Classic, Simple Christmas Tour

I have put all my creative ideas into my Christmas home decor tour with classic and simple touches!

Every year I make it my challenge to decorate for Christmas in a little different way using the same decorations. Some years I add a couple new things (like all the plaid a couple of years ago) but this year I’m proud to say I didn’t add anything new except some stocking holders (which are awesome, by the way. I’ll link them below!).

Decorated Holiday Mantel and Living Room

For my mantel decor, I used the same garland I used last year from Canadian Tire and the stockings I made in 2016.

My flocked Christmas tree hasn’t changed much this year, because I love it so much!

But here is the stocking hook! It’s the easiest thing to hang up your Christmas stockings with.

I used the crown again for the tree topper that I’ve used for the past few years. I added wire to the bottom of it so it can sit upon the tree. You can see in the image below.

Shop Crowns

I used my knitted garland (4 of them) that I bought from Crate and Barrel a couple of years. They no longer sell them but I found knitted garland here.

I’ve had these precious Paris snow globe Christmas ornaments for years and I love them so much.

There are only two types of ornaments on this tree, the Paris snow globes and these beautiful chandeliers. I purchased them at The Cross two yeas ago but I haven’t seen them for sale since.

It actually looks like there are only two types of ornaments on my tree and I think it’s because of the flocking. You can read more about flocked trees here.

A set of three vintage looking bells sit on the mantel with the lighted garland.

I hung the Christmas garland similar to last year’s mantel by just using Command Hooks. You can get the easy tutorial here.

Two years ago I bought the Christmas tree collar from Crate and Barrel and I just checked and it’s sold out again this year. Here is a similar tree collar.

Kitchen

In the kitchen, I hung holiday garland from the Dollar Store above the large windows.

I popped this Christmas tree into my large crock and added bottle brush trees to a vintage baguette basket.

I’ve had this twig fall wreath for as long as I can remember! I love its simplicity.

For my kitchen island centrepiece, I added large bottle brush trees to my vintage wooden dough bowl. I bought the super large ones at Home Sense last year and I can’t find ones that large online.

You can see my previous kitchen island centrepieces here:

• Oranges and evergreen
• Vintage sled and candles
• Vintage sled and gingerbread houses
• Antlers and candles

Shop Dough Bowls

I added more vintage looking bells to the opening shelving in the kitchen and my favorite Christmas mugs that I bought years ago from Pottery Barn (they no longer sell the collection).

Shop Christmas Plates & Mugs

I’ve also had this driftwood tree for years and years. I believe I got it at Home Sense. The maple syrup candle smells exactly like maple syrup and these plates go with my Christmas mug collection.

Shop Candle and Tree

Here is a close-up of the bottle brush trees in a vintage baguette basket.

Dining Room

I finally added artwork to the dining room! I picked from the big list of downloadable vintage artwork that I shared recently.

I took black Ikea frames and made them look like vintage gold frames.

I’ve had this collection of brass candlesticks for years too that I collected from thrift stores.

Do you spot the kitty sleeping underneath the table?

My DIY rosemary garland looks really pretty on the table.
