O Christmas Tree(s) - 14 Trees & Counting!

Merry Christmas!  And welcome to our home!

If our family was going to be featured on a TLC show, it might be called "14 Trees & Counting!"

Have a look...

Tree #1 - our burgundy & gold Christmas tree - greets you as enter in the foyer.

As you look into the family room, you'll see Tree #2.  This is our main Christmas tree and is filled with family ornaments.  Some of the ornaments go all the way back to my husband's childhood!

#3

Trees #3, #4 and #5, I refer to as the "triplets".  They are also in the family room along with the main tree and have red, apple green and turquoise blue ornaments.

I bought this wooden "Ho, Ho, Ho" and red mercury glass tree at Target on after Christmas clearance a few years back.

Tree #6 is in the dining room and decorated

with blue & gold.

Tree #7 is in our kitchen and has a variety of colorful ornaments

Moving into the living room, you'll see Tree #8

I bought these large ornaments on clearance last year from you guessed it - Target!  This Spring, we had the dark wood paneling in our living room painted a beautiful blue-gray (Sherwin William Comfort Gray).  And I was so excited to unpack these ornaments because I knew the antique white and gold tones would go so well with the room's colors!

In the corner of the living room is Tree #9.  It's a white tree with pearl bead garland and white & gold glass Martha Stewart ornaments.  I bought those ornaments many years ago from Kmart on clearance.  I've only felt brave enough to use them in the past few years now that the kids are older!

Last year, I remember the Nester placing a strand of lights in a lantern.  I loved it and couldn't wait to do something similar this year!

Tree #10 is our recent trash to treasure rescue.  Right now, it just has silver ornaments but I'm planning on adding a few homemade ornaments to help fill it out.

In our sunroom, is Tree #11

The sunroom tree also has these beautiful vintage looking ornaments from Kmart's Vintage Christmas collection.

Moving upstairs, you'll find Tree #12.  We call it the Candy Tree.  It has gumdrop garland, pearl colored bulb and various candy themed ornaments.


My favorites are these Country Living fabric cupcakes!

Last year, we had a tree in our upstairs master bathroom.  This year, I decided to put Tree #13 in our recently painted upstairs master bedroom.  I decorated the tree with navy blue and silver ornaments to match our bedding.



And last but not least is Tree #14.  This is our "Charlie Brown" tree.  It's small, scraggly and missing a few branches.  I put it in Ashleigh's room so the kids could decorate it with their toys.  But so far, it hasn't gotten much love!

And those are our trees!
Fourteen trees may sound excessive to some, but for us it's an enjoyable part of our Christmas celebration.
