BOTTLE BRUSH TREES–Vintage Inspired Christmas

December 18, 2018

The other night I finally had time to catch up on some blog reading. Boy oh boy have people really gone all out with their Christmas decor this year. From trees and mantel decor to holiday tablescapes, I found so many beautiful images to pin to my Merry, Merry and Entertaining Pinterest boards. If you’re needing some last minute decorating or entertaining inspiration, hop over and follow me on Pinterest.

One of my favorite holiday decor themes this year is bottle brush trees. These cute, whimsical trees have been around decades and have regained popularity over the last few years. I actually wanted to learn more about the history of bottle brush trees and had a hard time finding any information. What I did learn was that in post-war times, the Addi’s Bottle Brush Company began to dye their toilet bowl brushes and assembled them into Christmas trees and wreaths. I never would have guessed that this was how these cute trees got their start.

There are so many ways you can decorated with bottle brush trees. I rounded up some of my favorite bottle brush tree Christmas decor and thought it would be fun to share with you today. Enjoy!

BOTTLE BRUSH TREE DECOR

I love this colorful tabletop vignette showing bottle brush trees in a forest like setting.

Diane at In My Own Style pulled together this sleek and modern mantel decor using candles and trees. The combination of white candles and green trees creates a winter wonderland feel.

fyi–I spotted shaped bottle brush trees at West Elm but unfortunately they are no longer available.

Bottle brush trees looks great in a small grouping or massed out like this display on a vintage hutch.

You can find bottle brush trees in just about every color in the rainbow. This combination of white, black and ivory trees creates a nordic feel.

A grouping of three trees can add a holiday touch just about anywhere in your home. This grouping on a cake pedestal, surrounded by free cedar branches is perfection.

Here’s even more inspiration for you…

Now that I’ve fallen in love with bottle brush trees, I hoping to score a few at after-Christmas sales. I also found a great source online with an amazing assortment of trees in every color and size you’d want.

Holiday Decorating Ideas From The Merry & Bright Holiday Home Tour

December 17, 2015

Whew! The Merry & Bright Holiday Home Tour is a wrap! I’ve loved getting to snoop around the holiday homes of my talented blogging friends and hope you all have too. Not only was the decor inspiring but I picked up several new holiday decorating ideas and tips along the way. I thought it would be fun to share a few of my favorites with you!

I love this simple yet bold mantel decor from Yuni @ LoveYourAbode. The large hand scripted sign really makes a statement and the black and white color theme is so refreshing.

Kellie from Design Asylum really showed me how beautiful pattern mixing can be in a tablescape. I love the tartan plaid mixed with a traditional scroll pattern and those malachite print napkins. Now I’m on the hunt for plaid plate and next year I’m definitely going to go all out with the pattern mixing on my table.

I’ve always loved decorating with fresh greens and Elaine from OMG Lifestyle showed me how beautiful natural greens can look in a vase. A great alternative to fresh flowers.

I have a lot of glass cloches but have never showcased ornaments in them. After seeing this (and others) from Kate @ Chic On A Shoestring Decorating, I’ll definitely be stealing this idea in the future. Such an easy way to create a holiday vignette.

Tamyra from Positively Southern provided lots of inspiration on how to dress the newel post at the end of the staircase with this beautiful ornament cluster. Definitely another inspiring idea.

Even little touches like these lamp ties can make a big impact when decorating. I’m inspired to drape all the lamps in my house thanks to Marsha at M.Jones Style.

Debbie from Refresh ReStyle has so many beautiful holiday touches thought here home but her front porch urns were really impressive. An all it took was a few clippings from mother nature and an artful arrangement.

And Amy from Amy Howard Social showed us all how to create a fun and whimsical holiday tablescape for the big and little kids in the family.

An in case you’re wondering what the favorite part of my holiday home is, it has to be my tree because of the family photos.
