French Christmas Decor

I used elegant French vintage decor to decorate my house this Christmas!

Today I’m sharing more of my Christmas decorating and the French vintage touches I’ve added.

I’m also participating in a French Christmas blogging tour hosted by my friend Rachel of Maison de Pax so be sure to visit the other French Christmas tours at the end of this post!

The fireplace mantel decorated with a wooden mirror and wreath hanging on it, plus neutral Christmas stockings are hanging above the fireplace.

Putting French Christmas decor together is seriously something I don’t have to think too hard about, it just naturally happens for me.  I just gravitate to the earthy, neutral tones, beautiful grain sacks, rustic woods, dough bowls and Eiffel towers.

This new white Christmas tree is something that I love! I recently made this ‘Joyeux Noel’ sign with my Silhouette machine.

Then I bought this rustic mirror from a local store that was going out of business (the mirror is cracked, you can see how I fixed it and antiqued the mirror here) and the Christmas stockings I bought from there last year. I wish they still sold them but I found similar stockings here.

French vintage Christmas stockings are hanging from the fireplace mantel with a wicker basket below.

The flocked twig wreath is a Home Sense but this twig wreath is very similar.

Two candles are on either side of the fireplace mantel mirror.

I made my own crocks on the mantel recently. Update: here is a new post along with a video on how to make your own crocks!

The woodland twig trees I bought from Home Sense but this driftwood Christmas tree is similar.

There are rustic bells on the stockings that are hanging above the fireplace.

These snowy globe Eiffel tower ornaments are my favorite French items!

Oh and I can’t forget about my DIY sheet music wooden tag ornaments.

There is an Eiffel Tower Christmas ornament hanging on the white Christmas tree.

A vintage dough bowl is very European. I’ve used that wooden bowl and the 7-up crate in so many decor change-ups around the house.

Wrapping gifts in kraft paper and burlap gives a rustic vintage feel as well.

Christmas presents wrapped in burlap and brown paper with gold bows are under the tree.

 The metal twig reindeer are from Pottery Barn and the rustic reindeer is from Home Sense a few years back. Pottery Barn now has these metal reindeer.

A twig reindeer sits on the mantel beside deer branches.

I didn’t add any Christmas decor to my bookshelves but you can see how they are already styled with French touches.

White bookshelves with knicknacks.
  French grain sack Christmas stockings are hanging on the mantel.

My little collection of Eiffel towers under a glass cloche on an old silver tray.

Be sure to check out my newly renovated kitchen decorated for Christmas.

There is a fresh Christmas wreath hanging on the subway tile in the kitchen with a mini Christmas tree on the dining room table.
A santa is beside mason jars upside down with mini trees inside.

I hope you enjoyed this French Christmas tour.

Now be sure to be inspired by more French-influenced Christmas decor from my friends below!

Do you know what all these beautiful rooms have in Do you know what all these beautiful rooms have in common! They are all painted in the same paint color - White Dove OC-17 by @benjaminmoore. 💚 White is one of the hardest colors to pick for your home. It can pick up different surrounding colors which is why you can’t just Google a paint color and paint it on your walls. 💚 For my home, Simply White has worked the best. And White Dove is very similar. Swipe to see  some of these gorgeous rooms. 💚➡️ Check my blog post for tips on the best way to pick any paint colors for your home.

Our basement is the perfect place to store seasona Our basement is the perfect place to store seasonal / holiday / decor items. I’ve had plenty of it over the years (too much!) as I’ve been blogging for 10 years! I went through all my Christmas decor this year before I packed it all away and got rid of so much! It felt so good. 💚 Next, I’ll do the same for the other holidays coming up (like Easter, I have 2 bins just for Easter!). Decluttering is easier when it’s done in stages. I’m also really into minimal seasonal decor lately so I think it will be much easier to say goodbye to the extra ‘stuff’. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you have lots of seasonal / holiday / decor items in your home? ➡️ Check out my blog posts on how to organize these items in IG stories. .

Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms o Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms of square footage not how the builder or the previous owner used it. My dining room was once a family room but with our small main floor already having a living room and a very small dining room, we thought this room would be better suited for a bigger dining room (swipe to see the before with the cabinet, the before before when we first bought it and the reno) 💚 It pays to look at your home differently especially during this pandemic. I think we’re all going to look at how we use our homes differently going forward. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you use a room for a different purpose than what it was intended for? .

I’m a sentimental purger! 😂 I feel most happy when everything has its place and I’ve kept a few meaningful things, but not too many. Just the right amount. It’s a very fine balance, isn’t it?
