Our Elegant Christmas Tree

An Elegant Christmas Tree!

A Look At Our Elegant Christmas Tree This Year!

This happens to be a post I look forward to so much each year… It is when I share a look at our Christmas tree and I get so excited to be creative and open our home to you! This year I went with a classic, elegant Christmas tree. I am joining Kristen at Ella Claire & Co. as we share all of our Christmas trees and there are so many beautiful ideas to enjoy…

I have been sharing a lot this season how we are saving for our future home, so this was a no spend for Christmas decorating over here.

And I have to tell you, it was really refreshing to use what we had and be resourceful as well. I don’t spend a ton each year, but I will usually grab some fun new things to add to our decor…

And this time I even used up all the old wrapping paper we had on hand!

Of course there was more than enough to choose from and decorate with, there always is.

I painted these candy canes from silver to gold and they fit in perfect!

I wanted a bit of muted color so I chose rusty reds and muted greens to hang up using what I had from last year’s tree…

Sparkly paper and ribbons really complete the whole look.

All of the bulbs are from year’s past and some were even collected from the Dollar Store.

Everything shimmers and shines and makes my heart so happy…

A Christmas tree really makes a space feel warm and inviting!

And get ready because you can expect to see lots of bokah lights in the future here ;)… In all seriousness, I hope this inspires you this season to get creative (whether you are using new or old) as we decorate for the most special time of year.

Thanks so much for visiting with me and don’t forget to visit my sweet friends down below!

    You always have a beautiful tree and this year is no exception. I’ve always wondered if your tree is artificial or if you use a real tree. It’s perfect.

      Shelly that was the kindest compliment, thank you so much! I have always used an artificial tree but have wanted to do a real one… Maybe one day!

    Hi! Beautiful tree! I’ve been looking for a “gappy” unflocked tree and just don’t know what to look for…may I ask, which tree is this? I have some large ornaments and have learned via IG that the gappy trees allow the ornaments to shine. Your tree has achieved just the look I’ve want. If you don’t mind sharing I’d appreciate the information or a link.

    Thanks

      Hi Kemberly!
      Thank you so much! I am happy to share, this tree was from Terrain and they seem to have updated the style a bit this year… They have the unlit version which looks a bit closer to mine here I think… I hope that helps!

      I meant to add that mine was from a few years ago, but that they still carry something similar it seems =).

    Thank you very much…I didn’t even know about this company, they have several nice trees that seem quite affordable compared to other companies. If I were to find one similar to yours, am I looking at the Celtic, Frazier, Norway Spruce, Alpine?? This is where my confusion comes in………I am been collecting ornaments for 25 years!! Way too many I know….I like your idea of taking a year and using what you have and spending nothing. I think I will do that after I find a few trees that really showcase my collection. Thanks for you help, Kemberly

We added the easiest DIY fountain to this area (sh We added the easiest DIY fountain to this area (shared it in stories today) and I can’t tell you enough how nice it is to hear that pretty little sound 🎵 ... I love wind chimes, chirping birds and dripping fountains... So you can imagine how fun it has been to be inside with the windows open and hearing all if those noises at once 💕. This could be a project that would be easily done with inexpensive pieces and makes a big impact for your outdoor space. Speaking of outdoor spaces, I shared ours all ready for summer up on the blog along with my friends. Come check it out if you need some easy ideas!
One bathroom for 4 people can be tricky... 🤪 Bu One bathroom for 4 people can be tricky... 🤪 But in stories I am sharing some tips and tricks for storage in a small bathroom like ours! I am talking about how we use drawers, but try to keep things pretty/functional at the same time... Come check it out and see how we think outside the box when it comes to this space! One of my new favorite tips comes from these 100% Cotton Turkish towels we were gifted from @theloomia! Not only are they pretty, they are large, but save space at the same time... You’ll have to go see what I mean in my stories, see you there! And @theloomia is offering 15% off when you use the code - Zevyjoy15 💕
I am currently working on Everly’s dollhouse and I am currently working on Everly’s dollhouse and adding some fun wall treatments/trim... I only wish real size home DIY’s were as simple as popsicle sticks and wood glue 😂! Come see what I mean on stories... But I did grab some fresh flowers for the yard and shared how I simply decorate for this favorite season of mine, summer ☀️ . It’s all up on the blog and I am joining my friends too so come say hello 💕
I listened to your votes in stories and this old t I listened to your votes in stories and this old thrifted mirror got a few coats of “Play it Cool” (the color I had on hand from our kitchen cabinets 😉). And this hallway is finally done 🎉! Here is a little before and after... The board and batten design is from @anitayokota after I saw how she used it in her pretty bedroom I knew this would put a fun modern spin in the hallway. Some fresh paint, an affordable vintage rug and updated lighting completed this long dark space. Covering popcorn ceilings will come next, but I hope this shows how a little trim and paint go a long way when working on spaces! 🌿
This past week was a time to listen and prayerfully learn. My eyes were opened and my heart convicted to speak up and to do better... While I begin to share my content here, I will strive to move forward for change and find ways to support black lives here and at home.
Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawils Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawilson.msrd for more about this movement. My feed will be muted here as I listen and learn. I will be in stories sharing resources that support black lives. #amplifymelanatedvoices
Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out dressed sorta matching this morning 😂 This girl knows what she likes and asked to have her pink room transformed with blue... And you know when you give a mouse a cookie... 🍪 (Clearly I am the mouse 🐭 in this story 🤣) We finished up the new bead-board wall (I have trim touch up to do still) and then we are finishing spraying her little desk this afternoon. A couple vintage pieces are on the way, but otherwise I have been shopping the house for this little makeover. It’s all still in progress, but getting closer! And you all... This room is small!! So I am going to share how we tackle storage in this space so stay tuned in stories... 💕
Ever since I was little I can remember my dad tell Ever since I was little I can remember my dad telling me (who is a contractor/designer) the importance of using 3’s 💕. Now as I have made our own home, I almost always use the rule of 3’s whenever I am decorating. That goes for coffee tables, nightstands and more... I’m talking all about it and showing you some examples in stories today! And even more fun is that @boutiquerugs is offering 60% off with the code - ZEVYJOY60 ! This is the new rug we added from their collection to our bedroom here! So enjoy and have fun looking around at all their pretty selections... #boutiquerugspartner
You all know how I feel about pillows by now, don’t you?! 😂 Well in case you don’t... I think they are the best! They pull a space together affordably and make things cozy of course! You can trade them out or just keep adding to them (which is what I like to do 😉). And let’s face it, you can never have too many... Am I right? They are your artistic canvas in home decor and in my opinion there aren’t many rules to follow in the fun of mixing and matching them either! 🌿
Best of all, I’ve teamed up with 7 talented accounts to share how we used pillows to style our spaces. Head on over and check out what they’ve done... @thegingerhome
