I love that show, it will look fab.

I am going to get some ribbon and have dried orange slices and cinnamon all around the house.

I say that every year but i am going to do it this year!

In fact am going to ebay some ribbon now!

We just have the stuff that the cats haven't broken yet. They love Christmas!

I had thought about tartan...and then remembered that it's basically red, green and gold isn't it? Sad

New house, so buying new tree and decs. Think I am going for teal, green and silver/white.

Red and gold in the lounge and a mix of Scandinavian and gingerbread themed in the kitchen.

I really want to start silver in the hall and landing but is that just too many themes?

the themes in different rooms works well. I do traditional (snowmen, little Father Christmases, brass bells, fabric stockings and candy canes) on the fir swags on the bannister with white lights.

Then usually red/gold on the mantlepiece, candles, and one of those draping mantel covers -red/gold.
The tree has white lights and all the glass baubles.

The dining room/sitting room has fir swags in the dividing 'arch' with either gold/bronze or silver/glass.
Then the other colour on the upstairs bannister.
But I move them round each year, it's mainly safety that is the factor (glass away from the DC) Grin

But it works well, one theme into another.

And my collection grows every year.
I've bought some lovely gold/olive green glass baubles from Costco for this year.

Ooohhh im glad to hear that I'm not the only one thinking about christmas already! I love making my own garlands with holly, ivy, dried oranges, ribbon, pine cones etc. the smell is divine! I have two trees each year one that is very traditional with all kids decorations and the other in the kitchen which has a pink, gold and maroon theme!

We just have all colours, every year. We decorate 3 rooms downstairs but not the kitchen and definitely not bedrooms.
Its generally what we have collected over the years and the place is a bit Santa's grotto. Its not for long though. Ours go up around the 14th and come down New Years Day as xmas was last year. I can't stand them up in January, lol.
I think it would be quite expensive to change colours every year and time consuming. But each to their own.
