Christmas All Through the House

By Anita 66 Comments

I’ve shown you several Christmas posts so far this year. We’ve decorated the living room, the kitchen, the dining room, and the porch, but there are a few rooms I didn’t get to.

I wanted to show you how I decorated those rooms that are often left out of the Christmas fun.

Let’s start with my bathroom.  I have a tree in my dining room, 2 in my living room, so why not one in the bathroom?

You know those special ornaments you have that get lost on your big tree?

The vintage ones handed down from family?

That’s what I put on this tree. I think they really show up very well, don’t you?

Then I put a few little ornaments in some Limoges cups and put them in my closet. Yes, I’m aware that sounds odd. But I think it looks really pretty.

These are also vintage and inherited. They really are my favorites. In case you are wondering, I bought the Limoge teacups for my shop, but I’m still not sure I’m ready to part with them. Just look at that detail!

I added a few more details to my bedroom also. Lots of white bottle brush trees and a little cown add just the right touch.

I’m all for no pressure decorating. If you love decorating for Christmas, go for it. If not, then take it easy and don’t. I did a lot more this year than I normally do. Next year, who knows.

Just remember there are lots of little places you can add details if the mood strikes.

    I try to do a little something in every room at Christmas, it makes me happy to move through the house and see it as I go. I love your vintage ornaments, it’s a time for family and what nice reminders of family from the past!

    The small fuschia tree is fabulous! I hang fresh wreaths in my bathroom, my daughter’s room, and my dining room, with 2 small decorated artificial trees atop my kitchen cabinets, but they’re ALL green. You’ve shown me the way to some special sparkle, and I’m off to find a festive small tree to add to the mix. And the fuschia color offers a “bumped-up” reminder that we have once more come through Advent into Joy!

    The teacups are beautiful! I can see why you want to keep them. How lovely to have vintage ornaments that were in your family, I wanted vintage ornaments and had to resort to Ebay to buy them. LOL.

    I like your ideas…a few pretty ornaments and a bit of greenery makes a sweet holiday statement. The pretty Limoge cups with the little ornaments would be lovely on top of a stack of books in the library or home office. Guest power rooms are another great space to remember when decorating for the holidays. It’s such a nice touch when friends come to visit. If there’s room near the bathtub, that’s another great place to put a winter-flowering plant and attach a pretty holiday ribbon. I’ve collected so much stuff over the years so I rotake what I unpack and move things around from year to year. This year I did not unpack my little ceramic village houses, instead I decided to display the paper mache houses I’ve painted, flocked, glittered into a little snow village on the hall table.

    Anita, I really like that you decorate every room at Christmas. I started to the same thing when I was in my teens; got the idea from my Nana, who decorated anything that stood or sat still…lol. The first Christmas my husband and I were married I decorated a small cedar tree with seashells that we had collected from a nearby beach. He, of course, thought I had lost my mind, but when he went into the bathroom and found it decorated as well, he was sure I had gone crazy.

    Forty-two years later, he has adjusted to my decorating in every room. He still teases me about it and it’s a bit of a joke with our friends that they shouldn’t sit or stand in one place too long.

    Thanks as always for a lovely post. Hope you and your family with have a wonderful, blessed Christmas.

    So pretty and whimsical! Those stacked teacups are beautiful and sweet! Thank you for the idea! I have another hutch that is just not all together but I want to photograph my entry for my blog and am struggling terribly with getting those shelves styled. My main issue is not having quite enough to fill it up in matching sort of way. But I do have some pretty teacups in there and might be able to pull it together by using matching ornaments instead of things.

    Your holiday home is lovely and charming.

    I just spotted the vintage French-inspired Santos crown on the lower part of your side table – because I also purchased it from DecorSteals, but you styled it so pretty with it sitting on top of two books and next to some bottle-crush trees. I’m going to copy your look right now. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Just love all the little surprise Christmas elements you have tucked around. That is something I do more of and it is a lot easier than putting up a tree and all the decorations for just two retired people with all the children in other states. It is so cheerful and just enough for the two of us.

    I love your Christmas throughout the house. I’ve done a lot more this year too, although I didn’t bring out everything. Some of my family doesn’t appreciate my enthusiasm and I’ve actually had people laugh and make fun of me. I once had a deep rose colored bathroom which I trimmed up with red and white toile. I ended up finding an old fashioned Santa done up in the same fabric. I used to put him on an old three draw chest next to a pitcher and bowl. So, if you have a double dose of Christmas spirit this year, embrace it!
