I had to, of course, return to my favourite colour combination of all. I was so inspired by this clean and modern, yet surprisingly warm space found at Moodboard (she always has the best scanned archives!). Simple un-fussy details make this space peaceful and calming - and easy to transition to the holidays and beyond!

Lots of sparkle with tea lights and twinkling fairy lights everywhere! Love the soaring ceilings in this space, with simple artwork leaned up against the low white console.

Another easy Christmas tree alternative - definitely delivers all the sparkle, but not still not sure I can part with the delicious scent of fresh pine.

Really love all the plush textures that keep the space from looking cold. This glowing little fireplace setup may just be the perfect solution for my non-working fireplace mantle.
A cozy rug and some throw pillows (+ wine!) would make for a lovely romantic evening by 'the fireside'.

Love this simple and stunning wrapping paper called 'Diamonds and Stars' - I think it would make whatever's inside a little more lovely!As apparently it's almost impossible to find, I thought I'd include a lovely black and white wrapping alternative for the holidays or whenever - and immediately available with these fantastic downloadable templates from Blueprint magazine. Get them here and just print them out from wherever you are!
(Thank you Martha!)
