When I think of the word whimsical, I think of playful, fun, and unpredictable. All of those words definitely describe my Christmas tree. For years, I have stuck with the traditional red, white and green when decorating my tree, but while those colors are my all time favorites, my tree is far from traditional.
To me, a Christmas tree speaks about the people in the home…like it has something to say. For me, this one {there are a few others in our house too that you will see at a later time!} speaks of the fun in our home. It speaks of the light hearted go with the flow lifestyle that you have to have with 2 crazy toddlers. It isn’t well planned out or choreographed. It is just literally thrown together, about like myself!! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
It’s a little wild and crazy! When I am decorating it, I put the ribbon on first..and then I just go wild. I stick ornaments, picks, Christmas home decor, etc all over the tree! I like it to be spontaneous! I have a little of any and everything, and that is just the way I like it! I seem to add a little more each year, and I always wonder when I will think I have it “too full.” I really don’t know that I will ever think that. I know this look isn’t for everyone, but it is perfect for us 🙂
This is just a little sneak peek into my living room, which will be showcased on the Christmas Home Tour coming Friday! I hope you will come back and join me again to see a few other areas of my home all decked out!
This elf shoe {I think that is what it is?!} has always been one of my favorites! I got it after Christmas one year on sale really cheap. Isn’t it the cutest?! After Christmas sales are my very favorite!!
And of course…there is nothing more beautiful than a tree all lit up at nighttime! It makes me feel so warm and cozy inside! I absolutely love this time of year.
Isn’t it gorgeous!?
And for good measure…I had to throw this precious one in of Queen Elsa {yes, that is a wig} and my little man. The thing I love the most about this one is that it was un staged. I was trying to get my camera settings right, and I asked them to stand in front of the tree and look at it so I could snap some pictures, and the next thing I knew, they were being all precious on me.
So there you have it, folks! I am in love with the way it turned out this year. It is a wild and fun addition to our living room, and I can’t wait for you to see the rest of the space, as well as a few others this Friday for the Home Tour Part 1, featuring Re-Fabbed and Fun Home Things! You won’t want to miss it.
What do you think about it? If you love it, PIN FOR LATER!

So Cute!! So my style! I LOVE the BIG elements and all the craziness!
THANK YOU so much Jenna!! That is my favorite part about it too 🙂
Ah….. the tree and the kids are simply gorgeous – love all your bits and bats you have on it and love the red, green and white theme with all your beautiful cushions and everything. Will look forward to seeing the rest of your house ‘decked up’ when you get round to it 🙂
It makes me jealous because last year and this year I cannot ‘deck’ a tree where I am living at the moment – we moved two years ago to a smaller apartment in Dublin, Ireland to enable us to have money spare for our renovations for our villa in Spain. Soooo I can only do ‘smallish’ arrangements and no space for a tree. We will be in Spain from next April for good, soooo will have to look forward to next Christmas – lol – albeit a long time! Soooo I can drool over yours hey? Take Care 🙂
You know how to make my day, Denise! 🙂 I bet you will miss having a tree this year! I would love to visit your part of the world one day. I bet it is gorgeous.
Brooke! This tree is adorable! I love that elf foot! 🙂
Thank you so much, Shara!!
Love love love it! My tree isn’t traditional either…red sparkly snowflakes and a huge snowman so head in a top hat as the topper,, them we used mesh to make him a scarf that trails down the tree. I especially love the leg sticking out! And the kids in front of your tree. Awesome and so personal.
THANK YOU, Donna! I bet your tree is super cute! It sounds it! And I just couldn’t resist including that picture 🙂
Your tree is happy! I laughed out loud when I saw the Elf foot!
The photo of your children is beautiful. You captured a moment in time that will remain in your heart forever.
Thank you so much…yes, that picture is a priceless memory. I love it 🙂
Visiting from Something to Talk About. What a fun tree! Love the pillows too! The last picture is fabulous!
Thanks so much, Amy!! So glad you liked it and that you stopped by!! 🙂
