Have Yourself A Vintage Little Christmas Home Tour

Happy Monday, Friends! Today I'm participating in the Bloggers' Best Holiday Home Tours hosted by sweet Kelly from The Tattered Pew. Every day this week, different bloggers will be opening their homes to share their holiday decor and inspiration, so come on in...

If you hopped over after visiting Kim from Cottage in the Mitten,  I know you enjoyed her charming old fashioned Christmas tour! I want to welcome you to my Texas home decked out for the holidays with my vintage favorites. This year, I showcased my vintage ornament collection by crafting this Christmas tree wall display.

Remember the lacy basket I hung over my mantel earlier this fall? For the holidays, I filled it with greenery and mercury glass trees and candle holders. I'm loving the added sparkle! 

My Christmas tree decorations are inspired by one of my favorite books, The Secret Garden.

Stay tuned--I'll be featuring it in more detail soon! 

Here's a view of the living room. 

I dressed up my vintage book Christmas tree with velvet ribbon and lights this holiday season.  

You can find my vintage book Christmas tree tutorial, here!

This little chickadee flew over to the sofa table to frolic under a trio of snowy trees!

My nativity set is a cherished heirloom. When my mother was a little girl, she gave my grandmother a piece each year for Christmas. My grandmother handed it down to my mother, who in turn passed it on to me. 

I proudly display it every year. I'm featuring it on my mantel this season and will be sharing a more detailed post about it next month. 

Here's a sneak peek at the Enchanted Forest themed tablescape I'll be featuring next week! 

On the opposite side of the table, I created a festive patch of assorted handmade and clearance mushrooms. See my tutorial for crafting velvet mushrooms, here! 

That brings us to a readers' favorite--my thrifted  vintage transferware collection plate wall.

My ugly duckling vintage dresser-turned-buffet is one of my favorite thrift store transformations. 

Last year during the holiday clearance sales, I bought several of the light-up houses at Hobby Lobby. 

I added to my bargain collection after the Easter and fall seasonal sales creating an entire magical village for a fraction of the cost! 

During the early Black Friday sales, I found a great deal on this blush pink velvet bedding from the Better Homes & Gardens line at Walmart. It is gorgeous and so soft! 

I added a single Christmas tree throw pillow with sparkly accents that shimmer in the light.

Isn't this metallic cardinal sweet?

Simple vignettes are a quick way to add instant holiday cheer to a nightstand or bedside table. 

Thanks for stopping by! Wishing you a holiday season that's merry and bright and a joyous Christmas!

Cottagecore Spring Home Tour

Happy Monday, Friends! It's finally spring and I'm delighted to join the Bloggers' Best Spring Home Tour! You'll see lovely home inspiration from several different bloggers every day this week. Join me today as I share my vintage favorites gathered from my thrifted collections. 

If you hopped over after visiting our sweet host Kelly from the Tattered Pew, welcome! I always enjoy seeing her beautiful home! Have you noticed that many decor styles tend to overlap these days? Instead of being defined by a specific label, I tend to decorate with what I love, allowing my home to tell my story.

Having said that, I have come to realize that most of my decor embraces the cottagecore aesthetic. The trend has been used to describe everything from clothing and decor to lifestyle choices. I've heard it referred to as "romanticized rural living" and "the feminine cousin of farmhouse decor"--these descriptions definitely tick my boxes! 

I also love that cottagecore combines floral accents, handmade decor, vintage dishes, and timeworn textures. I'll be sharing more spring accents from my kitchen in a few weeks. In the meantime, you can find the tutorial for my botanical spritzer can upcycle, here and look here to find my rustic flowerpot wreath! 

 

As we head to the dining room, I never tire of my vintage transferware plate wall. This mostly thrifted collection has been gathered over time. 

I named this handsome fellow, Leonardo.

Find this floral cross upcycle here! 

See how to salvage leftover remnants to create lovely "new" vintage candles, here! 

Want to see what this thrifted dresser-turned-buffet looked like before its makeover? 

I had so much fun styling this "garden thyme" spring mantel and gallery wall--best of all, I gathered everything from my home and garden! 

It was inspired by a pair of $5 statuary that I scored at an estate sale several years ago. I call them Eve...

...and Adam. 

The whimsical decor brings a smile to my face each time I pass by! 

Do you like the scent of hyacinths or do you find them cloying? I enjoy them in a larger space, but the sweet fragrance might be overwhelming in the bedroom. 

You'll notice plenty of bunnies and blooms in my spring decor.

Here's a closer peek inside my china cabinet. 

I found these cute burlap bags of bulbs several years ago on clearance. Since then, I use them for seasonal blooming bulbs. 

Thanks so much for dropping by today! 

You're in for a treat--next on the tour is Stacy from Bricks 'N Blooms! Remember to visit the rest of my friends to find spring home inspiration each day this week!
