I am not ready for the cold weather to set in – summer
was just too short! But it’s coming anyway, so we
may as well do some things to make our rooms really cozy!
- Arrange your collectibles around your home so that
like items are together. Use trays to add cohesion – and
group anything that makes you feel good! Special gifts,
souvenirs, or anything else that warms your heart will always
make a nice arrangement.
- Paint your walls a warm color.
There are beautiful shades of golds and reds available – both
sure to warm you during the cold snows.
- Instead of getting rid of that tired piece of furniture,
paint it! That will bring an instant lift to any
room.
- Replace the light bulbs in your lamps with the energy saving
spiral bulbs. The light is much softer and warmer,
and they last up to five years!
- Make your bedroom a cozy refuge. Add lots of
pillows to your bed, layer quilts, and add an extra layer to
your bedskirt by placing a nice sheet, tablecloth or blanket
on top of the bedskirt but under the mattress.
- Give your kitchen and/or baths a quick update by changing
cabinet knobs, faucets, and towels.
Replace the plastic shower curtain with a simple-to-launder natural
fiber one.
And make yourself comfortable as you plan next summer’s
garden! |
