I was going to include these photos in that 'our Christmas in photos so far' post that I published yesterday but I realised that there are too many, and actually I kind of want them in their own post. So, if you're interested, here's how our house is looking this Christmas. I've toned it down a little this year, not wanting to get absolutely everything down from the loft. Just decorating the corners that really need it and not wanting to add too much clutter to those that don't. We decorate really early, the last weekend of November, as it's quite an effort to get everything out and up so I want to enjoy it for as long as possible! And I just love the glow that the tree gives in the lounge each evening, I kind of wish we could just keep it until the clocks change in March!

This year's wreath.

by the kitchen sink

over mantle garland from Costco. Noel letters were from an American Etsy seller a few years back. Mini pre-lit christmas tree online here.

Garland online here, last year's version, now in the sale. Sleigh and galvanised tub both vintage.

Nordic hoops from Viv & Bo. Large hoop is a hula hoop we found in a skip that Ben covered in hessian. Then we added greenery.

Christmassy lounge. My favourite place to be right now in front of the fire.

Vintage ice skates. Star online here.

Garland here, now in the sale.

Heart wreath online here, now in the sale.

the best christmas scent, now in the sale.

Cutest little fiat with a tree from Tilly & Sage on instagram.

Hope you're feeling suitably merry?
