Feather Christmas trees: Hit or miss?
One of my favourite everlasting Christmas tree releases this season is
Urban Barn's
Vegas model. With its glittering
champagne metallic branches, it's
unapologetically artificial, but would work
so well with the mix of warm bronze and gold finishes throughout my home: [caption id="attachment_1108" align="aligncenter" width="410"]
Vegas 7.5-foot tree in Champagne, $149, Urban Barn.

The gold spraypainted evergreen wreath I designed for Style at Home back in... Wow... December 2007!

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the feather tree. [caption id="attachment_1109" align="aligncenter" width="410"]
Seven-foot feather tree in white, $200, Bouclair.

Seven-foot feather tree in fuchsia, $200, Bouclair.
