Red & White Christmas Tree

 In keeping with the red & white decor
in the dining room,
I decided to do up my Christmas tree
in the same theme.
/
I love my slim white tree!
It fits perfectly in the corner
and doesn't take up any space at all!
/
I used red ball ornaments.
Some shiny, some matte and some sparkly.
Red, white & gold garland and
bows and poinsettias.
 Birds and stars, they all worked for me.
And, of course, to go with my table,
red with white polka dots!
Even the gifts under the tree
get treated to red and white.
Mr. B helped by putting on the perfect
tree topper for my theme this year!
She really shines and I love the slight
red glow she casts into the dining room!

Do you have your tree up yet?
Do you change it out each year or keep it the same?

Don't forget to stop by the
going on now!

  1. Kathe your tree is lovely. Yes I do change the tree each year. This year it is all silver. The one in my sunroom remains the same though in traditional colours as the name baubles wouldn't match any other theme. Merry Christmas. xx

  6. I put up several trees, but I don't have a white one. I just love the look of yours and love the skinny tree. I'm going to have to look for one. An after Christmas find would be great.

  11. This is SO BEAUTIFUL! I'm so jealous...we're traveling this year and to keep things simple for that (and other reasons), we're not decorating. It's kind of sad...but I'm loving looking at everyone else's decorations.

  25. Kathe, your red and white tree is darling. I bought a slim tree a few years ago because our space is so limited. Something had to go if a tree came in. I do pretty much the same thing each year. I've got boxes and boxes of ornaments from through the years. With a smaller tree can't use them all, so I pick and choose each year. A few are tradition and go on the tree every year!
