decorate with kate

I don't particularly like to decorate. Or I guess, I don't like to take down decorations. 

exhibit a: 
In undergrad, my roommates and I left our fake Christmas tree up until June of the next year…now given it was only like 4 feet tall and the decorations were just neon poof balls, so it was year round…so to say…

exhibit b:
We had a halloween party after we moved in, which was about four months later…we got a 10ft black bat (that was made from black trash bags and balloons that filled the body) to decorate. We hung it in the corners of the vault ceilings above the television. I named him Gilbert. He became our 5th roommate. He moved out when we did…2 years later…

Anyhow, last year I got a real tree, which you have to get rid of in a timely fashion…otherwise it just makes a huge mess. This year, I'm debating about doing the same thing or doing something completely different. So to pinterest and google I went for inspiration…

 
For Fake Trees: I love the white look with bright ornaments!

For Real Trees: I love burlap and white for decorations.

This one caught my attention, but seriously…never gonna happen. It's hard enough trying to put up a Christmas tree the regular way with one person…(thankfully my landlord is amazing and helps with random things like bringing in and putting my Christmas tree in its stand)

Now this, this is me, to a T. I love this, minus the branch wings…

Seeing these totally made me want to create my own version…so here is what I came up with...

What do ya think?

xoxo, kate
