Edward Scissorhands odd (MHO-butt ugly). Just kidding. My brothers mil has a home tour every year. Her house is known as the house with the upside down tree. She has about 22 in her home. But the upside down on gets the most publicity. I have seen them used as table "centerpieces" in weddings. Strands of pearls and glass beads dangling. They are spectacular in large numbers. §

DiamanteBlu Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,474 Last Post: 11/6/2009 Member Since: 7/12/2005	Some friends in Puerto Rico did an upside down tree last year. I'm not sure why - the house is huge. It was kinda strange to see. I think I prefer them right side up. I'll leave the tapering at the bottom to the chandeliers! Hmmmm . . . how about a decorated crystal chandelier instead of a Christmas tree . . .

I guess I could see it being used as a space saver, but really its almost like flying your flag upside down - kinda disrespectful towards the meaning of a Christmas tree. IMHO

Elmorton Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,750 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 7/6/2007	I think I remember seeing those in Sharper Image about 10 years ago, and they were described as "historic" - as in, when people first started bringing trees into their homes, they hung them upside-down. Anyone else seen them billed like this?

crown1 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,376 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 11/22/2006	i have seen them in stores and magazines. the ones i saw looked nothing like the picture in the link. when decorated with ornaments and such and placed in a good location in the room they are lovely and unique looking to me. show casing them in a room with a very high or vaulted ceiling has been what i have seen. these have been around a good while now. the next best thing to being wise oneself is to live in a circle of those who are c.s. lewis

brazen_irish_hussy Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,535 Last Post: 12/27/2008 Member Since: 6/13/2006	My FI wanted an upside down tree. Since in our house it is a winter solstice tree we had no objectiong on traditionalist grounds, just that I wanted a real tree and you can't water them upside down. plus, I don't think the landlord would appreciate us bolting a tree to the ceiling. There is a "craft" store in town, although I hesitate to call it that because it is so much cooler than a craft store, but they had a number of upside down trees that were amazing.
