Silver Sparkle

Here's a little peek into the mini silver tree that I set up in my living room.  We put the larger tree in our family room and it's not quite finished so I'll just show you this one for now.

 I used a small side table that I normally keep up in my guest room to set the tree on.

 

For the tree skirt, I just grabbed some leftover linen fabric I had and wrapped it around the base of the tree to cover up the unattractive parts.  I'm pretty happy with it.

What do you guys think of it?  Do you have more than one tree in your house?  Anybody use non-traditional trees like this silver one or do you just stick to the green variety?

Trying to get in the mood

Everywhere I look, Christmas decorations are popping up.  As soon as Thanksgiving is over it seems like people(and retail stores) are just hopping to get the Christmas spirit going.  Now, although I love the Christmas season, I'm not really in the mood to rush Christmas this year.  It's probably because there hasn't been snow on the ground yet really and I need that to feel Christmas-y.  And this year has flown by so fast that it just doesn't seem right that I will be turning 28 already in January.

But since many of my friends and family are already putting up those decorations, I figured that I better get in the mood for Christmas ASAP or I'll be too late in putting up the tree when I get back home.  I was browsing through some images to get my Christmas ideas flowing so I thought I'd share some inspiration with you!

 

 

 

Hopefully these images will spark your decorating imagination as well as mine!
