Does Christmas make you feel stressed?

You can't avoid it. Christmas is here. It's on the streets, in the shops, on TV - everywhere. Some people will rejoice, others will recoil.
How do you feel about Christmas - does it stress you out or is it the best season ever?

How do you make a nursery feel modern?
Comments (6)I agree with Genevieve, convertible, good quality baby furniture is money well spent too. There are decals as well that are very modern and transitional. Anything nature-related is also timeless and can be used for years so pick your colours from nature....See MoreAdvice to make my cold, plain, open plan space feel warm and inviting!
Comments (32)Hi Catherine, You have a lovely open plan kitchen and lounge, but as you say, it lacks punch and interest. Since you're stuck with the stainless steel kitchen for the time being, you need to work with it and have some fun. A symmetrical arrangement of stainless steel shelves either side of the splash back for the cooker would allow you to put up interesting bottles, plants, china, etc. What about painting this wall a bright colour like Seville Orange from Crown and the other walls in natural white. You could also paint the base of the island in the Seville Orange. In the seating area, use the orange colour and some others like plum or blue-grey in fabric patterns, have cushions made up for the seating area. Also an area rug large enough for the front feet of your sofas and the coffee table to sit on with colour would brighten up this area. It's unfortunate that the TV is blocking a French window. Can it be moved somewhere else, perhaps the bay if the bottom shutters are never opened? Instead of half of the bay window having plantation shutters, I would recommend a second upper row, which could be folded back or, if you don't need coverage for privacy on the upper windows, have an interesting, colourful valance. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=valance+and+plantation+shutters+for+a+bay+window&biw=1516&bih=839&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAWoVChMIzdu7xO-FyAIVh0gUCh1aigXI&dpr=0.95#tbm=isch&q=valance++for+a+bay+window&imgrc=SjLxqYYGnQmhlM%3A...See MoreDo you host or attend Christmas dinner?
Comments (1)For us, Christmas day varies every year. Sometimes with the bigger side of the family where there are over 20 of us, other times with perhaps only 8 of us! The main thing for me is that i'm spending it with the closest people to me, as well as ensuring that I get a few pigs in blankets!!...See MoreHow to make bedroom feel complete
Comments (17)This is a beautiful room, as is the bed. Have you thought about repositioning the bed to the right wall so that when you sit in bed, you face the windows? Might be more relaxing. Also the whole arrangement is "floating" because the room is quite large and there are no zones. A rug is definitely needed to anchor the bed and bedside tables. The pendant lights are quite large for what looks like a relatively low ceiling. We also have a bedroom under eaves and have completely minimalist lights (they're like white spotlights and blend with the white ceiling); we even wanted recessed lights but it couldn't be installed in the ceiling so that was the next best thing. Finally, perhaps you can add some cushions in accent colours e.g. orange or yellow contrast well with blue and grey, and they feel warm as well, hence would warm up the relatively cool scheme (3 should be enough, doesn't have to be loads, to keep your other half happy!). Good luck!...See More
