EARTHY, VINTAGE CHRISTMAS HOME TOUR

December 14, 2021

Hi friends! I will be taking you throughout our home and showing you our vintage Christmas decor for this year! I always want my Christmas decor to reflect the real reason of the season (Jesus). But, this year, I also wanted my decor to have a vintage and earthy, organic feel to it.

I chose gold, silver, and white as my main base colors and then added different textures of wood, greenery, and silk. If you want to read about my inspiration for this year’s Christmas, check out my Christmas planning blog post!

Earthy Vintage Christmas Home Tour: The Entrance

For the exterior of our home, I kept it super minimal. I hope to do more once we renovate the exterior of our house, but for now, I focused more on the interior and kept the outside very simple.

Earthy, Vintage Christmas Home Tour: The Living Room

In our living room, I wanted things to be cozy and inviting. I purchased our Christmas tree off of Bed, Beth, and Beyond, but I will link it on Amazon. It is so stunning!

I chose to decorate our tree with gold, silver, and white ornaments with pops of texture. I used wooden beads, mercury glass, wooden willow tree angels, and crocheted ornaments to tie in a more earthy feel. The woven stockings are from Amazon, and I love the chunky, cozy texture they bring to the room.

The mantel garland is one that I made a few years back. Check out my YouTube video if you want to hear how I did it!

The remaining Christmas decor is mostly thrifted. I used an antique brass mirror as the base of our coffee table centerpiece. Then, I placed a small vintage crock on top of the mirror and filled it with some greenery picks I purchased from Joann Fabric store.

I felt like less was more when it came to styling the built-ins. I went with mostly neutral colors, and I tied in textures using the concrete nativity scene, wicker, stems of greenery, old books, and ceramic houses.

The garland hung on our beams came from Kirkland’s, and I scored them for around $20 a piece (you can find the link for them in my Christmas planning post, here)! The mistletoe came from Target a few years back.

The pictures came from Etsy for a few dollars, and I had them printed at Walgreens. The pillows are from Target from a few years ago, and the Willow Tree Nativity was a gift from my mom.

The Dining Room

Moving into the dining room, I clipped some cedar branches from our a couple of trees in our backyard and made a garland/swag down the middle of the dining room table and island. Then, I used what was left and hung it around the center of the chandelier.

The tree in the corner is a sparse aspen fir that I purchased from Walmart. We decorated it with our sentimental ornaments from different vacations or life events!

The Kitchen

For the kitchen, I decorated the window area with a garland from Walmart. The dish towels came from Target, and everything else was thrifted. I made the cookie cutter garland with a few thrifted cookie cutters and some silk ribbon.

These are the main rooms I decorated this year. Maybe next year I will carry more decor into our bedrooms; however, for our first Christmas in this home, I am very content and happy with all that we have done.

Leave me your thoughts of our Christmas decor in the comments! ♡

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6
