Pajamas // A’s Pajamas // Tree Decor

 

It’s not Christmas unless you have family pajamas:) I feel like with Christmas Pajamas you have to get them in October or you’re already to late! It’s crazy! Everywhere sells out so fast. But I’m always impressed with Targets selection and they are usually priced pretty reasonably. This store is super cute too! It’s just a bit higher priced. Here

 

As some of you know I got in a car accident last week.. Luckily I was alone and no one got hurt! Let’s just say I officially need to go back to driving school and may my poor car rest in peace. I was of course on my way to Hobby Lobby.. The only way Trev get’s out of running errands with me is when I go to Hobby Lobby..  Trev is usually always with me and so I never drive.. when I do apparently it’s not the best thing. Anyways my spirits were a little down the next day and I didn’t want to go anywhere in a car.. so we spent the day at home wrapping gifts.

 

All about my TREE!!

 

I had lots of questions about my tree decorations from my snap story so here it is! Everything is from Gatehouse, HERE one of my favorite home furniture stores. I went to a wreath decorating class that they had at their showroom this year by Alison from The Alison Show. And it’s really what inspired my tree so I’ll share some things I learned.  And I wasn’t planning on sharing this so I didn’t take notes so this outline is just what I got from it, not the outline of the class, the class was much better!! The class was for wreaths but really everything applied to decorating a tree as well.

**don’t stay within the lines. a tree is a triangle and  you want to keep the shape but add demention. It’s okay to not stick within the strict lines of the tree. Have things that come out and change the shape a little bit with still keeping a triangle. So if you’re going to have sticks coming out, do the thicker ones and bigger ones at the bottom and smaller at the top. You want it to be balanced at the same time.

**MORE MORE MORE! If you know and follow Alison you’ll know she’s a lot! And that’s why people love her. More is always better. (I’m still not done with my tree and Trev laughs because I’m always adding something to it or wanting to go back to gatehouse)

**Shapes & Ornaments. don’t limit yourself to one shape and don’t limit your self to just ornaments. I think they call it foliage. flowers, leaves, sticks, berries, etc…

**Theme/Colors: I wanted my tree to flow with the colors I have in my house as well as my tree skirt I got last year. I just stuck within the color pallet of my home and added some burgundy to tie in my tree skirt.

**Expense. Start somewhere. Gatehouse prices weren’t bad at all and every year they have a killer black Friday sale. This year the week of black Friday they were 50% off. I learned not to go cheap. I find that I’m much more excited and feel good about what I get when it’s what I truly like instead of trying to substitute with something cheap and not as cute and nice. I’m usually over it the next year and want something better when I try to go for the cheaper stuff. I say get what you love and can do even if it’s just a few things and then add to it each year. Shop the sale at gatehouse. I’m not sure if they’ll do an after Christmas sale but that’s usually a great time to shop as well.
