Today I like this home in Sweden, especially the combination of white with darker natural colors in that living room. And of course the spacious and airy bedroom with large windows!

Five Favorites For Friday
Some days ago I wrote that I’m waiting for snow. Well, now we got snow, lot’s of it to be honest. Maybe even too much in too little time and with too strong wind :) But it’s really beautiful outside and the Advent time will start with white ground! It gets me into the right mood and I’ll definitely do some Christmas preparations this weekend. Usually, I wait until the beginning of December and since it’s 1st of December tomorrow I have a green light to start!
What are your plans for the week-end? Have you done some Christmas stuff already or still waiting the holidays to come closer?

DIY advent calendar ideas
There are still some days left before the start of December, so if you take action right now there’s still plenty of time for making a beautiful and fun advent calendar for your family. I have seen many really clever and easy to make DIY advent calendars recently and thought to share some of my favorites with you! I hope you’ll get some inspiration :)

Four Favorites For Saturday
This week it’s Four Favorites for Saturday instead of Five Favorites for Friday :)
Here where I live it has been many misty, rainy and dark November days in a row and actually I don’t even remember when was the last time I saw the sun shining… maybe two weeks ago? I’m already waiting for the white and soft snow that would make it all fresh and light :) But until then candles, hot drinks, cozy blankets …
Have a lovely weekend dear readers!

Three lovely country kitchens
I have a thing for kitchens – every time I see a nice home online or in a magazine I’m especially interested in how the kitchen is decorated. And beautiful kitchen accessories are something I always like to admire (or sometimes even buy) when in an interior shop. And although I’m currently living in a modern apartment with a modern kitchen, charming and warm country kitchens are those most often catching my eye. Below are three beautiful kitchens I chose for today. I especially like the first one because of these little drawes – looks really lovely and so good for organizing! (which is something I also have a thing for… )

Stig Lindberg’s Eva
Some time ago these good looking and fun tea cups in white and red caught my eye. I did a little research and found out that these are designed by Stig Lindberg, one of the great designers in Scandinavia. The pattern in white and red is called “Eva”. Same pattern is also available in black and white and is named “Adam”.
Pretty or not? :)

Winter holidays in Ylva Skarp home
If you spend as much time looking at design blogs as I do you have probably already seen the gorgeous pictures of Christmas mood in designer and calligrapher Ylva Skarp home. Since I really like the cozy and simple look of this home I must share it also here :) I like how the nature feels surrounding the home feels present also inside the house. Interior is in calm tones, with white, grey and black as the base. Sheepskins, paper decorations, candles, pine cones and twigs make it feel cozy and ready for the winter holidays…

Light, spacious, modern
Hello, dear readers! It’s almost a week from my last post here… sorry about that, but it has been quite busy and also exciting time recently and this blog hasn’t got as much attention as it should have :)
But today I came across this modern, light and spacious home via La maison d’Anna G. and felt I want to share some of my favorite images of that house. To be honest, I think that this home is even little bit too spacious and modern to be my ideal home, but it still has many features I like. For example the corner in the living room with two chaise longues and a fireplace… perfect! :) And I like the overall relaxed look and the neutral color scheme of this house.

The home of By Nord designer and owner Hanne Berzant
Last evening I came across this beautiful home of Hanne Berzant, who is designer and owner of one of my favorite Danish design brands By Nord. I wrote about By Nord here.
Just as the By Nord design, this 280 m2 apartment is a perfect example of Nordic aesthetics – simple, clean look with natural colors and materials. I especially like the little bit rustic touch added to the interior by using some raw wooden pieces here and there. And of course, you can find many lovely items from By Nord collection in this home! Anything particular you like about this home? :)
