I’ve held out for as long as I could! It’s December… I’m coming to terms with the fact that Christmas is just a few weeks away. Everyone’s Instagram squares are full of Christmas crafts & decorations; welcoming wreaths on front doors, advent calenders on the go, tastefully trimmed trees, home-made mince pies, puddings and sloe gin. I’ve just not got my act together this year – nothing has been prepared!
This week’s house is one of the most like our own that we’ve ever featured… we too have garlands of hops hanging from our old beams, we’ve also re-purposed a vintage steamer trunk as a coffee table (and make good use of the storage it affords inside). We have brown leather armchairs, enamel chamber sticks and brass candleholders, wicker baskets and woollen throws…
…and this image is most likely what we’ll be doing on the 25th of December – enjoying a cosy fireside cottage Christmas day.
We’ll be spending this Yuletide ‘à deux’ or ‘à trois’ if you include Barley the Weimaraner. At 4 months old, it will be his very first cottage Christmas, and he’s already discovered that he loves sitting in front of a warming fire!
