Good riddance burgundy! In case you didn’t catch word, we’ve put the tree up at our house! For some reason it’s been happening the week before Thanksgiving for the past few years. I consider that to be an “official tradition” wouldn’t you ;) I gave the tree a little makeover this year by replacing all of my burgundy items with cream and I LOVE it! No offense to burgundy it just didn’t fit in my home.
brown, tan, cream, and gold are the new tree colors this year
Can you spot my book page ornaments? I covered all of my burgundy ornaments with mod pog and book pages…. easy fix!
The top of the tree has a few twigy items popping out of it. I spray painted all of my burgundy twigs a cream color.
I added some cut up burlap strips to pull in more of a neutral tone and a few feathers to fill in some gaps.
Let’s not forget about my new ruffled tree skirt! If you want to make one you can check out Miss Mustard Seed’s tutorial! Mine is definitely lacking in WOW factor compared to hers…. ah well ;) What colors are you using on your tree this year?
linking up with these great bloggers
I think this is absolutely gorgeous! What a great job! And your new skirt looks awesome with it! So beautiful!
Thanks Lindsay :)
Love it!!!!!!!!!! Your tree skirt turned out beautifully!
Thanks Melissa! It’s kinda hard to see it because it blends in with my carpet a little…. I guess I need hard wood floors ;)
I think it’s a beautiful tree…especially the topper! Happy weekend…hugs…Debboe
GORgeous! Love the cream! And I love that instead of throwing out your old ornaments, you upcycled them into beautiful book page ones…I should totally do that with mine! When we moved in, our carpet was hunter green {ick} so I did a burgundy and hunter theme for years, but once we got rid of the carpet I switched to red decor…now I have boxes of burgundy and hunter ornaments just taking up space. Thanks for inspiring me! And of course, thanks for linking to Shine On Fridays!
Thanks Amy :) The book page ornaments were so easy and better yet cheap! You should totally try it!
Your tree is so beautiful! I love it all. :) ~Janet
Thanks Janet :)
Your tree looks wonderful! Our tree is already up too, but we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving in Australia so Christmas is very big for us!
Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
Best Christmas wishes,
Natasha.
Thanks Natasha! I love everything about Christmas! I love the warmth the beautiful lights on my Christmas tree brings to my home so I try to enjoy it as much as I can ;) Best Christmas Wishes to you also :)
I like natural decorations for Christmas, these are great. Greetings from me and the Czech Republic.
I think they are beautiful and I love the simplicity also :) Thanks for visiting!
your ruffled tree skirt is beyond fabulous! Sends your already beautiful tree right over the top of the wonderful scale. Looks so twinkly merry and bright!
Thanks Diane you are too sweet ;)
It looks beautiful! Your tree skirt if perfect! I really want to do one of these this year! I have no idea what colors I am going to use I have so many personal ornaments that do not have any particular color. I love the burlap ribbons you used!
That’s the best thing about the tree skirt! I think you could use it with any style/color combination! You should make one for your tree I’m sure it would look beautiful :)
How beautiful! Love the topper part of your tree, plus the burlap ribbon throughout the tree! Also, love, love , love the ruffle tree skirt:) Excellent job!!!
It looks beautiful. I love your tree skirt. I love your blog. I’m your newest follower.

It never dawned on me to just cover old ornaments and spraypaint things. Duh! Oh well, maybe next year. Your tree looks beautiful.
Thanks Fran! Good ol’ spray paint it’s the best!
Very pretty! I love all of the natural elements you used. :)
Thanks Ellie :) Its very calming!
Thanks for your kind comment on my tree and skirt. You’re right… our trees do look very similar! I guess great minds think alike, eh?! I really like your feather idea… I may have to add some to my tree, too! And your tree skirt looks great, too!
Great minds do think a like ;) Your tree is beautiful…. and I think I like your tree skirt better ;)
