Winter Home Tour, 2017
My winter home tour is sponsored by Chesapeake Bay Candle Company.
You’ll see their pretty candles making an appearance throughout my home today. If only you could experience how amazing my house smells at the moment! This is my first time trying their products and I’m so impressed with the packaging and quality.
Winter Home Tour 2017
This snowy Monday started with a 6:11 a.m. phone call from the school. Snow day! The kids were so happy…and of course, they both went back to bed.
Our deck around 8 this morning…
So I took this time to snap a few photos of how my decorating has come together this winter…
On this inside, I’ve kept it pretty simple this year. We added drama last winter with “buck” who commands our sunroom. But now we’ve introduced lots of fur and plaid blankets. I feel like we’ve moved into a brand new house now that our flooring project is complete and I haven’t given much thought since then about updating our decor. Just little winter touches added here and there.
The warmth from a beautiful candle is always the right touch…
I wish you could experience the amazing aromas from my new candles…I’ll take a good dose of aromatherapy anytime.
Since our bedroom has been a big focus this month, we’ve been spending a lot of time in here as a family enjoying movies. Our corner mantel in the bedroom is getting a lot of use these days…I’m still working on styling it, but the Lotus + White Tea candle from Chesapeake Bay adds just the touch of warmth that it needs.
MORE ABOUT THE THE ALASSIS COLLECTION
Alassis is an exquisite collection of home fragrances inspired by the sophisticated early Mediterranean civilizations, cultures, and gardens. The collection was created by Chesapeake Bay Candle co-founder and Creative Director Mei Xu in 2012.
From Mei’s native China to her adopted American home, fragrance has been a great passion and constant influence throughout her life. Since the early 1990s, Mei has traveled the world exploring art, culture, design and scent.
During her travels, Mei fell in love with the Mediterranean region with its vast quantity of sumptuous botanical fragrances and its rich history as the cradle of fragrance of early civilizations. Since ancient times, the power of scent has been thought of as mysterious, mystical, and sacred. Scents were used at rituals, for the power of healing and relaxation.

Thank you to Chesapeake Bay Candle Company for contributing to my “comforts of home” theme I’ve been following this January.
It’s funny how you can live somewhere for twenty five years and never hear of something! Which is crazy since we use to lived pretty close to where their factory is in Glenn Burnie, and I’m a candle nut! So I guess I’m going to have to take a trip to Annapolis and check out this place! I’m sure my husband will be thrilled! (Cough, cough).
Still loving your new floors! I really want and need to redo ours in several areas of our house. Builders had no clue what they were doing so we are slowly having to redo things. I love the look of your Pergo. I was worried though about how well they would hold up. We had Pergo in our first home and it wasn’t as scratch and chip proof as it said it was. But that was 14 yrs ago so I’m sure they’ve made things better by now. Wondered how yours if faring?
Hi Kim! So far it’s holding up really well! We are so happy with it! I think Pergo has come a long way.
Hey Jeanette! Your home is so lovely and I especially like the way you have decorated it is highly creative and amazing. Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas. Totally adored everything about your home xx

Absolutely gorgeous. I’d love to duplicate that space in that first image. What color gray did you use on the wall?
Actually I meant the image with the sofa and plush throw blanket. What color is that gray wall?
Thanks so much! The wall color is Kendall Charcoal by Benjamin Moore. :)
