Friday Eye Candy: Trimming the Tree

December 9, 2011 by Courtney 14 Comments

I had a great time looking through all of the beautiful trees that were linked up over at Megan’s yesterday. I love that something as simple as a Christmas tree can hold so many special memories for so many. It’s really fun to see how each family makes it their own. Here are a few I stumbled upon from Traditional Home. Beautiful.
I really want to sit down at this piano and play all day long. What a pretty room and a gorgeous tree. I love those brick archways.  Yes, please.
If you are short on space, or if you have an entryway table, something like this would be perfect. I love the little wrapped gifts below.
I am pretty much gaga over everything in this photo. A charming kitchen and space with beautiful millwork. It’s all so inviting and pretty.
Do you see my name written on that chair? What a beautiful space. I don’t have those vases laying around, though. Do you? Do you call those vases? Urns? What’s the right term for one big old Christmas tree vessel?
And I couldn’t resist ending on this note. I grew up with my dad always putting together his Lionel train set under our tree. I loved the sound it made when he turned it on. It even had this little man that would put out milk bottles. One year my mom’s gift came riding around in one of the cars. Very sweet memories. …………………………………. Enjoy the weekend under your tree. Come on back Monday for a great giveaway. You won’t want to miss out as I have used one that I have every single day for the last month. Happy weekend, friends.

    So elegant! We can throw "breathtaking" in there, too. But…the best has to be the train pic. 🙂

    Such pretty trees. I just find Christmas trees so enchanting…such a magical and special time of the year. I love your train story, Courtney. I grew up, too, with my Dad putting out his Grandpa's train going around the tree. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
