a very merry christmas home tour 5

Welcome, friends! I am honored to be a part of a beautiful home tour, hosted by Lovely Etc. along side another 30+ inspiring and creative bloggers!  Please join me at my home for some coffee and egg nog :)

My favorite part about our home this Christmas has got to be the addition of our white tree with a galvanized bucket as the tree skirt! I’ve been wanting one for years and for some crazy reason, my husband just fell in love with the idea… finally!
So he let me buy one :)

White bottle brush tree on a truck, plaid printable and cut wood centerpieces

I have two trees this year. One room is pastels, whites and pinks. The other room is more traditional colors, woodsy and rustic feeling. I love having the opportunity to decorate with both color schemes.

I loooove my pinks and teal, but I’m also head over heals
in love with red plaid and antlers.

How to Pull Off a Themed Tree
Without Losing Personal Touch

Believe it or not, I didn’t hang a single ornament on either of my trees. The kids (age 4, 6 and 8) did it all. Look closely, you may see a carefully thought out color scheme, but those ornaments are all memorable pieces we’ve collected over the years, handmade or received as gifts. You don’t have to give up on those sentimental ornaments your kids have made over the years to have a tree that looks put together well. Simple choose a color scheme or main focus and make sure that stands out. I pulled all my decorations out and told the kids: anything pink or teal goes on the white tree, nothing with red. Everything else goes on the green tree. I chose not to use tulle, ribbon, burlap or garland on the white tree, but kept it clean with only the ornaments. I used burlap on the traditional tree. If you only have room for one tree, you may have to give some ornaments a year off, if they don’t fit that year’s theme.

Oops, I didn’t get a very good full room picture of the tree while the house was clean, so here’s one from my Fall home tour!! :)

    It is so much fun peeking into everyone’s home to spy on their Christmas decor! My favorite piece is your white tree, I need to get one for my daughter’s room. So pretty!

    I would love for you to share this post {and others} at my Show Me Saturday linky party this weekend. My readers would love your decor!

    I love your ‘tree skirt’. That’s such a great idea! I love how different your two trees are two. They both look amazing. On another note…I have that same trellis rug…do you have problems with it bunching up like crazy? Mine does and it drives me mad!

      Alicia, thanks so much! I love the look of that rug, and I even bought a second one because of what you get for the price. BUT, it slides around super easy because the backing is not good. Is that what you mean? I actually just got a rug pad to sample from http://www.rugpadcorner.com/ I’ll be doing a review soon. It has definitely helped though.

      Thanks Sandra! We found it at “At Home” formerly “Garden Ridge” it was the best looking one we had found for the price (around $199) there are cheaper ones at Walmart, but not as full looking.
