What do you think Betsy Ross would have thought of the white Christmas tree?
In 1776 would the white Christmas tree have been all the rage? I mean, I
know they were fighting the revolution and all, but what would they have thought
of this new take on the traditional Christmas tree?
Would Betsy put down her needle and the stars and stripes to embrace a white Christmas tree?
What if the white tree were covered in red velvet HO HO HO’s and red oraments and red crocheted Christmas garland, with tiny red stools tucked under it’s glistening white branches?
What if the white Christmas tree was next to a fireplace decked out with red
pointsettias…..
….next to a mantle with a glitter covered snowscape with 25 tiny advent candles….
….next to white chippy plates spelling out the sentiment of the season.
Or would Betsy have preferred the traditional green tree…..cut down on the farm….drawn by a horse drawn sleigh.
But something tells me that Betsy would have approved of my new look….the bright, white shining branches decked with red ornaments and festooned with red garland.
For after all….
….we all know she was a big fan of the….(get ready for it)
…..red, white, and blue 🙂
Merry Christmas!
Ok, I know I am suppose to be looking at the white Christmas tree, and it is pretty, but I just can’t help but notice the rest of the room. I love this room! This is so pretty. Do you mind if I ask the colors of your walls? And I LOVE those chairs!! I am sitting here drooling!

Well, I don’t know about Betsy, but I sure do approve! It’s darling for sure and I love the advent candles. If I had your gorgeous bedroom I would never get out of bed…or maybe I would to go sit in those pretty chairs!
I’m sure Betsy would approve! I was hoping you’d say this is your studio for photo shoots, it’s too perfect to live in! I love it, come help me….please!
Merry Christmas!
Debbie

Hi! Everyting looks so great! Thanks for sharing your blog. pkj 🙂
Kari,
I’m sure Betsy would have been jealous she didn’t think of having a white tree first!
It’s lovely dressed in red! Your mantle looks wonderful, love the decorations. You are a lucky girl to have such a fabulous master suite to retire to, so serene and peaceful!
Merry Christmas

Betsy would totally love the look. I bet she was a sassy broad who was always on the cutting edge of fashion. Even though she looks mean and drab in all the photos of her. They just must not have had flattering lighting back then. This room is GORGE, btw. Perfection.
Love this decor! Your talent is why I just awarded your blog with the Liebster award. This is an award for up and coming blogs. Visit mrshinesclass.wordpress.com to find out more about your new award!
What a pretty bedroom all decked out in red and white! I like your color choice for this room. It’s fun and whimsical.
Kari,I feel certain Betsy would get out of her chair and salute. The room is awesome. Award winning.
You must be in love with youtr home. All of that hard work paid in triple. I suggest you publish a book of the entire process.
I do not know if Betsy would approve but I sure do. The house is so beautiful and decorated for Christmas. Thanks for sharing. LOVE IT

Oh how I love a white tree. Yours looks striking with the red. The chippy plates spelling Joy is a splendid idea. Happy Pink Sat
Ohhhhhhhhhh my goodness, but this room is beeeeeeeeeeeautiful! -happy sigh- Takes my breath away. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm……..
And ol’ Betsy, bet she would have embraced it. Even if she did *have* to sneak a teeeny, tiny blue bow on there, somewhere. -giggles-

What a beautiful room! Love the red and white.
Happy Pink Saturday..xo Tami
Oh my goodness…one of the prettiest rooms ever! I just adore the white and red together!!
Betsy Ross was a very creative lady, so there’s a good chance she would have been a fan of the white tree surrounded by all of the clear red and your own beautiful take on Christmas!
Your bedroom is gorgeous, I LOVE everything in it.
Cindy

I am in desperate need of a white tree! Betsy would have sewn up a great star spangled tree skirt to go underneath!
Kelly

Betsy wouldn’t have known what a Christmas tree was….wrong century. But if she saw that room she would have thought she’d died and gone to heaven!
So glad I found your bedroom. GORGEOUS! Yes, I think Betsy would approve. She is a descendent of mine and I know she loves red and white like I do and of course some blue.
Just found your blog and will be following! Happy New Year
