One of the best parts of Christmas is putting up your tree, so here’s ours!
I love putting up the tree, christmas jumpers on, christmas tunes blaring out… perfect!
I love the traditional red, gold and green of our decorations.
What theme is your tree??
Until Next Time,
Roseanne 🙂
Heres to a very important Christmas tradition, the start of the festive season…
… putting up your tree!
Here is ours this year.
Here are my little helpers! They loved helping me decorate the tree.
& of course we needed snacks to keep us going during the decorating process.
I put our tree up quite early this year (in the middle of November, dont hate me!!) I love it.
I love our red, gold and green themed tree and each year I buy a new bauble. This year I got us a few which will feature in another of my Blogmas posts (Affordable Christmas decs)
I got ua a cute ‘2019’ bauble too.
Tell me about your tree? 🎄
Ho Ho Ho

So, I had a couple of ideas of what to do for my next blog post but, I couldn’t decide which to do next. I took to Twitter (@RoseannesBlog) and asked my followers which one they would like to see, With a massive 75% of the vote was ‘Harry Potter room decor’.
When we moved into our flat my husband Tim chose the colour scheme for our bedroom and he went for red… little did he know that I would use this to transform it into a Harry Potter haven haha.
With Gryffindor being my favoured Hogwarts house this is the theme I went for as it went perfectly with the red colour scheme of the room, Lets take a look!
All of these pieces come from Primark (Bar one pillow which I received as a gift) On the left is my Harry Potter throw, its a lovely soft and snuggly white with the Gryffindor crest and other little pictures and symbols printed on it. Next up are the cushions, the pale, yellowy/brown coloured Mauraders map themed pillow was bought for me as a birthday present a few years ago. I love that it looks like the parchment of the map, with the print of the map on it. The other pillow is from Primark and its grey and red tones with the house crests on it. The bedding is so cool! Our bedroom furniture is from Ikea’s Malm range and is black so this bedding went perfectly. On one side it is all black with a large print of Hogwarts in white, the other side has small Hogwarts’s (Not sure that’s a word) printed onto white and a ‘H’ for Hogwarts, double sided, two for the price of one.
I picked up both of these from the Harry Potter studios tour in Watford. On the left is a Gryffindor banner and on the right is a Gryffindor flag. These are hung up on the red feature wall, either side of the window.
I also hang up my Gryffindor scarf over the headboard of our bed to add a touch of Gryffindor to the bed spread. I picked this up from the studio tour too.
I love these two prints. On the left is one from Primark that my older sister bought for me. I love this and it fitted perfectly in our room as it came with the black frame. I love the copper lightening bolts.
The other print I bought online and I really like the simplicity of this too. All black and super simple but cool.
I love these pieces, they are so awesome!! The candle is from Primark. I of course picked up the Gryffindor one but it also comes in the different houses too and a generic Hogwarts one (which I’m also tempted to get too) The bunting also comes from Primark and is EPIC! This is one of my favourite things.
The Gryffindor common room sign came from a recent Harry Potter event that me and my sister went to. I thought this was a cool little addition as our room definatly has Gryffindor common room/dormitory vibes! (Still trying to persuade Tim that we need drapes)
I hope you enjoyed this post 🙂
If you are on the look out for any Harry Potter items yourself (or clothes, shoes etc) be sure to check out Primark as their range is beyond awesome.
Until next time,
Roseanne 🙂
We have warm yellow lights for the tree.
Red and gold tinsel alternating throughout the tree adds a touch of sparkle.
We added the plain baubles first. We have a mix of sizes, shiny, matte & frosted baubles in our colour scheme of red, gold and green.
Once the plain baubles are on we added our personalised and hand picked decos. There are a few new ones, I like to pick up one or two each year in the lead up to the festive season. My mum sometimes gets me a decoration too.
We have a matte red star that tops our tree. It came in the set my mum originally bought us, when we moved out, along with the plain baubles. Tim did the honours.
Until next time,
Roseanne 🙂
For day 4 of Blogmas I thought that I would show you my Christmas decorations in our flat & our tree.
I know not everyone will agree with this but I put my tree and decorations up on November 25th, ready for just over a month of festive cheer.
First up, the tree 🎄
Yes we have a fake tree but this malts enough as it is, I don’t know people cope with a real tree with pines!!!
We have yellow Fairy lights on our tree with a red, gold & green theme for the decorations. Red & gold tinsel and red, gold & green baubles with other assorted decos and a red star for on top of the tree.
I always put the lights on first, followed by the bead string & tinsel, then the baubles, decorations & the star goes kn top last.
Our personalised Christmas sacks go next to the tree ready to be filled 🎁
i do love Christmas so I don’t stop with a decorated tree…
The lounge has been nicknamed ‘The grotto’ by Tim around this time of year because I am a bit OTT but I love it!
Lovely & festive 🌟
I love coming home and relaxing with the Christmas lights on, getting all cosy. All the lights look awesome at night time too, sometimes I just put them on instead of the main lights
DAY 4 of my beauty advent calender…
Today I got the Revolution strobing balm.
This one looks like shade ‘Hypnotic’. This is an illuminating balm for a neutral looking highlight to help sculpt the face.
It is a creme formula and apparently you can use this wet or dry depending on the intensity that you are going for.
I used the balm that I got in my calender yesterday as a primer and my make up did look really good all day while we were busy in London shopping, rushing around so this will be a nice little addition to my collection maybe saving it for a night out as I don’t worry too much when I’m just at work.
What’s your favourite Christmas decoration? lights? tinsel? Wreaths?
Ho Ho Ho
