Pretty Christmas inspiration in white, pastel and gold

I'm working from a cafe today, the cold wind's howling outside and I'm all cosy and warm within. On days like this, when the winter's really set in I feel so Christmassy, how about you? I've been squirreling away lots of Scandinavian Christmas inspiration on Pinterest lately and thought I'd share some of it with you today. Now that I see it all together I notice a white theme (no surpise there!), simple branches and trees with a touch of pastel or gold. So pretty!

I feel like I need to run home and start decorating, how about you?!

What colour theme will you go for this Christmas?

More beautiful Christmas decorating inspiration here from Danish brand oisoioi and also don't miss wreath inspiration here (so beautiful that I've actually sent the link to my local florist who said she could make a few of the items for me!).

Have a lovely cosy day!

Swedish home in white. grey and brown

Good morning and hello December! I hope you had a lovely weekend? Today I love this cosy Swedish apartment decorated in grey, white and brown.

Stadshem

I think what makes this apartment so cosy are the slightly rougher white wood floor, the mix of cushions on the sofa, throws and sheepskin rugs as well as the warm brown accent colour.

I've never seen a vintage drinks trolley as a bed side table before have you? How cool. Perhaps I should move my mid-century one to my bedroom?!

I also love this stunning home in Oslo which also uses lots of brown - wow! What do you think?

Have a lovely day!

Snowy Aqua & Mint Mantel

Being December and all, I think it's time to officially welcome Christmas into my home! I'm doing different colors schemes in different areas of our house this year, and the dining room is getting decked out in aqua, mint, white, silver and gold. Love how our console table looks all dressed up!

The mint inspiration came from a new snowflake pillow that I paired with a white faux fur pillow inside our HomeGoods basket.

Since I recently made the "The most wonderful time of the year" art in a similar color, I decided to bring it into the room.

I used items I already had in my house, but included two new items from Hobby Lobby: the NOEL letters and the reindeer.

I considered painting the letters like I did for my LOVE art, but decided I liked them the way they were sold. The natural color balances out the bright aqua and mint.

The reindeer did get a coat of silver and gold spray paint. I also sprinkled silver glitter on him. You can find inexpensive reindeers here, here, here, here, and here.

Years ago, I bought a bunch of faux snow from Pottery Barn during an after-Christmas sale for just a couple of dollars and I reuse it year after year. It's one of my favorite discount buys.

Filling a large bowl with colorful ornaments is about the easiest way to add a festive decorative touch to your home. I like to add larger ornaments on the bottom, then layer in smaller ornaments to fill in the gaps. This mini tree is a favorite of mine because it's got gold tipped branches and a burlap wrapped base. I added in some snowflake ornaments for added bling.

I've had the silver lanterns for a couple of year now and really like the simple shape and how the door opens so I can fill them. It would probably be better if the top came off because it's a little tricky to get the ornaments and snow in then, quickly shut the door before it falls out!

Have you started your Christmas decorating yet? You can link up your mantels to our Holiday Cheer Link Party on Wednesday!
