With gloomy weather and cold temps, all I want to do is curl up and lay in bed with Zelda. The weather has officially turned and it has put me into hibernation mode. One of the perks about owning my own business is that I can work from home from time to time, and this week I’m working on making my house extra cozy. I sense a full weekend of binge watching movies in my future (mostly cartoons but hey, I’ll take what I can get!). I have thirteen items that I’m always happy I have in my home and I wanted to share them just in case you’re working on nesting this week too! What are your go-to home items when the weather forces you indoors? Tell me in the comments below.
It’s easy to make your space your own with a few pieces of eye-catching wall art. As surprising as it might seem, I turn to The Land of Nod frequently. While it’s geared towards kids, there are some seriously stellar pieces that work for adult spaces too.

You can’t curl up on the couch without a comfy pillow! While comfort is key, your pillows should still be aesthetically inspiring. Zelda and I have a lot of favorites at The Land of Nod but I also recently stumbled onto the Fred Segal collection at CB2 and these pieces make me swoon.

Who wants to sleep in an uncomfortable bed? No one. Your bed should be your oasis! Once you have a cozy mattress, it’s all about the bedding. Our secret tip is to use a silk pillowcase. It’s so much better for your hair and skin, and makes for a more restful sleep!
