This Blanket Ladder by Cherished Bliss is another way to store your throw blankets without letting them out of your sight.

Bringing the natural elements of the outdoors, indoors, is an ideal way to bring hygge to your living space, and these Birch Bark Candle Holders by H2O Bungalow are the perfect thing.
I just love the look of this Popsicle Stick Flower Pot from Somewhat Simple. Popsicle sticks are pretty easy to come by, and flowers just make your heart happy.
