Since it is officially November and the busy bustle of the holiday season will soon mean no parking spots at the mall, I thought it would be fun to take a mini hiatus from normal blogging and spruce up my posts with some merriment! So from now until Christmas I will try to share things that I hope will inspire you to make the most of your holidays this season. If you have any ideas or want to see me post about something specific, feel free to e-mail me your thoughts at:

So Today, I'm sharing some inspirational ideas on how to make your home more cozy for the upcoming months:
1)
Put a Knit on it
nothing says warm and cozy like a nice cabled knit. Now you can find this cold weather staple on more than just your sweaters! Check out these awesome knitted additions for the home. The knitted candles would make an awesome gift as well.

2) Add a Little Light
Ah, those multi-colored Christmas lights. Got to love them. But what if you are looking for something a little more playful and modern and not so um..."bright"? These next few examples are great ways lighten up the mood in your home and really wow your house guests this season.
| | | Here is unique way of using those strands of battery operated LED
lights. You can find them at your local craft store. Try suspending them
in interesting groupings like this one by using clear tacks pressed into the wall and clear fishing line. | | |
 |
| A giant snowball? No but almost as good! This lamp would look
stunning as a modern centerpiece over a table! Or better yet, hung
directly above your Christmas tree like a floating star! You can buy it here. |

How gorgeous would this modern menorah
be on your table? You could put red and green candles in it to make it a
little more whimsical. Or mount just the branch on the wall when your
not using it and it would be a stunning piece of wall candy.
|
3) Give a Warm Welcome
The first thing your holiday guests are greeted with when they visit your home is of course the front door. So why not welcome guests with an inviting door piece? These are some especially warm and fuzzy door huggers for you to consider.

A fluffy felted wreath! Fun and
playful, this wreath would look stunning on both a painted door and a
pure white one. This one is from Anthropologie.

A giant hanging snowflake that's super easy
to DIY too! Wow! I might have to make this one! What if you painted it
lime green for a modern twist? Or you could put photos behind the open
cut outs in the middle. I feel like there are lots of possibilities for
this one! Learn how to make this snowflake here.

 |
| Don't forget about the floor too! With the snowy weather comes muddy
feet, so keep your entrance way looking both stylish and clean with this
simple yet pretty door mat. Buy a similar one here. |
 |
| Or if you want to go the DIY route, here is an awesome tutorial by A Beautiful Mess.
I think I'm going to try this one out myself :) Also, Ikea sells a
verrrry cheap coconut husk type door mat that could easily be used for
this and other door dressing projects just fyi. |
 |
Now this is an amazing wreath by Rooted in Succulents.
A real living work of art! How amazing would it be to walk up your
front steps and be greeted by this unique masterpiece? Completely
breathtaking! Your guests would never make it past the door!

Hope this helps your holidays be a bit more Merry and Bright!
