For those of us who have had Christmas decorations out since Halloween, it can be very tempting to pack it all in. But while Christmas is over, winter is with us for a while yet, and things seems a bit bare and a bit cold without all of our Christmas treasures. This year, instead of taking all your Christmas decor down, try packing up the rich, warm colours, like the golds, reds, pinks, and leave the silvers, the evergreens, the pinecones, the whites. When you buy new decor, purchase only what will last you through the winter, not just Christmas. Jazz up your evergreens or whites with some colourful bows and birds for Christmas, and take them out or replace them with cooler versions when you are ready for a cleaner, simpler palate. Whites, silvers and greens seem to mirror perfectly our desire for a clean, fresh start to a brand new year. Happy New Year! Becky
I still have a couple of bottle brush trees and a bark pine tree on the shelf! It's still winter....although no one wants to celebrate this one any more!
