Happy Saturday, friends! It’s the weekend and I am so excited to introduce you to a new series I am part of with some incredible blogging friends of mine. Have you ever heard of the danish term hygge? If you haven’t, it’s all about creating a quality of cozy and comfortable living that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being in your home. So the first Saturday of every month, we are going to show you how we bring cozy living into our homes, and hopefully inspire you to do the same!
Fall is coming to an end so now is the perfect time to start this series, since the weather is getting cold and we all spend more time inside. Also with the holidays coming I know that I want my home to be a place that I look forward to coming to destress and relax, so cozy is exactly what I want!
One way I bring cozy living into our house is by creating little spots that are comfy and somewhere I like to cuddle up after a long day. Blankets and throws are staples for this, and also add great layers and texture to a space when you also need to change up your decor.
My ideal time spent during the cold months include a cup of hot tea or coffee, a good book, my favorite candle burning, while wrapped up my favorite warm blanket or throw. Thats pretty much the epitome of cozy living in my book!
How do you make your home cozy? I would love to know!
And don’t forget to swing by and check out all of these talented ladies too! I pretty much want to go snuggle up at all their homes after reading how they cozy up their homes.

My throw hoarding is looking like my pillow collection lately. Can never have too many especially this time of the year.
Amanda says
That bedroom gets me every time! Your home is always so welcoming and cozy, Ashley! So thrilled to do this series with you. 🙂
Lauren says
Your photos are beautiful, Ashley! I’ll take all the cozy, throws, please. 😉

Hi Ashley!
The best part about visiting homes in these series is finding a blog that makes you want to come back to. I knew that after about 10 seconds when I came to yours!
I love all of your cozy touches and eye for simplicity. My favorite time of day also, is the late afternoon when I can kick back with a book, some hot cocoa, and maybe a Hallmark rerun in the background!!
Looking forward to visiting again!
Jane

I love your home, Ashley. Your choices of furniture are spot-on. From the beds to your dining set (I especially love your Windsor chairs – I might have already told you that). I’ve been ordering plaid blankets for winters – so I’m right there with you on using them to add layers, texture, and cozy warmth!
Laurie @ VinYet Etc. says
Great minds… it’s all about the cozy blanket, the drape the scoop off of the chair and the wrapping around your shoulders, my fave! Your home is lovely, I’m so happy to be in this Cozy Living series with you, getting to know new friends! xo

There’s nothing more cozy than curling up under a blanket!
