Welcome to the Cozy Winter Homes Blog Hop hosted by Amber of Follow the Yellow Brick Home.
If you're following along in order, then you were just at Decor to Adore -
Laura has such a great style.
This is a typical January view in my neck of the woods so I had to look back at old posts to see what I usually do to make our house cozy after Christmas.
For January, the common theme over the last 7 years of blogging was flowers.
Be they fresh, faux or dried - flowers appear in every room so come on in and check out my winter flower displays.
You might question my use of these particular faux flowers for winter,
but presently both blue and yellow flowers are growing in our garden.
Flowers brighten up the white entry -
tulips and chamomile are a perfect touch
as are dried roses.
I am constantly changing up the flowers on the dining room table - these are from the garden.
But garden flowers are limited this time of year
I am constantly changing up the flowers on the dining room table - these are from the garden.
But garden flowers are limited this time of year
so weekly visits to Trader Joe's provide lovely colorful blooms for the dining room.
Like the entry, the kitchen is mostly white and flowers add the perfect bit of color.
Chamomile fills a fun pitcher on the kitchen counter
and garden flowers dress up the kitchen shelves.
Flowers appear throughout the guest room - on the shelves, on the nightstand and even in the pattern of the new bedspread.
My grandmother's rocker sports a teapot full of faux greenery
and dried roses adorn a little dresser.
Faux hydrangeas are perfect next to our bed.
Dried roses and greenery appear in the hallway.
This cozy spot on the sofa has been lovely on the cold days we have actually had this winter, but my fern was not thriving sitting right beneath the heater vent
so I replaced it with more faux hydrangeas.
The fern now sits atop one of my father's old tool boxes.
As you can see, it's a lovely day so let's head outside to see how I've cozied up the garden.
Fresh flowers from the garden sit atop a table on the porch.
A visit to the nursery filled up Steve's wheelbarrow and I have my work cut out for me in the garden this week.
And now I'll send you off to visit Cecilia of My Thrift Store Addiction.
I hope you enjoy all the other blogs on the hop.
