I am finally getting around to trying to show photos of my house in one post to give you an idea of the whole picture. Please take the tour and I hope it inspires your decorating ideas for Christmas. Though I am most in favor of Remembering the meaning of the Season! So enjoy yourself but do not add stress to your life and family by decorating anxieties! These are images from Christmases past at my house. ( Some of the photos are not as good as my new photos.)
So let’s start with the dining room. The dining room used to be the family room and the office until it was combined as one room with the taking down of a wall.
Here is the bay window at one end of the dining room during a snowstorm.

This little tree usually goes up by Thanksgiving.
Here is the Christmas village when I put it in the big bay window window seat in the dining room.

Here is Christmas from last year at Vintage American Home.
This is my best nativity set.
A Santa claus display. in the powder room
Wreaths inside and out in the living room.
So yes I am a little crazy but I put wreaths on the insides of the living room windows opposite the outdoor windows. Now I used the suction cups
My skinny tree with red accents.
Here is another view of the living room. The buffet holds my collection of vintage Italian triptychs of the holy family.
Another version of a Williamsburg apple cone.
Company is coming.
Here is the kitchen table ready for a party. Hence the chairs are in another room. This is before I painted the kitchen blue with off white trim.
Wreaths on my inside windows.
These little red berry wreath candle sleeves
Overloaded Frazier fir.
This is the family room tree.
Some of my nativities in the corner cabinet with British Castles in the background.
This corner cabinet is in the family room. I open up the doors and put my nativities right in with the dishes. Often, I add greens as well.
Some old some new.
I add my largest nativity village which I have had for many years and which used to be around my grand
parent’s tree. The village was started by my grandfather for his oldest son about 100 years ago!
Newer additions.

Decorating at vintage American Home
Your home is absolutely stunning!! Could you please tell me about your large black chandelier over your dining room table? I inherited the exact same one and have been searching for years to find any information about it!! Do you know the maker? Any bit of info would be so appreciated!!
HI Robin, that chandelier was one of my special purchases atleast 14 years ago. It was called Lieutenant Moses Willard. I don’t think they are sold anymore (It was made in America)> I hope that helps.
Thank you sooo much!!!! I’ve been searching for ever! I’m very grateful:)
The chandelier was made in Milford, Ohio.
We are going to see and possibly purchase a reproduction Wythe House. It has been on the market a long time considering this market is so strong. The bathrooms need over hauls but all the kitchen needs is new appliances and countertops. I can’t understand why it has been on the market for 272 days. it really looks like a “good bones house”. It was built in 1965 and is on the golf course where a major tournament is held. All the houses in the neighborhood are more expensive.
HI Gail, that sounds fantastci!
