Pretty Christmas inspiration in white, pastel and gold

I'm working from a cafe today, the cold wind's howling outside and I'm all cosy and warm within. On days like this, when the winter's really set in I feel so Christmassy, how about you? I've been squirreling away lots of Scandinavian Christmas inspiration on Pinterest lately and thought I'd share some of it with you today. Now that I see it all together I notice a white theme (no surpise there!), simple branches and trees with a touch of pastel or gold. So pretty!

I feel like I need to run home and start decorating, how about you?!

What colour theme will you go for this Christmas?

More beautiful Christmas decorating inspiration here from Danish brand oisoioi and also don't miss wreath inspiration here (so beautiful that I've actually sent the link to my local florist who said she could make a few of the items for me!).

Have a lovely cosy day!

Swedish home in white. grey and brown

Good morning and hello December! I hope you had a lovely weekend? Today I love this cosy Swedish apartment decorated in grey, white and brown.

I think what makes this apartment so cosy are the slightly rougher white wood floor, the mix of cushions on the sofa, throws and sheepskin rugs as well as the warm brown accent colour.

I've never seen a vintage drinks trolley as a bed side table before have you? How cool. Perhaps I should move my mid-century one to my bedroom?!

I also love this stunning home in Oslo which also uses lots of brown - wow! What do you think?

Have a lovely day!

A Skåne sitting room beautifully decorated for Christmas

Since many of us will be celebrating the first weekend of advent over a glass of steaming glögg this weekend it's time for a little more Christmas inspiration. These lovely pictures are from the sitting room of the talented and inspiring Swedish blogger Anna-Malin of Helt Enkelt blog from here in Skåne. I love the way she's styled her sitting room for Chrsitmas it looks so pretty and cosy don't you think?

I love the mini Christmas trees that are trending this year. I've started to dot a few Christmas decorations around our home but we won't head out to the forest to chop down a tree for a few weeks yet. When will you start decorating (if you celebrate Christmas that is :)?
