Calm Winter Decor Living Room

Many of you are saying how odd it feels and looks

 after we take down all the festive holiday decorations.

 Things may feel a combination of refreshingly

 clean, open, and some may even feel sad & empty....

but what a great time to get busy making your nests beautiful!

Snuggle into your winter themes and enjoy your spaces.

I absolutely adore the beauty of winter.

 The snowfall is so serene, and brings

 calm to my weary self after the harried holidays.

I try to bring that same sense of peace inside, too...
perhaps even with its frosty bits it brings coziness too.

I love to decorate in a winter theme in my home -

 with sparkle and snowflakes and whites and silvers.

Mixed in with my warmer neutrals,
 they seem to play well together.

Winter is the perfect time to bring out

the old unpolished silver plate and mercury glass collections.

I've used a recently polished silverplate bowl

to hold a special handmade Christmas present from my crafty eldest daughter.

The pic of our two beautiful daughters/bridesmaids

from our wedding looks lovely nestled near

a frosted silver winter bouquet.

Finding this wintery sparkle birdie candle on sale last year

was such a thrill. I couldn't wait to bring it out after Christmas.

Can you see it has a pretty pearly bead for an eye?

I think it just may be a finch, what do you think? 

Snowflake tea light holders lined down a family heirloom cedar chest

(used as our coffee table)

gives a nice simple look without too much fuss and clutter.

Here I show them a different way:

Use an extra large 3 wick candle ring

 and string it up on the top of a mirror

 for a frosty mini wreath.

Tucking a crystal & metal snowflake inside it completes the look.

Even a simple greeting card can help carry a theme

 when you find the perfect one to display!

I'm not much for cute whimsy

 but I have had this snowmen rug for years

 and it always makes me smile.

It's a nice happy to greet friends at the door,

and quickly bring them inside to the warmth.

WHATEVER Your decor,
 I do hope you stay warm and cozy all winter long.


Spring will be around the corner, no doubt quicker than 
we think- time surely flies fast.

As always, thank you for your visit!

♥
