So. Speaking of sequins, they’re featured prominently in my home for the holidays.
The house may be photographed for a magazine (to appear in a Christmas issue next year), so I’m feeling extra pressure to do it up right.
I bought our pink tree in 2009. Three years later, about 1/3 of the lights have burned out. Supposedly a “lightbulb specialist” will be calling me tomorrow so that I can place an order for replacement bulbs. I’m hoping I can get clear ones because when the tree is fully lit with its pink bulbs, the effect is a bit bordello-ish.
I have more to do (the pressure!), so there’s more to come. Next week, most likely.

December 5, 2012 at 2:03 pmSequins and pink trees?! Sounds like a dream Christmas. I can’t wait to see what you have done and am sure it will be magazine/droolworthy. Forget the pressure – have fun decorating!

December 6, 2012 at 11:42 pmI never would have found it if it weren’t for you! Having no children myself, it would never occur to me to look for something that seems sophisticated (or it could just be your space makes it look that way) in the kiddos section. Thank you!

December 5, 2012 at 5:39 pmwhere did you find a tree light specialist? i need one. our tree has sadly lost most of the pre-lit lights. we just throw some stings of lights in there to fill in the huge gaps but want a more permanent solution. we were considering pulling off all the strings and putting on clear LED lights so they wont burn out like the incandescent ones.

December 5, 2012 at 6:17 pmThe specialist is someone who works for Treetopia, where we bought our tree. We’ve tried to replace lights from other strings, but none have fit.

I cannot wait to see more!

December 6, 2012 at 10:34 amHow exciting! I’ll look forward to seeing that article published next year. And in the meantime, I’m excited about seeing more of your holiday decor. That pillow is amazing — Land of Nod is winning me over, one blog post at a time.

December 7, 2012 at 7:51 pmI have the same issue with my pink tree…SO wish it came with white lights- not in love with the bright fuchsia lights at all. Your Christmas decor looks stunning:)
