This year I wanted to do something different from my traditional red, gold, and green tree. I fell in love with one of the White House trees from last year, seen here, and have been wanting to recreate it. I began to look around online to see what else I can use for inspiration and came across this, this and this on Pinterest. After some more browsing around, a quick trip to the store for colorful ornaments, and a sketched mockup; I was ready to decorate our tree.

I started at the bottom with the colored bulbs I had the most of and then just went up the tree
changing the colors as I went.

I wanted to do a ribbon around the tree but I didn't have enough on hand and was not up for another trip to the store. Maybe next year.....


I love how it came out! Don't you?
