december decorations

December traditions. colored Christmas lights in the ginkgo tree.

The multicolored LED festival lights we once bought from Habitat have lasted for many years. The bottom photos are from 2011, back then the beech hedge was still low and the trunk of the ginkgo tree was a lot thinner.

december decoration in the hallway

Colorful December decoration in our hallway.

A practical tree that takes up little space, but has a big effect on the mural in our hallway.

I actually bought the beautiful vintage Christmas balls postcards to send them, but suddenly got this bright idea.

We also have a real Christmas tree this year, because we are going to celebrate Christmas Eve with Liam-Novi for the first time.

An extra festive and special Christmas with our family and we are all looking very much forward to it.

la cucina

Latest addition to the kitchen:
A 'Casalino' chair by Alexander Begge for Casala, from the 1970s

Sometimes all it takes to add interest to the kitchen, is some unique shapes.

The round table and shapely chairs make the kitchen less kitchen and more dining room.

Since we got a round tulip table in the kitchen, we have been sitting here more often than before, and we already spent a lot of time in la cucina.
