🗝️ 7 Ways to Add European Elegance to Your Home | Create Old World Style in 2024

Oh my goodness, I so enjoyed putting this video together! Hopefully, you are encouraged to take steps forward in your current space. It's an ongoing process and such a labor of love, but worth every minute! Let me know what you are working on this summer to make your home feel like you are stepping back in time!

Your home should be in a featured magazine. I am so tired of grey & white farm house decor that all looks the same. You have a beautiful, unique style. It should be showcased!

I love old books, but my personal bar is I need to have read it, or want to read it!! In a small space, I have limited myself to 12 linear yards of books, which equates to 2 tall bookcases. I can pull individual books for styling throughout the year.

Love you communication style and designs..Congratulations in being authentic.❤

❤Antique frames for prints. Antique gold leaf frames have a patina that new ones can’t match. They dress up a room and add to that European feel.

I live in a condo and it has been my goal to make it not look like one. I love vintage and antiques and have used them in all the rooms. On the walls, in the cabinets, etc. Next is tongue and groove for my bedroom. And wallpaper!

We are very similar in what we love. I would put a germ filled bird nest in a cloche on my mantle before some tchotchkes from Target. 😂 You know? Always thrift. Always antique. I love old black and whites and old post cards and string etc. Antiques are so much richer. You used that word and it’s the perfect word! The old items have a different energy about them. It’s important. I think my soul longs for a simpler time, honestly. My mom taught me that your surroundings totally affect your frame of mind. She was so right! ❤️😊

Your advice on decorating is simplified with adding the right touch to groupings with different elements. All your rooms are beautifully decorated and I always comment on your bathroom, (😊) it’s perfect. Surrounded by nature, antiques and other objects makes it so charming. Thanks for saring your story. ❤🪴📚🕯️

Adding that piece on the ceiling is beautiful, because the house and its architecture is beautiful It would not look right in a suburban square box of a room with 8 foot ceilings. I do try to make my space fell curated over time. Love tarnished silver, old brass, vintage books, art, mixing patterns , textiles. Lots of little things that make a home cozy feeling.

We’ve always lived in the Southwest. Although it’s not vogue, I find myself decorating different themed rooms with second hand items. I guess I can’t be put in a box. 😂

I love LOVE this video! And, I need to add my name to the waitlist for the retreat you do next year. Thank you for the peace, beautiful video. It blessed my souls after such a rough week of sorrow.

Love this video. My home is From the 70’s and I lean towards vintage.

Thank you Sara for sharing with us your insights into creating a heartwarming home, vintage is so satisfying to my soul. I love French decor and have curated a home that makes me happy. Since my home is small, I always after finding new treasures, find items that need to move on to another treasure hunter, I have enjoyed the piece but have found an upgrade. I do get the his question often, “I love this piece, it speaks to me, but it is not the style/era I am collecting, what do I do?” If you love the piece, it will always work in your home because it represents you love of creating a beautiful environment. Thanks Sara, have a lovely weekend.❤️❤️

Did I enjoy this video, does a bear sleep in the woods?!!! Every minute was cozy and comfortable. I try to use items that I love, many from my Grandmother and Mother in law. I said before in a comment that I feel very nostalgic watching your videos. Thank you so much for your lovely content. God bless you always. 😊

Sarah, you are always so inspiring! The more I watch, the more ideas are sparked for my 1895 farmhouse. Thank you so much! oxJulia

I just moved into a new home. I took out all the door knobs and put glass style ones in. It makes such a difference!
