UPDATE: Enjoy this cozy project in the family room of our former home. We’ve moved and are giving our new-to-us home a complete remodel. I’ve completely changed my style! Click HERE to take a look.
When the temps drop low and there’s nowhere to go, I want nothing more than to cozy up at home in my pj’s. I don’t even want to put my big toe out the door if I don’t have to.
I have one little spot in my house that’s all mine, so I’ve cozied it up just the way I like it. 😀

It doesn’t take much to make me snug as a bug in a rug. All I need are some soft, squishy pillows a fuzzy cuddly throw and my warm little lap puppy.
And of course, a good cup of my fave hot chocolate is appreciated too!
I spend quite a bit of time in this little corner of my world. This is where I blog, where I have my quiet time and where I watch tv.
So I put together a wintery vignette to give me something pleasing to enjoy while I’m snuggled up here.
I broke down and purchased this white fluted bowl from Pier I. It makes a great container to fill with faux greenery and wintery leaves and berries.
In my book, greenery isn’t just for the holidays. It’s perfect to use as part of my winter decor. And the soft green leaves and white berries support the winter theme.
Here’s a peek from the top so that you can see how I just poked and layered all of the stems together.
A cute paper church has a place of prominence in the vignette when placed atop a stack of books.
My books were different colors, so I wrapped them with white paper and tied the bundle with some jute twine.
Too bad you can’t see that as I’m writing to you, I’m sitting in this very spot – all snuggled up with my throws and pillows, my computer in my lap and my warm lap puppy snuggled up just as close to me as she can possibly get.

All three items were super easy to make and the total cost was only $5.50!
Thank you for stopping by.

Hi Suzy, there’s nothing cozier that having our fur babies close by! I often have a kitty on my lap as I’m blogging! Your spot is as cozy as can be. I am crushing on that white bowl with the ruffled edge and I’m so glad you told where you got it! Love that cardinal pillow, too. Stay warm and cozy! 🙂
Suzy – I love that Cardinal pillow! Your little cozy spot is just perfect for these cold winter days!
I love the pop of red in your cozy spot! I am always so sad when I take down the Christmas decor, keeping some red in with the plaids and cardinals is a great way to keep it cheerful. Pinning!
So pretty and cozy! You sound like me…..cozy spot, pooch and cup of cocoa and good to go with blogging duties! I always love seeing your home and use of color. I’m a color girl, too! ~Christy
I agree that greenery is not only for Christmas!! I’m fortunate enough to be surrounded by it, and take advantage of that in my decorating!! I love your beautiful home & it has got me excited to make my own little “corner” to get cozy!! Thank you!
I love how you mixed the red and white with the cheery cardinal theme. Your spot looks cozy and comfortable, for sure!
HI Suzy,
Not only do we share the same name but we share the love of red in our decorating. Your room looks so inviting and I want to just cuddle up in those throws on the sofa! Thanks for letting me “visit” your home.
I wish I was sitting there next to you as we chat the day away talking about crafting and sewing and decorating and blogging. 😀 Soon, my friend, Soon. Have a good weekend. xxoo, Barb
What a great place to be warm a snuggly and the pups sure help with that don’t they??? Love the Cardinal pillow too.
Cynthia
Love your cozy spot and pretty winter vignette Suzy! I’m also a poodle mommy and where ever there is a warm and snuggly throw lying around the house is where you’ll find my little guy too : )
What happened? I wrote more than Hi 🙂 lol…..anyway I will start again I guess haha, just wanted to say thank you for this give away and the $100 gift card would really help me make my home look loved again, we have had some major set backs. I also LOVE that pillow!! 🙂
I love your bright red home accents–so warm and bright for this dreary January weather. Your dog looks like the perfect ‘cozy’ friend too! Happy to be on the Cozy Home Tour with you!
