Creative Ways to Dress up Your Christmas Home Decor With Holiday Ornaments

There is so much more you can do with your ornaments other than hanging them from your tree. Let me show you how to dress up your favorite holiday ornaments during the Christmas season.

Christmas ornaments are my thing.

I’m always drawn to them no matter what the style or age… vintage, new, rustic, plaid. I LOVE THEM ALL!

I can’t tell you how many ornaments I’ve packed away over the years.

Switching up my Christmas tree themes every year means that I’m not always able to hang all the ornaments I own from my trees.

But there are other ways to display them.

    Thanks sharing your adorable home! I’m also an ornament junkie and love to display them in various vintage containers around the house. I bought my first reproduction dough bowl recently and looking forward to styling it for Christmas, either on my dining room table or raised bar area. As I get older, I’m wanting to keep Christmas decorating simple because it’s so much work to get it out and put it away. These ideas are so simple, easy, and pretty! Merry Christmas!🎄

      Thank you so much for visiting Vicki. I agree with you, it is so much easier to fill a dough bowl or vintage container. I’m all about simple these days.
