A Cosy Norwegian Country Cottage At Christmas

Ready for something very cosy and a little Christmassy today? You might remember photographer Hilde Mork’s beautiful rural Norwegian home from a feature I wrote about it just before midsummer. I’ve been dreaming about her lovely cottage ever since. Today, I thought it would be nice to revisit Hilde’s home to celebrate the start of my favourite month of the year – December (birthday month!) and see how it looks in Winter time. As you can imagine, her little cottage in the small hamlet of Nesodden, near Oslo (which she shares with her two children) is as hyggeligt as can be! Surrounded by snow, the cottage is lit with the warm glow of a wood burning stove and advent candles flickering in the window. A fir tree has been chopped down in the forest and awaits outside the door and scattered stars hint that ‘Jul‘ is near. Welcome to Hilde’s cosy, sheepskin-lined home!

How beautiful.
I can so imagine hunkering down there today by the fire, how about you?
There’s evidence of what Hilde does in her spare time throughout the cottage – from the woodshed (imagine the amount of effort it took to chop up all that wood?) and dragging a Christmas tree home, to the homemade paper stars on the windowsill (see the DUY tutorial here) and knitting by the fire. Lovely hobbies – and perfect for when the snow falls gently outside! 
You can see more pictures of Hilde’s lovely home here – and take a peek at how it looks in the summer here (equally beautiful, just very different!). Hilde also has an online shop where she sells her prints and other items –  and her work is also available at The Poster Club* (ships worldwide), something for Christmas perhaps?
Shall we entertain ourselves with a few more cosy homes this cold and frosty 1st December morning?
Here are some of my favourites: 
And one for those of you in the southern hemisphere: the cosy Whale Song Shack
Happy 1st December!
