8 Ways To Create A COZY HOME *Fall & Winter Edition*

[@MaryseRacine7640]

Your arches are so beautiful now that they are completed. Cannot not notice them…

[@XOMaCenna]

They do make the living rooms feels so much more polished!!!

[@HarvestLuna]

@@XOMaCennaI have been looking for an arch inspiration. Will definitely be using your technique. ❤ Keep up the good work!

[@maggiepadilla6915]

I just love the bird house roof! Your mantel looks so good. Ive been trying to to decorate for a week, so it made me feel better that you had been doing it for a month. I havent been motivated because of this California heat! 100 degrees one day…!! Today I just fought the heat and completed my porch,lol. Im done!❤

[@April-vc9rq]

​@HarvestLuna I don't think you should use her technique. In one of her videos, she spoke about how she would do it differently if she she were to do it again.

[@ConservativeVeteran]

Keep reading to Cade!!! I read to my son every day from birth and before he started first grade he was reading on a sixth grade level. Reading is not only educational...it's a bonding experience! And, by the way, that mantle is stunning!

[@kimdoughman5859]

What a nice way to spend a Sunday evening getting cozy vibes with our favorite girl🤎🍁🤗

[@XOMaCenna]

🤎🤎🤎

[@brandyoctober5923]

I loved seeing Kinsley all curled up on the couch when you were lighting the candles she is so precious

[@Dingle1234]

The sofa is Kinsley-coloured. I have 2 Jack Russell types but in future would want someone like Kinsley. A cuddly affectionate lap dog but energetic, entertaining, intelligent. And no shedding! What breed is she exactly?

[@Sophie-ny4ec]

Hey girl, I think that birdhouse roof is actually a triangle book stand. Like a book mark for people (me) who like to just plop their book down open to the page. It helps protect the spine/pages from getting damaged. If it’s not just another use for it when it’s not being beautiful decor.

[@kaitymcclary8839]

Thank you for all the tips, and especially adding a good point of continuing with your color pallet in the garland on the main mantle. Sometimes it’s just so easy to throw the garland up and be done, but yours looked so much fuller and cohesive when you added the same colors to it. I NEED to remember that in my decorating ❤️

[@debloui]

Hi MaCenna. I live in Australia, and we’re about to go into summer. It’d be great if you could create a playlist with your seasonal makeovers so I can go back and see what you’ve done for the season I’m about to go into. Reading to Cade is so fantastic. I was read to every night when I was young, and I still love to cuddle up with a book x

[@hello_danielle]

As I was watching I just love how the music begins and ends so perfectly. Those small details I know you put so much thought into. I felt perfectly drifted into the next scene as the song comes down and it felts so kismet except it was you lol .. I think those details make your videos so enjoyable to watch. You aren't just throwing any royalty free music as a loud backdrop here and there. It all tells a story so beautifully. Really enjoyed this video and the various elements of making a cozy home!

[@Qrtuop]

Yeah she's great at editing!

[@mippensotti4825]

Hi, i am curious about ¿¿wen are you going back to the Cottage??

[@ColoradoLiving21]

She talked about it at the very end of her Q&A video.

[@SaraAleksS]

@@ColoradoLiving21they said that they ”will get there when they get there” so I guess it is not happening in the near future.

[@MoMoZen-nk4is]

@@SaraAleksS Yup, I got that message, especially re-enforced by Romeo's outburst. Disappointing.

[@newbloomatelier3424]

The monkey bread took me back to my childhood! My mom used to make it all the time too, but I never got the recipe from her. So glad you shared!

[@michelleodonnell7436]

Baking tip: spray your pans over the sink or open dishwasher. No worrying about overspray, it goes into an area that is self cleaning 😁 Love your videos ❤

[@MicheleWalkerWebb]

Back some time ago, I got over spray on my floor not realizing. I later slipped and fell!! Definitely over the sink.

[@sheilavanduynfote5539]

Oh my word you never disappoint when you decorate and thank you for sharing the tips for making a home cozy🤎🧡🐿️🍂🍁

[@suewestbrook1067]

Beautiful ideas. Caden reading along with his mom is adorable.

[@marthapoole9150]

Love all your cozy suggestions! And, I especially love that you’re prioritizing reading to baby Cade! That is such an important developmental activity for babies and younger children, in general…

[@gwenkosevich8817]

I love the idea of changing the pillow covers for the seasons.

[@Sher_Griff]

I think the bird house roof is a book holder. You can keep your page where you stopped reading and lay the book open to that page over the top of the bird house roof.

[@Mema-e7q]

I came here to say the same thing….perfect for your cozy reading nook!

[@susanbradley8929]

Kinsley is so beautiful. Such a good girl. 😊

[@rachaelnuchols764]

Everything is so lovely ❤. Thank you for sharing

[@NoOneHere2Day]

We're in a heat wave in southern CA. How are you not burning up wearing in a thick sweater?

[@PearlCottage]

Yes, it was 101 °. This heat us ridiculous. The East Coast had gotten hit hard with flooding & hurricanes.

[@olgaantoshkin9636]

I noticed you use a lot of taper candles on wooden surfaces and near faux flowers and books. Just wondering if you're not worried about something catching fire?

[@lauramitchell6725]

Maybe she just lights them for the video because the tapers never appear to be shorter?

[@olgaantoshkin9636]

@@lauramitchell6725 Yeah, I thought the same, maybe she just lights them up for the videos and beauty shots, but it still makes me nervous to see them burning so close to other flammable objects.

[@lesleyharris525]

It's worrying but I'm sure it's partly due to camera angles and it's easy to move it out of the risky area afterwards.

[@meprottico]

I really enjoyed this video ! You have so many beautiful dishes and props and new (vintage) things in your kitchen that this video was a great idea to show them all in a real situation where you are actually using them . Also is nice to see you giving tips. You have a lot of experience and is nice to put all this information in very specific tips or ways that then we can apply in our home . I really enjoyed also how you were not feeling the decorating vibe , but you went out of the box and turn this into something better and more useful. Thank you! Very nice. And happy fall. ❤

[@Rabiamalik214]

So wholesome! You are the only KZbinr that I watch! Worth every minute ❤ the vedio is so well shot and edited, the way you talk is calming and uplifting for us, the visuals of your home are just stunning! Plus your wardrobe matches the whole aesthetic of your home! Perfection!!

[@SouthernPioneer1965]

I LOVE that dark wine color sweater on you it’s stunning , and those pillows case. I started doing the same thing . I have a small home so I couldn’t keep getting storing pillows.. lol pillow cases are the way to go . House looks cozy ..

[@gailpierce9711]

This segment was so beautiful, I got a lot of wonderful ideas.

[@turtledove9878]

Kinsley is so cute making eye-contact starting at 0:47😂

[@heathererickson282]

I think it would be awesome if the next time you visited your mom, you have her do one of these as you help where she describes her style and how she decorates her home for different seasons. I just love when your mom and you are together in your videos :)

[@lorikegley3327]

That's a wonderful idea

[@salamieryep2552]

When will you go back to Texas and finish or continue decorating the cottage?

[@gracerodriguez6869]

The monkey bread looks amazing

[@Dingle1234]

I love every suggestion here and will use them all! B&Bs here (Canada) often have a basket of knit or crochet slippers in all colours and sizes, in a basket by the door, for guests as they come in. A way to support a local crafter as well.

[@KimberlyCoker-w8f]

Love this, and my house is cozy all year around, it’s my place to go and get away from everything. Love your ideas

[@cynthiathurston7656]

What a great video! Thanks for sharing 😊

[@jojocatattack]

Isn't the temp still in the 90's in your area?

[@Future_Rebellion]

Thanks for the inspiration, I loved the idea of a comforting fall that is cozy and in preparation for the dark winter months. I decorated today because of the perspective you provided in your video 😊

[@samanthalinney6812]

Looks really cozy. Your autumn is like the UK in summer 25 - 30 degrees in LA as I write this as that’s as hot as it gets over here so how you have a thick brown jumper on in that heat astounds me I would be in shorts😀 everything looks stunning nice job

[@Qtee101010]

[@rneustel388]

Thanks so much for sharing all your beautiful, inspiring and warm ideas to cozy-up our homes this season!! I kept hoping for a peek at the painting that you asked your mom to ‘finish’ before she left, but it didn’t happen. 😉

[@vallpop]

Amazing tips and ideeas 😍 Try to do the same mix you used to infuse the water for the smell in the house, with red wine - and drink it warm! You’ll love the taste of the wine during the cold evenings! We do it in winter all the time

[@prowler-o5m]

Designer Tip - always change out the pillows that come in the same fabric as your sofa. We never leave these on client's sofas!!! It would look so much more layered with some velvet covers or something in a different fabric. H&M Home has some amazing inexpensive velvet covers in earthy fall colours.

[@marshalawson6481]

Loved the cozy vibes. Cade curling his toes when you were reading to him. Too sweet.

I love that you’re reading The Velveteen Rabbit to your baby. One of my favorites to read to my own children! If you’re looking for a list classic children’s books, the best source I’ve found are book lists from classical or Charlotte Mason homeschooling sites. Memoria Press and Ambleside Online are two great ones.

I just wanted to leave a comment of appreciation for all the hard work you put into your videos. ❤️ The colors, the mood, the lighting, the videography, the sequencing of the clips, the fonts, the tips or ideas or hacks, the way your outfit and hair matches the vibe of the video, the music and song choices... Everything so PERFECT! You put so much thought into your videos that sometimes I watch them twice just to take in how satisfying everything is. Thank you for the quality of your content, and for being a hard working romantic who honors the beauty they witness and shares it so beautifully ❤️

My 12 year old, five year old twins and I love your videos! This did not disappoint 🤎🎉

[@LauraPendleton-m6l]

(I could be wrong) but I think the little bird house roof is a stand to keep the page on your book, you put the book over it face down so you don’t lose the page 😊

[@darlaburnett8666]

❤❤❤ makes my heart warm! It is that time of the year and you have a lot of great ideas here for people to you lots for little of nothing, especially if they already have it in their homes and the simmering pot the things that you have in it are so minimal that anybody could do it! But I think my favorite one is your Christmas one! As far as your mother‘s monkey bread/dessert that you keep calling it lol it’s great for Sunday brunch! We make it up first to get the house smelling really good and then we start on the brunch and everybody can come in and get just a little bit of it with a cup of coffee while the rest of breakfast/lunch is being finished and then they can all sit down and eat brunch together. So just a little FYI, as you probably start hosting for the holidays. Lol, I’m sure mom will continue her tradition as long as you’re going to her home with her monkey bread because after all that is a tradition she started, but it’s also really really good to see her daughter carrying on some of her traditions as well because you can always tell your kids That this is what Honey would make ❤❤❤ and hopefully they’ll carry on that tradition as well not only from mom but also from grandmother ❤️❤️❤️

[@MJCreative-Bleu96]

My Aunt Deb used to fix monkey bread all the time! I looooooove it. I think I'm going to make it too!

Please offer a sample of the candle scents, just a square inch of paper with the scent wrapped in foil. Offer it for a very small price because you don't need to make a big profit on something like that. I hope you can offer a room spray too. I buy a lot of those. I look for a Christmas tree scent during the holidays and when I find it I stock up on it. 🙂

Didn't you buy a pretty fox pillow last year for fall for your chairs? or was that for the cottage? Those are gorgeous!
