Georg Jensen is in da house

I am a little bit obsessed over those wonderful Danish Christmas ornaments. I have been collecting them for a while and I love them. It's always fun to put them up!

Ever since we built the seasonal room in the back I have hung them up there. When I designed the room I made sure there were lots of windows because I knew that would be their new home...

The room is very Scandinavian. 

The ceiling is pine covered and it has that "Hytte" feel to it so I try to put my Nordic decorations in there as much as I can...Here are few photos of the rest of the room

What do you think? Feel like you are at Ikea?

Have a lovely day

Holiday spirit in the dining room

This is my favorite Christmas decoration...like EVER!
It's special to me because it's made by my Mom...She gave it to me when I was living in Watertown MA in 1995. She and Dad visited that Christmas along with my lil sis and her baby boy. Sweet memories indeed!

Have you started decorating?

Bedroom Reveal

The time has come for the big bedroom reveal...If you have followed my little blog you know what I am talking about...Previous post click HERE

First of all we wanted to get rid of the carpet in the bedroom suite and preferably putting hard wood floor in. I didn't want the pergo or the vinyl...I wanted to match the rest of the house even though it took more time, work and money. We actually had to vacate the house for 2 days because the smell was so bad. Here are some before pictures showing you the rooms with the carpet still intact...(of course I forgot to photograph the bedroom with furniture still in them- I am always in a rush)

Then the new furniture arrived... and my oh my how much fun that was!

I love the piece I chose...

So at this point we are ALMOST done...always few little pieces here and there... The room adjacent to the bedroom (the one we work out in) got new floors too and the walk in closets. However at this point I am not ready to post that room quite yet...why? because the closets are not up and running...so we have clothes and shoes all over the place until the closets get's installed in five days (Yup I am counting the days)  In the meantime I wanted to show you my bedroom...the one I always wanted with that "hotel" feel to it...I think I succeeded. What do you think?

Have a wonderful Sunday

Thanksgiving Tablescapes

I am not hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year but I am contributing. I am in charge of making the pecan pies, sweet potatoes, and butternut squash dish that I always make. I am helping with the table setting as well...bringing few of my personal centerpieces over and helping with arrangements.
I was looking for some ideas online and man there is so much out there...Here's what I liked:

Notice the tablecloth...A wider type of a runner

 Very neutral and classy

I like how the tied the tablecloth at the end

 That's pretty fancy!

I don't have a sweet tooth but I love how this cake is presented....very glam
