Winter is coming and, if you're anything like me, it's time to hibernate. But before you hide away, let's talk about winter style. Decor ideas to steal from this cozy living room: a wood-burning fireplace (of course), layered rugs, comfy furnishings, rustic wooden coffee table and a framed vintage photograph. Find more inspiration from this gorgeous  country home.   If you don't have a wood-burning fireplace: The best smelling wood fire candle in a pretty celestial glass holder. Entertaining tip: Light this a couple hours before guests arrive to create a cozy atmosphere. Always have warm slippers when you walk in the door. Forget about spring cleaning – winter's when you spend all of your time indoors. Use it efficiently by tackling these genius  organizing projects one room at a time. How clever is this DIY shoe storage? Winter obsession: Mayan hot chocolate (and churros for dipping). Serve these crowd pleasers at your next dinner party. And what kind of winter round-up would this be without my favourite luxuriously soft and comfy faux fur throws? What are your essentials for winter?
