Five elements to make a cozy home

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">It's easy to recognize a warm and cozy home.  Is that feeling of  familiarity and honesty that invites you to stay longer, put up your  feet while asking for more hot coco and praying you don't have to leave  ever again.  That's the feeling we all want in our  homes notably because our homes are the best reflections of our real  selves.  Hence it would be practically impossible to have a  warm heart  and not have a warm home or vice-versa as it's equally impossible to  create fake characters of our home.  The great news  is that the process to make a house feel like a cozy home may be even  easier to tackle than we all think.  Here are five simple elements to  consider.  <br /><div style="text-align: center;">Ruthie Sommers</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
