A Cozy Vintage Christmas

This year, I wanted to keep my Christmas decor simple. After the year we’ve had, I just wanted a cozy Christmas at home and I wanted my decor to reflect that. I wasn’t feeling some of my bright red decor pieces that I’ve used in years past and I actually sold some of it on Facebook Marketplace. While I did keep some pops of red in certain areas around the house, I incorporated more neutrals than I usually do. I wanted it to feel cozy and inviting this Christmas, with a vintage farmhouse feel.

In our entryway, I hung a jute star garland that I found on clearance at Hobby Lobby a few years ago and this adorable book page banner that my friend Amy @theboundandprint made me. I used my favorite chunky knit pillow covers and a couple of thrifted tan pillows on the church pew. I love the look of wood and white paired with neutrals.

In the front sitting room, one of my favorite rooms in the house, I decorated my shelf with a DIY book page banner, thrifted brass candlesticks, faux cedar garland, and an antique gold mirror. I used a vintage sled that I found at Goodwill as coffee table decor.

One of our Christmas traditions is to go out and cut a real tree every year as a family. We found a local tree farm last year that sells Canaan and Frazier firs and all of their trees are $35. I love searching through the field with our little ones to find the perfect tree and cutting it down ourselves. I only bought one pack of ribbon ornaments and some white cording (1.29/yd) from Hobby Lobby this year. All of the other ornaments I already had.

I used some cedar stems in my antique galvanized vase as a centerpiece on my dining table. I paired it with a brass trumpet candlestick that I found at Goodwill for $1 and a candle placed in a $3 mini wreath from the Target dollar spot.

I used other vintage-style pieces around the dining room, like a thrifted brass horn and an old-fashioned hot cocoa sign.

I wanted to keep at least one room in the house completely neutral. I was so excited to decorate our living room for Christmas since we just recently gave it a refresh. I replaced the jute rug in here with this neutral rug I found on Facebook Marketplace for only $20!

I kept our master bedroom decor neutral too. I strung a bell garland that I made using bells I found at Goodwill and added a pillow from the Target dollar spot on our bed.

I decided to use my red Rae Dunn Christmas pieces on my mug rack and on my coffee bar for some pops of red. I also added just a few pops of red here and there. I’m glad I didn’t completely ditch the red everywhere!

I really am happy with our Christmas decor this year and plan to do a similar look next year. Let me know what you think in the comment section below!

Thank you for reading and Merry Christmas! 🎄

1. This Gorgeous $30 Flocked Tree

Holiday Time Un-Lit Snow-Flocked Pine Artificial Christmas Tree, 6′, White

This tree is beautiful and 6ft tall! I didn’t own a fake tree and wanted one for our living room, so I picked up one of these. These sell out quickly, so get it now if you want it! If it’s not available online, RUN to your nearest Walmart!

2. This 6ft Faux Cedar Garland

It is hard to find a faux cedar garland and this one is adorable and affordable!

3. This Homemade Hot Cocoa Tea Towel

I can’t wait to use this cute Hearth & Hand tea towel on my hot cocoa bar! The best part is it is only $3.99!

I have always liked the vintage Santa mugs but haven’t ever found one! This one gives the vintage look for only $5!

And finally…

5. This Beautiful Wicker Tree Collar

Holiday Time Natural Seagrass Woven Christmas Tree Collar, 27″

I didn’t buy this one because I found one very similar at Hobby Lobby on clearance for $5 last year. But if I didn’t have one already, I would want this one! I have a feeling these will sell out quickly!
