Today’s challenge is one I long for in my home but I haven’t been able to accomplish yet.  Do you have a cozy spot in your home?  A spot that maybe you have your morning coffee or read an inspirational devotional for the day?  A place where maybe you go at night to just unwind and read or sit for a minute and reflect on your day?

I love our living room and it is where we spend our most time.  I usually work in our living room, and that is also where we gather in the evenings to talk, play, watch a movie, and enjoy being together.  But I have also wanted a certain spot that is a bit “cozier”, that I could maybe “set aside” for certain times or activities.  I actually would love to add that type of spot in our living room and in our master bedroom.

So here’s some of my inspiration:

This picture is from BHG in a slideshow of pictures of the top ways to cozy up your home.  I love the basket for extra blankets or pillows and the ottoman. 

And this picture is from the Gaspar living room off of Fixer Upper!  I loved this episode and this living room.  There is an entire living room on the other side of this picture.  But yet look how cozy this one spot looks.    I think I could enjoy my morning coffee right there.

And this picture is from Erin at Nest for Less and her master bedroom makeover.  It is simple and perfect spot to create a cozy nook in your bedroom.  To sit in the morning or night and just recharge for a few minutes doing something that you love – reading a book, reading a devotional, or drinking a cup of coffee. 

You can see that all 3 of these pictures have 3 basic things – a lamp, a chair, and a side table.  I have the side table – just need to find the chair and the lamp now!  

Do you have a cozy spot in your home?  Where is it and what do you love to do there?

Challenge for today: Create a cozy spot in your home.  You may already have a chair – but maybe you need to position it someplace else and drag a lamp over on some kind of side table, stool, or even a crate turned on it’s side.  Use those corners in your room to create a cozy nook.
