Keeping It Cozy This Winter

You can't change the weather, but you can change any room in your house into a warm and cozy space without spending a lot of money. Take advantage of the in-store Home Sales that are happening now! Here are a few ideas to get you started:

Turn that dull bedroom into a deluxe retreat by adding a few special touches. New bedding, sheets, blankets, and new fluffy pillows not only add comfort but adds new interest to the biggest focal point of the room, your bed!

Don't forget the bathroom. New towels, a plush new bath mat and a clean new shower curtain can turn an ordinary bathroom into your own private spa. Windex the mirror and light some new sented candles and take a warm relaxing soak.

Is a new sofa not in the budget? Don't worry. You can add new interest to that old sofa by using a new slip cover. There are so many new designs and colors to choose from that your options are limitless. Find new pillows and a matching throw on sales and that sofa will go from looking old and used to new and refreshed in no time.

Aroma therapy is so wonderful and now is a great time to try some new candle sents while they are on sale. Have you tried the reed diffusers? They're glass bottles that are filled with different sented oils, that you put a handful of reed sticks into. They are great for adding a subtle fresh sent to any room.

Can't afford new counter tops for your kitchen this winter? How about adding new color interest with fresh new place mats and napkins. It really can enhance the look of your every day dishes for not a lot of money. Place a beautiful bowl with fresh winter fruit, like tangerines, apples, pears or oranges, then dim the lights and light some new votives and your kitchen becomes just as cozy as the rest of your house.

So check out the sales, freshen up your nest and stay cozy!
