Vintage Winter Bedroom

A simple, cozy bedroom decorated for Christmas with a "vintage winter wonderland" theme

Now that we’ve enjoyed Thanksgiving, I feel like it’s time to fully deck the halls for Christmas, and I’m beyond excited… squealing-like-a-little-girl excited… for the space I’m about to show you today. My bedroom is arguably my favorite room in the entire house because once we designed and decorated it the first time, I’ve honestly changed very little in here, if anything at all. It was just one of those rooms that felt right from the very beginning, and I’ve had so much fun decorating it for the holidays every year. I don’t care if you’re 10 years old or 30, having Christmas lights glowing in your bedroom as you fall asleep is purely magical, and I’m pretty sure this tiny tree always ends up being my favorite even above our main big tree in the living room. I think it’s something about the combination of the sloped attic walls and white shiplap paired with Christmas greenery and lights that just feels so cozy and charming… I could stay in here forever!

This year I’ve been especially anxious to decorate this room for Christmas for one very good reason. Do you remember the mantel that was briefly in our entryway and then the dining room? Guess where I found the perfect, little corner to put it…

Does the mantel not make this room even more dreamy and romantic? It took some tinkering and a few modifications to make it fit in here, but I am SO happy I thought to try this big piece in my room and could not wait to get some pretty greenery on it for the holidays.

As usual, I wasn’t sure what direction I was going to go in when I started decorating up here, but as I started pulling out some of my favorite vintage and antique finds like the pair of white ice skates under the tree and the old framed portrait hanging above the mantel, I decided a vintage winter theme would be fun for this year. Similar to the tree in the living room, I kept this tree very minimal with basic white bulbs, a cozy yarn garland, and a few white plastic snowflakes I got from the dollar store a few years ago tucked in between the branches. In past years, I’ve stuffed this tree with as many ornaments, picks, and garlands as I could find room for, which turned out to be some of my favorite trees and probably the most popular among you guys too! But this year I’ve loved the calming, cozy simplicity and less-is-more approach to our Christmas decor, and this little tree in my room turned out super sweet without a ton of fuss.

Normally this tree is tucked in the corner where the mantel now sits, so it was fun to change things up and have the tree sitting right at the foot of my bed. I had some large vintage snowflake ornaments that I didn’t end up using on any of the trees this year, but as I was playing around with the vintage winter theme I thought it might be pretty to hang them on the mantel. This might be one of my favorite parts of the whole room! I hung the snowflakes on the garland so there was no need to put any holes or hooks on the mantel, and I love that the snowflakes don’t cover up any of the pretty details along the top of the mantel. I had always envisioned I would fill the mantel with cozy, soft stockings, but these simple snowflakes felt perfect this year. The oval frame on the portrait matched the snowflakes perfectly, so I hung that centered above the mantel. Again, I had envisioned decorating this area with tons of candles or ornaments, but the simplicity of the portrait and a few snowflakes won me over. Sigh… I could just stare at this forever.

A few notes and tips about little details in the room…

All our real gifts that we’re giving to people for Christmas go underneath the living room tree, so to fill and decorate the space under this tree, I keep a stack of plain white gift boxes that I bought years ago at Hobby Lobby and re-use year after year. Sometimes I wrap them in a pretty wrapping paper, but that just seemed a little wasteful this year, so I tied a few boxes with twine, wrapped a pinecone and spring of greenery in the bow, and called it good. When Christmas is over, I re-flatten the boxes and store them until next year.

The garland on my mantel came with a few pinecones, but I added a few more to bulk it up a bit. You can find some really pretty, fairly inexpensive garlands just about anywhere now (I believe this one was from Hobby Lobby) and add faux floral picks, branches of fresh greenery, pinecones, lights or ornaments to beef them up and make them look even fancier.

Speaking of pinecones, I have a huge bag of them that my family collected years and years ago when I was a child on our family vacations up in Wisconsin. My mom kept them and gave them to me, and it’s such a small, simple reminder of those memories that I look back on now and smile, especially after my father passed away this February. It’s those little touches that keep family close to our hearts long after they are gone and make this little farmhouse feel like the most special home in the world.

On our living room tree I used this knit garland that I absolutely love, but I found a chunky yarn at Hobby Lobby that has the same look only smaller, and a lot more bang for your buck. I like the look of the knit garland better, but for this miniature tree, the mini yarn “garland” worked out beautifully.

    Absolutely LOVE! Random question about your bed….is the color a very dark almost blackish bronze? I’ve been trying to find one that I like but I tend to lean towards black instead of browns.

      The bed technically is a very dark brown, but I would say it looks more black than brown! It may also depend on the lighting in your room!

    That well decorated Christmas tree near the bed is indeed showing some good comforting looks to the room. Great designing, your room looks beautiful now! 🙂

Did you know that I started blogging almost 9 year Did you know that I started blogging almost 9 years ago? It’s crazy to think I started building this little brand of mine almost a decade ago, but in 2017 I began wanting to share more than just online inspiration and reach people in a more personal way. 

That summer I opened a small retail shop in my favorite antique store in my home state of Indiana and filled it with items that I love and decorate my own home with.  Opening this little shop has been a natural extension of what I create on my blog and in my home and allows people to find my favorite things and decorating ideas all in one place.

My hope is that one day I can offer online shopping & ship items to your door all over the country, but for now if you are ever in the Midwest, I would love for you to come visit this beautiful historic building and browse the many items I handpicked for your home.

We are open Monday-Saturday 10-5 pm & Sunday 12-5 pm inside @originaltreasuremart at 1201 E. Vaile Avenue in Kokomo, IN. You can call (765) 459-3148 for more information. 

I’d love to hear from you... have you visited @lovegrowswildmarket before, and what was your favorite purchase? Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting small businesses like mine. 🤍
We made it to Friday, friend 🙌🏻 I’m curio We made it to Friday, friend 🙌🏻

I’m curious... what’s your big cleaning/catch up day around the house? The day when you typically catch up on dishes and all those piles of laundry, grocery shop, etc? I like to get up on Saturday mornings and get it done so I can enjoy a clean house for the rest of the weekend because honestly... I literally CANNOT relax when the house is a mess. I physically can’t do it. What’s your cleaning day of the week and why? 🧼🧹

Who wants to go shopping with me?! Well, virtuall Who wants to go shopping with me?!

Well, virtually... but I promise it will still be fun! I took a trip to a store I've never been to before and found some of the prettiest decor for such a good deal at @tuesdaymorning. #ad After all the snow we've had the last few weeks, getting out of the house and putting real clothes on for a solo shopping trip felt like such a treat!

A few of my favorite finds were: an extra-long lumbar pillow for my sofa, beautiful black textured bowls that I can't decide if I want to actually use in my kitchen or decorate with, a bouquet of dried greenery, and a new dog bed for Remington. I will be sharing how I styled these items on the blog next week, so stay tuned!

Swipe to see video of my shopping trip and all that you can find at a Tuesday Morning near you! Do you have a store close to you? Have you been before? Let me know in the comments!

Yesterday I had a design meeting with one of my to Yesterday I had a design meeting with one of my toughest clients yet... my teenage son. 😂 Actually, he is probably the easiest person to please, and his requests for the upcoming bedroom makeover we are planning were pretty simple:

• blackout curtains so he can sleep in on weekends
• a new darker paint color
• somewhere to charge all his devices

I think I can handle that! This room is quite a challenge with the small size & layout, but I think we’ve come up with a game plan to make it more functional and much more “him”. 

Once I catch up on all my current projects and design work, I’m excited to dive into making this space perfect for him! P.S. where did my little boy go that wanted Thomas the Train as the theme in his bedroom? 🥺
