Christmas reds

This year has seen a lot of white and blue decorations, but to me nothing says Christmas like traditional Scandinavian reds. A little goes a long way towards creating that festive feel.

Seasonal treats

This has been one of my favorite seasonal interiors for ages, have been holding off for the right time to share it with you all. Isn't it gorgeous? Love the amount of furs in this place, makes it all warm and cosy, and I love using seasonal treats as decorations. Not sure how safe that candle wreath is though, probably best not to try this at home. Still, it looks great.

Natural Christmas

Don't you just love the simplicity of this? Natural materials with hints of gold and blue makes for lovely, tranquil Christmas decorations.

Christmas blues

I am loving all the Christmas blues that are around this season. Very sophisticated. These gifts are so beautifully wrapped, they can easily be used as decorations. Only problem is, with wrapping this pretty, the gift inside might be a bit of a disappointment. Better just leave them in the wrapper.

Grasse Christmas window

Here is the first of this seasons Christmas windows for Grasse. Had fun making the paper garlands out of old paperbacks and tracing paper. Due to do the next one this coming week. Christmas seems to be approaching a bit too fast for my liking. 

  

Beautiful decay

Sometimes old and tired can be a lot more interesting than new and stylish. This decaying beauty is so stunning. I could wander through this building for hours, wondering what stories it could tell.

Weekend warmers: Cosy Corner

Every home should have a cosy corner where you can curl up in a comfy chair with cup of tea and a good book or the latest interior magazine. A plump cushion, warm blanket and good-looking reading light is mandatory.

     

     

It's beginning to look a lot like.....

I promised myself I would not do any Christmas post until December, or at least until first sunday of advent on the 28th of November. Hard not to get swept away though as so many stunning blog posts are popping everywhere. So here is an almost there, but not yet post, with cosy warm interiors by the talented Swedish photographer Anna Kern.

Winter walk

I am currently in the valleys of Norway enjoying the beautiful winter weather. Cold and crisp, with a layer of frost covering everything. Here are some images from the walk today.
