Rustic Christmas Tree

November 25, 2016

holiday-home-tour-2-by-sawdust-2-stitches Alright you guys,  here it is… the moment I have been prepping for since Halloween day! (Yeah, you read right.)  The day I get to show you my  2016 Christmas Tree!   Don’t you worry,  I have plenty more pictures of the whole house coming tomorrow, but today I am showing off my tree!  holiday-home-tour-5-by-sawdust2stitches-comThis year I really gravitated towards more natural elements. One of the most prominent,  being grapevine!  I  used grapevine balls as large ornaments, and grapevine as a garland! ( I used one strand, and it will run you  about $10ish or less if you use a coupon at most craft stores. rustic-christmas-tree-2-by-sawdust2stitches-com  If  you are unfamiliar with Grapevine,  it often comes in a spool resembling a grapevine wreath.

img_4284ed You can add garland one of two ways; you can either leave it in long sections and press into the tree and work around it while add the remainder of your ornaments. Or you can try this!   I cut my grapevine into small manageable sections.

Look at how much character and dimension it adds to the tree! rustic-christmas-tree-by-sawdust-2-stitches

One other trick I have decided I love, is layering my ribbon!  It adds just a little more pizzaz to a traditional ribbon. After which, I add red berries.  Lots and lots of red berries! holiday-home-tour-christmas-tree-by-sawdust-2-stitches-com

Shhh… I am giving you just a small sneak peak  for tomorrows post, my Holiday Home Tour 2016!  Tune in tomorrow!holiday-home-tour-sawdust-2-stitches

Take Luck,

Corey

    This is without a doubt the prettiest rustic tree I have ever seen! i actually don’t even care fur rustic trees, although I love rustic. This has a current day feel that makes it more of a modern day rustic and it’s just beautiful!

    Hello,

    Your tree is gorgeous! I have been wanting to do something like this for a few years now. Can you give us more info about the tree itself? Who is the mfr? Did you purchase it flocked or was it a diy project? I have been looking for a flocked tree and haven’t been able to find one that I really like. Great job!

    Thanks!

    This tree is absolutely gorgeous, and I am totally in love with it! As you deconstruct your tree this year, I would love it if you would take and share pics of all the different elements you used. That would be really helpful. Thanks for everything you share!

Meet Corey

Hi everyone, my name is Corey, and I have a problem. I can’t leave well enough alone… The best therapy usually involves a variety of power tools. So, in the few “spare” moments I am not entertaining my two beautiful, rambunctious, boys, I can typically be found hunched over a sewing machine and/or covered in sawdust. All in the efforts to create a perfect balance of aesthetics and practicality in our home.

The bathroom reveal is LIVE! Here is just one The bathroom reveal is LIVE! 

 Here is just one small view of this new, improved, and somewhat magical bathroom.  I have been dreaming about remodeling my bathroom for years and I can finally say it was worth the work and the wait. 
 For real though, can you even get enough of this tile ?? I know I can’t get enough, but I certainly knew HOW much to get. Did you know that The Home Depot app has project calculators for a wide range of materials INCLUDING tile, so you  can know exactly how much product you  need? You better believe it!
 I have details about this feature and more reveal images on the site today.

Sneak Peek… of our completely renovated master b Sneak Peek… of our completely renovated master bathroom!  I have put off giving our bathroom a makeover for 5 years.  I think there are a lot of reasons people put off big projects … time, money, skills, knowledge, tools?  While The Home Depot can’t completely eliminate the list, they can certainly shorten it!  With a library of “How-to Guides”, helpful resources like “Project Calculator” and a vast inventory of tools to rent The Home Depot can certainly make any daunting project more achievable.

My organizing heart could just burst!! I’m still My organizing heart could just burst!! I’m still organizing the kitchen, but so far I have fit all the contents from the existing pantry AND freed up an entire lower and upper cabinet that contained pantry items.  #winning
Would you believe me if I told you that where this Would you believe me if I told you that where this beautiful custom-built pantry sits, used to be a small builder grade closet? Talk about untapped potential!? While the closet/pantry served its purpose, the space was not well utilized and was altogether unremarkable. With the help of The Home Depot this pantry is not only extremely functional it is a gorgeous feature in my kitchen. 
Sometimes we might look past or forget the untapped potential and resources. 
For example, did you know The Home Depot has a TON of resources to help you with your projects?  Did you know that you can do image search in their mobile app? Yup! Just take a picture of the needed item scan it on your app and find the product in a flash! In fact you  can add it right to your cart and have it ready to be picked up at available stores or lockers!
