WHILE VISIONS OF SUGAR-PLUMS DANCED IN THEIR HEADS!!!

Rather than just suggest using or purchasing the festive trees in different colors I got some pictures for proof that they are pretty darn cute in any hue. (Target Color: Bubble Gum Pink and Cream). Example 1: For a little girls nursery I want to take this set of 3 trees (2 pink and 1 cream) and put them on a 6 drawer dresser. (Preferrably a vintage or flea market find that you redo in a white shabby chic color and sand a little off on the corners to expose the wood underneath. Then on the top place the 3 trees staggered in the corner with a cute metal lamp with a drum shade and a framed photo of your newborn above. ( Im kinda a visual person). Example 2: Think "Cindy Lou Hoo" (from The Grinch Who Stole Christmas). Pop the movie in or google images... the colors used through out were amazing. Who says you can only use the traditional darker evergreen hue and berry red with accents of silver and gold???? Dude do what you like. People will be jealous once they see your colorfully adorned home or office. I know I am not the only one that watched that movie and wished I could transform my house to look like that for a month. The bubble gum pink trees shown above mixed in with some classic red and vibrant relish color green would look so darling for your centerpiece at the traditional holiday dinners that are quickly approaching. Or mix up the fireplace mantle, holiday village, nativity set, etc. etc. Again this is just my advise, but think of it as you have so little to lose (because your old holiday decor and standard colors are going to be in the basement in rubbermaid totes if you don't like it), and so so much to gain.
