Viktoria’s Swedish Home with Pretty DIY Festive Touches
A sidetable in the kitchen has been transformed into a festive bar with glasses and plates at the ready! My Mum does this too in her house in London and it creates such a lovely vibe – like there could be a party any minute! I do love a home bar, how about you?
There’s something special about vintage glasses like these. I have set from the 1930s at home.
Viktoria has made candleholder embellishments out of metal leaves to enhance her usual candlestick holders at Christmas – such a lovely idea!
Wreath making is on the cards year round in Viktoria’s home. In December boxwood or eucalyptus are the preferred material!
A simple bouquet of eucalyptus hangs in the study. It would be equally nice placed in the shower to allow the steam to release the aroma – a perfect way to freshen up in winter!
I love these little mini Christmas trees – they are so simple and take up next to no space. Look at the little mice too!
Stars and amaryllis add a wintery touch to the bedroom while the snow comes down outside.
Lovely!
I’m feeling especially inspired about the metal work – and making small embellishments to add to existing items to give them a small Christmassy touch – so clever!
Is there anything that stood out to you?
It’s dawned on my that there aren’t that many posts left here on My Scandinavian Home before the holidays. Is there anything in particular you would like to see? Perhaps Scandinavian Christmas tree round-ups, gift wrapping ideas, party table settings, DIY decorations or other festive decorating inspiration? It’s also dawned on me that I haven’t showed the full tour of my cabin yet, so perhaps that could also be of interest? Please do let me know your thoughts and ideas below!
Oh, and another thing, sorry for the mix up with the links in Mondays newsletter. I can only put it down to the fact that it was, well, Monday! Gaaah! If you would like to receive each post directly to your inbox, do sign up at the bottom of the page – and I promise to try to be better with the links!
Happy Wednesday friends!
