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! 🎄

How to Create a Cozy Christmas Coffee Bar

It’s that time of year again! Time to deck the halls for Christmas! I love this time of year and Christmas is one of my favorite holidays to decorate for. I couldn’t decorate for Christmas without creating a cozy Christmas coffee bar!

You only need a to do a few things to transform a regular coffee bar into a festive space all decked out for Christmas. Below are some ideas on how to create your very own cozy Christmas coffee bar!

1. Christmas Mugs

I love to display my Christmas Rae Dunn mugs on my coffee bar! Having Christmas mugs rather than regular mugs set out instantly creates a Christmas look. Below are a few adorable Christmas mugs I love.

15oz Stoneware Santa Mug- Threshold
16oz Stoneware Merry Christmas Mug White- Threshold

16oz Stoneware All Mama Wants Is A Silent Night Christmas Mug White – Threshold™

2. Christmas Sign

I used this Merry Christmas sign from the Target dollar spot this year in my Christmas coffee bar. I used a Merry Christmas wood cutout from Hobby Lobby last year. Displaying Christmas signs are a great way to make the space look festive and there are so many adorable signs to choose from!

36″ x 12″ Merry Christmas Framed Wall Print – Threshold™

3. Winter Greenery or Miniature Trees

Using winter greens or mini Christmas trees on a coffee bar make the space look cozy and natural. Mini bottle brush trees are great too! This year, I untied two $3 mini cedar wreaths from the Target dollar spot and stretched them flat to make a small garland. But there are a lot of different greenery options to choose from! Here are a few of my favorites:

Holiday Time Unlit Cedar Garland, 6′
Bottle Brush Tree Figurine – Threshold™
Faux Pine Tree in Metal Planter – Hearth & Hand™ with Magnolia

You really don’t need much to create a cute and cozy Christmas coffee bar! I hope I’ve given you some inspiration today. Thank you for reading and God bless!

Cozy Neutral Christmas Decor

If you follow me on Instagram, it’s pretty obvious that I love neutrals. They’re so versatile and just feel cozy to me. Neutrals have been increasingly popular in Christmas decor the past few years.

I used a lot of neutrals with pops of red in my Christmas decor last year and that’s my plan again this year.

I used mostly neutrals with pops of red last year.

I would like to share with you some of my favorite neutral Christmas decor finds. I don’t own many of these items and I do not want you to think you have to purchase any new decor in order for your home to be beautiful this Christmas. I just know that some people, including myself, like to buy a couple of items each year. So today, I want to share some decor pieces that would help you create a cozy, neutral Christmas look.

Hopefully I’ve given you some ideas today to help with your holiday shopping. There are some ideas for bigger, more expensive gifts and some less expensive gifts. Don’t think that just because I’ve included things that are out of your price range that you’re not giving enough. Quite a few of these items are a lot more than I could afford to spend on a gift for someone, I know they’re sought after items that many people who enjoy creating a home would love.

I know it’s only the beginning of November, but I’ve learned it is best not to wait and get your Christmas shopping done early, as some things can go out of stock if you wait too long.

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!
