Bye Bye Christmas

Today I finally finished packing away all my Christmas decorations


and my tree is ready to put away for another year


Hmmm I need to sort out those fairy lights if I don't want a struggle next Christmas!

Cabin fever is setting in this evening having spent 2 days at home tidying, sorting and decluttering!

I've removed my ugly curtain rails from the lounge so my windows have gone from this


to this



I don't know if it's just the feeling of space having a 7ft Christmas tree no longer taking up room but I'm loving how open removing the curtains and rails makes my lounge feel

I will be adding blinds rather than curtains in due course and can't wait till I can get to the stage of dressing the window sill

  1. I think my curtains may be coming down too, we already have blinds so really no need for the curtains.
    Looks much better I think xx

  5. you are worse than me for wanting to get everything put away! I'm glad with what has been done here, and am looking forward to finishing off the rest next week.

    Yes, the rooms ALWAYS seem bigger once everything has been given the boot!
    But I think in your case, removing those curtains has certainly helped alot.

  7. I usually pack my trimmings away early, everything starts to look a bit bedraggled after Christmas, but you're way ahead of me. I suppose mine will get done over the weekend.

  13. Your quick off the mark with the decs :0) I don't like to pack mine away until about the 4th of Jan, that is when they all start to annoy me and I start to notice dust on the tree baubles ;0) xxx Have a lovely New Year
