The house always looks a little bare after the Christmas tree and all the decorations are put away for another year.
A few winter decorations add a bit of interest.
Sometimes I just rearrange some of the Christmas things and put away anything that looks like it is only to be used for Christmas.
I am using a lot of silvery greys, blues, and frosted greenery inside the house this winter.
All of the greenery on the mantel was left up after Christmas. It is faux so dropping needles are not a problem.
I removed all of the ornaments and added a few pinecones.
This arrangement will stay here until I am ready to see some spring decor.
The candles stay out too. The candle holders on the mantel are green and can work for practically any season.
Apart from the mantel, I prefer a clean and uncluttered look.
The lighted galvanised tin houses were used as a dining table centrepiece over the holidays.
I like that they are plain and not painted to represent a specific season.
I think I will use them more that way and at different times of the year.
I have been having fun moving them around. I placed one house on top of a stack of books on top of the coffee table. I like that the colours of the books and the house blend so well together.
Here the houses are used as a centrepiece on the dining table. The houses are separated by live greenery placed in small vases of water. The branches will keep for weeks if they are placed in water after being cut.
These tin houses will be seen again, I am sure.
I removed the white cover from the sofa to reveal the blue upholstery underneath.
We like to use lots of wool throws in the living room and a silvery grey pillow cover adds to the other silvery grey details in the room.
Outside, the bench on the front porch has kept some of the decor from Christmas too. The blanket, pinecones and snowflake are perfect for winter.
Lanterns are also a favourite of mine for outdoor winter decoration.
The scarf wreath was made last winter and is being pressed into service again this year.
Outside we are using white with touches of green.
Thank you for stopping by.
