Blogger Maria Sandberg of Lilla Villa Vita lives with her husband, two sons, and dog in a fairytale house in southern Sweden. Every winter, she takes advantage of a white landscape to deck the house (and the garden gazebo) in greenery and candlelight. Let’s pay a Christmas visit:

Above: Built in 1909, Lilla Villa Vita is a house in Kristianstad in southern Sweden (closer to Copenhagen, Denmark than to Stockholm).
Above: The wreath and garlands of spruce boughs came from florist Dennis Blommor in nearby Ahus.

Above: “The table below is my little nature table, with treasures from nature and forest,” says Maria.
Above: A dash of red: “I like to decorate from nature,” says Maria, who decorated with apples from a neighbor’s tree.
Above: A birdbath becomes “a little candy table instead” when it’s too cold for birds to bathe.
Above: More red. The garden gazebo, dressed up for the holiday season.
