Love it. Always wanted to have a mantle to decorate..

This isn't the lovely elaborate mantle like I have in the bedroom. I have often wished to have a similar mantle here, Colin said he would bring the one I have upstairs and add it to this one in my lounge - then ooooh - we're cooking on gas!!!!!

So much festive fun here! Jenny, your over-the-top decorations are so dear to my heart, because I am the same way...more, More, MORE!!! :D Of course, these days we don't decorate at all but at some point we'll have another decorative Christmas and then Steve will have to dig the house out from under all of the ornaments and lights that I adorn everywhere! :D

*BIG MERRY CHRISTMAS HUGS*!! I hope you had a wonderful day my dear!!

Oh thanks Janet, when I lived in my other house, I had a smaller room, about 24ft by 15ft, so I could easily cover the whole room with decorations. The ceiling was only 10ft high, so I used to have garlands hanging from it.

Only? Only 10 ft? 24 x15 is a huge space too!

My ceilings here are 16ft high, so 10ft seems low now! As for the 24 x 15ft room, that was virtually the whole downstairs footprint apart from the 12 x 10ft kitchen! So it had to be the lounge diner, no escaping from anyone there!
