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.

Placing colours and textures in contrast scratches an itch, and then appreciating it all on a daily basis is even better.

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.
