I've only been collecting Santa mugs for a few years, and while I have several vintage ones, most are new (but they'll be vintage some day!). Combining my collection in one spot on my coffee bar adds so much vintage charm!

Last year I had a dedicated Santa tree, and my mugs were mainly in my primitive pine hutch. I love to keep this collection together because it makes more of an impact.

This year, I decided to decorate our coffee station with all of my Santa collectibles. The long white painted dresser is a nice, big coffee station, and I've hung an old vintage chippy white window above it. I strung my DIY wood slice decoupage Santa garland across the window. And I recently added a string of DIY  cinnamon salt dough gingerbread men (the recipe is also in my sidebar).

My coffee station is the first place I head in the morning, and I love the whimsical, magical, merry feel of being greeted by all these charming Santa faces!

I have several small gingerbread houses that I've decorated and this seemed a fitting place for them. I included both the wood gingerbread houses (Target dollar spot wood houses that I gingerbread-ified with white puffy paint) as well as my clearance  Halloween ceramic houses that I turned into gingerbread houses!

The hardest part is picking which mug I want to use every morning!

Actually, I reserve the bottom tier of our tiered shelf filled with mugs that we use on a daily basis during the holidays. Once the kids are all home, I add hot cocoa mixes, peppermint sticks and other goodies so they can easily help themselves.

The mug rack that I have hanging nearby on the wall also got a little dose of Christmas Santa decor! I hung Santa mugs along with chunky restaurant ware mugs that I've picked up at thrift stores for a buck each. I added a lighted greenery garland around the mug rack, and tucked in ornaments, vintage cookie cutters and printed vintage Christmas postcards.

Across the room is another sweet little corner with a wall cubby and small dresser. I always have small ironstone pieces on the shelves, but for Christmas added in some red ornaments and vintage Christmas decor.
