Sunday Scroll |1

Lifestyle

19 Mar

Hello dear friends and happy Sunday!  I’m back after a short break (I was sick with COVID) with a brand new series – Sunday Scroll.

Every Sunday I’ll share with you five things that caught my eye, grabbed my attention or stopped me in my scroll at some point during the week.  It’s that simple!  Just a fun little way to share in almost real time, just what’s got my attention each week.  

No. 1:  Interior Side Lights

I had just been scheming with B on an idea I had to add more wall space to our family room opposite the fireplace without closing the large doorway completely.  It’s nice to have so much light flood in and I had the idea of using the glass from the french doors that used to be on this opening to create sidelights that add more wallspace without making the doorway feel more closed off.

Then this week as I was scrolling through Instagram I stumbled upon this lovely shot from Stephanie of @BloomingIvyLane and I was convinced this was the way to go!  Not an exact representation of my vision but pretty darn close!

No. 2:  Garnet Hill Linen Bedding

This linen bedding from Garnet Hill is so beautiful and so amazing.  I’ve had my eye on these beautiful patterns for a while now and just came back to them again this week.

No. 3  Milk Eye Concealer

I’ve been really making an effort to put more time into myself this year.  Part of that has been reinventing my beauty routine.  Not trying to look younger but simply to be the best version of myself I can be at this stage of my life.  A little eye concealer goes a long way to brightening the eye area and this Milk Eye Concealer is a current favorite.  I love the little roller ball applicator and this shade is just a little lighter than my natural skin color so it’s bright without looking fake.

No. 4 Cozy Cottage Inspiration

@froken.frida is one of my favorite new accounts to follow for cozy inspiration. Frida is located in Sweden and every one of her photos transports me into a world I’d love to explore more one day.  Somehow her account also reminds me somehow of my grandparents homestead.  Beauty found in the simple.

No. 5 Old House Patio

Spring is here (even though it doesn’t quite feel like it) and B and I have a lot of projects we would like to tackle outside this year both at home and the beach house.  I just love this brick patio and how it’s tucked in under the trees.  The teak furniture is beautiful and classic only get better looking with age.

5 Ways to Transition Your Decor from Fall to Christmas (Without Feeling Rushed)

There’s something about a cottage-inspired home that instantly feels welcoming. Maybe it’s the layers of soft fabrics, the warm glow of a lamp in the corner, or the way everyday items are displayed with charm. To me, “cozy” doesn’t mean cluttered — it means creating a space where you can truly relax and enjoy the simple beauty of home. Over the years, I’ve discovered a few essentials that always make our home feel inviting and comfortable. These cozy touches are timeless, affordable, and easy to add no matter the size or style of your home. 🛋️ Soft Layers & Textiles Nothing says cozy like a stack of pillows and a throw draped over the sofa. I love mixing neutral tones with subtle patterns — florals, stripes, or checks — to create that layered, collected look. In bedrooms, a quilt or coverlet at the foot of the bed adds both charm and warmth. Image Suggestion: Wide shot of your living room sofa with throws and pillows layered. Pin-worthy vertical image. 🕯️ Warm Lighting Overhead lighting can feel harsh, so I rely on lamps, sconces, and even candles to create a warm glow. A cottage-inspired home shines with layered lighting — the soft glow of a lamp in the evening makes a room instantly more inviting. Image Suggestion: Close-up of a side table with a lamp, book stack, and candle burning. 🌿 Natural Elements Fresh flowers in simple vases, a basket by the door, a vintage wooden bowl — natural elements bring warmth and texture to a cottage home. Even faux greenery works if you mix it thoughtfully. Image Suggestion: Seasonal arrangement on your entryway table or kitchen counter (sunflowers, hydrangeas, or eucalyptus in fall). 📚 Personal Touches Books, artwork, and vintage finds tell your story. A stack of well-loved novels, a thrifted oil painting, or a collection of blue-and-white dishes make a space feel lived in and personal. Cozy isn’t about buying new — it’s about surrounding yourself with what you love. Image Suggestion: Styled bookcase or coffee table vignette with books + art + personal accents. 🧺 Comfort Underfoot Rugs are one of the easiest ways to add coziness to a room. I love mixing a natural jute or sisal rug with a smaller patterned rug layered on top. It adds instant warmth and that collected, cottage feel. Image Suggestion: Angle of your living room or bedroom showing layered rugs. 🍵 Kitchen Comforts A cozy home isn’t complete without the kitchen. For me, it’s having a favorite mug for my morning coffee, simple linen towels, and a candle flickering while I cook dinner. These small details make the everyday feel special. Image Suggestion: Coffee setup with mugs + candle + linen towel. Conclusion At the end of the day, creating a cozy cottage-inspired home isn’t about following strict rules. It’s about layering soft textures, adding warm light, and filling your rooms with pieces that feel personal and meaningful. These cozy essentials are what make our house feel like home — and I hope they inspire you to create the same in your space.
