Red and white

About a year ago exactly i decided that i wanted a red wall in the living room, we had only been living in our house for 8 months and the wall i wanted red had only been painted green a few months ago, i had many moans from the man himself...................but you see you have to live in a place for a while to get a real feel of what colours the house wants to be................well the living room wanted to be red and white, above the front door is two red panes of glass and one of white so the colours were there already i just didn't see them when i first decorated.....................anyway i found the perfect red................ Cath kidston paint by craig and rose in pillar box red, i ordered it and it has sat in the cupboard for almost a year, until this friday, yes we finally got round to painting the wall red, i like it alot and so does the room,it really brings out the red in my lovely vintage barkcloth curtains, we just need to be rid of the hideous fire and replace it with an original victorian cast iron fireplace.........all i good time i have to say to my impatient self !!!!

this weekend also seen the buying of the christmas tree and we had a very lovely time decorating it, drinking mulled wine whilst listening to xfm xmas album, motown xmas album and the medieval baebes xmas album............. the red and white decorations go so great with the room.

Matilda loves the tree and has only eaten THREE yes three gingerbread hearts of the tree........... very bad dog !!

to look at her butter wouldn't melt..............................don't be fooled !! i think she is eyeing up her fourth one..............................

Your tree looks gorgeous, and your red wall stunning.
But my eyes were drawn to the Granny blanket on the back of the chair, did you make it??? Its the EXACT type of colours I'm going to be using for my next blanket - bright colours surrounded by white.
Any chance of giving me a close look at it??? Pretty please????
Thanks !
