How to Decorate Your House for Christmas with Vintage Flair
When you first walk into this home, your eye is drawn to the living room Christmas tree. It was certainly my first stop on this Christmas home tour.
When I see home tours by bloggers who I know have children, it baffles me that they often display a tree full of perfectly coordinating ornaments. Either that picture-perfect tree comes down after the photos are taken and the real tree with all the kid’s ornaments goes up, or they leave it up and don’t display those types of sentimental ornaments at all.
Deanna has incorporated both glass, vintage-style ornaments alongside photo and artwork ornaments from her children and grandchildren without loosing that vintage feel. I think this is a beautiful, hybrid look for those of use who have small children or grandchildren.
