    One of my favorite Christmas tree ideas! I actually found a small pink tree a few years ago and have been looking for the perfect spot to put it. Congrats on your find!

    I love that tree. I have a three foot pink tree I use in my studio. I love it. I think they can definitely be tasteful.

    I have this issue (sooo miss that magazine) and still fantasize about that tree! I had a pink tree when I was little in my bedroom and one day will have one in my home somewhere! Can’t wait to see your take on it!

    I loved that magazine. It was so sad to see it end.
    You will have a great and wonderful Christmas with such a lively tree.

    i looooove pink christmas trees – lucky you! my husband wouldn’t agree on a pink one but i got him to settle on a white one instead :)

    oooh I love it, I’ve loved it for so long I’m so happy you’re getting it!

    It’s beautiful. And I love the clear iridescent ornaments. Looking forward to seeing yours decorated!

    Just wondering, does your husband ever get tired of the pink? I love the tree by the way.

    1. Making it Lovely Avatar

      Nope, I have the best husband. ;)

  21. mint&honey Avatar

    yes! i still have this issue and i’m still obsessed with the tree!

  22. katrina Avatar

    wow. that look exactly like the tree on the cover of the blueprint.

  23. Carolyn Avatar

    Really quite fab! Not everyone can pull it off but you can!

  24. Michelle Avatar

    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?

    I always loved that “Blueprint” cover! Pink Christmas tree = awesome!

  27. katieO Avatar

    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!

  28. southern hostess Avatar

    Yes! I’ve wanted a pink tree ever since I saw that issue. You’re an inspiration! :)

  29. April Johnson Avatar

    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.

    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…

    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?

    I saw a pink Christmas tree for sale at Borders the other day. It made me smile.

    Eeep! OMG! That is awesome!

    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/

      You got so lucky with that find!

  36. rebecca Avatar

    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

    1. Making it Lovely Avatar

      You have to get one. ;)

    Cute! I hope that you got yours on sale too!

    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.

    1. Making it Lovely Avatar

      I know, I love the dress too. The credits didn’t list it though for some reason.

  39. Miss B. Avatar

    Lol, I would think you already owned one! I am sure it will look fab.

  40. onyourbikesunshine Avatar

    one of their best issues if you ask me.

    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 :)

  42. Melissa Avatar

    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!!

  43. tula@whorange Avatar

    You are my hero. What size did you get?

    1. Making it Lovely Avatar

      Six feet tall. I wanted the 7.5′ version, but I thought it might be too big for the room.

    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. :(

    1. Making it Lovely Avatar

      I couldn’t find any info on the dress unfortunately. I don’t know why it wasn’t listed in the credits.

    If anyone should have a pink Christmas tree, it’s you, Nicole! I can’t wait to see how you decorate it.

  47. Alanna Avatar

    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 :)

    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.

  50. Susan Avatar

    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…

  51. Joy Avatar

    It made me so mad that people blamed the demise of the magazine on THAT cocer, I LOVE that cover!

    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!!!

  53. […] it’s dark by four and there’s holiday music playing everywhere. I start dreaming about the pink tree from the cover of Blueprint (some day!) Isn’t it time for pancakes with holly berries on […]

    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

    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.
