My Peacock Feather Inspired Tree

This year's tree was inspired by the colors in a peacock feather--turquoise and chartruese.  
To that mix I added some glittery pinks and lavenders.

Surprisingly, the angel, copper bottle and shabby oil painting are still on the landing.  Last year I used magnolia leaves, but for this year, it's all peacock feathers and glass garlands.

Last year our tree was huge.  It totally filled the wall space.  This year it's much smaller, so I decided to add some holiday decor to the brass wall sconce.  I also tucked some peacock feathers into the tree.

One of my favorite frenchy leopard-covered chairs fit too.

Love the legs on this chair.

I'm still so against garlands on stair railings.  Last year I used empty frames
 This year I used peacock feather wreaths.

I had a turquoise fabric remnant and wrapped it around the base.

The ribbon with images of peacock feathers was a great find.  I'm liking draping the ribbon vertically rather than wrapping it around.   It's easier to do too.

Take a peek at the ornaments. 
 Many of them, as well as the garlands, were re-used from a previous tree.















The tree sparkles, reflected in my sunburst mirror.

Do you have your tree up yet?   Do you do a themed tree or just a collection of favorite ornaments?
