Starka kontraster och designklassiker
Ett härligt kök med stora kontraster i mörkt och ljust med just orange som accent. Jag gillar inslagen av moderna designklassiker som Stringhyllan och sextiotalsstolarna i vit plast. Bilder från Alvhem, via Room & Serve.
Hemtrevligt med vit bas
Mörka möbler och detaljer blir otroligt iögonfallande med vit som bas. Det här hemmet från Köpenhamn har mörka möbler, bohemiska detaljer hemtrevliga sköna textilier. Bilder Sköna Hem.
Welcome to the WhisperWood Cottage Stop on the "Christmas in Bloggyland Tour"!
Welcome to the "Christmas in Bloggyland Tour" hosted by Cynthia @ Muse Swings. I just found Cynthia's blog yesterday through the SITS (The Secret is in the Sauce) blog hosted by Heather & Tiffany. If you are not a SITSTA and/or don't know what that it means, click here to read about becoming part of the Sitstahood!
BEFORE WE BEGIN...
LET'S GET THIS TOUR STARTED...
What do you do with an old decrepit sled? Make a seasonal coffee table, of course! I simply used the glass from my usual coffee table.
Add some candlelight, a Mexican sugar mold, a vintage letter game, a vintage Christmas tree stand candleholder, and glittering silver and glass pieces to set the mood...
The sled has a broken handle? Great! Now we have a new candleholder...
The authentic Mexican sugar mold, bought at the flea market in downtown San Antonio, takes center stage in this setting. Now, how did I get those tea lights to sit up so high? I filled the cone-shaped openings with gravel from the driveway! Shhhhhh!
One of my favorite shots...(Can you tell I like to be creative with my camera, too? I try anyway!)
The ski display...all finds from this summer! I started with the metal container from an estate sale. It is marked U.S.F.S in red letters. It stands for U.S. Forest Service. Add the two pairs of wooden skis from another estate sale and the vintage wooden ski poles from yet a third estate sale. The wool blanket is from Sweet Salvage in Buffalo, MN, and the matching wool pillow was from the Junk Bonanza (I picked them up at separate locations on the same weekend! It was meant to be!). The four red and green camping canteens and mess kits were free from my parents' basement just last weekend!
The mantle includes a mirror picked up at a garage sale the first year we were married. The garland was another freebie from my mom. See those pointsettia flowers? They are felt napkin ring holders I made when I was a young child. So simple compared to the detailed handiwork on the three stockings made lovingly by my grandmother! One for RJNJ, one for me (the big one in the middle...I must have been good this year), and one for TDOG.
Here is another of my favorite pieces because it was hand-painted by my grandmother. This ceramic Santa takes the spotlight in the cylindrical lamp base.
RJNJ's mother buys him one of these ornaments every year. Here they are displayed as a collection...
The tablescape...
Up close, you'll notice a vintage Christmas tree stand in the center holding the kissing ball, a house jack used as a candleholder on the left, and a car jack stand as a candleholder on the right.
And, last but not least, the reason for the season...
IF YOU STILL CAN'T GET ENOUGH...

The White Party
Det är väl inte bara P Diddy som ska få lov att ha vita fester. Det är en kul idé att välja en färg som tema och det kan bli riktigt snyggt med allting i vitt. Kanske något att fundera på till nyår eller någon annan av säsongens fester. Bilder från Gemma Comas.
Lite ljus i mörkret
Idag är det Lucia och behovet av att lysa upp vårt mörka land känns stort. Låt vackra ljusstakar och lyktor i olika former och grupperingar lysa upp ditt hem. Bilder från Tine K.
