Happy Wednesday, friends! I hope you're all well. We have had the most beautiful weather lately but the past couple days have been dreary and cold so I've been leaving the fireplace on and just taking it slow! It's always hard for me to just relax and enjoy sitting STILL but the weather really plays a big part in my mood and my laziness scale LOL...
I did a little mantle refresh with some of my favorite things because I believe a fire isn't a FIRE without the essentials!! Wayfair and I have come together to share some of my favorite fireplace cozy necessities.
For me, I have several essentials for fireside relaxing. I like to get all the senses going! Smell, taste, sight, touch, hearing... Here's some of my favorites...
For SURE some wine in a classy glass ;)
Snacks on a cute tray
Cozy lighting with candles and sconces
Definitely warm blankets and pillows
I love having entertainment whether that's with the tv
books with some cute book ends
or music. My record player gets used daily over here!
Baskets for blankets and firewood for that extra cozy feel.
Covering all the senses with cozy goodness makes my fireplace extra special in the colder months.
I feel like this year I will be using this fireplace SO MUCH. I already use it almost everyday. My boys love turning it on when they watch tv. They love to just lay on the couch with a fun show and the fireplace on. We've been having lots more movie nights with popcorn since having this fireplace in here and it's really brought so much peace to my heart. I know it sounds silly, but when my home feels warm and cozy, I'm at peace. Lighting, textures and smells all play a huge roll in warming up your home and during the winter, I'm ALL ABOUT IT!
What are your fireplace essentials?? I linked lots of cozy items from Wayfair below to get your fireplace ready for the cold months.
I hope you enjoyed and got some inspiration for your own home! If you don't have a fireplace, I strongly believe that all of these things are necessary haha I've used them to cozy up my home forever! Thanks for stopping by today and everyday. Have a beautiful rest of the week!!
