How do you make your house look January-ish? I have gloves and jackets everywhere...and a coat rack hanging with our prettiest scarves. I am holding off on spring flowers and lightly scented candles. I figure we might as well wallow in the spicy scents and deep colors as long as it's dead winter...they'll be brightened up with hints of bright red in a few weeks anyhow for Valentine's Day!
We used our last wedding gift certificate at Pier 1 this past weekend.
We snagged new coasters with bits of blue, white, green, and gold. It's amazing how something that costs so little ($3.98 and on a gift card at that!) can add a little bit of brightness to our whole living room!
We also added a beautiful new lamp to the table by our front door. My Aunt Lynn had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of going through some model homes and picking out whatever she wanted FOR FREE!! I may have hinted that a new lamp would rock my world and she delivered!
This lamp is really much larger than it looks here. It adds a perfect sense of height to that corner of the room and the big white lampshade makes everything seem brighter. I'm experimenting with lampshades this spring. I'm hoping that if I change out the red shades we have to seasonal white ones, our living room will look breezier for spring and summer.
Finally, I saw this little happen-stance scene when I looked up from my computer this morning and I had to take a picture. Who knew your husband's boots could look adorable in your living room? :) Not I!
Hope you find a little happen-stance beauty during your day!
Much Love,
C
