Come in From the Cold: Dark, Cozy & Glam

A library, a fully stocked bar cart and a comfortable chair = perfect antidote to freezing cold weather. Love the dark wood and gold tones. (image from Canadian House & Home, photography by Ted Yarwood)

Isn't the candelabra in this powder room a great touch? For me, the sink and faucet are an unexpected pairing that work beautifully together.

That first photo is so amazing! I would never leave; I'd wrap myself up in that throw with a cup of tea and read for hours.

I must say, when I saw that first image, I sighed a contented, relieved sigh...so soothing, my next house will have a room like that.

I'd never leave the top room. Very cozy! I love the bathroom, and the sink, but where is the soap?
