If your family celebrates Christmas, you probably took the Thanksgiving holiday to find a fresh tree (a memorable moment for most) or to take your faux or vintage tree out of the box. Whether yours is fresh or vintage, here are some holiday trees to inspire.
Star Turn
Look closely at this tree in Chuck Matney and Todd Holland Matney’s living room. Tucked amongst the branches of this vintage aluminum tree you’ll spy the Jackie O, Queen Elizabeth, Julia Child, Elton John, and Cher ornaments that they’ve collected.
Metallic Muse
In Chasitie and Mike Walden’s new Mission Hills home, florist Craig Sole selected a grand tree for their grand foyer. The entrance is a study in black and white, while the other public rooms are brimming with color. To not compete, “We kept color out of the tree and relied on silver, gold, and some sparkle,” Sole says.
Vintage Vision
Lorraine and Leigh Elmore’s Brookside home is a vision of holiday cheer every Christmas. In the living room, the vintage tree is aglow with lights and the subtle hues of pink, turquoise, green, blue, and gold pre-1940’s Czechoslovakian ornaments.
