My Winter Book Shelves

January 3, 2013 By Meegan 11 Comments

I woke up the past few days to temperatures in the 20s and 30s. Not common for here, and it did get me in the mood to decorate for My Winter Book Shelves.

Since i just took down Christmas yesterday, Valentine’s Day can wait just a few more weeks. And I just love me a winter look. How about you??

I started by adding my Christmas wreath and pine cone garland. I love the leafless look with just twigs and a little icy look.

I had a some pine cones left over from my Christmas decorations so I added them to my jars and cloche. The mercury glass votive was a gift from my sweet friend, Lynn. She knows my taste well, doesn’t she?? Does’n’t it look so perfect on the candlestick?? The branch with the hummingbird nest was our Granny’s. I am loving this bare winter look so far!!

Most of my book covers are dark. So to add a softer look, I turned some of them around so you could see the pages, rather than the covers. Easier than making white covers for all of them. Although, that is on my goal list…

This is probably one of my favorite items in our home. I love this rusted birdbath filled with doorknobs. The door lock with a similar knob, and a single pine cone remind me of times past.

This barn wood box is another thing that makes me smile. I added some pine cone garland for her. I love the white, brown sparse look for winter decor. And of course, some shells and white rocks add more texture.

I added a few more pine cones for the wintery look. I also turned my book ends sideways, so you can see the detail. Aren’t they so perfect for this shelf. I found them at Kirkland’s in brown, brought them home and painted them up!!

I have used this twig ball several times all over our home. Again using the pine cone garland for a little filler and my jar to add a small vintage feel.

I filled these jars with pine cones and magnolia pods. Raising one of them with a candle holder gives the feel of an apothecary jar. Easy!!

I am loving the whole picture here. The girl portrait, the coffee filter garland, the pine cone garland, the framed wreath, and of course a few shells scattered in-between it all, makes me smile.

What is inspiring you for winter and the new year?? Leave a comment and let me know-I love to hear what inspires others!!

EASY Framed Winter Wreath

January 18, 2016 By Meegan 10 Comments

How are you this fine January day? Is it cold where you are? We have been having unusually cold nights. Down to the low 30s every night recently. That IS cold for Las Vegas. I thought it would be fun to adorn our front door with an EASY Framed Winter Wreath to celebrate our cold weather.

I like thrifted frames. They can be found at reasonable prices and the more unique for me the better.

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!!
