I LOVE this time of year!!! I have had the Christmas music playing for a few weeks now and my house is decorated and feels cozy. I have really been trying to keep things simple this year and not go over board. I used a lot of real greens and only pulled out my vintage ornaments.
Take a look around and I hope you will be inspired…
TIP: I really like displaying Christmas cards throughout my house. I use simple clothes pins and attach them to lamp shades and garland. It’s a practical way to display the cards and it adds to my decor.
I hope you all have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
Gorgeous. Everything is beautiful and the tip about the cards if so creative.
Thank you so much, Marty!!
It all looks beautiful..thanks for having us in. BTW, I love it that you are looking after so many wonderful vintage pieces. They deserve to survive, so good job!
Thanks so much!! 🙂
Gorgeous, everything is so beautifully done.
What a treat to see not one but two real trees – your house is so naturally beautiful! I love all the real greenery used throughout– I always find a real tree so beautiful just with clear lights too and find it hard to decorate but always end to doing so as I have cherished ornaments I have collected over the decades that would be homeless. I have some beautiful vintage print cards I have kept for years and tuck the cards under the top corner of light switches in bedrooms and office but clothes pins to a great idea to add them in more spots. Any tips on keeping your live greenery wreaths, swags and branches alive?
Kari, thanks so much! My garland and wreaths (in the house) normally dry out so I just try to have it positioned exactly where I want it while it is still fresh. I have tried to sprits it with water but I didn’t feel like it helped much.
just beautiful, angela! love your tree! and guess what? i have a vintage red bug with a tree on top, too!
Everything is so classic and beautiful, Angela. Simple and elegant. And your photography is amazing. Have a Merry Christmas! ~ Angie
