Several years ago we had what the family calls The Orange Tree. Usually I do a different tree each year, but this one is back by special request. I couldn't help tweaking it though, you know me. I added some chartreuse to it, so technically, it's the orange/chartreuse tree.
We put the lights on and I intertwined some wide chartreuse ribbon. It looked so pretty like this, we almost stopped decorating, but decided to add the ornaments and see which we liked better.

I also placed some wrapped gifts under the tree. Look closely at the image below and you'll see that my tree skirt is a vintage fur stole. I always like to make my tree skirt something different. Sometimes I use fabric, other times I drape vintage tablecloths or velvet. One of my favorite skirts ever was
a silver-sequined jacket folded around the base.
We decided that we liked the tree with ornaments. I used pendant ornaments from West Elm, sequined ones from Michaels, and some covered in tiny discs from Old Navy. For the chartreuse addition, I used glass pear-shaped ornaments and filled in with glittery ferns.
It's hard to see them on the tree. Here's a close-up.
Ready to try something different next year?
Have a wonderful holiday.
