I love Christmas for so many reasons but especially because it's a chance to add some extra sparkle to my apartment. White and silver decorations accented by the warm light of candles (and of course fairy lights) look so pretty! Every year the decoration in my apartment spreads a little further. This year the Mr and I had a Christmas craft night when we made our own initial shaped tree ornaments and a DIY table centrepiece using pine cones and a lot of white glitter. It was so simple to do but I love the end product. I'm so pleased with how our living room has come together this year so I thought I'd give you guys a little peek at it.

Christmas At Mine

A Sunny Sunday At Mine // First World, Songdo
12 March 2012
Yesterday morning was one of those blissfully peaceful mornings. We ate poached eggs for breakfast with fresh white toast and sat on the couch sipping hot coffee whilst the sun streamed in our apartment windows. I wish every morning was Sunday morning!
I remembered that I promised I would give you a sneak peek of our new place soon, so I took a few pics to share with you now.

We're still getting settled into the place. But we're already in love with the views over the park below, something that we really love about Songdo is the abundance of outdoor space.
My fiance and I both have quite similar taste when it comes to furnishing our apartment. He mainly leaves it up to me though. His only request was that this one was more 'manly' than our last apartment. I guess I'd inadvertently made the last one quite feminine, ooops!
We already had the couch and TV table so I'm planning to base the colour scheme around those things. I prefer a neutral look of creams, black and brown. I've already added some touches of silver I had from our previous apartment (and the flowers) to give it just that hint of girlyness that I love. I'm still looking for a big floor lamp for this room and something to fill the walls but apart from that it's just small trinkets and soft furnishings that it needs. They're something that can easily be accumulated with time though.
At about 3pm we started to feel guilty for not doing anything! So, just to keep our consciences clear, we got ready and headed out for a walk in the park. We'd been deceived by the blue skies though, it was minus five degrees centigrade! We weren't dressed for that so the walk got put on hold and we headed for coffee instead. Not very exciting but still a perfect relaxing Sunday for me.
What's your perfect Sunday like?
