I’ve not really shared the dining room that we completed as part of our house renovations, so what a great time to share this room, when it is filled with Christmas decor! The feel of this room overall is more rustic than the living room, so I wanted to keep that feel in my Christmas decor, and create a rustic vintage style in the dining room- with lights, lots of lights!
Every single piece of Christmas decor (except the lights) in this room, has been thrifted at the charity or vintage store, even my table is a second hand find, but thats for a different post! The Joyeux Noel is a sign I created by making my own stencil on my cameo, and I just love how big it is, it fills the space and adds height which is something I like to do when displaying my decor.
I’m always looking for these old kinds of ceramic Santas at the charity shop, and they’re often left on the shelf and overlooked, I think many people view them as old tat!, but they make me think of old victorian Christmas cards, and mixed with the more natural and primitive Christmas decor, they look beautiful on display.

I bought this green metal tool box in the summer, I wasn’t quite sure what I would use it for, but I knew I needed it! And of course being green meant it went straight into the Christmas stash!
All the lights you see are one string of 400 lights, these are the premiere vintage gold supabright lights. I started on the tree at the left, and worked my way round all of my decor, going up and across the mantle to the other alcove, I then came back across the bottom and through the fireplace, and then back up and onto the mantle again for extra sparkle!
This beautiful 1930’s Christmas tree made from natural twig, is standing in a victorian german Christmas stand. I picked this up from an antique store for only £5, we actually didn’t know what it was, and neither did the owner, we just knew that it rotated and played “Silent night” and thought we could do something with it. Once I got it home and looked it up online, I realised what it was, and also learnt the huge value of this stand, I was absolutely thrilled, and so excited to not just have a vintage Christmas pieces, but to have an antique Christmas piece, over 120 years old!
Of course my welsh dresser became my vintage Christmas shrine!
I hope you enjoyed looking at my dining room Christmas decor and it gave you lots of inspiration! Let me know what you think.
Much love
