Winter Decor For The Living Room

January 5, 2017 By Meegan 6 Comments

Sometimes just after the Holidays, you aren’t quite ready to take down all of your Christmas decor. So, why don’t you create some Winter Decor For The Living Room?

Winter Decor For The Living Room is pretty simple to create.

With a little imagination, a few Christmas decorations, and your own home decor, you can have a stunning living room in no time at all.

To add a Winter vignette on my coffee table. I used a Christmas crystal wreath and a vintage oil can as the centerpiece. Adding a few greenery pieces, faux hydrangeas and mercury glass votives I had the Winter look I was hoping for.

I like the sage greenery which adds a softer Winter look and feel.

Oh my! Wooden bead garlands are all the rage in farmhouse home decor right now. I happen to win one in an Instagram contest. How fun is that? I like to use my wooden bead garland in all my decorating now.

Creating a pretty vignette on my coffee table turned out so pretty, with just a few Christmas decorations and what I already have in my home.

I found this 6 cup muffin tin at the thrift store. As soon as I saw it, my creative juices started flowing. There are MORE ideas right here.

Create a Winter Slumber Chalkboard with a beautiful frame and a cereal box. I know, sounds crazy, but it works perfectly.

Mix in pine cones, vintage jars, and Epsom salt for a Winter vignette. You can see that I used the crystal wreath for my shelves. These simple ideas will help your Winter Decor For The Living Room become a welcoming area.

Tiny little crystals add just a small touch of glitter and glimmer. I believe I bought these at Hobby Lobby.

To welcome your Winter guests, add crisp blue pots right outside your front door. Place evergreens in them, along with succulents and pine cones. For a fun touch, add a sweet red cardinal right on top.

Your own Winter Decor For The Living Room will be impressive and stunning using your imagination.

What do you think you will try first?

Have a wonderful day and enjoy more Winter tips below.

I imagine you are finishing costumes, buying,candy, carving pumpkins, or preparing for a Halloween party to attend. The excitement is everywhere. As for me, I am still in Fall decorating mode with my book page pumpkin with a door knob stem.

I really do have a fascination with book pages and all that you can do with them. Why? I have no idea, other than I like the look, feel, and aged look they bring into our home. To me they are a piece of art themselves. With worn, torn and aged pages, they tell more than a written story.

On my coffee table are 3 of my book page projects. I have many more around our home, as well.

Vintage Mirror With Gold Tint

October 16, 2015 By Meegan 3 Comments

Hello everyone! It is so good to have you here. This week has been a little slow for me. But, I am doing well and happy to be here on my blog. Especially to show you my Vintage Mirror With Gold Tint.

I received this mirror shortly after my grandfather passed away. It hung in my grandparents bedroom along with their bedroom furniture as long as I can remember.

The frame of the mirror was a dull gold, coppery color. A little boring and “heavy” looking.

About 5 years ago, when I was trying to lighten up our small condo, I painted the frame of the mirror Turquoise Mist from Olympic Paint. It has been that way ever since.

June 1, 2015 By Meegan 2 Comments

Hello Hello! It is great to be with you today. As you remember, I spent 10 days in Washington D.C. with one of our daughters. She text me before I got there and said, “How would you like to recover my chairs while you are here?” I replied with a HUGE YES! You may have seen many chair makeovers on Pinterest, but I wanted to show you How to Recover a Dining Chair Seat, my easy and simple way.

We started out with 6 chairs, looking like this. Not bad, at all. The whole set was given to our daughter for free. The BEST price, right?

Having a family of 7, she wanted something durable. And not plastic.

But this is the piece I wanted to mimic:
