Here's a tiny fall project that takes about five minutes.

Find a pretty basket and keep it beside your favorite chair or couch.

Add a soft throw, your current book, a journal, coloring supplies, hand cream, or anything else you tend to reach for when you're settling in.

Now when you want a quiet evening, everything is already there.

No elaborate "cozy night routine" required.

Sometimes making your home feel more comfortable isn't about buying more.
