Julie I just want to say thank you sharing your lifestyle with us! I wish I would have been introduced to your style 15 years ago as a new wife. But I am sure glad I’ve found you now! The thing that I’ve learned from you is that our culture is telling us “more more”! When really the answer is to have less so we can live more! I love the way you honor your mother with her recipe! It’s precious! Again I’m so thankful for you sharing your home, but more than that, for teaching me that less is more and to embrace that in my life. And to throw out the cultural norm of “more”. God bless you and your family!
Hi Rachelle! I am endlessly grateful for your kindness! I myself am always navigating the less is more approach. In fact, I over-shopped a few weeks ago online and by the time it arrived I realized we didn't need it and I don't want more darling clothes that overstuff the girls' drawers and cute little boots that don't fit in their bins. It all consumes time when I'd much rather LIVE! The morale of the story is we can start today! I hope you and your family enjoy and incredible holiday season! It truly is the merriest!
What a breath of fresh air this video is. I am so sick of seeing over stuffed trees ..cocoa bars that are way over done and the SAME terrible Christmas songs on every video. Now to be POSITIVE haha. I love this and I love how simple it is. I also adore the shop you bought the laurel ornaments from. Its my new fav shop.
Thank you, Deborah! It's a fun place to relax and spend time together without distraction of tvs and technology! Hope you are enjoying a wonderful holiday season!
I can understand why the girls want to spend Christmas there! Their thyme wreath is so sweet. I love how bright and light-filled both of your homes are.
I love your tree! It goes perfectly with your style. Thank you for the videos. Happy Holidays to you and your family. Your girls are so lovely to see this time of year!
Beautiful. I love it. This is exactly what I wanted. One of my favorite touches is the framed recipe in your mom's handwriting. What a super idea for a gift! Very touching.
Your home is so beautiful. The decor is fresh and timeless. Can easily stay up past Christmas and slightly reworked into Winter decor. Thank you for sharing 🌲
Just found you! I love your beautiful, inspiring content! I can’t get over you decorated the dollhouse…genius and so magical! I have two daughters so this gives me ideas ❤
New subscriber here. Stunning home! I love the idea of framing a hand written recipe. I have some of my grandmother’s (Who was born in Sweden, by the way). I’m going to look through them!

@@susannovak8263 I understand. We English/Germans like a really FULL tree 😂. I have switched from lots of small ornaments to about a third the number of really large ornaments. I even hung 2 small wreaths on my tree. I enjoy the beauty and shape of the tree so much more now 😍. Tree aside, I love the Scandinavian look in decor. It’s amazing how you cam make a mostly white decor feel so cozy with use of natural wood, fur, natural elements like sticks and antlers ❤️❤️❤️

Hi Julie! Happy holidays! I’m new to your channel and I really love it! You had a video on the different shades of white paint. I want to paint my kitchen white, this is a kitchen that gets very little natural light. What color would you suggest? Also my cabinets are outdated, I antiqued them many years ago. I want to paint them white as well, so if I do the walls white I’m not sure what white to use on my cabinets?

Thank you! I love the simplicity of it as well!
That dollhouse is darling! ❤️
My youngest daughter, Isla, has so much fun playing with it!
This has so inspired me to decluttering the cutesy stuff and get more natural and minimalistic
That makes me so happy to hear! Thanks for following along, Donna
Beautiful. I love it. This is exactly what I wanted. One of my favorite touches is the framed recipe in your mom's handwriting. What a super idea for a gift! Very touching.

Awe thank you! That's the ultimate compliment!
I can’t for the life of me transition my decor to minimalism & I want to so badly 🙁
Absolutely loved this home tour, thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you!
Very nice video!

Nix on the “Charlie Brown” tree.
We Scandinavians like a sparse tree. We feel the simple and natural look is more elegant.

Hi Julie, where did you find the little trees that are in the girls bedroom and the nook under the stairs?
Love your style btw.

Hi Julie! May I ask where your dining tables are from? Both the indoor and outdoor ones 😍
I hope she answers but I think they might be from ikea.😇

I love your tree and the style. How tell is it? 6ft? 7ft?
Thank you! 7, I believe. Happy Holidays!
Audio was a struggle to hear I muted the video to see the pretty decorations
I'm sorry about that, but glad you were able to enjoy the decorations!
Music is too loud and audio is echoing. Looks nice but had to turn off the sound entirely. Too distracting.
Thank you for your feedback
I'm thinking this is their hear round decor, just saying...
What is our year round decor? I’m not sure I understand your comment.
What I think Auj is saying is the decor does not look like Christmas decor, it’s so simple and minimal you can easily use these touches year round😌
1:14 "Its refined, minimalistic aesthetic" she says while lighting 1:38 THIRTEEN candles.. *eyeroll* Americans...
