I log onto the tree thread and what do I see? Prada's tree looking at me.

I sww a flash of hot pink and thought oooh the i saw it was Pradas. Prada i feel like we should be friends im so intrigued by you and your house. Its beautiful. Your taste is impecible.
Love the idea of a prada tree advent x

dementedma · 16/12/2016 19:18

Oh dear! I am the only one who doesn't like Prada's trees? No offence Prada.I can see they are artistic,but just not to my taste. They seem cold and clinical and stylised to my very unartistic eye.Grin

FantasticBeasts · 16/12/2016 19:37

They aren't to my taste dementedma but then prada would probably need smelling salts if she saw mine Xmas Grin.

I live in an old rambling farmhouse with chipped 200 year old flagstones/tiles. Fireplaces with the last fire's ash in the grates etc., etc..

My tree has very few things that match (so does my house).

Pradaqueen · 16/12/2016 19:46

Fantastic beasts, I'm sure your trees are just lovely. Xmas Wink i do believe in surrounding yourself in things that make you happy. My house is actually 200+ years old but was rescued as a wreck to a period-appropriate exterior to compliment the very modern interior.

Enid, no this house has not been in an interiors magazine but is going on a locations website in 2017.

Dementedma, not offended. I renovate houses for a living. The house is verrrrry toasty though thanks to underfloor heating Xmas Wink

Pradaqueen · 16/12/2016 19:48

Firsttimemum, I'm sure we'd be great friends!! WineXmas Grin

firsttimemum15 · 16/12/2016 20:01

What is a locations website. It sounds like a great project doing it uo you drfinitely have an eye.

ElfontheShelfIsWATCHINGYOUTOO · 16/12/2016 20:22

Prada Love your house, the doors, paneling etc, its gorgeous and love the trees too. I am a maxim list but love your restraint + the balls Grin under the tree.

Are you shoes on or shoes off house?

ElfontheShelfIsWATCHINGYOUTOO · 16/12/2016 20:23

Love the idea of a tree with things on to take home and your kitchen tree...and the marble kitchen counters.

ElfontheShelfIsWATCHINGYOUTOO · 16/12/2016 20:24

Mars love your tree too - its wide, different.

ElfontheShelfIsWATCHINGYOUTOO · 16/12/2016 20:28

how do people post pics of trees without outing themselves/

firsttimemum15 · 16/12/2016 20:28

We are fully a shoes off house here. Elf have we taken over this thread

firsttimemum15 · 16/12/2016 20:30

PollytheDolly · 16/12/2016 20:31

I love all the trees on here. That's the thing, whatever makes you happy puts everyone is a great mood and is (I think) the point of the thread and why I joined in. My friend sent me a what'sapp yesterday of literally half a tree (the metal rod snapped off at the top half Lol) and she's still celebrating the half that's left. I love that this will be the story of their Xmas for her kids this year.

Firsttimemum- a locations website is for properties that are used for magazine shoots, TV and film work. The flash adverts have to take place somewhere Wink similarly where there is (shudder) a murder in a house on a bbc drama.....

Are we allowing wreaths as well as trees? Here's mine...

Okay so thanks to this cute little guy, I don't think a tree is a good idea this year. I also don't have anywhere to put one as out corner sofa takes up two walls and corners, the TV is in a corner and the stairs are in the other corner.

How can I make my house more festive without having something that the kitten will destroy?!

He/she is better than a tree Nick. What about a twig, knicked from the garden or woods with some battery LEDs wrapped round it?

Hushabyelullaby · 16/12/2016 20:42

This is ours

firsttimemum15 · 16/12/2016 20:55

Love the colours hushabye.

We have an 19 month old DS who is into eeeeeverything so we've been saying 'oh we'll just get the fake little tree down this year and put it on the table out of DS's way'.

I left my dh alone for a few hours and came home to this.

But I'm very glad he persuaded me. I love it but not the pine needles

Twig might be a winner, though DP would love the Ferrero Rocher!
