Set back from the road, Merry Christmas signs welcome you as you step through a small gate, giving you a taste of what&#8217;s to come. Walking down the garden path to a pink semi-detached home, Holly later reveals her son has been asking if they can repaint the house white.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7936 \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/untitled-11-5714628.jpg?resize=116%2C46&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"untitled-11-5714628\" width=\"116\" height=\"46\"&nbsp;\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Once you&#8217;re through the front door all those wonderful childhood memories of stepping into Father Christmas&#8217; grotto come flooding back. Paper snowflakes hang from the ceiling in the kitchen, festive candles scent the rooms and foliage is used to decorate shelves and mantelpieces. A potted Christmas tree, delicately decorated, takes centre stage in an old bread bin on a stool by the sink. Despite the dreariness of a cold December day looming outside, it is warm, rustic and homely.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7954 \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_9689-Edit-5958770-e1590692529444.jpg?resize=701%2C528&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"img_9689-edit-5958770\" width=\"701\" height=\"528\"&nbsp;\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">We counted six Christmas trees dotted about Holly&#8217;s home.

Traditional decorations, like a pair of old ice skates, hang from rustic wall hooks, foraged foliage from the garden lines a large central blackboard and ornate candlesticks, while Holly&#8217;s DIY additions create a homely and festive feel.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7936 \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/untitled-11-5714628.jpg?resize=116%2C46&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"untitled-11-5714628\" width=\"116\" height=\"46\"&nbsp;\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Dried oranges and popcorn garlands hang from the tree and mini Christmas trees have been popped inside vintage Kilner jars with a flurry of fake snow for an inexpensive display. Everyday items are repurposed too &#8211; from old window frames to salvaged wood panels for making signs and garden soil sieves cleverly hung on the walls and used for shelving.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7947 \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/untitled-1-7647849.jpg?resize=946%2C489&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"untitled-1-7647849\" width=\"946\" height=\"489\"&nbsp;\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Lots has been taken from the garden too. Sprigs of holly are tucked into Holly&#8217;s vast collection of vintage white jugs in the display cabinet, large pinecones line the fireplace, homemade wreaths adorn the walls while offcuts of fir and pine fill stockings and old milk cans. Foliage is easy to find &#8211; from our gardens to wild hedgerows &#8211; or even from your local florist. A large bunch of holly or ivy can be separated and divided between vases for a beautiful table display or bunched together for an impressive mantelpiece arrangement.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7936 \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/untitled-11-5714628.jpg?resize=116%2C46&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"untitled-11-5714628\" width=\"116\" height=\"46\"&nbsp;\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Holly has a magical way with lighting too. Cleverly placed lamps illuminate dark corners, garlands of fairy lights decorate window panes and mirrors, while the bright lights of the\u00a0<em>many<\/em>\u00a0Christmas trees bring a cosy and homely feel to every room.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7951 \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_9783-Edit-5090925-e1590692516175.jpg?resize=710%2C474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"img_9783-edit-5090925\" width=\"710\" height=\"474\"&nbsp;\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">If we thought the dining room was festive, the living room did nothing short of taking our breath away. The open fire, the stockings lining the mantelpiece below a beautifully handmade garland, the two large Christmas trees placed either end and colourfully decorated, the presents and fabric sacks beneath the tree &#8211; &#8216;I just fill them with plastic bags!&#8217; laughs Holly &#8211; and all the thoughtful finishing touches that make this room such a joy to be in.<em>\u00a0&#8216;The lead up to Christmas is very special to me, and I try to make it as magical as possible for the boys\u2019,&#8217; <\/em>explains Holly.<em> &#8216; Every room gets a touch of Christmas in our house. It only comes once a year so why not make it as special and beautiful as you can?&#8217;<\/em><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7950 \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_9747-Edit-5795099-e1590692499874.jpg?resize=604%2C405&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"img_9747-edit-5795099\" width=\"604\" height=\"405\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">A rented property that was in dire need of a lick of paint when they first moved in two and half years ago, Holly has made this house a beautiful and welcoming home. <em>&#8216;It was very dated, with dark green carpet throughout and magnolia walls. The first things we did were to paint the whole house white, re-carpeted the bedrooms, lounge and stairs, and laid new vinyl in the dining room, bathroom and kitchen.&#8217;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7936 \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/untitled-11-5714628.jpg?resize=116%2C46&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"untitled-11-5714628\" width=\"116\" height=\"46\"&nbsp;\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Whilst renting can bring with it its limitations when it comes to decorating and putting your own stamp on it, Holly has overcome these with innovative, inspiring and inexpensive ideas. <em>&#8216;We didn\u2019t like the fireplaces here as they were very dated and just not to our taste. So, we made a basic cover from fire board and MDF to cover the existing fireplace, which can be lifted away if we were to ever leave,&#8217; <\/em>Holly explains.<em> &#8216;A beam placed on top gives a rustic and unique look while pretty curtains in interesting patterns\/textures can help to hide ugly windows and appliances. Changing hardware on internal doors can completely transform their appearance too.&#8217;<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7952 \" style=\"text-align: start;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Living-edit-7658753.jpg?resize=962%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"living-edit-7658753\" width=\"962\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The exposed brickwork\u00a0seen in the living room &#8211; which adds a rustic, farmhouse feel &#8211; is actually wallpaper. Holly&#8217;s advice to hide less-than-attractive fireplaces &#8211; for her <em>&#8216;the heart of the home&#8217;<\/em> &#8211; can be reimagined for covering radiators too. Use salvaged second-hand mantelpieces &#8211; which, in turn, provide a perfect perch for displaying wreaths and decorations. A salvaged chipped door holds a letterbox addressed to the North Pole while old buckets beside the fire hold kindling and branches of foliage.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7957 \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_9701-Edit-5418637-e1590692479470.jpg?resize=645%2C423&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"img_9701-edit-5418637\" width=\"645\" height=\"423\"&nbsp;\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">In the kitchen, Holly tells us she had new cabinet doors made to replace the old melamine-style ones and simply painted them white for a rustic feel.\u00a0<em>&#8216;A lick of paint and some new furnishings can make a big difference,&#8217; <\/em>she explains.<em>\u00a0&#8216;Think outside of the box and don\u2019t necessarily follow the rules.
