Oh Christmas Tree

We knew that for the Homes for the Holiday tour we would need more than one Christmas tree.  We usually do have several trees.  This year we added a few.

Some trees were easy and small.  The bottle brush trees in the Santa mugs were put together quickly with a glue gun, vintage garland and ornaments.  I think these were my favorite trees because the Santa faces are so sweet.

The knitting needle trees are an easy to make tree.  I had three of them.  One was in the master bathroom, it was silver and gold.  One was on the message center in the kitchen, it was red and aqua.  The last one was red, white and blue for our U.S. Army Combat Medic's bedroom.  It is just threading  ornaments on a knitting needle.  If someone had tried to pick one up while on tour they would have had a big messy surprise!  The sparkle and ease of these trees make them my favorite trees.

Many small trees were tucked in throughout the house including the bottle brush trees at a hot cocoa station in the kitchen.  Shelly dropped on a wine charm for toppers and they were finished.  These little trees were my favorite because they filled in so many vignettes. 

 Our main tree in the living room has 600+ ornaments and vintage tinsel that I put on the branches one strand at a time.  So it's labor intensive.  It's my favorite tree since it holds a lot of bling, glitter, sparkle that I have so much fun finding while junkin' with Hubby and my friends.

 We placed our live traditional family tree at the top of the stairs on the landing.  There are blow molds around the tree and in the tree.  I used a lot of red, the guys' ornaments and white lights.  It's my favorite tree because it holds the memories of our guys being little ones.

 The tree in the master bedroom as you've read about earlier.  It's my favorite tree because it is so dreamy as we fall asleep.

 The guest room tree as you've read about previously.  It's my favorite tree because it's some pink in a house full of guys.

 The sitting room tree is an Evergleam with a rotating stand and a rotating light.  I used large shiney brites.  It's my favorite tree because it's so great to watch while enjoying a gin & tonic with Hubby.

 In Max's room it was a skinny little tree with burlap, pine cones and a mitten garland.  The garland was knitted by Leslie and purchased at the museum gift shop.  There are a few left on the shelves...

Shelly helped me wrap a few gift for under the tree using a moustache and striped wrapping paper theme.  It's my favorite tree because it holds the sweet mitten garland from Leslie.

 So three full size trees, three mid sized trees and a plethora of smalls.  Yep, that should do it.
Which tree was your favorite?
