Hello all!
As you can tell from our Christmas tree post, we are obsessed with Christmas, and we couldn't wait to decorate the apartment all jolly and get into the Christmas spirit! So here are some ideas you can use to decorate your own place or room.

Christmas Bunting: kikki.K $9.95 | Yellow Candlesticks: Bought by Grace's roommate, Teagan, most likely from Ikea. | Orange Vase: Op Shop | Flowers: $1 each at a cheap store
We watch The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon each night at 7:40pm on ABC2
Table Runner: Purchased a few years ago from Spotlight | Christmas Mugs: Spotlight last year, $5 | Tealight, Holders and Red Glitter: Ikea | Notebooks: Typo $16.95 (the gold one can be purchased here) | Santa Tealight Holder: Op Shop $2 | Paper Santa Hat: Purchased last year from either Big W or a cheap store?
Christmas Cat Cushion: Grace got this from an Op Shop from our hometown last year. we love how the tree is made up of cats! It is becoming a new Christmas tradition. "The Christmas Pillow".

Advent Calendars are essential. These Cadbury Wishes calendars we got on special at Coles for $3.50 and proceeds go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. We hanged them on top of the calendar's next to the Christmas tree.

We had so much fun decorating! A lot of this stuff we grabbed from home, such as the table runner, paper santa hats and our Christmas mugs. As you could see from our post about our christmas tree, we are going for a silver, red, white and gold theme with bits of green here and there. Our Tree at home was aways so random and busy and eclectic and we loved it s much, so this colour co-ordinaion/colour scheme is new to us. But we have found that by having a colour scheme, it makes decorating a whole lot easier and can tie the whole thing together.
We did all of our decorating on December the 1st (aka Christmas 1st!) and that night we had a group skype call with our parents and older brother at home, who were decorating their tree, and then added our Mum's side of the family who were all together and we revealed our trees and "christmas" around our homes to each other. It was all so crazy because we love Christmas so much and everyone was excited and it was just wonderful. We can't wait to travel and spend Christmas Eve/Day with them! Skype is truly an amazing thing.
Leading up to Christmas, we will be doing a range of Christmas-themed posts, as well as a few "regular" posts here and there. Kind of like a "Blogmas". So get excited for that!
I hope you enjoyed this post. Let us know your favourite part or if you have any questions in the comment section below! Also, if you have anything you'd like to see us post about, let us know and we'll try and organise something for you :)
