Having a place to unwind and relax is important. A home that feels warm and gives people a sense of belonging, but is also functional and beautiful is something that I aim for when decorating. I want my guests to get the inviting feel that says “Come and stay a while “.

Creating a cozy home doesn’t have to cost you a lot of money. You will probable have most of the things needed in your house somewhere already. It is all about using things to their full potential. I like to shop my house before heading out to the store. My husband budget also likes it when I shop my home first!  I check to see if there something that I can pull from another room or from storage before I go shopping for a space.

If you are wanting a warm and cozy feel for your home, here are a few tips for getting the look.
