Christmas Decor...A Silver & White Tree

I did it...

I went with "sparkle" instead of my traditional red & white.

You can see the trees that inspired me HERE.

I LOVE how my tree turned out...

I bought a few rolls of ribbon, the star & this "Merry Christmas" sign from Tai Pan..

I I also found these beautiful birds there...

They really sparkle!

I I already had the snowflakes & some of the ornaments.

I was going to get a new tree skirt, but the only white one at Walmart was $36...too much for me to spend!

So, I got a yard and half of this material & it only cost 3 bucks!  

I also changed my decor on my piano to match my tree.

I love how it turned out!

I started by buying these 3 little houses & trees from the dollar store.

I painted them with some white craft paint & threw some silver glitter on the roof of each one.

I also "flocked" the little trees with some paint.  I love how it turned out!

Total cost: $5

I did splurge & added the silver deer from Michael's.  It was half off for $17.

I usually have pictures of my kids hanging above the piano, but I took them down and put up a wreath & mirror I already had.  I'm really enjoying the change!
Here are a few more pictures of my tree lit up at night!

 
I love this time of year!

I can't wait to show you how I added a little "sparkle" to my entryway & staircase too.
If you'd like to see how much different my tree is from last year, You can find it HERE.
