A sepia Christmas

Think you’ve seen artificial Christmas trees in every color -- neon, metallic or otherwise? Get ready for the Chocolate Truffle. The pre-lighted tree from Treetopia.com is an obvious riff on the brown-is-the-new-black trend seen in fashion and furniture. “Dead trees don’t have this rich milk-chocolate color to them,” says Treetopia Vice President Carrie Chen. She says that the faux flora, bedecked with natural pine cones, looks traditional with red and gold bulbs or modern with silver. The 4-foot tree is $179, and the 6-foot version is $239. This one is decorated with large glass bulbs from the 115-piece Townhouse trim collection, $595, from the Frontgate catalog, www.frontgate.com; a bejeweled brown bird, $2.99, from Target, www.target.com; and a handmade cinnamon roll, one of the plush creations that start at $8 from Mypapercrane.com.
