Today I’m taking you on a Holiday Home Tour of my home. Throughout the day I will be posting about different areas and Christmas decorations in my home. First up is my Christmas tree!
I have an absolute ton of Christmas ornaments ranging from my childhood through adulthood. It’s a total hodge podge of ornaments that spark tons of memories for me. The past couple of year I have been worried to put them all up with my very rambunctious son running around. So this year I decided to take a different approach and to try something new!
So I started out with a real Noble Fur tree….I am so in love with them! I wanted to go with a natural and vintage feel. I found some really awesome burlap ribbon that I knew needed to be used someway, somehow. I also found some “Happy Holidays” and sheet music ribbon as well that I loved.
I tied a big bow for the top of the tree with the “Happy Holidays” ribbon. There was quite a bit of left over ribbon so I cut strips and placed them throughout the tree. I then attached the other ribbons to the tree and draped them across the tree, making bows along the way. I kept the ornaments minimal and simple, sticking with a variety of silver and sparkly ones!
I made my hubby drag in this old metal bucket that I had outside in my garden. I put the tree inside of the metal bucket instead of using a tree skirt. I absolutely love it and the rustic feel it adds to the tree.
So what do you think of my tree???
Linking up to these great link parties!!!
How fun, rustic and unique. I love the worded ribbon.
LOVE the bucket idea. So nice!!
love the metal bucket!!! So clever!
I love that Happy Holiday ribbon. I just saw it this morning on another blog where she used it on a wreath. Super cute. You’re so talented.
I love your tree. The ribbon is amazing.
What a wonderful tree–I adore the printed ribbon and the bucket!

I found it at a local craft store called Beverly’s.
Thank you Courtney, unfortunately that store is only in California and I’m in Chicago.
