A cosy Danish cabin ready for Christmas

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Hello! I hope you had a fabulous weekend?! I thought I'd kick off the week with another extremely cosy log cabin, this time in Klampingborg, Denmark (did you miss the <a href="http://www.329db.blogspot.fr/2014/12/the-rustic-norwegian-log-cabin-hide-away.html" target="_blank">previous one</a>?).  This oh so lovely retreat belongs to Jeanette Hyleborg of webshop <a href="https://www.bestofnordic.dk/shop/frontpage.html" target="_blank">Best of Nordic</a> and blog <a href="http://voksenlivsstil.dk/" target="_blank">Voksenlivsstil</a> and her director husband Sten.  I love the irregular tree which has been decorated with mirrored hearts, stars and snowflakes and I'll be taking inspiration from their Christmas table - the fir cones and roses in moss make for a beautiful mix, don't you think? I could spend my Christmas holidays relaxing here, how about you?!<br /><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;

A Norwegian home at Christmas

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Those of you who have followed my blog for a while (<i>thank you, you're lovely</i>!) know I'm a big fan of the work of Norwegian based photographer and stylist <a href="http://elisabethheier.blogspot.se/" target="_blank">Elisabeth Heier</a> and her beautiful home which I've previously shown snippets of  <a href="http://www.329db.blogspot.se/2013/08/the-lovely-new-home-of-elisabeth-heier.html" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://www.329db.blogspot.se/2014/08/the-perfect-norwegian-home-for-summers.html" target="_blank">here</a>. It comes as no surprise that her Christmas decorating is equally as lovely and follows her simple, pared-back and elegant take on Scandinavian interior decorating.

A cosy Swedish cottage ready for Christmas

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Hello! I hope you had a fabulous weekend?! Anyone in need of a cosy winter retreat?! If so, I have just the place! This lovely Swedish cottage in the snow is owned by Katarina Drevenlid, her two cats and pet dog. It's been decorated for Christmas using simple creative ideas which draw on the surrounding nature. Look closely and you'll see a star made of moss, pinecones in jars or strung together to create a pretty festive garland, sprigs of pine in a glass vase and a mini Christmas tree emerging from a demijohn. In Sweden it's also common to use fir tree branches as a makeshift doormat to wipe away excess snow from winter boots. Add a roaring fire, and a modern Christmas tree made from washi-tape or string and you're all set to go!<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6jNOMtX4vLA_yPVyBrmZ7zsfdPN-F9LnsaEOvUB9eruMuAOASXBemgimocWv1jJEwh8ERV3QpEwIdWoZXSqUi0loBPDboT8VTcnEZVGLpdrkgenY3LxWaw1i3-QSUBTkyzAfU89uyav3C/s1600/christmas1c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Rustic Scandinavian Christmas inspiration

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This year I love the rustic, pared-back holiday feel. It's all about Christmas trees in glass vases, pared-back branches, pine cones and sheepskin throws. Add to that the rich aroma of piping hot buttered fig and rosemary cider, fresh pine, and cinnamon and I'm well on my way to a cosy rustic Scandinavian Christmas.

A danish home at Christmas

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">The Danes are famous for their beautiful Christmas decorations. Have you ever walked through Nyhavn in Copenhagen at Christmas? The quayside is transformed into a winter wonderland and festooned with fairy lights and fir tree branches. Christmas market stalls line the quay and the aroma of roasted chestnuts, almonds and glogg (mulled wine) fills the air. This danish home is a fine example of how beautifully Danes decorate for Christmas. Every single room has a touch of the festive spirit, even the bathroom and I love the rustic festive feel.<br /><div><br /><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Christmas touches in a Finnish home

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">When do you start putting up your Christmas decorations? I've already added a few touches to <a href="http://www.329db.blogspot.se/search/label/my%20home" target="_blank">my home</a> including white amaryllis and hyacinths (I love the scent) as well as a few lit candles at breakfast and as soon as it gets dark at 15.30 (yes,<i> I know</i>!). This lovely, warm Finnish home is a perfect example of late November / early December Christmas decorating. It's the Helsinki pad of Kaisa, her partner, and cat Mr Paw (who can be seen making himself at home on the sofa). Kaisa is a dab hand at DIY (as you can see on her blog <a href="http://nohomewithoutyou.com/" target="_blank">No Home Without You</a>) and loves Scandinavian interiors and crafts. This is reflected in the way she has decorated her space - I particularly love the fairylights display, plants and bunting. How about you?<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEkmukM0aNy31TkaTguraux0sHkwMzFSvqnCotzUPe8OVVWA0lCQBK1mXOoXOBexiq64DdL6Fa6AjK5CIIrhPJH_Dn3Wlf77Lf4yjn9zx4f_w-kxqd9flMzBV4pFC4yQiBEsUlmnmO1U3N/s1600/fin1d.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEkmukM0aNy31TkaTguraux0sHkwMzFSvqnCotzUPe8OVVWA0lCQBK1mXOoXOBexiq64DdL6Fa6AjK5CIIrhPJH_Dn3Wlf77Lf4yjn9zx4f_w-kxqd9flMzBV4pFC4yQiBEsUlmnmO1U3N/s1600/fin1d.png" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKp2Tq8xrk-iKK_BT1pePVbSdOiEQnXa2avyfUPgVlhff4QswX62nDJsntqG6QU1MJMYB2ud6KiMsymtm6n-Fk9pY0Pdwx_rPMkgxijws7-XOf3mx0zFTku4NRASmYVMtELVERmfNIJFR2/s1600/fin1e.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKp2Tq8xrk-iKK_BT1pePVbSdOiEQnXa2avyfUPgVlhff4QswX62nDJsntqG6QU1MJMYB2ud6KiMsymtm6n-Fk9pY0Pdwx_rPMkgxijws7-XOf3mx0zFTku4NRASmYVMtELVERmfNIJFR2/s1600/fin1e.png" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheWwaFI1b5jLtGVRxpYi6NxgCP8-sDCEoOTZm_sxavz3bQdHFXI11OzTQxLoP9MbvOH-5ySD3MbrrXH6TrbXNyl3YKDA-K2T7xQwQatCpkTOccGOGVOCAzJE6zq9nUcdhtgsKHbsTmhSnL/s1600/fin1b.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheWwaFI1b5jLtGVRxpYi6NxgCP8-sDCEoOTZm_sxavz3bQdHFXI11OzTQxLoP9MbvOH-5ySD3MbrrXH6TrbXNyl3YKDA-K2T7xQwQatCpkTOccGOGVOCAzJE6zq9nUcdhtgsKHbsTmhSnL/s1600/fin1b.png" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB6rCvQcaXRpzgtAh1WHiu5MGqU3A3_EMc1WTyXULL6fSTgt87QQvD1DkFNYF4ZEMvhw6BKaMDFIYBcjxuQ8mihXLhDj9CzhKOWhRZp1opK_nTVHr3jb9cuyO_i36eNOt6potqEmTvPBOt/s1600/fin1c.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB6rCvQcaXRpzgtAh1WHiu5MGqU3A3_EMc1WTyXULL6fSTgt87QQvD1DkFNYF4ZEMvhw6BKaMDFIYBcjxuQ8mihXLhDj9CzhKOWhRZp1opK_nTVHr3jb9cuyO_i36eNOt6potqEmTvPBOt/s1600/fin1c.png" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFf3SsCksnaKcZpWs5OI2MXwYi0j-BvIlgJI2h-eeYnx8lo8us6s0fpZRdMsOB-D7YYG6uV8_Y64mUyjQI3puSDnpXJ5aHcuECtzsS7Q1djuxLLS8WPJ1pr268Rb1-8fEAGsafr5u_VBm9/s1600/fin1a.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFf3SsCksnaKcZpWs5OI2MXwYi0j-BvIlgJI2h-eeYnx8lo8us6s0fpZRdMsOB-D7YYG6uV8_Y64mUyjQI3puSDnpXJ5aHcuECtzsS7Q1djuxLLS8WPJ1pr268Rb1-8fEAGsafr5u_VBm9/s1600/fin1a.png" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAhY2BrPa8KzbClEpK1IumAZnZesXf0VICWVjqmvIu15muQslnT6O4IpMIk5MlvqYELyioRc9QlNPXDr1S7JNQxf49Vc_ptmaIMx9iDcut8C8bD_MvV0fn7klYIrmrmVVysHth6lwcB3U1/s1600/fin1g.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAhY2BrPa8KzbClEpK1IumAZnZesXf0VICWVjqmvIu15muQslnT6O4IpMIk5MlvqYELyioRc9QlNPXDr1S7JNQxf49Vc_ptmaIMx9iDcut8C8bD_MvV0fn7klYIrmrmVVysHth6lwcB3U1/s1600/fin1g.png" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2vy72J6kD_7MQx6bu8WSdniw6587bVjMUlirVPbmVgcRIi9vEAD0JMXlq3wa1V7bvDlTxrHToi-mn8hSnGIuzmIVQszYWLqB7eFzVk5lWscVgOX5GpLB6Nx3xIYDj8U2Rmt3COKgh-eLi/s1600/fin1f.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2vy72J6kD_7MQx6bu8WSdniw6587bVjMUlirVPbmVgcRIi9vEAD0JMXlq3wa1V7bvDlTxrHToi-mn8hSnGIuzmIVQszYWLqB7eFzVk5lWscVgOX5GpLB6Nx3xIYDj8U2Rmt3COKgh-eLi/s1600/fin1f.png" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://nohomewithoutyou.com/" style="font-size: 12.7272720336914px;" target="_blank">No Home Without You</a> with kind permission. </td></tr></tbody></table><br />I love how Kaisa has used a nordic base (white walls and light wood floors), and then added mid-century finds and touches of rustic wood for an extra cosy vibe.
