• Put breakables out of danger zones. A party is no fun if you’re worrying about someone sitting in your rickety heirloom chair— don’t they know that it’s just to look at?!— or knocking a precariously placed treasure off the console. I like to fancy myself fairly detached from my possessions and we have very few fragile or precious pieces in our home, but this advice has served me well.
• Break out the slipcovers. This isn’t always appropriate or necessary, but for large gatherings where you’re expecting food and drink to be consumed in all rooms, draping fabric over certain favorite stain prone pieces can help save you a few .
• Have napkins on hand and make sure your guests know where to find them. A no-brainer tip for sure, but one that I’ve managed not to follow while throwing our last few parties. We don’t normally use paper napkins at home, so I often forget to buy them when we have bunch of guests. However, after I spied an embarrassed little guest brushing loose crumbs onto the arm of our sofa, I thought I better make a note of this one.
• Stock up on spill cleaners and put them in an accessible place. I have a friend who always adds seltzer (for red wine spills) and shout wipes to her party grocery list and keeps them in a basket on her living room bookshelf so she can whip them out subtly without having to run off on a frantic search or make a big scene if a guest spills something that requires a quick clean-up.

Love the photos above the bed in this. Thinking of doing this with my house.

1. Fool the eye: Sometimes warmth is a matter of perception. Warm colors and textures make you feel warmer so change out your decor. Try a throw so you can snuggle under it.
2. Cut a rug: Cover up your bare floors with a rug.
3. Bake something: Stews, roasts, casseroles and soups are made for the cold weather because they cook at low temperatures for a long period of time and, of course, they warm you up going down.
4. Drink something: Wrap your hands around a warm mug of tea, cocoa or coffee.
5. Let the sun in: Open curtains and blinds during the day.
6. Change your bedding: Switch to flannel sheets, a down comforter, use extra blankets.
7. Clean the house: Not only will your house be cleaner but activity will get your blood pumping.
8. Cover your head: It sounds silly but wearing a hat (and socks) to bed at night, even if the rest of you is clad in skimpy clothing, will keep you warm.
9. It’s muggy in here: Use a humidifier. Humid air feels warmer. No humidifier? Open the bathroom door while you’re showering.
10. Reverse the fan: We’ve heard that, since heat rises, running your ceiling fan in reverse will push the warm air back down to the ground.
11. Do your laundry: Nothing warms you up like clothing straight from the dryer.
12. It’s drafty in here: Block drafts with weather stripping, a rolled up towel or a draft stopper.
13. It takes two: Snuggle up with your friends, or your significant other.
14. Something old fashioned: Try a hot water bottle or, before you get into bed, running a hot pan over your sheets. Bags of rice or dried beans, warmed in the microwave, are another option

Now we can all enjoy my new boots.

Waking up and getting out of bed seems very optional.
