Christmas Shopping | The H&M Christmas Home Range

It is so sparkly and pretty ^_^ H and M home have outdone themselves this year will all the sparkles I think! If only my living room were decorated like this. 

I am quite certain that I want to get one of the fur rugs from ikea to drape over a dining room chair. I have a sneaking suspicion that if i do that though the cat will never be off it ^_^. I love that cushion but I already have 3 sequin cushions which are actually quite painful. Those candle tumblers have a beautiful pattern! I think adding lace to my decor would really help. 

Does it look very cold? Ive just been concentrating on the photos below for a little while and coming up to this white and silver theme has made me think its cold. Maybe if the tree wasn't white.. and it was green. Might make it a little warmer. 

ooOo elegant! I love the placemats.. i use silver chargers but I think the glitter adds a new element with the texture. 

oo christmas sacks! Do you use these? Probably for children.. again.. the cat would never get out of them!

 These are the colours of my christmas living room and crazy coloured christmas! OoOOO! I could add pinks in the kitchen! (referring to the post about Tara Anderson gift wrap and Silly Old Suitcase pink wreath) I want the second tea towel. 

And my dining room is silver! Of course! Those napkin rings are gorgeous but I do have some rather fancy napkin rings that are like little clusters of clear and silver beads. 

The natural element added in with this nordic themed room makes it look so cozy and warm. Mine will be very stark this year I think from the white. Im hoping to get a new christmas tree too as the one we had the past two years is actually older than I am and the branches are a little stark. With all the new trees available Im going for a very tall tree and also slim so it doesn't get caught up in the curtains. I would love a little wooden plinth with wheels for under the tree so I could move it away from the window easily. I may need to raid the DIY store when I buy the tree. 

I love that silver heart ^_^ I have a similar decoration that hangs off our window all year around.  Currently (on the old tree) Our tree skirt is a lot of white felt that I accidentally cut to much when making the hole for the skirt but I don't think I would want another one like above. As beautiful as it is Im thinking it will be covered by presents and random boxes of cookies and things ^_^ I always buy a box of the Ikea swedish cinnamon thins in a  christmas tin. They are delicious in coffee. 

ooh look at that fire! Cushions are one thing I definitely do need to organise for this christmas! I know I have one red reindeer cushion but I would need to swap out the black and white that I currently have on it. I have two cream; one semi fluffy, more stringy and one crochet cushion. I think I would like to add on that stripy cushion. The red looks beautiful and rich. 


You guys been buying any decorations yet? Ive a few presents ready for people but not wrapped. AND I finally decided about my gift wrapping... Im going to make a box with a removable lid.. with the most gorgeous toppings and beautiful details, and inside I shall store my christmas labels, ribbons and bows to be used every year. voila! Done and done ^_^

Lots of love Claire xo
