    A Holiday Home Tour With A Vintage Appeal

    Published by Pam Kessler | 252 words. · About 2 minutes to read this article. - 30 Comments

    Are you wondering what to do with all the Shiny Brites you inherited from your mom or grandma?

    Or Aunt Martha's light-up ceramic Christmas tree?

    Or all the vintage Christmas decor you accumulate from the thrift stores?

    Learn how to decorate with vintage Shiny Brite Christmas ornaments along with other retro holiday decor. This ain't your mama's vintage Christmas!

    I don't know about you, but I never walked by a vintage piece of Christmas decor at the thrift store that didn't jump into my cart! And I also have a boatload of vintage Christmas decor from my mom's house.

    In my home, the dining room is the place that I like to display the majority of the vintage Christmas decor. It seems to make more of an impact when grouped together.

    But you could designate any room in your home as THE place for vintage Christmas. Or all the rooms.

    I'm going to warn you up front, this is a photo rich post, so not a lot of compelling commentary.

    But plenty of Christmas eye candy.

    OK, just breaking in here to say this is the ceramic tree that I got at the thrift store in October. I told you I'd put it to good use.

    And here's where I put my Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer vintage sheet music that I had made into a free printable for you.

    OK, I'm back to shutting up now. Carry on.

      I love all the pretty christmas decor at your house! The vintage ornaments on the tree, the little porcelain tree, and the chenille stem candycanes. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!

      Pam I love your dining room, it's filled with so many little touches that make it cozy. I especially like your ceramic Christmas tree with the tiny lights. Also, I wish I could have a big tree in our dining room!

      Love all of the vintage ornaments. I happen to have one of those ceramic trees too. From my mother-in-law. It was her mothers.

      Ooooh, I used to have a ceramic tree like this, only it was white with red lights. I love this green one with the colored lights. I eventually gave mine away with all the moving, and now I wish I had it. Your lantern is perfect for the Christmas season.
