Happy New Year friends! I’m so glad you’re here today for our winter home tour. I have to admit I was totally feeling the post holiday blues last week. Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year and all the decor just makes my little heart happy. Once I boxed it all up I felt like our home looked empty and plain. Going from those sparkling twinkle lights to a gray winter can be, well, challenging. My goal this winter was to make sure our home felt cozy and restful. One of my favorite bloggers, Annie from Zevy Joy<\/a> does this with ease. Her beautiful home is apart of our winter home tour as well. Be sure to stop by her tour today.<\/span><\/p>\n

I don’t know about about, but I personally love neutrals. To add interest and ramp up the comfy, I’ve added tons of texture and lots of throws. No one goes without a cozy blanket in the Becker house! If you were to ask my hubby J he’s tell you we could open a store on our throw pillows and blankets alone. So, grab your coffee and take a look.<\/span><\/p>\n

I made sure to keep our entry way very simple for this time of the year. I feel like we really need a clutter free spot for all those coats, boots and hats. <\/span><\/p>\n

Now to the family room –<\/span><\/p>\n

I swapped out the Christmas pillows with some soft knitted pillow covers. Those can easily be made using old sweaters.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve claimed this little spot as my reading corner this year. This chair is beyond comfy. and the natural lighting is just right.

Off to the kitchen & breakfast nook –<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Maybe it’s the heat from the oven or just the delight of a yummy pastry on a cold day but I love baking in the winter. It makes the season feel a little warmer. My son loves helping my in the kitchen so we make it a family affair. Here’s to messy but loved kitchens this winter!

We recently updated our breakfast nook. Although there are a couple things left to do, I’m loving the extra space for my vintage copper collection and the board and batten makes my heart skip a beat every time I walk into the room. I’ll be sharing the before and after and all the details in between on the blog soon. This space has changed a lot in the year that we’ve lived here.<\/span><\/p>\n

There’s something about the winter months that has me falling in love with my home all over again. Maybe it’s the family movie nights with a fire going or the quite mornings when I’m alone with my thoughts and my coffee in hand. It’s a great time to really rest and recharge. We have some wonderful plans for this old house this year but for now I’m going to curl up with a throw and enjoy these cold but restful winter months. I hope you will too!<\/span><\/p>\n

Have a lovely week friends and make sure to check out the endless winter inspiration by these other talented bloggers. Beth from 1111 Light Lane<\/a> is up next and her home is the epitome of beautiful. I’m so honored to be apart of this tour with all of these awesome ladies!
