Christmassy Bedtimes With Great Little Trading Co.

by thejoyoffiveLeave a Comment on Christmassy Bedtimes With Great Little Trading Co.

[GIFTED] I am like Mother Christmas, and the minute Halloween and Bonfire Night are out of the way it’s full steam ahead with Christmas prep for me!

I actually love the run up to Christmas more than the day itself. The children are all balls of excitement and there just seems to be a little magic in everything.

When it comes to decorating the house I’ve always left it to the downstairs, and have never really thought about doing anything in the children’s rooms before, so when I was kindly sent some Christmas Bedding sets from Great Little Trading Co. I knew this was going to be a new tradition for us.

I went out a got a mini Christmas tree – lights an all and a poinsettia for their chest of drawers which was the perfect match for the bedding sets.

The crisp white 100% cotton sets come with a duvet cover and making pillow case, both of which has a super cute Christmas print with woodland animals and of course Father Christmas himself.

You can also get matching stockings and Christmas sacks that would complement the bed sets perfectly; and the classic theme means they can be used for many years to come.

This year has been a little sparse on the magic front, so this has made a lovely addition to the boys room and has definitely got them more than ready for Christmas!

Creating A ‘Boy Zone’ With Yorkshire Linen

by thejoyoffiveLeave a Comment on Creating A ‘Boy Zone’ With Yorkshire Linen

In our house the children love nothing better than stressing me out by lol deciding to change around bedrooms! At the moment there is actually only one of the children’s rooms decorated as I had refused to do anything until they finally made up their minds where they wanted to be.

Number two has struck lucky and now has the biggest room which is wonderfully light and airy with plenty of room for him to have friends round which is what he needs now he is approaching the big ’13’.

He has a big love for scooting which I thought he would like reflected in his room but he has informed me that he would like to go for a monochrome look.

This is gong to be nice and easy and can be easily achieved with the addition of some simple lighting changes.

Currently he is putting up with his sister’s floral duvet so changes in his soft furnishings will make a big difference.

  

Yorkshire Linen have asked me to create a mood board to depict how I would like to see my room.  There was such a big selection of beautiful soft furnishings on their site it was very hard to pick.

I’ve gone with his dream room and picked lots of black and white with some fabulous # cushions that are prefect to create a teenage boys den!

  
I can’t wait to get started and will have the finished room up on the blog very soon.
