Getting cozy inside when it's stormy out...

As I'm sure you all know by now, here on the East Coast we are all bracing for Sandy to hit. Schools are closed, offices are closed, and transit is at a halt. There's no where to go but to stay home, and why not make it as cozy and comfy as possible?

I'd love to know where this house is

We were without power for a whole week this summer, so we're bracing for the worst this time, and have gathered up all of our candles and filled all of our pots with water.

Nothing says cozy like marshmallows and cocoa.

And of course, park yourself in front of the fire if you are lucky enough to have one...

How do you get cozy?

striped light

My favorite tapered candles are striped. I love how they add a casual touch to traditional interiors like ours. They are made by Ana Design, are offered in lots of color combinations and a choice of pillars or tapers. I get them at Hedges, a pretty store in downtown Chagrin Falls, a good source online is Five Stripes.

Shop Five Stripes here or call Hedges here.
