We’ll Have a Pink Christmas

Our home has been lovingly bedecked for the holidays.

I’ve already shown you what the tree looks like undecorated…

And I gave you a little glimpse of it with ornaments…

Now I have the rest of our tree, and a few other holiday decorations to show you.

A white dove rests near the top.

Presents are nestled in below.

A sparkly pillow sits on the couch.

Stockings have been hung from the dining room buffet.

Our deer are out, as always.

I’ve even decorated the light in the dining room (inspired by Brooke).

Really, I can’t believe I hesitated to buy the pink Christmas tree. It fits in so perfectly here.

A Glimpse

The pink tree has been decorated. I’ll share more photos soon…

The Pink Christmas Tree is Here

I love it.

I do wish the lights were clear, but I can change them eventually. At night, the hot pink lights take the tree from kooky and fun to over-the-top bordello! Also, the 7.5′ version would have been a better height, but it would have been far too wide for the room. We ordered the medium-sized “wooden” tree stand you see in the photo, hoping that it would add some height. We only got a few extra inches from it, but it does look nicer than the wire stand that came with the tree.

I can’t wait to see what the tree looks like when it’s all decked out with ornaments!

Christmas Wreath

Brandon bought a wreath from a boy scout that came to our door last month. Isn’t that sweet? When it arrived though, I could see it needed a little help. It came with a smooshed plastic red bow and two pine cones.

I ordered a set of vintage silver bells after Laura posted them on the SCOOP, and I figured they would do nicely in the center of the wreath.

I added a silver bow and the two pine cones back in and hung it from a silver ribbon. The whole thing could have used a little more fussing, but I fixed it up and had it hanging within fifteen minutes. I had to work quickly!

Pink Christmas Tree

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!

Oh Deerie Me

Remember the white ceramic deer I stole from our apartment’s attic before we moved? The little guys I drag out each Christmas, even though they’re of dubious taste?

Apparently I was on to something. If you liked them (and you may be in the minority on that), you can now buy your own! Lucky you.
