I knew I wanted to find a “sparse” tree this year and was thrilled when I found this one online. I thought about keeping it super simple and not even really putting anything on it. But that didn’t seem very Merry. At first, I had it in the family room until I noticed everyone else in the family tipping their head sideways looking at it and saying nice things to mom like, “I guess it could be cool.” and “I’m sure it will look better with some lights on it.” They couldn’t see my vision.
So, I moved it into the master bedroom and gave myself free reign. I pulled out all of my coastal ornaments and ordered some clip-on lights since string lights would ruin the effect.
I know this may not be everyone’s cup of tea…but I love it. I love being able to see all of my ornaments and hope to add even more coastal ornaments to my collection. I wanted a tree that highlights the ornaments and this does that perfectly.
It doesn’t feel heavy in the bay window of the bedroom and I love that it lets the light flood through the tree.
Next year I want to find some kind of coastal basket to set the tree in. It would require a QuickCrete base to hold it though and I simply ran out of time. This is the year I declared I am going to decorate and then sit back and enjoy the season. Whatever is done…is done. Family time takes over and I am enjoying that soooo very much.
It’s also really pretty at night too. Night photography is hard but I tried to capture how pretty it is in the space.
Now let’s check out the rest of the beautiful Christmas Trees!
Such a lovely tree! Perfect for the space. Love the pops of blue. Enjoy!! ~~ Susie from The Chelsea Project
Thanks so much Susie!
Nancy
I love the understated elegance of this “minimalist” tree. It’s just enough without being too much in such an already beautiful space. I love how the ornaments compliment the gorgeous fabric on that chair.
Thank you so much Tasha! It has been refreshing to try something new this year.
Nancy
I love your coastal tree…love how it lets in the light from the window and the tiny lights are perfect. Your vision is coming through loud and clear. 🙂 What are clip on lights? No wires? Batteries? Solar? They look great.
Thanks Jeanne! Yes. The clip on lights are from Amazon. They are battery operated and come with a remote control. Although I have one rogue one that keeps turning on during the day. I think maybe the TV remote in the living room is doing it? They are fun though.
Nancy
Hi Nancy…I love your coastal Christmas tree! It looks beautiful in your room, and I think the sparse tree is perfect!
Thank you so much Wanda! I am loving this sparse look. I wouldn’t give up my traditional tree for it but it has been a fun addition.
Nancy
I love love love the coastal theme of your tree. And those lights are amazing!
Thank you so much Allison! I do love these little lights. They are super fun.
Nancy
If I were to walk into a shop that sold completely decorated trees and would deliver them set up in my home…….. Yours would be the one I would choose. It is so perfect and you can see and enjoy each and every ornament.
LOVE the captain!!
Sometimes fuller is not always better.
Oh Debo! Thanks for the compliment. I actually read this comment out loud to my hubby. Even he was like…wow! Have a wonderful week!
Nancy
Confession… I am not usually a fan of “coastal” but I LOVE your tree! It’s the perfect match to your ornaments, your room, and your coastal style. Would you share where you got your teee? My own creative juices are flowing with ways to use such a tree in my own decor. BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you Patricia! I ordered my tree online from Target. I just went online to try to find it and I don’t see it on there…although they have a 5.5 foot version for $70 right now. Mine is the 7.5 foot version. I hope this helps.
Nancy
Nancy, I was excited to visit your blog today. I KNEW you would have a beautiful Christmas tree. The style, theme and space are just as lovely as could be. It looks stunning in the evening.
I never thought of using clip on lights. SO smart!
Oh Meegan thank you! That is such a sweet compliment. The clip on lights are kinda fun. My little one loves the remote.
Nancy
I love that tree, its very simple and love the way its spaced out so the ornaments hang pretty evenly. Your home is so pretty! Love that bedroom with the architectual feature above the window. Maria
Thank you Maria! I made those window valances to give the bay window a little bit of French feel.
Nancy
Oh! Nancy! Your “coastal” tree is so nice! I just love the old sea captain ornament — so cute! It is so nice to see your tree as we would never see a tree like this way up here! And what a perfect tree you have found to display those lovely ornaments! Your “French” window valances are gorgeous! Honestly, Nancy, you are just so talented! Everything you do turns out so nice!
Enjoy your gorgeous home over the holidays! Blessings!
I LOVE it – from one “coastal” person to another.
Coastal is my thing! Your tree is just gorgeous! I want a tree like that with the branches apart. I love it!
Kim
Love, love your tree Nancy! My sister usually has a coastal tree…I so love them…Your tree is amazing…love the fact that the ornaments are so beautifully showcased between the branches! … and must say that I LOVE that chair!
Merry Christmas Nancy!
I love your tree! I have not seen one like that since I was a kid. You have some really beautiful ornaments too! The shells are so pretty!
Jeannee
Nancy, your coastal Christmas tree is just lovely! I am a blue person so I really love the shades you used to decorate it. It looks perfect in your bedroom. Thank you so much for joining us in this blog hop!
Your tree is so pretty – I love the coastal look! I love that little flamingo ornament! And yes, night photography is so hard – one of my goals for next Christmas!
I really like your coastal tree. The blue ornaments remind me of the ocean. Visiting from the blog hop
I’m on board with a coastal tree and have wanted to do one for years, but my kids feel the same way. They like traditional colors, so it’s been hard to move away from those colors. I love your tree and I may have to do a mini coastal tree for our bedroom too.
