Here in the Northeast, we have been fortunate for the past two winters, with only an occasional dusting of snow that melted soon after. But today, this one looks like it might be the real deal, so we are hunkering down with firewood and food, hot cocoa and lots of candles… just in case.
As we sit and wait for what is reportedly to be “a potentially historic storm“, I would like to share some images of warm and cozy spaces from my Houzz.com Ideabooks featuring fireplaces, this week’s design High Five for Friday! These are spaces that invite you in to peel off your hats and coats, kick off your boots and cuddle up in a warm, fuzzy blanket to sit and read awhile. This space by Peace Design is so grand, but so warm and inviting, using wood and stone to create a cabin-like feel.
This spicy red walls of this space by Smith and Vansant Interiors envelop you in warmth.
Who wouldn’t want to cozy up in this lakeside cabin by Lands End Development.
Who couldn’t dream of sleeping in this spectacular space by Bill Poss, with the snow-covered vista in the background?
And this bedroom by Bess Jones Interiors is just plain dreamy
I adore the simple bohemian farmhouse style, with white wainscotting and stone fireplace by Bosworth Hoedemaker
And this copper clad fireplace in an eclectic dining space by SF Girl By Bay
Now if I had a library like this amazing one by Timothy Corrigan Inc., I wouldn’t mind those 5000+ books that Coach has collected…
OK, time to grab a good book (hey, check out my goodreads section, I have added some awesome decorating books!) and wait for this storm to pass. Keep warm and safe everyone!! Susan
