Pink Bottle Brush Tree

My daughter found this sweet pink bottle brush tree sitting by the dumpster in her alley last year.   Who would throw away something like that????  There was nothing wrong with it...even all the lights still worked.  She didn't want it and I was DELIGHTED to get it...thank you Melissa!

I put it in a small space I have by the refrigerator...

I decorated it very simple....a few yards of lace ....a couple of bird houses...and a bird.  

This is a very busy intersection.....it is where the kitchen, living area, hallway to the bedrooms, and the entryway all intersect!

So, I always try to keep something pretty there.

I love the way it adds warmth to the tree with all the lights on....

It is pretty in the daytime.....but, I love it in the evening...

The side of the refrigerator is kind of plain, so I added a picture with some fabric stapled to the back of it.  I just propped it up against the side of the refrigerator and put a vintage rolling cart in front of it.   That baby isn't going anywhere because behind all those ruffles is big stacks of dishes on both shelves.

See where I had it hanging over the fireplace at Halloween?   I only used the fabric covered picture on the side of the refrigerator...I used the white frame somewhere else. 

I love seeing my little Christmas corner on all of my many, many, many trips to the kitchen and the bedrooms!
