Cozy Home After 60
12
items Cozy isn't about a perfect house. It's about a home that tells the story of the people who live there. 🏡💕 At 68, BigDog and I are still building ours: a pantry that became our bar, a photo wall full of the people we love, and a bedroom that took us...

Our Bar Corner 🥃
My mom gave us this “pantry” and we immediately saw a bar. 😂 BigDog put it together, I stocked it, and now it holds our glasses, the good bottles, and a few memories. You don't have to use furniture for whatever the box says it's for. He's pretty da...
71" Pantry Cabinet (Our Home Bar)
The Photo Wall 🖼️
The big black frames on our photo wall! The white mats make every photo look like it belongs in a gallery, even the ones I took on my phone. 😂 A set of five means the wall looks pulled together instead of random. (Affiliate link)
upsimples 16x20 Black Gallery Frames (Set of 5)
The smaller frames that fill in around the big ones. They match the 16x20s, so the whole wall feels like one collection. These hold some of my favorite people: family, grandbabies, and of course Luna. 🐾💕 (Affiliate link)
upsimples 8x10 Black Gallery Frames (Set of 5)
The secret to our photo wall! 📸 I stopped keeping my favorite photos on my phone and put them on these ledges instead. Frames just lean, so I can swap pictures, add signs, and rearrange whenever I want without putting new holes in the wall every tim...
upsimples Black Floating Ledge Shelves (6-Pack)
Our Bedroom (8 Years in the Making)
THE bed. 😂 BigDog and I slept on a mattress and box spring for eight years because we couldn't agree on one. He wanted a big poster bed, and I wanted something cleaner. This black panel headboard is where we finally met in the middle, and it was wor...
Ashley Lanolee King Headboard (Black)
One on each nightstand, and I love them. The crystal base gives a little sparkle, they turn on with a touch (no fumbling in the dark), and the built-in USB ports mean our phones charge right there. Pretty and practical. ✨ (Affiliate link)
Crystal Touch Lamps with Charging Station
Soft, lightweight, and perfect for Arizona, where a heavy comforter is just too much most of the year. The grey works with our dark wood furniture and lets the art and curtains bring the color. (Affiliate link)
Love's Cabin King Quilt Set (Grey)
The blue and white flowers over our bed are my favorite thing in the room. They soften all that dark wood and tie in the curtain color. Ready to hang, and they look way more expensive than they are! 💙 (Affiliate link)
Renditions Gallery Floral Canvas Set
Blackout curtains are a must in the Arizona heat. They keep the bedroom cooler and darker for sleeping in (retirement perk 😂), and the soft blue color adds just enough life to the room. 💙 (Affiliate link)
H.VERSAILTEX Blackout Curtains (Stone Blue)
Our Living Room
The one piece BigDog and I agreed on with zero debate. 😂 We both rode, me on my Harley SuperLow and him on his Road King, so this hangs right over our loveseat where he and Luna sit. It's not just wall art. It's our story. 🏍️💕 (Affiliate link)

Some furniture is just furniture. And then there are pieces that become part of your family's story. ❤️ This Aurora Hills 4-Door Accent Cabinet is one of those pieces in our home. Between BigDog and me, we have seven grandchildren, and this is where ...
Aurora Hills 4-Door Accent Cabinet | Where Our Seven Grandkids Have a Special Place ❤️
Who says a kitchen cabinet has to stay in the kitchen? 😂❤️ We have this white storage cabinet in our home, but instead of using it for a microwave or dishes, I've turned it into a guest supply station! It's where I keep extra towels, toiletries, and...
