Hasta La Ideas

So delighted to receive these photos taken by Wendy of the Dutch design blog, Beeldsteil, in her own home … Wendy is showing us how she is decorating for the festivities this year… so let's start this Christmas week with this!

We love the subtlety of the decorations and ornaments. They fit so nicely in with the rest of her home's interior. Truly insipred by the Nordic countries … and the current black and white themes we see flowing aroung the web … we believe Wendy had added the exact amount of joy and cheer a home could even have all year round! hahahah … 

A 180 degree flip from the va-va-voom out there kind of green, red and gold decorations we see so often. It's always inspiring to see the different themes and colors used in everyone's homes. You love some you hate some, and if you are lucky you find the one perfect for your style and your home!

Have a Holly Jolly Christmas…with a little glitter and sparkle. These shapes might look familiar to you, we used simple Ikea cookie cutters. It was a little tricky cutting the ply wood. But we managed to create these simple magnets. Last minute decision to not paint over the wood, we love it's natural color and a little gold.

Stepping out of the North Pole for a contemporary Christmas, and we love every single one of these ideas. What do you think? Black and white holiday cards never looked better and personalize your wrapping paper with handwritten notes and drawings. There's more favourites on our pinterest page and we are still pinning. So hop on over to our Holiday Inspiration Pinterest Board.

Like I mentioned on Bloesem Kids, Easter is just around the corner. Since I don't have children yet, sometimes Easter can feel rather boring. I mean Easter egg hunts are the best, and it isn't as fun when my husband and I do it…and don't get me started on what happens if we include our bulldog's. With that said, to keep my Easter spirits high – I thought it might be fun to put together some adult focused Easter items. – Tiffany King
