This year I did my main tree in these traditional colors:
Many of you may remember that I have done turquoise or brownish colors for the past few years. I really love all different holiday colors....I just get bored with the same every year, so since I bought new green furniture last spring, this year I am enjoying cranberry reds and green again. Luckily I have a basement full of Christmas ornies in many colors, so I did not have to buy a single thing.
I will show you more of that tree later. It's been up for two weeks, but I have not taken any full pictures.
This past weekend in the dining room, I put up a small skinny tree and decorated it with only red cardinals, pinecones and white snowflakes. It was the easiest tree I have ever decorated!
It goes nicely with the new dining room chair covers in cranberry red and green that I made last month.
At the top of tree I put the antlers from a buck my son got many years ago.
DH found the antlers in the basement --I did not even know they were there. Antlers are such a big item in the decorating world right now....what a great find!
Are you decorated for Christmas yet?

Love your snowflake cardinal tree. I wanted my woodland tree to look similar, but couldn't find small snowflakes and didn't get the felt cardinals done. I can enjoy yours now...

Hi Balisha,
ReplyDeleteI just went to Joanne's today and bought the snowflakes -- they were 50% off --
$1 each.
Your trees both look pretty, Zoey. My tree is all decorated in red and white. I have no cardinals or snowflakes - it's done in red and white poinettias, white lights, and lots of red balls and candy canes. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteYour tree sounds lovely, Beth. Merry Christmas to you, too!
DeleteNo decorating done here yet, sad to say. I love your trees, they are beautiful! I can't quite summon up the enthusiasm this year, but I sure do appreciate other people's efforts.
ReplyDeleteI understand that feeling, Karen. One year I did not put up a tree at all. I enjoyed not having any work to do that year!
DeleteBoth look very pretty Zoey. It's been a while since I saw you post. I'm not doing as much either. Try to do one post each month. Hope you have a nice Christmas.

Thanks, Cher. I wish the same for you!
DeleteBoth of your trees are pretty. I really like the one with the cardinals and white snowflakes. I am not done with my decorating. Maybe I'll finish that today. I put up a little tree and decorated it with the lighthouse ornaments I have. It needs more lights.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the Season!
Hi Barb, A Iighthouse tree sounds interesting. I hope you post some pics on your blog!
DeleteLove your tree and the red birds are so cute. I will be decorating tommorrow.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Betty. I hope you have fun decorating tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Well done Zoey!
ReplyDeleteWell the tree got up last Monday when our flight to Florida got postponed by a day. Now to do a little shopping on line!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, I love your decorations.
I was going to do my Main Tree in red & green this year. I made a list last Christmas season of what I was changing and what I needed to get -- finally found the list last month!! So, I decided to do that maybe next year!! So, I really love you red & green tree and looking forward to more photos.
