Every year I look forward to getting all of our bins out of the attic and this year was no different. After a crazy year, I couldn't wait to add lights and cheer and holiday spirit to our home. Our halls are decked and I'm ready to share our home tour so grab yourself a Diet Coke or a hot chocolate and join me for a Christmas Home Tour.
Front Porch
On our front porch, I used all sorts of vintage fun! I've picked up the vintage pieces over the years at the flea market and the thrift store.
I found some ice skates at the thrift store a few weeks ago and thought they would look great hanging on our vintage ladder. (I really did find them at Goodwill. I was so excited!) I also hung a flat backed metal bucket on the ladder and filled it with branch clippings. I leaned my vintage sled up against the ladder.
On the front door, I hung a plain grapevine wreath that I tied various Christmas ribbons.
I hung a large evergreen wreath on the front window with a snowflake light. I put a tall vintage bucket of evergreen clippings with vintage plastic candy canes. I love the look of the pillow covers on our Adirondack chairs.
Living Room
In our living room, I went for a colorful vintage look.
Lizzie is happy to invite you in a give you lots of loves! She will accompany you while you look around and enjoy the Christmas decorations.
On the table inside our front door, I placed a vintage green window. Above the window I mounted 2 vintage stair bannisters. In front of the window and tied on twine and clipped on marquee letters with mini clothespins. I also placed a wooden cubby that I filled with some of my Shiny Bright collection. On top of the cubby, I placed mini Christmas trees and handmade quilted trees.
Over here in this corner, is my favorite green metal cabinet. I talk about it all of the time because I love it so much. I found it many years ago at the Nashville Flea Market. On top of the green cabinet is a small cabinet I found recently at the thrift store. I filled the cabinet with Santa mugs.
On the wall mounted peg rack, I hung vintage grain sifters and a wreath that was made earlier this week. Above the peg rack I hand painted a Christmas tree sign on a scrap of wood.
Above our couch I placed a tobacco stick star, purchased at a boutique many years ago, that I wrapped fairy lights around. I placed a faux garland across the board and batten shelf then hung 7 different stockings for our family: my husband and me, my 3 kids, my soon to be daughter-in-law and our dear Lizzie.
Dining Room and Kitchen
In our dining room, I always keep the décor simple because it's quite small and we eat dinner at the table every night.
On the table I layered a riser, a vintage red shutter and then a decorative wooden box. Inside the box I placed Christmas candles along with pine branches and pine cones.
On each of our dining room chairs, I tied on vintage knit stockings that I found at a local antique store. The stockings were kind of limp looking so I stuffed them with plastic grocery sacks.
Above our sideboard hangs a DIY shelf I made out of cabinet doors. On the shelf I placed vintage window screens and glass jars filled with Christmas candy. On the sideboard, I placed my collection of cakes plates and nativities from my collection.
Above the kitchen cabinets, I placed my vintage thermos collection along with a pine garland and more fairy lights. Since the lights are remote controlled they can be turned on very easily.
Lastly, underneath the dish rack, hanging from this peg rack, I hung my collection of vintage cutting boards. On a red cake stand, I placed a yummy Christmas candle to keep my house smelling great for Christmas!
And that's it for my Christmas Home Tour. I hope you enjoyed it and that it inspired you in decorating your home.
