Christmas Tree

It's so nice to be home! Right when I got home yesterday I yanked out the Christmas tree. We aren't spending Christmas here so originally I wasn't even going to put up a tree. But the season got the best of me and I pulled it down from the attic.

I just added my red and pink baubles and called it a day.

ps - I purchased the $10 faux sheepskin at IKEA for my parent's dog bed but Charlotte ended up hogging it so much that my mom gave it to her. She LOVES it!! '

pps- I stored our white tree in our attic which has a little window. The section of the tree that was facing the window has turned yellow. I think the heat of the hot sun shining on it all year long burned it. Major bummer! Those of you who have white trees BEWARE! Do not store near sunlight!

    I just bough the faux sheepskin at IKEA last weekend!  My dogs would love to get their paws on it, but instead it is draped over my office chair.  Very cute tree--love the white!

    Your tree is so fun!  Must get the faux sheepskin for my little Charlotte.  I guess I'll need 2, one for my other dog, too!  I don't think they'll leave them!

    Oh no, what a bummer that your tree started to yellow - I guess you'll have to shoot it with a coat of white spray paint after the season is over :)
    The faux sheepskin is adorable, I wish I could get one for my pup, but I'm sure he would eat it!  Maybe I just need one for me!

    Your tree is so cute! I love the white. I also think I need to get a faux sheepskin for my two pups, they would never leave their beds!

    Just beautiful.  Some day when we have more room I dream of a white tree in our dining room. Charlotte looks so comfy!

    Your tree is lovely! Can't wait to put mine up! But I need the hubby's help and he's away so I'll have to wait a little longer...

    Oh my gosh. Your tree is absolutely beautiful. I have to ask though, it appears to be floating. I don't see a stand underneath. Is it attached to the wall or where?

    I stored my white tree in the original box, away from sunlight but in a un-temperature controlled storage room. I ended up with a yellowed section as well. I wonder if it's the heat? The third section, which didn't fit into the box, was stored in a large, dark suitcase in the same storage room but was fine. I'm planning to buy one of those Christmas tree storage bags this year.

    I had to do a double take at this photo because I have the exact same tree... white tree, white lights, red and gold orna's!
