Comfy Cozy

It's dreary here in Atlanta today, with temperatures staying around the 50s.  And while I love this chilly, fall weather, it would be the perfect today to extend my weekend and be cozy inside.  It's days like this that I miss having a fireplace.  If I could I'd curl up in a nook someplace... but instead I have to do homework and go to school so I'm unpacking all my sweaters.

Here are cozy spots I'd rather be in...

Kitchen Chic

I'm still visiting friends and family in Dallas so I'm spending less time on my computer finding inspiration.  But I found this image on Pinterest and it's too good not to share.  It includes some of my favorite elements - seating nook, big window, white cabinetry, black and white decor, oh and an amazing little chandelier over the nook! It's flawless.  It's also a great way to utilize what looks like a smaller space.  Yet the colors make it look bright but the pillows, shades, lighting and tiny table next to the nook create a comfortably cozy vibe.
