A kitchen to love!
Tuesday November 30th, 2010 by in Interior

I’m always fascinated by gorgeous kitchens, and this kitchen is one of them! I have a thing for old wooden floors against a clean, simple white kitchen like this.
 How cool isn’t those pendant lamps hanging over the kitchen counter?
Gorgeous white!

I like how the black shelves make a great contrast against all the white. The same with the chairs underneath – lovely!
What color do you prefer to have your kitchen in?
Mine is definitely white. I prefer to have a bright kitchen with good working light.
Thank you for all the comments on the advent calendar post. It’s fun to hear your plans!

Advent calendar
Tuesday November 30th, 2010 by in Uncategorized

Tomorrow is the 1st of December and many of you are probably going to make a
advent calendar for your children or somebody else you care about. I’m not making a calendar myself this year, but I would like to show you these four calendar ideas for inspiration, because they are really cute.
 
Are you going to have a calendar this year? Have you made one/bought one yet?
Enjoy your last day of November!

DIY: Pinecone candle holder
Monday November 29th, 2010 by in DIY

Hello everybody! Let’s start this week with something creative. Last week I promised you that I would show you some other ways to decorate with pinecones, and this candle holder is one of them…

I glued pinecones on some cardboard with a glue gun, and within few minutes I had a new candle holder for Christmas.
I actually used the back of a Starbucks sleeve that I had, so don’t be afraid to use your imagination if you don’t have the exact thing you need.
( Remember: Candles require attention – all the time!  )
Have you tried anything like this before or made anything else out of pinecones?

Wish you all a great new week!

Our Thanksgiving table
Saturday November 27th, 2010 by in Interior

Hello everybody! How is your weekend so far? I have a cold going these days that I can’t seem to get rid of, but I hope I’ll get better soon.
I promised you that I would show you some pictures from our Thanksgiving dinner that we had on Thursday, and here they are…
 We were invited to some friends that live in a beautiful house here in LA. I helped my friend Sarah with the cooking, so now I know how to make Thanksgiving dinner. I was also in charge of the table setting, which I love to do.
 I made “Thank you” tags that I put on every napkin and I attached straw on the candle blocks.
I also brought my artificial spruce-garland which I put on the table.
They already had some flowers, which is always a nice way to add some colors to the table and the room. They matched nicely with the chairs as well.
I didn’t want to decorate the table too much since we were having a lot of food. 
Sometimes less is more *smile*
 The table was so nice when we got all the food there, but since it was very dark it was difficult to take good pictures as I don’t have a flash. But this picture underneath wasn’t that bad.
I was so full after all the delicious food and awesome pumpkin pie – you can’t even imagine! 
A great day with good friends!
