Christmas Decor Inspiration: Apartment Life

December 13, 2022

I feel accomplished that we not only decorated for Christmas but that I remembered to get photos of everything too!! Anybody who follows my personal Instagram will understand how crazy life has been so this really does feel like something big! In between family obligations, second jobs, and everything else life is throwing my way…this little apartment has become a sanctuary where I can feel cozy and safe. I’m definitely going to miss it when everything gets taken down in the new year…

In love with our mismatched ornaments! They are a collection of different places we’ve been, experiences we’ve had, and some homemade ones thrown in there too!!

This sign is one of my favorite parts of our home! We picked it up from the Rustic Marlin during our Cape Cod vacation this year!!

The gold tree is from HomeGoods (it lights up!) and the cute little drawing is from Ryan himself when he was a little boy!

Incredibly proud of these stocking that I crocheted myself!! I need to remake them a little bit bigger for next year but I loved the look of them! Pattern can be found HERE and the cute tags can be found HERE!

Although a little hard to see in photos, these glass snow-people are so beautiful. They were handed down to us from my sister in-law and are so well loved!

Love my little tree collection! Most are from HomeGoods with a few from Target as well. I’ve been collecting them since our first apartment and hope to continue the collection!!

Could I have edited out the giant fire alarm…yes…but I really can’t be bothered lol… Anyways!! How cute are these little houses?! I found them in the Target dollar spot and I think the reindeer are also from Target or maybe TJ Maxx??

I call this my “Tea Gnome” because cookies go stale but he was too cute not to use!! I got this gifted to me years ago and he fit perfectly next to the kettle!!

Our bedroom has subtle coastal vibes to it so we kept a lot of the decor in here neutral. This little tree and deer are from Target dollar spot a few years ago.

One of the easiest projects I’ve made but one of my favorites. These are framed prints of our wedding vows that I made on Canva (super simple) and printed on regular cardstock! Whenever life gets hard, I just read through these vows and they help get me through!

The prettiest tree in the Apartment and it’s a $20 tree from Walmart with dollar store ornaments and plastic icicles. Perfect proof that money doesn’t create beauty I guess!!

A small glimpse of the “Christmas Corner” in our office!! The coziest chair to work in with just a little festive cheer!

Thanks for reading! I’m obsessed with how much Christmas cheer we have in our little Apartment and hope you enjoyed!!
