Oh (faux) Christmas Tree

Yes I did. Call me crazy. I’ve decorated the Christmas tree already. With Thanksgiving running so late this year, I decided “what the heck!” Don’t worry though, it won’t be a pine-needle-less, fire hazard by the holiday. It’s an artificial tree sent to me by Tree Classics. I’m super impressed with the quality – it’s hard to tell it’s not real even when you are in the same room. The only thing I miss about having a live tree is the lovely pine scent that fills the house.

I selected the  7 1/2′ classic Fraser tree with clear lights because of it’s narrow profile – great for small rooms. Love that the lights were already on the tree and that they are LED! Assembly took me about 30 minutes from start to finish. I did have to pull in my hubby to put on the top layers though.

This year I went with a crisp white and rich gold color palette for the tree decorations. Tons of white feathers were placed throughout the tree and along the top of the Chinese cabinet. I also added a new new items this year such as the fab faux fur tree skirt (above), owl snowglobe (next to the white peonies above) and felt snowflake ornaments (below) I picked up at West Elm!

Happy Chic by Jonathan Alder JCPenney

jonathan adler at jcpenney

Have you checked out Jonathan Adler’s new “Happy Chic” collection at J.C. Penney? The two mega brands have partnered to created a shop-within-a-store.  Adler’s exclusive “Happy Chic” shops  feature colorful, fresh and of course chic decor items that sell for as much as half of Adler’s higher-end line. For example, “Happy Chic” sofas at JCP are $1,850, compared with $4,000 for the signature collection. I’m assuming the Adler’s signature collection is of higher quality, but in some instances price wins out.

Check out some of my faves…
