Inspiration For Christmas / A Winter Moodboard

With Christmas just around the corner, I have a winter inspired moodboard to share with you today. For whatever reason this year, I've left Christmas to the very last minute-my shopping is still to be finished and the cupboards are as of yet bare, but I have at least thought about decor for the festive season. As long as it looks good, who needs food, right? Ha! I find that inspiration is more likely to strike when you're short of time or need a quick solution and this is definitely one of those situations.To tie in with our living space I've picked out a muted palette of light grey, soft pink, ivory and white with a smattering of copper to give it some lift. I'm not so much into bright colour these days, so this is a compromise. Still, they have a cool tone to them but still feel warm, don't you think? Hyacinth bulbs also play a part this year as you saw in my cosy and green bedroom, so I've also had it in mind to display some alongside candles in cut glass vases. More on that soon...The tree went up on Sunday and we decorated it with minimal fuss, just lights and a few wood and metal baubles - in fact it was a wise move as Tabitha is very keen on taking off the baubles to play with. I feel like I spend all day telling her "no" and discovering copper stars hidden under things! When I come down in the morning, the first thing I smell now is that fir tree, takes me right back to my childhood, such an evocative scent...Check back on Friday as I have the-most-beautiful DIY garland to share with you. I can't wait for you to see it!So tell me, what are your plans for Christmas this year?
