For now, a rocking chair sits in the kitchen, and it is always being used.
These dark days, it is nice to have lots of candles at hand, and the kitchen is so cozy.

And, because Christmas is almost upon us, before the last box has been unpacked, the lights had to go on the tree, and the fire lit...

"A light in every corner" says so much about making a winter home. What a good idea---five rocking chairs in the kitchen. The cozy room. The family room. A "together place" and do I smell soup?
