My Christmas Tree Tour
Christmas Tree Tour
Today, I wanted to share with you my Christmas Trees. They aren't big and lavish but they suit me. I have a small house that I love and a big tree just doesn't fit. It used to....back in the old days before three boys became a part of my life and a television and a desk went in to the living room....now...there's just one little corner for a tree so I disperse small trees throughout the house. This year I have 5 trees decorated but I'm only showing 4...the 5th one is in the bedroom of my two younger sons and I forgot to take pictures {okay...the room was a mess so I didn't take pictures!}.
This little beauty is my girlie tree and sits on a countertop in the kitchen~ its tree skirt is a vintage linen kitchen towel.
The tree in the living room is a pencil tree that I placed into an antique copper wash tub ~ I strung it somewhat recklessly with warm white lights and burlap.
We placed a chalkboard at the base in the front of the copper tub to countdown the days to Christmas.
I have a string of bubble lights also embracing this tree and
I keep a pail of crystals on hand and this year placed them all over this tree.
I also placed some of my antique ornaments here including this felt stocking from I believe the 1940's or 1950's.
I love bottle brush decor and found this one at Joann Fabrics this year along with
this gorgeous glittery chandelier ornament with crystal accents.
This is another of my antique ornaments.
Lastly, I tucked some silk poinsettias between the branches to fill out this tree a bit.
This tree sits in a corner in my dining room ~ when I opened my bine of ornaments I liked the way the red and blue ornaments looked together so that was the inspiration for this tree. {Yes, this is my normal thought process!}
This is the final tree and sits on my desk ~ it's covered with some Dollar Tree ornaments as well as the ornaments I had left after decorating the other trees and sits in a brass bowl that was a recent thrift store find.
And there you have it ~ my Christmas Tree Tour.
May you have a blessed and Merry Christmas!
