We’ve been getting into the festive spirit here at my house, it’s the first time I’ve properly had a living room so I really wanted to make it pretty. I’ve mixed a few shop bought items with some decorations I made myself, such as the pom-poms on the tree and the silver paper bunting (which is really easy to make). I chose the cream knitted tree from Habitat as an alternative to a traditional Christmas tree and added some cute animals, including the must-have sausage dog! My favourites, though, are the three stars made out of maps of England, which are from a small shop at the base of the OXO tower on the South Bank.
