It’s so funny..I am almost 70 years old and I guess I have been cottage core my whole life. Lace, plate wall, glass jars for storing pantry supplies, candle sticks. Funny..everything comes back. Great video! 🩷
I don't find going to thrift stores to buy old junk to decorate with at all appealing.Of course, at 75 yr old I have a lot of my own old junk around.My MIL left me many linens when she passed - she must have really liked linens. I have many tablecloths from the 40's era - they are so cute. At one time , when I had a brand new house to decorate, I went to a used stuff sale at my church and , lo & behold, there were 2 sets of absolutely perfect condition full length, ruffled tie back criss cross curtains. No one was interested in them so I got them so cheap I felt I had to make a cash donation to make up for it. After washing, starching (needed help from Mom on that) and ironing I used those 2 sets on my front windows of my LR for 28 years til we sold the house & I never tired of them. I did tire of the washing, starching & ironing every year though, but did it anyway.
Love your ideas. I would love a video on incorporating cottagecore to home that is decorated in early American. I certainly can’t get rid of everything. But I’m really starting to embrace the cottage core look and wonder if you think that there’s a way to incorporate that with my early American decorating. 😊
I also got mine off amazon - these are the ones I got: bit.ly/4gySzLl They do allow you to adjust the brightness, which I like! Personally I do prefer more dim lights, so I'm not sure I'm the best judge on that front 😂 but hopefully those are helpful!
I was a young adult in easrly nitities. Shabby chic did not excist then. Perhaps it is a difference between us and europe there, but here in europe it did not excist befor mid 2000 at least. Funny how something can be reinvented. Cottagecore. Its just a mish mash of eveything, mostly nostaligic and it is adorable. :)
@@linnea9017 oh that’s so interesting! My mom was very into it when I was a kid in the early 90s. I remember going through her design magazine and helping her redo her bedroom in the style. It’s fascinating that it didn’t get popular in Europe until the 2000s! Thanks so much for sharing
I'm. Going to redo. My bedroom. New bed new curtains. I hope to. Thrift those. Curtains a. Spread. I need. Decor to go on. The walls. I only have. 2 windows. In there.
Sounds like a fun project! Thrifting can take some time, but is so fun and you can find the most unique things. Hope you find exactly what you're looking for! 💛
I'm laughing to myself how the powers that be in decorating keep the same old stuff but change the name so that the next generation thinks this is their style.I'm 75 years old and I've had the same "Early American" style in my home since I was 20. It was called "country" - "cottage core" & now I've heard "Grandma core".It's the best style - IMO - to have because you don't have to buy new stuff as it keeps coming back over & over.
Since you are in your 40s, surely this style is one you are familiar with? You couldn't possibly 'discovered' it, like the very young women who this genre is coming from? Just saying, waving your hands around and wearing cosplay doesn't feel authentic in a middle aged woman ...

This has been kind of my style ever since I was a young girl. It is beautiful in my opinion and I'm 66.
I'm with you! I don't think I'll ever get tired of the look. I also love thrift finds. Thank you for sharing your very inspiring video,and home.

Same! I’ve got a 230 year old cape I’d love to incorporate this in.
Cottage core IS Early American also "Country"

Where do you get your rechargeable light bulbs? I got some off Amazon and they are so dim!

I'm not in my 40s, and like I mentioned, I remembered Shabby Chic style from when I was a little kid in the 90s - I always loved it :)
Wow… this is what they mean when they talk about women tearing down other women, huh? It’s an ugly look… not like your adorable outfit and hair.
