It’s Friday, friends! Which means it’s time to prepare for some serious ‘you time’, get pampered and soak in R&R moments with every cell of yours. I mean not that my weekend will be filled with much of the aforementioned (not much time for that, ha ha!), but I love to visualize it :)
What will you be doing this weekend?
So you can totally spice up the room you think needs to be freshened up a bit. Insane? Oh yes. Unique? Heck yes! There’s just one picture I’m sharing with you, but it so left me speechless, so I had to. Imagine the decorating possibilities if you would actually have a tree in your dining room! Not to mention how thrilled your kids would be about their possibilities. All in all, it’s a win-win situation, you know what I mean? Ok, so maybe the idea is too crazy to be brought to life, but just imagine…
Since last year I also posted about a Scandinavian Christmas I thought I would make of it a tradition and bring a bit of Scandinavian in your life every year. This year is a bunch of pictures to inspire you to have your own Scandinavian inspired Christmas, no matter where you are. I know I’d LOVE this year the Scandinavian Christmas tree, which is so much different than trees you can see in the States or Europe: with few decorations, with twinkle lights, in a bucket – these are the main details a Scandinavian Christmas tree shows off. Oh and don’t forget about the (faux) fur – it’s quite an important part of a Scandi inspired home decor (and not only for Christmas), right?
Have you ever wondered what would be like to go bold regarding wallpapers in your home? And I mean like real bold: pattern madness, hypnotizing mixes, perhaps exaggerated amount of it? I doubt I’d be able to be so brave as of having a room which makes it hard for your eyes to stay opened (nor would I want to, if we’re at it), but I do admire people who have the guts to apply wallpapers on all four walls plus the ceiling (crazy, right?). Or people who are obsessed with stripes and so there are many stripes around their homes.
Would you or would you not go bold with your wallpaper choice?
There’s no more relevant symbol of Christmas than the twinkle lights, right? They’re absolutely magical and breathtaking! On this Christmas-y note I wish you a wonderful Monday and a great week!
Twinkle, twinkle little star…
Hello, sweets! Are you having a relaxing Saturday? I sure am, cozied up in bed with my laptop, warm under a cover and inspired big time! Inspired to be better, happier, more understanding and inspired to smile more (new year’s resolutions perhaps?). What are you inspired to do today?
I have to say it wouldn’t be the same without the ‘warm under a cover’ part, I’m obsessed with staying warm and hate it when I’m cold. Seriously, there’s no worse feeling for me. That’s why I’m dreaming today about fireplaces of all kind – they totally change a room making it more inviting and home-y.
Well, I guess the title said it all – I’m now sharing with you a home located in Sweden, Scandinavian to the core with pops of bright colors and vintage accessories (after all the owner, Leah, is a vintage furniture shop owner – is that a dream job or what?). Aaand Leah’s favorite color is yellow (which dominates throughout the house) – can I move in?
With the hectic couple of months I’ve had by far, the only thing on my mind is a getaway, so I suggest we all pack our stuff and head for a winter adventure – a getaway where we get to stay in a cabin, where there is a warm fireplace, fur all around, hot cocoa, stacks of magazines and books and all the other things your heart falls for :). I for one feel totally mesmerized by the beauty of the nature when I’m in the middle of the wilderness during the winter, so there’s not much I need besides that, but I won’t refuse all of the above. And to make it complete, here’s the visual treat of this post:
Don’t know how about you, guys, but I think Christmas tree hunting is just as exciting as Christmas tree decorating is! It’s some sort of ritual that helps us get in the holiday mood and it definitely can be fun and memorable especially when you share it with loved ones. That’s why the pictures I came across recently were just too cute to be ignored!
P.S. How does tree hunting look in your family? Do you all get involved?
The holidays are just around the corner therefore it’s the perfect time to look for pretty paper goodies and get busy with sending Christmas cards (are you sending them this year, by the way?). I find handwritten cards ridiculously darling and timeless – better than any gift! And I fell for the goodies offered by Darling Clementine (I bet you know them, right?) – real heartmelters! They have cards, notebooks, trays, pillows and everything looks gorgeous! Take a look, you might get an idea or two :)
