Pantone color of the year

by

Benjamin Moore Amazon MossPantone has announced the color of the year and it is……drum role, EMERALD! So get ready to see this color all over this year! When I think of emerald green a few things come to mind. First the Wizard of Oz of course. Who could forget Emerald City? Second my Junior High School prom dress. I graduated Junior High school in 1989. Last the beautiful landscape of Ireland. I’ve never been there, but it is on my bucket list. I love the combination of purple with green. I think mother nature does it best. I am always excited when my Vinca vine blooms all over in the spring!    Hope you enjoy seeing emerald green this year, I know I will!

Choosing the right size Christmas tree for your space

by

 

Many factors come into play when choosing a Christmas tree for your home.  Taking time to measure the area which you will place the tree in is an essential step.  Do not try to “eye” the space.  Simply take a tape measure and run it horizontally and perpendicular in the space you plan to have your tree.

~If the across measurement is less than 4 feet than a Pencil tree would be the best fit.   Pencil trees are typically 36” round.

~If the across measurement is 4-6 feet than a slim tree would be the best choice.  These trees typically are 36”-54” round.

~If the space is 6-7 feet across than you can opt for a medium tree.  These trees are typically 55”-60” round.

~If you have over 7 feet across than you can go for a full tree which are 61”-70” round.

Height is another factor.  You should plan on having 9”-12” of space between the top of your tree and your ceiling height.  This way you can fit a tree topper and have a couple inches of space left between the tree and the ceiling.

The above guidelines work for real or artificial trees.  The salesman on the lot can guide you to the proper size tree if you know what you are shopping for!

 

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays!
