Simple, winter themed decor. (Using what you already have, of course.)

January 4, 2018 18 Comments

I’ve previously shared some of my tricks and tips for organizing my Christmas decor  (hint: store it by color!) But just because I have un-decorated Christmas does not mean that I am ready to start dragging out the Valentine’s decor or spring anything.  It’s still winter, people!

So how do I decorate with a winter theme?  First, I undo all of the color and sparkle…

… and add muted, natural elements.

I pulled away the candy canes (click here to see how I store them for future years), left the epsom salt and added in a few pine cones.  The red ornaments are gone and a few glittered and natural twigs and sticks will tide me over until February.

See?  Easy. Cheap. Happy sigh.

    I keep meaning to go pick some branches so I can make a cool display! Okay, so it wouldn’t be “cool” so much as wonky, but I like wonky.

    I’m all about using what I already have around the place and seeing it being utilized in a different way. Thanks Vivienne for the great ideas.

    I love it. I have to admit that I am over winter. We didn’t get one stinking snowflake – totally cheated out of a white Christmas. I’m pissed off at winter. I think I may have already told you that in a different comment, or email? Anyramble…I can’t bring myself to decorate for Winter, because now that Christmas is over I just want it to be spring!

    Oh what great ideas! It always looks so bare when the Christmas decor comes down so something is needed.
