Glamorous Holiday inspiration you haven't seen before

Well, I hope you haven't seen some of these yet! Of course I love the white and cream backdrop, but these holiday decorating ideas are great too...

it looks like maybe the garland is a white feather boa - cute huh?

I'm not into binge decorating, I like small charming touches - like these lit branches on the table


The socks on the radiator are too cute

Notice the ornaments hung from the chandelier with ribbon. We do the exact same thing but from the curtain rods


A "warm" white can be hard to pull off but I think this is lovely

The tree you see in the image above this one is put up on a table - good idea!

Chirstmas in the Air #2

This is my second (and I'm sure it will not be the last) Christmas inspired post of the year. Previous posts here and last year's posts can be found here, here, here, and this post which is particularly lovely and has a beautiful, very simple and original decoration craft for my crafty friends. There is also a floating Christmas tree if you'd like to see it.

Located on the outskirts of Madrid, this is a decidedly fun house. The owners, Carlos Arriaga who is a painter and photographer and his wife, an interior designer, created a cheerful home full of fun ideas. Tour time, sweets!


An original Christmas tree stands by one of the living room's big windows.


In nearly every room of the house you will see framed photographs and paintings by owner Carlos Arriaga.


The round side table was purchased in Florence, Italy.




A collection of four mirrors in different styles above the white console table.


A Charles IV chest and a Wassily chair for this reading nook.


Very lovely but highly unpractical white rug by the entrance door.


A more traditional Christmas tree in a corner of the kitchen's dining area.


The all white kitchen comes alive with bursts of shocking pink.


Plenty of storage room at the foot of the master bed.


Painting by Esteban Arriaga.


Contemporary lines in the bathroom.


Happy smiling faces.

Have a wonderful Holiday and holiday inspiration

I want to wish you all a really wonderful holiday and I hope you get to spend time and laughs with you loved ones! On Monday I'll be leaving for Spain to see my boyfriend, Chris, where I'll be staying for a month, a week of which I'll be in Morocco. I will do my best to update you with photos! Thank you all so much for your ongoing support and again, have a great holiday!

Love all the reds!

Floating Christmas Tree in Rio

As some of you might know I live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I'd like to share with you these photographs of a stunning Chirstmas tree they put up every year (since 1996) in the middle of a lake called Rodrigo de Freitas or Lagoa as the locals like to call it.

It soars 85 meters high and uses 2,9 million light bulbs! It is built over a floating platform that moves around the lake. It will be lit every night until January 6th and on Saturdays there's a firework show. There's a sidewalk all around the lake so you can enjoy the view from every angle!
Also, the Lagoa will host canoeing & rowing events at the 2016 Olympic Games.

If you happen to be in Rio this time of the year just don't miss it!

Happy Holiday pics and thank you all!

I really hope everyone has a wonderful holiday, and gets to spend it with loved ones. I'm honored to be a part of such an amazing and supportive community. As some of you know, this has been a very hard couple of months for me with my dog passing, and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your kind words and sentiments. They are immensely helpful during this most devastating time.
