Create a Room
This lovely room was found in the Danish RUM magazine. I set about to find similar items on Etsy. Fellow Canadians, Gallant & Jones deck chairs, life drawing by Zachas, an antique kilim wool pillow from Sukan, a rustic stool from L&R Vintage, and a hand woven rug from Gunaspalete. (all images belong to their owners).

A little out of my league in cookie decorating (hand-painting) but I thought you’d enjoy the inspiration for this year’s holiday baking! (via ohjoy; click on the photos to see more!)
