Christmas Home Tour 2022

December 24, 2022 by thevettelfarm

I feel like I am living in my own real life Groundhog Day movie feature. This is the third time we have been snowed in this Fall and we have had to cancel lots of plans. I hope sharing my Christmas spaces brings you joy as the country embarks on this nasty snow storm and cold temperatures in the next few days. Christmas Family Room The real centerpiece of the family room this year is the Santa wall. I rounded up all of my vintage Santas and put them along one wall in our family room. I used various cubbies and crocks to showcase them all in a whimsical way! Can you really have too many Santas?  The vintage ones are just so charming! I wanted to keep the fireplace more simple this ...

Vintage Inspired Christmas Trees

November 14, 2021 by thevettelfarm

The magic of Christmas always begins with the Christmas tree. There is something so special and nostalgic about the Christmas trees of the past. They were bursting with color, sparkle and so much class. Aluminum trees remain my favorite of all vintage Christmas trees. They have such a unique shape and when paired with vintage ornaments, the combination is unbeatable. True vintage trees can be tricky to find and very expensive during the holiday months. Thankfully there are so many wonderful vintage inspired options to choose from in stores today. I love to mix vintage and new for a unique look in our Christmas spaces. Here are a few of my favorite vintage inspired Christmas trees this ...

I’ve recently noticed ads for 4-H in magazines and I’ve recently noticed ads for 4-H in magazines and I will tell you I am HERE FOR IT! 🍀 4-H was such an impactful program for me growing up and this collection brings me so much joy because it reminds me of all the wonderful memories I have in 4-H. I added a few key pieces this year that have been so fun, the 4-H dress, this new pennant and the sheep “GLAZE” crate. 🍀🍀

Were you in 4-H? 🍀🍀

This little Easter basket decor piece started as a This little Easter basket decor piece started as a well-loved vintage enamelware bowl, the kind that’s seen decades of kitchens, garden harvests, and family gatherings. Instead of letting it sit tucked away on a shelf, I wanted to turn it into something that feels like spring… soft, nostalgic, and full of charm. 🐇

I layered in faux grass, tucked in a few speckled eggs, added the sweetest vintage bunnies, faux florals, and let the character of that chippy enamel do all the talking. There’s something about the worn edges and tiny imperfections that makes it feel so much more meaningful than anything brand new. It tells a story and now it gets to be part of our Easter story, too. 🐇

I love creating pieces like this because they’re not just decor… they’re conversation starters. They feel gathered, not bought. Thoughtful, not rushed. And the best part? You don’t need anything fancy. Just an old bowl, a little imagination, and a love for keeping beautiful things in use.

Proof that even the simplest vintage piece can become the heart of your spring table! 🌷

Would you style this on a kitchen counter, dining table, or entryway?

I challenge you to use a little vintage this year for your Easter table! 🐇

This vintage cooler was too charming to leave behind, so I brought it home and gave it a new purpose, now it holds faux blooms. A little rust, a lot of history, and a few more chapters to live. 

Right? 🫣🫣🫣
