Building Trees

Anyone who knows me knows I have an eclectic way of decorating. So... I built 2 trees: a "Family Tree" in the foyer and a giant bonsai in my bedroom. Painted the trunk and branches and attached fake branches and pine boughs. Will change the leaves with each season. What do you think?

I painted the trunk and branches.
Autumn Family Tree
I bought fake branches which can be found at any Hobby Lobby or Michael's. Try to find the seasonal sales.
Winter Family Tree
I used no damage picture hangers to secure the branches on the wall.

    We moved into a home that had forest all around us. Unfortunately, it was a tree farm and they logged it a couple of years ago. I miss the trees but this is an awesome idea! I can bring trees indoors without all the mess!!! GREAT idea! I just hope I can mimic your talent....
