The Retro Decorator - Noughties Christmas

Up to now it hasn't seemed right to touch my own beloved stash of home magazines for the Retro Decorator series; a) because I still have so much of my mum's back catalogue to get through, and b) because I just haven't really considered my lovely LivingEtc magazines to be anything other than current!

The truth of the matter is though, that in only a couple of weeks, even the noughties will be the "last decade" (anyone know what we are supposed to be calling the next decade?). So, you can tell me I'm cheating if you like, but here then are three different looks from the December 2002 take on Seasonal Style:

Happy Christmas!!
