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.

    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!

It’s feeling pretty Monday like today but I did It’s feeling pretty Monday like today but I did manage to get a load of work done. That’s feels good for a start of the week. 💚 Design dilemma: did you know that changing the doors and trim work jn your house can bring it up to date? If you skip it during a renovation, your house will still look dated. Swipe to see a before photo in my house. Such a difference it makes, right? 💚➡️ Check stories for more details in my blog post.

Recently I wrote a blog post all about Chantilly L Recently I wrote a blog post all about Chantilly Lace by @benjaminmoore. First, I love Simply White. I’ve painted it everywhere in my house, walls, cabinets, doors, trim. The color is perfect in my house. In some houses it shows a yellow undertone. If it does, White Dove is usually a great choice. But this is what I learned about 6 months ago in a color course I took, Chantilly Lace has nearly zero undertone! 💚➡️ Be sure to check out my blog post on Chantilly Lace and all the real house examples. I also have posts on the best way to pick white & grey paint colors in your home. I’ll leave direct links in stories & in a highlight in my profile. 💚
