Winter Light, Kjerstis Lykke , and snow days

We've had snow for the past few days, which this year with Rich working in education, means snow days!!!! I totally love it. I think I'm more excited about them now than I even was as a kid. They are magical, especially now that I notice things like how beautiful the light is when it snows.

Beautiful winter light always reminds me how much I love northern European and Scandinavian interiors. And ever since discovering Kjerstis Lykke (above), I'm 100% more smitten... and I was a little crazy in love to begin with. She is a total beast. Her photographs are incredible at capturing that crisp magical light, and her beautiful Norwegian home with all its simple natural and rustic industrial touches are a little what I picture homes in heaven to be like :)

Well, back in reality, we've been having our own little chilly version of heaven...

complete with winter light...

snow forts....

 the occasional power outage ( afterall it isn't heaven yet), but even so everybody has managed to stay cozy...

and well fed...
