This French Vintage Christmas living room and mantel tour has many beautiful French touches that you can recreate in your home.

White fireplace mantel with white stockings hanging on the mantel, a garland of greenery on the mantel trailing onto the floor, a gold and White Christmas tree, and a French inspired mirror on the floor beside the tree.

Welcome to my French Vintage Christmas living room and mantel tour! Today I’m participating in the Magical & Merry Holiday Home Tour hosted by Sarah of Grace in My Space so be sure to visit the other bloggers at the end of the post! If you’re coming here from My Vintage Porch, welcome!

I just posted my French Christmas Dining Room on Monday and today is part two of my Christmas tour – my French Vintage living room and mantel. I wasn’t sure if I would be able to top last year’s Christmas decorating as it was just featured in a 14-page spread in Cottages & Bungalows! The ideas I had to change it up a bit worked and I’m in love with this year’s timeless decorating more so than last year.

Gold and White Christmas tree with wrapped presents under the tree and eucalyptus and evergreen on the mantel.

I love the way my quaint mantel looks this year! I’ve been obsessed with seeded eucalyptus all year and added some to my faux evergreen garlands.The trumeau mirror I made for my French Vintage book that is coming out next year so you’ll have to wait until then for the tutorial on how to make your own 😉

 I made this Joyeux Noel fabric banner on the mirror last week. You can find the tutorial here.

These beautiful wooden garlands are from Soft Surroundings and I’m in absolute love with them! I knew instantly that I would be draping them around my fireplace when I saw them online. I have two of them draped over my classic mantel.

The European-looking stockings I made last year from antique French linen. You can find the printable sewing pattern in that post.

Fireplace mantel with a gold mirror above it, and gold wall sconces beside the mirror.

You can also make this wreath and the beautiful fabric garland as I posted the tutorials.

 I used my French baskets to hold the gifts under the decorated tree.

I also have free Christmas gift labels for you to download to add to your gifts this year. Click the image below.

French baskets under the Christmas tree with Christmas ornaments inside them.

The crown is new and I’ve added it to the top of the tree like an angel or star. I’ve noticed they are sold out online at The Cross but I found a similar one on their website.

I hope you enjoyed this magical & merry tour. It was so much fun to decorate it for you this year.

Thank you for being such a lovely reader! I hope you enjoyed my French Vintage living room and mantel Christmas tour today.

    Where did you get your mantel? I love the look, but have no idea where to even start looking for one.

      Hi Kimberly,
      I posted some information here: https://somuchbetterwithage.com/2016/01/fabulous-limestone-fireplaces/
      Foxcraft Stoneworks made our fireplace but you might try googling ‘cast stone fireplace’ in your area to find a similar place.

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? .

Oh man, I am so sentimental. It really makes it ha Oh man, I am so sentimental. It really makes it hard to also be a person that is organized and hates clutter! 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? Do you have a hard time with letting go of sentimental items? I have lots of tips of in my blog post ➡️ Check stories for the link and I’ll keep it in my organization highlight in my profile.
