Silver Aluminum Christmas Tree

In the Charlie Brown Christmas special there is a scene where he is on the Christmas tree lot and he walks up to a bright shiny pink tree and knocks on it. The tree rings hollow and sounds like metal. To this Charlie Brown say's "Good grief."

Well I always thought that a metal Christmas tree could be quite beautiful if treated correctly. This year that is exactly what we decided to do in our apartment. Almost all the bulbs are glitter covered in shades of blue and Silver with hints of red. 

 I think overall it turned out to be not such a bad tree after all. And it really fits in for a New Years Eve party. If you are interested in getting a vintage aluminum tree like this I would suggest searching eBay. 

Red and Gold classic Christmas

This is the Christmas display made for the entryway of our house. I wanted to do something that looked classically rich and deep, like a Christmas display at Marshal Fields. The fact that the table is red was the perfect jumping off point, it's from Pottery Barn and is called the leena media console. 

Most of the reindeer have been collected over the years from Target. The beautiful red bulb tower was from Pier 1. The mini bulbs in the votives and the kerosene lamps are from Pottery Barn.  The giant decorative bulbs are actually plastic and meant to be outdoors.


The combination of these elements comes together quite well and are tied together with red Christmas lights at the base.
