This is the view from the bottom of my stairs.
Since I caught the Christmas bug, I’ve dreamed of having a little indoor Christmas tree farm. And slowly, slowly, I’m working towards that goal.
I’ve been working on this tree from the moment I finished the work on the house, and I’m still working on adding a tree skirt to go with it. But I love it. I adore it. It seriously might be the prettiest Christmas tree I’ve ever seen, even counting in the ones I’ve seen at big outdoor malls or designer home decor stores where money is no option.
Christmas trees are so darn hard to photograph, they’re always more breathtaking in person. If I could have you all over for a big hot cocoa and cookie fest I absolutely would, but for now you’ll have to make due with my mediocre pictures.
We got this tree at a local wholesale floral design store and it came prelit and preflocked. Best of all, this tree has a combination of white lights – the usual little lights, and then a big bulb scattered throughout.
I’ve dressed the tree with snowflakes made from every kind of material, everything I could find that shimmers, glitter and more glitter, and every crystal I could get my hands on.
Over the next few days I’ll feature some of the ornaments I’ve made and share how I accomplished this. I’m so in love with the sight this tree makes at the top of the stairs. It helps me feel like it’s Christmas, even here in snowless San Diego.
I love the snow flocked tree, especially against the backdrop of the blue wall! So cool!
