Winter decor brings coziness to the Great Room of Kristin Lenz’s log cabin home.
I’m so excited to be joining an amazing group of bloggers for the Cozy Winter Homes Tour Blog Hop hosted by Amber of Follow the Yellow Brick Home. If you are coming over from First Day of Home welcome to our lakeside log cabin home in The Northwoods of Wisconsin where we got over 100 inches of snow last Winter! So having a cozy space to warm up inside is essential!

Do you take naps? I’m not very good at them. I tend to lay there and think about all the things I should be doing instead. And if I do fall asleep, I tend to wake up groggy.
Now, my husband he’s a professional. He’s been a napper as long I’ve known him. He can say I’m going to take 10 minute nap, lay down and with no alarm clock wake up in ten minutes. It’s like a super power!
Even though I don’t nap often, I do still love to slow down, curl up and get comfy. In the Winter my favorite spot to be is in front of the fire. I love to do my work there, to write and read.
The Bear Print and the This is the Life sign I found at Hobby Lobby. The white fur and feather trees I’ve had for years. My favorite places to find trees like these are Hobby Lobby, TJ Maxx and Target. I grabbed my remote control battery operated candles from Walmart.
These barnwood vases were one of the first gifts I got from my husband. He found them in a shop in Montana by a local craftsman. These candles smell like a winter walk in the woods.
I love mixing in vintage pieces like this old silver trophy and stack of old books.
Thanks so much for joining me! I hope you have found inspiration that encourages you to subscribe and visit regularly! I’d love to have you along for the journey!

My husband can fall asleep with a cup of coffee in his hand. i love your cozy winter look. those wood votive holders look so cool. i can’t fathom 100 inches of snow. We got flurries a few days ago but nothing that stuck. Have a cozy winter.
Our hubbies are the same! LOL! It is amazing to see the world turn white!
You have the perfect place to cozy up for relaxing in winter. I love the bear print on your mantel. He’s so cute and he’s perfect for your WI home.
I was so excited to find him. I had the idea and was thrilled to find something affordable to make it happen!
Your home is always the coziest since you are the only person I know who lives in a log cabin in the woods. What a wonderful place to snuggle up before a fire with a good book and enjoy all the little items you have on display. Happy hibernating.
Thanks so much Carol! You can come cozy up to read by our fire anytime!
Love tihs cozy spot so much kristin! I don’t know if i’m a professional napper but i do love a good nap and i have a shirt that says “nap queen” 🙂 while i have moments like you where i just lay there and think about all the things i should be doing, i could definitely snuggle up right here and snooze for hours. your home always looks like the perfect place to relax. hugs, coco
That is awesome! I need a Nap King shirt for my husband!!! Thanks so much for the sweet compliments!!
Kristin,
Your home is always cozy and welcoming. I can imagine wrapping myself in your plaids having coffee and laughs.
Cindy
Thanks so much Cindy! I wish you could come right over for a cup and conversation!
Oh so fabulous. Love the mantel display and of course, I adore your home. Looks so cozy and inviting.
You live in the ultimate cozy winter place. Seriously. Oh, and Guess what? I must be a professional too because I can do the same thing with naps. 10 minutes and I’m up and perfectly refreshed! LOL. But I love a cozy space to curl up in as well and yours is perfect! Love your winter mantel and those cone trees are fantastic. Everything looks amazing. Stay warm!
I absolutely LOVE napping and I honestly can sleep anywhere and anytime. Your home is beautiful. I have not seen the snow yet this year and I am so bummer. I’m hoping I’ll get the chance but i’m not sure I will.
Thanks so much Cynthia! You are like my hubby when it comes to naps! Anywhere and anytime!
Thanks so much! The trees are one of my favorite things! Fun to tour with you!!
What a unique and awesome mantel. Never seen anything like it.
Thanks Anita! My kids call it the breadstick!
Well, if you are going to nap, a spot in front of your fireplace looks like the perfect place. As always, your home is so cozy and I love how you decorate. Great to hop with you again!
Shelley
Thanks so much Shelley! This has been so much fun! Happy Winter friend!
those chairs and ottoman take the “cozy” cake! totally love them and oh my gosh plaid playing cards!! your home is amazing, the perfect place to relax and snuggle up!
Thanks so much Debra! I love that phrase “the cozy cake” that is awesome!!
Kristin, your home is always beautiful and cozy looking. Your mantel looks perfect Adorned for winter and the vignette with the vintage trophy, books, and flowers is so pretty. It has been so much fun being on this tour with you!
Thanks so much Shannon! It was so fun to see my idea come together for the mantel! I love when they work out!!
I could definitely take a long winter’s nap here, Kristin! It’s like something from a movie…so different from our lifestyle here in hot and humid Houston! I can’t imagine having that much snow. Your home has such a charming and comforting vibe. I just love it. -Crissy
Thanks so much Crissy! I grew up in Texas and am still in awe of where I live now!
Love naps when I can get them! And napping in front of fireplace would be awesome. I love sitting and working in front of a flickering fire on cold winter days, too! Luxury of being a blogger!
You are so right! It’s one of the perks of our job!!
Beautiful fireplace Kristin. I always love seeing how you style the mantel. Love the new addition of the bear photo, which makes perfect company with that handsome moose. You have the perfect place to relax but I’m like you and have a hard time napping.
Thanks so much Michelle! It’s always so fun to tour with you!!
I like your bold buffalo check chairs. The bear print goes perfectly with your cabin style!
Thanks! Those chairs are our favorite and we were so excited to find the bear print!!
Kristin you cabin always inspires me! I love your cozy touches and of course your plaid! I love the barnwood vases your husband gifted you…he has good taste! Stay cozy this winter my friend!
Thanks so much Kelly! Those barnwood vases are so special!
Kristin I am exactly like you when it comes to naps, but I am a pro at lounging! Your comfy cozy living room looks perfect for hibernating! Love all the warmth and natural elements as well as your vintage touches of course. YOur trophy with roses has inpired me to bring out my big silver trophy for winter and fill it with flowers!
Thanks for inspiring and for joining the winter home tours!
So glad you found inspiration Amber! You always inspire me!! Can’t wait to finish making my way through the tours!
Love your style! We have three deer head in our living room and finding ways to work around them gets tricky but we make it work! Ive posted about it a few times. Always love using buffalo plaid!
Thank you so much! It does make it a bit challenging to decorate around mounts. Love connecting with fellow buffalo plaid lovers!
I love everything about your home. It is beautiful, warm and cosy.
Thanks for sharing at Creative Mondays 🙂 Hope you can join us today.
Thank you so much! Love linking up!
i started college in my 40s … working full-time with a young son. I’d come home from work, change, crash on the sofa for 20 minutes…look at the clock & think “I have to be up by…” 20 minutes later I’d be awake & within a few minutes I’d be on my way to school about 35 minutes away. I’m retired now but I truly enjoy by short naps…usually still 2o minutes. And then ready to go again.
I’m responding to you while my hubby takes a short nap on the sofa next to me! 🙂 You and he both have a Super power!!!
Oh my word, I want to step right into those photos, cozy up by the fire with a mug of hot chocolate and a good book. Ii could hibernate in that lovely cozy space all winter quite comfortably.
Thank you so much Marie! I’ll save you a spot and a mug of cocoa!!
Kristin,
