    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 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 :)

    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 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!

  • southern hostess
    November 28, 2009 at 12:59 pm

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

    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.

  • Cheryl
    November 28, 2009 at 2:00 pm

    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…

  • 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?

  • Heather

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

    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/

    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

  • Sarah

    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.

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

    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.

  • Allison
    November 30, 2009 at 4:34 pm

    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.

    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.

  • Susan
    December 2, 2009 at 2:12 pm

    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…

    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!!!

    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,

    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.
