Rustic Chic Christmas Tree, Blog Hop & Sweepstakes – Click to Tweet

---

Back to my tree… 

It has been exciting, yet challenging, trying to figure out how to decorate this year in my new home especially since there are many areas that still need to be updated and changed to suit our style. However, one of the things we love most about our new home are the 2 stone fireplaces. So I decided to go with what I like to call a “Rustic Chic Christmas” look this year.

I wanted to keep things simple and neutral with little pops of red here and there.

Treetopia provided me with this gorgeous  Balsam Spruce Christmas Tree.

It is 8 feet tall and is pre-lit with clear lights. It’s so full and I love how it already comes with an ON/OFF foot pedal so you don’t have to plug and unplug the tree every time.

I decided to not use a tree skirt this year and go with a tree collar instead. I found mine at Hayneedle. They have since holdout of this particular style, but these are still available.

I love the natural element it brings and I don’t have to worry about the kids getting “tangled” on the skirt as they hang out around the tree.

I wanted my ornaments to be mostly white with little pops of red throughout.

You can purchase several of my ornaments here.

And if you have joined me for my previous Halloween and Christmas in July posts, you know that I love making my own decorations for my trees and this one was no different.

I had several mini embroidery hoops that I decorated with some holiday greenery, ribbon and hot glue.

I separated the hoops, removed stems from a cute mistletoe greenery bush and hot-glued away.

 

They turned out perfect!

And then of course I had to get my little decorating committee in on some fun. They love this time of year and appreciate being involved.

 

This gorgeous wreath was also from Treetopia and it is the Winter Harvest 24″ wreath.

The white and natural elements like the pine cones looked perfect alongside the Christmas tree decor. I also managed to find some decor from the previous year in order to fill my bookshelves.

 

The star stand on the mantle and the deer head silhouette artwork were also DIY’s and you can see how I made those here. 

 

I think my rustic chic christmas tree came together perfectly.
