I just love that your husband helps you so much around the house! Y'all are such a cute couple and it makes my heart smile to see y'all working together!
Morning Elizabeth,your home is so beautiful,your job should be a designer for homes !you would be fabulous,sending blessings to all your family lv Ann uk. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️
I used to go into a real funk after taking Christmas down, so I totally understand! Once I started replacing it with “ winter” decor, that made all the difference. Your choices are lovely Elizabeth! Zone3 Manitoba 🇨🇦👏❄️
Your home is lovely with or without decorations. Having said that, I completely understand the melon collie feeling of taking down Christmas. I always look forward to your videos. So inspired by you! 💕
Hello Elizabeth💙 I 💙 the blue for the months of winter. I don’t have much blue decor, but I 💙 how you use it in your home. So pretty with the dark wood tones. Being a wife and mother, you are amazing in what you do and how you accomplish so much. Thank you for being a Proverbs 31 example of a godly woman. You are truly an inspiration and encouragement to me. Much 💙
Several Years Ago, I Switched To Only Using Acid-Free Tissue Paper In Protecting My Items. Especially Those Fragile Items That Are Stored Together But Are Of Different Compositions, And Those Precious Vintage/Antique Pieces Too. It's A Game Changer For Me.
Oh I hear you ! Taking down Christmas is a daunting task ! Love your organization! Your plaid pillow covers for window … love ! I love how you decorate with symmetry! I have to as well , or it makes my brain hurt 😜 The white wool rug is lovely and you can always add color as you do ! Lovely job as usual !!! God bless you as you enjoy your winter in your beautiful haven !
Very daunting! I usually just like to rip the bandaid off and tackle it all at once even though that’s more work 😅 I have a pillow cover addiction lol it’s the easiest way to change up decor inexpensively.
Just beautiful! I love the blue and the plaid covers. Once people learn what is in pillows (dust mite stuff) they no longer are appealing at thrift stores. Waving from Ann Arbor!
Hi Elizabeth! I recently discovered your channel while recovering from knee replacement surgery and girl, we are kindred spirits! Because of my knee, I didn’t get to do my usual ‘over the top’ Christmas decorating. I’ve been enjoying watching your videos and getting my fix! Thank you so much for taking us along! I love that you include scripture at the end of your videos!
Hi Elizabeth! Even tho everyone is pretty much ready to get their Christmas decor down the week or so after Christmas, I think we still feel a bit sad, feel that everything seems empty. I thinks it has a lot to do with the fact that Christmas is such a joyous & festive, happy holiday & when the decor goes away, that signals the end til next year. Of course after all the lights & beautiful pieces we looked at for weeks sometimes a couple months, goes away it definitely looks empty.. And not as colorful. But personally I love my everyday decor & enjoy looking at it, adding to it, changing it around & tweaking it.. pretty much playing with it. And that brings me joy! So I guess if we all looked at it that way maybe it well help with the sadness or blues of Christmas going away.🤷♀️ Lol just my 2 cents worth😄 Christmas Is the only time i decorate ask around the house, move things and/or out things away for. Otherwise I do sprinkle in to my everyday decor for spring/easter and fall/thanksgiving. Your home is always beautiful however you decide to decorate! You just have A real gift or talent! And today did not disappoint.. the room looks gorgeous!💙 Thanks for sharing & pray you have a blessed weekend!🙏🏻😊
Elizabeth, your home is so beautiful!! I decorate for Winter after Christmas decor comes down! I love how you used the blue and white in your home!! Blue is my favorite color in decorating!! You are a lovely example of a Godly, Christian lady!! Thank you for sharing your decorating talent through your UA-cam Channel!! 💙⛄️❄️💙
Always very pretty!! My first thought is oh, how sweet!- your husband helps! Mine offers but I know it’s begrudgingly and he still too this day complains that I have way too much! Well, I do but I’m very organized as you are because you sort of have to be once you accumulate so much. I know that overwhelming feeling of totes everywhere and you think to yourself- “What have I done!?” 😂😂😂But as always you figure it out but, agreed, it is tiring. Well on to the new year. Always look forward to your videos as you transition from seasons and holidays. Always on trend and esthetically inspiring!❤
Hello Elizabeth, I love the ribbon on your mantle this year. Would you care to tell me where you bought it? Thank you very much. Love your home. And congratulations on being put in the magazine.
Started this morning taking down the mantel and hutch. I’ve been here 5 hrs 😮. I will finish on Saturday it’s a slow process but enjoying it and just looking forward in decorating for November 😂
I'm jealous of your attic (whole house actually!). The bones of your house are beautiful. So many beautiful homes in Michigan. I was born and lived there (Ferndale and Fowlerville) for 24 years. We moved south to escape the cold. Have fun decorating!
We’re so thankful for the attic space, but it is the ONLY storage we have unfortunately. No garage and a pretty gross basement. They didn’t make many storage spaces in these old homes 😅 I think you made a good choice going south 🥶
I am planning to take Christmas down this weekend. I love how organized you are, packing it all up is so trying. I love your after holiday decor. Can’t wait to see more!❤
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it Nancy! 😊 I hope you’ll stick around for more videos like this one and you can watch more here: ua-cam.com/play/PL-k3QVh7ueCpwcIwizgHny3wDTFhk_oc8.html
I don’t know about you, but I always get a little sad when I put the Christmas decorations down! The upside is I’m raring to go and looking forward to getting back to normal ( eating healthier and starting my redecorating in my living room and bathroom). My husband and myself are still debating on two different shades of red to paint our living room walls. I want to have an accent wall or two, and the other two walls a cream colour. Have bought ( thrifted ) three cushion covers, and like I said earlier, still debating which shade will match the cushion covers and sofa and love seat better. I loved the cushion covers you went with for your sofa, worked out nicely!
Hi Donna, I totally agree with you on all of this! I love the fresh start after Christmas. It’s what gets me through the sadness of taking down all that cozy Christmas decor.
Your home is gorgeous, but I never understood covering the couch with so many pillows that you can't sit down without moving several of them. Do you not use your couches? Just wondering. 😊
Yes lol, they are very well used. The feather inserts make them very squishy, so they really collapse in when pressed. I typically only use 3 pillows per couch.
I have ordered every pillow you suggested in this video and am anxious to receive them. I asked you the question about the stools in front of the fireplace. Now I would like to know what kind of trim you used to put on the stools? Could you send me a link to that particular video? Thank you.
Oh that’s awesome! I’m so happy you like the same things I dot ☺️ here’s the video with the stools: ua-cam.com/video/IF6GmTsVQRY/v-deo.htmlsi=yP9I7UDNuuSG3rzF
It is sad indeed Elizabeth, I shed a few tears today as I started "taking down" Christmas. The next time I see my kids for a family meal at our house won't be until April 20th. I hope! Everyone is just so busy. 😑 Your home is gorgeous! Period!
I know exactly how you feel, Deb! I was particularly sad this year. It just goes by too fast 🥺 I hate how busy we all are these days… how we do slow things down?
@@oldmaplehome Unfortunately there is no easy answer. My daughter and son-in-law work full-time(they only get Sundays together as a family) and still struggle to make ends meet. They even find it stressful to take sick days or vacation time. 🤷🏻♀
Have you ever considered green and white for winter? Or white and creams? Blue and white, to me, just registers summer; with the boat on the mantelpiece it’s definitely a summer feel. And you’ve been doing just blue and white continually for over a year. 😑
I just did greens not that long ago for summer. I will always incorporate either blue or green into my non seasonal decor somewhere. My house has too many warm tones, it needs the contrast of the cooler colors to cool it down. I do not like all warm colors, it’s too much for me. Check out my Instagram @ OLDMAPLEHOME and you will see how much variety there actually has been in my decor over the years.

Thank you so much! 🤗😊
I noticed that groupings of blue and white porcelain on a mantle looks great even with your hurricane
That would look beautiful! I’m hoping to start collecting some ginger jars 💙
I was sad taking down my Christmas decor too so I decided to do a Valentines tree and I am loving it. ❤
That sounds so fun! I love the idea of a Valentine's tree!
Elizabeth, great choice, as always on your pillow choices and carpet! Still has that wintery look, warm and cozy😊❤
Thank you! I love the way pillow covers can easily change the feel of a room. 💙
A more coastal look for sure
Yes! We live in Michigan and our house was built by a navy sea captain 💙
Just want to say that your Christmas decorating was one of the best that i saw this season! Your hard work really shines through. (Gal. 6:9)
Thank you so much Suzanne!! 🤗❤️
Elizabeth, I have been sick and not taken anything down yet, I feel overwhelmed just looking at it. I love all the blues in your home!
It’s a tough job, but I’m sure you’ll get it done and you will feel so accomplished after! I know I love seeing all the blue! 💙

Sorry, did you mean melancholy?
Here I was trying to figure out what a melon collie was! 🤦🏻♀ Haha...I get it now, melancholy. 🙂

@@sharidruckenmiller9372 Your kind and encouraging words have meant so much for me to read today, thank you!
Looks fabulous! Love the mixture of blues!💙🩵🤍
I’m so glad you like it! 💙💙💙
I love your blue room. It’s also my favorite color. The plaid pillow covers are great additions.
You have such a beautiful touch with your decorating! I love the blues and especially the addition of plaids and checks. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much Kathy! 💙
Loved the colored rug !!!! It really warmed the room and anchored it 😊
I was ready for a change! Plus, the wool helps keep so much more heat in 🥶
I love the blue and white carpets the living room look beautiful
Thank you ☺️
I’ve just spent 4 days take down and sought decorations out. Now looking forward to all spring colours.😊
Just beautiful. I love your home. 😊🇨🇦
Thank you so much! 💙
My favorite!❤❤

Hi Elizabeth! I recently discovered your channel while recovering from knee replacement surgery and girl, we are kindred spirits!

Blues compliment all the warm wood tones nicely I think 💙
Your home is like a dream!! Just gorgeous ❤
Thank you so much! It really means a lot to hear that 😊
Love your blue...it is such a friendly color!
Love the blue and white, always! Your pillow cover choices are very pretty. Happy New Year to you and your family. ❤
Happy New Year to you, too! I love how pillow covers easily switch things up! 💙
Very pretty- I think some live greens in the bay window would look nice. Some potted palms, Fiddle fig plants- a touch more greens.
I love the blue's! So warm and cozy. Love all you do!
I’m so glad you like it! 💙
Beautiful as always. I always look forward to your videos. They inspire me. 😊

Hello Linda, it was from Michaels this year.
Really enjoy your low key classy presentation. Your home is lovely & I get some good ideas. Also appreciate you don’t do a lot of sponsorships!
I appreciate you saying that ❤️
Love the Blues!
They really help to cool down all of the warm wood tones 💙
