Decorating The Christmas Tree

5th December 2016

It’s the most wonder time of the year….just typing that has made me start singing!! But It’s my favourite part about christmas, Yes decorating the christmas tree!!  The 1st of december is when mine goes up and I officially start getting all excited for christmas. It really does start to feel all christmassy when that tree goes up!!

Today’s post I just wanted to share with you my tree and the decorations I used this year.

I decided to go for gold, champagne/mink, white and silver bit of a mixture, to go with my living room decor. My snow tree I got a few years ago in Tesco but literally everywhere sell these snow trees now, I think they’re so pretty, but the snow does go everywhere when we put it up, just to warn you!

Whenever I decorate my tree I like to use all different baubles, and decorations, I do buy the big sets but I prefer buying single ones as I feel like it looks really pretty and a bit different. I love a full looking tree so any empty branch I will fill, and I use the small baubles to fill the gaps in between so it doesn’t look too much with having the big decorations all over as it can make it look a bit much, in my opinion. I literally didn’t have a plan on how I was going to decorate it, I just chucked everything on and hoped for the best.

I haven’t used tinsel on my tree for years as I personally feel like it looks nice with just Baubles and lights, although next year I might use the beads.  I’ve seen lots of pretty Trees with the beads and I really like that idea.

Every year I’ve wanted a tree skirt, they are very American and I’ve seen gorgeous fluffy ones but I struggled to get one last year as I left it so late but this year I was adamant I was going to get one. I was stalking the next website as last year they did  have the best selection. I managed to find this white faux fur skirt in my local next store, it was a little bit pricey for what it is but I’m so glad I got it, as It looks so good under the tree, it almost looks like snow I absolutely love it!

 

xmas-tree18Some of the random decorations and Baubles I picked up.  My favourite store for single decorations is The range, they had such a massive selection and so affordable too, I was in my element! I again got all these extra early this year, I think it was mid november as they sell out so fast. I also got a few from Marks & spencer, B&Q, sainsburys and Tesco. I did see some gorgeous ones in John Lewis but they were a tad bit more expensive and I didn’t really want to pay £5 per bauble. The Range though was really reasonable and were priced around £1-3 each

I’ve had so many people ask me about these presents I have under my tree, I got these last year but I have seen them again this year. They’re from the range, They always have the best christmas selection hands down, I’ve loved it for the past few years now. These presents light up and look so pretty under the tree. I was so happy to find this mink/champagne colour too, as it goes perfect with my decor. Just be warned the glitter drops off these and goes everywhere, but I look past it as they are pretty!

My tree does have lights I promise ha ha  but I only put them on when it gets dark and I forgot to put them on to take the pictures for this post.

My tip is definitely wait a few weeks into december and also after christmas to get some sets in the sale, I did this last year and found some right bargains, the really big baubles currently at the bottom of my tree I found in the sainsburys sale last year for £2 and they were originally about £6 so I was very happy with that bargain. I actually picked up a set today in sainsburys it was a 50 piece set for only £8, orginally £20 that I can use for next year. It has a mixture of beads, baubles, snow flakes and icicles.

Apart from my tree I don’t really put much else up as I prefer a simple look. we do have our light up reindeer’s out the front of the house though that I like to call Rudolph and comet.

Even Elliott has got his permanent spot next to the christmas tree, I’m loving how cosy the living room looks and feels with the Tree up.

What colour scheme is your christmas tree and decorations this year? let me know below.

Thanks for reading xo

My Santa has been and John has only got me Dalmati My Santa has been and John has only got me Dalmatian print wrapping paper 😭 this could have been my present alone and I would have been thrilled! Love how it goes with my Dalmatian baubles 🤩 he knows me so well 🎁 🖤and it’s completely recyclable 👌🏼♻️
Just the presents to put under the tree, the annua Just the presents to put under the tree, the annual Christmas Eve clean up, set up the Christmas Day table and get myself sorted and pampered and we are all ready!! Can’t wait to just chill for a few days as Christmas always goes so quick doesn’t it. I Hope you all have a lovely Christmas whatever it is you will be doing 🎄 🎅🏻🤶🏻 🎁 🍾🥂 here’s some pictures of my tree with the lights on, it’s weird as these lights I got from the range look different each time I turn them on 🙈 I think I prefer my old ones from last year to be honest👀
I’ve been looking for dog harnesses and leads fo I’ve been looking for dog harnesses and leads for a while now as we wanted something new for the new additions we have. I got Elliott’s old ones from America and I just hadn’t seen anything I really loved until I came across @popandtedthreads and I fell in love with their whole range, especially the made to order personalised ones where you can pick your own fabric, trim and hardware colours.  Of course I just had to have this monochrome Dalmatian print fabric😍🤩 I can’t believe they’re completely hand made, I’m so impressed with the quality and finish.  You can tell a lot of hard work and love goes into these so thank you @popandtedthreads my little pups are going to love their new stuff for Christmas and will look so cute!! Thought I would share incase anyone else was looking for really unique dog accessories 🖤
I really wanted to change up this Christmas Wreath I really wanted to change up this Christmas Wreath this year and add some bits to it but I just haven’t had the time, not even put up half of my Christmas decorations that I wanted to. 😭 So I just added some more snow and glitter to this and have made do 🙈 honesty where has this year and month gone...it’s flown by and I’m not ready for Christmas in the slightest, got to finish my shopping tomorrow and wrap everything, do the food shop and have a good clean up in the house! Oh take me back to being a kid and being excited for Christmas ha ha! 🎅🏻🤶🏻🎄
Another job ticked off the list and one step close Another job ticked off the list and one step closer to finally finishing everything in the kitchen yay. 😊 I really wanted an antique mirror cooker splash back, it’s the reason I didn’t go for tiles in here and went for up-stands instead as I didn’t want it looking OTT and I definitely think less is more in the kitchen. This white antique glass was specially made and took about 6-8 weeks but I love it. 🤩You can really see the antique detailing up close (swipe for pic) although we have had some slight issues with the measurements on the boxing in area around the island which we also wanted in glass. A little disappointing, so that’s got to be sorted out but I’m hoping it will be done before Christmas 🤞🏻
I just love Christmas decor ☺️ everything feel I just love Christmas decor ☺️ everything feels so cosy 🎄✨I’m surprised I’ve got any chocolates and sweets left on my tables though, because my niece keeps trying to eat them all when she comes over 😂
Christmas tree reveal 🤩🌲🎄 Although I pret Christmas tree reveal 🤩🌲🎄 Although I pretty much showed it on my Instagram stories🙊swipe for lots more up close pics....it’s a bit of a weird one this year, as I’m not feeling Christmassy in the slightest yet, this tree and all the decorations were supposed to be for the new kitchen but that plan has gone out the window thanks to the two new puppies that have taken over my kitchen. So I’ve used all these bits for the living room instead. Sorry for my lack of posts,  I’ve got a hell of a lot going on and I’m still not 100% myself. Details below •Christmas tree 🎄 -  is the snowy alpine 6ft from @christmastreeworld and I am obsessed! It’s so gorgeous and full looking! •All the flowers and sprays - from @tonyalmondonline ( my best find this year for amazing affordable decorations) •other decorations from @therangeuk and my local garden centres @longacresbagshot & @oaktreegardencentre •made the Dalmatian baubles myself it was so easy •stocking holders @homesense_ukie and the fluffy stockings are from @ebay_uk
Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about this when I posted it on my stories over the weekend🙈 I literally just wanted something to store all my hair styling tools so they didn’t look all messy and tangled. I ended up on eBay and found and ordered these wall mounted holders...I didn’t even know they did special dyson hairdryer holders but I had to have one! I sprayed mine gold (obviously) because I didn’t want them black or silver and attached them to the side of my Ikea Alex unit and I’m so pleased with how it looks ☺️ These GHDs are also yearsssss old but some how still work perfectly and I can’t part with them because they’re a gorgeous gold! 😭
Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve always wanted a proper dressing area, somewhere I can get ready and have all my clothes and accessories to hand. Before I was going in 2/3 rooms just to find bits, as I had it all scattered around 🙈 So pleased I went with the ikea corner pax wardrobe and got very excited over the pull out tray for my jewellery and accessories. (It’s the little things)...I don’t need no fancy pretty hammonds wardrobe....Ikea will do me nicely 😂 My bags won’t be staying like this either as I need to get another shelf next time I go to Ikea. I originally thought I needed more rail space but turns out I don’t, I think I just liked the idea of these pull out rails 🤨
I recently switched my beauty room around, (if you I recently switched my beauty room around, (if you watch my stories you would have seen) So I now have the bigger spare bedroom for my beauty and dressing area yay! And I’m so pleased with it. 😍 I’ve got so much more room now and I had a good sort out and declutter while I was at it, and no more buying makeup I don’t need✋🏻 the Dalmatian spots won’t be going back on the wall but I’ve got use for them somewhere else 👀 I love Dalmatian print but I thought with my new Dalmatian rug it was a little over kill 😂
Got these faux fur Dalmatian cushions from next fo Got these faux fur Dalmatian cushions from next for the living room...didn’t like how they looked in here for some reason, as preferred my other ones🙈 so these are now on the sofa in John’s gaming room 😂 I’m wondering if he will notice that my dalmatian print obsession will slowly be taking over in that room too 👀🙊
I love me some gold and spotty print office statio I love me some gold and spotty print office stationery!! America have the best stuff, which I’m sorry to say is where most of this is from but I often see gorgeous bits in tkmaxx and Homesense. Now my desk is all clean and tidy I must get back to actually blogging and doing some work 👀✍🏻👩🏼‍💻
Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pamp Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pampas before. 😍 Absolutely love @foxglove.studio / @foxglove.studiothekiosk for their amazing selection of dried flowers and the service is always brilliant. These are like a grey/ silver tone and are absolutely beautiful and so fluffy. I’m hoping their  website is up and running soon so I can browse and buy lots more 👀🤞🏻plus so many people keep asking me where all my dried flowers are from 🌾🌾
So happy I got these over the sofa side tables. I’ve had my eye on these for a while now and found them in my local tk maxx and they weren’t damaged for a change so I had to get them. They make the perfect side tables when you don’t have much room. 🖤
