Cozy: We seek it and we crave it. If we’re honest with ourselves we feel that a certain level of cozy is only achievable by a select few. We can all think of a home we’ve been in, or one we’ve dreamed over through our social screen, that feels nothing shy of inviting. Each detail intentionally placed, each color complimenting the next, all woven together in a way that says, “You’re welcome here.” If I've learned one thing about design, it’s that one’s home design often makes or breaks the confidence they hold as they welcome others in. Liz Marie Galvan is known and loved through her intentional, warm and inviting design. With her cozy cottage farmhouse style, she has inspired hosts to use design and identify their own style to make their homes cozy. Through this conversation we will walk through: 

• The journey that led to the success of the Liz Marie Galvan Blog 
• The role her grandmother had in shaping her love of design from a young age
• What being a military wife taught her about community and hospitality 
• How to define cozy and how to can vary from host to host
• How to prepare your outdoor spaces for summer hospitality 
• Antiquing: how to approach it and her favorite finds this season 
• How sticking with a budget, and using what you haves gives you more confidence in your design
