If you're dreaming about how to make your guests feel welcome this Christmas, how about these ice lanterns? All you need is a couple of buckets, some water, pretty olive tree branches and sub zero temperatures. Beautiful! And oh so simple. Instructions here from the wonderful blog Design Sponge.

Have a lovely christmassy weekend!

This beautiful home all ready for Christmas is in Puglia, Italy where I went for a great friend's wedding last year. Such a lovely region, if you ever go stay in a trulli (like this!).

Copenhagen apartment true to it's heritage

Hej hej! This morning I wanted to share Frederik Nellemanns apartment with you. It's full of so many interesting pieces. 250 metres squared in Copenhagen filled with Danish design classics. My favourite room is the bedroom which is light and airy and has a raw wood desk - just so lovely.
