For winter decorating, to help beat the winter blahs, brighten and warm things up, I like using tones of white along with gold and a bit of sparkle.
It's an easy transition from the holiday decor. And, it works well with my neutral color scheme!
My pretty and decorative cage is a fun home decor item that can be accessorized many different ways, using many different items. The sweet painted iron bird is a perfect addition displayed on a white ceramic pedestal. I added a few small and mini sized pine cones, and also added a touch of glam and gold sparkle inside, and on the top.
Some plain LED candles are dressed up by using ribbons with lots of sparkle, and mini pine cones. Apothocary jars are another home decor item that can be accessorized many different ways, they can be filled with many different items such as the gold acorns I used in mine.
What is winter without a snowman? [We don't typically see much snow here in the south, however we had a forecast of snow over the weekend, but, were one area that didn't really get any.] This little fella is a porcelain keepsake ornament that comes out at the holidays and is one of a few snowman around our place that are not made out of real snow ...but I'm OK with that! He gets to stay around a while longer after packing away the other holiday decor! ...'Cause "baby it's cold outside!"
A gold basket/bowl holds some of my pine cones that I lightened using bleach.
This is a beautiful addition to my home, my winter decor, and all year long. My search was over the moment I found this lovely pitcher, and a matching bowl! I'm so happy I had passed over a few other pitchers before finding this one. It's a thrifty find that I treasure.
A layering of plates, one clear and one gold, placed behind the pitcher and bowl as a backdrop for the set makes it stand out, and it adds more glam and sparkle!
Speaking of sparkle! Pictured here are two gifts from my Daughters, the gold-glittered pine cone tree, and the gold magnolia dish beneath my glass cloche.
Both of my girls know my love for gold, magnolias, and things that sparkle. They spoil me with beautiful gifts to treasure.
These are just a few of my ideas for decorating during winter, for me I like light, bright, and cheerful. That's a welcoming thing on a dreary cold winter's day in January!
Happy decorating!...
