Finally, everything is put away from Christmas. I know, it should have been done a week ago. My daughter came home from school today and said “Mom everything is so simple but I like it”.
She is right. I like when all the Christmas stuff is away. I don’t like putting away. But I like that it is simple.
I thought I would share with you how our family room has come together.
Starting with our mantle…
I decided to keep the mirror for now. I think in the winter, the reflection of light is priceless. By the way, there is a fire in there. But I made it and it is lame.
I used natural elements, mixed with the silver for a contrast.
I placed a glass cloche on a branch slice and filled it with a dollar store bird and some wintery elements.
I left the evergreens in the silver containers from Christmas. Amazingly, they are still alive. My indoor thumb is not very green. I figured if they were willing to still be alive, I would embrace that.
Next to the fireplace I used my textile bin, that was holding a Christmas tree, to hold firewood for my lame fire. I did keep it going all night and all by myself thank you very much.
I placed pinecone and old doorknobs in a old galvanized baking pan.
I will share more tomorrow.
I will be sharing this post at
The Stories of A2Z Mantel Party
and some of the other links in my sidebar.
Have a great one!
Laura
