That's fun! Doesn't it remind you of Dr. Seuss?!!! It totally reminds me of his books. That kind of tree could be fun/whimsical to place 2 at an entry way too.

Yes, it really does. You could play that up for a fun look the kids and grown kids would love! That tree is out there!

But it also reminds me of some snowy, wintry days ends out in the country up in the mountains where, right at dusk, when everything turns blue just before nightfall, you see a young tree that's bent by the wind and weather. That Diva tree gives me this white, cold, wild vibe of nature having her way with life. I can see it accenting a monochromatic winter white room with just that odd, single blue, startling tree. I also see it in a mountain-cabin, pine-paneled, blue-winter themed den, maybe with blue buffalo-checked flannel couch pillows and throws on blue-upholstered or covered couch suite, blue wolf, moose and white fir tree statuettes on accent tables, paintings of just blue/grey-toned wolves/moose in action here and there, white stone fireplace with just a huge wolf-face painting above it, faux polar bear or deep-pile irregular-shaped white rug before it and the Blue Diva tree adding to the outdoors, woodsy feeling.

I could day-dream of Christmas decorating all day. Sorry, Ann, for droning on as I'm apt to do but your elegant pencil tree and sparkly sheers just kicked me into gear this year. haha. I'll stop now. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas!

We had a pre lit tree before from Costco. The branches were nice and full, but it came with too many lights. It was way too bright! And that was with the regular lights, not LED. I don't like LEDs. They are too bright and too "cool". I like warm lights.

Oh I bit, I did not get the big one but I did get one of the smaller ones. It is going in my bedroom and if anyone else who shares that bedroom complains the couch is available (hint it will not be Sophie Kate complaining).

AWESOME!!! Would love to see a piccie once you have it decorated! Lol...on the couch . You and Sophie Kate will clearly have LOTS of room in bed this winter .

I practically want to buy that flippin' candy corn tree and set it up, just so I could see my hubby's face . It would confirm for him that, yes, I finally have indeed lost my mind! If I had money to throw away, I would so do it! I will say that for someone who is totally into Halloween (I'm not really), it would be such a great Halloween tree.

Great tree for a rec- or game-room!

I need a big light blue tree. I have a small one for my little mermaid ornaments, but my collection outgrew it.
Treetopia has one, but I don't really have a spot for it and it's kinda expensive.

My tree is too bright, too, eye-dazzling, but at least the lights are colored and that seems to tone it down some but when I've had enough, at least I can dim the lights down. I love white lights but worry they would be way too bright on a full-sized tree in the evenings when the den lights are dimmed down. If I used white lights or had a white tree with white lights, I'd have to use the dimmer switch most evenings as my tree sits pretty close to the big screen which emits a huge amount of light.

I will post a picture for sure when I set it up. I am serious I am going to start a thread on Christmas Trees and ask people to post pictures (they are my favorite part of Holiday Décor).

Maybe a Pencil Tree would work in Blue, or a White Tree with the Memaid ornaments would be nice.

Sadly I don't have room for a pencil tree either, we already have 2 full sized trees and a few table trees.

My current tree is 3ft.
