I hope I don’t loose any followers over this…. please let me defend myself just a little first. NO I’m not putting my Christmas stuff up before Halloween…. PHEW! I had a vision last year to completely redo the look of my Christmas tree…. I never had the time to do it. I usually put my tree up relatively close to Thanksgiving which happens to be a short four weeks away! I want to have all of my new “tree stuff” ready so all I have to do is assemble the beauty. SO that’s why I’ve got the good ol Christmas decor on the brain! The color scheme and style I currently have just don’t fit well in my home anymore. I want to lighten up the look of my tree a little with some natural muslin fabrics and the colors of tan, cream, and brown. I will, of course, need a new tree skirt to go along with the whole new look. That is where YOU come in my friend! I’m stuck on the look of two really beautiful skirts. I honestly think I love them both equally so if you could help me decide that would be greatly appreciated!

Both skirts are AMAZING right?!? According to my crafting guestimations I think they will both require, roughly, the same amount of time. The ruffles will have to be individually glued and pleated but the roses are also made individually. Either one will work perfectly with my new Christmas tree vision….. SO it makes for a hard decision! What do you think? All crafting/preparation aside (lets say you were just going to buy it from the store) which one would you choose? Please tell me I’m not the only one that’s already started to think about Christmas goodies?

So… I would love to make the flowers so I am going to say the flower one. BUT… If I were to buy one I would get the ruffled one…. It seems more neutral, and my husband might freak out over flowers….So… basically I am no help! Good luck!!
Thanks for stopping over to Hating Martha…I wanted to return the favor!
I am sooo thinking about Christmas as well. In fact, I have burlapy tree skirts on the mind as well. This is the one I have my little brain on…

I will be looking to see what you make that will inspire me *ahem* allow me to copy :)..
Thanks for sharing your inspiration! That is a beautiful tree skirt and I LOVE the scrunched up burlap garland! I might have to copy that ;)
I adore them both! I think I would personally pick the ruffled one. So fun! I can’t wait to see what you decide!
I love them both but I think I love the ruffles a little bit more. I would go with that one. And YES! I too have been thinking about Christmas.
Thanks for your comment on my blog. I love yours!
I love them both! I’ve had the second one saved to make too. After seeing the first one though, I think I like it more!
Love the flower one! Just perfect! Thank you for the visit and the sweet comment se! It means the world. Hope you have a grand evening. Toodles, Kathryn
I love them..They aree both awesome..The second one is a must try to do for me..:))) Great turn out!! Would LOVE for you to share this at my Pin’Inspirational Thursday linky party if you dont mind pweeease :))– TY,,
Omg! I could have written this post word for word, right down to the pictures of the tree skirts (both of which I pinned a couple weeks ago)! Too funny! I’m also completely changing the way I typically decorate my tree/house this year. I want to go with more of a natural/rustic/farmhousey feel. I think you should go with the first skirt with the muslin rosettes. ?
I can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Ha ha that’s too funny Melissa! I’m still trying to decide. I really love them both it’s so hard to decide! Good luck with your tree! I love tree decorating!
Are you still accepting opinions?? I like the ruffled one the best, but are you a family who puts presents under the tree before Christmas? If you do, I would vote for the roses. The ruffles would just get lost under presents, but you might still catch a peek of the flowers!
Thanks for stopping by Red Hen Home–always good to hear from another Utah girl!
Thanks for the your opinion! That is a very good point with the whole presents. It would be so pretty to have the flower border around all of the gifts under the tree. I usually dont wrap much until a few days before Christmas. I’m still feeling pretty 50/50 about this! It’s just a dang tree skirt it shouldn’t be that hard of a decision ;) lol
Well I think they are both amazing so I am zero help. But I did want to say thanks for sharing these two fabulous tree skirt options.
lol I really have thought about just making both ;)
