Everyone remembers this issue of Blueprint, yes? With the beautiful (not tacky) pink Christmas trees?
Well I’ve gone ahead and ordered a pink Christmas tree of my own. I’m pretty excited!

I love this cover! It actually inspired little tree in my bedroom. Also…I have been totally obsessed with finding that dress ever since it came in the mail, and finally did find something similar on modcloth.com By then it was sold out! What a great magazine though. I’ve saved all of my old issues. Such a shame it’s no longer in print.

Just found your blog tonight and I love it. But when I saw this post I decided we are kindred. After seeing this cover I bought a pink tree for my family. I had it in my boutique for the last 2 christmas’ but it will be in my house next year.
Lovely to find you,
Marcia

LOVE this cover, pink tree, dress, everything. I still have my copy. I subscribed to Blueprint, recieved two copies and then it folded. It was a great magazine!!!
Joy
It made me so mad that people blamed the demise of the magazine on THAT cocer, I LOVE that cover!
Susan
This is one of my favorite of Blueprint’s covers. I put up a little tree in my boys’ room just for them every year, and I would LOVE, when Eleanor has her own room someday, to put up a small tree like this for her. Sigh…
Susan
I saved that issue just because I thought that pink tree was so cool. Blueprint was a great magazine! I hope you post a picture of your pink tree when it is all done and ready.
Laura C
Ah, Blueprint. And Domino. Waaaaaah!
Alanna
Love it! I used this as inspiration for my “Pink Christmas” post! Enjoy it…I just know it’ll look perfect in your pink little house…after all…pink loves pink, too :)

If anyone should have a pink Christmas tree, it’s you, Nicole! I can’t wait to see how you decorate it.
Christa
a color blind husband! what a great idea.
Allison
LOVE! My sister has a 2 foot pink tree and I have one of the same size in silver that I decorated in all silver ornaments!
I’m more interested in that dress. I remember owning that issue but now I can’t find it and I’m pretty sure it had where to find that fabulous garment. :(
Making it Lovely
I couldn’t find any info on the dress unfortunately. I don’t know why it wasn’t listed in the credits.
tula@whorange
You are my hero. What size did you get?
Making it Lovely
Six feet tall. I wanted the 7.5′ version, but I thought it might be too big for the room.
Melissa
I loved that magazine and still look at that issue for Xmas ideas! I am very jealous and can’t wait to see your pink tree!!

I swear, I’ve been kidding to people around me about getting a pink Christmas tree, but haven’t seen any as pretty as this. Can’t wait to see yours :)
onyourbikesunshine
one of their best issues if you ask me.
Miss B.
Lol, I would think you already owned one! I am sure it will look fab.
Aubrey
I wanna know where that dress the cover model is wearing is from! Maybe there’s details on it in the issue, could someone please look for me? It’s gorgeous.
Making it Lovely
I know, I love the dress too. The credits didn’t list it though for some reason.
Sarah
Cute! I hope that you got yours on sale too!
rebecca
Super cool. If i had the right spot for it in my house, i would totally order one. Although… hmm…. with my business name i could squeeze it into my office! LOL
Making it Lovely
You have to get one. ;)

I got ridiculously lucky in November of last year and found basically the same exact tree priced wrong at Goodwill for $3.99! Completely insane, I know- it must have just been my lucky day. We just put it up again: http://img113.yfrog.com/i/br1n.jpg/
Making it Lovely
You got so lucky with that find!
Sara
Eeep! OMG! That is awesome!
claire
I was just thinking about Blueprint today…ohh how I miss that magazine! I have yet to find anything to compare!
Heather
I saw a pink Christmas tree for sale at Borders the other day. It made me smile.
Heather
I wish my husband were as accommodating to my design desires as yours is. Did you choose one who is colorblind, by any chance? Is that the secret?
Cheryl
Oh yes, oh yes! I loved that cover and have kept the issue for inspiration/reference. Can’t wait to see your tree! I’m sure you’ll do it proud…
April Johnson
I always thought about buying a blue tree, but since we’re now painting the walls blue I’m glad I bought a white one. I can’t wait to see your tree decorated. I love how with this pink tree in the magazine it doesn’t have a bunch of crazy doodads, but it doesn’t look empty.
southern hostess
Yes! I’ve wanted a pink tree ever since I saw that issue. You’re an inspiration! :)
katieO
I was so inspired by that particular cover of Blueprint and I (too) HAD to have a pink tree! About to pull it out and decorate, for the 3rd year in a row! Can’t wait to see what you do with yours!

Making it Lovely
Thanks!
Michelle
So pretty! I love when people do something out of the norm with holiday decorating. Thumbs up indeed. Can you have your husband have a talk with my husband about the color pink being an acceptable color in our home’s decor?
Carolyn
Really quite fab! Not everyone can pull it off but you can!
katrina
wow. that look exactly like the tree on the cover of the blueprint.
mint&honey
yes! i still have this issue and i’m still obsessed with the tree!
Meg
Just wondering, does your husband ever get tired of the pink? I love the tree by the way.
Making it Lovely
Nope, I have the best husband. ;)
Live a Colorful Life
It’s beautiful. And I love the clear iridescent ornaments. Looking forward to seeing yours decorated!
