By this point in the season, you have likely gotten a good feel for which sweaters are your go-to's and which are just collecting dust.

All you need is an afternoon and a few reclaimed crates to elevate an empty corner in your home. These instructions for DIY cratebook shelves are as easy as it gets. Simply stack the crates and secure them in place! Personalize it with decor that you can swap out for coziness all year long.
Throw pillows are a great way to add warmth to your home and making your own pillows can help you achieve a custom decor feel that no one else has.
