Tuesday DIY: Neon Christmas decorations

With the winter stolsis only two days away, it's soooo dark here in Sweden. And there's nothing like neon themed Christmas decorations to brighten things up. If you click through to Sania Pell and Purl Bee you'll find some great instructions on how to make some of these fab neon decoations yourself (if you still have the time!). Happy DIY!

Illuminate me here - are you a 'neon forever' type? Or is it more something you'd love to see....in someone elses home?!

Pretty Christmas decorating with winter branches

It really is cold here this afternoon. BRRR! I think that's why I was drawn to these lovely white Christmas images. I love the branches with presents, 'pepparkaka' (ginger biscuits), fairy lights. stars and baubles. So pretty! My little three year old made a ginger biscuit house this year.  I really love it, it's all hickeldy pickeldy!

Psssst! If you would like to make a ginger biscuit house but don't have the time to make it from scratch you can pick up a kit from IKEA!  You can also pick up pretty heart ginger biscuits to decorate with white icing. Perfect cheat!

Cosy wood home all decked out for Christmas

 Morning! It's Friday, yaaaay! This home intrigues me. It's not my usual style but there's something about all the mis-matching wood that just works, and creates such a cosy feel. And the Christmas tree is just fantastic don't you think?! DIY project for the weekend perhaps?

PS Masking tape is slowly taking over our homes but I've yet to see it in the form of 'Merry Xmas'. Clever idea....

Last minute Christmas tree

Guests arriving tomorrow and you don't have a tree?!

Hanging around at Christmas

Hej hej! Slowly but surely I've been unpacking my Christmas boxes and dangling decorations around the house. These lovely pics show that you don't need much to create a lovely Christmas feel. Especially the heart lights - so romantic despite the cold, Brrrrrrr!

If you're dreaming about how to make your guests feel welcome this Christmas, how about these ice lanterns? All you need is a couple of buckets, some water, pretty olive tree branches and sub zero temperatures. Beautiful! And oh so simple. Instructions here from the wonderful blog Design Sponge.

Monday DIY- pallet table

I like this whole Christmas display. Most of the items are from IKEA. But the pallet table was the piece that really caught my eye. SUCH a great DIY project. Find a large wooden pallet, paint white and attach wheels, simple and yet cool industrial. Where's my tool kit....

Christmas DIY: Advent calendar

In need of a project this evening? I thought I'd share this lovely Christmas advent calendar from Norwegian blog Design Hund. Such a great DIY project and so pretty that you almost wouldn't want your children / man / nan / pet cat to open the pressies each day?!

I see Stylizimo has also posted a great home made advent calendar if you're looking for more inspiration this evening, click here. Have a lovely night and if you do make your own advent calendar we'd love to see it! Vi ses imorgon / see you tomorrow! Kram!

Danish clothes designer's home at Christmas

Oooo, what a lovely way to start the day by looking at the home of Danish clothes designer Kathrin Hviid from Bo Bedre. I love all the colourful Christmas decorations against the white backdrop.


This Christmas tree is standing in a pot from Fil de Fer

I love the Papillon lamp over the kitchen table which is from Design by Us



Off for my obligatory morning latté but back in a bit with a little more Danish Christmas inspiration! So pop back and see me!
