A Light and Bright Scandinavian Apartment

Looking at this bright and airy Scandinavian apartment, I am inspired to follow through with my Spring cleaning.  I love the simplistic approach to the decor, yet it's all so inviting.

 

It finally feels like Spring around here and I couldn't be happier! xx

Simple Christmas Touches in Denmark

This home in Holte, Denmark has a very tranquil color palette. The homeowners simple approach to Christmas decor complements that palette beautifully. I love the nature elements they incorporated too! Simply beautiful!

Today is the last day of school and the boys will officially be on Christmas break. Only 5 more days to go until Christmas! xx

11 Cozy Scandinavian Bedrooms that Make You Want to Stay in Bed

It's no secret that I am a color lover and that my bedroom is quite the opposite of these Scandinavian bedrooms that I am about to feature. However, while Scandinavian designs tend not to incorporate much color, they are big on layering, and adding textures with their accessories. Now those similarities are also present in my own bedroom and other designs and they are the reason I find Scandinavian design so appealing. Though neutral, the design is not cold.

These bedrooms embody cozy and one would find it extremely hard to get out of bed...

With some of us engulfed in snow and some of us experiencing unusually cold temperatures, staying in bed a little longer this weekend is a great idea! The weather can't seem to make up its mind- one day it's nice and warm and the next it's snowing or very cold...

Have a great weekend everyone and stay warm! xx

A Swedish Home with Subtle and Delightful Holiday Decor.

You know I love color, BUT, i still have a weakness for Scandinavian design and decorating. I love the simplicity, and that it still oozes cozy. I spotted this beautiful home on Carina's blog(one of the photographers who captured the home). Located in Vetlanda, Southern Sweden, the home decked out for Christmas is a delight to behold. Come on in and take a peek...

Such a delight, right? Simply beautiful. xx

Scandinavian country home.

I love the easy going feel of this home. It feels lived in and the furniture pieces 

are not “stand offish.” They beckon you to sit on them and not just admire from a distance:-). 

Although, quite neutral, don’t you just love the  contrast that’s created from the dash of colour in the accessories, furniture etc? There is also a mix of textures which add to this beautiful home’s appeal.

Look at all the thriving rosemary in the pots. I use rosemary in almost all my

 meat seasoning/cooking. It adds such a nice flavour! Also, don’t you just love the smell?
