20+2 stoves to warm your home this winter

Every winter, when the temperature falls, I start thinking about cozy spaces with fireplaces to warm them... I love so much the warmth of the fire and the colors which offers to the space when you turn off the lights! As much I would love to have a fireplace in my home, I would also love to have a stove... A stove offers such a special style to the space, even if it is a modern one or a rustic! Here you can find a lot of ideas...

Sunday Morning Tales

As I feel lately so tired & the weather becomes colder enough, the only thing I would like to do today, is to stay at home near the warmth of the fireplace and just snuggle up with a warm blanket, drinking a cup of tea, listening jazz & making plans on how I will decorate my home for Christmas, next week...

             

Black apartment with white hues

Could you ever live in a totally black apartment? I generally love dark colors but I couldn't imagine I could live in a space painted in black color until I first saw this overall black apartment! Especially the kitchen caught my attention...The combination of the white counter and its black surrounding is just perfect and those black handmade tiles are really lovely!!!

Making the closet

Well, the season for making our closet is already here!!! As the weather is cooler enough we have to bring our autumn wardrobe back.... Every time I do this work, I am dreaming of a walk-in closet where everything would be perfectly organized so as getting dressed in a few minutes, making the best combination of clothes, shoes and accessories. If you have a tiny spare room in your house convert it in a walk-in closet. You don't need a big amount of money... Only a lot of imagination! Take inspiration from the photos above.
