Winter’s known to be cold, quiet, still and serene. So, Winter provides us with this time for reflection and a time to “nest.” It’s a perfect time to plan ahead with some peace and tranquility. Go ahead, feed this seasonal cold with color, rich textures and tones and ideas for every style of home. Indulge in a Bogart movie, and cozy up to that luxury of British Wool we’ve featured on Pages 4-9. Now’s the time to make plans and lists of projects large and small. Start with family photos, those remembrances of holidays-past, framed in teak, cherry or walnut to complement that new floor. Winter’s the time for dreaming and wondering. Dream in color. Every floor has a color! Warm up to keepsake area rugs (See the “Pineapple” story on Page 75), or just think how the new Lustralite™ laminate gold flecks (Page 36) would bring a room to life next to a roaring fire. Come on inside and visit with us this season over a cup of Earl Grey tea, perhaps. Walk with us through some cozy spaces and dreamy designs from all over the country. Use this precious Wintertime to nest, connect with your creative side, get organized, put together your project timeline. Want more inspiration?
