Create a Beautiful Home On a Budget
Welcome to another Dagmar’s Home link party! If you are here for the first time — hello, hello!
I was debating if I should skip this week, since my last party was 10 days ago, but I want to show you my latest fun finds!
This weekly link party used to be for sharing thrifty or vintage finds, because I love everything thrifty or vintage, but I opened it up for all kinds of posts. [Read more…]
Growing up in North Germany, I was close to Scandinavia: Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland.
I actually never visited any of those countries — my parents instead took my brother and me to Tunesia (beach vacation) and Italy (ski vacation) every year when we were growing up.
But I was surrounded by Scandinavian decor because IKEA is so popular in Germany.
This Swedish company is obviously known all over the world.
We’d go there to enjoy their affordable lunch and buy a few things, and when I moved to Los Angeles, I thankfully had an IKEA store just 15 minutes up the street from me.
I spent A LOT of time there strolling through the rooms and marketplace, and bought a lot of their small furniture and storage items over the years, plus plants and home decor.
Infusing Scandinavian decor combines perfectly with a farmhouse or cottage look, which is how I like to decorate.
What do you think of first when you think of IKEA furniture, or Scandinavian decor?
I think of the light brown color of pine furniture. I had several of them in my room growing up.
You might think of white walls and floors, neutral color accents, and overall calming interiors.
For this post, I compiled the most beautiful examples of Scandinavian decor I could find on Pinterest.
I love decorating for fall and Halloween — but let’s be real, I’m too busy to do anything elaborate and like decorating projects that only take a few minutes and don’t cost much.
Even better — they are so easy that the kids can help you with them, or you can keep them busy with these activities for a little while. [Read more…]
