Hello and welcome to the Storybook Cottage Swinging 60s Holiday Home Tour. I am participating in this lovely holiday hop organized by my friend Marty of A Stroll Thru Life. If you are coming over from Making It In The Mountains I am so glad that you are here. Wasn’t Kristi’s home so cozy? 
Swinging 60s Holiday Home Tour
We are in the midst of preparing for a major kitchen and living room renovation so the decorations are simple and easy to move.
In the entry a silver tray, containing a sparkly dear and bottlebrush trees, can easily be whisked away if the need arises.
Our color palette this year, featuring turquoise and pink, was inspired by the Swinging 60’s.
The all white tree features vintage garland and Shiny Brite ornaments.
Most belonged to our grandparents and truly cherished. Although there are a few modern reproductions.
I made the embellished sequined felt tree skirt back in 2016.
I’m currently working on a new one for the Fashionista. I forgot how much time they take. HA!
I adore how Santa sparkles and shines!
The green hutch contains a variety of delights. It includes more vintage garlands, ornaments and some of the Putz houses I have made.
The Pine Cone Carolers delight my heart.
You can find the fun DIY craft HERE.
This sweet Mid-Century Nativity scene belonged to my Grandma Mary and Papa Jack.
The bar cart is ready to put some Fa La La La into the holiday season. I love how the mantel is reflected in the mirror.
The Mantel
I had hoped to have the brick hearth and surround painted white by Christmas. Like everything else with our current kitchen renovations paint is in short supply/backordered. Fingers crossed for early New Years!
So it’s also decorated simply with more retro inspired holiday decor.
You can find the craft DIY to make your own candles HERE.
The Dining Area
The dining area also features a turquoise and pink color scheme with accents of gold and white.
This tablescape makes me smile!
The doxie ears hide a sweet secret. You can see a short reel of the interactive table runner HERE.
The Bedroom
The master bedroom is also decorated simply.
You can see additional photos of the bedroom and how to make the easy Fun Felt Garland HERE.
The Sunroom
In the sunroom I have set up a Little House inspired Christmas scene.
It serves as the backdrop for the current Lessons With Laura holiday story time mini series on YouTube.
The next story time will be this Sunday.
You can view part one HERE.
I hope you have a peaceful holiday season!
Up next is Pink Peppermint Design. You will love Tammy’s home decorating ideas!

Oh I do love your retro 60’s Christmas. You are so clever and so talented. Love that tree skirt and the fact that you showcase so many of the amazing crafts you create. What a fun Christmas. Thanks so much for joining us again this season.
Miss Marty I look forward to your wonderful tours They are truly my favorite!
I so much enjoyed your 1960s Christmas decorations.
Paula thank you so much for stopping by. Your kind words warmed my heart!
Laura, this s simply enchanting. It’s like walking into a magical world with the beautiful colors and whimsical features, like your darling table runner, the “candles” and your garlands (snowmen on the stairs, pretty pastel leaves!). The white tree is about as perfect as a tree can get and I love your shiny brites and the fact that you have these wonderful ornaments from generations before. it’s lovely!
Oh Jeanie your lovely comment has brought me such joy!
Oh my gosh, how fun are those candles?!?! Thanks so much for the beautiful tour and Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much for stopping by. I can’t wait to see your tour!
Your home looks so pretty all decorated in the bright and shiny pinks and aquas for the holidays. It is so light and airy looking. I can almost hear the fun 60s Christmas tunes playing on a record player in the background.
But it is so sweet how you kept the traditional red and green for a quiet corner as well. A cozy calm place to settle in with a good Christmas book (or a nap)
You are all ready for the holidays. Thank you so much for sharing!
Hope you are all enjoying the holidays and staying safe. <3
Thank you so much for visiting Em. We do indeed have all the Christmas classics playing on the stereo! 🙂
I always look forward to your holiday decorations! I especially love all of the handmade candles on your mantle and of course your amazing tree skirt and table runner.
I hope your kitchen renovation goes smoothly.
Sweet Tanya thank you so much for stopping by! I can’t wait to share my daughters tree skirt which of course was inspired by you!
Oh my gosh!!! LOVE all of the pretty colours you’ve brought into your holiday decor! Everything feels SO festive and fun!!!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I appreciate your stopping by!
So beautiful! I love the pine cone carol ears. Many blessings and a very Merry Christmas.
The Pine Cone Carolers just might be my favorite too. Thank you for visiting!
Hi Laura,
I enjoyed the tour of your beautiful home’s Christmas decor. Your loving touch is in everything.
Wishing you and your family a most wonderful Christmas time.
Linda
Linda, your sweet words have warmed my heart! Wishing you and your family a happy holiday season.
Just the title and I couldn’t wait to read your post and it was so fun!! I especially loved your tree and your mantel! That DIY is awesome!
Kristin thank you so much for stopping by. I can’t wait to see your tour!
Hi Laura! What a fun Christmas tour! I love all the vintage and retro touches. Happy to join the tour this year.
Blessings, Lori
Everything looks so fun & cheery! Your tree skirt & table runner are delightful!
Laura, there is EVERYTHING to love about this post! That tree is to die for! And what a sweet nostalgic nod to your grandparents. You can really feel the love and sentiment that went in to decorating it. So well done! I can’t wait to see your kitchen re-do! ~ carol
You really hit it out of the park with this one, Laura! The vintage is always terrific, but the retro takes a lot of creativity! Love your tree and as always Shiny Bright ornaments are treasures!
Super post!
Jane
I don’t know where to start… The tree with the pretty Shiny Bright ornaments, the tree skirt, the table runner, those cute candles or carolers? You outdid yourself this year. What a lovely 60’s holiday home tour!
And girl, I can’t wait to see all the changes you’re bringing to your home!
What fun! I love all the colors and the cheerful vibe! Beautiful tour!
Shelley
I love those pinecone carolers and DIY candles so much! The white Christmas tree is beautiful with vintage ornaments. Good luck with your renovations this holiday! Also, would love to meet you sometime Laura!
I never knew the 60’s could be so adorable! The colors, the candles, the pinecone soloists, the hidden diamond collars on the blue Gracie’s – it’s all fantastic! I even love the little angels. It’s funny to me that our consumer angels are always small and dainty. When I picture Angels in my head they are huge and super strong. Looking forward to one day seeing a real one! Merry Christmas sweet friend. Hope we can get together soon.
You make me want to go out and start all new collections! I love the white tree and the candle DIY idea is so fun! Everything looks so happy!
I absolutely adore this nod to the 60’s, my friend. All of the bright, playful colors make me so happy, and your tree is gorgeous! Wishing you a happy holiday season!
