Unique ideas for decorating for Christmas. How to create an inviting holiday space in this vintage inspired Christmas home tour.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I like to try different things when I decorate for Christmas but, ultimately, red and green have my heart. This year I added in a lot of black and brown accessories because they add warmth and a feeling of warm nostalgia. If you’ve been here a while you also know I love using things in unexpected ways to decorate. 

For this home tour I thought I would focus more on the details of each vignette. I’m also including the video so you can see how everything comes together. 

Come on in….

In the entryway I used a lot of black to ground the space.

 

 

I found this antique frame at our antique shop for just $9. It’s perfect for a bit of nostalgia in the entryway along with the antique bells and sled.

For the entryway table, I used a basket with some greens and layered in some books for a simple vignette. It’s one of my favorite holiday decorating ideas. 

 

 

Chalkboards are always easy to decorate with. I really like the depth they add with the layers on the mantel.

The top of the armoire in the great room is layered with crocks and greens. I added the basket for height and texture. 

 

 

I love to use art or prints as inspiration and when it’s thrifted it’s even better. I picked up this vintage train print at a church thrift sale for $5 and the colors are just perfect for Christmas. It’s a great jumping off point for this Christmas vignette. 

 

 

A simple addition to the coffee table…

 

 

I stuck with a black/brown and red/green theme on the hutch in the office.

I absolutely love these books and book ends.  The books are from a local antique store and I got the bookends at the Brimfield Antique Show & Flea Market. 

 

 

 

 

My husband picked up this old pocket watch at a flea market. It’s perfect for Christmas decor.

 

 

Bowls are a great way to add texture and interest…

 

 

In the family room, I kept it a bit more green/white. Another vintage decorating idea is to use old spindles tied together with a strip of drop cloth.

I used these printables from the graphics fairy as inspiration for this vignette. The Irish Santa was a gift from my husband. 🙂

 

 

I got these digital downloads on Etsy. You can find them here.

In the dining room I stuck with more traditional Christmas decorating ideas and used the red and green but the “tablecloth” is a blanket from the Targe Dollar Spot a couple of years ago.
