Charleston had me in a chokehold (again), so naturally I said “why not?” to 24 more hours in my favorite city 💕 We hit all our fave spots, soaked in every last bit of charm, and it was so worth it. Now back to reality… and counting down to the next getaway (even if it’s a long wait 😅)

Before it slips away, I had to share one more dose of Christmas in July magic! ✨🎄
Every year, one of my favorite holiday traditions is turning my coffee bar into a cozy little hot cocoa bar, and it seriously brings all the festive feels.
There’s just something so magical about sipping hot cocoa by the glow of a Christmas tree, even if it’s 90 degrees outside! 😍☕️
Bring on the marshmallows and twinkle lights, cozy season is always welcome here.
Who says festive drinks are just for December?! 🎄✨
These pomegranate rosemary ice cubes are one of my favorite holiday hacks, and they’re too pretty not to use year-round.
They instantly turn sparkling water into a chic little mocktail, and they look absolutely magical as they melt! 😍
So of course I had to bring them out for Christmas in July!
You can swap in cranberries too, so many fun combos to try!

Honestly? Might “accidentally” knock a few more off the vine just to make another batch 😏

If you’re craving a little festive magic in the middle of summer, you’re in the right place. Come obsess over Christmas decor and cozy inspo with me, the AC is blasting and the nostalgia is real. ❄️✨

Vintage Christmas Home Tour 2022

I can’t believe it’s Christmas already! And it dawned on me that I haven’t shared a vintage Christmas home tour with you all yet either. And I have been meaning to!

So I am sorry for the delay, but I figured better late than never right? I hope you enjoy my little tour and hopefully it will give you some inspiration for next year’s Christmas decorations too!

Living Room Christmas Tree

Vintage Christmas Living Room

We recently changed things up pretty big in our living room. We got a set of vintage leather sofas and replaced our old white sectional in here.

Vintage Leather Sofa in Living Room
Here are the new vintage leather sofas!

I have to say, at first I wasn’t really loving them. I thought they were a little too orange in color. But now, they have really grown on me. I love the style to them and the bead detailing.

View of living room into kitchen

Also, the cool thing about them is that they can be used with or without the back cushions as well. So you can have two completely different looks with just one sofa!

Vintage 7-Up Crate
I love how this vintage 7-Up crate is the same color as the leather too!

I will say though I don’t love all the red Christmas decor with it. In my opinion, I think it clashes. But I am pretty OCD when it comes to things like that.

Side View of Christmas Living Room

Next year, I want to replace all my red Christmas decor and do more of a gold and copper theme. I think that would really make the vintage sofas pop! So I am definitely going to be hitting up a lot of after Christmas sales!

Another new thing to our living room this year is this vintage side table that I restored with some Fusion Mineral Paint! I plan on sharing a full tutorial on how I did that soon. So be on the lookout for that tutorial!

I just love the shape to it, and it fit in our corner perfectly!

And I wrapped my presents just like last year too. I just can’t get over the vintage lace and ribbon! Most of the wrapping paper and supplies I got from Zulily and Amazon as well!

Christmas Entryway

I kept everything on our Christmas entryway the same. Although the paint and gold sconces are different than last year. You may remember that we did a whole entryway refresh at the beginning of this year too.

The vintage ceramic Christmas tree pops better against the darker color too. If you remember, the previous wall was white as well. So it kinda blended in more last year.

Vintage Ceramic Christmas Tree
Love my vintage ceramic Christmas tree! I got it from Vintage Market Days last year!

Vintage Christmas Kitchen

Now, it’s time for the kitchen in my vintage Christmas home tour! I always love displaying my old Christmas dishes!

Vintage Christmas Place Setting
The cutest little Christmas tea cup!

I usually always do a vintage Christmas tablescape on my bar in the kitchen. The old dishes only came with four place settings, so I didn’t have enough for my full dining room table.

It’s the perfect set up for our bar area!

I also love to display a few Christmas touches to our tiered trays in the kitchen too. It makes for a festive centerpiece on our island.

Christmas Coffee Bar

And now my all time favorite Christmas place to style, my coffee bar! Y’all know I always love to style my coffee bar. But Christmastime is my very favorite!

Vintage Christmas Coffee Bar

I also really love the vintage Santa mugs I hang on the hooks too. It took me a few years to find enough to hang up there!

Vintage Christmas Dining Room

I kept my Christmas tablescape pretty much the same as last year too. I just loved it so much, I didn’t want to change it up any!

Vintage Christmas Tablescape

You’ll notice that I keep my vintage ironstone dishes on my tablescape a lot and reuse them almost every season. They are just timeless and classic and go with any kind of decor!

Vintage Christmas Dining Room

Another one of my favorite things to decorate each season are my open shelves in my dining room. It’s the perfect place to display all my vintage goodies!

Vintage Christmas Dining Shelves

You may also recognize my vintage Christmas spice tins on these shelves that I shared a few weeks ago too.

Christmas Bedroom

As usual, I had to have my two pencil trees in my bedroom this year too. I love the cozy glow it brings to the space!

Christmas Bedroom

I shared more about how to style a Christmas bedroom on my blog a few years ago, so be sure to go check that out too!

Vintage Christmas Office

One of my favorite rooms in the whole vintage Christmas home tour, is my office! I love to sit in here and write next to the pretty Christmas tree!

Vintage Christmas Office View

And I have plenty of other vintage touches in here as well. Such as the vintage postcards in my inbox/outbox mailer. And the vintage Christmas card on my flower frog. You knew it had to be one with cats, didn’t you?!

You can also see my cute office assistant down below too. Toby loves to be in the office working with me!

You can also see above that I have my favorite Tree Farm candle from Antique Candle Co. burning in the office as well. I always gotta have one burning during the Christmas season!

And, I found some more vintage Shiny Brite ornaments this year and decided to display them in my dough bowl I love the grayish blue color to them!

Christmas Guest Bedroom

I also am obsessed with our Christmas guest bedding! It has cats all over it, which you know is right up my alley!

Flocked King of Christmas Tree in Bedroom

Another new edition to the guest bedroom is my olive tree! And it is actually real! So let’s hope I am able to keep it alive until next Christmas too!

Well, I hope you all enjoyed my little vintage Christmas home tour! I threw it together really quickly and only made it time by just one day before Christmas!

But, I hope you also have a wonderful Christmas and enjoy spending it with family friends! And as always, I am so appreciative of all of you stopping by my blog! Merry Christmas!

    I really love that clock, it’s so unique! I really like the couch color, it really does look vintage without looking worn out, I would have guessed that it was basically new. I like the 7up crate, I also just like wooden crates in general, I just don’t have them because I am prone/unlikely to splinters for some reason. I really like how you decorated with mostly white, with pops of red and green, and the idea od replacing red with gold next year sounds amazing.

It takes a few months to infuse, so now’s the perfect time to get ahead of the holiday chaos. I shared the full how-to on the blog if you wanna make your own → [https://morningsonmacedonia.com/homemade-vanilla-extract/]

Trust me, once you give these out, everyone will be asking for more next year. 💌
Have you ever made your own extract before? Or thinking of trying it this year?
Here’s a little Christmas in July baking hack f Here’s a little Christmas in July  baking hack for you!! Bake your desserts early, before you actually need them, and then freeze them!! We all know how busy the holidays can get and the last thing you wanna do is to have to bake another dessert! That way, you just have to lay them out in the fridge the night before! I’ve been doing this for years and it always saves me so much time!

Can you believe July is almost over?! 😱 Before Can you believe July is almost over?! 😱
Before it slips away, I had to share one more dose of Christmas in July magic! ✨🎄
Every year, one of my favorite holiday traditions is turning my coffee bar into a cozy little hot cocoa bar, and it seriously brings all the festive feels.
There’s just something so magical about sipping hot cocoa by the glow of a Christmas tree, even if it’s 90 degrees outside! 😍☕️
Bring on the marshmallows and twinkle lights, cozy season is always welcome here.
Who says festive drinks are just for December?! 🎄✨
These pomegranate rosemary ice cubes are one of my favorite holiday hacks, and they’re too pretty not to use year-round.
They instantly turn sparkling water into a chic little mocktail, and they look absolutely magical as they melt! 😍
So of course I had to bring them out for Christmas in July!
You can swap in cranberries too, so many fun combos to try!
Get the easy how-to on the blog:

Time to make your drinks a little more merry & bright! Even in July!
Is it even late summer if you’re not already dre Is it even late summer if you’re not already dreaming of Starbucks fall drinks?! 🍁🍎
I don’t go often, but once those cozy fall flavors hit the menu, I’m there daily.
So while we all impatiently wait, I decided to make my own Apple Oatmilk Macchiato at home… and y’all, it tastes just like the real deal!
I dropped the full recipe on the blog so you can make it too:

Let’s romanticize fall together a little early, shall we? ☕️✨

When life gives you a fallen green tomato… you f When life gives you a fallen green tomato… you fry it 🍅🔥
One of my little tomatoes popped off the vine while I was fixing the trellis (rude). But listen, I’ve put way too much love into these raised beds to let anything go to waste. So I sliced it up, fried it Southern-style, and WOW… crispy, tangy, perfection.
Honestly? Might “accidentally” knock a few more off the vine just to make another batch 😏

Call me unhinged, but I’m deep into Christmas in July and I’m not sorry about it. Twinkle lights, cozy vibes, hot cocoa (okay, iced cocoa) ☕️ I want it all.
If you’re craving a little festive magic in the middle of summer, you’re in the right place. Come obsess over Christmas decor and cozy inspo with me, the AC is blasting and the nostalgia is real. ❄️✨
