A new Christmas tree has been on my wish list for a long time now. Preferably a white Christmas tree.
I always think the scale of a tree is so important if you want to make an impact. My motto is “go big or go home.” But while our last tree nailed the grand scale I wanted, it just didn’t look… real.
The more I had to photograph the tree for my blog, the less I liked it. From a distance with my eyes squinted it looked great! But a close-up photograph does not lie. The tips looked fake, and I couldn’t get the fullness and fluffiness I wanted from the branches, either – it looked kind of sparse, no matter how I dressed it.
These are definitely first world problems. Which is why I put up with my old tree for many, many years. It was purchased in a post-Christmas sale for a pittance, and it served us nicely for well over a decade.
But as a die-hard Christmas loving gal, my secret dream of a full, fluffy, realistic-looking, dreamy white Christmas tree would not die.
Which is why when I came across the company Balsam Hill, I felt a little spark and an undeniable flutter.
Is it too weird to use romantic analogies for an artificial tree? Because if there was a Tinder for Christmas trees, I would’ve swiped right for these ones.
The photos I kept seeing all looked amazing. They were so full! They were so fluffy! They had so many tips and the tips looked so…. so real! What was this magic and how did they do it?
I didn’t know, but I wanted one.
And now that it’s here, I’ve fallen hard.
My new white Christmas tree from Balsam Hill is everything I ever dreamed of. We’ve moved past the Tinder stage and now we’re in a committed long-term relationship and very happy together. And I’m in the nauseating honeymoon stage of telling everyone exactly how in love I am.
Lucky you, you get to listen! I mean, just take a look at this beauty…
I know you must have all the details, so here they are!
I chose the Mount Washington White Christmas tree. It’s 210cm tall and pre-lit with clear LED lights. The fairy lights are quite magical – they are scattered perfectly throughout the tree, all the way through the fullness of the branches and not just on the outside.
I feel like my life has changed significantly for the better now that I no longer have to begin the month of December by untangling a rat’s nest of fairy lights from the garage and trying to wrangle them around the tree.
I was never very good at this part. In fact, some years our tree remained unlit altogether because it all seemed like too much effort.
These built-in lights give the tree a beautiful luminescent glow. The tree came in three sections, and it has an “Easy Plug” system so that as you slide the poles into place, the lights in the next section click on automatically.
I did not know this would happen and it was a nice surprise that made me very happy. Obviously invented by magical elves.
The tree looks even better and more realistic than the photos gave credit for.
Look at the fine detailing on these tips. There are actually three different types of tips on the Mount Washington tree, and together they create the perfect combination of full + fluffy + realistic.
It is so full that you wouldn’t even need to decorate it, really. It would actually look beautiful naked, with just those twinkling lights.
Sorry, sorry, TMI, I shouldn’t have said it would look good naked. I told you we’re still in the honeymoon phase. I’ll try to be more discreet.
As I mentioned, I’ve loved white Christmas trees for a very long time. There is just something so pure and fresh and magical about them.
And from a decorating point of view, they are a dream! – the clean high contrast of white means it’s so easy to make a statement with any colour scheme you choose.
Balsam Hill supplied me with the most beautiful ornaments to decorate this tree with. I fell in love with the Georgetown ornament set. They are hand-painted glass ornaments and they are simply exquisite.
The shades of indigo, copper and turquoise look absolutely stunning against my white Christmas tree. Each piece is unique and there is such a variety – from gem-encrusted baubles to jewel-like prisms and elegant finials. I used two sets of ornaments to cover the tree.
I also selected these stunning indigo magnolia picks, which came in a set of 12. The petals are lush and velvety with gilded edges, and they come in a loose bud that you unfurl and shape. I just love them!
The gold berries are another set of picks which you can find here. I love the texture and movement they add to my white Christmas tree.
Balsam Hill also supplied this luxurious faux fur tree skirt.
I feel like a real adult now that my tree has a skirt.
No more sitting on the floor for my gifts, no way. We are fancy around here. Our gifts sit upon the softest fur.
They may be poked and prodded by the grimy fingers of multiple curious children, but they shall not touch the ground, no sirree.
Speaking of curious children with grimy fingers…
I had a “helper”.
Oh, he was EXTREMELY helpful.
In case you’re wondering, yes, two years old is a FABULOUS age for “helping” Mummy decorate a tree with very expensive glass ornaments. I highly recommend it. It is not stressful AT ALL.
Please note the red bucket full of balls in the next photo, which Charlie was flinging randomly around the room at this point while I desperately tried to intercept any missiles heading in the direction of My Precious One And Only.
(I’m talking about the tree here, not the child.)
Okay, he’s precious too. Although my appreciation for his preciousness was somewhat lacking at this point, at least until I bribed him with a movie and a bowl of snacks to STAY AWAY FROM THE TREE.
There is a reason that I set this tree up at my parent’s place and not my own.
They only live 5 minutes down the road, and My Precious white Christmas tree has more chance of surviving intact until Christmas Day without the daily presence of a toddler bent on mayhem and destruction.
As a bonus, this means we will set up our old tree at our house this year, and the kids will have free agency to decorate it however they please with every last ornament they’ve ever constructed from paddle pop sticks, toilet rolls and pom poms. I won’t even go around behind them rearranging their ornaments, and that is legitimately a first. Win/win.
Let’s take a look at the other side of the room. Balsam Hill also provided me with this very pretty LED birch tree. This is the 120cm size, which is a nice height for a console. You can also use these outdoors! They come in sizes up to 180cm.
Have I shown you enough pictures yet? It really is like a honeymoon album. Can’t. Stop. Taking. Photos.
On a deeper note, I was thinking today about the sweet, almost old-fashioned notion of Christmas spirit.
As the shopping centres get more crowded, parking spaces vanish, and the rush and overwhelm sets in, it’s easy to become tense and impatient with strangers.
Today, in a very busy car-parking situation, a stranger held back and waved me in front of him. I remember thinking how such a simple act felt like such a welcome kindness. And how that really sums up the Christmas spirit. It’s a happy time of year and we have so much to celebrate in the birth of our Saviour. He is our Joy come down to earth.
Let’s gift small acts of kindness to each other this season. A cheerful smile to a harried stranger in the shops. Holding back instead of pushing and jockeying for our position. Small acts that shine our light and spread joy.
I hope this tour felt as magical for you as it has been for me to put it together! Many thanks again to Balsam Hill for supplying our gorgeous white Christmas tree and the other beautiful products for this post.
Let me know in the comments, do you prefer a white or green tree? Do you have a favourite product from this tour?
And how do you plan to spread some Christmas spirit to those around you this season?
Wishing you a house full of sunshine, friends!
Gorgeous!!! You know I love the blue/teal-ish ornaments. 🙂
Of course! Girl after my own heart! 😉 xo
It’s soooo pretty and I love how it helps lighten up the room!
Thank you Ellen, that is so sweet! It really is so fresh and bright! xo
Beautiful tree! And those glass ornaments are drool-worthy! I love how the colors really “pop” off your white tree. Funny about the bribing to stay away from the tree, lol!
Two years ago, my son (2 yr old at the time) would take off the glass bulbs, remove the hangers and throw them on the floor, watching them explode as if they were grenades. Ugh!
Last year I almost didn’t put up a Christmas tree. The last week before Christmas, I put up our artificial pre-lit tree – with no ornaments at all – added a red bow to the top and that was it. It gave enough sparkle to give a cheery vibe for the holiday.
This year I bought 50% off wired ribbon from Hobby Lobby and $13 dollar tree shatter-proof ornaments, snowflakes, and bells. For less than $20, we have a stress-free and beautiful tree 🙂
Thank you, Tonia! 💖Oh my goodness – he sounds like my son!! 😂 What is with boys and their destructive ways, lol! I like the sound of your kid-proof tree. It’s nice to still be able to enjoy the festive atmosphere even when our kids are little and getting into everything. Good solution, mama! xo
This tree is gorgeous!! I am loving the bold colors against the crisp white! 😍 And that little helper sure is adorable too!
Aww, I think he’s pretty cute too! 😆 Thanks, lovely Tessie! The colours make me happy 😊 xo
Oh my goodness this is beautiful. It does look peaceful. Have an amazing Christmas and I hope Santa puts something special for you under this beautiful tree.
Thank you lovely!! Oooh, I hope so too! 🤣 Wishing you the most beautiful Christmas also xo
O M G!!! I ❤️ this tree! I have always loved green trees but this beauty has changed my mind! So fluffy and snowy white… so many possibilities!! I.Must.order.one.now!!!
Haha, love it Katherine! Glad to have inspired you with something a bit different! xo
Girl, you had me at the white tree. I have ALWAYS loved white trees. The way they make colors stand out. It’s a very beautiful tree. Currently I can’t decorate my own as our son and his family is currently living with us and we only have room for one tree. And since they have 3 kids we let them do the tree and decorate it. And Balsam Hill has beautiful trees as well. Christmas has always been a special time for my side of the family. And since both my parents have passed I try to continue to pass along the same traditions.
Oh hey there fellow white tree loving friend!! There really is something extra pretty about a white tree, huh?! So sweet that you’re passing on those family traditions to your grandkids, I love that! Those trees decorated all colourful and higgledy-piggledy by kids will always have a special place in my heart! 💙
It’s so Beautiful or in indonesia, we say “wahh sangat cantik” 😊
Love it! Thank you Wahyu! 💙I was in beautiful Bali earlier this year – my first time, I absolutely loved it! xo
Beautiful tree, and beautiful photography of it! I hope to make my home feel that photograph worthy someday! Maybe that tree will do it lol
What a kind thing to say, thanks Michelle! It might just do the trick, lol – hard to go too wrong with a tree this pretty! xo
You have adulting down pat! Christmas goals right here.
Haha!! Now THAT’s a compliment. 👊🙌 I’ve always wanted to nail adulting. Feels like all my Christmas dreams have come true, lol! xo
This is such a beautiful tree! I personally always love the white trees on display in various stores, especially with the pink or gold or silver ornaments. I think when I have a house of my own I want one like this, so hopefully they will be in stock for a while!
Yes! White looks so beautiful with pinks and metallics!! I’m already planning what colour scheme I’ll try out next year, lol. I believe the Mount Washington tree has been quite a favourite, so I’m sure they will continue stocking it for a long time to come! xo
Stunning – what a beautiful color combination.
Thanks Kit, it was a bit of a bold move, I’m so happy it worked out! xo
Haha, the tinder references were funny and made me smile! 🙂 So you have spread some more Christmas cheer now. I didn’t even realise Balsam Hill were in Australia! Their trees look gorgeous – and gees, you have me majorly wishing that I could be a real grown up and get one with lights attached! But I would get a green one – it would match my house colours better.
😂Well I made myself giggle with my silly sense of humour, glad I’m not the only one! Ha! I know, I’ve been seeing Balsam Hill trees on American accounts for years and was so excited when I realised they’re in Australia too! Green trees are always so timeless and they do some beautiful ones!! xo
Beautiful tree. Especially love the indigo magnolias in contrast to the white branches. Fabulous.
Thanks so much Sandi! Those magnolias are my favourite too! 💙
Wow, what a stunner Karen! I think those magnolia picks are my favourite but everything is just exquisite and I can see why you are so love!
Thank you Bec! 💙I agree with you about the magnolias, so pretty! xo
Beautiful!
💙💙 Thank you Crystal! xo
Karen,
Well done, beautiful tree, my friends in Washington state had their tree professionally flocked every christmas and it was stunning. I love the white christmas tree. Keep up the greatest works my dear, you are also stunning!!!
Rachel
Oh goodness, you are the kindest soul!! Thank you for that sweet comment! 😭💙 Wow, I love flocked trees too, I can just imagine how amazing that would’ve looked! xo
Beautiful! I love the magnolias against the white. Don’t think I’ve ever seen such a dense, fluffy tree! It’s hard to believe how big your ‘baby’ is now. He seems like a bundle of sunhine all on his own!
Thank you sweet Monique! 💙I know right, it really is so full and fluffy, I just love it so much! And YES – my baby is growing up far too fast!! 😭
This is lovely and the decorations are quite different which in itself is nice. I’m a red fan so would have to get a bit of red on there. Great job Karen!
Thank you so much Tracey! ❤️<- see what I did there? Lol! Red always looks so good at Christmastime! xo
Absolutely beautiful tree and those decorations are gorgeous. Awesome job. Hopefully will make the hose seem cooler over summer too. Have a great Xmas with your family
Thank you Janine! It does make everything feel so light and cool and fresh! Perfect for the beach location. Wishing you a wonderfully happy Christmas as well 😊
I love it! I am very traditional… so it’s green for me. Especially because I live in an area where we don’t see snow…. I also love that it is not overdone with ornaments. Mine is full, but the tree isn’t as full as this one is so it kind of needs more or there is too much empty space. The blues are magical!! Beautiful!!
Green is so timelessly beautiful! 💚And yes, you can get away without too many ornaments when the tree is this full and fluffy! Thanks for the sweet words! xo
Karen I too love those magnolias, just stunning! I love your tree! I am just slowly warming up to white trees! Just recently I was shopping, and saw one I was attracted to. Yours is magnificent! I will be putting up a green tree, after having real trees for the past few years. I have seen Balsam Hill trees before and have gravitated toward them. Someday I hope to be able to afford one. I love their love and detail they put into each tree. The look so real!
They really do have that authentic detailing! I so much prefer it to the “bottle brush” look of many artificial trees. It’s the next best thing to a real tree in my opinion – and less messy too, which is always appealing. 😉 Wishing you a beautiful Christmas, Teresa! xo
I love Christmas trees. I have a rose gold one, a green one, a blue and orange one (bronco tree), and a white one. But I do have to say I am partial to white. Although am looking for a red one for next year. I love the colors on your tree.
Oh WOW Judi, how fun!! My goodness, I am so intrigued, I have never heard of some of those colours before on a Christmas tree! The rose gold sounds particularly pretty, I can just picture it! Love the creativity. xo
My favorite part was about your two year old helping. “Not Stressful AT ALL!” As mother of four, that is a language I truly understand! Merry Christmas to you, Karen!
🤣🤣Haha! We’re speaking the same language. The happiest of Christmases to you too, Rachel! xo
I’ve always thought I preferred a green tree (suitably frosted at the tips) and that a white tree would look fake but I love this! And would go so well in anyone’s house
Thanks Claire! Yes, it’s a bold move, but I’m loving how clean it looks! And I agree – would suit so many different types of decor. xo
I’ve always had a green Christmas tree but your new white tree is quite beautiful. I’m definitely going to consider a white tree in the future.
How fun Regina! Glad you found some inspo here! xo
Love it. Looks great. As much as I would like a white tree we already have a green tree with built in lights and about twenty boxes of various decorations that we store in the loft space. So, I think I’ll have to stick with my green tree. At lease for now.
Haha, well that’s fair enough! 👌😄I too tend to hoard Christmas decorations… 🙈
Oh G!! A Balsam Hill Christmas Tree has been something on my wish list for the longest time!! I love the pre-list natural looking trees 💕 Gorgeous!
They really are such beautiful trees! Thanks for the sweet words Angela! xo
Very beautiful tree!
Thank you, Inna! 💙 It really is a stunner! xo
Beautiful, beautiful tree! Not completely sure, but I think the magnolia picks are my favorite and so lovely. The birch tree complements your decor perfectly too! Beautiful decorating!
Thank you so much, Monica! 💝
The tree is beautiful! And your sonny is adorable! Thanks for your inspiration and may you feel the joy of Jesus in your heart! I just stumbled across your blog the other week when I was browsing for some treat bag toppers 😊 …
Oh how lovely! So happy to have you here, Elaine! I’m blessed! xo
Spectacular!
Thanks Luz, so kind of you! 💙
Wow thats awesome and beautiful!!! 😍😍😍 We have a white Christmas tree, too, not the same brand though and if comparing, yours totally wins! But I love my tree anyways and now I got some inspiration to change/ make new ornaments because I really fell in love with those Magnolia ones!!! 😍 I read your post about the situation of your blog by the way and I need to apologize!!! You have given me tons of inspiration and it really just didn’t hit me to share it and for that am so sorry! 😢 I don’t use social media but Pinterest and now am gonna share this post and my other favorites from your blog in there for sure! I hope you keep on inspiring us and I wish you and your family all the best and an amazing Christmas time!
Sending you lots of love from Finland! ❄️❄️❄️💖💖💖
You’re a sweetheart Maria, thank you for all your support! I truly appreciate it! No need to apologise whatsoever, it means so much to me that you are here reading along! So glad I could give you some inspiration today! xo
It’s beautiful! I love the contrast of the shades of blue against the white tree.
Wishing you a joyful season and much Christmas spirit from Germany!
Alicia
Thank you Alicia, so happy to have you following along all the way from Germany! xo
I’m not fond of white Christmas trees, but yours turned out beautiful. Love the colors you used to go against the white. I would have liked a picture at night with the lights on. I do love the birch tree. Thank you so much for sharing with us all your projects. Love getting my emails. Merry Christmas and have a wonderful happy and healthy New Year.
Thanks Kyle! A night picture is such a great idea! I need to figure out how to photograph it properly at night so I can share with you guys. So glad you enjoy getting my emails, that means a lot to me! xo
Oh this tree! It is so beautful & the ornaments are gorgeous! I could totally see this tree in my living room! 😄 Even the color scheme matches my house… this might be love! 🥰 Thank you for sharing! Love to follow you!
Every time I see a pic of a room you’ve decorated, I think this what I want my home to look like!! 😘
Awww that is just the absolute sweetest thing to say! 😘😘
Love the tree! So beautiful! You decorated it just perfectly!
Thanks Tiane, so kind! 💙
Lovely tree and very inspiring photos, Karen! You’re great! Thank you! Merry Christmas!
Thank you Roxana, what a sweet comment! Love having you here! Hope you have a very happy Christmas as well! xo
Loving the birch tree!
It’s so pretty, isn’t it?! xo
Very beautiful Karen, with restrained, beautifully coloured ornaments. A green tree is still my preferred option. We bought ours post Christmas from Coles (believe it or not) 7 years ago for $70. It has lovely long, fine needles and has such a beautiful shape. A couple of years ago, I bought a glittered paper banner from Pottery Barn that says “A very merry Christmas’ which now wraps itself amongst the boughs of the tree each year. I love it.
We’re reading “Discovering The Greatest Gift” by Ann Voskamp at the moment. A beautiful collection of Advent Readings that bring us back to the heart of why we celebrate Christmas. So, so easy to make other ‘stuff’ a priority in our lives, isn’t it? In all your recent blog anxiety, don’t ever forget to cast all your burdens on Jesus. His love never fails and he doesn’t measure your worth by how many likes you get!! 😚
That is so true, Natalie! I’m a huge fan of Ann Voskamp! I must check out that book! 💙
Absolutely beautiful! I would be afraid to breath next to it as I can trip over my own two feet. Lol! The kind of tree dreams are made of.
Hahaha, I hear that! I’m not known for my co-ordination either. 😂
You had me sold with the lights! I always hate dealing with lights on a tree. Love the fluffiness of the tree. Great choice on the blue ornaments, love the blue tones.
The built-in lights are the BEST THING EVER!! Thanks for the sweet words, Vickie! xo
You’ve turned me! My grandma used to have the saddest, scrawniest, plastic-iest white Christmas tree and I’ve been unimpressed with white trees ever since. I was a little skeptical at the title of this blog post, but…… WOW! Your white tree is so full and fabulous and I LOVE the ornaments you paired with it. What a beautiful display! Now I need a picture of it at night! Just gorgeous!
Awww, what a sweet thing to say! I’m glad I helped change your opinion, lol! Yes, a picture at night would be so magical – I must try that! xo
You did a beautiful job decorating the tree! It creates a very warm, wintry feeling. Love it!
Thanks Wendy, that’s a great description! So glad you like it! xo
Oh my goodness it’s gorgeous😍😍 I bought a white tree last year and I guess I just didn’t know how to style it right because I was fairly disappointed and went back to green trees this year. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this though!!! I think it’s the non traditional Christmas colors that make it so unique. Taking notes 📝 lol
Ha, so glad to help salvage the white tree for you! 👌 I agree, I think non-traditional colours work best on a white tree for some reason! xo
I love the navy color!
Thanks Jessica, I’m a huge fan as well! It’s such a lovely rich colour 💙
Absolutely beautiful!
Thanks Julianne! 😘
Your white tree looks ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! What a head turner! I especially love how it makes those gorgeous blue ornaments and baubles POP, when they’d hardly stand out on a green Christmas tree. Nice job, Karen!
That’s exactly right! It’s the contrast that really makes my heart sing. What a sweet comment, Carrie! xo
Never thought I’d join the white tree crowd (pretty regal) but this year–I finally hit 40–I think it is quite magical! An “acquired taste” maybe, but you make it look exquisite!
Thank you Andrea, I so appreciate that! There really is something so dreamy about the white 💙
BLUE! I love Christmas blue! Our yard is all blue lights (idea from a house that was decorated in all blue when growing up). The white tree truly highlights the deep blue of the ornaments and matches your home beautifully. I love our tree but yours makes my heart melt. Stunning!
Thank you Tracy, what a kind comment! My heart beats for blue at Christmas time! 💙
Beautiful! I’d like a white tree myself. The turquoise, indigo, and gold are gorgeous!! I wonder if I can make it into a farmhouse type tree after we rearrange or build an addition to the house.
I’m sure you could! I saw a lovely white tree on Instagram yesterday with blue ornaments and plaid ribbon – so a really similar colour palette to this but a farmhouse style. The account was Making Home Base – you should look her up for some inspo! xo
The perfect tree for that house.
Thanks Julia! It really does suit they beachy vibe so well! 💙
Gorgeous tree. It is beautifully decorated. And that is one beautiful child. I do believe he outshines the tree. lol
Haha! I love that! He is SO cute, for all his rascallish ways! I’m a bit partial to him myself 😉
Absolutely beautiful.I love white treasurer to always have traditional green. Maybe if in at the talent you do to create such a lovely tree I might try one. Keep sharing your projects and allow us to share a little of your life. Merry Christmas to you and your family and prayers for a joyous and prosperous new year.
Thank you, sweet Vicki! Wishing you a wonderful Christmas as well! xo
Beautiful! Gorgeous! Stunning! Never thought I could really like a white tree…… until now!
That is high praise, Jacque! Glad to have helped change your mind! 😉💙
I’ve always loved flocked trees, but have never been a big fan of the all white trees – until now! Oh my goodness! Not only is the tree full and beautiful, but I absolutely LOVE the way the ornaments pop against the white background of the tree. I never would have thought it could look so gorgeous, but here you are, showing me how wrong I was. Good job!
Haha, I’m happy to have changed your mind! 😊💙Thanks Regi, what a sweet comment! I do love the contrast of the ornaments against the white, something about it just sings to me! xo
Your tree is gorgeous! I love white trees, but have never stepped out the box to purchase one. Your tree is definitely making me re-think buying one. The colors are so gorgeous against the white. I can’t wait to try one.
Yes, I love how the colours really pop against the white! We’ve always used green before, but I’m so glad I took the plunge this year! xo
Beautiful decor. Love those colors! I, too, am glad you decided to continue your blog. I enjoy reading it, & getting inspiration from your posts. Thank you so much!
I appreciate that so much, Belinda! xo
I love the white tree and I am a little surprised that I do 🙂 It is so elegant, especially with the fur tree skirt.
Why thank you so much, Janet! 💙
Omg, I love this post so much!! I loved it so much that now I want to redecorate my house with another christmas tree! Similar to this onee
Haha, love that Paola! So glad you liked it! xo
The ornaments are beautiful! If I could find a place to set up a tree that my dogs couldn’t get to, I’d love to have one like yours.
Oh yes, I imagine dogs are on the same level as toddlers when it comes to tree destruction! 🤣
I love this tree and set up!
So fresh and gorgeous 😍😍😍😍
I want one!
Thanks sweet Rachel! So glad you like it! 💙
I wondered how you kept your house looking so nice with a toddler. LOL! Your mom has a lovely house. I love the white tree. I didn’t think I would, but I do! The ornaments are gorgeous and you’ve positioned them so well. I really love it. Its are true “decorator’s” tree. But I also like our green fake trees…one with, like your family, all the kids’ handmade pre-school and elementary school Christmas projects, as well as some that I made as a teen and young woman, some my grandmother made, as well as other handmade ornaments. The other tree has all the commercial ornaments…reminders of trips, gifts, and friendships. Both trees are loaded to the gills with well over 100 items (and memories) each. They are tacky…but soooo much about family. Eventually, I would love to have a “decorator’s” tree like yours, but by then grandkids will likely exist and their tacky Christmas projects will simply be added to the collection. Merry Christmas!
Those kid-made and sentimental decorations hold so many memories. They are so special and beautiful simply because of that! You must feel so blessed as you look at your trees every year! Wishing you a wonderful Christmas celebrating with family. xo
Beautiful tree, and being a lover of all things blue and turquoise I loved the tree decorations.
The magnolias and the gold berries are a nice touch.
Keep up the good work Karen and have a wonderful Christmas and 2019.
Thank you Sami, and same to you! xo
Karen, I love the tree. It’s beautiful. I no longer put up a tree because my boys are grown and gone. And, being typical men they think it is a waste of time. Saying that, to answer your question. I prefer a traditional green tree. Although, yours is gorgeous and looks like something from a magazine. “Different strokes for indifferent folks”.
I totally appreciate that for sure! And I’m glad you still like it! 😊 I saw a black Christmas tree in a shop the other day – now that was different! I thought it was quite dramatic looking, even though it’s not something I would ever have thought of doing. It’s good that we all have such different tastes, it keeps the world such an interesting place. xo
Wow! This looks so dreamy! And the ornaments are so beautiful too!
They really are the prettiest ornaments I’ve ever seen! Thanks, lovely! xo
I love the way you have taken just a few Christmas item’s to make your house into a beautiful home, our family go out and cut a tree. but i would take a Break too use a white tree. thanks ill be using a few designs in my home
I love that tradition, Dee! I’ve always thought it would be so special to cut your own tree! Thanks for your sweet words. xo
The tree looks so beautiful – thanks so much for sharing! Also, I love your newsletters!
So glad to hear that, Dianne! That makes me happy! Love having you in this community. xo
wow I have never seen a white tree before and this is truly gorgeous! makes the space look so festive and also a touch of elegance. reminds me of growing up in Canada where our trees were all white from the snow!
merry christmas
I love that Jenn! Thank you so much for those truly kind words! Merry Christmas to you too! xo
I love the blue and White combination. Very beautifully decorated. Serene and elegant at the same time. Merry Christmas! Stay blessed, stay precious!
Thank you for those kind words Rekha, you’re a sweetheart!
Absolutely stunning! What a beautiful tree, thank you for sharing it with us Karen.
Thanks Chantelle, that’s so kind! xo
Karen, love this look and it ties in perfectly with the room. I love the aquas and blues with the deeper accents, with the white tree it looks like a snowy magical Christmas tree! Great job!!
What a sweet comment, thank you! I think your description is perfect – it really does look snowy and magical! xo
Wһen I originaⅼly commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added”
chеckbox and now each time a c᧐mment is added I get tһree e-mails with the

Thank you!
Hey there! I’m so sorry I’ve only just seen this, that would be really annoying! Unfortunately this is not something I can fix on my end, you will need to click the link at the bottom of one of the emails you received – it should say something like “edit subscription settings” or “change notification settings” or something to that effect! Hope that fixes it for you! xo
