I decided that this year I would change up our Christmas Decor.
(I'm fibbing I do that almost every year!)
This one had red feather boas all over and a red and green theme.
This is for the retro 50's tree. Turquoise and red.
And this was preparing the Grinch tree!
We have had most every style tree you can imagine. We went through the shabby chic phase, the gold and glitter phase, traditional red and green, a little bit country, vintage creamy colors and crystals, and Yes even the Grinch tree. Real ones, artificial ones, indoor, outdoor and even in the bathrooms! Chandeliers festooned with ribbons, crystals, and ornaments. It's the one time of year when... MORE IS NOT ENOUGH!
We all know how popular "farmhouse" has been, so we decided to try that style this year. My elf was working to put together a wooden tree collar. I will stain and paint it with a stencil or two. I realized I can paint more than one stenciled message since the box has four sides!
And Since we are doing sort of a Farmhouse effect, I will paint and decorate our Chicken Wire Tree as well. I will use our Dixie Belle paints as a base and decide what to do when that is dry. I have a few ideas rattling around. We have 4, 8 and 16 oz jars of Dixie Belle Paints, plus glazes and clear coat.
We downsized our tree this year and it is a 7' slim profile artificial tree (we have two - one for the Family room and one for the Pool room). Therefore to accommodate the base of the tree the wood collar is 20 inches square with an open bottom. The corners were reinforced with 1 x 1 pieces halfway up the interior sides.
A personalized stencil was created on the Silhouette. The EST. year we were married was added, what fun!
Thanks for stopping by, we enjoy your comments!
