How to Decorate After the Holidays

I don’t know about you, but I am usually the most inspired in the new year. It’s just a great time to restart, refresh, and renew. Many people are waking up earlier, starting up new exercise regimes or making use of that time for quiet meditation (or both!). Others still are working harder than any other time of the year to get a jump start on a new or existing business. Still many are taking down Christmas and putting up new decor for the New Year. That’s where my block this year has come in. I am still sort of new to this “decorating for the season” mentality. Usually I just put up my normal decor after Christmas has come down, but I want to do something new this year. I want to decorate in a winter-y way and not look too “snowman”, but get away from the Christmas-y look. I have done a little bit of perusing the inter-webs and found some fun ideas, but I still had to dig deep within me to think about what I really wanted. And what I found was that I wanted to incorporate winter green with rustic, outdoor neutrals (think pinecones, evergreen, cut wood) Hmmm, sounds familiar… So here are some of the things that my inspiration led me to do in my house. Who knows? Maybe you are having the same decorator’s block I had and are hopefully inspired by these images too!
