Warming Up The Family Room

Cold January days have inspired me to add lots
 of warmth to our family room.


~ snuggly pillows and warm throws ~


❄   ❄   ❄   ❄   ❄ 


~ lots of texture ~


❄   ❄   ❄   ❄   ❄ 


~ blankets and wood for the fireplace ~


~ candles, too ~


And I will be right here, cozy on the sofa with my ipad,
decorating books and a warm drink. 


It's a nice idea anyway, right?

I'm so very thankful that I have a warm home and
warm blankets and a warm drink!

~ I hope you are staying warm too ~

    Love all your cozy touches, JoAnne! I'm also thankful for things to warm me. I saw on the news tonight that there are still people on Staten Island without shelter or heat and they're living in heated tents with others to stay warm. Love your throws! I've been having a tough time finding ones I like that don't cost an arm and a leg. I've gotten one so far ...

    Everything looks so pretty. The soft blue looks so welcoming and snuggly. I'm thankful to live in the part of the country where it isn't that cold. :)

    I love the touches of blue you have added to your blue family room. It's a favorite of mine and I am adding more to our room since we have a new to us blue chair. Stay warm!

    I love how you've "winterized" your room. It looks so cozy and warm. We are snuggling in here too. It's just so cold outside it takes your breath away - not fun at all.

    Love this cozy room with all the baskets. I love the large basket, and they do add great texture. Love the curtains too.

Blue Kitchen Cabinets 2017

I have done a couple posts on kitchens with blue cabinetry in the past, after all it is my favorite color. It has been awhile though, so today I have rounded up some more  amazing kitchens with cottage style that also incorporate blue in  the design. source The kitchen above and the one below have white upper cabinets and soft shades of blue on the lower ones. This is a nice way to use blue without going overboard or ending up with something that you would get tired of quickly. source source Finding the right shade of blue would be key and using a lot of white and wood tones along with it creates a beautiful and timeless look. source source Isn't the kitchen above just so very unique? It has sort of a french country feeling but in an updated way. Wish there was a better picture of the script that's on the wall  on the right. source This kitchen is from Remodelondo la Casa and I've always thought the w

Family Room Reveal

Hello Everyone! I've been meaning to post about our updated family room for a very long time and I'm  finally doing it - yeah!! I had been ready to replace our brown leather furniture for a while and when a new Ikea opened very close to us last summer, I jumped at the chance to take a good look at their slipcovered furniture. Originally the plan was to buy another sofa and loveseat like we had but when I  saw the Ektorp sectional on the showroom floor at Ikea, I was sold.   It just seemed so cozy and I could really envision it in our family room. As you can see, we purchased the sectional with the white slipcover. You just can't beat the prices at Ikea and the quality is definitely good enough for us. I'm at a point where I don't want to buy expensive furniture that I feel like I have to keep forever.   We even had the sofa delivered and they took away the old sofa and loveseat  for a very small fee. We purchased this dre

AFFORDABLE WALL DECOR

Hi Everyone, One of the things I find the most difficult about decorating is finding wall decor that I like and is also affordable. That is one of the main things that I am always on the hunt for and sometimes I have to come up with some creative ideas. Just yesterday, I found this beautiful image of a  white hydrangea at The Graphics Fairy . The Graphics Fairy I printed it out in a size that would fit in a frame that  I already had.  I think it looks so pretty in the simple white frame. I'm probably going to hang it in our bedroom. I'm making a few small changes in there and I will show you when it's completed. This star is actually from the garden section of our local Meijer store.  It was originally silver metal and I spray painted it white. I have seen a lot of people decorate with bread boards. This one fit perfectly in the narrow space between my  cabinet and window and I love the warmth of the wood.  I love th
