How do we create a cozy winter home? Today I'm sharing with you 5 ways to make that happen in your home. 1. Candles & Diffusers I love using candles and diffusers to make my home smell lovely and to add a layer of cozy to any space. Lit candles at the dinner table, a diffuser going in your bedroom at bedtime, lighting a candle while I'm doing the dinner dishes, these all are ways to create an atmosphere of cozy in our home and in our daily rhythm. My favorite candles are from Antique Candles and here and here is a link to a couple awesome diffusers. 2. Pillows & Throws Adding layers of cozy to any space can be done through pillows and throws. In my opinion, you can never have too many. My family loves to cuddle up with all the squishy, cozy pillows and blankets, whether we are watching a movie or chatting by the fire, they more then likely are cuddled up with a blanket. Making these available to the family makes for cozy, comfy home. These pillows … [Read more...]
