A small Christmas tree is a wonderful alternative to a large tree if you are short on space or just don't feel like the hassle of putting up a big Christmas tree. It's also a wonderful secondary tree for an entryway or another spot.
Here a small live blue spruce is placed in a blue and white Chinese porcelain cachepot. Small white Christmas lights and an assortment of ornaments, velvet bows, and tassels complete the tree. Here are some ideas to create a tree inspired by this. You can add your own ornaments. A faux tree could of course be used instead. This is also a great spot for small wrapped gifts that get lost under a large tree.
Aren't these the prettiest colors? My 3/$12 bunches from Publix yesterday.

The tree looks so pretty. I'm going to have to try that and I love the velvet ribbon you linked.
ReplyDeleteDoes the chest it rests on look like a bad DIY?
You are hysterical. I was thinking the same thing about the chest.
DeleteThis is so pretty, and what a lovely entry way greeting for guests, and for oneself. I had to laugh when I read Natasha's comment, so I went back to look at the chest. It appears to be a neoclassical piece, which initially I didn't notice, except for that beautiful shade of blue.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color but the finish drives me nuts.
DeleteThe beauty with that paint job is the color...it covers gouges and chips out of the veneer...and can always be refinished later.
ReplyDeleteHopefully sooner than later - LOL.
DeleteThat tree is absolutely adorable!
ReplyDeleteAnd easy.
DeleteIs there a name for that octagonal (hexagonal?) style of planter/bowl in the lead image? I would love to find something similar!
ReplyDeleteOctagonal blue and white Chinese planter.
DeleteThanks!
