Christmas in Our Rustic French Farmhouse: DIY Wreaths & Holiday Cheer
Experience the magic of Christmas in a rustic French farmhouse. From DIY wreaths and cozy fires to unexpected discoveries in the garden, join us on a festive holiday adventure. Perfect for those dreaming of rural living or house renovation inspiration in France.
Rustic Farmhouse Christmas Decorations
Step inside our farmhouse and see how a few simple touches create a cozy holiday atmosphere. We hung fairy lights, laid out seasonal greenery, and brought out decorations passed down from family and friends. Each ornament tells a story, and it’s that personal touch that makes decorating so special.
Treasure Hunting for Lost Festive Decor
The attic is full of surprises! We rummaged through boxes of forgotten decorations, uncovering ornaments that spark memories from Christmases past. It’s always a little chaotic, but the payoff is worth it when the tree is finally adorned with these treasured baubles.
The Perfect Tree: Lights, Baubles & Wobbly Angels
The Christmas tree is the star of our farmhouse. We decorated it with colorful baubles, and the crowning glory—a slightly wobbly angel—adds charm and character. There’s something magical about hanging ornaments that carry family memories, and it makes every effort worthwhile.
Cozy Fires and Winter Warmth
After the tree is up, it’s time to light the log burner and get the farmhouse warm. Chopping logs and building a roaring fire is hard work, but nothing beats the satisfaction of a cozy, glowing home when the winter chill is in the air. And of course, it sets the perfect scene for holiday cheer.
Hedgerow Foraging for Wreath Supplies
The countryside around our farmhouse provides everything we need for DIY Christmas wreaths. Holly, ivy, and berries are just steps away, so we don’t have to travel far. Foraging outdoors is fun, sustainable, and gives each wreath a rustic, authentic charm that store-bought decor can’t match.
Unexpected Farm Discoveries
Sometimes renovating and decorating a rural property comes with surprises! While gathering wreath materials, a local farmer uncovered an ancient harrow buried in the hedge. With roots entwined and old metal parts hidden in the soil, it’s a reminder that old farmhouses and rural gardens are full of history waiting to be discovered.
Crafting DIY Christmas Wreaths
Using ivy, holly, and leftover decorations, we made rustic wreaths for the front door. It’s a creative, hands-on project, and even if you’re not an expert, the process is rewarding. Adding personal touches gives each wreath character, and it’s the perfect way to bring festive cheer to a rural French home.
Wishing You a Merry Christmas
fter all the decorating, foraging, and crafting, our farmhouse is ready for a warm, festive holiday. We hope this video inspires you to create your own rustic Christmas traditions. From our French farmhouse to yours, Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
