Between Naps on the Porch: A Feather Christmas Tree in the Guest Room

A Feather Christmas Tree in the Guest Room

I took a few pics this evening of the little tree I always place in the guest room at Christmastime. It's a feather tree I found at Michael's one year.

I love having the tree already lit for my guests (family) when they enter the room. It's a little surprise that I hope feels warm and welcoming.

All the lights are off in this pic and only the tree is lit. It looks like it's on fire, doesn't it?

The ornaments look as if someone blew big bubbles and they landed on the tree.

The tree topper is just an ornament I found in the shape of a star...

As you're rushing around preparing for Christmas and your family arriving, don't forget to take some time for yourself.

But do you now what I think you should do? Enjoy your tree as a GUEST and sleep in your 'guest room' to be different! How about it? If you do, let us know. I think you'd feel 'strange' doing that, but I DO think you'd enjoy it!
Best,
Gloria

Fondly,

This room is so warm and welcoming on its own, that the tree is just a bonus! I was in Michaels yesterday and started making a mental list of those things I want to come back and get on clearance.

At Sunday, December 19, 2010 , Lori said...: Gorgeous and funny how I remember, but this room you featured in the first post I ever read from you blog.
At Sunday, December 19, 2010 , Susan (Between Naps On The Porch.net) said...: Thanks, Mary! I put up two full size trees (kitchen and family room) and 2 little ones. The two little ones are the feather tree and one in my half bath. Those are very easy...only take a few minutes.

Lori, really? Well, I'm so glad you are here reading! :) I recently changed this room a bit....took out the wall hat rack and took down some pics. I decided it was getting too busy. I do like it better with less "stuff" on the walls. :)

At Sunday, December 19, 2010 , Miss Char said...: Susan, I love that tree. I wouldn't have given it a second glance at the store (my bad for being stuck in a decorating rut) but it looks fantastic in your guest room. If that were a guest room I was staying in I doubt I'd ever leave. Thanks so much for sharing and Merry Christmas.

I love this room. It is so comfy, cozy. The tree is such a nice addition. I laughed when you wrote that it looked like it as on fire. I would love to be a guest in your home. And I see the tray on the bed, so maybe there is breadfast in bed?
Have a wonderful night.
