Love the retro Christmas decor look but don’t want to hunt down the real thing? These mid-century inspired holiday decor items are perfect.
I love retro decor all year long but mid-century Christmas decor has a special place in my heart. I have trouble resisting mercury glass ornaments. I love them so much!
I have vintage red and turquoise mercury glass ornaments on my main Christmas tree and I have mercury glass ornaments in different dishes and containers all over my house. My collection is always growing.
While my favorite retro Christmas decor is the true vintage stuff, that’s not always easy to find and can be pricey. It seemed like after Mad Men everything mid-century got even more popular and expensive. However, it does also mean more reproductions are coming out. This is easier to find.
Be sure to check your locally owned stores because mercury glass especially has become popular. I’ve found some great little mercury glass candle holders at local stores. I love supporting local stores. Also, check out your thrift stores if you want to the real thing, that’s your best bet for more affordable decor. I also like to search Etsy for mercury glass ornaments and other vintage goodies.
