I hope our tree inspires you when you are decorating your own tree this year.
It's very simple, and it's a very easily achievable look.

Decorating our Christmas tree is one of my favorite things to do to kick off the holiday season.
Typically I set up a huge tree with white lights and deck it out in family ornaments.
But this year I went simple. Clean, simple, and fresh was was the goal for our tree this year.

Here is how I achieved that look.

I used a flocked tree this year. This is a smaller tree that I usually use in our bedroom. This year with our new living room furniture, I thought the scale was much better, and doesn't look so cramped.

Real trees can be so expensive now. And I always decorate early in the season, so a faux tree just
makes sense for us.

I like to add these to the tree. No one will ever know it is fake with them!

To add height to the tree I placed it on a wooden box inside of this barrel.

I like to add double the white lights, so even if your tree comes pre-lit, add twice as many!
Make sure you get lights with green wire so it blends in.

I used a vintage tree topper this year, made with pipe cleaners in the shape of a snowflake.
