Artificial vs. Real Christmas Trees: The Pros and Cons Your Need To Know

Artificial vs. Real Christmas Trees…let’s get into it!

I know it seems a bit too early to be thinking about a Christmas tree…

But! Here’s the thing – last year when I talked about our love for our artificial Christmas tree at a more appropriate mid November date, most of them had sold out!

After years of debating real and fake Christmas trees every Christmas season, we’ve made some solid observations.

If you too, are in this artificial vs. real Christmas tree dilemma right now, today’s post is for you!

The best home decor websites – to get the look for less!

 

So, today’s post started out as an update on our beach house remodel…(which is still long over due) you can see a pic of a guest bathroom for this project above.

But, it quickly took a different turn after a long conversation with a good friend.

The gist of the conversation was an answer to her question, “What’s a great place to shop for home decor to get a designer level look?”

I ended up going over several of my favorite home decor online sources with my friend.

This also answered her next question, which was basically wanting to know “how I’m able to do a majority of the shopping for our Rhode Island project, from my home here in Connecticut?”

Through the years I’ve found so many great sources for home decor and home accents online.

Since I literally just shared these with my friend, I thought I’d do a post shouting out my favorites over here as well.Keep Reading
