The Nativity will look beautiful in the console table or dresser. You can place it in wooden riser surrounded by bottle or mini trees. If you place it in an angle opposite to the lamp you would still have a place in the center for an arrangement or a bowl with ornaments.
Yes! You are right, the console would definitely be the best place for the nativity scene. I think that’s where it would look the best and also be the safest from Rambo knocking it over on accident. I’ll have to play with that!
Rub and buff the deer to antique gold and add burgundy ribbons to the neck.... for the wreaths add oversized ribbon that is floppy and KEEP THE STAR... it screams class.....Jennifer
Ooooh that’s a good idea! I hadn’t thought about them being like an antique gold! And adding ribbon!!!! I’ll have to try it! And yes I do think I love the star 🥰 Thank you for your help!!! ☺️❤️
I would also suggest removing the faux ficus tree out of the dining room for the season and let the wreaths shine or maybe replacing it with a skinny Christmas tree.
Yes!!!! Ideally and probably in the future I really really wanna get a second and maybe smaller/thinner Christmas tree for the dining room to go in that corner!!! ☺️❤️🎄
Hello Brooke! I'm late, but catching up! I love the twinkle lights, your lights look really good! I also love the star & I'd keep it!😉 I don't think the basket looks bad at all, and you can always find a throw or blanket that will go with your theme or colors and drape over the basket to give it more of a vintage versus boho style. Personally I think is whatever you love! I myself love old throws, quilts or blankets.. just something old bunched around the stand. I have a love for bells.. all shapes & sizes, that look old. The little rusty bell wreath ornament you had in your hand was so pretty.. just had to let you know!😁 The white Santa.. just rub it with antiquing wax & it'll look vintage! I use it on everything! Including shiny brass & bells, ceramic, wood, literally anything, is easy, inexpensive & looks great when you're done! Stop it! I bought those same bells g made my own garland Reith that same size jute!😄 I took some extras & put in a brass bowl. I like the pinecone tree.. another piece you could use the wax on if you want to make it more vintage or antique g less shiny. And just add a bow on top! I like the deer, but agree, they're for more modern decor. I'd keep them tho just in case you decide to do something different in another room.🤷♀️ Oh everybody loves a Santa mug! Oh I love that wood sled! Its so pretty & looks old! What A deal on the price! I'd love to have several of those! I want a real one to put on the porch with a pair of old white pair skates & a swag, a wreath or some kind of greenery. The greenery from your wedding, if you don't mind cutting it, pieces can always be used to add in garlands, wreaths, & arrangements. I see that particular kind of greenery being used in Christmas greenery all the time! Of course I understand if you don't want to cut it! Wreaths on the cabinet will be pretty.. probably like you said, on the middle doors. Maybe A bigger one in the center & smaller ones on each side even?🤷♀️ I would def decorate the entire top of it with the garland! I know this isn't the vibe you're going for, its just a personal look that I'd love..but some old blow molds would be so cool up there!!😁 Oh I'm loving berries on any type of greenery.. Garland, wreaths, picks & stems, florals.. all the things! I like the berries & poinsettias in the tree! I'm so glad you decided to hang the wreaths by ribbon over the door..i was going to suggest that! That's the way I like them best! I agree, lower looks better! I think i would def add a bow to top of wreath! But It really does look beautiful! I think with that ribbon the berries look fine as is, they're closer to the color of the ribbon.. it they pop off the dark cabinet. The dark one may be too dark?🤷♀️ Hey thrifty prices are better than investment prices any day!😉😁 Its really great to see your excitement & joy in all this! I've enjoyed this video & I'm going to watch the next!😊
Oh do not even worry about it! You aren’t late at all and I’m so glad you enjoyed the video!!☺️❤️ And thank you so much for all your advice and help on all the different pieces of decor in my Christmas box, it’s so helpful and I hope to keep decorating and give y’all an update soon! I love the antiquing wax idea you had too! So thank you!
Love the star. Think it blends in beautifully with the Vintage Hallmark. Agree with the items you chose to keep and part with. Adding each year is the exciting part because you get to take your time throughout year to be sure that's what you want and money saved buying out of season. Have an amazing weekend.
Yes!! You are so right I hadn’t even thought about the fact I can look year round now! And get the deals and sales on things that fit my new look! That’s so exciting!
That is an idea! He’s so pretty but the pink just won’t work! And okay I like it too, the more I thought about it the more I was like yeah it needs to stay so I’m glad you agree! ☺️❤️
Coming up with a plan and a vision is really key to making things work together. Sometimes we can miss the obvious with our own spaces. I did that with my small bathroom. For years i just used what i had and tried to make it work. Once i made a plan and was more intentional it turned out like i wanted it to. Using what you have is important but often you need to pick up a few things to make it fit a certain look. I know you can do it with a direction! I appreciate that you are not showcasing all the latest lines from target etc. So many channels are buying hundreds of dollars of new decor for christmas. It is not realistic for most people.
It really is the key!!! Even if it doesn’t all come together immediately or if you decide to slowly shop for it over time it still makes it so much easier and way less overwhelming. And it usually turns out with a better result in the end too! And I agree, I 100% don’t have the budget or desire to purchase a full home of new target and pottery barn decorations each year 🤣 Plus that just seems so wasteful to me to replace my decor each year. I don’t really understand it apart from just showcasing what’s new? Idk it’s not for me and so I’m happy to be the part of UA-cam that sticks with what I got haha. I’m glad you enjoyed it! ☺️❤️
My suggestion is not switch out the berries, the red berries match the red ribbon. I got excited watching you so happy. Find a place for the vintage nativity scene. It will give you a good feeling. Loved the video.
Thank you for helping! I do agree, after I got the wreaths up, I think the red berries are growing on me! And you are right, I know if I found a place for it I would enjoy it. Thank you so much for watching and enjoying the video ☺️❤️

Turn the tree collar upside down it gives the look of the tree in a basket…very vintage looking!!
Oooh I like that idea!!!!! I’ll have to try it!!! Thank you! ☺️

The wreaths look so nice on your beautiful black cabinets
Thank you so much! I love them 🥹❤️

Yes!! You are so right I hadn’t even thought about the fact I can look year round now! And get the deals and sales on things that fit my new look! That’s so exciting!
I would definitely place a bow on each wreath. They look fabulous on your cabinets.
Thank you so much! I definitely think I’m gonna add the bows. That will just make them even more magical I think!
No, those stairs are just great. You can put some rub and buff on them like the other lady said.
Yeah I hadn’t thought about painting them! Or like rub and buffing them! It’s a good idea!
You are just the cutest. Don't stress about your decor. Just enjoy the season. ❤️
Thank you ☺️❤️ I’m just excited to finally have a direction, it feels so fun this year!
@brookesimplybliving I hope you have a wonderful holiday season. I can't wait to watch you during vlogmas. 🌲🌟☃️
Aww I hope you have a wonderful holiday season too!!! And yes! Thriftmas starts this weekend! I hope to see you over there on Instagram! ❤️❤️❤️
Paint that pink Santa white! Love the tree topper!
That is an idea! He’s so pretty but the pink just won’t work!
And okay I like it too, the more I thought about it the more I was like yeah it needs to stay so I’m glad you agree! ☺️❤️
Forgot..keep the star, it is vintage and Christmas scenes have “the star”. ❤️
Thank you! I do love the star ✨❤️
Now, that I’ve seen the plan 🤣🤣🤣
You know…. The “plan” 🤣
Coming up with a plan and a vision is really key to making things work together. Sometimes we can miss the obvious with our own spaces. I did that with my small bathroom.

@@brookedonnellyliving I loved it and was so fun to see your excitement. I am glad I have found channels that are more realistic and more my speed>:)
Aww I’m so glad you are here too!!! ☺️❤️
Use the sleigh as a riser.
Yes I think I love it under the tree as a little riser 🥰❤️
My suggestion is not switch out the berries, the red berries match the red ribbon. I got excited watching you so happy. Find a place for the vintage nativity scene. It will give you a good feeling. Loved the video.

And you are right, I know if I found a place for it I would enjoy it.
Thank you so much for watching and enjoying the video ☺️❤️
Don’t swap the berries! Paint some of them with burgundy or deeper red. Problem solved & you don’t have to reassemble anything.
Yeah I think everyone is agreeing to keep the red berries and not remove them! And I have to say I think I’m learning to love them!
I agree the deer seem too modern
Yeah they do seem modern, I’m wondering if I could maybe paint them or add ribbon or something but idk 🤷🏼♀️
