A Farm Fresh Christmas Tree Sign is a fun way to celebrate the season with a rustic, farmhouse feel! Its adorable green trees of spruce, pine and fir give a simple nod to the tradition of cutting down your own tree. And the weathered boards in the background add a simple texture to the holiday decor.
I love, love, love the Christmas season, and decorating the mantel comes second only to decorating the tree. It's the star on top of the holiday decor, and it's the first of my home decor posts I share every Christmas.
I spend many nights curled up in my recliner flipping through Pinterest and magazines, gathering ideas for how I'm going to decorate the mantel each season.
Have you seen this super cute “Farm Fresh Christmas Trees” sign all over the place? I have too, and I absolutely adore it! The thing is, I've seen so many versions that I had no idea where the original idea came from. But lo and behold, I figured it out: it was created by Katie at Modern Mountain Life.
And a bonus!! She sells the actual Farm Fresh Christmas Trees silhouette SVG file, so I grabbed one {here} and made my own sign using her original design. Woo hoo! I love how it turned out! If you'd like to buy the sign or a stencil to make your own, you can do that here and here.
Here's a little secret, though. The sign is reversible. Yep! I couldn't decide between two ideas, so I made two signs, one on each side, and I'll show you the other side soon. I'll also share how I got the shiplap look. If you want to make a simple, basic large wood sign, you can check out my tutorial here.
I tried to keep the rest of the mantel simple, with my same galvanized baskets of lamb's ear that have been up there since summer. I kept the cotton stems from fall and just added some rustic pomegranate branches. (Check out a close-up of the pomegranates on Instagram.)
This “Let’s Mistletoe” pillow was just too cute to pass up. I try not to overdo it on throw pillows, so I limit myself to one new pillow per season. This one is adorable!
The wooden nesting houses are from the new Hearth and Hand with Magnolia line at Target. I wanted something simple yet cute to balance out the stockings on one side, and they were just the ticket! I love them, and they're such a great price!
My tree in the living room is our family tree, with all of the family ornaments we've collected over the years. I just love the history it holds. I dress it up a little with some plaid navy ribbon and those wooden skis I got from the Target Dollar Spot a few years ago. The ruffled burlap tree skirt was a find from a few years back, and I still love it.
I'll be sharing more spaces in my home over the next couple of weeks, so stay tuned!
