Perfect Thanksgiving, Perfect Family Home
Some like big. Some like them small. Some like them modern. Some like them natural. The Christmas tree!
Christmas trees are like houses. There’s a variety of beautiful ones–big, small, modern, rustic, simple and decorative–and there’s really no one ideal.
The Christmas Tree should be the holiday extension of your home, as unique and fitting to you as the walls that surround it. So don’t be convinces you must follow the perfectly symmetrical, white lit, Douglas Fir stereotype. Beauty come is all shapes and sizes.
If your home is Craftsman or NW-inspired architecture…
Consider…a traditional or snow-flocked Douglas Fir Christmas tree. Large bulbs, garland and traditional colors really set off craftsman styling. White lights and a traditional star on top create visual interest without competing with the gorgeous craftsman elements of your house.
If your home is post-modern or prairie…
Consider…a simplistic noble with minimalist decorations in a modern and muted color palette.
If your home is modern contemporary…
Consider…a nontraditional faux Christmas tree in bright colors that match your home, or perhaps not a tree at all!
If your home is rustic…
Consider…a native Ponderosa Pine or potted live Christamas tree with twig and burlap garland and home made ornaments.
