Festive decor: wall Christmas trees

Tuesday, December 4th, 2012

We’re officially counting down to Christmas! Woo! And what better way to do it then a round up of alternative Christmas trees (actually I predict watching Love Actually and drinking snowballs is a better way but this will just have to do!)

When it comes to Christmas, I personally think tradition is pretty darn good. And so a big green tree would always be the main festive feature for me. However, sometimes it’s nice to deck the whole house out in decorations and I think today’s tree ideas would be perfect for the children’s rooms. Mainly because they’re on the wall so they’re less likely to get destroyed!

Fairy Light Feature

Wednesday, December 14th, 2011

There are fairy lights everywhere at this time of year! I love it! But they shouldn’t just be restricted to Christmas, and certainly not in children’s lives, so here are some ideas and lots of inspiration for how you can use fairy lights as a feature in children’s rooms:

Christmas card time!

Saturday, November 26th, 2011

It’s almost time to send out Christmas cards and if you have a new addition to the family this year perhaps you’re thinking of popping them on this year’s card? If so, how about the adorable idea of photographing them with fairy lights?! Now I’ve seen a few of these pictures on Pinterestfollowed by comments of how irresponsible it would be to let your child play with fairy lights. I think that’s a little harsh. As long as you don’t take your eyes off them long enough to chew through the wires, which you wouldn’t, then this would be fine. And it looks soooooo cute!

The above left is a professional photographer’s shot, the one on the right taken with a mobile phone; both insanely adorable! So don’t worry about having a fancy camera to give this a go :)

If you like the idea but are really worried about the lights then just photograph them in front…

Still so sweet :)
