I thought I was finished with Christmas decorating a long time ago, but when we went to buy a tree for our church, I saw this one and had to have it! Unfortunately, they didn't have them in stock so I went on the hunt and finally tracked one down at another store a few more miles down the road.
The reason why I fell in love was because it looks so real! I have wanted one like this for a few years but the prices I was seeing made me say
"no way"! I just can't fathom a price being over $150 for a Christmas tree. Now if it were one of those trees that would fit into a mansion and was 10 feet tall, well then I could understand.
And when a tree doesn't need all sorts of decorations or lights to be pretty, then you know it's a gorgeous tree!
Being a foot taller looks so much better with the window wall. It's 7 and a half feet tall...our ceilings are 8 and a half.
I bet you're wondering where the other tree is now....
It is perfect in one of our guest rooms! Next year, I think I'll put it downstairs though.
I found a battery operated star for this space since I don't have an outlet. I love it!
So there ya go...I am never done with decorating, even with Christmas! I love my tree and am so thankful for being able to buy it. God has been so very good to us with my sweetie not having a job. This Christmas, so far, has been the very best ever because I have him home with us. I am one blessed woman!
Your home is so beautiful. I love so many of your clever decorating ideas. I bought a big tree once that was half price after Christmas. I used it two years...now I have a skinny tree and love it. I gave the big tree to my daughter, she is still using it. :):) Blessings to you and yours for a merry Christmas. xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeletegorgeous as always! your style is amazing ox
ReplyDeleteI love it, Melanie! It really does look real! My daughter bought one the day after Christmas two years ago. It was a $900!!!! tree with 90% off! So, with tax she paid less than $100. I had not seen it until this year and I thought it was a real tree. I love that you do so much for Christmas-everything looks so beautiful. I am glad you have your hubby home for the Holidays this year and after that we should start praying a job for him, I suppose? Too bad you couldn't pay him to stay home! lol xo Diana
ReplyDeleteI always love what you come up with! Having a handy guy around can be so useful...(albeit nerve wracking till employment is steady!)
ReplyDeleteDo you make slip covers for other folks?
