White Christmas Tree {Our Big Christmas Tree 2013}

72 shares

You guys! You know how I’ve been talking about wanting a white Christmas tree for a couple years? Well, my dreams have come true! Last year after Christmas I scoured the Interwebs looking for one. When I was about to give up hope, I came across a pre-lit 7 foot white Christmas tree on sale for $100. Sold.

Brad wasn’t sold on the idea of a white tree. But since it was on sale I did my usual buy-now-act-clueless-later bit. As Brad was lugging our Christmas decorations back into the attic back in January he said, “Is this another tree!?” It was still in the shipping box and didn’t say “THIS IS A CHRISTMAS TREE” on it so I mumbled something and walked away. It totally worked, and I didn’t hear about it again until Brad dragged it out of the attic last month.

The main reason I wanted a white Christmas tree was because I thought my glass jewel toned ornaments would pop on it. And do they ever.

Gorgeous white Christmas tree with jewel toned ornaments!

Photos don’t really do it justice– it’s five times prettier in real life. I’d have you all over but we just shampooed the carpets.

The ornaments are from Target, circa 2007. I scored 9 boxes (15 ornaments per box) for $2.50 each (originally $9.99) at their day-after-Christmas sale. Seriously, hit up those December 26th sales, people. In case you missed it, here are my 10 ways to save money on Christmas decor.

Now, I know this tree may not appeal to everyone’s aesthetic but I love it. Mostly because it is different. And shiny. And colorful.

The tree looks really pretty at night. Again, the pictures don’t do it justice.

I made the no-sew white fur tree skirt for $15. I’ll post the tutorial tomorrow.

Every year I make Jack sit in the front of the tree so I can get his picture (here’s 2012 and 2011). And every year I bribe him with treats to get him to sit and stay.

When Jack was done being photographed I told him he could go lay down. He must have thought I was hiding more treats because he moved closer, sat right in front of the camera (which was on a tripod), and stared at me and my treat-less hands. Just like this.

He looks both pitiful and creepy.

I’m already thinking about what I can do with the white tree next year.

    Where did you find that white tree for such a great price? I ask because we have a white tree, too, but it’s gone all bleached yellow on one side because we place it against a window (there’s nowhere else in our small condo to place it) and we’re thinking 2013 is its last year, so we’re on the lookout for a replacement.

    Your tree looks beautiful. I love the blue ornaments, especially!

      Hey, Emma! The tree is from Kohls.com. However, I just looked and the exact tree I got is no longer available. I’ll let you know if I come across another one for a good price!

        Thank you, Chelsea! We love Kohl’s, so if that one does happen to come back in stock–or a similar one is available–then that may be a great solution.

    Wow. That tree is so beautiful and bright. Much needed at this time of darkness as we approach the winter solstice.

    The tree is a gorgeous contrast with the jewel tones on the white and I love the tree skirt. I’m at work and actually laughed (loudly) when I saw the picture of Jack staring at the camera. Priceless, I’m glad you included it!! Now go give that poor boy a treat!

    You’re right—it really does pop. Can’t believe you were able to find a tree like that in late January. I would think they’d all be snatched up before the new year hit!

    GORGEOUS!!! we just purchased a regular green tree last 2 yrs ago, so i still have to wait another one before buying the white tree but This is the exact reason I want one. Green trees just don’t do colored ornaments justice

    Beautiful tree Chelsea and adorable Jack. I think you got just a tad bit excited in your explanation of your tree. December 26th is the day after Christmas, not January 26th. You’re forgiven. Be sure to put Santa’s cookies out of Jack’s reach. No Santa cookies means “coal in stocking”.

      Thanks, Pat! You know, Brad sent me a text yesterday morning, while I was out running errands, telling me about that typo. Clearly I completely forgot to fix it once I got home. Thanks for reminding me! 🙂

    Super pretty. We had a white tree after our wedding (We used tehm in the decor) and I really loved it until it met an unfortunate demise. (RIP, tree.) Anyhoo. Love yours with the jewel tones.
