A Cosy Winter Nook in the Boathouse

Hello everyone,

On this first day on winter and

our winter solstice I have a

cosy little winter retreat

for you.

It is nice to know that our days here

are now starting to get longer.

You can curl up with a warm furry throw

and a hot cup of cocoa in my

new copper mug from Homesense.

We have a good dusting of snow 

here and our pond has a thin

coat of ice....not enough for

ice skating yet though.

Cocoa and whipped cream

with a sprinkle of cinnamon

is a favorite winter treat.

A broader view

Christmas touches add some

charm to our little nook.

                                                                 

       Happy Winter Solstice!

                                                                 

                                            I wanted to include a snowy winter

                                            shot of our little Boathouse from a

                                            previous winter when we had a lovely

                                            coat of snow. We are expecting some

                                            snow tomorrow but alas, it will be

                                            followed by rain.

                                               I am looking forward to going for

                                            a drive this evening to see the Christmas

                                            lights.....it seems every year there are

                                            more and more to see.

                                              I will be back tomorrow with some indoor

                                             shots of our home but now I better get

                                             some baking done!

                                                                           Thanks for visiting,

                                                                                   Carolyn

Nook Looks

            Hello everyone,

         Over the past few years this little

                    nook in the Boathouse that my husband

                 and son built has had several different

            looks so I thought you might enjoy

a review of them.

             The photo above was taken last year

           as I enjoyed giving the nook a cozy

winter white look.

                                                                        A couple of years ago I used a
                                                                        red and white vintage quilt to
                                                                        give a little pop of color.

                                                                     

                                                                  The first year the Boathouse was built
                                                                  I played with a couple of looks ~ white
                                                                  above and Cabbage roses below.

     A warm and cozy plaid look.

                                                               A mix of red and white checks,
                                                               transferware and toile.

Aqua summer looks.

                                                                                     

                                                                A warm and cozy autumn look.

    White Christmas

                                         I hope you enjoyed a look
                                                   back at some of the different
                                                   looks that our Boathouse has
                                                   had over the past few years.    

                                                           Thank you for visiting!
