I know this is a strange declaration but I LOVE cold countries! We had the most beautiful February day ever (Toronto and it was sunny and 14!) and all I thought was I miss the cold. Maybe it’s the romantic in me but I love everything that has to do with the cold and keeping cozy. I love the cosy sweaters, I love hats and scarves, the way trees crack as they sway in the winter breeze, fresh snow, roaring fires, warm blankets, the list goes on and on!
What a cosy blanket!
Love these textures combined!
The architecture and design in northern climates has been adapted over time to these long winters. The houses celebrate light, warmth, and a connection to the great outdoors. These houses generally have large windows and glass doors, wooden floors, wool rugs, a fireplace, white walls, and a simplicity in their decoration.
A Swedish cottage in the summer
A Finish home in the winter - so spectacular!
Another home in the summer
What I’m really drawn to are the houses that are dark on the outside but white on the inside.
I could totally live here!
So simple...
I love their starkness!
These homes work beautifully in both the winter and the summer.
I am in love...
