    Love how pretty your tree turned out! Some great ideas. One thing about the windows. We also have those big framed windows probably made around the same time as yours. While being able to see them is wonderful. I agree with you they are just beautiful. However, its winter. The amount of cold air that slips in around the frames and edges is enough to drop the room temperature enough to keep the rooms feeling cold, and make our heater run much harder than if we keep them covered by heavy blackout drapes in the winter.

    I have been unable to decorate or put up a tree this year due to a lot of remodeling going on in my home, so I really enjoyed watching you decorate this tree. You did a wonderful job on your Dollar Store Christmas Tree Challenge! I love seeing just the window moldings in your dining room. It really opened up the room to take the drapery down. I plan to do the same in my bedroom, once the reconstruction is finished.

    You are so right Laura about adding lights!. We bought a pre lit tree last year to replace our tired old "early marriage" one we had for 30 yrs. The new one was $$$ and extra fancy, had LED lights and formed needles that look like real needles! But something was missing...the colored lights seemed to be missing something- White lights! It wasn't color balanced without the white lights to brighten it up! We cut a real tree with the grandkids at a local tree farm and put the artificial tree up when we're not having company for Christmas. Great traditions!

    I love themed trees. I have a pencil tree in my bedroom and the theme is "Frosted Candy Cane Forest". It's got snow and candy cane details and sparkles and I love it to death! I really think your snowman theme was super fun. I know it's summer but I'm at home all the time so I'm watching a Christmas video. But your snowman theme is just so nostalgic, Christmasy, cheery and fun.
