at our house!!
For anyone that knows me offline this is not news but for anyone reading this that does not know, " I LOVE Christmas".
I love the absolutely everything. The shopping, the decorating, the build up, lighting the fires, making pomanders, the whole thing.
It does take rather a long time to decorate the house we have SO many decorations. All very tasteful may I add - none of those flashing lights or multicoloured tinsel garlands thank you. A couple of lanterns glowing outside, lots & lots & lots of fairy lights and this year we have paperchains for the first time since I was terribly small. I have forgotten just how much I love them, they are so fun for the dining room which is essentially the Childrens room. The dining room is very red this year.
I even went as far as to paint the old fireplace bright red. Probably a tad toooo far but in my defence, I had bought a darling, cheery bright red & white polka dot table cloth and the poor old fire looked so glum that it had to be made happy again.
See?
It's a very happy fire now, complete with new mirror and very jolly Vintage inspired Wreath.
I have also painted a very drab chest of drawers a pretty eu de nil green & recovered a very sorry for itself lampshade with adorable polka dot fabric and white pom poms. Isn't that a fab word..pom pom. You have to say that in a very deep voice- "tiddly om pom pom"..
Anyway, having put the paintbrushes away, I put lots of paperchains up and added to my very old tree some new finds. I also had some cuties to put on the new fireplace. I don't think they would have looked half so nice on the drab coloured one?
Aren't they adorable?
There's lots more pretty things around the house this year but I can only add so many pictures at a time. I really must go and finish the bows on the girls Reindeer outfits tonight!
Can't resist adding a sneak of my new favourite bauble before I go.
Hope you're all having fun decorating and keeping warm!
Much love,
