Christmas Tree Envy...

Okay, all the Christmas decorating is finally done. The cookies and delicious little treats have been made and I'm ready for Santa...How 'bout you?

This year with a "Baby Girl" on the way (due in April) the budget was tight and we decided to keep the decorating low key.  I think the "over the top decorating" in my house is over, sad to say! Next year, I'll  have a 8 month old baby (and 2 BIG dogs and a cat....who thinks he's a dog)!! Maybe we just put the Christmas tree in the den with the french doors closed. That way we can still admire the tree without worrying about a Christmas Catastrophe {ha,ha,ha}!

This afternoon I was looking for a little holiday home inspiration, when I can across these Christmas Trees on Pinterest.

Gorgeous... aren't they? 

Yeah, I know. You're probably thinking "Who has the time for all that?" Well, I'm thinking the same thing too, Sista! My crazy hectic life (and wallet) just doesn't seem to allow for moments like these anymore. But that's okay, I can live vicariously through some of my amazing girlfriends.

Becca at Adventures in Decorating has an amazing gift when it comes to home decorating....I love this girl!! She has several Christmas trees in her home and always has the most amazing holiday decor. I don't know how she does it all but she truly rocks it, every time!! Check out how she's adorned her GORGEOUS home for Christmas...


ONE OF HER MANY BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS TREES... 
THIS ONE IS IN THE MASTER BEDROOM


 SHE EVEN DECORATES THE CHANDELIER IN THE DINING AREA,
 ISN'T IT GORGEOUS?



C'MON...HOW ADORABLE ARE THESE PLACE SETTINGS?



ON THIS TREE SHE ADDS CHRISTMAS CARDS FROM FAMILY AND FRIENDS. 
EVEN A FEW OF HER FAVORITE CARDS FROM YEARS PAST.
 {I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS IDEA TOO}



WHAT A GREAT IDEA FOR DECORATING THE ISLAND IN YOUR KITCHEN! THIS TREE IS DECORATED WITH GINGERBREAD ORNAMENTS AND COOKIE CUTTERS.



ALL THE WHIMSICAL LITTLE TOUCHES ADD SO MUCH, DON'T THEY?


HER FORMAL DINING ROOM IS DECKED OUT WITH SILVER AND GOLD



THIS TREE IN HER FRONT SITTING ROOM IS ONE OF MY FAVES!


I JUST LOVE HOW SHE PUTS PERSONAL TOUCHES ON EVERYTHING, 
RIGHT DOWN TO THE PILLOWS WRAPPED WITH BURLAP.


FAVORITE INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES ARE PLACED THROUGHOUT 
THE HOUSE NEXT TO FAMILY PHOTOS. SHE EVEN HAS A FAMILY CHRISTMAS TREE TRIMMED IN FAMILY PHOTOS AND INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES.
 {GREAT IDEA}





EVEN THE ENTRYWAY IS ADORNED WITH CHRISTMAS TIDINGS THAT JUST MAKE YOU FEEL RIGHT AT HOME WHEN YOU WALK IN...I JUST LOVE IT!! 
{Thank you Becca for letting me share your lovely home with everyone}

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
