Our Tinsel Christmas Tree

November 19, 2019~ Christmas

It’s that wonderful, beautiful time of year again – the My Home Style Christmas Tree tour, hosted by Stephanie of Casa Watkins Living. This year I’m sharing our Tinsel Christmas Tree, currently set-up in JB’s colourful nursery.

Check out last year’s Retro Ceramic Christmas Tree Display as part of the tour

Please note and adore that JB is staring at Boots with the biggest smile on her face. She looooves her kitty.

She clearly has mixed thoughts about this person photographing her, especially because she’s wearing a frilly dress and laying on a blue rug. I think we’d all have questions.

Tinsel Christmas Tree

This silver tree was a local purchase from a friend who was looking to lighten her load of vintage Christmas decor. It was kind of fun to assemble, and I could probably make a new one having seen how it all goes together. There may be a new tutorial hitting the blog.

Don’t mind us, just being #extra next to an Anthropologie worthy Christmas display.

Retro and Vintage Christmas Ornaments

In the past year, I’ve decided to keep the trees themselves simple – balls or tear drops only. By using a paired-down style and focusing on colors instead of shapes, I achieve a far more era appropriate look, and get to create a color story of my choosing.

I Instead, I opted to display the more personal and unique ornaments in a bowl. I want to be able to touch them, feel them, and remember all the memories they hold. In the case of JB’s nursery, I’ve got them sprinkled throughout her shelving.

Tree Skirt Displays

I used the tree skirt I sewed last year, and although we’re not giving JB any gifts this year  – she’ll be 4 months old – I did wrap giant bows around several of her toys, and nest them in and amongst some boxes.

I think an equally important part of a Christmas tree display, is what’s going on beneath it. I usually keep it simple, but in the case of a whimsical nursery, I felt the addition of the stuffed animals was totally appropriate.

    This is very pretty! But please remember to keep your kitties away from anything tinsel. We don’t want something bad to happen. 🙁 https://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/poison/tinsel/ https://www.preventivevet.com/cats/the-12-days-of-christmas-pet-hazards-series-day-1-tinsel

      Kitties had a good sniff, but other than that they’re not into it!

      I was SO luck to find this one! Although having seen how it assembled, you could probably make one

    I bought you might might not know that tinsel can be dangerous for cats. If they chew or bite the tinsel it can cause problems in their intestines, such as blockages.

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.
