Hello friends. It’s been quiet around here. I’ve had some deadlines and because of this very post. It’s that time of year again. The Michaels Dream Tree Challenge. One of my favourite posts to write in the year. But even though
it’s my favourite post, it’s also the one that gives me the most stress. I feel so much pressure to come up with new and fresh ideas because I don’t want to disappoint you.
So I hope that this green and blue plaid Christmas tree gives you a little inspiration.
The inspiration for the tree is this plaid green ribbon from Michaels….
This gorgeous pillow and green throw also influenced the entire look of the tree.
I love how all the plaids coordinate …
Here is a look at the tree…
It’s somewhat similar to last year’s but this year, I wanted to combine the relaxed feeling of a log cabin but also add some elegance with the green and blue jewel tones.
I’m calling it cabin chic.
I placed a furry throw as my tree skirt and surrounded it with logs, fake snow and some faux greenery.
I also added a little moss to create a little woodsy feel…
I took a couple photos of the steps I use to decorate the tree…..
I start by weaving the ribbon in and out the tree starting at the top. As you can see it’s not even or perfect. I also have a little ‘trick’ I use to save ribbon.
You can watch the video HERE.
I then used some picks to fill in any gaps. Usually placing them in a ‘zig-zag’ pattern and in uneven numbers.
I used THIS garland and draped it diagonally on the tree…
I then add the ornaments here and there, making sure some are inserted into the tree and some are hanging on the outer branches.
I added a few little birdies….
I always make sure there is a handmade ornament…:)
I also used some deconstructed grapevine wreath and added some of the vine here and there….
I added a couple of smaller pine trees to either side of the tree to tell more of this forest story…
Michaels has such a cute selection of decor again this year. And as I type this, it’s all buy one get one free…:)
Hehe…I had some extra fabric that I used to wrap the gifts which made for a ridiculous bow for Brody…lol
Here is a little surprise…
There are TWO trees in the room this year…:)
And I LOVE the night time glow of them both at night. It fills the room with so much warmth.
So there you go…this year’s Christmas TREES. Phew…that was nerve wracking.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. Come back tomorrow so I can share with you the most adorable ornaments I painted the other day…:)
Hope you see you soon.
Much love,
Lucy.
Oh Lucy, this is GORGEOUS. I hate that you ever feel nervous or pressure to not disappoint because you NEVER do. You are a true artist in everything you do. I love this cozy cabin look. I’m very traditional in my Christmas decorating (always red) but you have me rethinking that. I adore this and will staring at these photos for a long time! I love the way you added the extra greenery, moss, small trees, deconstructed grapevine wreath- just AMAZING.
Wow, those trees are stunning.
Thanks for sharing your hard work!
Beautiful! And you have the best model!!
Lucy how is it you keep getting better and better? This is just amazing! I love it all, the colors the plaid the grapevine it’s a magnificent job. Pinning!
Absolutely Lovely! Just wondering where you purchased the wider navey and green plaid ribbon that is also on your tree?
I would like to know as well, please share! 🙏
I have a little Christmas tradition where I anxiously await your Christmas decor especially your tree. I silently vow to myself that although I know it will beautiful, I won’t love it as much as last years. Every year I am wrong. This year is the same. Like every year before, this tree looks like perfection. I know that word probably makes you uncomfortable. But it true. How do you know what I want to see before I do?
It’s beautiful. You always come up with unique and fresh christmas decor ideas. Love it! Great job, as always.
I always look forward to your Christmas trees and this years is absolutely breathtaking!! Love the blues and green and that plaid ribbon is perfection!! You never should worry about disappointing because you are truly so creative And talented!!!
Your tree and room looks GREAT! VERY inspirational! But the very best is Brody. What a sweetie all wrapped up like a gift. ♥
I always anxiously await your Christmas decor and think how can she even top last year. So beautiful! Where did you get your tree from? Gorgeous and so life like! Love the step by step, helps us who aren’t so talented see how to do it!
Lucy, your trees are very lush and lovely–and very unique. I’m not familiar with the Michael’s challenge or tree contest or whatever it is exactly. Is it just for bloggers? Fill me in, okay?
Incredible!!
Lucy, you never fail to amaze and delight! Never, ever, doubt yourself. What a joy you are and your talent blesses us all!
Thanks, friend, for all the inspiration!
Gorgeous!!! Lucy your creativity is so inspirational, thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us all. I tried to watch the video but for some reason the link just takes me to the static picture Instagram, am I doing something wrong?
First time to view your Christmas trees and decor. Absolutely gorgeous. Two trees adoring your fire place, awesome. Now to purchase another slim tree and I too will have trees on both sides of our fireplace in our family room.
Love the plaids!
LOVE this tree!!!
Lucy, you did an outstanding job.
I’ve been searching pinterest and blogs for this color theme, so happy I dropped in to this beautiful post.

I LOVE THIS! Love the blue and green plaid, love the subtlety of the tree. Love that it is sophisticated and simple at the same time.

Deference to article author, some good information.
Your share is the great knowledge I have gathered, Macivris xelosani you are an important person I admire, thank you
I absolutely fell in love with this Christmas tree and all of the plaid decor you chose. I have been searching endlessly to recreate this for my tree this year (2021) and NOTHING. No one has blue and green plaid or anything similar. I am heartbroken. Any suggestions? Do you ever sell previous years Christmas tree ornaments, ribbon, etc. Still shedding tears…. I hope to hear from you.
Can you tell me by chance where you got all your ornaments from?
Do you have a link to your ornaments? Specifically the navy blue ones and the dark green? Such a beautiful tree!!
The presentation style is straightforward and authoritative. Very well expressed.
Nice decorated
