More Christmas Decor...The Tree

I gave you a sneak peak of my Christmas tree before Thanksgiving and I am finally getting around to sharing the finished product with you. I love the turquoise, green and cream color scheme that I changed to this year. While it doesn't scream "traditional christmas", it is still brings the spirit of the season into our home. There is lots of glitter and sparkle, just like on my mantel. My personal style is pretty classic, but my Christmas decor may be a little over the top...and I wouldn't have it any other way! :)

Two things I know for sure...

1. A photographer I am not.
2. I really need a new camera....Santa?

Enjoy all the fabulous trees!

My Christmas Mantle

Here are a few pictures of my Christmas mantle. Christmas decor around my house incorporates lots of sparkle and glitter. I just love how everything glistens and shines and how the light dances off all of the sparkly elements. My mantle is made up of a bunch of ribbon, glittery picks and a couple flowers for the focal point. There is no rhyme or reason to how I put it together. I just kind of stick stuff here and there, and then take a break and stand back and look at it. If I like it, great, if not, I keep moving things around until I am happy. I finished the mantel off by adding some candles and a couple of glittered trees. I probably should've taken down the painting and replaced it with something a bit more "christmasy" but, to be honest, it just seemed like too much trouble. Maybe I'll be more motivated next year!

I'll be linking up my post at these parties...

Orange and Turquoise

Happy Friday everyone! I hope all of you have had an enjoyable and productive week. Things have been busy around the Montgomery home. The kids had early-out school all week due to parent-teacher conferences. I don't know why, but having the kids come home two hours earlier totally throws me into a tailspin! I did manage to finish up a client's home this week and I am so happy with the results. I think my client is super excited about her newly finished space too! Pictures of the project will be taken next week and I will share them with you soon. Maybe I'll manage to get a little sneak peek up on Monday!?!

As a mentioned in my previous post, my client wanted orange and turquoise to be incorporated into the room. So, to take you into the weekend, I decided I would post some of my favorite orange and turquoise images for you to enjoy!
