    We start bringing in small Christmas additions from December 1. The tree goes up mid December. The 'feel' continues into the New Year and Orthodox dates are included. It will all be ceremoniously removed on January 8. I keep one small metal tree out all year - as a reminder that Christmas good will is not restricted to one time of the year. Best wishes for 2022.

    In New Orleans, where I live it is tradition to leave the Christmas up and lit up until twelfth night to light the way for the 3 wise men to find the manger. Then twelfth night is the beginning of the Mardi Gras season that ends on Fat Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday.

      Here in the UK it's the same - 6th January (Epiphany). Tho not really correct to say 'Three' Kings as nowhere in the Bible does it say there were 3 Kings (or Wise Men/Magi) just that they brought Jesus 3 gifts! There may have been many more than 3.

    Stay with the lighter finish on the wardrobe because the room is a smaller room. Dark wood will eventually make the room feel smaller. Also with the dark curtains and brown pops in the room, from the white walls to the dark brown will seem like a gradient from light to dark. 🙂 It will be cosy not matter what you choose! Happy New Year to you all, Fenris and Grim, too! 🎉

      I think if the lighter ones are chosen, defo go with the tetris combo on the walls. I think it will need a bit of a pop about it. I am not sure if you can get the cupboards as open but it might be a cool way to display stuff, if you wanted and could do that.

    Yes, you're back!!!
    About the "Ikea room plan" I think it will make the room look too small and cluttered, honestly.
    I think the secret to make it more filled and beautiful it's on frames! Simple frames with some of your amazing, strong photos from svalbard and Grim and the room will look amazing with a night sky filled with stars, Svalbard by night, grim in a mountain, etc...

  • @eileencarroll6418
    @eileencarroll6418 2 роки тому +2

    I like the L shape wardrobe. . I like it because it balances the asymmetrical visual mass of the windows and drapes in the opposite corner.
    If you want to make the room more symmetrical, Hang the drapery across the entire wall behind the bed (would need to add a short headboard to support your pillows when your bed is out in front of the drapery). Then balance that with full height, wall to wall wardrobe cabinets opposite the drapery wall.
    If you have an option for a glass door finish, that would reflect light almost like a mirror. But I also really like the warmth of the vertical wood texture. VERY IMPORTANT: Whatever you choose, remember to attach those accent lights IKEA makes for the tops of wardrobes. That would create dramatic shadows, warmth and light on the wood texture doors.
    At the wardrobe base, the more floor you can see UNDER the wardrobe, the bigger the room will feel because a room feels like it ends where you see the floor end. The reverse optical illusion can be true too. If the front of the wardrobe goes all the way down to the floor, the room feels like it ends at the wardrobe-- about 18" narrower. If the wardrobe you like does not have legs, consider adding legs or hanging the wardrobe from the wall using very strong brackets and cleets. Getting furniture off the floor makes cleaning easier.
    If you hang your existing mirror opposite the room entrance, it will reflect the image of the wardrobe, suggesting that the room visually continues. This effect is even more dramatic if wardrobe lights are also reflected. And it would give you a nice mirror to check your clothing after you get dressed.
    Good luck with your wardrobe project.

    • @SharonCullenArt
      @SharonCullenArt Рік тому

      @@shamelesshussy yes some also believe it to be 2 months. Spending 2 years in a manger in Bethlehem is a bit hard to fathom though and aside from this tradition, the coming of the wise men is placed so soon after the birth, and before the presentation in the Temple, the more important are these: first, "now when Jesus was born" (Matthew 2:1), implies that the one event speedily followed the other. Second, directly after the presentation, Jesus went with His parents to Nazareth (Luke 2), and that therefore the presentation must have been preceded by their visit. Thirdly, at the coming of the Magi, Herod first heard of the birth of Jesus, but if the presentation at the Temple had previously taken place, he must have heard of it, as it had been made public by Anna (Luke 2:38). The fact remains that in western Christianity it has been celebrated since Middle Ages. It is said that the magi had a ten day journey. But the journey to Nazareth was not said to be 2 years later.

    I love to undecorate and clean up too! I suggest the lighter wood for your wardrobe area. Two tall units but one on each end with a smaller tv type stand between, and two or three small boxes connecting them across the top. In the blank rectangular area between you could place a mirror. I always prefer symmetry. 😀

    Happy New Year from Kentucky. I was thinking that your bed would look better on the opposite wall where your black stand is now and then he's up against the wall you have room for a little nightstand beside the bed and then you have that whole other wall going down into an l-shaped wall to do storage and maybe put a little bench at the end of the bed to put on your shoes, or just leave the chair near the window but that would open up the space so when you walked in you'd have access all around the bed. I've dabbled in interior design all my life I love stuff like this.. form function and design are so much fun. Maybe you can get visitation rights for the dog once they come back :-)

    Dear Cecilia - I'm here to affirm for you that you already talked yourself to a decision about which Ikea wardrobe to choose: BJÖRKÖVIKEN in dark brown! :D You know that's your fav style because you just chose it for TV room. You also said several times you love the color brown in your bedroom. And you confirmed you did not like the trendy fishbone style, nor anything in white, and you didn't want to copy the TV room exactly. I say look at what Christoffer would move there (generally how many hanging things vs. how many folded things) and then plan which layout you need from there. You might need two tall cabinets to fit his stuff. Happy New Year!!

    I'm with you Cecilia. I can't wait to get my house back to normal. In my case I like to have it all down before the New Year so I take it down on the 30th. May sound silly, but I don't want to take the old year into the New Year, so by taking everything down before New Year's eve I feel like it's a clean start to the New Year. Wishing you, Christopher and Grimm a very happy and healthy New Year!

    On the bedroom wardrobe if you are not opposed to doing it in a darker color like the table in the room, not exactly same but just to add some warmth. Some do not like anything darker in there place so not sure what you think. A wood color dark enough to feel warm but not to dark it bothers you later is the good pick. Maybe you can find a real wardrobe to add the feel of wood furniture. Be safe and hope you all have a happy new year. Fenris is such handsome older man, it is very nice to see he still wants to play and get his heart going every day.

    I think the first version of the wardrobe is lighter for your Bedroom. I personally don't like all dors closed, so I'd like to play with door/no door. For example In the lower ones you can put one drawer in each, then a shelf on top of it (so nothing falls in) and so you have space for a basket or books... -
    My uncle has it quite simular to your Idea: Its (from left to rigth)
    Above: 3x 60x40x38 then one of these on top of the big 190 wardrobe.
    Next row left (under the small 40 dept) a 60x20x64 with a glas shelf
    On the bottom 3x 60x40x64) - if it's fits.
    And if you put a "Picturshelf" like Mosslanda in the middle - you always are able to switch your Picures easy.
    I hope there are some Ideas - I work at ikea ;)

    This is going to sound a bit strange but…
    On Christmas Eve my Chihuahua passed away unexpectedly. She had been fine the day before, but on that last day she was struggling to breathe. I rushed her to the emergency veterinary hospital and was told she had something called Pulmonary Oedema and was in heart failure.
    She was 13 years old and my heart is absolutely broken.
    However, despite being a completely different breed, Grimm reminds me of her so much. He has a very similar coat colour and length to hers, his facial expressions are the same, the way he wags his whole body and flattens his ears when greeting you with a toy.. it’s all so much like my dog.
    I’ve found myself rewatching the Grimm parts just so I can feel close to her again.
    It’s been a pretty awful Christmas and New Year for me but seeing Grimm puts a much needed smile on my face so thank you x

    I'm thinking the walnut would work best. I like those textured doors, too. It would give that wall some interest along with whatever configuration you come up with for the smaller cabinets/cubbies. Though, did you see the concrete effect doors? Those are kind of cool, too, and would tie in with your bathroom. They're available here in the States, so I have to assume they'd be available there, too! They have them on the white Bestaa units and that looks nice. Too many choices! LOL

I have a huge white Ikea table in my bedroom where I keep my hepa filter on and a few other things I use daily. Glad to see Christopher doing more cooking segments in 2022 and you both working together. Same schedule and will free up time so you can go on adventures during the week. So many good things to come.Love the channel. Keep doing what you both do. Love & Light.

I am in the cleaning mood as well, going through my stuff and trying to get a fresh start on the new year, Even though the dark brown is really pretty for the cabinets, having a full wall will make the room feel smaller, I would suggest the light cabinet with dark brown accents, maybe some open shelves with dark brown accents to tie in the colors.
