The living room is flanked with massive arches at either end and a series of three trees filled with Patricia Breen ornaments.
This arched near the foyer is filled with Christopher Radko ornaments with a focus on his Italian designs. You'll notice the Schaller Santas and Radko painting in the foyer area.
Three trees glitter with Patricia Breen ornaments. The central tree revolves.
And they glow wonderfully ...
This second arch is filled with vintage ornaments, mostly finds on eBay.
The upper portion of the arch is swagged with vintage garlands with vintage Christmas ceramics below.
Luca Terruzzi (Soffieria De Carlini), Michael Garrison and Elaine Roesle (St. Nicholas Collection) ... the "vintage arch" is filled with many old treasures from the De Carlini family workshop.

A portion of my Schaller displays, done in the bookcases on either side of my television. They were arranged by my friend Carol.
My sweet tree. It's all depictions of cakes, candies, cookies and anything else fattening. It's mostly Radko, but there are a few other designers and "no-names" in there. I did six trees and this one is probably my favorite.
This is my all ball and drop tree - the look was really pretty and elegant.
My mantle display - also done by my friend Carol, who's a genius with branches and bits and pieces. The real life colors are a little more muted than they show up here.
The other half of my Schaller display.
Radko Sparkletown village in the black hole over the television set.
My all Santa tree. Mostly Radko but a few other designers and "no-names" as well. This one ties for my favorite tree as well. The ornaments really pop off the white trees.

A funky, colorful tree which got a lot of attention this year. Done mainly with Radko Enchanterelles and Koolaide ornaments. An older Radko Santa oil painting is a bit more traditional.
