Transitioning from Christmas to Winter Decor

As we put away our holiday decorations for another year, it's easy to transition from Christmas 

to winter decor.  We store our Christmas trees, mangers, Santa hats, and stockings 

but are there some decorations we can leave out and enjoy for a few more months?

Yes, please. 

Outdoors, after the Christmas lights come down, try using some of your garden accessories 

with some left-over greenery in your front porch urns for a fresh wintry look. 

Snowshoes and ice skates slide easily from the holidays into a wintry foyer. 

Table centerpieces are easy to transition. 

Just remove your vintage holiday collectibles and add some pine cones or greenery. 

Antler sheds connect us to the outdoors 

and make us feel like we're in a snowed-in mountain lodge.

I loved adding red satin bows to Ron's silver bells for Christmas this year. 

So much so that I just couldn't pack them away. 

Instead, I took a few out of the windows and mixed them in with my kitchen ironstone.

A grouping of white candles in silver candlesticks

reflects a warm wintry feel in an old dining room mirror. 

The display on the console table didn't change at all after Christmas.
I think the white palette still works well with my ironstone and other white accessories
and I think it looks more wintry than Christmassy.
Besides, it was so pretty, I just couldn't dismantle it.

So, if you love your holiday decor like I do, take a second look around 

and see how you can mix it up to enjoy in the winter months ahead.
