Merry Grinchmas Bedroom 2022

November 27, 2022 by thevettelfarm

Do you remember the girls' Grinch bedroom from last year? We had so much fun with it last year, that we decided to recreate the look in the nursery for this year! We found the most adorable Grinch blow mold at Walmart and we had to have another fun Grinchy bedroom! I can still remember watching the Grinch on cable television every Christmas and how excited I was to read the story in school too! It is such a colorful story with a wonderful meaning. One of my favorite additions to the bedroom this year was a sign that reads, "“Maybe Christmas he thought doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas perhaps means a little bit more.” Click any of the photos below to shop some of the ...

Colorful Vintage Inspired Christmas Decor

November 11, 2022 by thevettelfarm

This year I am bringing in ALL the colors to my vintage Christmas decor! Typically I am a traditional red and green gal, but my King of Christmas pink flocked tree has convinced me that color is everything this year! Think bright, colorful Shiny Brites, Christmas trees in every color, and the most adorable Putz houses in every shade of the rainbow! I have rounded up a few of the amazing vintage inspired finds that are inspiring me for my colorful, holiday decor this year! And if you are in the market for a new Christmas tree, this pink Christmas tree is so, so good. It is a marvelous shade of pink and the flocking makes it look so vintage. I can not wait to outfit it in some dazzling ...

Tips for Christmas Decor Storage

December 29, 2021 by thevettelfarm

When you are on the verge of "hoarder" status in regards to Christmas decorations, organization is powerful. Each year putting up my Christmas decor is a small part time job and putting it away is no different. But, when your decor is organized it can make the process so much easier! Most of my Christmas decor is also vintage, so packing it away safely is also an important concern each year. Here are a few of my tips that I use to keep our Christmas decor organized and safe. 1. Clear Totes These clear totes by Sterilite are my absolute favorite. I love the red and green ones for the holidays but any color will do. The fact that they are clear enables me the ability to easily see what ...

Grinch Kid’s Christmas Bedroom

December 16, 2021 by thevettelfarm

“Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before! What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas... perhaps... means a little bit more!” This still remains my favorite quote from The Grinch Who Stole Christmas! The Grinch remains one of our favorite Christmas characters not only from the classic book, but the fun movies that have followed. This year for Christmas the big girls decided that they wanted to transform their room into Who-Ville and I was up for the challenge! Grinch Gallery Wall  My favorite part of this magical Grinch room is the gallery wall that highlights the real centerpiece of the Grinch, the original book by Dr. Seuss. This hard ...

Three Things Thursday

July 29, 2021 by thevettelfarm

I can't believe another week has flown by! It seems as this entire summer is just flashing before my eyes! It probably doesn't help that I am planning for Fall and Christmas at the moment. Magazines and books are my favorite sources of inspiration for the holidays. I love looking at a photo and then pulling new concepts into the design elements to create something new. My favorite source currently leads me to my #1 this week! 1. Country Living Christmas Books - Country Living magazine has a great suite of books all centered on Christmas.

Two pieces of American history… one frame. 🇺🇸 A v Two pieces of American history… one frame. 🇺🇸

A vintage flag that once flew proudly and sheet music that once filled a room with song, layered together to tell a story of home, heritage, and the generations that came before us.

I love finding new ways to preserve old treasures, especially when they carry so much history. I found this fantastic flag at the thrift!  What’s your favorite piece of Americana you’ve collected?
