christmas with antique farm house

 

🎄Welcome to the English Cottage Christmas event

 with Antique Farmhouse! 

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas here at my home, and with the help of Antique Farm House. I’ve created a very nostalgic and comfy look for my family. 

This is the perfect time to bring those same vintage, cozy vibes into your own home this holiday season.

Let’s create the most memorable Christmas together!

 

There are so many festive pieces featured in this English Cottage Christmas event, that I couldn’t fit them all in my reel.

There’s nothing quite like the wonder of Christmas morning. All the anticipation, excitement and joy! All the feelings you’ve had of Christmases past come rushing back!

 

Sentimental at times, but there is a sense of hope as well.

Nothing can match the sight of your glowing tree at sunrise, the smell of bacon emanating from the kitchen, tiny footsteps coming down the stairs, and the gasps and giggles heard at the sight of all the gifts under the tree…

 

all those dear early morning Christmas memories truly live in my heart!

🎄The inspiration for my tree was the beauty of nature done in a fanciful way. I imagined an enchanted forest where Father Christmas lives in a charming little stone cottage, definitely another time and place! 

I started with a new 6’ Noble fir from King of Christmas and added my own white lights. Owls, nesting birds, deer, little red toadstools, and lots of little pinecones. 

Of course, we have to bring in the sparkle with lots of vintage glass ornaments and baubles! This little tree is finished off with just a touch of old-fashioned tinsel for all the nostalgic reasons I can think of!

What a difference a month makes! Here’s our antique hutch all decked out for Christmas. 

Here’s my festive hot cocoa bar! This look is as simple as setting out some cute mugs, a cozy plaid throw and a fun little electric kettle! 

Add some instant hot chocolate mix, a few marshmallows and maybe a candy cane or two! No need to fuss. Keep it simple, my friends!

 

Here's a fun little plaid table that has all the vibrant holiday colors and textures I love!

So, friends, I’ll see you in my stories soon, where I’ll give you some up close and personal looks at some of my favorite items, and I’ll also be sharing a BONUS tablescape using so many ofthese same Antique Farmhouse pieces set up in a whole new way!

Happy Christmas! ♥️

fall in the dining room

Fall in the dining room is soft and neutral this year. I can’t get enough of these peachy-orange Cinderella pumpkins. The color is so soft and ethereal, and such a great alternative to traditional bright orange pumpkins. 

 

In the background, you can see our antique hutch with some of my favorite white collections displayed on the shelves. I’ll be sharing more of that piece soon, but for now it just makes for a pretty backdrop.   

  

My birthday was on Saturday, and we had a lovely day. We spent the morning exploring Roger’s Gardens and then came home to a lovely breakfast made by my hubby.  

 

Have you ever had Eggs Lorraine? They’re my favorite! It’s basically fluffy scrambled eggs with little bits of bacon and little dollops of cream cheese mixed in... yum! 

 

This GORGEOUS salad bowl was a birthday gift from my sister in law, Debbie. She and I share the same taste on so many things, and I just love this wooden salad bowl with the pewter lilacs. 

Isn’t it darling? It’s made by Vagabond House, whose products I just love! 

This is just a simple spinach salad I whipped up with a few pears, almonds and some feta. 

  

Setting a table this time of year is so much fun... I just gather a few of my favorite things, like simple plates, glasses, placemats, and a few pumpkins and go from there... 

 

And speaking of pumpkins, my friend Jennifer makes these gorgeous succulent-filled pumpkins and sells them locally. This white one is just divine. 

I set in on my new Owl Cheese Stand also by Vagabond House, and they just look like a match made in heaven. 

 

Here’s an overhead look at the cute pumpkins that Jennifer makes. You can message her on Instagram HERE, for more info. 

By the way, I'm just loving the texture of an off-white burlap table runner or tablecloth this season. 

I know I've been showing a lot of fun prints and styles lately, but this look is classic. Here's a similar table runner on Amazon.

 

I hope your week ahead is fabulous.  

 

Looking forward to Halloween 🎃 How about you? 

ciao! fabiana
