Staying Warm

L.L. Bean Ultrasoft Comfort Flannel Sheet Set

Much of the country, as many as 200 million people, will be affected by this monster snowstorm. Then it is predicted to stay very cold until Groundhog's Day. We will be turning cold here in South Florida too. Here's how to stay toasty.

Blue and White Checks

Mark D. Sikes - Architectural Digest

The gorgeous Hollywood Hills home of Mark D. Sikes is filled with blue and white checks since his latest refresh. Above is Brunschwig & Fils blue and white gingham Carsten. It is such a timeless classic.

Coastal Cozy

Sea Meadows ChappyWrap

 

My favorite blanket ChappyWrap has a new Coastal Collection. Calming, warm, and a breeze to care for, your ChappyWrap is sure to become an essential part of your everyday life! 

The Blue and White Living Room

Serena & Lily

I am really drawn to this room. I love the blue star wallpapered ceiling, the tufted oversized ottoman as a coffee table, the chunky abaca rug, the stunning coral chandelier, and especially the rattan daybed.

Wicker Basket High/Low

Mark D. Sikes for Chaddock Home

I love large baskets - for faux or real trees and plants, logs, blankets, beach towels, dog toys - they are so multi-functional.

Resort Collection Blankets

ChappyWrap

Resort collection blankets? When I moved to South Florida, I had a challenging time finding a blanket that was soft and warm and cozy year round, but the ideal weight so I don't get overheated here. Once I discovered ChappyWraps I knew I had found the perfect blanket. Now I use one for sleeping, for naps, for reading, for the lanai when it is chilly, for picnics, at the beach, in my guest bedrooms, even the doggies have one. It really is the best blanket you can buy, no matter the climate where you live.

Chilly Florida Faves

Amanda Lindroth

A rare chilly day here in South Florida. I have actually turned off my ceiling fans for the first time in months. This little cold snap - only 67 degrees today -  has me in the mood for my favorite wintry items.

Two New Fall Favorites

Rothy's

 

I have found two new wonderful additions to my wardrobe that I have to share. If you follow CC, you know I am a huge fan of Rothy's, the insanely cute, comfy, chic, eco-friendly, and machine washable shoes that will make your feet so happy.

Autumn Style

Picture Perfect Nantucket

 

What a cute idea for fall and winter coziness. My favorite ChappyWrap blankets in a wicker carrier. Is that meant for logs?

Chinoiserie for the Guest Bedroom

Faux Bamboo Luggage Rack

 

I have been looking for a nice folding luggage rack for the guest bedroom for ages and I finally found it.

Living with Dogs

My pups have their annual physicals today, so it seemed like a great day to post about living with dogs.

The Blue and White Chinoiserie Kitchen

Mark Sikes - Coastal Living

 

A strange day yesterday. My painter contacted me that he has been hospitalized with Covid despite being vaccinated and boosted. He is of course in my thoughts and prayers for his full recovery. So my exterior painting is a bit up in the air.

Projects at CCC

Arnie the Bulldog

As you can see, Arnie the bulldog not only likes blue and white, but ChappyWrap blankets as well. My dogs are likewise ChappyWrap fanatics, and hog the blanket at night. I might need to get them their own. The ChappyWrap Valentine's Day Collection drops today at 10 AM ET. Isn't it darling with all the pink?

Staying Toasty in Blue and White

ChappyWrap

 

My favorite blanket of all time, the ChappyWrap, is perfect for staying warm as much of the country was hit with snow and frigid temperatures this past week. (It was 81 here yesterday BTW). It is also the perfect choice for lovers of blue and white.

The Perfect Blanket

ChappyWrap

 

I love my bed and have done lots of research and experimenting to have everything exactly the way I like it. I have shown you my Annie Selke gold leaf canopy bed that is my favorite piece in my home.
