To the man who has it all………………..

Today I was enriched with three totally new (to me) web stores that just hit my mood of shopping today. All 3 shops have great items for the home but actually most important they have really really cool gift ideas for the man you never know what to get, either cause he has it all or because he never can give you a straight answer what he wishes for x-mas, birthdays etc. Well I got inspired and just want to say: “from me to you………….”

 

Go check them out they have so many cool and different items on their lists, happy shopping

Decor spirit…………..

Yes I did it! I have startet getting ready for the big night……….Christmas eve. Little things but huge steps……………

 

I really enjoy putting out the little things here and there and actually think this will (almost) be it this year, well except for the tree which will come inside on the morning of the 24th, always have and always will.

Enjoy your spirit time?

Rustic in the french Alps……………….

Oh my god! When I first saw this It looked like some old forgotten barn, but looking closer this is so cool and thought through that I want to live here! Well during Christmas break anyway…….. I love the work that interior designer Lionel Jadot has done here. The mix of the old meets new meeting vintage is unreal. The fireplace invites you to sit down and enjoy your vin chaud while the kids are playing around in this huge living area/family room. The kitchen is so unexpected, fun but cool that I really got inspired. So lets sit back and enjoy the peace and quit in this joint……ps can see all my new x-mas decor hanging here………….

White christmas……….

Hopefully we will have a white Christmas here………..the snow is hitting us hard these days and chaos on the roads is a fact, but nevertheless it is fantastic, if we again, are so fortunate to celebrate the big day dressed all in white. The whiteness of this holiday just makes it more original. I found some white decor for the tree that I will decorate mine with this year. The first items are from a British-Japanese designer Reiki Kaneko who makes beautiful china. Her collections are often produced by combining 3D modeling programmes with centuries-old expertise from makers in Stoke-on-Trent, England. I love her work and you should check it out at her website if you are looking for newies, but I specifically fell hard for her Christmas decor that has a bit of humor, naivety and fun to it.

Another supplier that I personally like and often end up shopping stuff from is the Housedoctor company. They offer a wide range for your home including furniture, their prices are absolutely affordable and they follow the main trends and always up to date…………

More stuff for you guys if, you like me, get overwhelmed and have a tendency to go overboard in december decor. The company Walther & co launched their december catalogue and I love these photos which inspire me and can be helpful to keep the fine line…………..Happy decorating

Still preparing…………….

Remember one of my old time favorite brands OiSoioi? Well during my attempt (all day) trying to get through my to do list I kept coming back to the computer……..and I have figured out why, I want to and need to start decorating actually I found out that I am 4 days late! I usually get hit by the x-mas spirit around end November and hold my horses until the 1. of December. I love x-mas and pulling out my boxes (yep have a lot of them by now) with decor for this time a year is soooooo joyful. I put out everything and then some and by mid December I feel like throwing up! I get sick of the clutter of branches, stars, lights, bones, deer and what ever has found its way into my house for the holidays! I know, maybe it is not normal but that is me and I can promise you that by the 26th of December everything has bee taken down and the tree is out the window (literally speaking) x-mas is over……………..Don´t get me wrong I love Christmas just not all the clutter that I every year get smitten by cause I love it but maybe just in small doses…………..Anyway I got really inspired by my fav. brands catalog  for christmas

Like it? Check out their web shop OiSoioi and purchase your decor or just get inspired………..

Preparation………

It is a lovely time this December month, that is if you have the time to actually relax a little, bake a little, spend quality time with the family, walks in the woods, play in the snow and finally just have the famous vin chaud, do x-mas deco and wrap presents. I will do my best this year to really fit in all these wonderful things………………Today I am really not in the mood to work and keep postponing the to do list for today. I keep going back to the window looking out at this amazing white world, snow falling slowly, listening to the fireplace chewing through wood, enjoying the smell of freshly brewed coffee……..anyway I found these photos on Lantliv and I just love the simple way this family is enjoying the preparations for christmas. Kind of like how I feel today, cool, calm and collected
