Creating A Cozy Home
I will show you how creating a cozing home is easier than you think!
I can’t tell you how much I love Christmas {a lot}. But I also can’t tell you how much I love when it’s all over!
As soon as Boxing Day comes, I’m itching to put all my Christmas decor away especially since every year it comes out earlier and earlier.
January seems like such a slower, cozier month which I love mostly because I’m a homebody and because it’s so cold outside.
So today I’m sharing with you parts of my beatiful home that are newly decorated with some gorgeous decor items and how I create a cozy home…according to me 😉
I love when adding just a few simple touches make a room cozy. I added a whisper grey soft knitted throw to my couch.
I brought in a pitcher from my dining room and used it as a vase..adding some beautiful white and green hydrangeas.
Then I decorated the fireplace mantel with just a few simple items. It feels good to have a lot of white space after all the red Christmas decor.
I decided to keep the crocks there..because you all know how much I love my crocks!
And welcome my new piece of furniture a console table!!
I’m so excited about this piece of furniture. I’ve been looking around for a table like this for ages and finally bit the bullet and bought it at RH.
I like adding baskets to a rustic piece to make it a bit cozier.
I luuurve these little cotton balls! I have no idea what to call them because they are from my BBFF Jenna from way down South and I’m up here in Canada so we rarely see them! Don’t they look cozy??
I love keeping my rustic/industrial/French look with just a few touches of homespun coziness.
Here’s a room in my house you’ve never seen before. And it’s just a sneak peek 😉 Welcome to my bonus room!
If you’ve been following my dining room adventures, you’ll notice that this was in my dining room. Well, I’ve been wanting it up here for awhile, hence, the new piece of furniture in my dining room.
Oh..and look at this….new lamps too!!
I just got these beautiful mercury glass lamps from Kirkland’s online. I’m so happy with them! And the price was ah-mazing.
In my master bedroom, I’ve been changing it up a bit with some pretty indigo.
The pillows are from RH and the throw is from Indigo {ha, an indigo throw from Indigo!}.
{the pillows are nearly sold out at RH and the throw has sold out at Indigo}.
What about you? Have you been cozying up your home this January?
Hey Jamie- ha. Living in the south,I had to laugh at your comment about the cotton!:) Love all the pieces that you brought in to cozy up your already gorgeous space. enjoy the winter season.
haha Laura. Thanks so much for your sweet comment!
Hugs,
Jamie

So pretty and calm, I love it! Also I just happen to have a brand new book to read. So can I come over, curl up in the awesomeness and read it? lol just kidding but really it does just make me want to live in these pictures. 🙂
Please share where you got that rug, so perfect.
The mug is from Mohawk! Google Fancy Trellis rug from Mohawk and you should be able to find different stores that carry it, like Overstock.com or even Target.

Your home is so, so pretty! Calm and serene and definitely cozy. I’m with you that as much as I completely LOVE Christmas, it’s really January that becomes the time for just being together as a family and hibernating. You’ve created such beautiful spaces and I’m so thrilled to be part of this tour with you!
Yes, love January for that same reason! Thanks so much for your sweet comment.

Very cozy indeed! Where do you find the little vases?
HI Ali, those little vases are mercury glass candle holders and they were a gift. Sorry I can’t be more helpful.
