Swedish Corner Down Under Christmas Home

The school holidays are well and truly on their way to the finishing line. The new school year starts on Monday the 22nd here in south-east Queensland. We've had a very relaxing Summer/Christmas holiday. I haven't been blogging much here, mainly at Swe-Aussie Xmas, my Christmas blog.

Welcome to our Swedish Corner Down Under Christmas home!

Let's start in the lounge room..

Candles and wreaths

Red and white Christmas

Poinsettias at the top making the furniture look amazingly festive

Lots of candle holders everywhere...

Sure is the most wonderful time of the year!

God Helg - Happy Weekend,

a phrase used during Christmas/New Years

Our Yuletide Bed Room

I just adore our red and white Christmas bedroom with snowflakes, cute Christmas jumpers and cozy cushions.

God Jul

Merry Christmas in Swedish

Happy Yule

Posted this photo on my Instagram. I had just purchased a red and white curtain, and not knowing where to use it, I simply draped it over the bed for a festive yet subtle country look... ♥

As a tradition, Swedes don't remove the Christmas decorations until 20 days after Christmas, but I usually keep it up much longer as I enjoy it so immensely... ♥ I can't get enough of the red, I love the red everywhere and I love the warmth - even if it's 36°c/97°F outdoors. I love the way the Christmas decor makes me feel in the heart!

- Hope you like my home as much as I do. 

Thank you for stopping by ♥

New Year's Eve 2017

We had a quiet night at home on New Year's Eve

We ate scrumptious food and watched fireworks on TV.

- a perfect evening in my eyes!

I skipped the traditional white and silver table setting

and used red and white instead!

Still Christmas in my heart ♥

Saffron salmon with carrots and rosemary on a bed of basmati rice

Stay tuned for our New Year's Day table setting... ☺

Our Christmas home

Hi all,

I thought I'd pop in and say hello... I haven't been blogging much lately, not here at Swedish Corner Down Under anyway. I have been focusing on my Christmas blog, Swe-Aussie Xmas, during the Christmas period. Here are a few photos from our Christmas home ♥

Hope you enjoyed this short tour... ♥
