Cozy White Cottage Seasons: 100 Ways to Be Cozy All Year Long

Lifestyle and DIY design blogger Galvan (Cozy White Cottage) shares a wealth of tips for creating a pleasant home in this inspiring guide, suggesting that readers focus on “what you love, what you find beautiful, and what works for you and your family.” She divides the book into four sections, each dedicated to a season, and offers suggestions for adapting one’s space throughout the year: “Spring” offers a deep-cleaning checklist and a recipe for a lavender latte, “Summer” features picnic-tips and a guide to “keeping whites white,” “Fall” has such projects as a seasonal tablescape and DIY antique art, and “Winter” provides a recipe for hot cocoa bars in addition to a guide to hanging stockings. Home decoration projects feature in each section, with spring touting a furniture change-up thanks to slipcovers, and winter showcasing an inviting layered bed. Each season has its own to-do lists, too, including experiences such as starting a healthy habit and looking for rainbows in spring, and finding a drive-in movie or exploring a corn maze in the fall, and the rich photographs are a plus. DIY-ers and those in search of design inspiration will want to give this a look. (Nov.)
