Find refreshment for your heart, home and life
I have loved having window boxes at my upstairs windows. It’s easy in the summertime to know how to embellish them with beautiful annuals, but when winter comes, I struggle with knowing what to add, aside from Christmas greens.
One day I was perusing Pinterest when I saw an idea that caught my eye. I adapted the picture I found and came up with boxes that I’m loving! They’re like little winterscapes.

I bring in more soft lights to brighten dark corners and table tops. I think of ways to make things cozier in our living spaces. Last week I was straightening up the family room upstairs and I got to thinking about my small oak kitchen table downstairs. I wondered what it would be like to have it in the family room beside the window. It would be in the sunshine at lunchtime and then it could create a cozy inviting spot for supper. Would it be weird to have an eating space in the family room? I decided to give it a try!
