Retro Pink Christmas Tree

November 23, 2018~ Christmas, dining room, House Tour

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! The time when I finally unveil my masterpiece aka the tree for the first time. I’ve had a tree up in the studio since before Halloween! But I’ve only just unboxed my retro pink Christmas tree from Treetopia! Setting it up in the dining room was the kick in the pants I needed to get the dining room up to scratch.

Check out last year’s Retro White Christmas Tree

*Treetopia sponsored this post, but all thoughts are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that make PMQ for two possible.

Christmas tree, O Christmas tree! Your pink beauty amazes me. Come see where I got a marvellous retro pink Christmas tree, and why I went with white ornaments!

Now, after last year’s tree, and my well known love of colour, is it any wonder that this year I got a coloured tree? I did briefly consider a green tree (maybe flocked?) but when Treetopia gave me a choice of any tree from their massive collection, I immediately jumped at the chance to get a pink one – because, duh.

I got the Pretty in Pink Tree 7.5′ with Pink Lights to be precise. I would chosen the clear lights option, but something told me to go with the pink! You’ll have to track me on my IG stories to see what it looks like at night, all lit up.

Let’s all agree to overlook the rug on display in this post. We’ve got a similar situation to our Living Room (plywood under the rug), and I haven’t found my replacement yet. So in the meantime, this dated beauty will have to do the trick.

The dining room is the first thing you see when you walk in the front door, so having the tree angled in a way that you ca immediately see it, was super important to me (and Bruce).

Because the tree is such a lovely shade of pink, I didn’t want to mess around with too many other colours. In a completely uncharacteristic move, I used only white decorations on the tree! I even added silver tinsel for that extra retro feel for our pink Christmas tree.

So far, none of the cats tried to eat the tinsel (and I haven’t found any strewn around the house), so y’all can chill when it comes to the warnings. Boots is absolutely captivated by the tree though.

I do LOVE the view of the tree from the kitchen. This house is absolutely a home in progress, so as we live through the seasons, I get to experience all its quirks and quarks – like how this doorway (and our chandelier) frame the tree perfectly. Would you believe that this is the view from the kitchen counter? What a difference a year makes.

As you can see, we’ve kept the dining room fairly simple for now. I only just painted the walls the other night (Behr’s Rice Curry MQ4-9 from the Marquee Line)! Until we figure out what’s happening with the flooring and the two alcoves on either side of the chimney bump-out, this lovely scene will have to do!

Boots just loves the tree. He sits under it in the evenings – nestled between the lower branches and the furry tree skirt. Toby has joined him a grand total of one time so far, but the season is young.

    Love what you did with your pink tree. Mine is still sitting in it’s box in the garage. I hope to get to it this weekend — or at least open the box and see what it looks like. The white is a great choice. I was actually going to put black and gold on mine, but I will probably try out a few things before I decide. I only got one that’s 3 ft (I am getting lazy in my old age). BTW I think your rug actually looks kind of cool with the tree!

      I think black and gold would look great! It all depends on the hue of the tree. This one read a little dark, so white was needed to balance it out ya know?

    Once again, so impressed with your ability to jump outside the traditional decor. I love pink, but don’t know if I could talk Seet Sweet Shark into a pink tree. Love the soft color.

I made some felt hand puppets for June, and they’re totes adorbs, and a great way to include more skin tones in your child’s play. Head to the blog to see how I made ours ❤️

I am this week’s feature on the @littleyellowcou I am this week’s feature on the @littleyellowcouch podcast and I gotta say - FAN 👏🏻 GIRL 👏🏻 MOMENT. I had been listening since there were 2 hosts, and really got into it when I went full time with the blog during our first year posted to Gagetown. I found my colourful voice, and started making things like this beautiful glossy blue sideboard. 
There wasn’t really anyone else doing “colour” my way in the decor space at that time (everything was white farmhouse). And while there are definitely many more who do it now (and who do it better!), I’ll never forget the freedom I felt when no one was watching what I did. It has been so incredibly bittersweet watching new accounts lap me in a matter of months (and oh so humbling), but I like to think I’m exactly where I need to be. 
My growth has been slow by today’s standards, and I’m ok with it. I still get to do what I love. 
So, if you’ve been following me since then, the very beginning, or last week - stick around! Let’s see what the next stage is like.
