Christmas Trees

I tend to go a little overboard; ok, maybe a lot overboard with decorating our Christmas trees, but I love doing it and finding unique and new decorations year to year. I usually build on what I have each year. We'll start with the large tree that is in the sitting area. This tree is decorated in pink, lime green, and silver.


This is the tree pre-presents. The picture is a little clearer; it is really difficult photographing lit trees!


Here is another picture of the top of the tree. Can you tell that I love decorating with picks? I have a hard time resisting new picks. The pink ones with the pom poms on the end are a new addition this year.


Let's take a closer look at the tree and hope that we don't have any Clark Griswold surprises ;)





This is the family room tree that is decorated in white, gold, and silver. When we put this tree together, it felt like it was snowing glitter. I do love the flocked tree though.



 I absolutely love the white peacock that I found at Garden Ridge. Anyone that knows me knows how much I love peacocks.


Here is a closer look at the white tree; some of these ornaments remind me of jewelry, which is right up my alley!






This is the small peacock tree. It is silver and decorated with peacock ornaments that I have collected over the years. I told you I love peacocks!


This is my newest peacock ornament that I found at World Market.






So what do you think; a little or a lot overboard? (Jett, don't answer that.)

I always think it's fun to see people go a little overboard for the holidays! Nothing wrong with that. :) Your trees are all beautiful, but I especially like the colors on the first one and the way it looks with those chairs on either side. Pretty!

You definitely have a talent for decorating Christmas trees. (The more bling, the better.) They are each so beautiful but I think the white tree may be my favorite. Wonderful job!

I think it is just fine. Not too much and not too little. Love the 3 tress, but I do have to say my favorite is the white, silver and gold. Gorgeous. I also love the white peacock. Beautiful.
TFS.
Come on over to my blog and see my decorations I do go over board.
