Re: Pretty and Opulent Traditional Christmas Look...

It's cozy and warm, if a bit cluttered.  It's not right for my place, but perfect for an older home.

 

Is it a photograph?  Or a painting?  Looks like a painting to me.

 

I like the poinsettias in the tree.  Does VPH ever have poinsettia picks?

@stevieb It's too much stuff for my taste.

I am drawn to the glitter and sparkle of Christmas.  These types of pictures are beautiful and very nostalgic to me; I could look at them all day, but I could never, ever,  tolerate this look in my home.

Too bad they didn't stop after they decorated the tree.  That would have been plenty.

@stevieb 

I found the image on Pinterest and it indicated it was from a place called Merrifield Garden Center in Virginia.

Their site, however, no longer shows that image so it must have been saved to Pinterest some years ago.

Re: Pretty and Opulent Traditional Christmas Look...

I love traditional Christmas trees.  Ornaments with family history, and ones made by the kids when they were little, along with ones purchased and collected over the years. 
I find these trees charming.

25 years ago when I was into Victorian Decorating and more is better, I would have been head over heels with this look. It is beautiful, but simple is better for me now.

Reminds me of when I was a kid.

It's definitely opulent looking. Just too many things and too much for me though.
