Holiday Home Tour 2021: Retro + Kitschy Mudroom and Laundry Room

The mudroom and laundry room in our home has been where I display all my more kitschy and fun vintage Christmas decor collection over the last few years! I love how the bright colors pop off of the black and white in this room and it’s just a fun and cheerful sight to walk into! This space is multi-functional but very open so I like to keep it looking as pulled together as possible. You can shop my decor and similar items linked below!

Holiday Home Tour 2021: Classically Vintage Christmas Nursery

John Woodford’s bedroom is so nostalgic for me and houses a lot of my keepsake Christmas items, ornaments, books, and stuffed animals from childhood. I wanted to make this space feel as magical as possible and we have so much fun playing with the Santa train, turning on all the lights, and reading books in here. Each year we add a few more fun keepsakes and it just gets better and better. My favorite thing in the space is probably the vintage toy box I use as a tree skirt for his Christmas tree. It ended up being the perfect size and I’m able to use it for storage throughout the rest of the year! I also love the cozy teepee set up full of pillows, Christmas stuffed animals, and Christmas lights!

DIY Vintage Christmas Village Makeover

My favorite DIYs are those that give new life to outdated decorations and vintage pieces. I have had this outdated Christmas village sitting in my garage for years and always have wanted to figure out a way to include it in my Christmas decor as I love the tradition and idea of village sets. This year, while searching for some Christmas decor ideas for the playroom, I had the idea to paint the set in bright colors to match the room. This was so easy and fun and such a great way to update and reuse these old sets. Whether you go with bright and bold colors or just paint it solid white, there’s so many fun ways to update the classic pieces. Check out the before photos and instructions below!

Holiday Home Tour: Mudroom

Today I’m sharing my Christmas decor from my mudroom/laundry room this year. I have so much kitschy vintage Christmas decor I’ve collected over the years and this seemed like the perfect spot to display some of it. I love how the bright colors really pop against the black and white gingham wallpaper and black chalkboard wall. This space is really so cheerful and fun to walk into everyday and it makes doing laundry a little bit better too!
