One of my favorite parts of the Christmas season is getting to see how beautiful my parents’ house looks all decorated for Christmas. My Mom spends 5 days putting all of her decorations out, plus a 6th day for decorating the tree. This year when I was at their house helping decorate the tree, I took a bunch of photos of their primitive and Victorian Christmas decor to share here. One day, I hope that my home will also look this nice.
Their Christmas tree is filled with so many wonderful antique and vintage ornaments. I have been adding more decorations to my primitive twig tree at my home too – I will have to post some updated pictures soon. It also now has 5 strands of antique glass bead garlands on it that my Mom pulled out of a box of antique Christmas decorations from my grandparents.
What a gorgeous home they have Stephanie and so beautifully decorated with all sorts of lovely things. My favourite is that lovely white coloured santa with the nice texture, and that amazing Christmas tree. I am very impressed that everything has been decorated already. We haven’t even got our tree down from the loft yet..lol. Thanks for sharing these lovely photos.
Thank you for the kind words Cathy – I will pass them on to my Mom! I love the white Santa too, he is one of Johanna Parker’s designs. My Mom and I have lots of her reproduction collectibles (still hoping to get my hands on an original one day!). I put my tree up the weekend after Thanksgiving – I like to stretch the season out as long as possible. 🙂
simplement très belle décoration, et arbre de Noel je trouve somptueux – Merry Chriestmas to You – oclara
Merci, Oclara! Merry Christmas. 🙂
OOOOHOOOOHOOOH. Love the decorations and that big fat tree. Thanks for sharing! I always love looking at interiors.
Thanks Jenny, I am glad you enjoyed the tour!
Ahhh, looks so warm and inviting…… Thanks for sharing your lovely pics! And I noticed a familiar face in the mix… My vanilla belsnickel looks right at home on that primitive bench…. 🙂 It’s so fun to see my designs enjoying themselves in beautiful homes at holiday time!
Merry Christmas!

Hi Johanna,
I think your Santa looks great in that primitive vignette too! He is such a great design. I have some of your goodies mixed into my Christmas decor as well – see if you recognize anyone on my primitive twig tree. 🙂
Merry Christmas!
Stephanie
Love,love your mom’s home all decorated for xmas! So wonderful that you appreciate what your mom does and willing to show it off to us.! Thanks, so pretty & festive..Homey also.Love the old fashion christmas stuff..Reminds me of home too.
Thank you, Sue. 🙂
Stephanie,
Thank you so much for sharing pictures of your mom’s home at Christmastime, 2008. I especially liked picture #1 with that gold toned cabinet and all her decorations on top of it. Also, those wooden ceiling beams are to die for.
Your mother really has a gift for decorating and therefore, you probably have the same gift, too.
Please keep sharing with us.
Hi Theresa,
Thank you for your kind words! I have some photos of my own home decorated for Christmas up in this post:

– not quite up to my Mom’s level yet, but working on it. 🙂 And I wish that I had her ceiling beams too!
your home has the wonderful primitive look of Christmas, I have just finished my living room with the primitive decor and hope to get my tree up this next week, thank you for wonderful idea’s in how to decorate for the holidays, I hope mine turns out to be as warm and inviting as yours.
Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to you too, Anne – so glad that you found some inspiration here. 🙂 I still have my Halloween decorations up (I like to enjoy them for as long as possible) but next weekend I am also going to start preparing for the switch to Christmas decor.
good….
