While most kiddos were decking their halls with pumpkins and scarecrows, we were trimming our tree! All I could think was how crazy our neighbors must think we are when they look in our window and see a tree up already! I was honored when Home Depot asked me to be a part of their holiday challenge. Here is a sneak peak of what we dreamed up. 
To see all the details of this nature inspired tree you can head over to the Home Depot blog. Over there I give you the downlow on the DIY ornaments {all super easy} as well as the bucket used in lieu of the stand. You can also check out other bloggers’ Christmas Creations at the bottom of my post over there. I think you’ll find some amazing ideas.
Yay! You finished and it looks great. Wonder how it smells 🙂 Fun doing this "with" you!
This is so beautiful! I would love more info, sources, and even a tutorial for how you used the bucket instead of a traditional tree stand.

I was perusing the homeDepot site last night and ran across you- and said hey I know her!! It looks lovely!! Im loving golds, and creams this year. Great job!
That looks awesome! Cannot wait to see more 🙂
The peek is perfect, heading over to see the rest!
I love seeing all these Christmas ideas early – gives me great inspiration for when I'm ready to start decorating. Love all the golds. The leopard stripe are a fun touch!
I know I commented on twitter but I simply wanted to leave you a comment as well. I loved it all. Absolutely stunning.
Looks beautiful! We put up outside Christmas decorations this weekend…it's never too soon, right?!?!
Beautiful! Riley looks so pretty in her white dress.
That first pic of Riley is so beautiful! Your tree looks so pretty! I'm heading over now to check it all out!
Oh that first pic is gorgeous!! Can't wait to see it all. haha I'm sure your neighbors knew you had something interesting going on seeing your tree up! Too funny though!
Your tree looks gorgeous! I'm absolutely dying to get mine up and start decorating, but the husband is making me wait until after Thanksgiving! :
I'll just have to live vicariously for now 😉
Hehe, and who even cares what the neighbors think when your tree is that *gorgeous*?!? (c; I'm so excited to get the tree up! It's day after Thanksgiving every year because the husband would be bugging out if it was up before then! And how sweet is your little angel in that white dress??? Adore that!
Look at R in her pretty dress! You did some serious styling for that set up!!
All I have to say is I can't believe it's almost Christmas!! Headed over to look!
Ok that picture is just precious! Gorgeous decorations! I simply cannot believe Christmas is around the corner…this time last year I had a BIG secret I was keeping!! 😉
Is the planter from Home Depot as well? Ballard Designs has something like this that I've been eyeballing for quite some time. Could you share where you purchased the bucket and explain the bracket system you used for us DIY'ers? Thanks! 😉
