HAPPY MONDAY! Let's get this week started in style..So I mentioned via INSTAGRAM that I didn't know if it's because it's been a hectic hard year or just because I'm o l d, but I went simple old fashioned /winter/ Christmas decor this year...I guess I used bolder pieces, traditional pieces & lots of warm greens, oranges & my focus color brown!! I know it sounds different but it's sooo cozy & basically is focused around this awesome rug I scored at Target...plus I just wanted an old fashioned Christmas..oranges, cinnamon bundles & lots of lanterns & woods mixed in. Come see our comfy old fashion rustic Christmas living room below...
• Side Note: I'll be photographing our downstairs family room which is something I also went very different with! Inspiration GALORE -I promise.
So, like above as I mentioned I was drawn to brown's this year! Lots of old fashion patterns, dark browns, galvanized goods, mason jars & brown glass! I had the idea of fresh orange slices & cinnamon sticks months ago, but am kinda bummed to see it's so popular this year...I wanted a bit of a different flocked old fashioned tree, so I added homemade cinnamon stick bundles { few posts back} & added orange slices & eucalyptus branches throughout!
We moved this vintage bed & breakfast chandelier in here a few months ago & it completed this old fashioned Christmas look. Paired with the warm brown wool rug, wood treasures & galvanized accents!
I ordered the orange slices off of etsy.com
& placed a few scattered in the matching flocked garland. The mixed in vintage mason jars & brown trees complete the mantel!
I picked up this "log" bucket from @homegoods & filled it with a huge wood slice & festive rustic branches! The crisp white candles pull together the oversized cozy white chair pillows & fireplace!!
These brown mason jars are vintage dupes from @Michael's & they're on built in timers which is so convenient! I love the lids..they looks so vintageyy without the price!! The clear masons are antiques all the way from Maine!!
What's your favorite type of Christmas decor? Traditional, eclectic, vintage, modern, farmhouse, cottage, etc.. I'd love to hear in the comments!!
