Christmas at Casa de Dolly

Hurrah, it’s Christmas time! I’m SUCH a festive person and I got to decorate my own place for the very first time this year. I thought I’d go over board but I’ve actually been very restrained.  I’ve had to be a bit careful with the amount I’ve spent but I’m really pleased with the look of the place.

Starting with my front door

I love a traditional wreath but I thought this was a little different. Cheap and cheerful, about £8 from Wilkinson’s.

My bathroom

A tiny pink tree from Poundland!

Cute Noel from Wilkinson’s for a few quid.

My table is tiny so I can’t have a proper centre piece. I made my candles festive instead.

Glass tealight holders- Ikea, Owl tealight holder- Accesorize, White Mistletoe candle- Sainsbury’s, Gold reindeer tealight holder- Sainsbury’s.

I couldn’t escape the tradition of putting my cards on the door

and decorating Pugsley

and finally- THE TREE!  Since our ceilings are so high we got a 7ft tree.

It still looks tiny! I went for a gold and white theme as my living room is black, white and yellow.  I love special decorations and these are the first in my collection.

From the Christmas shop in NYC.

I really love special tree decorations and look forward to building my collection.

So that’s it! My cheap and cheerful Christmas.

All the little touches are better than going over board! Keeps it minimal and classic :)
