I mentioned this last week on my Instagram post…
Hey friends! 😘 I was going through old Christmas pictures and I ran into this picture of my Christmas tree when we first moved into our home 9 years ago. I hear from a lot of friends and clients that they just aren’t very “good” at decorating. This picture is proof that with a bit of interest and time, that a skill can be developed. My first tree was the best I knew how to do at the time. Over the years I would look at many Christmas Trees for ideas, and would dissect all the professionals’ trees I saw during the Christmas Season. I’ve come up with a system that works for me and I’m happy with it. And who knew that years later my tree would end up in a magazine. Goals are real! Shoot for your dreams!!!! 😘❤️🎄 Thank you to all my social media friends, friends around me, and family for all the amazing support you’ve been to me over the years! ❤️
…The Beginning…
This was our very first tree in our new home.
I still own this tree, it has been transformed over the years. I bought this tree from Tai Pan Trading. At that point Tai Pan was a little company. Nothing like it is today 🙂
When we lived In Utah, while going to college we used fresh, short little trees, so buying a fake tall tree was a big deal. Those early years of life were so sweet and less complicated. 16 years later, 4 kids and a household to run, life is so BUSY!
Fast forward a few years and we upgraded to a 9 foot Christmas tree and chose a flocked one. YES…Flocked is MESSY, I won’t deny that. .. but it’s sooo worth the finished look. The first few years with this new tree, I went with a gold and green theme. I loved it, and I really enjoyed the style while I had it!
at the arrival of the flocked tree, I then had an extra christmas tree (my original green one) so I used the 7.5 foot tree in the basement. It turned into the “Kids” tree. I went with something more whimsy and kid-friendly. I came up with a fun Candy Cane theme. I have done this Candy cane tree the last few years, adding a few new elements each year. But…I have to say, this year’s Candy Cane tree (2016) is my favorite. I used a 7.5 flocked tree from Treetopia. All the red and white elements pop even more. You might see it published in Better Homes and Garden Christmas 2017.
NEXT year…I have something else in mind. Can’t wait to execute my plan!!!
2015 was the YEAR of CHRISTMAS TREES! 🙂
I was invited to decorate a Christmas Tree by Treetopia and invited onto their
2015 Treetopia Design Council. Wow!!! What an honor!
I was given a choice of whatever Christmas tree I wanted and I selected this one, a 7.5′ slim cut flocked tree. I came up with a classic Silver and Gold theme. The colors aren’t normally what I usually choose, but I LOVE how it turned out! This year I had a tree on the right and the left of my fireplace. Friends and Neighbors found it interesting when they would visit, haha but it was fun to have such a FESTIVE year.
Oh the design dilemmas of a blogger! 🙂
2015 was the first year that I switched from the Gold and Green tree, to a Red, Silver and White tree!
I loved the green and gold from years past, but I missed not having the classic red color in my christmas decor, so I brought it back in full force! I do have to say, I thought this was my favorite tree I had ever done, up until this year 2016! Can’t wait to share this year’s tree with everyone. I do have to say, I am happy that I don’t have to photograph it. Christmas Trees are HARD to take pictures of!
We have finally made it to this YEAR’S 2016 Christmas Trees!
Since I have to wait for BHG to come to share this years Trees. I thought it would be fun to share the kids individual Christmas trees. I like to decorate each tree to match the kids rooms. This year, I added a new look in the boys room since their bedroom update.
I LOVE the blues and Khakis!

There you have it… My Parade of Trees!
Sending my Love and Hoping you all have a Very Merry Christmas!!!
