A Day In The Life: Christmas Decorating

Every year we decorate the home of a long time client. It is something I look forward to year after year. The fireplace is on, classical Christmas music playing and lattes in hand while we adorn their modern abode.

Last year a 14′ tree arrived instead of a 12′ tree and while incredibly majestic, we had some trouble stabilizing it. It seemed like a split second from the time I saw it leaning to the moment I pushed the vintage slipper chairs out of the way and tried to stop the tree from hitting the ground. Needless to say the tree won and down it went. Thankfully we all laughed (client included) and we were able to have the tree secured and carry on with our decorating. Phew!

This year, we’re well equipped with the man power to take on a 14′ tree being delivered this morning. Here are some outtakes and snapshots of our install last year.

It was just too beautiful not to repeat!
