Merry Christmas and Happy holidays!!

Holidays are important here! From Halloween night to welcoming friends for our “fancy” and sometimes raucous Christmas cocktail party to exchanging gifts with each other, we really do love this time of year. We always appreciate the opportunity they bring to reconnect you with the past while making new memories together.

We get to share the house with our little vintage blow mold friends and the glistening trees in our growing aluminum forest. The warm glow of the classic Christmas light bulbs (trutonebulbs) makes us smile every time we turn the block coming home.

The Chroma House new additions this year:

A PINK tree (Carey McFall) for the pink room. The box has pencil markings “12/26/62 - $2.00” Guess that was the “after Christmas sale” price! We love thinking about the day it was first sold, the joy it brought then, and how (nearly 70 years later!) it found its way into our home.

A revolving Evergleam “tri lite” stand. Have always considered this the holy grail of aluminum tree accessories and lucked into one this summer on Facebook marketplace. Like many things at the Chroma House, it’s not easy to get working just right 😂

An Empire Santa and Reindeer team set. Again, something we always wanted but we never had room in our downtown loft! Again, looks easier to set up than it was. We really want to get them on the roof next year but for now we think they look pretty good parked in the lawn.

Merry Christmas to all!
