Putting up Christmas decorations is such an exciting time of year! We are all home again and family comes together to set up the tree, pull out the ornaments, and keep my dog from marking and/or eating the tree. Although this is a joyous time, we often bring up the same conversation: We need new decorations. Everything here is from 1998. Our house is full of memories and primary school crafts, but it is lacking in a unified theme.
I think this is why, I have always loved The White House's holiday decorations. The way the designers always bring new blare and sparkle to the space, while still holding on tightly to the essence of the historical White House. So let's take a look at the White House houses decorations this year!
The Blue Room. The military appreciation tree is dressed in blue to honor Blue
Star families. Each ornament is dedicated to a military family as well as unique ornaments from every state and territory. I have always wanted to have a tree in every room!
Here are the decorations on the 16.5 foot Christmas Tree. I love gold as a holiday color scheme. I also love the variation in sizes and shapes for the for the ornaments. The roses, beading, and ribbon bring great texture in to the scheme.
These wreaths are hanging in every exterior window in the East Wing. This would be a great way to reuse our old balls if we bought new ones. (For the new ones I'm thinking blue and sparklyyy!!)
Here is the Obama's 2013 Holiday card. Its pop-up with 3d puppies! How great is that? I am glad to know the first family idolizes there dogs as much as my family does.
Cant forget to decorate the dog! Good boy.
Good luck with your holiday decorating. Don't be afraid to get adventurous. Happy holidays, everyone!
