Black and White Woodland Christmas Tree

Sharing is caring!

It’s one of my favorite days of the year, the big Michaels Makers Dream Tree Challenge! I absolutely love kicking off the holiday season with this post. It always gets me in the Christmas spirit and gives me a little jump start to decorating the rest of my house. Not to mention, all of the trees are SO inspiring. You have to scroll down to the bottom to see all of the Makers’ trees.

This year I went with a Black and White Woodland Christmas Tree. I love working with a white tree last year, so I stuck with it again this year but added a different theme.

This year, I placed the tree in the kids’ playroom. I had several different ideas going into the process of decorating the tree. But once I headed to Michaels and saw all of the amazing woodland christmas decor, I knew I wanted to do a black and white tree and add some fun plush ornaments that the kids will love.

Seriously, Michaels has their largest tree assortment this year, including colored and flocked trees. Check out all of their trees, ornaments and coordinating holiday décor on Michaels.com

Ribbon is a great way to add dimension to a tree and really make the look come together. For this, I used both an oversized grain sack ribbon and a faux fur ribbon.

Isn’t this guy so cute? Michaels has three different woodland creature this year, so naturally I got one for each kid :)

I love the look of multiple trees in one space. Michaels has tons of different tree options so I added two 4.5ft trees to create a woodland look.

I wanted this tree to have a few personalized touches. I found large black initial ornaments to add to the tree and I also created these personalized ornaments by transferring family pictures onto little wood rounds. I’ll be sharing the tutorial soon!

Do these come in my size?!?!

I found buckets of these natural wood ornaments and I picked up a bunch of these to use as fillers. You could easily paint them or stain them but I chose to keep the natural look.

This is always such a fun challenge! I’m so excited to officially kick off the Christmas decorating this year. I can’t wait to work on the rest of the house. But for now, I will just hang out in here!

Inspired to start decorating your own tree? Make sure you visit Michaels’ blog, The Glue String, to see the rest of the Michaels Makers’ dream holiday trees that were created this year.

Over the last few years or so, I’ve definitely s Over the last few years or so, I’ve definitely shifted my focus when it comes to decor. I have moved away from lots of styling and stuff and become a lot more “less is more” mentality. I like picking pieces that really stand out and make the space without having to add a ton of accessories. For example this carpenter’s table is one of my favorite pieces in our home, it’s a conversation piece, something that I truly love and makes a statement. I have definitely been more picky about what I bring into our home and I see that continuing! I’m always on the hunt for something unique! @liketoknow.it.home #LTKhome #LTKstyletip

It always amazes me how just a few small changes c It always amazes me how just a few small changes can make such a difference! And those few differences can really take a room to a whole new level! You can swipe to see the differences in this pic! Same room, same angle, I used left over paint to change the wood accent wall to black, switched out the throw pillows and chandelier to ones I already had, and added hung a picture from the other side of the room. That’s it! And it’s a whole new look! I’m sharing more details on the blog today with lots of links!

I swear, the second I actually fold all the laundr I swear, the second I actually fold all the laundry and put it away, the laundry bins are full again... one thing I NEVER feel caught up on! Do you fold each load as you do it? Or wait until you have a huge pile? I probably fold 1-2 times a week, I always put on a show and try and use it as some quiet time... #thisis30s

One of my favorite traditions we started since we’ve “been home”, is our weekly family movie night EVERY Friday night! We order take out from a local restaurant (we rotate who gets to pick the place) and then we cuddle up and watch a new movie none of us have seen. We’ve had to start going back to the archives a bit recently ha! But the kids love it and so do we. Having this space all finished so we can all lounge in here comfortably has been so nice. We haven’t picked a movie for tonight yet, last week we watched Beethoven circa 1992 and our kids were cracking up the whole time!

I finally found THE piece for above the mantel! We I finally found THE piece for above the mantel! We officially took down the TV and moved it to the wall. I was looking for either a modern artwork piece or mirror and I am in love with this one! It’s the perfect mix of simple and modern with subtle mid-century modern lines. I’m sharing more angles on the blog today with links.

Happy Friday! A few common questions that have com Happy Friday! A few common questions that have come up about the staircase gallery wall this week... 1) the wall color is called Rebel by Kilz 2) the print size is 16 x 20 and 3) I have two full blog posts dedicated to how I picked the prints and links to the frames and also another one on building out the wall. Hope that helps!

Would you believe this brick wall is just removabl Would you believe this brick wall is just removable wallpaper?! It’s simple things like this that can completely change a space. It’s great for rentals or apartments because it won’t ruin the walls when you take it down! I’ve used it in a few rooms of our home and I’m a big fan.
