Our Christmas Tree

December 6, 2016

disclosure

I’ve been so excited to decorate our Christmas tree this year. I find that it always sets the tone for our home, and starts me on my path for decorating the rest of the house. This year, I had the opportunity to decorate our Christmas tree with the help of Gordmans! I shopped in store for the perfect items that would enhance our tree! I found just what I was looking for! 🙂

As I was shopping the tree ornaments, garland and trimmings, I found a constant, fun theme, which I think is a must for any Christmas tree. I decided on a natural, woodland theme. Lots of pinecones, berries, snowy elements and plenty of red, gold and white!

I’m really loving big bulbs and ornaments this year (swoon!), so I bought a wide variety of them!

I loved the red bead garland and the white pinecone garland! Together, they sing!

You also know if you’ve followed the blog for a few years now, that I love real Christmas trees. Yes, they drop needles. Yes, they’re a little messy. Yes, they take more maintenance…. but they are so worth it! The house smells amazing, the needles are bright and vibrant and I love the shape and texture!

And to enhance the texture of the tree, I decided to add a few red berry floral picks. I found them at Gordmans, and sporadically stuck them in the tree. They added the perfect pop of red!

And even though we place the tree in a wood box Anthony made a few years ago, I still wanted to add a tree skirt around the base. I found this fluffy, faux fur tree skirt at Gordmans and love the soft texture it adds to the tree…

I also grabbed the metal basket on my shopping trip, knowing it would be a great place to store and display wrapped gifts!

So there you have it, our Christmas tree all decorated for the season! I had so much fun shopping for all the trimmings, and then decorating when I got home! I’ll be back to share even more Christmas decorating, indoors and out, plus a few fun projects and some shopping gift lists!

I can’t wait to show you more! In the meantime, stop by your local Gordmans store to shop their selection of Christmas décor, home items and more! Their low prices and great selection will have you hooked! 🙂

    It looks terrific. I tried to find the metal basket which is next to the presents but I could not locate it on the site. Can you provide any additional information? Thanks.

      Thank you so much, Sandy! The basket can probably be found in stores. I’m sorry that’s not more helpful. 🙁

    LOVE your colour combo for my tree! Red and white are my faves for Christmas, usually with some silver as well. And that white pinecone garland is just beautiful!

Instagram post 17877687346486071 We are loving the evening glow from our Christmas tree! Today on the blog, I’m sharing all the details on our tree and the different steps and layers I used to create it. It’s such a beautiful addition to our living room. 🎄

Instagram post 17855703316617271 Happy Saturday! We’re installing more interior doors and trim today! What a big difference it makes! This fixer upper of ours has been making some big progress lately. 😍 
Throwback to my last house... but our new doors will look similar to these!

Instagram post 17856780565609483 Our new flocked Christmas tree arrived and I spent the afternoon setting it up and fluffing the branches. It’s such a tedious job, especially on a new tree, but it’s worth it! 
I’ve been trying to decide how I wanted to decorate this year, and while I was “fluffing”, I think I finally decided. And now I’m excited. 😬🎄 This lovely picture is from my last house, all decorated for Christmas. 😍

Instagram post 17842824415781814 On the blog, I’m talking all about designing and purchasing our IKEA cabinets. We still have a little ways to go before we “officially” have the cabinets completely installed and finished... and then we have all the other things we need to add, like a custom vent hood, backsplash and open shelves, just to name a few, but if you’re wanting to use IKEA cabinets, today’s post will give you a good idea of what to expect!

Instagram post 17859897157563074 I’ve been on the hunt for a new flocked Christmas tree since this beautiful tree is waay too tall for our 8’ ceilings... and I don’t want to look like Clark Griswold with my tree stuffed in the corner about to burst through the window. 💁🏼‍♀️ Sooo... I searched high and low to find the best flocked Christmas trees. There are some seriously beautiful trees... and after getting our tape measure out, we finally picked our new tree and it should be here this week! 🎄

If you’re looking for a new tree, be sure to head to the blog... I’ve organized them by size to make it easy! 👍🏻 #thewoodgraincottage #thewgc #christmasdecor #christmastree #flockedchristmastree #ontheblog
