I’ve come to realize our home is truly more of a winter house than a summer house. Don’t get me wrong, I change the accessories to reflect the seasons and I pack the wool throws in the closet once spring arrives but I still believe the overall feel of our home screams winter. Part of the reason is that the family room is painted red.

My husband and I love cool weather. We are both native Southern Californians but we often joke that we could live in the Pacific Northwest, rain and all, without a problem.

My question is…do you think that since we prefer cool weather that I have subconsciously decorated for fall/winter? What season does your home reflect? Does it correlate with your preference for a certain season?

Does this room scream winter to you?

I really love red rooms, only had one – a dining room years ago. I don’t think it “screams” colder weather, it just gives off a cozy ambiance in any season.

Jermaine,
Thank you for your supportive comment—those little insecurities about how we decorate our homes can sometimes get the best of me! 🙂
