Living in Palm Springs, it's not hard to find plenty of authentic "Mid-Century Modern" homes. We embrace our past, with many of those 1950's stylish homes being restored to their original glory, with the all the modern conveniences of a new home. This time of year, I enjoy visiting friends with those great Mid-Century homes to see how retro they go with their Christmas trees and decorations. It's like stepping back in time. Last Christmas we were at a Christmas party at the former 1950 era home of Frank Sinatra. They decked out the home in fabulous retro Christmas decor, I expected Nancy Sinatra to come walking in with her hip high boots and start singin'. Anyway I digress. I thought I'd share a few fun "stock photos" of retro-esque Christmas trees. Hope you are in the holiday mood...

above: the color wheels were essential to these metallic trees...
above: Liberace was known for having a white tree, but with far more glitz and decorations of course!
above: just for good measure, I decided to throw in a purple tree...why not? Happy Friday all!
