Winter in the Farmhouse


After the rich color of autumn followed by the fullness of holiday decor, The Farmhouse is ready to breathe a little. Winter decor should be cozy, but gentler, don't you think? Kind of warm and welcoming and "come and sip a cup of tea"-ish. Maybe a few bits of nature reflecting what is just outside the door. 

Have a peek around. I even have a cup of tea there for you. :)

















What is your house like in the wintertime? Do you let it rest?

    I might let it rest too much as in not dusting or vacuuming enough. LOL. I love the photo of the tea steaming! Your home looks winter comfortable...

    Everything shouts "Cozy!" Well, maybe not the pinecones. ;-)

    Very homey and welcoming. I notice that you have a trunk...I love trunks. I learned a lot about mine with the help of taking macro pics and reading the information imprinted on the latch. I learned my trunk was made in Connecticut in 1879 or something.

    All your touches are soothing and restful. I feel the calm. Beautiful shot of your steamy cup of what looks like interesting spice tea. And the trunk--we had one like that for many years--oh how I loved it.

    I do like this period of rest for the house and us before the busyness Spring brings. I love all your warm and inviting touches, it is so comforting.

    I always pare down the decor after Christmas. I have a few more garlands to take down - I had left them up at the request of my children, but I am getting ready for them to be down!

    Have a wonderful weekend friend.

    Very pretty, Cheryl. I am a huge fan of sheep, so of course I love that little sheep and the sheep on the tin punched lantern. AND, we have a similar trunk in front of our sofa with almost identical remote controls on it, plus a little knitting and some books on England. :-)) Have a wonderful weekend. Your home looks lovely.
