Retro Tinsel Christmas Tree

November 17, 2020~ Christmas

It’s that time of year again! The retro tinsel Christmas tree is up, and this year it’s in the living room instead of June’s nursery.  The #myhomestyle Christmas tree hop is one of my fave, and I always do whatever I have to, to get a tree up and photographed.

Check out my collected and personal tree, our first year with a retro white Christmas tree, the pink Christmas tree, the retro ceramic Christmas tree sideboard, and last year’s simple tinsel tree.

If you’re joining me from The DIY Mommy,  Jeweled Interiors,  Kate Decorates, Banyan Bridges or Making Home Base – Welcome! Got a retro tinsel Christmas tree? Come see how I decorated mine using vintage and collected glass ornaments.

That’s right our little tinsel Christmas tree is wearing all the family jewels this year! From head to toe, she is dripping in retro glass ornaments, and new/collected glass ornaments.

Retro Tinsel Christmas Tree

I bought this beauty from my friend last year. It’s seen better days, and I’m pretty sure I could DIY a new one (but who has time?!), but this one has seen many Christmases and I’m committed to using it for many more.

Vintage Glass Ornaments

It’s hard for me to link to any of the ornaments because so many are thrifted or vintage, or no longer sold in stores. I don’t throw everything out each season, so a lot of my pieces cary over from one year to the next.

I used almost all of the ornaments from our His & Hers wreaths , and you can find a lot of vintage looking ones in stores and online. 

I find the best ones in thrift stores, and then the really funky ones are currently in stores. Ask your family if they have any!Got a retro tinsel Christmas tree? Come see how I decorated mine using vintage and collected glass ornaments.

Retro Decor with a toddler

So we have a very active toddler. Look away for a second and she’s climbing, running or falling. Part of my motivation for putting the tree a few feet off the floor, was hoping to stave off disaster.

I will put up the white tree in December, but something tells me this year it will just be naked (no ornaments). 

By putting the tree on the sideboard, it gets to be at eye-level (it’s a short tree to begin with), it’s out of reach from June and the pets, and it gets to shine against the wallpaper. Those are all good reasons in my books!

    Love IT!! What a fun little tree 🙂
    I have a much tinier version that I usually leave bare but I might add tiny shiny balls to it this year too.

Today I have the immense please of sharing a few o Today I have the immense please of sharing a few of Seana’s squares. You likely know her as @bellybaila the Glamohemian ✨ I first met her this summer during @albieknows ‘s initiative called #sharethemic and have been IG friends since. I’m compelled by the rich colours, layered spaces and her smart design. It packs a punch and is filled with beautiful pieces by Black artists. What I wouldn’t give to poke around a room of hers and explore everything that we don’t see in photos. Give her a follow for the colours, but stay for her captions ❤️

I keep thinking about the entryway console I made. I keep thinking about the entryway console I made. I was inspired by a Mendl’s box from The Grand Budapest Hotel, and tried to make the furniture equivalent. I think I did it! 
What’s the oddest thing you’ve ever been inspired by? Pretty sure this is mine.

Design only works if it works for you ✨ Looking Design only works if it works for you ✨ Looking back, this setup was optimal for conversation, and assumed that Dan and I would only casually watch TV. That *was* the case until June arrived, and suddenly I was pinned to the couch for many hours a day while pumping and/or breastfeeding, and suddenly it felt off. Add to that, a rolling and crawling toddler, and suddenly there were too many obstacles. Thinking about how our spaces have changed with our needs, really shows how much design has to work for you.

Like her nursery, it may take me a few tries to get it right (first try, pictured here) but now that June’s personality is shining through, it’ll be a good reflection of her.
