Oh, my, I’m swooning here. I love it, love everything you’ve done. Magazine-worthy! Cozy, charming, beautiful, timeless (a polarizing word, but I’m using it!), comfortable, personal, and yes, does look collected over time. Just wonderful! I want to curl up by the fire with a book and hot toddy. :)

Thank you for sharing your lovely home tour, and I hope your husband feels better soon!

ETA: This is such a neat and intriguing piece, do you know what it was originally used for? It looks like there’s space for labels above each drawer?

Lovely. Just lovely. It is relaxing just to look at your home online.

Thank you, Jinx, for your kind words! I'm happy that my house is evoking such a warm feeling just from pictures alone. You may be curled up on my sofa when I get home in a bit. ha ha. The cabinet you see was an antique store find with such a fabulous past. It has a little typewritten card attached to the back that that tells its history. The cabinet was originally built in 1900 by a pastor out of cherry wood. He passed away and someone then added the top and legs to it in 1958. They wrote that they hoped a nephew might like to inherit it. I did some research and the nephew recently passed away, which is likely how it ended up where it did :)

Your "before" is quite good but you really took it to the next level. Congrats, it looks terrific.

Fabulous is right! Wow! Truly a one-of-a-kind piece. What a treasure. :)

Beautiful ! Happy Holidays to you!

You have done an amazing job in a very short period of time . I love everything about that space, and I'm sure your husband does, too. I hope he is feeling much better soon, and I hope you both have a lovely Christmas.

Be pleased! you nailed it.

Very classic look! Looks livable without be cluttered. Awesome job!

That's just the kind of décor I love. It has depth and variety and has a relaxed, definitely not stiff look. Looks great and also very livable.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><md>From amateur decorator to amateur decorator, this is wonderful! You have an excellent eye! This cottage-y collected look is not easy to achieve. I love the comfy furniture and fireplace. I especially was inspired by the window seat area, great area for tea and toast! Thanks for sharing, I'm going to go make a cup now! Happy Holidays!

You sure nailed a stylish yet cosy environment. Just lovely. Merry Christmas.

Impressed that you did this with so little time! What an inviting and cozy space for you in your new home. Enjoy!

Wow, you have done a truly outstanding job! Love all your found treasures and the way you've mixed and arranged things. Looks better than most of the magazine/website hours tours I see. Happy Holidays in your beautiful new home!

Not sure how I stumbled upon this belatedly but it's amazing. What a beautiful space!

Great job, cozy

What an incredible eye for detail! This looks so cozy and homey and festive!

Happy Holidays!

This looks amazing! You have a fantastic eye! I'm sure it's been a wonderful space for you and your hubby to curl up and enjoy the season. It is so cozy, collected and warm. Welll done! Hope your husband is feeling better and Happy New Year to you both!
