Today I’m opening my door to give you a tour of my home at Christmas. I’m not big on traditional Christmas color schemes, so get ready a heavy dose of pink and gold!
Upon entering we do have a rather large and traditional tree in our front window, filled with family and vintage ornaments.
Yay, me! I’ve even gotten a fair amount of presents already wrapped and under the tree! 
This is my living room and fireplace mantel:
I love this pink floral arrangement I found a TJ Maxx a few years back.
I’ve been collecting vintage deer for years and love to display some of them on my mantel.
They also seem to find their way to other vignettes about the house. 🙂
I even have a large reindeer that my mom bought from a store display when a hardware store closed in the 1980’s. Do things from the 80’s count as vintage now???
I really love pastels paired with vintage gold.
I love to use large vintage mirrors to reflect other pretty parts of a room.
Here’s my pink tree, of course! I’ve only had this one a couple of years – found it at Big Lots.
I found about 10 of these pink bird ornaments while antiqueing with a friend last week!
This is my dining room this Christmas. In the past, I have set the table with the Christmas Lenox my uncle has given to me over the years. This year, my table has a simple forest vignette and the Lenox Christmas plates are stacked there informally.
This is small vintage tree I’ve had for some time. I found the vintage gift boxes for a song at an estate sale years back.
Here’s the back corner of the room with a winter vignette in turquoise, green, and gold.
I love using mica snowflakes to create a wintery scene like this one!
And of course, I have to include a stack or two of vintage books!
I have several old winter landscapes I prop here and there at this time of year.
I hope you enjoyed the tour! I have one other special Christmas “decoration” that I created, but I am saving that to show you later this week. Stay tuned!
I love using off colors too for christmas cheer in my palace. love aqua and pinks and silvers…the golds look nice too. I put a set of 4 tiny plastic old reindeer in my etsy if you are interested. they could live in your reindeer park!
I will definitely have to check out those reindeer of yours, Amy!!!
Looks lovely!
please tell me i used “mantel” correctly . . .
Almost 🙂 in uk we would say on my mantel piece
Beautiful rooms, thanks for sharing that!
What a lovely home. Thankyou for the tour 🙂 I hope you have a very Merry festive season.
What a gorgeous Christmas display! Love the vintage look indeed. And I just love that winter vignette with that absolutely amazing portrait.
Stopping by from Mod Mix Monday. Merry Christmas!

Glad Tidings
thank you, heather! so glad to have you here 🙂
How refreshing! Your home is so pretty!! Your trees are all beautiful and I love your reindeer collection.
Your Holiday Home is stunning! I love the colours you have chosen to use-the whole house looks so festive and cheerful!
Best Christmas wishes,
Natasha.
YOur home is beautiful, I love that pretty blue color on your walls!! I love the pastels and the pink tree is just adorable!!! I’m visiting from The Inspired Room, and I will be back!!
Candy for the eye that pretty in pink tree…
Lovely heart warming images and spirit of Christmas, xo
I LOVE your house — and the pink tree is my favorite! 🙂
That is one big tree! NICE> Love all the wonderful colors you have used in your home. The fireplace area is so inviting.
thanks, kim. the tree is 9 feet tall – it’s a nice, wide one. unfortunately, all the pre-lit lights no longer work so we have to string lights on top of those every year. we keep meaning to get a new one, but i can’t seem to find a big, fat one as nice as this one for a reasonable price!
p.s., we can’t have a real tree due to our kids’ allergies. bummer 🙁
I love your Christmas decor!
So unexpected and SOFT!!I have those same vintage deer that you have, the white ones. You can see mine here, mine are not white.

Bonnie,
I just went to your blog and I LOVE your buffet table and the deer! What is your wall color? It’s so pretty 🙂
So beautiful Kristie. I love the unconventional colors & all the vintage touches {especially the pink tree}. I noticed the Christmas balls hanging from the chandelier. So pretty! Merry Christmas!
Warmly, Michelle
This is breathtaking.
Everything look so beautiful and there are so many details. Just perfect!
What a delightful magic glimpse into your home. I love the whimsy of reindeer and pink trees. The mica snow covering books and treasures. Truly festive and charming!

You have such a lovely home and a fantastic collection of deers. Enjoyed touring your home.
Love the vintage touches that you have. I collect vintage Christmas and loved how you used the vintage pieces to highlight their beauty.
Wow…is all that comes to mind. Everything looks so beautiful. thanks so much for sharing!
Blessings

Your home is beautiful! I love your color scheme (especially that hot pink tree)! Thanks for the inspiration!
Love all that turquoise and teal.
This is divine…I love that you utilized non-traditional colors! Everything in your house flows soooo well…..such a cohesive look…..I adore that turquoise/green/gold vignette!!!
I’m new to your blog….what is the era of your home? It’s got such gorgeous character and looks historic….or you had a VERY good builder!
😉
Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays/Hugs,
Lana
Thank you so much, Lana. My house was built in 1939 – it is a stone cape cod farmhouse with some Tudor influences. It was built from stone quarried from the property by Joseph Vietti, founder of Vietti Chili (a Nashville-based meat company).
I picked your holiday decor as a favorite on Mod Mix Monday!
thank you so much, nita! i think you and are kindred spirits 🙂
gorgeous! i love those ruffled curtains i spied, too!
Your house is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! I love all of it. I can see that it is an old house, that has lovingly been decorated to look very beautiful.
Hugs, Cindy
So enjoyed seeing your lovely home all decorated for the holidays! The aqua and pink tree is such a fun piece! Loved the turquoise cabinet in your living room too 🙂 We have just one tree now… when we moved overseas a few years ago I had to downsize and got rid of 3/4 of my Christmas decorations 🙁 But I’m hoping to start adding to it again, once we get settled in a place of our own (building this coming year). I have my eye on a white tree at a local store 🙂 I’m getting lots of inspiration from seeing everyone’s homes this year!
It’s so much fun to see others’ decorating styles. I am totally traditional and go for the larger, bolder, high-impact pieces all day long over the small, delicate, vintage things that you use, but your look is absolutely beautiful and so well done! I love your soft colors and whimsical charm, but, I must admit, just the thought of putting all that stuff up and taking it down wears me out. Beautiful job, Kristie!
haha patsy, it DID wear me out! happy new year to you, dear!
