Happy Holidays all, Kate Cabiltes here!

As a host with holiday guests you know of certain must have guest essentials to stock the room with, but striving to outfit a room in a cozy way can make all the difference in truly making guests feel comfortable. The country home of Ashley Putman featured on Southern Living several years ago (as well as numerous other blogs and publications including Lonny) provided endless inspiration to me when seeking out cozy winter vignettes for my own small spaces. This guest room featuring the classic Pendleton blanket is filled with warm cozy neutrals that give off an eclectic beachy mood as well. To get the look, pull rattan or seagrass elements, lots of stripes, and a few kitschy knick knacks and you have the look. White paneling on the ceiling or headboard add additional coastal vibes. This is a look that can work year round but is appreciated even more during the cold Northeastern winters!
