A black and white Christmas with Tine K.

It's the weekend, yay! There's going to be a flurry of last minute decorating and wrapping here in <a href="http://www.myscandinavianhome.blogspot.se/2013/12/my-home-at-christmas.html" target="_blank">my home</a> in preparation of celebrating our 'Swedish Christmas' with my husband's family next weekend. If like me, you're looking for new ideas - here's a touch of inspiration. When it comes to Christmas, Danish brand<a href="http://www.tinekhome.com/TINE_K_HOME_en" target="_blank"> Tine K Home</a> always come up trumps. The <a href="http://www.tinekhome.com/TINE_K_HOME_en" target="_blank">Tine K Home</a>  theme for the holiday season 2013 is black and white, save for the tree which is also decorated with a touch of earthy mauve (or, what would you call this colour?).<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

A beautiful Dutch stylists home ready for Christmas

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I love to end the week with an amazing, awe inspiring home tour and this one is absolutely no exception! A former library in Nijkerk, Netherlands, this is the home of  <a href="http://www.101woonideeen.nl/" target="_blank">101 woonideeen</a> editor and stylist extroadinaire <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/kimvrossenberg/" target="_blank">Kim van Rossenberg</a>. The beautifully light Scandinavian style home is decorated in white with touches of black and is all decked out for Christmas using subtle wood stars, garlands, 'Gran' fabric and wallpaper and an unconventional tree. Even the logs for the fire have a Christmas touch!

Pretty Christmas inspiration in white, pastel and gold

I'm working from a cafe today, the cold wind's howling outside and I'm all cosy and warm within. On days like this, when the winter's really set in I feel so Christmassy, how about you? I've been squirreling away lots of Scandinavian Christmas inspiration on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/nikiatmsh/boards/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> lately and thought I'd share some of it with you today. Now that I see it all together I notice a white theme (no surpise there!), simple branches and trees with a touch of pastel or gold.

A Swedish country-style Christmas

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here in Sweden people general start decorating over the first weekend of advent so I thought we're in need of a little inspiration, what do you reckon? This beautiful Swedish country home of stylist and photographer <a href="http://www.stylistgruppen.se/Marie_Delice_Karlsson.html" target="_blank">Marie Delice Karlsson</a> and her family is beautifully decorated using a green and white theme. I love the simplicity of the decorations which include bare-branched Christmas trees (which I'm sure smell divine) - who said you should only have one tree and that it should be in the corner of the sitting room? And I love the demi-john as a candleholder on the table. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-vFi2DN7_sPLI4z9UugBGxCfp9VuVM9uPz9JF3NCFril8DSFEfIx9BclAQYRAN8w-gEA3-7AIyFklLkxwCMerML1j8SHBg21twTs1SNRpecEuGpJSuniq2d9izuBHsGl40HKd-Two_sw/s1600/ll1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-vFi2DN7_sPLI4z9UugBGxCfp9VuVM9uPz9JF3NCFril8DSFEfIx9BclAQYRAN8w-gEA3-7AIyFklLkxwCMerML1j8SHBg21twTs1SNRpecEuGpJSuniq2d9izuBHsGl40HKd-Two_sw/s640/ll1.jpg" width="427" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQWjL2Y38Gscmze2nMqgs19vxymP63LcjawVHozUY6V4N741SGMxGeP1sZwuKqQSzktti0cmvey-8NqpHNF93aZnxsYyGswxtbgflvLS9-lbXkWPsvDHQsi_AVg6WO91a3qqmAwNnTUPA/s1600/ll4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQWjL2Y38Gscmze2nMqgs19vxymP63LcjawVHozUY6V4N741SGMxGeP1sZwuKqQSzktti0cmvey-8NqpHNF93aZnxsYyGswxtbgflvLS9-lbXkWPsvDHQsi_AVg6WO91a3qqmAwNnTUPA/s640/ll4.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ2PCTXOEKPcgx9oNHi308p3NNEFJmPhVuhjpQoR_sH0Xi9SrjupYeXgha8-2VV3Ie6K0whQLuwOt9Sm8ye7dlz-Hn-DmUpojU5rDOeacfIae3fcFLKHlbc2i3D7B1wT02j1AftZhLwvU/s1600/ll2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ2PCTXOEKPcgx9oNHi308p3NNEFJmPhVuhjpQoR_sH0Xi9SrjupYeXgha8-2VV3Ie6K0whQLuwOt9Sm8ye7dlz-Hn-DmUpojU5rDOeacfIae3fcFLKHlbc2i3D7B1wT02j1AftZhLwvU/s640/ll2.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXtiZ0tvnvU7C6qcTZGv8h8gx74Mnsy-jkHYhdNUo5pXOo0S1LT99eA10aLmaFNoPs5FwY7OQgd2z6K2-CNOu4vJZvFY0LrGBagvf61Ccs-JcETCHlT8betrdAeBr4ERR7oRCmdk-u7lM/s1600/ll3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXtiZ0tvnvU7C6qcTZGv8h8gx74Mnsy-jkHYhdNUo5pXOo0S1LT99eA10aLmaFNoPs5FwY7OQgd2z6K2-CNOu4vJZvFY0LrGBagvf61Ccs-JcETCHlT8betrdAeBr4ERR7oRCmdk-u7lM/s640/ll3.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVlhQuu78wDZNuPLBFA-4BuOoDvpxAQePU66Ti5dEgxAlavH8F4eGnWvaqlBW6jUvcJO1i_OZfPx4DtBXZpBY7ho3sszKpavdw9btQjqvHa_azCM-9Ilynvr1dfomkqZ3qffSRa8yQYXk/s1600/ll7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVlhQuu78wDZNuPLBFA-4BuOoDvpxAQePU66Ti5dEgxAlavH8F4eGnWvaqlBW6jUvcJO1i_OZfPx4DtBXZpBY7ho3sszKpavdw9btQjqvHa_azCM-9Ilynvr1dfomkqZ3qffSRa8yQYXk/s640/ll7.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMEKNyXzQy4C6DcQPHXzhd_1HYlDulez9Rh1VK5f3C1gcuBYa2bB6UptzdaWRhyQG5Xs_X0OxkpaRFTz4CO1jN031LMlDnI47tbG1jqrsFxwPxqD1hvPhSdTn3ufjYLv91ivsXHcFrY0M/s1600/ll8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMEKNyXzQy4C6DcQPHXzhd_1HYlDulez9Rh1VK5f3C1gcuBYa2bB6UptzdaWRhyQG5Xs_X0OxkpaRFTz4CO1jN031LMlDnI47tbG1jqrsFxwPxqD1hvPhSdTn3ufjYLv91ivsXHcFrY0M/s640/ll8.jpg" width="426" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Styling and photography: <a href="http://www.stylistgruppen.se/Marie_Delice_Karlsson.html" target="_blank">Marie Delice Karlsson</a> with kind permission. <a href="http://tidningenlantliv.se/2013/10/30/%E2%80%9Dvi-pyntar-med-vitt-och-gr%C3%B6nt%E2%80%9D/" target="_blank">Lantliv</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br />Anything you love about this home in particular?<br /><br />It's got me thinking about Christmas trees.
