Our Classic Preppy Plaid Christmas Tree

in holidays on 12/10/15

Hello, hello! Hope your week is going great. Ours is good, just busy! Y’all, I have all of my days mixed up. I kept thinking yesterday was Thursday and when I went to write something on the calendar today, I wrote it down on December 2nd- yes a week ago. Is anyone feeling a bit upside down these days?! ‘Tis the season and pass the coffee!

Despite my lack of ability to know what day or date it is, I am excited to share my Christmas Tree Decor Style as part of the My Home Style Christmas Tree hop hosted by Stephanie from Casa Watkins. Such a fun idea! If you’ve popped over from This Makes That– welcome! I promise I normally know what day of the week it is. Well, ok, at least I normally know what week it is. 

If you’ve been around here this Christmas, you already got a glimpse of the tree last week when I shared the family room. She’s a beaut! We decided to go big or go home and I was beyond excited to make her ours a week before Thanksgiving. I know, I know. That is early. (True Story: we were the FIRST customer to purchase a Christmas tree at our Home Depot this year. Literally, the first tree they sold was to us. And yes, I realize I am nuts. But I digress.) She is 9 feet tall and definitely the biggest tree we have ever had.

I have named her: Classic, Preppy & Plaid.

Oh there really is no place like home for the holidays and having a Christmas tree lit up in our family room really makes me happy. Especially one that is Classic, Preppy & Plaid.

So, how did she get such a lovely name you ask? Well, she is loaded with a festive tartan ribbon and classic Nutcrackers.  Does it get more Classic, Preppy & Plaid than that?

Southern-State-Mind-Christmas Home Tour (76)

If you’ve been following along on my Christmas Home Tour, then you know that I took a classic tartan plaid ribbon and carried it through the decor in each room. This ribbon pattern is traditional Christmas colors of red, green and blue. I seriously cannot get enough of it.  Here are some shots in the foyer and throughout the house. Classic Preppy Plaid ChristmasThe tree carries the tartan ribbon from the foyer and is loaded up with Nutcrackers of all sizes. I even put some full size ones throughout the tree using floral wire to secure them to the branches.

Our Nutcracker collection was started by my Mother in Law years ago and I love how we are including some of the large ones in the tree this year.

We also have a collection of little Nutcracker ornaments that are really happy on this Classic Preppy tree.

I also found some medium size ones from the Dollar Tree that I painted white. I think white is always a good idea on a Christmas tree to help brighten it up. (note to self: add more white next year!!!)

And with that, I am off to drape myself in that tartan ribbon. Ha. Or maybe take a nap.  I have LOVED having you with me today and hope you enjoyed Miss Classic Preppy & Plaid. Come January, I sure am going to miss her, but I will already be dreaming of next year’s tree! Which will most likely arrive the week before Thanksgiving. 🙂

xoxo-

Heather
