It's Beginning To Look a Lot Like Christmas!

Welcome to our home, all decorated for Christmas!


I made this wreath last year out of the deco mesh that was everywhere.  Our front door is orange, so I added teal ornaments to make it work better with the red and green.  For most holidays, I made huge wreaths to fit around the monogram I keep on the door.  This year I added the burlap ribbon with little red jingle bells.  I love it!


Our Christmas tree is covered in vintage and retro ornaments.  


 I found this vintage wooden bead garland at an antique store in town a few years ago.  The ornament is also a vintage find.  


I love these ornaments with indentations.  I have a set of new Shiny Brite ones.


This is a vintage ornament from my mother-in-law.


This is part of another set of Shiny Brite ornaments.  Each one is a different, bright color with a different flocked scene on it.  I think these are my favorites.


On top of my china cabinet, I set up a scene of little Putz houses with bottle brush trees.  I am crazy for this type of thing!



My mom got me these Fiesta Christmas plates last year to coordinate with my regular Fiesta dishes.  The ornaments are all different colors so they go with all of my multi-colored plates and serving pieces.



These vintage Santa mugs are also from my mother-in-law.  I trade out the Fiesta in my two display cabinets for all of my red and green pieces.  :)



The guest room gets fun pink trees!


I added Christmas books to the coffee table and a few vintage ornaments to my little Arkansas dish.


I love getting out my Christmas candles.  Frasier fir is my all-time favorite.  That little Christmas tree is another gift from my mother-in-law...it comes apart and the top is a lighter while each layer of limbs is an ashtray!  I love things like this that are so adorable and such neat reminds of the way things used to be.


The mantel decor is simple.  I got cardboard letters from Hobby Lobby and covered them with German glass glitter.  I surrounded them with evergreen garland and huge colored lights.  They're my favorite part of any Christmas decor.


My stocking was made by my grandmother for me when I was a baby.  I made James's the Christmas before we got married.  I can't imagine Christmas without my stocking and luckily James did not have one he was attached to, so ours get to match.  I made one for my sister's husband when they were married, and last year I made one for my niece.  Hopefully one day I'll be making matching ones for my kids. :)


Thanks for stopping by!

  1. I love all your Christmas decorations! I am a big fan of vintage ornaments, they're just so pretty! My parents have many similar ones that were passed down from my grandparents and I pick them up whenever I see them in a thrift store (which unfortunately isn't really that often). And your wreath is fantastic!!!

  2. Thank you! I'm lucky to have family members that love to visit thrift stores and often pick things up for me. :)
