Ceramic Christmas Tree Sideboard Display

November 16, 2018~ Christmas, dining room

And now, the Christmas tours begin! I’ve got plenty more crafts and fun cocktails, but it’s time to start showing you how I’m decorating for the season. To do so, I’ve joined Steph Watkins from Casa Watkins Living for her annual My Home Style: Christmas Tree tour. I wanted to do something a little different for this, so instead of unveiling my tree, I’m sharing my Ceramic Christmas Tree Sideboard Display.

Tour my Retro White Christmas Tree, my Colourful Eclectic Christmas Tree, and my Gold & Copper Christmas Tree.

Make sure you go check out the other participants in the hop (links at the bottom), and go see what the other ladies going live today are up to:  Made In A Day // Club Crafted // Daly Digs // Jennifer Perkins

Christmas tree O' Christmas tree! I love me some retro Christmas decor. And if you do too, you'll love my ceramic Christmas tree sideboard display. #ceramictree #retrochristmas

I bought my first retro ceramic Christmas tree off my assistant Kelly, earlier this fall. She had a forest of about 14 of them, and decided to sell half of them. I would have bought more of them, but I knew she’d let me borrow them for a shoot, so I snapped up the biggest one!

As you know, I love all things kitschy cute for the holidays especially adorable little ceramic trees that our movers are likely to break during the next move (kidding!), so starting a collection of them is high on my list. And after you see how good the sideboard looks, you’ll agree!

As you know, I recently completed a makeover in our living room, and not many other spaces have gotten any love. So with the holidays and all the entertaining on our calendar, I figured it was time to dress-up the dining room some!

I hung the art (finally), painted over the bad paint job on the weekend (if you follow me on IG, you saw all of this unfolding), and am on the hunt for a new rug for the space. This floral blue and green combo isn’t doing it for me.

Because this sideboard has been BEGGING for a collection, I felt the trees would look best here. Can you just imagine them al lit up at night, with Bing Crosby playing in the background, and gently falling snow outside? I sure can.

Now that I’ve sampled what the good life looks like when it comes to retro ceramic Christmas trees, I’m hooked! I’ve got all my alerts set, and will be trolling my fave vintage store ASAP for one.

    My mom has a vintage tree. I may need to snag it from her. Funny how things you’ve been looking over at thrift stores for years suddenly become all the rage. Love everything about this!

      My mom never did this kinda decor, so we sadly don’t have any ceramic trees! Lots of other goodies though

      Everyone has been sending me shots of those Target trees! If only we had Target in Canada! I do have to say though, I greatly enjoy thrifting and curating them – especially the story that goes with them.

Instagram post 2192932954456261636_483183181 New boobs - who dis? Pregnancy and now maternity have brought some *interesting* changes to my body. Boobs being the biggest variable. I don’t love them, but hey, they’re part of the gig for now. AD: I’ve been dying to try the @knixwear maternity bra because it’s billed as leakproof, and all my other maternity bras are meh. They sent me one to try, and here’s my review: I like how it shapes and supports them. I look the most “normal” wearing it. The clasp is easy to open and close. I don’t like how the little cups inside aren’t fixed and move around, so when I fold it under during a feeding, I find I have to re-adjust before closing it. All things considered though, it’s the best I’ve tried so far, and the leakproof is true! No leaks.

Instagram post 2190036603598841807_483183181 This is our 3rd year with the white tree, and I love it more and more each year. All my colourful ornaments pop against the white, and it gives off this heavenly glow. Dan pines for a green one (see what I did there?) but I can’t be bothered to clean up all the needles. Do you have an obviously faux tree?
