This year I am taking part of the Balsam Hill Christmas tree blogger tour and I was dreaming of a white Christmas tree!

Dreaming of a white Christmas Balsam Hill Christmas tree - So Much Better With Age

Disclosure: thanks to Balsam Hill for this gorgeous tree. All opinion are 100% my own.

I’m so excited to be a part of Balsam Hill’s 2nd Annual 12 Bloggers of Christmas this year!

When I was invited for this tour, the first thing I said to myself was, I hope they have a WHITE tree!

I know a white Christmas tree isn’t the first thing you think of when you think of a Christmas tree but I am in LOVE with whites and neutrals.

And of course, I’ve been dreaming of a White Christmas.

So let’s begin the tour of the 12 Bloggers of Christmas.

It’s been a lot of fun to decorate for the holidays this year.

I love this Classic White Christmas tree from Balsam Hill. Isn’t it gorgeous?

I was worried that my neutral ornaments wouldn’t be noticeable on it, however I was wrong. You could put anything on that tree and it would be gorgeous!

My daughter loved the little tea party I made up for her today.

 Recently I painted this little table with Champlain from Fusion Mineral Paint. It was a curbside find and it turned out so good! (The stencil was also from Fusion Mineral Paint but is now discontinued).

This tree is 7.5 feet tall and the clear lights are so bright! I love how it illuminates the room.

My kids love it too.

I took so many photos for my Holiday Housewalk.

I recently shared the details of the ornaments on my tree along with other French decor details.

Those old school desks were an awesome little find on a recent junking day.

    Hi there! I love your white decorating, it’s gorgeous! I would love to do more with white next year. This year I am big into gold, which i love as well, but it’s nice to change it up. I just subscribed to your blog, I really enjoy it. Kind regards, Nancy (Stonecropsister.com)

      Jamie,

      What a beautifully balanced tree that shows off your ornaments in a lovely way. It also doesn’t cover up with tree but accentuates the uniqueness of the ornaments tat you placed on the tree. There is a romance to your selection of ornaments that I think is so inviting. I have four daughters so I was “in” at the tea party table though too. What a wonderful idea to use a completely white tree and have the neutrals in your ornaments reflect or repeat the natural element s in the mirror or wood piece on the fireplace as well as the baskets below. Soooo pleasing to the eye and such harmony to the room. You could definitely leave this up for a while after Christmas. It look as if its part of the room. Winter wonderful job.

    its absolutely perfect Jamie. I love the white tree but your rustic and home made decorations are what really does it for me. Its just a natural extension of your living room that it fits right in yet very festive and seasonal at the same time. You are such a talent!

They are all painted in the same paint color - White Dove OC-17 by @benjaminmoore. 💚 White is one of the hardest colors to pick for your home. It can pick up different surrounding colors which is why you can’t just Google a paint color and paint it on your walls. 💚 For my home, Simply White has worked the best. And White Dove is very similar. Swipe to see  some of these gorgeous rooms. 💚➡️ Check my blog post for tips on the best way to pick any paint colors for your home.

Our basement is the perfect place to store seasona Our basement is the perfect place to store seasonal / holiday / decor items. I’ve had plenty of it over the years (too much!) as I’ve been blogging for 10 years! I went through all my Christmas decor this year before I packed it all away and got rid of so much! It felt so good. 💚 Next, I’ll do the same for the other holidays coming up (like Easter, I have 2 bins just for Easter!). Decluttering is easier when it’s done in stages. I’m also really into minimal seasonal decor lately so I think it will be much easier to say goodbye to the extra ‘stuff’. 💚➡️ What about you?

Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms o Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms of square footage not how the builder or the previous owner used it. My dining room was once a family room but with our small main floor already having a living room and a very small dining room, we thought this room would be better suited for a bigger dining room (swipe to see the before with the cabinet, the before before when we first bought it and the reno) 💚 It pays to look at your home differently especially during this pandemic. I think we’re all going to look at how we use our homes differently going forward. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you use a room for a different purpose than what it was intended for? .
