Slow start on Christmas

Every year around the time when people start fretting about the days getting shorter I actually come to life! I love the darker days and get "busy" cuddling up with a blanket and a good book or start nest building and making some seasonal changes to our home.  Candles on the table at all meal times become the norm and is part of what makes this season special.  I might make a subtle start on decorating for Christmas and often find that the first decorations going up stay out a few weeks into January making a nice slow transition to life after Christmas.

DIY tip: Have a go at wall decorations

With the build of my home office now complete I am constantly on the lookout for new ideas and inspiration on decorating. Faced with three white walls I do need to get cracking! L o v i n g  this gorgeous butterfly tree and seriously considering giving it a  go!

This DIY tip is truly the stoke of a genius and comes via  Stylizimo where the full instructions can be found.

If you love it frame it!

I'm someone who isn't very good at displaying family photos! Guess I didn't want my home looking too old school. But heavily inspired by these family walls I might start framing my family too!

Shop of the week "Designer Zoo" Copenhagen

Designer Zoo is the brainchild of eight young Danish designers and is located on Vesterbrogade which is a very cool area in the middle of Copenhagen. The Zoo has got a definite creative wipe and is so much more than just a shop! It is the place I always check out whenever I'm in Copenhagen and I love browsing and soaking up the atmosphere. It effortlessly functions as a design gallery and houses eight workshops under the same roof. You are able to buy a very diverse selection of Danish design, craft and art products, created by the house's own designers but also work by 20 invited designers. I think the Designer Zoo is a dynamic exhibition space that reflects some of the best Danish designs today.
