\"\"<\/p>\n

Our tree is up!\u00a0 Every year I like to put it up before Thanksgiving since that gives me more time to enjoy this favorite tradition without mourning that our time together was too short once I’m putting everything away come the new year.\u00a0 Per usual tradition as well, I go with a theme for our tree and this year I’m feeling white, silver, and red.\u00a0 Going back to classics but it still feels fresh!\u00a0 Initially I had different plans but quickly changed them when I found these gorgeous ornaments, which are all from Michaels (including the tree!)\u00a0<\/a>who I’m partnering with for the Dream Tree Challenge to share how I put together our modern, minimal tree.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

By “minimal” I mostly mean that you can see the majority of the tree itself.\u00a0 I always like to decorate the tree this way, especially when it’s pretty like this one.\u00a0 This is the 7.5ft pre-lit Jasper tree<\/a> and I love that it looks fuzzy and as close to looking real as a faux Christmas tree can.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A few years ago I added string globe lights to our tree and did it again this year because of finding these half dipped silver ones (at Michaels<\/a>, everything on the tree is from Michaels for real.)\u00a0 I love that when they’re not turned on they look like regular silver ornaments, but when lit up they add an extra glow and dimension to the tree.<\/p>\n

Snowflakes also seem to be what I’m into this season with the wood snowflake ornaments and silver snowflake jingle bell ornaments, adorable.\u00a0 The shimmering star bust ornaments are my favorite though and what inspired me to bring back red this holiday even if only in the smallest ways.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The ornaments came with the red ribbon and I adore<\/em> the way it stands out while being a subtle detail.\u00a0 It spurred my plans to wrap all presents with red ribbon this year too.\u00a0 About that wrapping paper- they’re old sheets from my Stendig calendar<\/a> that I get every year, meaning that I have a lot of sheets piling up in my closet waiting to get recycled, meaning I’m going to use this paper to wrap all presents forever.\u00a0 Luckily it’s my favorite wrapping paper of all time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

About that basket.\u00a0 It’s my favorite detail every time, and I’m guessing it’s yours too because I get a lot of questions about it whenever it makes an appearance.\u00a0 It also pains me to tell you that it was a HomeGoods find years ago and I don’t know where else you can get it unless you come across one by fate like I did.\u00a0 I can tell you it’s roughly 22″ in diameter and that it does not fit a standard tree stand.\u00a0 This tree sits in the basket just fine without one though!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I support any tree that looks like it’s on fire when it’s lit up, but I’m thinking this time I prefer these specific globe lights more when they’re turned off (here they’re turned on).\u00a0 Finding out in general that I like softer light for a tree, but the extra bursts of shine are definitely magical (word used by my husband when he saw the tree, aw).<\/p>\n
