If you click on the link and purchase the item, I will receive an affiliate commission at no extra cost to you. I will only recommend products or services I use personally and/or believe will add value to my readers, so there is no conflict of interest. First of all, let’s define “Scandi”… Scandinavian (Scandi) decor is all about simplicity and hygge. It’s about creating a warm, welcoming interior with rustic yet clean modern lines. Your decor should include natural materials like wood and fur, candles for a warm, soft glow, warm blankets for cozy snuggling, and a fireplace for warmth if you can pull it off. Consider using simple furniture, natural materials, calm colors, and plenty of texture. A Scandinavian Christmas is about celebrating the joy in the simple things the season has to offer. Keep things simple, purposeful, and uncluttered. A splash of greenery and a pop of red works well with this decor style, just don’t overdo it. You could even sneak in a bit of gold for some seasonal sparkle. The focus should be on enjoying the things found in nature during the winter season, so bring bits of the outdoors into your home with reindeer, pine trees, snowflakes, berries, pine cones, nuts, wood logs, and even birds. And don’t forget the obligatory gnomes! Gnomes protect your home and keep out negative energy. To help you get started, here are some happy hygge holiday decor ideas from Amazon… Item 1— 7.5 ft Artificial Norwegian Spruce Tree by the National Tree Company Store Standing at 7.5 feet tall and about 58” in diameter, this tree is intentionally minimal in design. The negative space created by the pine branches leaves plenty of room for Scandi-style tree decor to fill in the gaps. Item 2— Set of 12 Unfinished Natural Wood Bead Ornaments by Sage In Thyme Natural wood beads are very trendy right now. These 5” long beads with twine loops for hanging look right at home in a rustic interior. They are clean, minimal, and rustic, perfect for a Scandi-style tree. Item 3— 4” Red and White Ribbon Ball Ornaments by Christmas Market Ornaments Add a pop of red and a little Swedish charm to your tree with these lightweight polyfoam Christmas tree ball ornaments. The stitching has a folksy, hand-sewn feel. Items 4 & 5— 12 ft Wooden Bead Garland by Canlierr Add a little color to the tree with these painted wooden red and gold bead garlands. Each garland is 12 feet long and perfect for draping around the branches of the Norwegian Spruce Tree. Item 6— 28 Piece Pinecone Set with White Snow Accents by the JOHOUSE Store Bring a bit of nature indoors with these real pinecones with hanging ribbons. Use them to dress up the Scandinavian tree or place them in bowls or on tables around the room. Item 7— Set of 9 Wooden Reindeer Christmas Ornaments by the Unittype Store These laser-cut wood ornaments come with hanging twine and are perfect for use on the tree or as gift tags. The rustic design matches the Joy sign, wood beads, and tree topper. Item 8— Set of 12 Silk Wrapped Ornaments by Fsforcar If you want to add a little glitz to your tree, try these foam silk-wrapped ornaments. The ball ornaments are embellished with sequins, beads, and gold thread that adds a bit of glitter without being overly pretentious. Item 9— Wooden Snowflake Christmas Tree Topper by The Lakeside Collection Store Your Christmas tree needs the right tree topper to complete the Scandi holiday look. This beautiful natural-colored wood snowflake is 20 3/4” in diameter and matches the wood ornaments on the Scandi mood board. Item 10— Set of 6 Reindeer Tea Light Candle Holders by FUNPENY No Scandi-style interior is complete without candles! This set of six reindeer tea light candle holders can be displayed as a group or placed separately around the room to create a warm glow. Item 11— Swedish Candelabra with 5 Flameless Taper Candles by the Lewondr Store Add a Nordic flair to your windowsill or tablescape with this Swedish candelabra. The snowflake design mirrors other design elements on this mood board, such as the snowflake tree topper, helping to bring a cohesive look to your space. Item 12— Set of 2 15.7” Tall Metal Christmas Tree Candle Holders with LED Candles by the Lulu Home Store The simplicity of these tree-shaped metal candle holders makes them perfect for a Scandi table. The copper hand-painted metal candle holders include flickering LED candles to mimic real flames. Item 13— Rustic Wooden Joy Sign by the Eternhome Store Spread some joy this season with this rustic wood sign with simple Christmas greenery. The design of the metal deer and tree goes well with the wooden reindeer tree ornaments, adding to the cohesiveness of the decor. Item 14— Cream Sherpa Throw Blanket 50 x 60 inches by the Bedsure Store Bring in some cozy hygge elements with blankets like this warm reversible fleece blanket with a shaggy Jacquard pattern on the one side. Curl up in a chair on a cold winter’s night with this blanket, a hot cup of your favorite beverage, and a captivating book! Item 15— Set of 2 Brown Fur Throw Pillow Covers 18 x 18 inch by Hola Fiest Could you resist running your fingers through the fur on these pillow covers?! There’s nothing more cozy and tactile than fur for a Scandi interior! Item 16— Set of 3 Winter Christmas Plush Gnomes by the Gehydy Store Aren’t these winter gnomes adorable?! This set of handmade plush gnomes with skis and sleds adds a touch of whimsy to your table and a pop of red color. Finish off your Christmas vignette or tablescape with these handsome little guys who will spread joy and protect your home! Related blogs you may want to read:

Simply elegant…That’s the vibe you get when you pair gold with white for your holiday decor! This look is easy to pull off if your everyday decor is already white, such as with Farmhouse or modern styles. But you could use the gold and white color combo strategy to give almost any interior space a touch of elegance. Today’s mood board is all about embracing the bright and airy feel of white home accents with a touch of glamour. The overall style of the board is traditional, but it would have been quite simple to create a much more modern look as well. The gold and white combination is versatile, and the results are incredibly indulgent and gratifying! Here are a few decor ideas to get you started… Item 1— White Satin Wire Ribbon with Gold Snowflakes by the Ribbon Traditions Store This list starts with a beautiful winter-themed white satin wire ribbon with glittery gold snowflakes. The wire ribbon is perfect for Christmas trees, banisters, decorative bows, or gifts. Each roll is 360 inches long and 2 1/2 inches wide. Item 2— Set of 4 15” Gold and White Nutcrackers by the KI Store If you collect nutcrackers for your Christmas decor this is for you! It is a set of four gold and white soldier and king nutcrackers, each standing 15 inches high. I especially love the shimmer of the glittery gold paint! Item 3— Set of 3 White Porcelain Houses by Mark Feldstein & Associates This set of three porcelain row houses has a delightful old-world charm. Group them to create a village or place them separately on tables or a fireplace mantle. Light them up with tea lights for a warm glow. These houses stand about 8 inches tall. Item 4— White and Gold 54” Tree Skirt by Kurt S. Adler This gorgeous tree skirt is an ample 54 inches in diameter. The white polyester fabric has a pattern of delicate gold vines and sequined holly that makes an elegant statement to complete the look of your holiday tree. Item 5— Set of 2 White and Gold Christmas Stockings by Valery Madelyn The Valery Madelyn shop has some of my favorite Christmas and holiday decor items this year, including these 21-inch velvet embroidered stockings with sequins and rhinestones. These luxurious stockings would make such an opulent statement on a mantle or hung on a railing! Item 6— 6ft Pre-Lit Garland with Poinsettias and Ornaments by Valery Madelyn And speaking of Valery Madelyn…This pre-lit 6-foot garland with warm LED lights is adorned with white and gold florals, ribbons, and festive ornaments. What table, mantle, or window wouldn’t look gorgeous with one of these?! Item 7— 24” Pre-Lit Swag with Poinsettias and Ornaments by Valery Madely If you need more of Valery Madelyn, try this matching teardrop swag! Hang this pre-lit swag on your front door to welcome your holiday guests. Item 8— Set of 2 18 x 18 White Snowflake Throw Pillow Covers by Elife I love the tactile look of these cotton linen throw pillow covers! The raised snowflakes invite you to touch them! This 18” x 18” set of throw pillow covers is an inexpensive way to add a little touch of winter to your side chairs or sofa. Item 9— Set of 2 Gold Resin Reindeer Sculptures by FANTESTICRYAN What these gold reindeer figurines lack in size, they make up for in elegance! Standing at a little over 3 inches tall, this pair of reindeer is perfect for your holiday vignettes. Item 10— 7.5ft Pre-Lit Artificial Carolina Pine Christmas Tree by the National Tree Company Are you tired of buying real trees? Or are you in need of a replacement for your old artificial tree? I found this impressive 7.5-foot pre-lit Carolina pine with a 61” diameter base. The tree comes with a sturdy metal stand to keep this substantial tree in place. And take a look at the pinecones and realistic branches! This tree is beautiful before you even put decorations on it! Item 11— 30ct Gold and White Shatterproof Christmas Ornaments by Valery Madelyn The Valery Madelyn shop makes another appearance! These visually stunning gold ornaments would look stunning on that Carolina pine and are shatterproof. Hanging strings are included. Item 12— 12pc Glitter Gold Berry Stems by the Childom Store I’ll end this list with these gold glitter berries. Use by themselves or with other faux florals as a tree topper, tree filler, wreath florals, garland filler, or in a vase as a floral arrangement. Related blogs you may want to read:
Have a Blue Christmas with these 16 Decor Ideas! Inspirational decor ideas for a modern rustic Thanksgiving table Indoor Halloween Decor Inspiration Embrace the magic of fairy core decor this fall Dark Academia Decor for the Fall Create a cozy relaxing interior space this fall with neutral colors Brighten up your autumn decor with these items Pastel decorating ideas for autumn Need ideas for incorporating the color blue into your fall decor? Inspirational ideas for creating that cozy boho style Nine hygge decor ideas Winter color palette ideas for your home decor In a previous tutorial, we created a circular Celtic braid. This tutorial will be a simpler version of that design, just a basic twist that I will be using in a new piece of Celtic art—a High Cross. Gather your supplies: Drawing pencils Markers Blending stumps Eraser Clic eraser Ruler Horse hair brush Grid paper Sketch pad Tracing paper (This supply list contains affiliate links, as I am an affiliate of Blick Art Materials. If you click on the link and purchase the item, I will receive an affiliate commission at no extra cost to you. I will only recommend products or services I use personally and/or believe will add value to my readers, so there is no conflict of interest.) Before we start: Guidelines should be drawn using light pressure and/or a 2H drawing pencil so that they can be easily erased. Also, you may want to watch this YouTube tutorial, especially if you are only using a few basic tools: Now let’s get into the circular twist border tutorial! Step 1: Draw a circle 6.25” in diameter and a second inner circle 4.25” in diameter. Step 2: Draw a circle 1/8” (or half a grid box if you are using grid paper) from each of these circles on the inside of the ring. This will be your decorative border. Step 3: Lightly draw a circle at the center point in between these two sets of border lines. This will be the first part of the grid to help you draw the twist. Step 4: Divide the ring into quarters using your ruler, or line up on grid paper. Step 5: Now divide the quarters in half, creating 8 sections. Use the technique from this tutorial to find the center of the arc by drawing overlapping circles and lining up the points where they intersect. Step 6: Divide these sections in half to create 16 sections. Step 7: And finally, divide those sections in half again to create 32 sections. Step 8: Pick a square from this new grid to start. As shown below, draw a pair of “C”s from corner to corner. Think of this as the start of a thread, making your piece of thread as thin or as thick as you like, depending on how much space you want to take up and the style you want to create. Step 9: Now fill the rest of the grid—top and bottom—with these same pairs of “C”s as shown. Try to keep your thread widths consistent. You will now have a circular grid full of links. Step 10: Erase the intersections between the links to allow you to work more easily on the overs and unders. Step 11: Pick a place to start and create your first over-under intersection. Do not jump around. Work from this point and follow the pattern around the ring, making sure you end up with a thread that alternates over and under. Step 12: Erase all the guidelines and clean up your lines as needed. Step 13: Add shading and stylize! You’re finished! How did it go? Let me know in the comments below!

The holidays are almost here, and it’s time to think about dragging out the boxes and bins of holiday decor. If you have blue-themed decor—or would like to change your usual Christmas decor colors—this blog post is for you! The theme of this mood board is frosty Arctic winter and embraces the blue, white, and silver color scheme with a holiday twist. Let’s have some fun…Take a look at these 16 wintry holiday items found on Amazon! Item 1— 16” Santa Figurine in Blue Clothing by the Windy Hill Collection This wintry list starts with this gorgeous Santa figurine decked out in cobalt blue fabric with silver and white embellishments. The exquisite details include intricate sequin designs and faux fur. Further decorative details include a silver goodie bag with presents, jingle bells, and jewels. Item 2— Set of 3 Silver Candle Holders by DRELIFAM These luxurious candle holders are made of iron with a shiny silver finish. The crowns have an intricate vintage-style design and hold pillar candles up to 3” in diameter. The height of the candle holders are 9”, 11”, and 12”. Item 3— 16” White Swedish Christmas Gnome by the Funoasis Store Your winter decor is not complete unless you have a gnome! This adorable plushy gnome is made of wool felt with a resin nose. Items 4 & 5— 14 Pack 7.8” Glitter Berry Stems by the DearHouse Store Blue and white foam glitter berries can be mixed to create a festive tree topper or stuffed randomly into the tree to accent your ornaments. They also make a nice winter holiday arrangement for a table centerpiece. Item 6— 70ct Winter Wonderland Shatterproof Christmas Tree Ornaments by the Valery Madelyn Store I’m crushing over the holiday decor in the Valery Madelyn Store! This shop offers so many gorgeous ornaments but I particularly liked this set in silver, white, aqua, and navy. Item 7— Set of 3 Iced Glass Flameless Pillar Candles by Mark Feldstein & Associates If your table or mantle needs a touch of frosty pizzazz, try these frosted glass candle holders with a silver snowflake and jewel on the front! The candle holders have battery-operated flickering LED candles and are 4”, 5”, and 6” in height. Item 8— Set of 2 White Woodland Reindeer Figurines by naturevibe I fell in love with these white reindeer the second I saw them! The silver antlers with realistic-looking white fur and frosted wreaths would look beautiful on a mantle all winter. Item 9— Mamma Bear with Baby White Woodland Figurine by naturevibe And here is another figurine from the same shop—a mama bear with a cub riding on her back. How adorable is this! This piece has the same realistic-looking fur as the deer and is about 12.6” high. Item 10— Set of 3 Blue and Silver Velvet Christmas Stockings by New Traditions Simplify Your Holiday Store Aren’t these Christmas stockings elegant?! They are 20” long with dark blue velvet fabric, taffeta piping, and silver sequin vines… Item 11— Blue and Silver Velvet Christmas Tree Skirt by New Traditions Simplify Your Holiday Store And they match this tree skirt made of the same material with the same snowflake and swirls design. This velvet tree skirt is an ample 48” in diameter. Item 12— Large Blue and White Christmas Bow by Hying I found these beautiful blue and white bows with snowflake designs and thought they’d make festive tree toppers or decorative bows for railings, doors, or banisters. The bows are a substantive size at 19.6” x 11.4”. Item 13— White Satin 2.5” Wide Wired Ribbon with Silver Snowflakes by the CT CRAFT LLC Store Staying with the snowflake design element, this white satin ribbon with silver snowflakes could be used to deck out your Christmas tree, banisters, or even gifts.

Item 16— 7.5ft Flocked Artificial Christmas Tree by the Goplus Store This blue, white, and silver color scheme goes best with a frosted tree, so we’ll end this list with this 7.5-foot flocked Christmas tree.

As always, I doubled the original recipe (link at the end of this blog) to accommodate my family of five… Ingredients: 3 cups brown rice 32 oz chicken broth 2 lb cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined 1 stick butter, cut in half 2 tsp minced garlic Seasoning: 3 tsp paprika 2 tsp salt 1 tsp black pepper 1 tsp onion powder 1 tsp oregano 1 tsp cayenne 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes Mix spices in a bowl. Divide in half. In a large pot, melt butter. Add garlic and saute just a little (20 seconds or so). Add uncooked rice and half of the spice mixture. Stir well to mix and coat the rice. Add in chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 15 minutes or until rice is just about cooked. Melt butter in a separate pot. Mix cooked shrimp (I bought precooked, deveined) with butter and the second half of the spices. Make sure the shrimp is evenly coated. Heat through for just a couple of minutes. Add heated shrimp to rice and mix. Cover and heat together for a couple more minutes. (Don’t overcook the shrimp or burn the rice.) The first time I tried this recipe, I purchased raw shrimp. Maybe I am being lazy, but I found the process of removing shells to be time-consuming. The next time I tried the same recipe, I opted for pre-cooked shrimp. You can use either brown or white rice in this dish. Just as an FYI, this dish is very spicy! If you don’t like spicy foods, you may want to use fewer spices—or even a different combination of spices—according to your preferences. The third time I cooked this dish, I added leftover cooked broccoli. It turned out to be a delicious variation of this dish!
