I love the elegance. 

My Christmas wish is that people could appreciate something for what it is instead of only through the lens of their own taste. 

I remember seeing a mention of candy canes somewhere in the thread, but I don't see any. I see candle and icicle ornaments, but no candy canes. 


 

 

@GingerPeach  The candy canes are in a glass on the coffee table.Smiley Happy I think they are elegant too. I love attention to detail.

Lovely, relaxing, elegant, room. But, when our north winds blow up a blizzard and the temps drop to zero, the room would not have the warmth and coziness I need in the winter. I will stick with rustic, plaids, textured fabrics, etc. But, in a warm climate, this room would be ideal.

I wonder if these folks will be serving Mary Berry's Twelfth Night cake.

Quite formal. I could see that being their third or fourth tree in a large home, but not the main tree.

I love this.  I do the same thing.  I have a 3-4 ft. Flocked tree that I put on my console table in front of the picture window.  I decorate it with retro style Christophe Radko 1940s ornaments.  I just love it.

I find it cold and sterile. Looks like Alberti's sense of "style".  Trees need multi colored lights to convery warmth and nostalgia.

@Reever  I find this statement absolutely amazing. I love multi colored lights and all white lights but I would never assume to tell others what they must do to convey warmth and nostalgia. You are truly one of a kind. 

 

The Q is blessed to have Alberti.
