All white

Few days ago i stubbled upon this blog... i was totally amazed by the light and the brightness that reign in this abode. No wonder, the author is norwegian....Nina Holst.
Besides my naked white walls and my washing machine i have nothing white in my house... That could change now... i am totally inspired!! Check this out:

Coffee

The arabs were the first not only to cultivate coffee but also to begin its trade. I always thought it was the turks but was put right while travelling here .
And why am i telling you all this?? Well i stubbled upon this video and wanted to invite you to this:

Candlelight

At this time of the year we are more  likely to light a candle. I love its light and the shadows casted on walls...

In the woods

Growing up, my parents ,in my eyes, had an awful wallpaper in their bedroom... the woods!
Something like this:

Now i have to say, this trend is growing more and more on me. Still i would never put anything similar on my walls.
Recently i came across this birch wallpaper i could consider putting on.

It has a scandinavian feel to it.. very stylish.

More trees...

If you need more inspiration or consider buying, please go over at my favorite Wallpaper online shop

Here come some of my faves:

Foie Gras, Escargot et Magret de Canard- My Christmas Dinner

 First course: Foie Gras avec confits d'onions et de figues

Second course: Escargot de Bourgogne

Third course: Magret de Canard caramelisé

Cheese course: Epoisses,Comté, Brie

(For Christmas, we plant wheat to predict the success of the year to come. If the wheat has grown well, it means the year will be good-logically... 

ours is not as we have hoped it to be, but the hope dies at least)

Desert: Sablés de Noël

A little less christmassy decoration: I have this huge centerpiece of 5 orchids and since they are fragile, i decided to leave them on the table

I hope for you my dear readers, that everyone had a wonderful and tasty Christmas.
