While putting away our Christmas I decided it would be fun to change it up for the new year! I felt the creative juices flowing to move things around and get a new look for the new year. Do you do the same thing? I like moving the furniture around and bringing in a Winter feel to our home. Even though it can still be pretty warm around here.
I like to start with the shelves in my kitchen as a focal point. I used some of what I had from my Christmas shelves and my Epsom Salt Jars.
Instead of keeping with all natural colors, I thought it would be fun to add some gold. My Mom gave me lots and lots of pecans.
I also used them on my Anthro Inspired Pecan and Pine Cone Garland.
I used Krylon Metallic Indoor Gold to paint my pecans. Don’t they look ready for a new year???
Using the jars from my Epsom Salts, I partially filled my jars with salt and my newly painted pecans.
I love that I even have a small gold stick to add to my jar, too. I also removed all of the Christmas ornaments from each jar, giving the shelves a more winter feel, rather than Christmas.
Easy peasy! I bought the small crystallized wreath from HL (at 50 % off, of course). The wooden stump candle holders were also used on my Christmas Shelves.
I have a whole new look for the shelves to change it up for the new year. All it took was some rearranging and a little spray paint. I love when that happens!! Now I have Winter shelves and a new look for our home.
Make it a marvelous Monday and change it up somewhere in your home to welcome in the new year!!
Epsom salt looks just like snow from a distance. I think it makes the perfect filler for jars for January decor. Your shelves look great filled with natural elements.
Good Morning Meegan!
