A Deconstructed Christmas Tree { the peacock tree }

Decorated Christmas trees are like people - no two are alike.  There are so many styles and looks, it really is all about what appeals to you.
 
While there's really no exact formula for decorating a tree, there are some general categories of elements / ornaments we use.  We thought it might be helpful to deconstruct an inspiration tree for you so you can see just how designer trees come together.
 

Here is a sample inspiration tree up close.  If you study the picture, you'll start to see layer upon layer of decorations that vary in size, color, and texture. 

Now let's deconstruct the tree into six major elements.  Remember, this isn't an exact science or formula; you can always add or subtract to get the look you prefer.  The intent is to give you an idea of categories of decorations to help you recreate a look that speaks to you.

This the cool and beautiful small house design with meditation chamber in Bethesda, Maryland with architect David Jameson. In the center, a meditation room suspended acts as the physical and spiritual center of the project. The internal energy of the meditation chamber is encased in a shiny frame open. Alternating the tread staircase deliberatley involves the participant to raise the limit to the meditation chamber. The meditation room is surrounded by a wooden container that contains the living areas of the house. This deposit is in turn surrounded by mud walls that acts as a layer of protection and grounding of the house down. The interrelation of nested volumes of spaces are strategically cut to allow the sun to protect the lines of inner light. By separating the three shells, the interstitial spaces allow light to become an active architectural material inside.Now, let’s check the beautiful small house design in Bethesda picture below:

John Muir Exhibit at the Atlanta History Center - only until Dec 4

Don't miss the John Muir exhibit at the Atlanta History Center. It will be there until December 4. See the information below from the History Center's website:

October 13, 2011-December 4, 2011

John Muir was a botanist throughout his life and his fondness for the nature and beauty of plants contributed significantly to his understanding of the need to preserve wilderness. Yet this aspect of the well-known conservationist’s passions is little known. In the spirit which John Muir embraced the botanical world, the traveling exhibition Nature’s Beloved Son: Rediscovering John Muir’s Botanical Legacy traces his travels to Canada, Indiana, the American southeast, California, and Alaska, and presents vivid images and specimens of the actual plants that Muir held in his hands, carried in his pockets, and preserved for all time.

Nature’s Beloved Son includes high-resolution images of Muir’s plant specimens on large format canvas and paper prints, allowing the exploration of the structures, patterns, and anatomies of the plant world. Historic images, pages and drawings from Muir’s journals set the context for his plant collecting and a set of original plant specimens shows visitors the real thing. To further inspire, the exhibition includes several quotes from Muir about his fascination with nature and devotion to plants. A film shown in the gallery and narrated by the curator and Muir re-enactor Frank Helling, features additional plant specimens and historic images.

Peachtree and Cherokee Garden Clubs are both sponsors of this exhibit.

Using this year's color trends in holiday decorating

Aside from traditional red, white, and green, there are so many other colorful options for holiday decorating.  In the December Design House, Suzanne & Amy took some cues from this year's home design and fashion trends to give you a few other ideas for using color at home this holiday season.

Here is a sneak peek of three of them.  You can enjoy the real deal starting Friday, December 2nd through Sunday December 4th at The Design House.  Enjoy!

The peacock was important this fall.  Instead of traditional holiday colors, think about mixing blues with chartreuse greens and adding in a dash of deep purple. Here is an inspiration piece...

{ Peacock Chair:  MADE }

...and here is how Suzanne & Amy interpreted the peacock color combo for the holidays!

  

************************************************************


Silver accessories are expected to be a popular fashion trend this fall...

{ Feather Clutch: Franchi }

...and here is the perfect chair dipped in silver on The Design House front porch.

************************************************************


Teal was hot on the runways at the Fall 2011 and Winter 2012 fashion shows... 

Teal Bibi Pump:  Christian Louboutin

...and here is that same color dressed up for the holidays at the December Design House!

So the moral of the story is, have fun with color for the holidays!
 You can easily incorporate current color trends in your holiday decorating, just like you would your wardrobe or home decor.


************************************************************

If you missed Monday's post about "Friday Night Lights", please be sure to take a minute to read it.
