Outside cold – Inside warmth

“King Winter” is ruling over Belgium at this moment! This weekend he treated us again with lots of snow! I know, I know,.. a lot of traffic misery… but on the other hand, gorgeous picturesque scenery!

We were fortunate to be at home this weekend and enjoyed winter time mostly from inside the house.

We tried to hang some Christmas decoration around the house, but we didn’t atteint that far.

Yesterday afternoon we went Christmas “snow” shopping. In Belgium, this time of the year, shops are open on Sundays.

I want to share with you some pictures I took this weekend from inside our home.

Here on below you can see the Christmas wreaths we hung at the balcony fence and at the entrance gate.

The wreaths are covered with snow! You can hardly see them.

Here you can see the Christmas decoration in our orangerie.

To warm you up (especially to my readers who live in countries where it is very cold and where it is snowing), I treat you with some pictures of interiors with a warm color palette.

Enjoy!

I WANT ONE

Quick post before I sink into my couch and watch some crappy television. Take a gander at these babies. I would happily get one of these under the tree... If only the Duck could get one for like 12 bucks I would be in luck! They are from the wacky furniture house CASAMANIA....normally not a fan but these tables..BELLA BELLA


BTW have you seen these? I refuse to post the picture cause it will just ruin the look of my whole entire blog. Lets just say its "cheeky"

Winter

 Is it wrong to stack logs with no purpose except for a nice wintery vibe? I think not.. I would do this in my house if I know G wouldn't climb on them or grab one and beat the cat up with it. I feel like I am slowly becoming that Mom that has to hide away all of her worldly possessions and knick knacks so that her child doesn't try and float them in the toilet. I find myself raising my voice often to G "honey please put Mommy's archipelago candles down... honey yucky-yucky you can't eat mom's vintage Chinese calligraphy brushes...G put down the agate coasters.... oh-no did you just go potty on my Ben Ourain rug!!!" Haha ok let's get real I don't own a Ben Ourain rug.
