How to Decorate Alpine Chalet Style


Swiss chalet's are so beautifully built with all of the detailing put forth in the stair rails and interior moldings and beams.  Each chalet is unique in that each carpenter creates a certain design that is carried out throughout the house on a bathroom door or over a window or in the chairs for the dining table.  Below are a few ideas to use if you are looking into buying and decorating your own swiss chalet or mountain house!

Custom built bunkbeds and reading nooks make a mountain home very cozy.

Nordic designed pillows

Toile patterns with a playful trim along the edge make it less serious.
 
Fabulous candelabra for those candlelit dinners after a long day on the slopes.

Use cutlery that relates to bones or twigs for bringing the wildlife indoors.

 
Elk salt and pepper shakers.


Warm pewter coffee serving pieces



Navajo style rugs


Artwork with dogs, birds, or wild animals.



Multi-colored and patterned carpet help to hide the dirt that is inevitable in the mountains.




Fun ski figurine bedding for the children!


Beautiful red and white blanket to stay warm!

Apres Ski Attire

What to pack??  I am undauntedly going through all of my alpine gear to pull together the perfect attire for this week long trip.  Let me know if you have already hit the slopes this year, and know of any new trends for apres ski time!

 Maybe I can convince my husband to stop by Gucci in the village since we will be there over Valentines day.

Great warm boots made out of Coyote!

I have this pink coat to wear with my white Bogner pants.  I think pink is a great way to change it up from the regular Norwegian red,white, and black. 


Lululemon running pants to wear underneath those ski pants to keep your muscles snug and warm.


Don't take chances with any other sock brand other than Smartwool.  They come in these nice Nordic styles too!


Debating on buying one of these chic Voss sweaters from Gorsuch.  They look so warm!



Love this outfit for a day off the slopes shopping and socializing at Ajax Tavern!
