Inspiration in White - Christmas Tables

I am starting to think about how I will do my table this year for Christmas Day when the family comes over. I always do an all white table (of course) but this year I really want to add something different. I am not sure what that will be ( I will take a picture so you can see what I decide) but I want to add red or bring plants instead of flowers onto the table. Anyway, I have been looking for inspiration and I thought I would share with you what I found.

Enjoy!

Light Filled Studio

A former barn this property has been converted into a studio for photography. I have often seen these images on tumblr and absolutely loved them. There seems to be such a relaxing feeling to this location and it would make a wonderful spot for a full time home!

Enjoy!

French Country Christmas

This beautiful 18th century farmhouse in France is the perfect backdrop to an all White Christmas. Lovely architectural details such as the paneled walls and beamed ceilings are well paired with the furnishings and accessories in the home. The sparkle of candlelight against the mirrors and the glass add warmth to this elegant setting. What a wonderful home to celebrate the season! Love it..

Enjoy!

Inspiration in White - Holiday Doors and Windows

I love these windows and doors (and a couple of blackboards ) with a beautiful touch of green in a wreath or a bunch of pine boughs. It is so easy and fun to add a touch of the holidays with a wreath hung indoors or outside. Add a bow, some pine cones and a few berries and voila! So many creative folks out there!

 

Enjoy!

Easy Eclectic

This is such a cute eclectic little home with chandeliers of all sorts hanging together, black and white tile mixed with wood and painted floors and wonderful vintage touches everywhere! I really love the little dustpan sitting against the wall in the first photo as if that was just where it was supposed to be. No pretension at all in this little house...just as it should be..

Enjoy!

Norwegian Beauty

This little jewel of a home in Norway is not full of expensive furnishings or fancy decor but still manages to be creative and inspiring. I think adding reflection in a home is so important and they do this so well with all of the lovely glass chandeliers. The touches of grey throughout the home in the couches, the wording on the furniture and the throw on the bed add a wonderful contrast in every room and provide continuity as well.

 

Enjoy!

Swiss Chalet

This gorgeous chalet in the Swiss Alps is owned by a French family and is made to accommodate just that....a real family. In photo 1 we see the master bedroom made luxurious with furs on the bed and the carpet. The warm fireplace to the family game room dotted with bean bag chairs makes this space fun and informal even with its grand scale...and look at the location. Oh boy that would be a wonderful view each day for sure. Anyone for a hot rum!

Enjoy!
