Scan Magazine | Design | We Love This
We love this… The month of Christmas is upon us. Presents are to be bought and traditional foods are to be made for the whole family. But do not forget to pamper yourself and make your home bright and cosy with candles and Christmas decorations. We love the Scandinavian winter décor in all its simplicity and warmth.
