A mum has turned her house into a nostalgic Christmas wonderland brimming with more than 1,000 retro decorations from the 1960s and 1970s - including an 80-year-old vintage tree fashioned from toilet brushes.

Vintage enthusiast Lisa Watts, 53, began collecting items in the early 1990s - inspired by cherished childhood memories of festive shopping trips. Her two-bedroom maisonette in Cardiff now feels like travelling through a portal to the past.

It features a 1940s tree and a 1970s television set transformed into a diorama and draped in tinsel. Lisa's decorations adorn every room of the property and she reports that her husband Keith, 72, and son Jake, 18, are equally fond of the retro display.
