oh my, i love that first tree!!! ;) that is great for inspiration on small rooms! just a glimpse of christmas... in a wall! ;) hugs, twiggs

we go on a family outing to the woods the weekend before Christmas, freeze our little ..... off looking for the perfect tree, cut it down with a camp saw, tie it onto the roof of our car , drive very carefully home where we fill the house with it's beautiful aroma. We put only the clear lights on it to marvel at it's natural beauty for a few days and then the slow process of decorating starts, first the popcorn and cranberry garlands freshly made and hung, and then the rest.

I love the first one!!! so stylish and simple!!!

loove both of them!

We did a chalkboard tree last year for our handmade ornaments. An iphone photo of it here:

Currently scouring our compost pile for the perfect branches to paint for this year's display.

Thanks for this post about unique Christmas trees. I think the second one is quite fantastic. How creative!

We never get around to getting a tree - either we run out of time, finances, etc etc .. But I love these ideas! I think I'm going to do one of them this year - now I just have to decide which one ;)

Cuuute!! I love the idea of chalkboard tree :)

Oh, what awesome ideas! Especially for tiny apartments like mine. We have an artificial tree that was handed down from my in-laws, because our strata doesn't allow real trees. We may need to switch to one of these 2-D ideas, though!

love this tree...and love free people!

I actually thought the phrase "OMG" in my head -- that tree-on-the-wall is a wonder (and might be the perfect solution to a tiny apartment with no room for a REAL tree)! Bueno.

Love it! We ha quite a small apartment and I made a 'no mess' Christmas tree a few years ago out of a few metres of chicken wire and lots of fairy lights. It looks awesome sparkling out our window and always gets lots of comments!

We will be having a huge party before we head off for the holidays this year. I plan to draw a huge christmas tree on the chalkboard wall in our dining room and let everyone 'decorate' it throughout the evening. No mess except some chalk dust!

I've always had a real Christmas tree in the past, but my husband and I recently downsized to a smaller apartment. I've been agonizing over the possibility that we won't have space for a tree. This may be the perfect solution!
