Mixing Vintage and Classic Christmas Decor for a Timeless Look

Marrying Old & New for a Cozy Christmas Vignette

One of my favorite things about decorating is the art of blending old and new pieces to create a space that feels timeless, cozy, and full of character. This Christmas, our mudroom is home to the happiest little vignette that perfectly showcases this balance. Anchored by a stunning vintage-inspired Christmas tree lot sign from Weathered White Barn, the space is layered with antiques, vintage treasures, and a few new finds to pull it all together.

The sign’s weathered details and nostalgic charm make it the perfect focal point, tying the whole vignette together with that vintage Christmas warmth I adore. And while the sign steals the show, it pairs beautifully with the vintage-inspired stockings from The Found Cottage. Their classic details feel like they’ve been passed down through generations, even though they’re brand new.

To add a whimsical touch, I layered in my Santa Banner from my Cozy Cottage Christmas collection at QVC. It’s such a fun way to bring a little vintage charm into your decor, and it makes me smile every time I see it. And let’s talk about these sweet Terrain moss ball mini trees. I absolutely love how realistic and charming they are—perfect for adding a little greenery to any vignette. They tend to sell out quickly, but Terrain always has some of the most beautiful holiday items.

The rest of the space is styled with a mix of vintage and antique treasures, from weathered baskets to timeworn furniture pieces. The combination of these old and new elements creates a look that feels collected, curated, and oh-so-cozy. It’s a reminder that incorporating vintage-inspired pieces like the sign or stockings can help you bridge the gap between past and present, making your home feel both timeless and fresh. To complete this cozy Christmas vignette, we layered in some vintage quilts that bring warmth and texture to the space, draped effortlessly across a stunning antique bench that serves as the perfect foundation. I love the bookend wood bucket box—barely holding itself together—which adds even more character as the base for a faux tree. Thrifted treasures like a vintage tree stand and a beautifully aged red-and-white box add the perfect festive touches, proving that a mix of worn, loved, and curated pieces can create a truly magical holiday scene.
