Friday, Dec. 9, two enormous, at least one hundred year old pine trees bit the sawdust. I heard the chain saws and wood chippers ripping into the beautiful, 50'. specimens and went directly across the street from the Dodson Design offices to inquire, seems the new owner of the apt. building has some new lanscaping ideas of his own. It was sad to see them fall, the up side was lots and lots (I could have opened a evergreenery lot) of free Christmas greens, garlands, swags, and merry merry mantel makings!
I chose to use one very large, single branch and work with it's natural arch and draping, fringe like needles.
A few larger sized string lights and some 7', silver mylar strands (recycled from a tattered "stripper" curtain), later, balcony decor done! The "snow" you see on railings is just folded and stapled down poly fabric, the heads, or busts are repurposed terra cotta garden accessories with a quick spray of gold, they got a golden spray tan, I got beautiful balconette, you bet!
