Cozyin' Up to Winter
Doesn't winter just make you want to light lots of candles? Me
too! Here are some more ideas to cozy up your home for winter!
Don't have a fireplace? Make a collection of similar colored
candles along a wall-mounted wide decorative ledge...it will
feel like a mantle. Hang a piece of art above it, and you have
really created that cozy fireplace feeling.
Do have a fireplace but don't want the hassles of burning wood?
Get that double row of candle holders that sit in the fireplace.
Being a wood fire aficionado, I was amazed the first time I lit
all of the candles at how much light they gave off and the
ambiance it added to the room. I was a candle girl from then on
and never looked back! If you group candles on a tray, remember
they're portable...they can go to whatever room you want to
cheer up. Don't forget the bathroom...nothing like a luxurious
soak in a tub of bubbles to the glow of candles, soft music and
your favorite "read". (Be sure to hang the "Do Not Disturb" sign
on the bathroom door!) Nestle candles into a shallow bowl filled
with sand, rice, pebbles, faux pearls or beads. Add faux fur
pillows or a throw to your sofa...so warm to the touch! Also use
it to snuggle under by the fire or watch a TV movie. They're
also a luxurious touch to a bedroom on the bed or a chair. You
can even use one on a chair in the entry to add a little drama
coming into your home.
Sleep on a king-size down pillow and drift off and wake up in
luxury. Add a down pad to the top of your mattress. (Anything
that creates the "B&B" feeling everyday is cozy not only for
winter but
all year long!) Get the biggest, softest cotton
bathroom rug you can find...the moment your toes touch that
softness, you will think you are at a spa. Chenille rugs are
great for that feeling and now come in more colors than white
and off white. Add some small accent lights to your home. You
know the kind...soft glow, don't take a lot of electricity but
add lots of coziness. Consider adding them to your entry,
bathroom or even kitchen island. Don't forget those highly
decorative nightlights you can indulge in now - choose from
fancy shades with beads, feather or faux fur trims. Exchange
some of your artwork with themes that make you feel cozy in
winter. A snowy scene can take you away to another place and
time. Place decorative colored glass items (vases, bowls, etc.)
so the daylight or candlelight catches them. Try window sills,
green house windows in the kitchen, and window ledges by the
tub. As you can see, there are an endless array of ideas that
can be used to create a cozy home. If you would like a" winter
design walk-through" for additional seasonal ideas, call One Day
