Vintage White Home

This is the gorgeous vintage home of Vanessa Pleasants the blogger at The Vintage Whites . It really is a wonderful space filled with worked wood and vintage items collected over time. Pretty lights in the kitchen and dining room add a warm touch to the rooms and that green is the perfect shade! Love the antique mantel in the living room paired with the vintage couch. Super cute home....

Swedish Christmas

Love these holiday photos of a wonderful home featured in Femina Magazine. Go and check out the rest of the home as it is really beautiful. It is so great to see two tables used differently in the same small space. Love the grouping of brass candles on the table with the bench on one side. Very simple yet stunning!

How to Decorate with Pom-Poms

Well Christmas is in just a few days but a fun DIY you could do with the family is make a pom-pom garland or wreath. Pom-poms are so easy to make and I love the way they look in a garland...super cute. You just need some good wool a pair of scissors and your fingers and away you go. Look at all of the great ways to use pom-poms in your holiday decor. Actually I think they would be cute all year long! Here is a link to a video on how to make pom-poms and follow the links on some of the other photos to see how to make garlands and wreaths.

Dressed in Black

Black is everywhere in home decor these days and of course fashion as always. I am really loving the black I am seeing in home decor and ceramics. I actually made a few pieces of black ceramics this week and I loved it! Love all of these pins I posted on Pinterest this week. You can follow me here....

Have a great weekend!

Gift Wrapping Ideas for Christmas

There are so many fun ways to wrap your gifts this holiday. I prefer the neutral tones and the natural textures when wrapping with fun gift tags or natural leaves and pine as the finishing touch. As you can see in my video in yesterdays post, not only do little gift boxes look great under the tree they can be used to decorate a table setting. Some of the links below take you to printable gift tags so explore each of the links to see more ideas.

Natrel and lookslikewhite Present: A Breathtaking Table Setting for the Holidays

This past summer I worked with Natrel, a Quebec based dairy company, on a wonderful project, How to Set a Summer Brunch Table. Well, I have once again had the chance to work with this great company on dressing a Breathtaking Holiday Table. Natrel has a wonderful commitment to providing pure, natural products and their website magazine is full of inspiring recipes and ideas for the holiday season.

It is always so much fun for me to think of ways to plan out my table settings for this time of year and I really love the rustic feeling of the Holiday Table we have for you in the video. There are so many great ways to Set a Holiday Table so this week I will dedicate a couple of posts to doing just that!

Take a look at the video and let me know how you plan to set your table this year!

Enjoy!

Swedish Christmas

In this 100 year old Swedish home rustic meets refined Scandinavian style. The kitchen is my favourite room for sure with the wall of subway tile and double hanging lamp. Sheepskin covered rattan chairs create a cozy space in the dining room. Simple Christmas trees and a bit of red and white add a pretty touch of the holiday season. Lovely home dressed for the holidays!

Knit One, Pearl Two

Knitting is such a big trend right now and knitted items are really all over in home accessories and fashion. Big chunky knits looks so great in a throw or stool cover and now you can find rugs as well. So I was working on a ceramic project last week and decided to add a bit of textured wool to the piece. I went and bought some wool and when I got home I decided to finger knit the wool into a long tube. I went on line to find out how to do it..... So easy! In a short time I had created a long chunky tube of wool that I could easily have turned into a scarf....and it was fun. Who new knitting could be so fun and so easy? Any knitters out there?

Perfect Party Home

This house looks like the perfect place to have a party don't you think? Amazing kitchen area that opens up to a big table and the back yard and a living room that does the same. So great with guests going in and out of the house moving around from one room to the other....The house is for rent through Light Locations and it would be wonderful for a photo or video shoot as well. Lots of light and well styled it presents so well.

Go onto their website to see all the photos of this house and the many more they have for rent. Gorgeous!

Enjoy!
