i thought i’d share some photos of one of my favorite trees in the gift shoppe this year. it’s a ten foot tall tree, but the top three feet is made of a bendable rod allowing it to ‘lean’. sorta looks like a whoville tree. you can call me michael-loo-who!
i was inspired by the colors of a peacock and these beautiful sequin peacock ornaments below.
90% of the time i wrap my tree with ribbon. i didn’t have anything in the shop to match, so i used a glittery green ribbon i found at wal-mart. i love ribbon on a tree. it fills that empty space so nicely. it also helps to hide cords from lights.
and of course i had to have real peacock feathers. found these guys on ebay for a steal!
an elves view of the tree. magical, right?
even sequin butterflies!
and any good tree needs a little glitter! i love the colors of glitter used on these teal glass ornaments.
some jewels for added sparkle!
the most amazing glittery green ferns i’ve ever seen. these really make the tree extra special.
and a disco ball inspired ornament. i love how they reflect the lights.
what do you think of my tree? i will share pictures of MY actually tree sometime next week. have you put your tree up yet?
that is amazing! great job! not only are the colors and sequins perfect, the fact that’s it’s leaning is a great touch.
Stunning tree! 2 years ago we bent 2 of those types of trees together to make an arch. I love the lean!
The peacock tree is gorgeous!
I love thus tree! I think it is my favorite I have seen in blogland!Love the peacock theme and the fact that the tree is leaning over just makes it!
ahhhhhhhhh! your peacock-inspired Whoville tree made my heart skip a beat Michael!! wish I could have one of my own. love love love it!
This is gorgeous! I love the vibrant, rich colors and the fabulous tree. I think I totally need a tree like this. I actually used peacock feathers in one of my trees, but it’s totally different.
I love this tree. The colors, sparkle, and ferns fronds evoke a magical Christmas jungle…in Asia. And, then when you least expect it…it bends! LOL I love something different. This is different, but extremely pretty and exciting. Very nice tree!:)

Honestly, that tree is amaze-balls! If I had the room and the ‘nads to put it up in my house, I would!
Okay, so seriously Michael-Who-Loo…you’d better lock your door. I’m coming to steal that tree….RIGHT.NOW.
Pretty awesome!! And I love what you did with those oars…, I’ll be featuring them on my blog (too) next year!!!!
Glad you stop by…, even though your not by the sea!
Beautiful, beautiful tree. Love the colors and all the glittered fern. Great job! I’m following.
So gorgeous, seriously takes my breath away!
What a wonderful tree! So unique!
Thanks so much for visiting me! Hope you can come to my Christmas Recipe Party next Thursday!
A beautiful showpiece. I have seen similar trees in some of my favorite stores. They make a stunning foal piece. Congrats on living your dream! I am your newest follower too. Stop by my blog too! Happy holidays! Linda
I love all the peacock colors! The who-ville bend is magical! You have the best tree this year! Merry Christmas! ~Marcy
Michael, your tree is AMAZING! Love the colors, the peacock, the shape! And I LOVE your blog! It’s my dream to own a B&B, too!! You have great ideas and beautiful style! Thanks for checking out Free Stylin’ – I will definately be blog stalking you now.
*gasp!! I am in LOVE. I have a peacock themed tree too, but yours for sure blows mine away! beautiful! ~*S*~
Your tree puts elegance in Whoville for sure! It’s beautiful. New follower!
OMG, my post today is a peacock wreath! THIS is just breathtaking! I can’t wait to show this to the gang at home. Thank you so much for popping by my blog so I could discover yours.
Just… WOW! I love it! I especially love the ferns… they almost look like feathers themselves!
Shut up. I cannot take how awesome this tree is. First of all, I’m kinda obsessed with peacocks lately. but you, my friend, have taken it to an all new level. The curviness, the shininess, the glitteryness….please feel free to box this baby up, mark it Fragile and send it across the state when you tire of it. B
This is absolutely beautiful! Playful yet sophisticated. My kids would love this and so would I.
We decorated our tree this weekend, though I’m afraid your tree puts ours to shame
The peacocks are gorgeous, they tree is fantastic, and you are genius. I am going to be on the lookout for green and teal ornaments in the sales this year!
I love the idea of wrapping the tree with ribbon, but I am too stinkin’ lazy to take all the ornaments off, wrap it, and re-decorate it. Maybe next year!
