Creating a Champagne Life on a Beer Budget

Cozy Minimalism

Have you heard this term yet?  I have a hunch it will be BIG very soon.

I first came across the idea of “Cozy Minimalism” a couple of weeks ago.  I must tell you, I am HOOKED!!!

Like many of us, I scour Pinterest for home decor ideas and have not ever really nailed down a style that is “me”
I like elements of many styles…
Farmhouse Styles like Joanna Gaines does on “Fixer Upper”

Hampton Style from when the TV show “Revenge” was on

“Resort” style

But nothing made my heart sing.      Hubby and I are not “frou- frou, frilly. pillows everywhere” people

So often, I will look at decorating ideas on Pinterest in magazines and just see clutter and dust collectors, all which translates to far too much cleaning for my liking.

However, on the other end of the scale, I am not really into the starkness of true minimalism or “Industrial Chic”
The feeling I get from this style is somewhat “Bachelor Pad” or “Hotel Room”

THEN!!!   I found   “Cozy Minimalism”
The term has been coined by blogger Myquillyn Smith of Nesting Place   As I read through a number of posts, I could feel myself getting drawn to this simple compromise of stark bare minimalism and over cluttered and busy.
Her ideas have been so popular she has written a best selling book on the subject…

To complement the book she even has a course to follow and create your own Cozy Minimal home.  You can find it here. I have a bit going on right now, but I have signed up for the course.  Here is what Myquillyn has to say about the style…

Cozy minimalism isn’t a style, it’s a mindset.

Cozy minimalism isn’t about going without or achieving a particular new, modern style. Nope. It’s simply a mindset that helps you get whatever style you love with the fewest possible items. Why use more if you don’t have to?

I know you want a warm, cozy, inviting home, without using more resources, money and stuff than you need to.

Cozy minimalism is the perfect balance of simplicity and abundance and you get to decide how cozy, abundant and simple you need your home to be at any given time.

I am really looking forward to starting this and seeing how our home evolves.   I have no intention of spending a great deal of money ( as usual ?  ) as I am sure I will be able to create the suggested looks with either what I have or with KMart or Op Shop finds.

Don’t Dismiss 2020 as a “Wasted” Year.

As we wrap up 2020, I have seen much discussion given to the idea of “Thank goodness this year is OVER- bring on 2021” However, I prefer to ponder on the 2020 I have had and acknowledge the things I have been most grateful for. Firstly, is the tremendous relief that my immediate friends and…

Hello December !!

For me, December is a planning month (along with June).For the most part, I have gift shopping sorted well…

Although in Queensland, we have been lucky to not have had the heavy lockdowns of some places, hubby and I have not been go out as much as usual. This weekend though I felt like a “Cafe” breakfast and a Picnic lunch 🙂 Rather than going out, we decided to look at what we already…
