Learning from the Russians
How to Make Your House Cozy and Warm for the Winter
Part 1
by Susan DunnThis summer, I sat in a restored wood cabin on Kidzhi Island in Russia, where the winters are WINTERS and contemplated what it would be like to spend months and months in tiny quarters with your loved ones when it was freezing cold outside, and a matter of survival.
One large room, with a very low ceiling, and something very special in one corner. The corner opposite the hearth was considered sacred, and held an icon.
(See photo here: http://www.zinos.com/authors/1/AU01703/AR008456_img)
Color is very important to warmth. The natural wood on the inside -- walls, floor and ceiling alike -- was warm, and I could imagine the glow from the flicker of the fireplace.
The homes in the Russian villages are all brightly painted on the outside, something you never seem to see in the photos.
(See photo here: http://www.webstrategies.cc/nancy_and_babushka.jpg) We were surprised at the continual "fairyland," a term the guides had learned to use because I'm sure they heard it often.
They also spend a lot of time on their windows, which are not standardized and seem to be the "brand" of the family. Different sizes, ornately carved, painted in accent colors. Truly a fairytale. I was there in the summer, but could just picture what it would all look like in the winter.
We do not want to camouflage ourselves in the snow. We want to shout out "I'm here, I'm alive, I'm warm, I'm thriving!" Consider putting something very bright on the outside of your home -- door mat, door decoration, wall mounting to signal your haven from the cold.
When we entered the cabin (living history) there was a young village woman in costume seated by the window to grab the light, and to be immortalized in it -- like a Vermeer, And she was doing beadwork.
Winter cheer!
Keeping The Home Fires Burning
I've always referred to certain tasks as "keeping the home fires burning." Why did I decorate for Christmas? Why did I send cards on everyone's birthday and anniversary? Why the weekly phone calls to distant relatives, and the extra effort put into food presentation? Even my Camp Fire Girl chosen Indian name was something about "hearth."
