Vintage Inspired Christmas

December 22, 2020 By stylishrevamp Leave a Comment

Today I am going to wrap up my vintage inspired Christmas home tour with a glimpse into the kitchen and sunroom and also share my version of the DIY paper stars that are making their rounds on Instagram. So here we go!

I have several vintage milk glass Christmas bulbs that I place into vintage or decorative bowls throughout the house.

I’m always looking for these when I am out thrift shopping. If I weren’t so afraid of fire, I would love to see them all lit up but I’ll play it safe and enjoy them scattered about the house in decorative bowls.

I had mentioned in my previous post about my moms Putz Christmas village that she would place under the tree. She always created such a magical Christmas village scene. It’s one of my favorite memories of Christmas.

This year a sweet friend sent me 4 Putz Village pieces. It brought me to tears. I placed mine on my tree in the sunroom where the light from the tree lights up the dainty little houses. Love, love, love them!

Last year right before Christmas, I stopped by a thrift shop and they were selling all their Christmas items for $5 a bag. You could stuff an entire bag for $5. I found a box full of antique candle clips, 54 to be exact. I was so excited to use them this year. I found battery operated candles on Amazon that fit the tiny clips perfectly. I added them to the sunroom tree as well as the mantle in the office where we hang our stockings.

We use the same stockings and I love pulling them out year after year.

I decorate a pencil tree in the kitchen and use the same ornaments year after year. Most of them come from our travels and all the handmade ornaments that they boys have made through the years. The construction paper ornaments have mostly faded over time but they are still my most treasured ornaments.

I also add my DIY Christmas sign over the cooktop every year and a few other Christmas touches to make it festive.

My version of the Christmas Trees for Sale sign. I love how my DIY sign turned out.
This is a photo from a few years ago but this is where the sign goes every year. It is usually the first thing I do on December 1st.

I don’t know if you scroll Instagram like I do but it seems everyone is making the DIY stars with paper bags and some with paper. I decided to give it a try. It was a quick and simple project. Can you tell I have a lot of extra time on my hands since I haven’t been going anywhere?

I would like to get some pictures of the outside tomorrow or maybe a night time tour. I love when the house is aglow with all the white lights and candles lit. I am hoping to get my youngest to help me with that since he is way more tech savvy them me but not too sure that will happen. So for now, I will say good night and thank you for stopping by my little corner of the world! Merry Christmas!

Thrift Shop Thursday #23: Christmas Finds

December 10, 2015 By stylishrevamp 2 Comments

 

 Welcome to this weeks edition of Thrift Shop Thursday #23.  We are sharing some of our Christmas Finds from local consignment shops and our favorite store… Goodwill!

Thrift Shop Thursday #23 sharing some of our Christmas Finds

The first item up this week is a paper village set.  I picked it up because it reminded me of the village my mom always put under our Christmas tree. I think that was one of her favorite things to do, set up her village.  I would lay under that tree and stare at that village and dream for hours, it was just so pretty and seemed like the perfect town.  It was such a lovely scene.  I come from a family of seven and I am the only girl. It would not take long for one of the boys (who will not be named but we all know who he is) to drive a remote control car through the villages and rapidly try to restore it back to its original state before mom walked back into the room! Boys!  Now I have three and wouldn’t have it any other way!

Christopher Radko presents Shiny Brite Village

When I saw this paper village set by Christopher Radko it was so reminiscent of the ones from my childhood, I knew I had to have it.

I picked the entire set up for a few dollars at a consignment shop.  They are not vintage pieces but they do look similar to the ones my mom has under her tree.

The next piece I am sharing is one that I picked up at Goodwill for $5.  It’s one of those pieces that my husband just looks at and shakes his head.  Well, it was only $5 and I had a plan for it.

Metal Christmas Tree from Goodwill

My original plan for this baby was to hang all of my vintage ornaments on it.  That didn’t work.  The metal branches are too close together to hang the ornaments on.  I still like it and think it looks fabulous as is…it is still not a favorite for my hubby.  I am thinking Santa can put a few small presents under it and we are good to go!

My last find for today is another Christmas Tree. This one is a Christmas Tree card holder. I picked it up from Goodwill last summer.  We love displaying the Christmas cards we receive each year. We used to tape them on the door in the kitchen, then I made a ribbon to attach them to one year but this tree is my favorite for displaying the cards.

It is perfect.  Everyone can see the cards and it is easy to pull the cards out and read them at any time.

That wraps up this weeks Thrift Shop Thursday #23: Christmas Finds. I hope you are enjoying this Holiday Season as much as I am.

Until Next Time,
