Welcome to The Holiday Home Series. This year, I decided to loosen up and let the kids participate in the decorating more than I have in the past. The result has been true perfection. Not the kind of perfection we strive for when decorating but a truer perfection, the kind an adult cannot achieve.
Case in point, Hannah's Christmas Bedroom.
Hannah is my 11 year old daughter.
She is also my design assistant, my behind the scenes wingman. She loves a good project and puts her heart in everything she does.
She's my sounding board when I am stuck on a project. She gives it to me straight and her design advice is always spot on.
She re-designed her bedroom tree this year. I gave her a $25 budget for the project.
She combined new decorations with special ornaments she has collected over time.
Each ornament represents a different phase in her life.
Her tree skirt is actually her first ballet tutu. Oh, how I miss the ballet phase...
This year she decided to layer a turquoise sequenced tree skirt from The Dollar Tree over the tutu.
(Good call, Hannah).
She chose a white tree with colored lights.
Looking at this tree reminds me of how she has grown and represents her entire childhood. To me, it couldn't be more perfect...just like her.
Thanks for visiting.

ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute--she did a great job!
ReplyDeleteI loved this so much that I just had to show it to my daughter (also 11) and of course she now wants to have her own tree. Could you give some details on the size of the tree and where you purchased it? I can only find white trees with white lights. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAmanda, Thanks for stopping by and for the sweet comments. Walmart has the same tree. It's 3 1/2 feet tall, white with colored lights for $20. Enjoy ~Sarah
ReplyDeleteThat turned out so cute! She's really talented already.
ReplyDeleteJust stopped on over from Honey We're Home. Love this tree - it's so sweet! I'll be taking some time to check out more of your blog! :)
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm a married adult and I would replicate this tree in a heartbeat for my own home! I love the colors! I am a diehard fan of white trees, but my husband is far from a fan, so I pick my battles and stuck with a green tree this year. I love how the colors pop on the white tree though - so pretty. She did an awesome job!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful tree! A young talent!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tree! I love all the bright colors!

ReplyDeleteThis is just heavenly! I clicked on your tree at Thrifty Decor Chick, and when your blog popped up, I wasn't at all surprised, lol! I've been drooling over all your Christmas decorating this season! The apple doesn't fall far from the tree...it's obvious your sweet girly has your magic touch! Again, happy holidays! ~ Kerri, A Pop of Pretty
ReplyDeleteYou are such a fun mom! I am trying to envision what kind of tree I would have designed at 11. She did an outstanding job. That tree has a lot of personality!
