    Comfortable Casual Spaces

    Today I just feel like being comfy and cozy and want my home to feel the same way! Here’s some inspiration for making your home feel a little more comfy:
    Blankets and pillows are a must for me!
    Less clutter and more warmth. Natural light, fresh flowers, and something you love. Keep it simple.
    This picturesque porch was made for glasses of iced tea and shooting the breeze on summer evenings. Black rockers echo the home's dark trim and connote throwback comfort in a slightly more modern silhouette, amplified by ikat pillows in black and white.:

    Even your outdoor space can feel comfortable! Make it a place you’d love to curl up and watch the world go by.
    It might seem difficult to make a formal dining room comfy but it can be done. It can be as simple as a rug on the to give it that soft texture.
    If the kitchen is your sanctuary, let it be! Make room for you where you are the most comfortable. 
    What part of your house is the place you go when you need comfort? Let me know in the comments below!
  • Preparing your home for cold weather!

    Preparing your home for cold weather!

    We always talk about what home decor ideas would be great for fall but what about home maintenance? Before the cold weather sets in, get your home in check with these  things:
    Before it gets cold, go out and check all your outdoor lighting. Soon it will be dark earlier and you will most likely be using these lights more. Clean them up, change the bulbs, and get them prepped and ready for more use!
    All you need are 2 traditional rocking chairs and a place to set your cold ice tea.....or other beverage....and rock the afternoon away.:
    Simplify your porch, patio, and deck! With the leaves falling, the rain coming, the wind blowing, and soon to be snow, the less you have on your porch the better! Take away all the items that don’t do well with cold weather and keep the minimum.

    Check your windows and doors! Make sure they are sealed well inside and out and close properly. Weather is one thing that can really damage a home. It’s known for mold, wood rot, and pesky bugs and animals that decide your home is where they want to be! 
    From Mini Manor Blog. I love this organizational station for yard and garden supplies. The table (for potting) folds down so the car can come in. The smaller tools are in the bag begin the fern and the larger tools are hanging. Soil in bigger trash can.:
    Have easy access to your trash and recycle. Whether it’s in a garage or outside, make sure you have quick and easy access to it! It’s hard to keep a home clutter free and clean if you are having a hard time just getting your trash out of the house!
    Minimalist TV room... Probably not dog friendly but so pretty!!:
    Spring cleaning in the fall! Before the holiday’s come and it get’s so busy, get rid of all the clutter! Get your home ready for the holiday parties now. If you have time, do a deep clean! If not, just pick up all the extra pieces that are unnecessary in each room and make it feel fresh and new.
    What do you like to do to get ready for fall?

    Making Cozy Comfortable

    How can you make a room that’s labeled as “cozy” be comfortable? With minimal space and few options to fill that space, how to make it look like you actually want to spend time in there?
    Here are a few tips I have for making that transition from tiny to lovely.
    6 Gorgeous Small Bathroom Ideas That Will Have You At Hello!
    Take the room you have and add simple touches to make it feel like a home. A plant, a rug, a picture. Start small.
    Dedicate space for what you love. We spend so much time making our home look like magazines but if it isn’t what you want in your home or isn’t useful, don’t buy it! Buy what you love and what you need.
    Buy smart. One piece of furniture that you love, that fits the room is better than piecing together multiple pieces that may or may not work. Make smart choices that leave you with the best square footage and still comfy. 
    Be creative. Find pieces that have duel purposes and that provide you with more options, but also add character to the room.
    Small spaces can be fabulous, as you’ll see in these tiny balcony garden spots with moods that range from city sophistication to pure Zen.
    Keep it clean and fresh. Fresh flowers and clean blankets really can make a difference.
    How are you making your cozy space more comfortable?

    My Home Oasis

    I’ve been challenged to show off what I would consider an oasis in a home.
    A porch you never want to leave.
    Helsinki architect Ville Hara and designer Linda Bergroth collaborated on a prefab shed-meets-sleeping-cabin, which can be assembled with little else than a screwdriver. Bergroth, inspired by nomadic yurt-dwellers, wanted an indoor/outdoor experience for her property in Finland.

    Where even the restrooms feel relaxing and fresh!
    It could be anywhere and have anything! To me, a home that’s an oasis, is just a home that you never want to leave. Even if it’s as simple as the home you are currently in.

    Wood Touches

    In the winter I seem to struggle to keep the house feeling fresh and warm. Adding a touch of wood in a room is a great way to bring the outdoors in and give it that feel of warmth. Here are some beautiful ways to get you inspired:
