Take a tour of this old house all dressed up for Christmas with vintage holiday decor.
Hi there… it’s been quite the holiday season around here already and December is just getting started. If you already visited my holiday front porch and kitchen already, then you’ve probably come to expect more vintage vibes in this Holiday Home tour. And, you would be right!
Whether you are popping over from Jamie Costiglio or you’ve been around the Seasonal Simplicity home tours since the beginning, I’m so happy to have you! This entire year has been such great fun and I’ve enjoyed sharing my simple seasonal touches with you.
My guests almost always use the back door at our house, so that’s where we’ll begin. Come on in.

This entryway recently got a classic farmhouse makeover this fall. So, this is my first holiday season to decorate it.
I decided to keep it simple, since this space fills up with coats, hats, boots and other warm-weather necessities this season. I’m recently loving copper accents and I thought it would dress up the black and white in this space.
If I’m being completely honest, I purchased this adorable black plaid scarf because I thought it would look as good hanging up in here as it would on me. Please tell me I’m not the only person who does that.
Vintage locker bins and this old bread shelf help to keep things tidy all winter. I love the timeworn look of this shelf, but I added a coat of polyurethane to protect it from rusting more.

Next we’ll stop in the dining room. If you remember from my fall home tour, we changed things up a bit by adding this bright coral empire buffet. I’m still in LOVE with this pop of color!
Shop Our Dining Room
Last year I discovered these globe and antler ornaments in the clearance section. They couldn’t be more perfect in this space.
I also moved this chalkboard from the wall so I could change it more easily. It’s a real slate chalkboard, so it can be a little quirky when I try to write in chalk.
This particular chalk art was inspired by a vintage holiday sign that was for sale in a pop up market I saw earlier this season. I adore retro signs and I love changing my chalkboard art with the seasons. Such a simple touch.
Next, we’ll pop on over into the living room. Not much has changed with my tree this year.
Can I let you in on a little secret? The boys weren’t much interested in helping us decorate the tree this year (insert sad face). So, the hubby and I decided we weren’t putting all the ornaments out this year. Call it lazy or seasonal simplicity. Ha!
But I did change up this smaller tree. Last year it was covered in vintage pennants. This year I displayed my Putz houses, camper and truck ornaments. And, that vintage Dr. Pepper soda cooler fits in perfectly, doesn’t it!?
We found these old gas sign numbers a few years ago. They are my favorite!
This coffee table is usually covered in toys, TV remotes and magazines, so keeping the holiday decor in this gold tray keeps things simple and uncluttered.
And one final shot before we leave the living room. Remember the doll house I decorated last year? Well, Corey found me a metal barn to decorate this year! YAY!
Just as we did with the decorated vintage trucks, we added some holiday trimmings to the barn – as if it wasn’t festive enough with its red siding and green roof. So much cuteness.
And that’s it. I love to find ways to dress up my everyday vintage items for the holidays. Real or faux greens, bottle brush trees and lights are just a few of my tricks. But there will always be color and there will always be retro finds – because that’s what makes our space feel like home.
Time to exit the way you came and head on over to Bless’er House next. I promise this furry beast will let you pass. He just loves that spot of afternoon sun.
Now, prepare to be inspired with even more holiday decorated homes on the rest of the Seasonal Simplicity tour. I always find new ideas and inspiration on these tours so be sure to PIN away.

Always enjoy your posts since discovering you at Hob Knob Market in Peoria, IL. Where did you find your Laura Ingalls Wilder Print? Read her books as a child.
Kristy Robb says
Oh thank you! I missed doing Hobnob this year. I love Laura Ingalls Books too so I made this sign!

Bev says
You have some wonderful vintage finds and as much as I love them I feel it can be overwhelming and distracting with so many . Yes you might call me a mInimalist and I do not care for clutter so it is not something I would do! That is just me ! It is your home so if that is your “jam “ than go for it!!!
Kristy Robb says
Thanks Bev! Everyone has their “jam” – ha ha!! ?
