A Smattering of Winter

I remembered to take my winter pictures! YAY!!!! So today I thought I'd give you a little tour of our apartment with all its winter decor up for display!

I put away everything that was most definitely Christmas, but I did leave out a few things that felt just plain wintry. We are enjoying the combination of subtle and cozy that they provide, so we thought we'd show you how it looks, apartment-style!

I moved a few of my small trees into the guest room and put them on the bench under the window. We don't have any lights on these trees, and of course there aren't any ornaments on them, but they provide a nice touch of texture and color to an empty corner. 

A couple of non-breakable snowmen landed on the sink in the guest room. I figured if they got knocked into the sink by accident, they'd be safe. 

Our buffet area is back in its rightful place, and I made a couple of sparkly new year spots on it. Since we had leftover glasses and hats from our 2021 new year celebration, I incorporated those. And the part in the back reminds me of fireworks, which just makes me happy!

Brutus got in on the action, too. I think he can see better with these glasses on, but the hat is decidedly too small for his big head.

This corner is my favorite. I left up our flocked tree - with lights on it, and put some lanterns near its base. I put some other pinecone-filled/flocked trees and a snowman on the stove, with the birch branches in front of it. This is the coziest little area, and I just love it!

A couple of tiny trees in the coffee and utensil area...

The snowballs were in the cloche jar for Christmas, too, but I left them for January. I also added snowflakes where the wreaths had been on the cabinets. I like that touch!

This is our "porch" display. Snowmen, plain trees, snowballs, and a sled. 

We'll leave it up for a month or two and enjoy the cozy view...and then it will be time for SPRING!!!!
