Gemutlich

(guh-MOOT-lik or guh-MEWT-likh, with a guttural ending)
(adj.) Warm, friendly, congenial, amiable, easygoing, cozy

We borrowed this word from the Germans, who derived it from a very old word "muot," meaning "mind, spirit, joy." To be excruciatingly correct you'll want to put those two side-by-side dots, also known as an umlaut, over the "u" in this word (but unfortunately our text formatting doesn't allow for that). Or you can spell it "gemuetlich," and skip the umlaut.

"Of course, John Hancock is hardly the first national advertiser to feature a gay couple in such a matter-of-fact way. Ikea did it years ago, showing a gemutlich male couple feathering their love nest with inexpensive Swedish furniture." --Ruth Shalit, in that same article about advertising in Salon magazine
