A Christmas Tree Home Tour

December 17, 2013 By Meegan 9 Comments

Hello Hello!!  Christmas is just days away and nine bloggers and I have a beautiful and creative Christmas Tour of Homes for you.  Thanks to Rachel from Like a Saturday for putting it altogether!   To see the full tour schedule and to link up on December 20th, visit Rachel at Like a Saturday.

Christmas tour of homes

 If you are coming from Kayla’s blog Home Coming-WELCOME!!  I am so happy to have you here!!

stop 3 home coming

Today, I am thrilled to share our Christmas Trees with a Christmas Tree Home Tour.  I LOVE Christmas trees.  But our 950 sq foot condo is too tiny for the size tree I want, so I have 4 little trees that bring the Christmas feeling into our home.

A Christmas Tree Home Tour

Each tree is unique and adds to the feel and look of our home.

This first tree is in our living room window.

It is filled with vintage “Shiny Brites”, snowflakes and icicles.

I used a glitter and crystal filled garland to lay around the tree as well.

The tree sits in my fleur box, along with the natural and glittered spheres from Pier One.

This white ornament is special because it was sent from one of my blog readers!!  Isn’t she sweet??

My next tree resides in our bedroom.  The colors are blue (one of my fave colors), silver and gold, with crystals scattered throughout.

With more vintage gold “Shiny Brites”,  I was able to get the look and feel I wanted for our bedroom.

The bedroom tree sits in a barn wood box. and surrounded with burlap.

You can see the cracks in some of the glass ornaments, showing the wear and age on them.

“Merry Christmas” adorns the top of the tree, as a reminder of the true meaning of Christmas.

One of my Christmas trees is also in the living room,  sitting in a vintage reproduction sleigh.   I decorated the tree with a pine cone garland that I made last year.

The Santa and toys were crocheted by my grandma.  Since she has passed on, they hold special meaning to me each year when I pull them out of the box.

Doesn’t Santa look excited to deliver toys on Christmas Eve??

Last, but certainly not least, is my DIY Flocked Tree in a Terracotta pot.  Having it sit right by my vintage birdhouse is a perfect place for my bird ornaments.

My Christmas Tree Home Tour has been so fun to share with you.  Each one makes me smile every time I see them and especially when they are lit up.  Be sure to also see my WHOLE Christmas Home Tour.

Thanks SO much for coming over for the Christmas Tour of Homes!  I KNOW you will enjoy each and every home as much as I have.

Your next stop on the tour will be with Gracie from Kitchen Table Art, tomorrow morning!!  You will not be disappointed.

Make it a Christmas Home Tour kind of day!  And, Merry Christmas.

White and Natural Christmas Shelves

December 16, 2013 By Meegan 2 Comments

If you have been browsing through blogs over the past month, you have seen several home tours.  Isn’t it SO fun to see how others decorate for Christmas??? It is for me, too!

Today, I wanted to share MORE inspiration with my White and Natural Christmas Shelves.

#whatmeeganmakes

We don’t have a mantel, so I like to use the shelves as my “mantel” for our home.

This is a view from the living room.  I really like how the white and natural Christmas shelves are a focal point.

White and Natural Christmas Shelves

The crystal wreath was actually won at a high school choir raffle by my sister-in-law.

Using word ornaments of the Christmas season, I hung them on the wreath, as well.

The bottom shelf is filled with tree stump candle holders (made by my mom’s husband) and tiny “ice crystals”.

Don’t you love the “veins” in the wood???  So natural and artistic.

I like the look of string tied candles.  To me, it makes it look like I thought about them, before placing them in their home.

Loving these crystals as well.

White and Natural Christmas Shelves

The top shelf holds a very special Nativity.  It was the first one I ever bought for our family.

I set it out every year as a true reminder of Christmas.

The icicles add the finished touch, don’t you think???

So, even though I don’t have a mantel, I am able to decorate my White and Natural Christmas Shelves.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Christmas will be here before you know it.  Do you have any special ways you decorate for Christmas??  I would love to here about them!!

 

Thanks for stopping by on a busy Monday!!

Make it a great day!
