Christmas Table setting

Popping by to show you a wintery table setting I did last year. Maybe you are having some friends or family over for dinner this weekend and are in need of some table setting ideas? Here I have used wallpaper as tablecloths together with some small vases I found at the second-hand shop. Simple, but yet decorative…

You´ll find a lot of inspiration under Table setting on Stylizimo.com as well.

Enjoy the rest of your Saturday!

Copenhagen has an endless list of great shops, but one that´s really worth visiting is Designer Zoo in Vesterbrogade 137. Designer Zoo is a concept of Danish craft and design that offers a 1000 m2 design shop and gallery with changing exhibitions.They have a very unique and varied selection of Danish design, craft and art products created by their seven in-house designers and of 20-40 invited designers – a great place to go Christmas shopping in other words!

ShelvingI have started removing stuff in our living room so we can have more room for our Christmas decorations. It feels a bit empty, but it´s nice to start with a blank canvas…

Årets farge 2014

Yesterday Fargerike announced the color of year for 2014, and I´m thrilled over that it´s “Bluegreen” – the combination of Norwegian’s two favorite colors, blue and green. We are talking beautiful shades such as pale aquamarine, to dark petroleum – so, so likeable!

All shades are inspired by the Norwegian nature, and works perfectly in the northern light conditions, also as a base color. The advantage of this color is that it can be combined with almost any other color, so it should be really easy to work with! Maybe it´s time to do something about those white walls?

The color on the chopping board is called Alice FR140 – lovely, right? We all got it in our press kit yesterday, and I had to try it right away!

So what do you think? Are shades of bluegreen something you would like to have in your home or on your walls? I certainly would, I just have to decide on what shade I want, and which room to start with *smile*!

Christmas_dining roomChristmas roseThe best thing about Christmas is all the beautiful flowers! Christmas rose, hyacinths, amaryllis and cute little Christmas trees. I actually had to buy them all this weekend, as I like to start the Christmas decorating a bit early… I bought some green moss as well as I like to cover the soil, and to make it more decorative.

Have you started decorating for Christmas yet, or do you think it´s to early?
