Winter Putz Display

While most people display their Putz Houses during the Christmas season,

I reserve mine for a favorite winter display...

Why?

Because, I have way too much Christmas decor to display and not enough surface space to show and share it all at the same time!





And it's something that I look forward to after the Christmas decor is all put away!



Plus, I hand made all these Putz Houses except

LivingRoom Winter Decor!

I don't mind taking down Christmas decorations because I have so much winter decor to put in it's place!
This year I made this felt snowflake pillow...




Just by adding old buttons and ball trim made it the cutest pillow on the couch!


I found these small skates at a vintage and decor shop.


And an old wooden bowl of faux snowballs compliments the theme.


Add my bit of primitive, and

The REST of Winter decor

I have a lot of decor. That's what I love, that's what I do. After writing many posts on winter decor around the house, I have been left with even more lovelies to show you...


 Grab a cup of joe and relax...





These two birds in the lanterns were found among the Christmas decor at Hobby Lobby. They don't look anything like Christmas, were marked Christmas, and I got them 66% off ! Anyway I

Winter Door Decor!

One of my favorite things to do as my decor constantly changes, is to get out some of my decor that just seems to touch my heart.











Most of the time I don't know why something speaks to me, but if it's really lasting through the years, I feel it must mean that it's these simple pleasures of finding, making and displaying just these certain things is part of what life at Forever

Foyer Winter Mantel ~ 2013

We have four fireplace mantels in our home. One, (living room) was a wood burning that was converted into gas. One, (basement) is electric and two, (upstairs hall and foyer) are fake! Hubby and I built these last two and I have so much fun decorating them.

Winter Hutch ~ 109

It's back!  This decorated hutch!

Enjoying this piece of furniture and the different looks that I can give to it though forever decorating!





 This vintage print in the oval vintage frame is a favorite of the season. Vintage prints have such great patina in their coloring. I don't think I captured it well here...


Initially, I was making a 'rose' from a gray wool scrap sweater. When I was

Winter Buffet

It all started with this awesome runner! At $14.99 from TJ Maxx, how could I even begin to make this for that kind of inexpensive price? Thanks TJM for offering such fun items.

After putting away all the Christmas decor, I was happy to put together this new vignette on my buffet!






















Stay warm!
NOTE: I have painted my red kitchen Gray and WHAT A DIFFERENCE! It is not ready

Baby It's Cold Outside Mantel ~ 2013

 Baby it's Cold outside! 









The low last night was 4 degrees! Wow, is that ever cold!













I am so NOT a cold weather person!

However, I do like the change from the greens and reds of Christmas
 to the whites of winter!



















 Bella, trained to stay off the furniture, but has many window seats to enjoy.

Snowy Snowball Urn

Yesterday we had our first snowfall of the season, and it put me in the mood for some kind of showy snowy decor.





Like a lot of people I know, my inspiration came from Pinterest! What did we ever do before Pinterest? I know that it certainly wasn't as easy to find inspiration as it is today. 



Anyway, my inspiration came from this...









I just thought it screamed lovely snow! It
