Our Christmas Tree in the Master Bedroom!
Do you decorate your master bedroom for Christmas?
Up until several years ago, I didn’t decorate it at all. And then, one year I decided to put up a Christmas tree in the master bedroom and I was hooked.
You might ask yourself, “Why decorate a room that no one will see?”
Simply because it’s your private sanctuary, is the exact reason that you should decorate it!
Adding a beautiful tree, no matter the size, brings just a bit more serenity to the space during this sacred time of the year.
It’s like adding a bit of holiday cheer just for you. Each morning when I wake, and see this beautiful tree, it brings a smile to my face.
I started with one of the most exquisite Christmas trees that I’ve seen, the King Flock Slim Christmas Tree from King of Christmas.
This tree is stunning, full and lush.
Since childhood, I’ve been smitten with flocked trees. My mother always wanted a flocked tree during the holidays, and for many years we tried doing our own flocking, using everything from the cans of artificial snow (what a mess!) to the commercial flocking kits, which had a better end result, but the process wasn’t for the faint of heart!
Today, it’s so much easier to buy a gorgeous flocked Christmas tree and this one is so pretty and realistic.
Even hubby was impressed, commenting several times about how beautiful this tree is, and he was very impressed with how easy it was to set up.
Each section just snaps into the previous one, and automatically the lights are connected!
I placed the tree in an antique French basket and added a furry white throw at it’s base, spilling over the top of the basket, adding to the snowy effect.
This year, I wanted to decorate with the classic seasonal colors of red and white, and the red ornaments look striking against the snowy background.
I tucked tartan ribbon among the lavish branches, letting it curl and cascade down the abundant boughs.
I love using matching ribbons on the packages for a coordinated look, and tartan is very trendy this year.
It’s so easy to pick up wide ribbon in a multitude of patterns and colors, and wind it through the tree, as well as adorn the gifts with it.
I always use the wired ribbon and curl it around my arm in sections. When it’s unfurled, it will keep it’s “curliness” for the perfect shape to tuck into the tree branches.
My last addition to the Christmas tree was a sweet bird’s nest.
One of my childhood traditions was adding a bird’s nest to our Christmas tree every year.
My mother always insisted on it, telling the story that good luck would come to any home that found a bird’s nest nestled among the branches of the family Christmas tree.
As an adult, the bird’s nest has become a charming tradition to add to our own holiday celebrations.
A bird nest, a bird sitting on its nest, or a simple bird, are the most natural of all ornaments to place on the branch of your tree.
No decorating is complete without Miss RubyLou dressed in her holiday finery!
I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing how we decorated this gorgeous flocked tree!
Cheers, Cindy
Disclosure: We were provided the tree by King of Christmas, but my opinions are 100% my own. For more information, see our full Disclosure HERE.
Your tree is beautiful and I love the basket and fluffy blanket!! Merry Christmas to you and yours Cindy!
I would love to see your current home’s Master Bedroom tree! I love your changing color schemes…what a gorgeous addition to your holiday decor. I do have a very small tree in my Master Bedroom…it is a tabletop size adorned with white lights and red crystalled wire wrapped around it. My special ribbon is the topper, and I have never changed it over the years. If I had a full size tree, I would consider rotating colors. We had a slim 7.5 foot tree for many years that I used in my entry foyer that was decorated with red, gold and white angels…I just loved it, but the tree got old and brittle and started breaking down after hauling it up and down the steps for years, so I got rid of it. I MISS THAT TREE…if I could have my way, every room in my house would have it’s own special tree!! The flocked tree is absolutely fabulous! May I ask, how do you store it? Does the flocking come off over time? Thanks for sharing your beautiful ideas.
Hi Beth! I store it in its original box! It doesn’t lose much flocking at all. So far, it still looks great!
I have enjoyed a Christmas tree in our bedroom for years, yes there is something about waking up to a beautiful decorated tree!
Your tree is so very festive – enjoy!
Beautiful! I need to do this next year! I have a tree that would be perfect.
Lovely! Wishing you and your family a blessed and merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, Lina!
Beautiful tree! I love your use of ribbon and your pup is adorable!
Beautiful tree! Love the color combo! ~~ Susie from The Chelsea Project
Thank you, Susie!
Beautiful! How do you attach the ribbon to the tips?
Thank you, Gina! I don’t attach the ribbon to the tips, I just push the ends into the branches and it holds.
Forgot to ask …. how many rolls of ribbon did it take??
I used two rolls, with about 12′ on each roll.
Hi Cindy! Your tree is beautiful as in anthying you do! Can you please answer a question for me? My daughter is getting this light fixture you have in your bedroom. Is your finish French Umber or the Vintage Copper? Thank you so much!
Thank you, Susan! The color of the chandelier that we have is French Umber!
Cindy,
Love your tree, all the decor and ribbon are perfect and stunning. I remember the flocked trees growing up as well as the pink flocked ones!!! Also, I had a real hummingbird’s nest that I placed on our tree every year. You just reminded me of it and I’ll have to try and find it. Thanks for sharing all your fun memories and traditions.
I’ve never had a pink flocked tree, Janine! A hummingbird’s nest….how wonderful! It will be a perfect addition to your tree!
Your tree is beautiful! Can you tell me the height of your tree?
Hi Chris! The tree is 7.5′.
Cindy, your tree is stunning
Thank you so much, Linda!
I love your beautiful tree, but where is the star or other topper?
Thanks, Joann! No tree topper here….for some reason, I’ve never been a fan!
By far, that is the prettiest, decorated tree I’ve seen… love the flocking n the elegant ribbon cascading down the tree… so simple but yet so
Beautiful!
Thank you, Emma!
Beautiful, beautiful beautiful Cindy!!! I love slim trees and flocked trees, so this combination is truly a dream tree!….So very enchanting to say the least!….and Miss RubyLou seems to love it too!
