For mom and I, we decided to go antique shopping and found an amazing vintage sleigh at one of our favorite spots <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmhouseliving.com\/blog\/best-place-to-buy-vintage-doors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Antiques &amp; Vintage in Forney, Texas<\/strong><\/a>.

We start by adding fall in October using things like autumn picks, pumpkins, and pine cones. We like to use white birch wood to give that cozy vibe. Other items, like deer horns and lots evergreen are easily accessible and fun to use throughout the season. As Christmas approaches, we add trees, trees, and more trees. A room doesn\u2019t say Christmas to me without a pine tree. The flocked tree in the dining room is so beautiful we don\u2019t even decorate it.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ChristmasHomeTour2021-03.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1087\" srcset=\"https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ChristmasHomeTour2021-03.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ChristmasHomeTour2021-03-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ChristmasHomeTour2021-03-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ChristmasHomeTour2021-03-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ChristmasHomeTour2021-09.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1088\" srcset=\"https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ChristmasHomeTour2021-09.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ChristmasHomeTour2021-09-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ChristmasHomeTour2021-09-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ChristmasHomeTour2021-09-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"667\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ChristmasHomeTour2021-21.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1089\" srcset=\"https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ChristmasHomeTour2021-21.jpg 667w, https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ChristmasHomeTour2021-21-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ChristmasHomeTour2021-21-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h5 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">DECORATING WITH VINTAGE FINDS<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Our friend Michele from Vintage Home is the best at incorporating unique and charming vintage finds. She uses so many unexpected pieces. Her tree is the perfect example, filled with vintage ornaments, cards, and dried florals like cotton stems that add fun and whimsey to the top! And every year there\u2019s something new to see. A cloche filled with vintage caroler figurines, a collection of old plates on the wall in the shape of a tree, everywhere you look you\u2019re inspired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Our friend Shannon of My Little White Barn is also great at decorating with the most unique vintage finds. There are nutcrackers and vintage green transferware galore! Do you have an old suitcase laying around, just add it to your display? She always uses vintage jars to display food and it\u2019s not just for show, Shannon always has something yummy to share!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">We have picked up a love for using vintage pieces. The vintage snow shoes we found make an awesome display. Our newest find is an old sleigh from Holland. We knew we wanted to use it in the dining room but weren\u2019t sure where. When we brought out the tree we immediately knew the sleigh would make the perfect tree stand!! Using vintage finds makes everything more fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/VintageHomeChristmasHomeTour-14.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1090\" srcset=\"https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/VintageHomeChristmasHomeTour-14.jpg 750w, https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/VintageHomeChristmasHomeTour-14-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/VintageHomeChristmasHomeTour-14-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/VintageHomeChristmasHomeTour-06.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1091\" srcset=\"https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/VintageHomeChristmasHomeTour-06.jpg 750w, https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/VintageHomeChristmasHomeTour-06-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/VintageHomeChristmasHomeTour-06-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/VintageHomeChristmasHomeTour-17.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1092\" srcset=\"https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/VintageHomeChristmasHomeTour-17.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/VintageHomeChristmasHomeTour-17-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/VintageHomeChristmasHomeTour-17-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/VintageHomeChristmasHomeTour-17-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/VintageHomeChristmasHomeTour-18.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1093\" srcset=\"https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/VintageHomeChristmasHomeTour-18.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/VintageHomeChristmasHomeTour-18-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/VintageHomeChristmasHomeTour-18-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/VintageHomeChristmasHomeTour-18-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h5 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">DECORATING UNEXPECTED PLACES<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">We are the home tour girls and our favorite time for home tours is always Christmas. We love the creative ways people decorate. We get so many great ideas! And every year we\u2019re amazed by the unexpected places people decorate. Every nook and corner of these homes has a little Christmas, like laundry rooms, and little powder baths.&nbsp; But outside porches and patios are so inviting filled with Christmas and welcoming you into the home. The possibilities are endless. We\u2019ve seen fully decorated trees, dining tables set with Christmasware, full-size Santa Claus, sleds, and reindeer!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/FrenchCountry-RockwallHolidayHomeTour-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1094\" srcset=\"https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/FrenchCountry-RockwallHolidayHomeTour-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/FrenchCountry-RockwallHolidayHomeTour-1-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/FrenchCountry-RockwallHolidayHomeTour-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/FrenchCountry-RockwallHolidayHomeTour-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/FrenchCountry-RockwallHolidayHomeTour-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1095\" srcset=\"https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/FrenchCountry-RockwallHolidayHomeTour-7.jpg 750w, https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/FrenchCountry-RockwallHolidayHomeTour-7-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/FrenchCountry-RockwallHolidayHomeTour-7-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/FrenchCountry-RockwallHolidayHomeTour-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1096\" srcset=\"https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/FrenchCountry-RockwallHolidayHomeTour-9.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/FrenchCountry-RockwallHolidayHomeTour-9-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/FrenchCountry-RockwallHolidayHomeTour-9-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/FrenchCountry-RockwallHolidayHomeTour-9-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ChristmasPatio2021-03.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1097\" srcset=\"https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ChristmasPatio2021-03.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ChristmasPatio2021-03-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ChristmasPatio2021-03-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ChristmasPatio2021-03-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ChristmasPatio2021-15.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1098\" srcset=\"https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ChristmasPatio2021-15.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ChristmasPatio2021-15-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ChristmasPatio2021-15-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ChristmasPatio2021-15-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ChristmasPatio2021-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1099\" srcset=\"https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ChristmasPatio2021-10.jpg 750w, https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ChristmasPatio2021-10-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/farmhouseliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ChristmasPatio2021-10-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h5 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">DECORATING FOR THE HOLIDAYS WITH KIDS IN MIND<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">What is Christmas if not for the little ones!
