If you’re an apartment dweller or a fan of mid century modern or more natural, earthy, bohemian elements, this post is for you. This post captures our first time decorating our recently refreshed living room with our first real Christmas tree — and all the realities of limited storage for decor!

Our holiday decor is comprised of lots of living greenery, warm neutrals, natural wood and stone textures, mixed metallic accents and free spirited, whimsical textures. It also incorporates a nod to vintage, mid-century inspired design while keeping a mixture of traditional and contemporary elements and cozy up the space with layers of faux fur, wool and chunky knits.

MID CENTURY MEETS BOHO HOLIDAY DECOR

If you’re looking for some holiday decorating ideas featuring a flocked artificial tree, pop over to my Mid Century Meets Boho Holiday Decor post! Even though it was just the two of us last Christmas, I knew I wanted to keep things fun, fresh and festive this holiday season. In fact, I think last year’s holiday decor may just be my favourite yet! As always, I mixed high, low, old and new to infuse the apartment with Christmas spirit — and in this post I’m detailing exactly how I pulled it all together!

Whether you’ve been with me here at JustineCelina for years or have just recently joined (welcome!), you’ll know I’m all about finding creative ways to make my favourite pieces feel fresh again — be it in my home or in your wardrobe. That said, I knew didn’t want to rely on having to shop in person for our holiday tree this year. So, instead of purchasing fresh tree as we’ve done in years past, I decided to have some fun with it and ordered a flocked artificial tree — and I adore the effect! If you’re in search of some creative holiday DIYs and boho Christmas decorating ideas, you’ve come to the right place — join me for a glass of bubbly as I share how I created a warm, modern and inviting holiday atmosphere in our home this season!

COZY CHECKS 

As winter approaches, I find myself drawn to more subdued, tonal palettes — which is definitely out of the ordinary for this colour lover! That said, I still love to experiment with shade, texture and pattern, especially when there’s a lack of colour. Wool, faux fur, plaid, and suede all intermingle in this understated, festive look!

HOMEMADE DAIRY FREE COCONUT RUM EGGNOG

Is it even the holidays without eggnog?! My Homemade Dairy Free Coconut Rum Eggnog is a festive holiday beverage that’s been in my family for decades, but has recently undergone a contemporary, plant-based makeover! I have so many cherished memories of our neighbours making this eggnog for everyone on our country road to enjoy on Christmas Eve (it never lasted long!). Unfortunately, over the years as I developed a dairy intolerance I was no longer able indulge — that is, until 2018!

I decided it was about time to give my favourite eggnog recipe a clean, dairy-free makeover by swapping milk and heavy creams with coconut-based alternatives, regular eggs for the free-run, local, farm-fresh variety, table sugar with 100% pure Canadian maple syrup, spiced rum for Eau Claire Distillery’s seasonal, Limited Edition Gin Rummy, infusing our homemade eggnog with cinnamon sticks and topping it off with decedent dark chocolate shavings. As always, this festive cocktail is free of dairy, gluten and refined sugar — and has become my favourite healthier holiday indulgence!

This festive, feminine, fruity and lightly floral cocktail combines Eau Claire’s stunning Cherry Gin with my favourite Prosecco, a splash of fresh lemon juice and a Rose & Pink Peppercorn Infused Honey Simple Syrup for a contemporary spin on the classic French 75. My Rose Infused Cherry Gin Fizz is a beautiful addition to your holiday menu, but can be enjoyed anytime you want to indulge in a gourmet craft cocktail at home! As always, it’s free of dairy, gluten and refined sugar — and bursting with fruity flavours, floral undertones, unique botanicals and a refreshing effervescence.
