Hi, I'm Julie, Chief Executive Empress

of my little apple green design studio.

Welcome to my blog!

When I'm not out visiting a client or searching for just the right  product for a project, I can probably be found in my happy little studio (painted the perfect shade of green), busy drawing up new ideas for a cool kitchen or a "spa-licious" bathroom. I like to share the fun stuff I find along the way!

RANDOM NOTES FROM MY LITTLE

Clever and hilarious (and delicious) Christmas trees

So if you read my blog post last week, you’ll remember the rainbow of alternative colors I showed you for Christmas decorating.

Well. As I was looking for all those lovely, colorful options to share with you, I also ran across some clever and humorous Christmas trees that people had created. So, thinking we could all use a little stress relief along about now, I thought I’d show you some of those. You don't mind Christmas trees two weeks in a row, do you?!

Elf OFF the shelf

If you're a fan of Elf the movie, or the Elf on the Shelf phenomenon, then you'll probably enjoy this tree. Actually it looks like the elf has fallen OFF the shelf. I think they're mixing their themes by throwing Frosty in there, however he seems to be enjoying a good laugh at the elf's expense.

A Christmas ladder

How fun is this?! Not sure why I like this one so much. Maybe because it's simple and uncluttered. And elegant in its own way. Too bad I lost my ladder a few years ago or this might be on my hearth right now. But I digress.

The (Christmas) Cookie Monster

Have ya got pre-schoolers hanging around your house? They'll either love this big blue monster tree or be scared out of their wits Christmas morning!

A pepperoni tree skirt

Every tree needs a decorative skirt, and sometimes we get hungry opening gifts. And nothing says "Christmas" like pepperoni and mushroom pizza, RIGHT?! However I think I might have used THAT tree skirt under the next tree...

The ALL red tree

I think this one speaks for itself. It's red. :-D

Cinnamon roll tree

I did promise "delicious..." Cinnamon rolls are my favorite breakfast on Christmas morning, and this one looks good enough to eat!

And here's a recipe for a similar tree but this one's a cheesy, garlicky version. Mmmm!

Watermelon trees

Here's a cute thing to serve at a buffet or take to a party. And since watermelon is his favorite, this one's for you, Dad!

And I've saved my favorite for last:

A "dressy" Christmas tree

Someone was oh so clever and turned a dress form turned into a Christmas tree. Festive AND elegant. Wouldn't this be great in an entry way or at a more formal party? Love, love, love this idea!

If you want to see a bunch more fun trees that I didn't have room for here, I've got a Creative Christmas Trees board set up on Pinterest. Get a load of the giant pineapple!

How about you? Which one was your favorite? Have you created an unusual Christmas tree? Drop me a comment below. I'd love to hear from you!
