Silent night

I do not know where this photo was taken but isn't it a perfect place to finish a winter night? Snow makes even a busy city like Paris quiet and peaceful. Let's see if we will have snow this year.

Winter wonderland

Imagine celebrating Christmas in Nyköpings, Sweden.  In the morning you have a hearty breakfast in the lovely dinign room. During the day you walk the dog in the crisp winter sun and at night you snuggle up on the white sofa admiring your Christmas tree. This house is the right setting for my current 'Sweden' fantasy.

An alternative way of decorating for the season. Marcel would aprove, I am sure.

Have a nice weekend, dear readers!

Marvelous snow castle near Paris

Browsing the internet for weekend getaways near Paris I found this gem of a castle! Château de la Verrerie is less than one hour by train from Paris Gare du Montparnasse. I already see myelf relaxing here, don't you? I like how the decorators sneaked in a few 'modern' pieces to make the castle less traditional, for example with the Kartell lamp or the Indian commode.

A spot of white

For the beginning of the week I present bright whites and plants from a certain Swedish furniture store.This space feels very homey and real. White spaces need different textures so that they do not look too clinical. And, as always, the white ceiling lamp from the aforementioned store is such a bargain and I have seen it all over blogland.

European Chic goes to .... Kanataka & Kerala, India

Finally, I had a moment to sort through my India photos of my recent trip and post a few. Everything is so beautiful that it is difficult not to overdo it and attempting to post 'all' photos. I was travelling in india during Diwali, a three day celebration. The food was amazing and I could have bought every single scarf and sari I saw. The patterns really do it for me.

Check out also the photos from my last India trip to Northern India!

P.S. On a personal note; my beloved dog - European Chic's muse - died.  

 The brand new metro line in Bangalore!
