A Hankering For . . . A Nordic Christmas



Good Morning!

Although I don't allow myself to "officially" start decorating for Christmas until after I finish hosting Thanksgiving it hasn't stopped me from planning and dreaming up possibilities.

For years I have been drawn to the simple beauty of Scandinavian Holiday decorations.  I swear somewhere along the long line of ancestors there must be a little Nordic in my bloodline.  How else is a girl to explain just how strongly this type of decorating pulls at me.

Always a fan of simplicity, I think this style will suit me well.  Oh sure, I'll still throw in family favorites and items I find too "essential" not to use.  I'm hoping a heavy hand of simplicity will help balance it all out.

In order to help myself pull off the new look, I've been doing a little studying on the subject and I thought you might like to take a look at the pretty inspiration photos I've found.

Take a look.

I'll definitely need a handful of baby trees!

Simple tiny tree in a bucket - love!

Another lovely example of a tiny tree in a bucket.  Love the candles on the tree too!

And of course, lots of candles.

    I am like you and wait until after Thanksgiving to decorate for Christmas (but I did make a holiday header for my blog and facebook already)!

  2. I may take your lead. I don't even mess with a big tree anymore. I like to decorate sporadically throughout the house. I love this look and of course the addition of candles and RED!

  4. Love it. I want to do a simple clean uncluttered Christmas this year. A few years ago I decided to have little trees instead of the big tree. It was the best decisions ever. I love how it looks. All your ideas are definetly beautiful. I am hoping to decorate next week. This year with only 3 weeks between the holidays why not. Nothing shouts out Christmas in what you have shown. I think it would put a sparkle on Thanksgiving.

  5. Beautiful inspiration! I must confess. I started decorating for Xmas already. We're not hosting Thanksgiving and we usually start decorating by November 24th. Thanksgiving is so late this year so I couldn't resist. We'll do the outside probably after Thanksgiving. For now, I'm doing the inside.

  17. I totally agree, there is something about the simplicity of their decor that I can't get enough of. I look forward to seeing how you decorate this year, perhaps I will copy cat something that you do!
