Our Modern Rustic Christmas Tree

I know everyone is busy with their Thanksgiving preparation, but just in case you need a break from all the cooking and everything else it entails, I thought I would share with you our Christmas Tree this year!

Yes, I skipped the usual traditional colors for this year, a first for me since I wanted to do a Modern Rustic theme! Cant wait to show you the rest of our home later on once the tours commence.

I used my Flocked tree this year, and the Modern aspect of this theme is of course in the black and white grosgrain ribbons I used thru out the tree (and the house). I added my Faux magnolia leaf picks, pine cones and deer ornaments for the Rustic aspect of it.

I used a plastic paper Snowflake Lantern as a topper, a score from
TARGET last year.

A closer look...

I love these Wooden Laser Cut "MERRY" word from TARGET. For $3 I think they are the best buy (other than the ribbons) I had this season!

I also made this faux Gingerbread ornaments, a tutorial is coming up at a later post. ;-)

I also scored these beautiful Vintage ornaments from Thrift store

Of course in spite of all these "fancy" ornaments on my tree, I really could not ignore my important sentimental ornaments. I had to display them, and so they all ended up on the bottom of the tree...

I love that I placed them here because my daughter can see them well and tries exploring each one (also removing them ;-))!

I really love our tree this year, although like I say, I love all my Christmas trees but this one is slowly becoming one of my favorites!

And at dusk...

...simply more magical.

The family approves and loves the tree as well, but my oldest son hasn't seen it yet, I'm still waiting on his verdict. :-)

That is it folks, you know we will be celebrating Thanksgiving with our Christmas tree in place already. But since Thanksgiving and Christmas are all about family too anyway, I think it would be darn alright! ;-)

Have A Wonderful Thanksgiving 

with your Family!

P.S. Please don't forget this upcoming fabulous Holiday Home tours!
