Everyone talking about Christmas trees but that's obviously where you put the cheap-ass "Venus de Milo" replica to go with your Mac mansion.

No no, it's the Scottish version.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

Ya know, that was what I had in my head too, but I couldn't describe it properly like you did.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 4 points 10 months ago

I'd go with this

Elaborate throne spot if ever i saw one

Halloween skeleton in a chair.

[–] bobs_monkey@lemmy.zip 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Pretty much the perfect spot for any and all holiday decorations

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm imagining an easter party:

I know with 100% certainty a cat would jump from the second story and knock a cat tree right the hell over

[–] FoxyFerengi@startrek.website 7 points 10 months ago

I have a 9 foot cat tower that is tensioned into place against the ceiling. My 14 pound cat flies on and off it like the floor is lava, and it hasn't budged yet

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 6 points 10 months ago

With tall cat trees; if it's not in a corner you've gotta anchor it down. Some even come with brackets to screw them to the wall.

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 28 points 10 months ago

that was literally made for a big family that likes taking pictures around the christmas tree like in the movies

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 26 points 10 months ago

You don't tear out an architectural feature like that. You make it a focal point.

[–] toast@retrolemmy.com 21 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Call a plumber. Install a toilet or, if there's space, a claw-footed tub with the whole over-head bath curtain around it. Embrace the awkward

[–] LORDSMEGMA@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I vote a functioning toilet. Completely visible, no curtains.

Pooping eye contact with your guests on Thanksgiving is a real power move

[–] grue@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Shouldn't have been raised above the rest of the floor. Now you've got to use a relatively skinny tree and you can't put a train or tree skirt around it.

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Put the tree relatively far forward, cover the step with a nice skirt, then put your train along the front edge of the step with smaller presents below it and larger ones behind it.

The step makes the tree and the pile of stuff under look bigger than they are and makes a nice raised platform for the train to run along.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Okay, I did the math (or rather, found an online calculator to do the math for me) and, assuming a tread depth of 10" and therefore a platform radius of 60", you could fit a 48" diameter train track on it. Not great, not terrible for O-scale, but barely big enough for the most cramped G-scale circle (which might've otherwise been preferred to stay in proportion with a tall tree in the high-ceilinged room).

This guy’s mom took tylenol while pregnant.

One ginormous cannabis tree!

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Life-sized LEGO Christmas tree

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Punching bag hanging from the ceiling.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Better yet, hanging from the floor

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago

A bow front fish tank would go so nice there

[–] Unpigged@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 10 months ago

An altar to the elder gods.

It's only good for a tree if there is a living room that can see it.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I want to start with “I’m not rich”

One of the luxuries I afford myself is more than one Christmas tree.

They smell great.

My gremlin ass cats LOVE THEM.

And blinken lights.

I recommend you too splurge if you can.

I’d have a tree here for display and (it’s only) smellz.
