RainIn the end - is that really weirder than Christmas light around a palm tree or Santa's sleigh on green grass?
 

 
I was thinking it was weirder that your wife lets you sit around and take pictures while she's up on a ladder working on the tree. 

I forgot to mention in the previous post, a very nice apartment too.

For some reason I don't think she's afraid of heights.

Good catch! :)
 
We put it up together - I was just getting back from the other room putting on some music. But I often leave the ladder stuff to her. 
 
The two baby cats are really doing a number on it. Especially Syd, the youngest one we've just adopted a few weeks ago. There are fake needles on the floor everywhere in the house, even upstairs... He likes to climb in it and play hide and seek with his sister. Or then just to throw decorations on the ground.
 
We love this house. And we appreciate it even more after those 2 years living in hotel rooms and small suites, and more particularly after the few months we spent in that dark and ugly little apartment when we arrived in Vegas. Moving up here, further away from the strip and to a much nicer part of the city and into this house really changed everything. That's when we started liking Vegas.

BTW, I've always loved putting up Christmas trees w/ themes. The year Star Wars episode III came out, we had an awesome Sith-mas tree, with dead stars, TIE fighters, light sabres and The Emperor on the top of the tree. We also had a Nightmare before Christmas one, which was pretty cool.
 
So this years, since we'd opted for a more traditional tree downstairs, I put on a little KISSmas tree in my studio.
 

 

 
 

I think you need some more red in there.  Maybe a dark red image on that black wall.  I can think of a few things...

Funny you mention that - I decided last night that I'd repaint the room red.

Black really makes a room look smaller, but too much red can make you irritated...  Oh well!

I've always had at least one red wall in my "home studios" - it's a colour I live well with. With the eggshell carpet and ceiling, I think the red and black thing will make this place totally feel like home. 

 
I'm afraid to say....
