Cotton is a fiber that grows from a plant, and flannel is a way the fibers are woven together; that’s the only difference between the two. Flannel is made from either wool, cotton, or synthetic fiber. Vegetable flannel is made from Scots pine fibre.
Flannel sheets, are warm, soft, and absolutely wonderful to cuddle in when it is cold and blustery outside.

Mercury candleholders add and reflect light. As a center piece or if spread around on any surface, in between picture frames, on a mantel, or the coffee table.
If you are willing to create your own Mercury candle holder here is a few steps to follow:
Use a 1 inch artist brush, apply leaf adhesive to inside of votive or hurricane. Wait for it to dry until adhesive is clear and tacky. Use a thin coat and brush over adhesive after about ten minutes of drying time to prevent drips and pooling.
Tear gold leafing into small pieces and sprinkle inside votive in a random pattern. Use a finger tip to gently smooth down gold leaf.
It is a look that makes any room cozy & warm.

This beautiful fruit got its name Pumpkin from the Greek word “pepino” for “large melon.” and Native Americans called it “Isqoutm squash.” More than 40 varieties Pumpkins can come in many colors, shapes, and sizes. We love Fall not only for the cool temperatures, and beautiful foliage, but because once a year we can feast our eyes on baskets, buckets, and towers of pumpkins every where we go.🍁
of the mid century Safari Chair by Kaare Klint
We have a special love toward the Safari chair. Growing up with a pair in our family room their design evolution through the years has always caught our attention.
The structure of our Safari chairs intrigued us. They looked different from other soft chairs in the house that were layered in soft pillows. This chair had many open spaces within its frame that encourage us to follow the lines and be mesmerized by its unique design.
It was a beautiful combination of smooth wood and beautiful rich brown leather with heavy stitching at every angle.
Safari chair began its common life by Kaare Klint in 1933. In his trip to Africa he was inspired by chairs used by Americans and Britons that were similar in design to the Roorkhee chair. Named after the headquarters of the Indian Army Corps of Engineers in Roorkhee, India. This chair was lightweight at about 10 lbs., and was easy to take apart and assemble back.
Today the Safari Chair comes in varieties of colors, textures, frames, and prices.
We will need our nutritious Meals to stay active and happy when bad weather leaves us in the dark and no access to stores or restaurants.
Dry fruits paired with varieties of nuts, and nut butters with chutneys or jams and nutritious whole grain crackers can provide us with protein and good variety of tastes.
Also canned tuna, chicken, salmon, can be paired with lettuce, apples, grapes for a fresh and delicious salads. Don’t forget the manual can opener. If you don’t like missing your vegetables add cans of grilled eggplant, peppers and zucchini to your pantry. Shelf stable milk, breakfast cereals, are also great for snacking.
Lets not forget candles and matches .
Why does it look so good ? The idea is old, but it somehow looks different. Is it because we are tired of the grays and the neutrals, or is it because we have a billion choices and much easier way to put up and strip away a wall paper?
Literary in minutes we can change a room with covering one wall in colors, patterns, and textures.
We don’t have to use wallpaper to just cover walls. We can cover a door, shelves in the pantry, create a window border, cover a bench, lamp shades, even stairs.
Our wallpaper choices begin with:
Prepasted, Nonpasted, or Self-adhesive paper.
Big or small as far as color & pattern:
Depends on what you already have in the room, and the size of the furniture. To make a room seem larger and still cozy, go with light colors. To make a bold statement and add a bit of drama, go with bold color.
What is in?
1- large florals in colors like fuchsia, orange and citron
2- graphic patterns
3- texture and embossed wallpapers
4- abstract
5- large black and white patterns
6- water color prints
7- metallics and metallic accents
Or just follow the simple rule, go with what you like.
