All is calm, all is bright…

Thursday 13 December 2012

This isn’t the post I had planned for today but after reading about general holiday chaos on blogs around the world (and feeling a little overwhelmed by all the Christmas parties myself), I thought a little calm was in order. So sit down, put your feet up for five minutes, take a nice deep cleansing breath and scroll through the serenity that is this beautiful [and suitably festive] room.

Feel better? I certainly do!

  1. I totally hear ya about feeling overwhelmed! I'm visiting my bf's family this Christmas (my first year being away from my own family for the holidays, and also visiting a bf's family/meeting them for the first time, etc etc) so thank you so much for the calming exercise! These images are lovely, and it totally did help! Happy Holidays!

  4. The images are very calming and the rooms are so inviting and probably smell of evergreen. Oh, I love that smell!

  11. So beautiful. I love the pine branches in the glass jars - they'd bring that lovely Christmas smell without having an entire tree (I love real trees, but we succumbed to a very gorgeous fake tree a couple of years ago, which is a lot easier on several levels for us!). x
