Pretty in pink Christmas

December 14, 2020 by Fotini Filed Under: 14 meals, 16, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 25 Days of Christmas, 27 West & Co., 4th of July, Christmas tree, diy

Hey friend! I have been sharing little peeks of my office pretty in pink Christmas tree for a couple weeks now. Today I’m sharing all the details!

It is one of my favorites! It is simple, feminine, pink, sparkly & allll the feels. The tree is a 6.5 foot black & gold ombre tree. It has been such a fun tree to decorate because it is so multi-functional.

*See it decorated below:

I started off with some easy DIY ornaments I made years ago using small inexpensive store frames & adding scripture print in them. Check out the tutorial HERE. Next, I began adding in glittery ornaments & mercury glass balls in silver & white. I absolutely love working with pinks, champagnes & all the neutrals! It truly makes for a stunning combination!

Time for fillers! I used glittery stems, glittered eucalyptus, white eucalyptus, glittery ferns & such. Fillers bring your tree to life & give it so much character! I love using big, whimsy stems that droop & hang. My favorite touch to this pretty in pink Christmas tree design, is the velvet poinsettias I snagged from Hobby Lobby for half off!

It is truly the perfect addition to my office! I love looking at it & hope to keep it up for awhile! Even after the new year!

Thank you so much for stopping by & I hope to see you back here again soon!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, isn’t it? One of my absolute favorite times of the year to decorate! I can honestly say, that I (at least ponder) multiple times throughout the year what my Christmas design will be that year! This year I literally could-not-wait to decorate! I caved the week before my Holiday open house and went for it! I’m so happy I did! I am just in love with how it all came together!

We will begin the tour with my entry way. Very simple, neutral decor here. I can easily add some color by adding a bowl of bulbs or throw pillow!

Happy Friday! This is the last Friday before Christmas, can you believe it?
I’m having a hard time grasping it! I feel like it has flown by!! 
The next few days is going to be pretty exciting around here and I must say, I’m really looking forward to it! Do you have any special traditions that you do with your family and/or friends? We will be hosting our 2nd Annual Christmas Party! 
Let’s check out the incredible images that have inspired me this week!

1. This smocked Christmas tree it to die for! I just love it ♥ It’s the perfect combination and has the perfect ambiance of the outdoor feel with the berries and pinecones. The details are just perfection. I love the vintage postcards. How special would it be to incorporate family memories using this concept! Not to mention, I’m totally in love with using over-sized baskets to hold presents!!
2. I’m just in love with this banner! It is such a simple concept, but I think it really makes a statement! I was also completely sold when I found out it’s covered in glitter, love!! You can easily add your favorite banner to your Christmas tree decor for that perfect flare!
3. Neutral, rustic Christmas gorgousness. Did that make sense to you, it did to me 😉 I love the keepsake ornaments covering every inch of the tree! That’s one of my favorite parts about decorating our tree each year, is pulling out our annual Christmas ornaments, ornaments the kids have made, or ornaments we’ve received as gifts! It makes our tree so special every Christmas!
4. This is such a beautiful Christmas design with lots of neutral tones and pops of red! I’m swooning over the deer head over the mantel ♥ Although I love our Christmas decor this year, I think next year I will incorporate small hints of red, it just doesn’t feel the same without it!!

Christmas Tree

December 10, 2012 by Fotini Filed Under: Christ, Christmas, Christmas printable, Christmas tree, the birth of Jesus

Here’s a super cute printable I made to resemble a Christmas Tree! Do you know the story behind the Christmas tree? Here’s a great representation of what it’s said to signify… “Many pagan cultures worshiped evergreens, saw them as symbols of immortality, and used them to ward off evil spirits. In the early 700’s, Saint Boniface, who converted the German people to Christianity, demolished the Oak of Thor, the mighty sacred tree worshiped by the Saxons. From its roots grew a fir tree which Boniface took as a sign of the Christian faith. In the 11th century, Paradise plays portrayed the tree of Paradise, decorated with red apples. During the 15th century  the faithful began to erect trees in their homes on December 24, the feast day of Adam and Eve. About the year 1500, Martin Luther, inspired by a snow covered fir tree, brought a small tree indoors and decorated it with candles in honor of Christ’s birth. By the 18th century, the custom of decorating a Christmas tree was well established in France, Germany, and Austria. Thus, the Christmas tree represents the original Tree of Paradise, the burning bush which spoke to Moses, the branch of Jesse from which Jesus was born, the life-giving tree of the cross of Christ, and the tree which St. John the Apostle saw in the Book of Revelations whose leaves have medicine for the people and which yields fruit each month for the healing of the nations. Because it is green year-round, the evergreen tree represents hope. Its needles and its narrow crest point upward, turning our thoughts to heaven. Because the tree is cut down and then erected again, it is a symbol of Christ’s resurrection. Lord, may I see Christmas trees as a sign of hope and as reminders of the many trees that figure in salvation history. I thank You, Lord, for turning the tree of Adam and Eve’s sin into the tree of life through the cross of Christ. Because of the tree on which Christ died, You have given us the promise of eternal life. We praise you forever. Amen. “{source}

1. How stunning is this rustic Christmas tree? It dons custom tag ornaments with old family pictures and/or Bible verses, etc. I LOVE this idea, and have my own version I will be sharing with you next week!!
2. I adore this glitter reindeer silhouette from Crazy Wonderful! Be sure to head over and take a look at her entire entry way, it’s stunning!! 
3. These “snow” covered white pine cones and with pops of red really caught my eye! This would look stunning hanging on my front door!
4. Love the simple-ness, yet sophistication of this living room! Perfect!

Our Christmas Tree 2012

November 29, 2012 by Fotini Filed Under: burlap, burlap garland, Christmas, Christmas decor, Christmas tree, home decor 6 Comments

I’m like a kid when it comes to decorating for Christmas, I LOVE it! I tend to use red, white and silver. This year I decided to use burlap wired ribbon for the garland. I think it breaks it up nicely and goes well with the rest of my rustic decor!

Unfortunately, I won’t be putting any presents under the tree until Christmas Eve, because there’s a very busy 19 month old running around here and I know they won’t last… I’m still trying to convince my husband to put a tree up in our room and I could wrap the presents and keep them there, we’ll see if that happens 😉
Well, lets get to it already, here’s my tree this year!
