It looks like snow fell in your living room with everything so white, it's like a canvas and you add the pop of color where ever you want, the pop of green looks nice, red berries would be lovely or a red cardinal all in all it looks lovely
I love what you did! Your home is beautiful! Most importantly, I love that you DIDN'T rush out to buy cheap, trendy decor made outside the USA (like so many people think is necessary) but used your own talents and gifts to decorate your home. Your family will love the coziness this Christmas. Absolutely lovely!💕
This is about what I was going to say. I love what you do and love that you do it without going out and buying a bunch of stuff. It is simply beautiful
Yes! If I see one more youtuber showing their "haul" I don't know what I'll do! I appreciate individual style and creativity. Mary has got that in spades!
@@sunflowerbrown5823 I agree! It appears that some people equate buying cheap, natural-looking decor with holiday happiness........but that's just not true at all! Hey, what happened to real trees, real wreaths and the real scent of pine boughs throughout a home? Why did all of that get pushed aside for natural-LOOKING plastic stuff made in China? I'm not buying it!! Nope!
Some of the out of the country made items are sold in some privately owned shops and stores and are their bread and butter. I'm one of them. Please don't judge.
Would love to come and sit a spell with Mary and Twinkles in her beautiful living room and talk about the goodness of the Lord and all the beauty around us.
Boy isn't that the truth. I used to take down all my pictures and put up a whole bunch of Christmas decorations and then have to take it all down and put it away. That's 65 I am enjoying the calm cozy General winter decorations
Mary I love how honest you are about the true side of life. Our homes are well loved and can’t always have the newest furnishings. You always make it look so beautiful and festive! Thanks for the inspiration.
I feel the same way about our sofa and love seat. New ones will come in time. With rising costs we want to make sure we choose wisely. I love that Mary is so authentic!
Reminds me of a Scandinavian Christmas esthetic, minimal, and natural. That look seems to carry over the winter months a bit better that more traditional Christmas decor. This year I am going in this direction as well.
Your home looks beautiful and cozy for the holidays. I love how you can imagine, create and make something work. The snowflake ornaments, candlesticks, pillows and sign are AWESOME! Merry Christmas!
I love how your living room turned out! It's simple but still looks warm and cozy. I also love how you thought of Twinkle and made sure he had a nice spot to enjoy laying by the window.
Recently discovered your channel and love it. You have a beautiful home Mary and thank you for your inspiration and the many decorating on a budget ideas. Great commentary, music, you are the real deal.
Just SO beautiful and cozy that I just want to sit there with a cup of tea and spend the afternoon chatting with you!! LOL!!! I think Twinkle's expression said it best!!! Ahhhhh!!! ❤️
I've watched a lot of Christmas decorating videos but for some reason this year your video has impacted me the most. Maybe it's the natural and simplistic style you used that engenders the simplicity of Christ in me that touched my heart. Thank you, D.
Your living room is so serene! The true peace that comes from the Father seems to have found a place to dwell at your home! Blessings to You and Yours this Christmas!
I usually never leave a comment,( because I watch a lot of videos on decorating) but I have to comment on your wonderful decor aesthetic, it is so beautiful yet simple and I just love it!
Love, love, LOVE all you did! It looks so beautiful and cozy. Love the furry-trimmed pillow, the garland and the sign! I love that you are so kind to your kitties, I always love seeing them in the videos and that you don’t ignore them. I’m glad Twinkle likes his now hidden window spot and that we got to see him enjoying it at the end. I look forward to your videos every week! Blessings and joy to you and your family! 💚🎄
Your living room is simply beautiful! I am always amazed at your creativity and energy, Mary! You are truly a blessing to watch each week! Merry Christmas! 🎄
Mary you should sell diy kits for your items,bird boxes,candle sticks and alike,literally put the bits in a box and sell them unfinished for the buyers to affix themselves so they still get to make up the items but don't have the hassle of hunting & cutting all the wood. You could also sell diy candle & soap kits.., Sewing packs with all the bits in and the buyer again just stiches it together, so many things you could do in the diy box form & i think it would be great. 😁 your home looks wonderful and festive. Why don't you just re pack the arms on the sofa and change out the foam in the actual cushions,it would be very easy to do and a more budget friendly option.
As always, you captured the coziness of the season with your decor. Beautiful editing with the music. Hark the Herald Angels Sing is my absolute favorite Christmas carol. The lyrics tell the whole story of redemption.
What a simple, clean, beautiful look. It’s an inspiration, well thought out. If you can get the cat to accept the changes, you have really accomplished something!
I absolutely love the pillow with the furry edging. How I wish you could do a video on making one. Love the video love your work. Long time follower of yours.
I love the calmness and simplicity of your decorating 💕. I'm just about to decorate my home and you give me pause about using all the "stuff" to clutter up my space. I love all of your natural elements! Thanks Mary for always sharing your beautiful ideas!😍
Very cozy and beautiful. I too have suffered from saggy sofa cushion syndrome! My solution is to measure how much quilt batting it will take and then cut it to cushion size. Unzip and carefully tuck the new layer in. It magically looks new again!
That's funny that twinkle sleeps on the towel. I trained my cats when they were small to sleep on towels and they knew that wherever I put a towel that was their spot
Hi Mary. Painting the background of your sign green was definitely the right decision. It adds so much color to the room! Your living room is cozy and beautiful. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Gosh Mary you have outdone yourself!!! I love the simplicity of your living room. It is so calm, cozy and warm. Your creativity is wonderful!!! The green on the sign is the perfect Christmas green. How clever to use the backside of your sign!! The snowflake ornaments are adorable!! Everything you create and hand make is amazing. You show us that simple can be beautiful!! I love the fabric on the pillows!! Thank you for taking us along on your decorating, creating, styling ways!!
I love it!!! So cozy, welcoming, and pretty. I can't believe that all this talent and creativity is wrapped up in one small young lady. Have a great day.
Intro “To those who are new here, I’m Mary. “ Actually newbies she should introduce herself as Mighty Mary! 😅 Looks lovely Mighty Mary. Merry Christmas ❤
Oh Mary you always do such beautiful arrangements. Your decorations are absolutely gorgeous looks like something out of a Country Magazine. Love everything you do. Wish I were so talented like you. God's blessings to you and your family wishing y'all a very Merry Blessed Christmas 🎄 Jesus is the Reason for the Season ❤️❤️❤️
🤗 Twinkle seems satisfied with his spot! Such a great choice of green Mary for the picture frame piece, it matches several other greens in the room. I love the candlesticks and wood ornaments!🎄
I love 💕 it when you take out your sewing machine and whip up a few items , I’m not skilled in that department. My Christmas them for years has been in traditional colors red ,gold and green , maybe one of these years I go natural because I love 💕 your style very much
Mary, no matter what you do it comes out perfectly! Maybe on the arms of your couch that are worn you could make some arm covers and velcro them to the couch. Just a suggestion. Everything looks amazing to me! Have y'all been renting out the Ab&b?They are so beautiful.❄️🌲☃️
So peaceful Mary ~ I love the pillow with the fur edging. How pretty the tree collar looks with your decor. I have used a softer green paint for Christmas , then used the deep green vinyl for my wording. But I had the deep green on hand. Love the shade of green paint you got. I think it is the perfect Christmas Green…if there is such a thing. I guess in the eyes of the beholder right? I love candleholders made out of spindles! The mantle looks wonderful. Love the layering of empty frames too. Perfectly done in my humble opinion 🌲
My home up in snowy Alberta is very minimally decorated as well with emphasis on cosy, natural and textures. It’s so peaceful and leaves space for the calm of winter. Love your touches this year a lot.
less is DEFINITELY more....coincidentally I also dried orange and because I find that tree with those orange slices SO cozy, I decided to copy you...thank you for letting me be in your house again this week . greetings from Holland
You are so talented my dear! You always talk about your things being several years old, but you always get them to look amazing! I love your thriftiness, and your ability to make your things look new again. You always amaze me. Just so charming! Thank you for sharing!
Mary, everything is so beautiful--this is my favorite furniture placement in your living room. My favorite thing about your channel is you don't use cheap, Made in China junk in every single thing you do like so many other channels. All of that junk breaks and ends up in our landfills. I cannot understand why people (mostly women!) do that. Sorry for the rant, I'm just sad that people don't appreciate this beautiful planet that God gave us. Merry Christmas to everyone here and to you and your family Mary.
I think it's cute how we love our fur babies so much we insure their likes, comfort and safety first. Lol. The little snowflake ornaments you made are so cute. It's amazing how versatile your talents are in creating things on your own. In awe! Lol. Everything looks so pretty!!
I have to tell you, that pillow with the fleece edge is something. I love it. I found it in your Etsy shop and am so pleased. Can’t wait to receive it. Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Hey Mary! The living room decorations are great. The fact that you mostly had everything you needed already, and improvised decor by changing the color was awesome! Tfs. Much 💚, Dorothy
I am going a little sparser with my decor this year too. I love Fall and really decorate. It’s up from 9/1-Thanksgiving every year. It’s all packed now and time for Christmas. Some of my decor is Winter themed and I leave it up from 12/1-2/28. Fall and Winter are my favorite half of the year.

"All is calm, all is bright"...that runs in my mind viewing your less is more theme! Thank you, Mary!
I always marvel at how you create simplicity into stunning. Thank you Mary.
The older I've gotten, the more I love the simple cozy winter decor that stays up until spring.
Boy isn't that the truth. I used to take down all my pictures and put up a whole bunch of Christmas decorations and then have to take it all down and put it away. That's 65 I am enjoying the calm cozy General winter decorations
ME TOO 🌲❄️⛄️🌬💙
Me too.
Me too! I agree!
Glad I’m not the only one!! I just like the simple things the most !!
Mary I love how honest you are about the true side of life. Our homes are well loved and can’t always have the newest furnishings. You always make it look so beautiful and festive! Thanks for the inspiration.
I feel the same way about our sofa and love seat. New ones will come in time. With rising costs we want to make sure we choose wisely. I love that Mary is so authentic!
I love that we can still see your tree, not so many decorations! It’s gorgeous!
So lovely, seems so serene and peaceful! Blessed holiday filled with the joy of celebrating our Lord’s birth!
Your style is so pretty and pleasing to the eye. So glad you share your home with us.
Reminds me of a Scandinavian Christmas esthetic, minimal, and natural. That look seems to carry over the winter months a bit better that more traditional Christmas decor. This year I am going in this direction as well.
Love your decor. It's simple but so beautiful and peaceful.
Your home looks beautiful and cozy for the holidays. I love how you can imagine, create and make something work. The snowflake ornaments, candlesticks, pillows and sign are AWESOME! Merry Christmas!
Oh Mary, I think you could do absolutely anything in this world that you set your mind on. You really are an amazing woman.
Such a beautiful comment! ❤️❄️❤️
I love how your living room turned out! It's simple but still looks warm and cozy. I also love how you thought of Twinkle and made sure he had a nice spot to enjoy laying by the window.
I love the drop cloth pillow with the fuzzy fleece trim.
Twinkles cute little head sticking up from behind the love seat on his new little perch. How precious he is.
Recently discovered your channel and love it. You have a beautiful home Mary and thank you for your inspiration and the many decorating on a budget ideas. Great commentary, music, you are the real deal.
I love that you can go to your workshop and either find or make the decor you want for whatever season. Very inspiring!
Thanks for the serenity!
Would love to see how you decorate the cottages for the holiday season guests.
Just SO beautiful and cozy that I just want to sit there with a cup of tea and spend the afternoon chatting with you!! LOL!!! I think Twinkle's expression said it best!!! Ahhhhh!!! ❤️
I've watched a lot of Christmas decorating videos but for some reason this year your video has impacted me the most. Maybe it's the natural and simplistic style you used that engenders the simplicity of Christ in me that touched my heart. Thank you, D.
Your little snowflake wood rounds would make a pretty garland all strung together also! Love your Christmas decor!
Your living room is so serene! The true peace that comes from the Father seems to have found a place to dwell at your home! Blessings to You and Yours this Christmas!
Absolute perfection for your home Mary. Your boys are so lucky to have you. You are blessed to have them !!!
The green adds warmth to the room and I love the idea of the double-sided sign. The fuzzy fringed pillows are so cozy looking!
Making a spot for Twinkle is so sweet! What a lovely calm space!
I usually never leave a comment,( because I watch a lot of videos on decorating) but I have to comment on your wonderful decor aesthetic, it is so beautiful yet simple and I just love it!
It all pulled together beautifully, Mary. I love tree collars. I keep saying i'm going to get one, but procrastinate. I'll have to check Kohl's!
So crisp and clean along with festive....love it! Thank you for sharing, cheers, Ellen
Really love this years semi minimalist look, actually stunning in its simple styling.
Simple, peaceful and very beautiful 😍 ❤
...and awesome Christmas carol....Merry Christmas everyone!
How ingenious! What a storage space saver. To decorate the other side of the picture with the Christmas decor! What a wonderful idea
Love, love, LOVE all you did! It looks so beautiful and cozy. Love the furry-trimmed pillow, the garland and the sign!
I love that you are so kind to your kitties, I always love seeing them in the videos and that you don’t ignore them. I’m glad Twinkle likes his now hidden window spot and that we got to see him enjoying it at the end. I look forward to your videos every week! Blessings and joy to you and your family! 💚🎄
I love how everything turned out 💕 that fabric from Hobby Lobby is beautiful!
🌲Your living room looks fabulous Mary, creative & unique.
Beautifully done Mary I love that you made room for twinkles . Our fur babies are so spoiled. Your home looks amazing for the holidays. 🎄🎄🤗🎄🎄💓💞💕
Your living room is simply beautiful! I am always amazed at your creativity and energy, Mary! You are truly a blessing to watch each week! Merry Christmas! 🎄
Perfect green for your tray and blanket. Love the candle holders.
Wow...Love it!! Simple and yet absolutely beautiful!! Sometimes less is so much more!! Season's Greetings Mary! ✨️🎄✨️🎄✨️
Mary, God has really gifted you with a creative mind. Everything looks lovely. Thank you for sharing!

I love the " less is more" idea!
It is more cozy feeling that way.
Your tree is beautiful-so exactly right! I love the fuzzy pillow and it looks like it is all “Twinkle approved.”
Loving the green!! It's so calming! Beautiful!
Everything is beautiful. This proves that less is more. Love it.
Looks like a picture from a magazine, it is beautiful.

Mary did it again ! I hope you know how much your loved and appreciated. Beautiful home beautiful soul❤.
Absolutely stunning result Mary... and Twinkle is happy too!

It’s on the Etsy shop, I just found it.
@@sheilastromberger2275 thanks Sheila. I took a second look and quickly purchased one. Merry Christmas.
Another option would be place tree in front of window, would look lovely from outside with lights on as well.
The living room looks beautiful Mary, love everything you did.
Love your style of decorating. Your living room looks so cozy and inviting. Makes me want to grab a paint brush and paint everything white.
Mary, God blessed you with an amazing pair of hands. You are so talented. It’s beautiful.
Looks great! Your home environment seems so peaceful.
Mary, your simplistic designs are beautiful. Understated and non cluttered. It relaxes the mind. So pretty for the wonderful season.
I love it! It’s “ just enough “. Staying with the natural color scheme is perfect. Thanks as always for sharing your beautiful home with us.
Absolutely beautiful Mary. Love the touches of green. And…Twinkle approved 😁.
Oh, Mary! Your room is so beautiful! I absolutely love it! Just gorgeous!

I love what you did with the living room Mary. So simple, yet so elegant and cozy. You created a cozy spot for Twinkles too!
Oh Holy Night is my favorite Christmas song. ❄️ Everything looks so pretty.
So naturally beautiful. Twinkle is a happy guy. Your new ornaments are pretty and the wooden rounds a good idea to add to your shop.
Your decorating turned out so beautiful. I often feel little less is much more pretty. Thank you for sharing.
I love this natural look. I have an old wooden crate that I use as a base for my Christmas tree. It really helps my tree look fuller.
Simple but beautiful...to me less is best
