Real Foliage For The Holidays - Small Tree Decorating Ideas

1

My eight foot Christmas Heirloom tree has been wrapped and stored under my deck the past three years. The first year I managed to find room for it, that was until my Korean cabinet arrived and took up the only space my tree could go. Since then I have had to make do with small, faux trees dotted around the house, this year I have decided to use some small, 'natural' trees as well as faux and have been looking around for some inspiration.

Pinterest is my favourite place for seeking ideas and I found plenty of small, natural trees and other inspiration. I believe that natural trees need less decoration than faux ones, in fact some require no decoration, simply an ingenious pot such as the vintage tin in image 11. They also have the added bonus of smelling delightful.

The first two images below are via Miss Mustard seed - Blogger/entrepreneur/mother, wife/photographer and creator of Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint, I think she is pretty much, 'Wonder Woman'. Marian is always sharing gorgeous photography of her home, and inspiring makeovers with her paint, so I encourage you to visit, you won't be disappointed.
