Musings on Creating a Cozy Home

August 22, 2025 · In: Interior Design, Weekend Guide

Hello, my beautiful friends!  What a wonderful time of year it is… just days away from the cozy season being in full swing and for me, the anticipation is nearly killing me!  I can’t stop thinking about the warm, furry blankets, the candlelight, the fire going in the fireplace, a pot of soup simmering on the stovetop, the cashmere sweaters, the nights in, the snuggles…. I could go on.  It’s such a sweet time of year, isn’t it?  It’s full of comfort and goodness and I’m about to explode just thinking about it all!  How is this not going to be the best season yet?  

On our list for the weekend I’m waffling between making either Kanelsnegle, or Cinnamon Snails, if you translate it directly from Danish… or Kanelsboller, which are cinnamon buns topped with pearls of Swedish sugar.  I’ve got a walnut and cranberry loaf rising in the kitchen right now, which is really good because everyone devoured the focaccia I made yesterday evening!  

I’ve got the brown velvet curtains to test out in the dining room and since temps are dipping into the 60’s with rain, I won’t feel guilty at all for making a truffle risotto.  I can’t wait to set the table and pull out the games… and basically get this cozy season started right away!

I hope that you, too, have cozy plans for the weekend ahead!  Whatever you choose, I hope your days of full of warmth and hope and love!  A big hug to each of you and a kiss for each cheek! xxV

😭😭it’s just so good! 🍂 🎃 🐶 Comm 😭😭it’s just so good! 🍂 🎃 🐶 

Comment FALL to get the links! (& find more inspo!) 

Guys!! I’m so happy right now I’m about to cry! The cuteness factor is off the charts!! I’m so excited to see our vision for our fall porch come together complete with pumpkins from the pumpkin patch!! 

And can we talk about Louis in his adorable fall sweater?! And the wreaths (they are faux!!!) and the lanterns and the flickering pumpkins?!!! 

If you could die from cuteness overload I’d be a goner! Hahaha but thankfully it looks like I’ll be holding on for a few more days and greeting our kids as they come home for fall here and it won’t be long and this will be getting a little Halloween overlay for trick or treaters! 

To me, these are the greatest moments of life. Creating a home that says “welcome home!” I hope in our own little way we can inspire you as well! As always, sending so much love from our home to yours! XxV
