Stand Alone Tree

We had some trees taken down in our back yard by a tree removal company a while back in preparation for hurricane season.  The company disposed of all the trees for us, except for 1 that I had them set aside in our garage.  I let it sit there for quite some time to make sure that all the little critters would find themselves a new home in a live tree. Then, I bought a big decorative pot and a couple bags of rocks from Lowes.  I cut the tree down to the exact height that I wanted, stood it up inside the pot, and poured the rocks all around it to hold it in place.  And then it found a nice new home in my master bedroom, to fill an empty corner we had.  I love the look of it.  My bedroom is painted a sage green, the furniture is all black, the linens are all white, and the room is filled with our wedding pictures all printed in black and white.  The tree adds a touch of rustic in a very contemporary room, which I absolutely adore.
