I went to the NYIGF yesterday and saw some great new pieces to add to the home. Two of my favorites were the watering cans below, as well as the new special edition Stelton Vacuum jugs.

A Winter Fiesta

When it comes to food, Spanish inspired food is completely different from Scandinavian, however the ambience is no different.  A cozy dinner with friends is a cozy dinner with friends no matter what you are serving.
To warm up a little on these cold January nights I am having some girl friends over for a January Fiesta. We are also celebrating two of my friends birthday's so I made Mexican Hot Chocolate Cupcakes with a Cinnamon Cream cheese frosting, Yum! There is not much that is more hyggelig than good food, friends, and wine.

 Piping cold cream cheese frosting is not as easy as I thought.

Keeping Warm

It was absolutely freezing today, with a high of 22 all I wanted to do was be cuddled up at home. Here are a few cozy things on a cold winter's day and night.

Cathering Kullberg

Table Lamp

Candle Holders

Ceiling pendant

 Cathering Kullberg is a Norwegian artist, whose work I have seen over and over  again on design blogs. The pendants seem to fit into anywhere, I've seen it hung in a cabin and over a table in a city apartment, both look equally at home.  Her hand carved light pendants are a a subtle way of bringing the woods into the city.

Kaysa Cramer Ceramics

Kaysa Cramer is a ceramist is Sweden who makes and designs beautiful pieces that focus more on the lines of her work than color. The simplicity of these pieces make them a good fit for a modern home or a more rustic cabin.

Open Shelving

Since the day we moved in , we have wanted to install open shelving. It was difficult to find shelving that would not take up any visual space and would fit into our apartment perfectly. In December Vipp started selling these wall shelves in Europe and just this January opened that up to the North American Market. Yesterday we installed them, well Tim did. These shelves fit in with the style of our kitchen and free up our existing cabinets. I can't wait to add our new wine glasses to these shelves.
