A beautiful Danish farmhouse ready for Christmas

Happy Friday! I have to say, I'm so incredibly excited about today's post. I know it's early, but I couldn't help getting just a teeny bit festive when I spotted this oh so beautiful farmhouse in North Zealand, Denmark all decked out for Christmas. The property dates back to the 1900's and is home to Christina Kattrup Schrøder, a journalist, stylist, and co-owner of online shop Have A look (selling fab Danish design reading glasses), her husband Per Vilhelm Schrøder, a flight operations manager and their sons. The cosy space features wood beams, a fireplace, one huge sofa to snuggle up in and a mix of antique and Scandinavian design items - what a lovely setting for Christmas, don't you think?

The Danes really do know how to decorate in style, don't you think? The festive touches in this home are simple and subtle yet so pretty!

Is there anything that stands out to you? 

Judging by the style of Christina's home it's no surprise the reading glasses at Have A look are also fab. The good news is they have both a Danish and Swedish online shop and also ship worldwide! I'm so getting the man a pair for Christmas!

Before I head off for the weekend, here's my round-up of links I love from the web this week:

I can't wait to get my hands on 'Inward - a Scandinavian Winter Guide'.

Beautiful DIY festive wreath inspiration as well as a lovely, simple christmas table and festive table display.

How have I managed without this dodge and burn photo technique?

I'd really like a rug like the one in this fab bedroom.

This colourful sitting room makes me want to add a touch to my own.

That's it from me! But feel free to leave your own tips in the comment section below, I'd love to hear from you.

Have a wonderful weekend and see you Monday!

A day at a snowy log cabin / DIY Christmas ideas

Hello! How are you today? I have to say I'm feeling a little worse for wear after an evening out with the girls last night (totally self-inflicted I admit!). It's slow mornings like this when I dream of spending the day hiding out at a log cabin. In fact, If I could choose,  my day would look a lot like this. Fancy joining me?!

Sooooo cosy!  

In case you're wondering...here's the recipe for the hot chocolate with chocolate dipped cinamon marshmallows.  All the bedding in the last picture is available here. See a full tour of that stunning Italian Osteria wedding (how pretty?). There's a great DIY guide to the wreath.

Lots more pretty Christmas / winter inspiration here. 

Oh, and how cute are these mini Nordic Christmas tree mobiles? They come in a cool little 3D DIY kit...

So pretty and simple - the perfect DIY to create together with your little ones (alongside these 'pepparkaka' or ginger biscuit ideas - I can smell the cinnamon from here!), don't you think?

How would your ideal day look?

Have a lovely day, I'll be back tomorrow with a full house tour again!

PS Happy Thanksgiving to all of you heading off for a long weekend...
