.

[@irenegronewald7745]

ohhhhh thank you so much for kitty getting what it wanted for Christmas

[@darlenemc3586]

Thank you for loving and thoughtful videos. I love your charming ideas. God Bless 😘

[@AnnMeagher]

Love how cozy and peaceful everything is! I love the less is more decor and not like most channels where they are out shopping nonstop and loving everything.

[@tinagranados2018]

That was a brilliant way to cover your ornaments with the napkins I’ve never thought of doing it that way, but you’re correct, It would be a great way to reuse it later and be able to remove it. Your decorations are gorgeous as usual.

[@NanaElainesChannel]

What a God-given talent you have! So simple and cozy. I love watching you decorate.

[@marybethgardener111]

It's amazing how much better those silver ornaments look in white! Really brings out the designs :)

[@DonnaReed-b7r]

Oh my goodness ! What a sweet cozy bed for Pebbles ! I agree on creating your own decorations ! Meaningful yes !!! Your creativity is sharing ! Love the greenery in the mugs and the candles ! Darling ! Ornaments so clever and turned out so cute ! Love the re-do of the bench your son made … I prefer the darker stain All lovely ! God bless you Mary ! Such a joy to watch you and your bs ground music is so calming too ! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

Pebbles is just adorable ! Everything is beautiful as always ❤

[@divathriftz856]

Awww Pebbles!!! Best decoration ever!😻😻

[@Hope-yl7rg]

As usual, you didn't disappoint. I absolutely love your home and everything you do to it. I am trying so hard to become a minimalist but I'm so sentimental it's hard for me. Pebbles window area, just precious. My cat would love that. I love that you keep the clean, white theme with just pops of color throughout your home. You are my FAVORITE KZbinr. Also, I love the candle sampler I ordered. Thank you for all you do!

[@josie4peace]

💕🐈 Love the new kitty sanctuary. 💕🐈🙏

[@TheRusticHomestead]

I love simple winter decor in my home too. Like someone else said less is more. Love all the simple and quiet decor you added to your home this year. Looks beautiful ❤

[@fabricgirl2u]

Its all beautiful and feels very peaceful ❤

[@AmandaBaias]

Each piece you displayed is so beautiful. Your home feels cosy and inviting. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

[@dennissem.5030]

I love the simplicity and the use of nature.❤

[@starfish3704]

So beautiful ❤ and Pebbles‘ new crib is just adorable!

[@debrabell2604]

I always love the natural simplicity of your decorating style Mary always warm and cozy. God Bless you and your family this season. I love the bed you made for pebbles so sweet

[@Tanya-fh5eg]

Absolutely beautiful, the Lord gifted you with so much creativity. Thank you for sharing, we are warmly blessed.

[@schammond8993]

I'm a last minute decorator and these always help me out. Merry Christmas Gods Blessings to you and your family Mary.

[@josierose8987]

Everything looks beautiful and Peebles is so adorable. I love watching your budget friendly videos. You amaze me with your creativity. Your son did a fantastic job with the bench. The music as well as your voice is so soothing. Thanks and many Blessings your way. ❤😊

[@lorettaacton9374]

Loved the white painted bulbs with the distressed look and the cardinals are so pretty

[@debbebunch9973]

Just want to repeat... Love the kitchen wallpaper!! So pretty at every season...!

[@maryhalliday7739]

So beautiful, Mary, the simple styling for Christmas with pops of color here and there. I love how simple it is but makes a big statement. I loved the idea of putting napkins over the ornament. Great idea. And then there's Pebbles? That is the cutest , sweetest idea. Her own house and soft place to sleep. So sweet. Great video. Great ideas. TFS ❤😊

[@bridfeeney7428]

I want to be that cat and live in your house .❤🐈‍⬛

[@PamelaDraper-j8y]

So, so beautiful Mary !! Love Pebbles in the box ..... she deserves Christmas also ! Simple, elegant and lovely. Pray your holidays are wonderful. 🎄🥰

[@chereeburtner4659]

Beautiful green and white decor. Love that. The napkin ornaments are so lovely. I would never to think of just using water! Thanks for the tour.❤

[@kathyf7862]

Happy birthday, Mary! It's so close to Christmas but I'm sure your family will help make your day very special💞🎉 You are a blessing to so many of us.

[@bonniejackson7476]

I love that you turn your kitchen counter into an area for crafts. Love your thrifted items. 😊

[@dianalonghenry4933]

I like the trees where you can hang things 'inside' the branches. Something that I've come to love from my husband's family. ❤🎄

[@dianamilligan1074]

Thank you, Mary. Your video was an inspiration. In South Texas, getting in the Christmas spirit and decorating when it's 80-90 degrees out is hard. We FINALLY got our first "cold front," which dropped our temperature into the 60s. I'm getting my decorating done this week. Your video was perfect timing! I always enjoy seeing your creativity at work. It's an absolute God-given gift.

[@dennyholmquist722]

So serene, Mary, and certainly inspiring. Thank you for your seasonal ideas. The cottages are lovely with that touch of Christmas/winter season.

[@suzannedickie4603]

Lovely and delightful. So wonderful to see a video that uses more of what you may have at home or can pick up cheaply at a thrift store. Thank you.

[@jeffvenables4845]

Mary, I’m like you-I love to go outdoors and clip branches and evergreens to use in my decorating for Christmas. I also love to add red berries (faux). Your Christmas decorating is simply perfect, and perfectly simple. I love it all! Many holiday blessings to you and your family. ~Cathy

[@Nancy-ii5yo]

Everything is beautiful! I love the white and green theme. Merry Christmas!

[@youdontspeakforme4339]

Your home is beautiful for every season 😊. I still love seeing your new kitchen island 🥰

[@julieschossow6337]

So pretty and clean. I just realized I have the same wallpaper in what my grandkids call the princess bathroom!
