A Very Vintage Inspired Christmas Cottage Bedroom Tour

Do you decorate your bedroom for the holiday season? It’s one of my favorite rooms to decorate this time of year. Today I’m taking you on a tour of my vintage-inspired bedroom for Christmas.

I’ve already shared my living room and kitchen Christmas home tour. And today I’m showing you my vintage-inspired bedroom. But first, let me share some fun facts about this room…

Where Should I Shop For Vintage Items?

You don’t have to spend a lot of money on antique and vintage Christmas decor for your bedroom. Here are some of my favorite ways to shop for thrifted finds.

Very Vintage Christmas Bedroom Tour

Let’s start with my favorite vintage decor piece in the bedroom. This antique cabinet wasn’t always built into the wall.

When we first moved in, we were greeted by a stand-alone dark wood cabinet. We didn’t have much room in the house to display it, but when we were remodeling, we could build it into the wall and use it as a dresser.

You can see more about making this beautiful antique piece our own in my blog post.

This Year’s Chrismas Color Scheme

I chose to keep the blue and white in my bedroom since summer.

There are no Christmas colors in this room. But I don’t think that matters these days. I love the whites, creams, grays, and roses that go so well with the light blue walls.

Garland and Twinkle Lights Keep it Simple

I try to keep Christmas decorating in our cottage-style bedroom very simple, especially since we spend little time there.

Bay leaf garland and twinkle lights frame the window throughout the Christmas season.

A Very Vintage Nightstand

As you have probably already guessed, my small bedroom can’t fit much furniture. But I could fit this cute little vintage nightstand I found at an antique shop in the corner.

The nightstand is one of my favorite unique items because it has so much character. Do you see the difference in space from the outside edge to the drawer between the left and right sides?

Here’s one of the many mercury glass pieces in my bedroom.

I have a serious thing for vintage alarm clocks. The problem is that I don’t find many in good condition; if they are, the price is sky-high.

Vintage books are such a great decor idea no matter the season and one of my favorite things to add to vignettes.

Another Built-In Created for Additional Space

Did I happen to mention that old houses have very little storage space? We’re always looking for creative ways to find storage solutions.

To remedy the situation, we created another built-in on the other side of the room since we have no room for a true dresser. The space we used was the original closet. Adding the beadboard made the cabinet look a bit older.

The Coastal Christmas Tree

Don’t you get so inspired when you flip through a magazine or see a bedroom on a blog tour with one of those full floor-to-ceiling Christmas trees all decked out with the most beautiful decorations?

Me too!

Unfortunately, I can’t fit one of those in our cottage bedroom but I can bring in a sweet little tree instead.

I thought I would try my hand at a coastal-themed Christmas tree in the space this season, you know, because I live at the beach. But watch out for next year when I hope to create a tree with all vintage Christmas ornaments for our bedroom.

The Christmas tree is placed in a vintage galvanized bucket, and the beveled mirror behind it was bought at a vintage shop.

The Faux Fireplace Mantel is the Star of the Show

This faux fireplace mantel was built by my husband, inspired by several vintage pieces that I had found over the past years. It’s the perfect way to display seasonal decor in a small space.

We don’t have a fireplace in our home, and I desperately missed having a fire on a cold winter day and decorating the mantel for the holidays.

See how we made this DIY faux mantel surround.

I wanted to keep the Christmas decorations simple this year. I used the NOEL silver stocking hangers I bought from Pottery Barn years ago. They don’t carry them anymore, but I did find a few on Etsy.

The Bay leaf garland was also from Pottery Barn many years ago. I added lights, ornaments, and pinecones.

The larger cream mirror is one of those vintage thrifted items I fell in love with at first sight, while the other two are only vintage-inspired.

The cream Christmas stockings are from Target, and the navy and cream striped ticking stockings are from Hallstrom Home.

The brass candlesticks are a mix of vintage-inspired and vintage finds in several thrift shops.

I have a lot of mercury glass decor in the bedroom and love the vintage feel, whether it is old or new.

I hope you enjoyed my vintage Christmas bedroom tour. You can find some really unique pieces that will complement the Christmas items you already have beautifully.
