Those are the months we should all go on a cruise together, the dark, frigid weeks of winter.
I recently got an email asking about advice for decorating from January till spring. All I know is what I do and I can assure you I don’t have any January-Spring rubbermaid bins full of cute decorating stuff. Out with the heavy Christmas decor and in with the…?
Here’s what I find myself focusing on:
- crisp
- white
- clean
- sparse
- natural
- fresh
- warm
For the most part, in January, I’m focusing more on taking things out of my house. I remove a few pillows, clear off some of the tablescapes and freshen up the mantle.
I use shells and starfish all year around so those are sitting out already. In the winter I make it a point to set around little hats that I remember my boys wearing {stuffed with tissue paper so they stand on their own}. And I welcome gloves and scarves laid out on tables ready for the grabbing. My boys know their fake uggs {fuggs?} can sit in front of the fireplace. Lastly, I make sure we have a good supply of candles.
What about you, do you have any winterized decor?
