Each year I liked to make things look a little different for Christmas. For example, one room is decorated in what I'd call "earthy" decorations, and this room is where my vintage decor goes. First off, a photo of part of the tree with vintage ornaments. A few are family pieces, and the rest I have slowly collected. I like Shiny Brites but I also have many from Poland and West Germany
Kind of looks like a hodgepodge but oh well. I've contemplated getting a white tree so it's easier to see the ornaments.
And of course, what room would be complete without the ceramic light-up Christmas tree? It doesn't go with my mom's decor for Christmas so I have it now.
1960's light up Santa on the bookcase and a little basket my grandma made in the 1950's or 60's out of Christmas cards. Apparently it was a popular craft at the time.
I also added a pine cone swag over the window, but it's hard to see in the photo below. This year I also used a folding coat rack to display special WWII ornaments, and I did the string of Christmas cards across the room. I've never done it before, but I like how it looks and will probably do it again in the future. Very festive.
Merry Christmas
