Christmas Decorating Dilema

My problem with Christmas Decorating is that I want to do it ALL. I can't for the life of me decide on one particular theme!!!

I LOVE the simple green and white, without much going on, just simple with a bit of French Nordic feel {like Jeanne d'Arc}
This is where I am at so far in the living room, and I really think I might just add lights and be done with it.
 
But I also love the white on white....
 This white tree went with me to markets to display ornaments, but it came home because I adore it. It was a score for $10 at a thrift store. 

I also saw white tree's new in the box at a Goodwill near me for $19.99....a little high I think for a Goodwill, but it's better than shelling out $50 or $100 for a tree. {I'm so ridiculously cheap!}

But then there's this...
 and this......
I have been hoarding vintage ornaments in pinks and aquas for a couple of years now. I have a couple hundred of them and I looooove them. 

So figuring out where they fit in is adding to my Christmas decorating perplexity.

Christmas might be over before I make a final decision!

    You CAN do it all. Mix it up and make your own statement. I just saw some green trees {fake} at Goodwill in Fort Wayne for $150!!!!! Outrageous!

    I can relate! After weeks and weeks of taking in all the inspiration--I am completely stuck! So I am building slowly as well..and hoping that in the end it just all comes together!

    : ) Happy Holidays from France!

    I love the tree all left in its original glory with just adding some lights to brighten it at night would be great. Simple and pretty is good. Then I saw your pretty bulbs Oh my not sure you need to leave that tree simple anymore!!!!! Which ever way you go it will be beautiful.

    I love it all too! I've been trying to convince the husband that one tree is just not enough. If I spot a white one-I'm not even going to think twice C:

    Oh I have that exact same problem! I tell my husband that the solution is to have multiple houses!

    If you wanted green but not a deep of green with your white style .What about spray painting your tree a light Easter green and add your vintage balls.

    I'm like that too, I love so many different colours and styles, I just had to decide on one because everything is so open in my house. Whatever you do will be lovely, I know!
    My first time to comment I think, usually I just cruise on through, love your photos!
    Hugs, Cindy

    Hmmm... I must admit, I'm a bit indecisive when it comes to things like this.
    I'm teetering between decorating at all? or NOT?
    Sad... i know.
    Hope you get it all together before the Jolly Fat Man comes! LOL... Pat

    Oh boy I see your delema..... They are all so amazing but the so compliment each other. My case is the same except I love some Christmas decorations that are extremely different. I love white on white but I also love the black plaid and the scandanavian and the shabby pink. Wish I could just pick one.

    I always put up a real tree and those old fashioned glass ornaments that I buy at garage sales. When we get moved upstairs I plan on having several trees. I've been hoarding ornaments too. I have the same problem decorating a house. I just need someone to decide for me!
