Until you, and not you in particular, pay my mortgage/bills/all of everything - I'll continue to do what I wish to MY home.

Just how I see it.

I have felt your pain for 10 years in Miami. I moved here from Philly and spent most of my life between Detroit and the Maryland/D.C. area. For me, and this may seem like a complete no brainer but, it's all about the scents. Once September rolls around, I start stocking up on oils, candles, and air freshners that remind me of the fall - Spiced Apple, Pumpkin, Ginger, Vanilla, Brown Sugar. If I could find candles/oils with "Fireplace" scent, I'd buy that too. Anything that can put me in the mind set of pumpkin patches, crisp autumn mornings, the leaves changing, Thanksgiving - I'm on it.

Colors also play a big role in how I have maintained the Northern girl in the South lifestyle all these years during the fall/winter/holiday seasons. Oranges, golds, browns - any deep, rich colors can make a big difference. I like to come home and enter into my own little piece of Northern love. It's worked this long.

Good luck!

Jesus, some of you are ridiculous with your comments.

I love the wall, I'm so-so on almost everything else with the exception of that white wood & glass door at the entrance of one of the bedrooms. It seems like a rather warm space for the middle of NYC.

I can dig it.

I like this idea. I might have to give this a try and let you know how it turned out.

Thanks for posting!
