There was a little bit of misunderstanding with yesterday’s post.  Apparently some lovely people thought that the first image was part of my home, it’s not.  I found the image at New York Social Diary.  The post was intended to inspire a different way to approach Christmas Decoration.  I apologize for the confusion.  For that reason I decided to post a few images of our home, which I don’t do much because we all know that magazines would not be interested in featuring somehing that’s been already published.  This past Saturday the photographer Marco Ricca was here and took many lovely pictures of two of our bathrooms, the guestroom and Lucas’ room.  For the guestroom above I wanted to create a magical space that was cozy, inviting and dreamy.  So my first thought was the movie Amelie.  Since I love French movies for their lightness and happiness underlined I designed our guestroom inspired on Amelie, hence the whimsical and unique wallpaper and the color scheme.  The wallpaper is Champignons by Brunschwig and Fils, the side tables are designed by a Karl Springer apprentice.  I don’t remember his name.  The handle is one sculptural gorgeous thing but you can’t appreciate it much unless you click on the picture an zoom in.

The most wonderful time of the year is knocking on our door to come in and literally shake us in our chairs.  My heart is beating with excitement at just listening the songs and smelling the so pleasant smell of pine cone everywhere I go.  I haven’t yet started decorating the house, but this year we’ll do small vignettes, just like last year.  I posted some images of my home from Christmas time last year.  Two or three tabletop Christmas trees and we’ll be ready to really suck in the whole spirit of this time of the year.  Enjoy!

A dry orange Christmas wreath will make any home smell crispy clean. 
So cozy

Large ornaments laying around the house is a very unique and modern way of setting your home for Christmas.

Hanging a pretty set or ornaments of a mirror corner or a painting is simple but valid.
