I'm so excited to be participating in Lindsay of The White Buffalo Styling Co. Christmas home tour! There are so many amazing bloggers participating - I'm so honored to be included!

This weekend we started decorating for Christmas (I know we're late :) We've been traveling a lot so we finally got a full weekend to work on projects. Yay!

For our Christmas tree this year, I decided to focus on texture, contrast and shine. As always, it's mostly DIY!

I made a feather garland by gluing loose feathers to yarn. I love the softness that it adds!

I finally made my first gold urchin (took me long enough :) using styrofoam balls, toothpicks, and gold spray paint.

I printed a few letters and then cut them out of chip board and spray painted.

I glued black and white paper clips on the back to attach them to the tree. Finally, a few pennant banners made from gold glitter ribbon and contact paper that I drew a diagonal stripe on.

I collected a few pine cones and branches from the yard. I miss California's weather, but it's nice to actually feel like Christmas here!

I found this brass pillar candle holder from Goodwill for $1.30 (LOVE thrifting here!!)

I simply placed one of the urchins on top of the tree as a topper - it just stays in place :) Thanks Bethany for the inspiration!! The tree skirt is a striped tablecloth that I folded up. It definitely feels more Christmasy here .. now we just need snow!
