Inspiration: Aluminum Christmas Tree Card

Jamie and I are big fans of midcentury modern. We live in a 1959 ranch house and appreciate the clean lines of a modern dwelling. Several years ago Jamie found an Evergleam aluminum Christmas tree on eBay (major score!). As recent homeowners, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity for a modern Christmas tree, so the Evergleam Christmas tree has been with us for several Christmases now.

With that in mind, our aluminum tree card has a special place in our hearts. Not only does it have a bit of nostalgia with our families (I have a photograph of my mom around the age of 10 standing next to her family’s aluminum tree), but it’s the vintage tree that we pull out each year and decorate. We love how well designed it is– it doesn’t matter the branch, it just fits according to the trunk hole. And we love that a single-color ornament can make such an impact.
