Christmas Decorations 3 – Boudoir Tree

Posted on by

This is my last article on Christmas decorations for this year.  I hope you enjoy some of my decorations on the main floor.  I really edited my photos a lot, so you won’t see everything I have made, otherwise you would be bored to tears, I will just show some of the main things.

I will also share my most favorite Boudoir tree, the best way to describe it is to quote a song from the movie Burlesque, ” …a little bit of naughty is a little bit of nice…a whole lot of glam, sweat, sugar, sex, spice..”.  LOL  I created this tree out of my mind, I personally have never seen one anything like it.  I am sharing my secret tree so that you can create your own, if you dare.  The camera really does not do it justice, but I did the best I could to capture it. I truly hope you enjoy it.

This is my living room tree and fireplace. I decorate this tree with a little bit of a Victorian feel. The reindeer on the fireplace are those brown papier-mâché deer you find at craft stores. I spray painted them gold, then decorated them with garland, ribbons, flowers, beads, and misc. (The cat is real, LOL)

What Fabric are you?

LingerieI LOVE, LOVE, LOVE lace!!  There are so many different types of lace, so I can’t say that I have a favorite.

Lace can be very elegant for wedding gowns, lingerie, evening wear, or it can be dressed down. Lace can be mixed with all types of fabric including velvet, denim or leather.  It can be made with cotton, silk or wire.  I don’t care what it is made of as long as it is lace.  Ahh, Lace!

Lace is romantic, provocative and sexy.  Lace can be the whole garment, appliquéd on, as a decorative accent, or it can just peek through.  It can be plain, simple or embellished with beads, sequins or feathers. It can be country, victorian or royalty.  Lace can be sweet, demure and innocent.

I think lace is the most versatile fabric there is, because there are so many options on how to use it.

If I had to describe myself in the use of fabric I would probably describe myself as a piece of French silk lace hand embellished with exquisite beads and sparkling gems.
