Sooo.... I ordered a black Christmas tree on Friday. I'm not sure what inspired me to go in this total opposite direction (I've always had metallic or white!) other than I thought it was time for something with a little more drama...
I'm a traditionalist at heart, but you know that I like to shake things up with my holidays and do something a little unexpected. Christmas has never been red, white and green for me, so I'm starting to collect some ideas for where I'll be taking this black tree. I spy stripes, lace, birds and feathers, mirrors, snow capped branches, and plenty of lanterns - all with a very Indochine inspired vibe. What do you think? Extreme? Or exciting?

ooh...black christmas tree...I like the sound of it! I saw one kind of like that at target (more pewter than black, and with some metallic) and it was awesome! :)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the tree and corresponding decor!
ReplyDeleteTotally exciting. I love the direction you're going in with the lace and birds - and next year you can change it up completely! (And that's the definition to a good buy, right?)

ReplyDeleteI spotted a black tree this weekend, incredibly tempting but the white one was nearly half the price so I went with that. I can't wait to see what you do with it!

:Love the antique bed and the look of the room dramatically changes with such an antique addition to the room.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted a black tree - decorated in crimson, it would be to die for.
