Need a warm place in the house

What is the best temperature to set your house to? I think 70 degrees is what is best.

If you haven’t guessed, I am from the deep south. This type of weather is quite common. When I married my husband as well as the two of us moved to the east, I decided quickly that I would hibernate for the entire Winter season. In fact, I even keep the curtains closed during the morning because I don’t even want to look at the snow. It makes me cold to see it. In the winter I head right to the thermostat to turn up the heat. Doing this does make the energy bill go up too. My husband decided that I needed a warmer spot in the house. So we are in the process of converting the attic into our own personal retreat with quality heating. I don’t want to be freezing cold in every room of the house. As heat tends to rise, the attic is warmer during the Winter to start with. It should be easy to install another method of heating in that space as well as use portable humidifiers to make it feel warmer too. More moisture equals a warmer space. Artificial sunlight lamps will be used to help grow lush green plants in the space too. Plants help with indoor air quality. The only problem that I can see with this conversion is the expense of adding all that HVAC equipment. It will be worth it though.
