I’m one of those people that always dreads the onset of the cold winter months – short days, long nights and freezing temperatures don’t rank very high on my list of awesome things. However, now that there’s a little nip in the air here in Dallas (at night, at least), I’m actually finding myself looking forward to snuggling up in front of the fire under a blanket while sipping hot chocolate. (Actually, that’s already happened, minus the hot chocolate part. And we turned on the heater the other night – let me tell you, we are wild and crazy around here.)
Maybe because of the impending chilly nights, these days I’m really loving rooms with deep, warm browns, rich pumpkin tones and lots of crisp white. Something about that color combination just feels cozy to me.

What do you think – does that feel cozy to you, or is all that white too stark? Are you a cold weather hater like me, or are you counting the days until the first snowfall? And are there any color combos that are inspiring you these days?
