Time is moving quickly — the first month of the year flew by. As we hit Groundhog Day, I’m hoping for an early spring, though the record shows that since 1897 he has not seen his shadow only 20 times. Whatever the weather where you are, I hope you’re healthy, warm, and comfortable in your home. Cozy layers, soft lighting, and simple seasonal accents can make a big difference in how you feel during the colder months.
