Well, yesterday I promised that pictures would follow our decorating attempts on Saturday night. Click on any of these pictures to see them in a new window at a much larger size.
As the description in the graphic describes, the tree is shown in the room with only it’s lights eluminating the walls. I’m told that it makes the room look very different. There’s a lot on there. There’s two sets of gold and silver beeds, four sets of lights, red silver and gold tinsil, four bells, 12 glittering star things, ten lantern shaped things, the usual round shiny things tat are also come in red, the angel on top and in the middle, probably not very easy to see, a hand made wooden angel that was given to us last year by a very good German friend of ours.
There’s a lot on the tree. It probably sounds a bit too much. But, the tree is over six foot high. In fact, considering the one in the porch is six foot high, I’d say ithe one in the living room is over seven foot high and is very broad on the bottom so to get rid of the bare look, it’s necessary to have a lot on it. A part from the angel on the window looking out, it is the only decoration in the living room as with it, nothing else is needed.
Speaking of the angel, Emma loves this.
It was dark out when this picture was taken so unfortunately some of the features of the angel cannot be seen. A better picture will be taken during the weekend when it’s not so dark out. Well, that’s the plan anyway.
The angel has a white dress on that is very intricate. It’s just less than a half a foot high from bottom to top. The top part of is light up with fibre-optic lights on it’s back. It’s very difficult to explain it other than that.
The next picture was also taken outside.
This time we look at the front of the house. We have an extention to the left of this picture so from left to right you can see the living room window with the angel, the porch with the fibre-optic christmas tree and on the right you can see Emma’s sowing room. It has an electric candle thing. This looks like a tryangle shaped candle stand with about seven candles on it. Three on the left and three on the right and one on the top. Again, up close, this is very detailed. There is a leaf effect at the bottom of each candle stick to make it look very authentic.
So there you have it. I hope those descriptions were comprehensive enough to give you an idea of how things look. Oh, I forgot to mention. The christmas tree in the porch is about six fot high. It’s not half as dominating as the tree in the living room.
If I remember the tree box correctly the tree is 8 foot high. mind you we did have to bend over the top a little for the star to fit on
