Festive Dresser

I love my 'dresser' - I call it a dresser but it really isn't. It's an old sideboard bought from a junk shop 10+ years ago and on top, an old set of shelves destined for the skip, are perched.

It sits between 2 old built in glass door cabinets, built into the alcoves either side of what would have been a fireplace in our dining room. We boarded over the wall, as the previous occupants had removed the fireplace and had put a fish tank there in it's place.

It has become the main focus of the room - cards for all occasions get displayed there, be it a simple thank you, birthday or now Christmas. Usually a bunch of flowers, typically tulips occupy the top but for now my festive foliage collection. The picture was a gift from my husband and twinkling fairy lights surround it, all year long. The large, white, chunky, wooden stars also remain up all year long, bought from my favourite local shop in Wells - Maddie Brown's.

The drawer handles are home to the festive sleigh bells and with the tree close by, my 'dresser' is the perfect festive addition to any room.
