Change It Up For The New Year

December 30, 2013 By Meegan 7 Comments

 

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!!

My Winter White Shelves

January 10, 2013 By Meegan 18 Comments

I am really loving my winter white shelves.  They look so cozy and welcoming.  To decorate them, I “shopped” around my house.  Do you ever go “shopping” in your home, too?  It’s so fun!!  I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

I wanted to have a Winter White look.  Not stark white, but creams and whites combined.  It was easy to start with my creamy white shelves…

Shopping around the house is easy, fun and cheap.  I started out with my book page wreath as a base for the whole look.  I loved adding the pine cone garland to add some texture.  I like making it uneven for variety.

I am in love with this clock from our TV Room, because it is white(ish) and perfect for this look.

The top shelf  is shared by my cute angel (a gift from a dear friend), a tray full of 3 candles and pine cones (a gift from our daughter-she knows her Momma well), my cute plump bird, and the tiny urn.  I painted both the bird and the urn after I purchased them.  I couldn’t resist!!

The bottom shelf holds the clock, 3 candles (From our son’s wedding), a tea cup made by my grandma, and a simple white pot (from my sister-in-law).  I also added some dried hydrangeas to add an ever so tiny bit of color.

This is my view if I turn around and look from my computer desk.  Pretty cool, huh?  White, Wintery, and I did it all by “shopping” right at home!!  No money spent and I had a great time putting it together!!  You can’t beat that, right??

If you like these winter white shelves, you might also like my winter book shelves in the living room, too!!

I am glad you stopped by today!  I love reading your comments and thoughts!  They really make me smile!!
