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.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No no, it's the Scottish version.

Dang, I was hoping for a mansion filled w/ mac and cheese.

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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Pretty much the perfect spot for any and all holiday decorations

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago

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

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 25 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] toast@retrolemmy.com 20 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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!

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago

A bow front fish tank would go so nice there

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Life-sized LEGO Christmas tree

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Punching bag hanging from the ceiling.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Better yet, hanging from the floor

[–] Unpigged@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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.
