Cozy {Winter Home} Tour

The Christmas decorations are all packed away.

It's always an adjustment for me to see the house without them,

because it can seem a little barren and "cold".

How do you warm things up in the middle of winter?

Candles are a must! One votive and one pillar candle warm up the entryway vignette.

Windows with the sun shining in fill a room with light and warmth. Vintage luggage stores our individual throws.

There might be 2 at the bottom that don't match the color scheme,

so it's a good way to keep them out of sight, 

but still within reach.

The mantle gets a wintery look with feathers, antlers, old family photos, and more candles. 

Votives of different sizes, shapes, and even 

2 silver plated baby cups hold tea lights. 

A little fire and candlelight always warms up a space.

A cozy home is not only one that is physically warm,

but one where others feel welcome, comfortable and invited.

A home is also a safe haven for the family to gather,

regroup and spend time together after a long day.

Crock pot meals and soup are a wintry staple at our house.

While you may be sipping hot cocoa, we like to snuggle in the Living Room with our throws, while slurping
 chocolate and crushed peppermint milkshakes.

The couch is the perfect place to grab a magazine, 

a throw and relax.
The little bird keeps the stack of magazines in order.

I enjoy finding decor items that are reasonably priced, check out some of my tips here.

Now to the Master Bedroom.

 The painted Armoire is still a favorite piece that was transformed

with AS Chalkpaint.

I decided to make my own "blingy" antler mount. 

I'll be sharing the how to's in a later post.

I love the mixture of masculinity and femininity in our bedroom.

The sitting area is inviting with the sun streaming in behind.

This is where I blog, edit photos, and have quiet time.

 Pillows, glorious pillows and a fur throw...

 This Mongolian lamb pillow is as luscious as it looks,
and who wouldn't want to relax in a tufted chair?

The Master Bath

 A hot bath, fluffy towels, a soft bathmat, 

epsom salts and candles is how I like to end a long wintry day.

The Back Porch

If I put the guitar out on the back porch, do you think he'll come out and play for his Momma?

The fire pit is soon to be our family "kum-ba-yah" 

favorite spot to hangout.

Isn't he the cutest? Love that teenage boy, who plays guitar for me!

Thank you for stopping by to see our cozy home
 here in South Texas.

I'll be showing more of our Master Suite so check back! Better yet, follow me by email, so you won't miss a thing. Y'all stay warm!
