Cabin Chic Christmas Tree

When do you start putting Christmas trees up around your home? I do mine in a bit of a delayed process over here. I start with my first one around now and then we cut a real tree down for our main living room so that always comes a bit later in the season so it doesn’t dry out. But I have our first tree up for the year and decided to put it up in our outdoor living space. I went with Cabin Chic Christmas Decor out here, a mixture of woodland pieces, faux fur and of course a little black to modernize it a bit.

I’m going to give you a tour of this space today and tell you how to get this look for your own home! I’m also joining 20+ other bloggers this week as we all share Christmas Tree Decor in our own homes, if you are joining me from Amber Oliver, welcome!

While I have been minimizing the decor in most of our home over the past year or so, I definitely didn’t skimp out here. I decided to go all out and give it a very cabin chic, extra cozy vibe for the holidays.

With the large stone fireplace, I wanted to feel like I was in a cabin in the woods (which isn’t too far off from our house!) .

Cabin Chic Christmas Tree

I haven’t put a Christmas Tree out here for a few years and it was time to bring it back again! I love how it instantly transforms this area into a winder wonderland.

Woodland Christmas ornaments mixed with modern black ball ornaments

On the tree, I added a collection of woodland ornaments I have gathered over the years along with a faux fur trim. And I topped it off with a few round black ornaments. I kept it simple but also festive.

Tartan Christmas Decor

decorate your outdoor patio for Christmas with multiple Christmas trees and tons of Christmas decor for a festive outdoor space for the holidays.

I never thought of myself as someone who would love tartan print, but I must say I have been really warming up to it over the years. I like pairing it with black accents and geometric pillows to give it a more modern eclectic look.

I found that wool blanket at a vintage market and the pillows were from Porter Lane Home.

As soon as I finished shooting this space, my kids asked if we could cuddle up in blankets and sit next to the fire together. SOLD! We sat out there for an hour or so and just had some really great moments together. Sometimes it’s those simple sweet times that make the biggest difference in our day.

I encourage you to hop to Cherished Bliss to see her gorgeous tree!

My goal with every room is to make it feel warm, i My goal with every room is to make it feel warm, inviting and extra cozy. It’s often the final finishing touches that truly transform the vibe of a room. I picked up some final styling pieces from @wayfair , I am obsessed with both side tables. They are both statement pieces. And the personal photos, candle, heart trays and leather pillows are why bring the warmth and personal touches into this space.

I finally found the perfect family and pet-friendl I finally found the perfect family and pet-friendly sofa that passes the designer test! This is the 5-Seat Modular Corner Sectional from @7thavenueco in the color Oatmeal Beige. We ordered it in the extra-deep seat option for ultimate coziness. The material is water-repellent, stain-resistant and you can also throw all covers in the wash!

We cannot say enough great things about this sofa, we all love it and just sink into it. It definitely passes the family test. Plus, it truly is gorgeous. It looks very chic. 

Comment SOFA and I’ll send you the link to this exact one!
