Gingerbread Theme Christmas Decorating in our Toile Breakfast Room! Vintage Retro Style Decorations!

[@julielozano1852]

I love how much you enjoy shopping for and decorating your home

[@lavettamoff7883]

Adorable, and your children will never want to leave that room.

[@oldmaplehome]

It's probably the most used room of our house - I love sitting in there with a candle burning :)

[@lianeabeyta4515]

I have used a cut piece of pvc pipe in the middle surrounded by large pieces of styrofoam packing pieces that stabilize it. Works perfectly, THis room turned out so sweet and magical. Love the house theme throughout. Any child would be so happy to eat at this table with a twinkling tree in the corner . I have also used the cookie ornaments, but I put them in a cellophane bag tied with a bow and stack them in a bowl on the hutch. Just a sweet cozy visual. You do need to have real cookies on hand when everyone is disappointed they are not real.. haha

[@floppyears4me]

I love how you incorporated the candy and vintage ornaments with the gingerbread! I have re-watched this several times in the past week as Hobby Lobby just put their 2023 Christmas items at 50%off. I'll have to go back as I forgot to get the lollipop picks

[@jaynebrown693]

Oh Elizabeth ~ just when I think “this can’t top the last one”…YOU DO ! What a delicious room! I love the top of the hutches… then the tree… truly CANDY TO THE EYES ! Scrumptiousness in every corner 💕💕 The tree bottom , I had my husband cut those legs that come with the tree to fit my basket and put bricks around the bottom to stabilize it. But that was years ago. I like your idea, except so much for working out during Christmas ….😂 So well done !!! Yes a tour by candlelight…any tour is exciting and a treat ! God bless and have a beautiful week ! 💕💕🌲🌲💕💕

[@oldmaplehome]

Hello my friend, I saw someone else cut the legs recently and I may just do that lol! Thank you for always leaving such fun comments! Merry Christmas! xoxoxo!

Your videos are always so full of inspiration! Thank you for sharing.

[@elaineteut9579]

I used an old beautiful crock that was my husband’s mother’s. We put the tree in and filled it with gravel and it worked perfectly. I love the cute gingerbread houses.

[@oldmaplehome]

I used the gravel last year to pot some lighted birch trees in urn planters, worked well! I never thought to do that with a Christmas tree though!

[@patriciarafter3h]

Beautiful and great color combo! I would to see a night time reveal! My favorite part was the scripture! God bless!

[@oldmaplehome]

I'll be filming a candlelight home tour soon!

[@sprogohomeaway9602]

Amazing decor. I also have gingerbread and food theme for my kitchen and dining room. Xxx

[@tiff8366]

[@kathleenroberts7972]

This is the sweetest room imaginable!!! Wow!

[@oldmaplehome]

You're so kind, thank you!!

[@AmberWaves-WA-State]

I like how your panning of the room is slow, smooth and doesn't rock around. You're combination of beauty and production is very satisfying. Thank you for the reason for Christmas at the end! Jesus!

[@oldmaplehome]

Thank you for the thoughtful critique, I appreciate it!

[@jodyfleming3805]

I always use a bucket & plaster of Paris to get them to stand up in anything I want- Your home looks fantastic!

[@oldmaplehome]

Oh, that sounds interesting!

[@annamorreale9458]

Hi Elizabeth. I really enjoyed this video. The whimsical theme really drew me in. It was a LOT of fun to view as you decorated the room. I can’t wait for your home tour. 🎄🥰❤️

[@oldmaplehome]

I'm glad you liked it! This room was so fun to curate!

[@vickiewinfrey2439]

Oh Elizabeth your dining room came out beautiful and whimsical! I bet your family and kids are enjoying it. Love the gingerbread theme! Thanks so much for taking the time to share it! Happy Holidays🎄❤️

[@ramonalinkous4733]

Sweetness ❤❤❤

[@melissar6365]

A friend of mine wanted to use a large chinoiserie plant pot for her tree. She ran into the same problem. She ended up purchasing a few bricks with the right sized hole to fit the pole of the tree. She then covered them with cotton snow. It worked perfectly and no chance of her tree falling.

[@oldmaplehome]

I was just hoping there was an actual product created for this purpose that I just didn't know about yet :p

[@christinecook377]

How "sweet". You are very creative.

[@oldmaplehome]

Thank you! 😊

Merry Christmas and Thank You for the most adorable, whimsical decorating. My grand children would love this and you have inspired me to take this direction. It’s beautiful. I love your videos. You take everything nice and slow so we don’t miss the details. Your channel is very enjoyable.

I'm so glad you're enjoying everything! It's been alot of fun sharing the Christmas decorating process with you all! I love this theme - it's so cheerful!

Thank you Sara!

[@melissar6365]

Love this candy/gingerbread room SO much! It reminds me of a room that “Mrs. Claus” would have at the North Pole. I’ve always wanted to do my kitchen this way for the holidays. I’m getting so many ideas from you for next year, since my kitchen is under renovations this year. I even went to Joann’s and bought those gingerbread picks. I can’t wait to be able to pull something together for next Christmas! Your kids must love this!

[@oldmaplehome]

That's a great description of the room - I didn't think of that, but I love it! Those gingerbread picks are so cute and a great value!

[@dianefontaine8918]

What can I say? It looks AWESOME. So we’ll done 👏🇨🇦🌲🦌🎅🏻🤗❤️❤️

[@oldmaplehome]

Awe, thanks!

[@melindajoy111]

Love ❤️

[@shellypontz4155]

Elizabeth, I absolutely love your style. I bet the kiddos love the gingerbread theme. I've had my grandchildren this weekend. They've really been enthralled with my vintage Victorian tree in my living room, most all of the ornaments on it date back to the very beginning of the 1900s. Most are all hand-blown, gifted to me by my grandma. It's truly beautiful!

[@oldmaplehome]

Sounds so gorgeous! I would love to see those!

[@FaithyandOtis..Massachusetts]

You never disappoint when you decorate a room 👏whether it’s for the holidays or just regular decorating.. I enjoy watching you, and I absolutely adore your home. You can tell you love your home because you take such care in everything you do to preserve its integrity.🐶Otis and me❄️❄️❄️ Massachusetts

[@oldmaplehome]

You're so sweet, thank you!!

[@ksl2634]

Even though this room is not "tradionally" styled for christmas, the whimsical, retro colors still plays in nicely with the home. So cute and tasteful! 💜

[@oldmaplehome]

I've really enjoyed giving each room its own distinct theme this year :)

[@hollyashton7009]

Sooo magical! I loved the music during the reveal 🎵

[@oldmaplehome]

Thank you!

[@lisalowe7679]

I bought the same pics at JoAnns. I didn’t cut mine off. That’s a good idea. They only had three when I got mine. I can’t believe how similar our taste is !!!!! Couldn’t believe it when I saw you pull those gingerbread pics out from JoAnns!!! Of coarse I’m going to have to watch a second time. So happy I found you this year !!!🌲🥰God Bless you and your family. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

[@oldmaplehome]

They are just the cutest little gingerbread men and such a great price at 70% off!

[@marthajones7265]

Fabulous!!

Thank you Martha!

An outdoor patio weighted umbrella stand base does the trick for the unconventional pots/basket christmas tree bases that actually fit the tree rods! 😉

[@oldmaplehome]

Good idea!

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

What an amazing whimsical room! The colors together are gorgeous! You have such a creative eye!! What a gift!! This time of the year has the most remarkable, marvelous and hopeful verses. God bless you and your family.

[@oldmaplehome]

I didn't want to cut into the basket, but I did think about it lol

[@lisalowe7679]

So pretty. ISO enjoyed your video

[@oldmaplehome]

So glad!

[@linp1268]

The style, look and age of your home is so beautiful on it's own. Now with all your decorating touches, it looks like a page out of a old children's storybook. It is so warm and whimsical and sweet. Your gingerbread decor transports me back to my childhood, full of wonderful memories. Your home looks so happy and I am sure it will be the same for anyone who passes through your door to visit. May you enjoy it everyday during this season and I hope you make magical memories of your own. 🎀

[@ReinventedDelaware]

So festive! The room is so pretty - I'm sure your kids love it!

[@oldmaplehome]

Thank you!

[@sandystafford5845]

You can make your own using Quick Crete a bucket and a piece of PVC pipe just a bit larger than the metal pole of the tree. Cut the bucket away, then just slide the tree in every year. I have two that we made and they last for years.

[@oldmaplehome]

This is a fantastic idea, thank you!!

[@sandystafford5845]

Thanks mom!

[@lisalowe7679]

Thought the weights were a brilliant idea. You and I decorate almost the exact same themes in each room. My e try is winter wonderland but mine is done with blue and white, our kitchens are very similar as well, and my main Tree has a Victorian feel for sure. I sent your videos to a couple of my friends. They couldn’t believe the similarities. Great job on it all !!!!🌲🥰👍enjoying your content. Lisa from Dallas

[@clawa1970]

Hi. Maybe you can use a small, round, metal, sun umbrella base. Or you craft your own base with a metal bucket and throw cement in there with a metal tube in the middle, which fits your tree.

[@oldmaplehome]

Great idea! I've never seen small ones - I'll have to look that up!

Love all of this! I’ve never thought to make its own small tree. ❤🤍❤️I’d love to know where the peppermint ball ornaments are from?❤🤍❤️

[@thesentimentalsoul3683]

Use a wood stump and drill a hole in it to fit the pole

[@lilangelfarm174]

I would have used the round base and then flipped the basket upside down. Cut a hole just large enough for the pole and it would have worked because it was just the rim that was stopping it

[@oldmaplehome]

That's a good idea - I just didn't want to cut into the basket, but I definitely thought about it lol

[@foreverandalways3305]

Looks beautiful. ☃️. Love your house. Do you store everything in the attic or garage at the end of the season?🌲

I'm definitely team gingerbread room! The bright colors and fun candy decor is just so cheerful :) I just looked up a recipe online and sadly I do not remember exactly which one it was. I do remember it was just flour, salt and water and then you bake it at 200 for a couple hours until dry - super easy!
